According to media reports, the Nassau County District Court in New York State announced at the 11th trial that Zhou Libo was fined $150 for traffic violations. Prosecutors dropped charges on four other counts and made no mention of guns or drugs in court. Zhou Libo was acquitted after charges in gun and drug-related cases were dropped.
Zhou Libo finally walked out of the court with a smile. In an interview with the media, he expressed satisfaction with the result and would not appeal.
▲Zhou Libo took a photo with his lawyer outside the court after winning the case. According to Xinhuanet.
From the initial "maximum sentence of 41 years in prison" to the final dismissal of the case, this case has been confusing for 16 months.
Many lawyers said that Zhou Libo changed three lawyers, and the lawyers played a key role in winning the case. It was even revealed on the Internet that Zhou Libo spent sky-high legal fees for this, amounting to tens of millions of yuan...
Is this really the case? Who are Zhou Libo's three lawyers? How much do U.S. lawyers charge? Red Star News reporters contacted and interviewed Mr. Liu Longzhu, a well-known American lawyer, and tried to get in touch with Zhou Libo’s three lawyers.
The lawyer won the case using a basic technique.
The reason for winning the lawsuit was that "the goalkeeper has no defense"
It is understood that after Zhou Libo won the lawsuit, a paragraph began to circulate on the Internet, describing the different roles played by the three lawyers replaced by Zhou Libo :
First lawyer Mo Hu: It may be a felony.
Daniel, second attorney: You can plead guilty to a misdemeanor.
