Don Henley has learned the hard way that when it comes to legal proceedings, a judge can check out any time they like.
唐·亨利吸取了惨痛的教训,当涉及到法律诉讼时,法官可以随时检查。

On Wednesday, a lawyer for the Eagles co-founder expressed dismay as the criminal case against rare-books dealer Glenn Horowitz imploded following the disclosure of 6,000 pages of material by Henley's legal team. Henley has vowed to continue fighting for restitution over what he says is stolen property, in the form of dozens of pages of handwritten lyrics.
周三,在亨利的法律团队披露了6000页的材料后,针对珍本经销商格伦·霍洛维茨的刑事案件破裂,这位老鹰乐队联合创始人的一名律师对此表示失望。亨利发誓要继续为他所说的被盗财产而战,以数十页手写歌词的形式。

"The attorney-client privilege is a foundational guardrail in our justice system, and rarely, if ever, should you have to forsake it to prosecute or defend a case," Henley's newly hired attorney Dan Petrocelli said in a statement provided to EW. "As the victim in this case, Mr. Henley has once again been victimized by this unjust outcome. He will pursue all his rights in the civil courts."
亨利新聘请的律师Dan Petrocelli在向EW提供的一份声明中说:“律师-当事人特权是我们司法系统的基本保障,你很少,如果有的话,必须放弃它来起诉或辩护一个案件。”“作为这起案件的受害者,亨利先生再次成为这种不公正结果的受害者。他将在民事法庭上追求他的所有权利。”

Justice Curtis Farber of New York State Supreme Court granted a dismissal request by the Manhattan district attorney's office upon the "jarringly late" disclosure, contending that Henley, his agent, and his legal team had acted "to obfuscate and hide information that they believed would be damaging to their position that the lyric sheets were stolen," according to the New York Times.
据《纽约时报》报道,纽约州最高法院法官柯蒂斯·法伯批准了曼哈顿地区检察官办公室就“迟得令人震惊”的披露提出的驳回请求,称亨利的经纪人及其法律团队的行为“混淆和隐瞒了他们认为会损害他们地位的信息,即歌词被偷了”。

The trial, which had been underway for two weeks and featured numerous days of testimony from Henley, centered on approximately 100 pages of draft lyrics for some of the hit songs he helped write for his beloved 1970s rock group, including "Hotel California," "New Kid in Town," and "Life in the Fast Lane."
审判已经进行了两周,亨利的证词持续了许多天,主要集中在大约100页的歌词草稿上,这些歌词是他帮助他心爱的70年代摇滚乐队创作的一些热门歌曲,包括“加州酒店”,“镇上的新孩子”和“快车道生活”。

Prosecutors said that the drafts were stolen by author Ed Sanders, who had signed a contract to write a book about the Eagles in the late '70s that was never published. Sanders, who has not been charged, sold the documents to Horowitz in 2005, per the DA's office, and Horowitz subsequently sold them to Craig Inciardi and Edward Kosinski, who were also defendants in the trial.
检察官表示,这些草稿是作家埃德·桑德斯窃取的,他在70年代末签署了一份合同,要写一本关于老鹰队的书,但从未出版。据地方检察官办公室称,尚未被指控的桑德斯在2005年将这些文件卖给了霍洛维茨,霍洛维茨随后将这些文件卖给了同样是审判被告的克雷格·因恰尔迪和爱德华·科辛斯基。

When Horowitz, Inciardi, and Kosinski were first charged, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg Jr. alleged in a news release that they "attempted to sell the manuscripts, manufactured false provenance, and lied to auction houses, potential buyers, and law enforcement about the origin of the material" despite knowing that the papers, collectively valued at more than $1 million, were stolen.
当霍洛维茨、因卡迪和科辛斯基第一次受到指控时,曼哈顿地区检察官小阿尔文·l·布拉格在一份新闻稿中声称,他们“试图出售手稿,伪造出处,并就材料的来源向拍卖行、潜在买家和执法部门撒谎”,尽管他们知道这些总价值超过100万美元的文件被盗。

How the documents ended up on the open market remains a question. Henley testified that he allowed Sanders access to documents but never gave up his ownership, and prosecutors argued that theft occurred when Sanders neglected to return the materials in a timely manner. The defense argued that their clients could not be found guilty because no theft had taken place.
这些文件最终如何出现在公开市场上仍是个问题。亨利作证说,他允许桑德斯查看文件,但从未放弃自己的所有权。检察官认为,桑德斯没有及时归还这些材料,就发生了盗窃。辩方辩称,他们的客户不能被判有罪,因为没有发生盗窃。

Henley had already purchased the "Hotel California" drafts for $8,500 before he filed the suit. When further lyric pages were placed up for auction, Henley turned to the DA's office, which seized more than 100 additional pages from the auction house and Kosinski's home.
在提起诉讼之前,亨利已经以8500美元的价格购买了“加州旅馆”的汇票。当更多的歌词页被拍卖时,亨利求助于地方检察官办公室,后者从拍卖行和科辛斯基的家中又查获了100多页。
