Chapter 215: Sentencing You to Ten Thousand Years_2
Before the trial even began, everyone could predict that Rodrigozki's sentence would be severe, but unexpectedly, he was sentenced to ten thousand years in prison.
You must know, in the 246 years since the founding of America, only three individuals have received sentences exceeding ten thousand years.
One of them was the main perpetrator of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, which resulted in the death of 168 people and injuries to more than 500.
Another was a serial killer named Bobby Lang from Florida in the '90s, who was convicted for raping and brutally murdering over 50 women.
The last was a man from Oklahoma State named Dalon, who in 1993 caused harm to dozens of children, leaving an extremely detrimental impact before he was finally sentenced to ten thousand years.
Each of these individuals could be described as utterly malevolent, yet now Rodrigozki had become the next person after them to be sentenced to ten thousand years, a verdict shocking and horrifying to all present at the scene.
In the defendant's chair, despite being prepared, Rodrigozki still sat dumbfounded for a long time after hearing his ten-thousand-year sentence.
For him, it felt as though he knew he was going to die, but thought death would come in the form of hanging or beheading, only to hear he would be drawn and quartered instead, an unimaginable shock to his body and soul.
It wasn't until Nisenbaki walked up behind him, grabbing his arms, that he snapped back to reality and turned to shout at David sitting below: "David, you're going to rot in hell!"
He knew very well that although the sentence was read by Nicola, such a merciless punishment had to have been David's doing.
Upon hearing this, Nisen became furious. Still so bold even when facing death?
And in their IRS's courtroom, no less!
He immediately punched Rodrigozki in the ribs, the pain silencing the man who was then dragged out like a dead dog.
"This court session is adjourned!"
Following Nicola's announcement, the grandees who had come to observe stood up one by one, stealing apprehensive glances at David before orderly departing.
Felton, as well as IRS staff from various districts, still routinely stepped forward to congratulate David on the successful trial.
David responded to each one before exiting the courtroom, escorted by armed guards through the main entrance of the city police station.
Upon seeing him emerge, the voraciously waiting media swarmed over with microphones in hand.
"Director David, can you tell us the result of Rodrigozki's trial?"
"Director David, how many years was Rodrigozki sentenced to?"
"Director David..."
Addressing the media's questions, David gestured with his hands to quiet them, then spoke, "The trial is over, and as for Rodrigozki, due to multiple charges including tax evasion, fleeing, and inciting murder, among others, he has been sentenced to ten thousand years of prison!"
"What!"
Just like those in the audience before them, the gathered media stood agape upon hearing this.
"My god, sentenced to ten thousand years?"
"Rodrigozki dared to offer bounties for assassinating IRS agents; that's crossing a serious line. It's only natural for the IRS to relentlessly come after him."
"A ten-thousand-year sentence is certainly shocking, but strictly speaking, it's not too surprising. I'm still curious about the prior question, how exactly did Director David capture Rodrigozki from Bear Country?"
After hearing about Rodrigozki's ten-thousand-year sentence, the citizens and netizens of Los Angeles were also profoundly shocked.
In Hollywood, the staff of various film companies felt as if they had plummeted into an ice cellar.
Before this, everyone thought David was finished, but who could have imagined such an outrageous turn of events, where Rodrigozki, clearly in Bear Country, was forcibly taken back to America to face a cruel ten-thousand-year punishment.
Now, having seized prestige through this event, David would undoubtedly make it difficult for them to enjoy good fortune again.
Of course, Hollywood involved too much capital to go down without a fight, and representatives led by the major film studios promptly congregated for an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.
In the Western Suburbs, at a bar named 'Latin People.'"
"Joey, seeing Rodrigozki end up like this, I think we should just pay our taxes honestly."
"Yeah, if David can bring back Rodrigozki from Bear Country, taking us down would be no different than killing a chicken. Let's just pay up to avoid disaster."
"Wealth is external; the example of the Rodrigozki Group is right before our eyes. We must be cautious..."
This was a criminal organization in the Western Suburbs, comprised of Latin People, and upon witnessing Rodrigozki's fate, the core members of this gang were unable to sit still.
The man referred to as Joey had a sullen look, with his triangular eyes darker than ever.
Just then, a panicked underling rushed in, exclaiming, "Boss, the Western Suburb Branch just sent word, demanding all illicit gangs and organizations in the Western Suburbs pay their taxes within five days, or else they will be penalized in the same manner as the Rodrigozki Group!"
