Will Zhou Libo be sentenced after the ninth trial?

On the morning of May 9, New York time, Zhou Libo's drug-related and gun holding case opened for the 9th time in Nassau County District Court of New York state. Tencent Entertainment learned exclusively from Liu Longzhu law firm that Zhou Libo and his wife Hu Jie once again appeared in court together, including three lawyers and a translator defending Zhou Libo. According to the progress of the 8th hearing, the hearing is Zhou Libo's lawyer and prosecutor's debate on the 'motion to dismiss'.

Liu Longzhu law firm told Tencent Entertainment that the hearing lasted about 10 minutes, with Stephen scaring, Zhou Libo's lawyer, speaking most of the time. Scaring insisted on questioning the legality of the police's interception and search of Zhou Libo's car. He said Tang Shuang, a passenger in Zhou Libo's car, helped translate the police's English, but Tang Shuang didn't understand what the police said. If Tang Shuang does not understand the meaning of the police, Zhou Libo does not understand the intention of the police at all. In this case, Zhou Libo's "consent" at that time was not legally tenable. Now, the prosecution has not called Tang Shuang to testify in court.

Subsequently, the judge did not make any statement on these issues raised by sculin, but extended the hearing to May 24.

Zhou Libo and his wife

On the evening of May 9, Zhou Libo published a micro blog saying that "life is only uncertain, never certain", indicating that his case is logically impossible to lose.

'it's going to be a court session again! I've received a lot of calls from friends and relatives in the early morning. I'd like to thank you all for your blessing and worry about me. One of the most frequently asked questions is: do you have confidence in Bobo? The most said is: you will win! I think confidence is just a comprehensive psychological result of a person. Do you have confidence? It depends on you have There is not enough peace of mind, patience, determination and perseverance to support it. As for 'you will win'! I can only say: life is only uncertain, never certain! But I don't know this case. Apart from the result of winning, what result is logically possible? '

Case review:

Late on the night of January 18, 2017, New York police found that the driver of a black Mercedes Benz used electronic products (mobile phones) while driving and was suspected of snake driving. Later, the police stopped and searched it in Long Island, and found a pistol and two bags of cocaine in the car. Police immediately arrested the driver Zhou Libo and the copilot Tang Shuang. After the prosecution investigation, the prosecutor has decided not to initiate criminal prosecution against Tang Shuang, and the only prosecution image is Zhou Libo.

On February 22, 2018, at the 6th hearing of Zhou Libo's drug-related gun case, Zhou Libo initiated a motion to the court to question the legality of the police's act of intercepting and searching his car at that time. In a testimony sent to the court, Zhou Libo signed a statement that before being stopped by the police, he didn't hold a mobile phone or any other electronic products, and operated within the driving speed limit; after being stopped, he didn't agree to let the police search the car and any luggage on the car; he was a Chinese citizen, spoke Mandarin, didn't speak and didn't understand English.

At the 7th court session on March 23, 2018, the policeman who stopped Zhou Libo's car said that he saw Zhou Libo holding and watching electronic products (mobile phones) with his own eyes at a touchable distance. Later, the police followed the car and found that Zhou Libo was driving in a serpentine shape, and the speed jumped between 48 and 80 kilometers, which was very unstable, while the road speed limit was 64 kilometers. When checking Zhou Libo's driver's license and car registration certificate, the police saw that there was a holster in the car, so they proposed to check the car. After that, Tang Shuang, a professor from American University, helped translate. Zhou Libo and Tang Shuang both nodded their heads to allow the police to search the car. Zhou Libo also used 'yes' as a sign of permission.
