The two police officers in charge of the interrogation immediately recognised James White, and they were so shocked that they were unable to speak, but it was the colleague who opened the door who quickly said, “Hurry up and come out, so that Mr. White can talk to his client in private.”
Only then did the two men nod hastily, rush to pick up the transcript and run out the door.
James White said to the policeman beside him, “My client doesn’t understand American law, plus she doesn’t speak the language, and she hasn’t seen her lawyer, so if there are any threats or inducements in your transcripts, you had better nullify them and not let me catch anything, or I will certainly challenge them in court!”
A few people felt a little stressed out at once.
Sometimes you think you’ve given a perfect answer, but in his hands, he can still find some small problem and negate all your efforts.
So a few people were very nervous at this point, especially Marashi who had a broken rib, and James White’s arrival immediately made the matter extremely pa*sive.
Ma Lan also vaguely heard that this man, who spoke very hard, should be the lawyer that her good son-in-law had found for her, and all of a sudden she felt that she had met her saviour and cried out in excitement, saying in a loud voice: “Help, lawyer, the police have beaten someone up and broken all my ribs!”
When the two Chinese policemen heard this, they instantly broke out in a cold sweat of nervousness.
James White had long since learnt to speak fluent Chinese in order to cater to a top Chinese family like the Fei family.
When he heard this, his expression became extremely angry and he shouted coldly, “You have injured my client, which is a serious violation of the law and police regulations, but even so, you still do not send my client to the doctor in time, instead you continue to interrogate my seriously injured client here, which is inhumane! This is inhumane! I want to check your law enforcement recorders and complain to your superiors at once!”
All the police officers in the room were in a panic.
After all, Marlane had not a*saulted a police officer, nor had she violently resisted the law. Jimmy Wayne had clearly subdued her, but he had deliberately crushed her ribs after he had subdued her, which was clearly subjective and deliberate, and no amount of washing would wash.
Jimmy Wayne was outside the door at that moment and heard James White’s loud questioning from inside and all of a sudden panicked and trembled.
There was already a serious disparity of status between the junior cop and the barrister, not to mention the fact that he himself was in the wrong.
At this point, he was at a loss as to what to do.
The division chief did not dare to make a big deal out of it at this time, and hurriedly said, “Mr. White, this lady was also injured mainly because of some friction in the law enforcement process, and our people checked her injuries and thought that there was nothing serious, and only needed to take some oral medication later ……”
James White asked in a cold voice, “Are any of you qualified to practice medicine? That includes you, Your Honour the Commissioner!”
“That ……” The Divisional Commissioner said awkwardly, “We are all police officers and are not qualified to practise medicine ……”
James White snapped, “Without qualifications to practise medicine, what makes you think my client’s injuries are not serious?! Do you all have medical CT grade eyes? What if my client has internal bleeding or a ruptured internal organ? Can you afford to take responsibility for that?
All the police officers looked at each other for a moment, not knowing how to reply.
At this point, James White continued, “Your violent law enforcement, disregard for the law and disregard for life simply refreshes my perception of the NYPD!”
With that, he turned the tables and said even more sternly, “Because my client is yellow, I am asking you to show me previous cases of how you have dealt with other suspects after encountering them with injuries, and if it turns out that you only targeted my client without taking medical treatment, then I have reason to suspect that you are suspected of racial discrimination specifically against people of colour! “
