As a lawyer, I'm not going to visit Sam's wife just once.
I went at least seven times for the letter of understanding.
Only she never saw me once afterwards.
Meanwhile, the police investigation into Luke, the project manager, has come to a conclusion.
Luke, project manager at the New Town site.
No gangsters, no criminal record, just a salaried laborer making $6,500 a month.
He owns less than $2 million in his garage and bank accounts combined, and he only has
$200,000 in savings alone, which doesn't make him look like a guy who can afford to brag about
$1.2 million.
There's no obvious connection between the two of them, either in surveillance or communications.
Later, Luke was questioned by police alone, and Luke was confused.
He said that he was a migrant worker and did not have such a deep grudge against others.
Even if it is true, it has reached the point of buying a murderer, then he should also open a price
that he can afford, 1.2 million, if he really has 1.2 million, what kind of work ah.
What's more, he asked the police, didn't he say that Sam blackmailed him with his secret? Sam:
What about the money?
That's all Luke makes in a month, it's all in the pay card, every single one of them is recorded, and
if it's because you can't stand Sam's blackmail, then you have to show evidence of blackmail.
When the policeman heard this, he was silent.
That's the truth.
Taking all of this information together, there is no evidence that Luke was involved in a contract
killing.
At the end of the nine-day investigation, the police decided to close the case.
There was no appeal on our side, and the court initiated a second trial on its own initiative.
··....
September 5, 2014.
Second court hearing.
Scattered in the gallery were Mike Hammer's classmates, as well as a few reporters.
The case involved a "contract hit", so the reporters were quiet, as if this was tomorrow's front
page.
Compared with the first round of the trial, the prosecution has put forward some more content
besides the original case statement.
Among them was Mike Hammer's claim that Luke paid for a murder.
Here's what the prosecutor said in response to the complaint.
"We have made a systematic investigation into the defendant's claim that Luke paid for his
murder. "
"It has been verified that there is no material to prove that Luke ever traded a human life with
Mike Hammer, there is no evidence of a personal vendetta between Luke and Sam, and no case
can be made for Luke under the principle of the benefit of the doubt. "
"Therefore, the prosecutor's opinion remains unchanged and requests the court to uphold the
original verdict. "
As soon as he said it, reporters and students in the gallery booed.
The reporters booed because their expected hit-for-hire session was gone, which meant no
headlines for them.
The students booed because they didn't believe the police investigation. Luke is the project
manager at the construction site, he must be rich and powerful, and the police must be
protecting Luke.
With the judge dropping his hammer and saying "Order", the court became quiet.
The prosecutor had just finished his argument when I saw Mike Hammer Shouting with emotion.
"I'm telling the truth! Luke paid someone to kill him. He said he'd give me 1.2 million! It's all true!
"
Although at this point I also feel that Luke has paid for a relationship, but as a lawyer, the law is
my faith, I can only insist on my demands.
I occasionally caught a glimpse of Luke sitting in the witness box, looking at me and Mike
Hammer with a rather intriguing expression.
I can't put my finger on that look.
It's like saying.
"What can you do with me" kind of thing.
I was shaking with anger on the spot.
Eg. Could this guy get away with buying a hit because he didn't leave a shred of evidence?
The outcome of this case is not surprising.
It was not proved that Luke had paid for the murder.
Nor did they get a letter of forgiveness from the victim's family.
So the verdict was upheld in the second trial.
The sentence remains indefinite.
