Chapter 44 Section 17

Mickey Cohen said, still to Angie Ondwoll: "It is no longer possible for Johnny to defend himself, but these few Lana's own channels reveal the truth." Right off the bat, a British journalist recalled interviewing Lana Turner during the filming of The Last Dream.Lana was not as cautious as she told the police, avoiding suspicion everywhere, but generously took Jonny to the appointment. "They looked like a couple in love... Lana responded to my question by saying, 'I'm not planning on getting married yet, but I need someone to be there for me all the time... As far as that goes, I'm Is it different from other women?'”

A reporter from a Los Angeles newspaper found that after Johnny returned to the United States from London, Lana asked a friend to monitor Johnny for her.The friend reported to Lana that Johnny "had a few visitors, all of them men." More important to the police was another discovery by the reporters.According to investigations, in mid-January 1958, Johnny asked Lana to allow him to reunite in London on the phone. Lana said no, but agreed to meet him at Copenhagen Airport in Denmark, and then went to Acapu, Mexico on the same plane. Beach.Shortly after the call, Lana sent Jonny the plane ticket.

The investigators brought this clue to visit Lana Turner again, and Lana changed her words: "It is true that I want him to go to Copenhagen, and it is true that I bought the ticket, but I quickly changed my mind and gave it to him immediately." Sent a letter, late, he didn't receive it. That letter was then forwarded to Mexico." Ordinarily, this paragraph should not have much to do with the facts of the case.The police may be trying to figure out how much truth there is in Lana Turner's confession. At this point in the matter, people have just realized Jerry Gessler's shrewdness and deliberations as a court veteran.The police were still investigating the case seriously, and Jerry had already used his influence and connections to urge the court to start the trial.

On Monday, April 7, at 9 a.m., Cheryl's bail hearing was held in the Juvenile Court before Judge Donald O'Dell. In just two days, the number of lawyers for the defense increased to four.Jerry Gessler was the first to speak. He meant, of course, that Lana Turner should pay a considerable amount of bail to the relevant government departments to let the "suspect" Cheryl Carran go home to await trial. Chief public prosecutor William Michelson immediately retorted, saying, first, before the case is clarified, the defendant should not irresponsibly use the word "suspect" against Cheryl Karan. "We are still unable to determine who is the perpetrator, or who is the suspect. The current identity of Xue Luoer Karan is only a 'key witness' present at the time of the crime... You should have noticed that we even No application was made to the court for an arrest warrant."

Second, "We do not agree to release Xue Luoer Karan on bail pending trial."Since Lana Turner firmly insisted that Cheryl killed Jonny Stepanato, and since Lana Turner was worried that the Mafia would take revenge on Jonny's death and asked for police protection, as we all know, the last An effective means of "protection" should be to keep her in a juvenile detention center under 24-hour police surveillance. Furthermore, the reporters would not let the little girl go. In fact, William Michelson’s rebuttal had another meaning behind it. The police and the public prosecutor suspected that Lana was exerting pressure on Cherol, so the mother and daughter, who were also the only two possible on-site perpetrators in this case, must be isolated.

To the defense's surprise, Judge Donald O'Dell announced before the adjournment that the prosecution's motion to grant Cheryl Karan no bail. Next, to the surprise of almost everyone (I don't know if that included Jerry Gessler), the judge ordered a "forensic hearing with a jury to determine whether there was criminal activity in this case."In other words, although the death of Joni Stepanato was caused by "violence", it does not necessarily have a "criminal" nature. txt e-book sharing platform
