Chapter 328: The Eve of Taking Office

Three days later, the case against the news corporation was held as scheduled at the federal court in the East Area of New York.

In a last attempt to turn the tide, Murdoch's side had spent a fortune to hire America's top legal team, consisting of as many as 16 people.

But despite the elite legal team, they were rendered ineffective in the face of documents presented by Gavin, the witnesses he brought, and some turncoat criminals from the news corporation.

When the verdict was delivered, the news corporation was found guilty of multiple charges including phone hacking, insider trading, bribery, and manipulating public opinion, and the related personnel were sentenced to 5 to 8 years imprisonment.

Upon hearing the verdict, the legal team seemed to have already received certain instructions and ultimately conceded to accept the result without filing an appeal.
