It is man who must prove the guilt of Dominique Strauss-Kahn. Whoever in an adversarial legal system is commissioned to find the evidence against the Americans call it the "DA" for "District Attorney". That translates as "prosecutor" in French. This man, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., 56, will have to manage the case of his career, say observers, like MePierre Hourcade, counsel to the bars of Paris, New York and California, promised to "fight to the death between him and the lawyers defense.
DSK formally charged since Thursday, May 19, the attorney will work closely with the lawyers of the complainant and possibly negotiate with the defense to achieve a "plea bargain", that is to say, a minimization of the charges and the penalty to avoid a trial. If the prosecutor and defense fail a "deal", the former director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will be held on trial before a jury.
This is Cyrus Vance Jr. "which will explain the charges and will spend several days to demolish Dominique Strauss-Kahn before a popular jury," Mr. Hourcade. "Cy", as lesurnomment the press and his close associates is the son of Cyrus Vance, former secretary of state under Jimmy Carter. The weight of this relationship precludes the Foreign and pushes to the right, developed the New York Times.
An essential element in his understanding of the case DSK, the son knows the workings of the defense: he himself worked as a lawyer in Seattle before becoming a prosecutor. "It also has this view then. It was not an attorney of his life," stresses Richard Albert, a lawyer at Morvillo, Abramowitz, Grand, Isaon, Anello and Bohrer in New York, where Cyrus Vance Jr.
himself had exercised. "Cy" Richard explains to Albert's ambitions to become a prosecutor in New York and showed his desire to "do justice to the community." Equipped with a solid reputation as a lawyer determined, serious, honest, Cyrus Vance Junior is described by Robert S. Bennett, renowned lawyer and former counsel to Bill Clinton, a man commme "impeccable integrity".
Same praise from a former colleague, Ronald Fischetti, a lawyer from New York evokes a man "devoted" to his work. Too devoted, "too hard" critique of the defense lawyers quoted anonymously in an article in the Daily News, more cases would go to trial without reaching a negotiated since Cyrus Vance Jr.
is an attorney. "We can perhaps say that it is hard, but not a diehard," tempers Ronald Fischetti. Its legitimacy, Cyrus Vance Jr. is also the position obtained by election: New York Attorney is elected every four years, under a political label. Cyrus Vance Jr. easily won the Democratic primary before being elected to 91% as attorney in November 2009.
There is unanimity in the New York media and supported by his predecessor, Robert Morgenthau, who served for thirty-four. In his new position, Cyrus Vance Jr. intends to fight "white collar crime" and establish a "local justice", with special units working closely with police and local organizations.
"This is a pure product of what the U.S. is the best in the District Attorney," summarizes Mr. Hourcade: graduate of the prestigious Yale University and then law school at Georgetown, he worked for First, the office of Attorney Robert Morgenthau before leaving the east coast to Seattle in 1988.
A decision dictated by the need to "escape the shadow of the father," The New York Times analysis. He will not return until 2004. In Seattle, he will defend 29,000 Boeing workers against their employers for discrimination against women. His victory at trial and the case of a woman killed by her ex-fiance learned during his years in the prosecutor's office in New York earned him a reputation as a lawyer, "sensitive to the feminist cause." So "probably the biggest issue" of his career that will teach Cyrus Vance Jr., said Robert S.
Bennett. It is above all "a unique opportunity to make a name," said Mr. Hourcade. If the prosecutor's role is primarily legal, in fact he held political office. This folder will have "consequences for future elections," Drai MeStéphane analysis: "It would be a lie to say that it is a case like the others," said the lawyer to the bars of Paris, Lyons, New York and the Supreme Court of the United States.
In a case where the "political gain is phenomenal," it complicates the defense of Dominique Strauss-Kahn, for his part Mr. J. Arthur Dethomas, counsel to the bars of Paris and New York Attorney "does not look particularly so [ elements] discharge. " The importance of this issue could also harden the negotiations with the defense: "The prosecutor has everything to gain from that there are no negotiations, that would show weakness on his part.
His whole rationale is to pursue vigorously DSK and see it condemned in a few months, "said Mr. Hourcade. Oriented methods of former prosecutors played favorably for their election to political office, said Dethomas Me: "Rudolph Giuliani was elected mayor of New York after he made famous as an Assistant District Attorney in New York in organized crime cases.
" Incomparable, says Ronald Fischetti: "Giuliani did everything to gain in popularity. [Cyrus Vance Jr.] has no political agenda is not what kind of person. "The District Attorney is also described as a rather quiet man:" This is not someone who seeks to be the media "analysis Robert S.
Bennett. His former colleague, Richard Albert insists:" [Cyrus Vance Jr.] is a-political ", insisting" a ". Given the massive media coverage of the case, lawyers U.S. relativize the importance of the case: one count of attempted rape, "it's not that complicated," said Ronald Fischetti. In an office where about 500 people working for the prosecutor, it is likely that this is not him that pursues the case "personally", even if the expected "supervise", he predicted.
If, Robert S. Bennett, Cyrus Vance Jr. "did not want to lose this case," he does continue, however, whether evidence is not sufficient. The prosecutor is in fact required to present exculpatory evidence encountered during the investigation. If Cyrus Vance Jr. omits elements that could exonerate the accused, the trial could be canceled on procedural .
