The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 264 He's in a hurry, he's in a hurry!

Chapter 264 He's in a hurry, he's in a hurry!

in court.

The judge spoke, and the case immediately became a fact-finding case.

That is, whether Max Henson, the radio host, knew it was a lie when he told that vicious lie.

But this is not what Harvey in the suit expected.

So he stood up with a slight smile: "Your Honor, the defendant said that he didn't know that he was lying and slandering, but the fact is that he knew it. We have a recording to prove it. It was recorded without his knowledge. of."

As he spoke, he handed over a USB flash drive.

"be opposed to."

The female lawyer Emily immediately stood up and objected: "The recording was not obtained with the consent of the client, and evidence collection is illegal and cannot be used as evidence."

"Your Honor, they were recording a program at the time, and they agreed to be recorded, so this recording is legal, and the plaintiff requests disclosure."

Harvey the suit retorted.

"be opposed to!"

The female lawyer Emily glanced at Max Henson, whose expression changed slightly, and firmly expressed her opposition.

The two began to argue again.

"All right!"

The judge felt a headache when he heard it. He rubbed his head and stopped the two of them. After thinking for a while, he said, "Play the recording."

"Thank you, Your Honor."

After thanking the judge, Harvey, the man in the suit, glanced at the female lawyer Emily and Max Henson with a half-smile.

Liberal judges really like to compromise, AKA playing cotton, the ultimate master of nonsense literature.

Otherwise, Matthew in "Looking for Mom" ​​will not be called the Marshmallow Justice (doge) when he becomes a New York justice in the future.

But even a layman like Max Henson can manipulate this character, so how could a professional like him not.

Unless the judge loses all face, he will win this case!

After the court staff inserted the USB drive into the player, Harvey in a suit pressed the play button.

"Boss, what should we do now? The situation is not good."

"It's nothing bad, no matter what the facial paralysis says, they don't have evidence, and what I know is that as long as I say it, people will listen, and that's enough."

"What the boss said is that it's a pity that MAX, with such a top figure, is so suitable to be called this name. It's all because of that bastard with facial paralysis. Before he got it, his fans turned black."

"Little Willie, what's the matter, I miss my mother~"

Harvey, the man in the suit, interrupted the recording and looked around at everyone: "This is the defendant chatting privately with his partner after the latest episode of the program. At that time, the staff outside did not turn off the recording in time due to a machine failure, so it was recorded. .

'As long as I say it and someone listens, that's enough'?
Obviously, the defendant has a distorted view of the First Amendment's right to free speech, and completely ignores the lying and defamation clause!
If people like him are allowed to unscrupulously invoke the First Amendment to protect themselves, that would be a blasphemy against the Constitution! "

"be opposed to!"

The female lawyer Emily breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she didn't expose herself directly, and there was still room for change. She immediately stood up and retorted: "My client is just expressing the heartfelt feelings of a radio host. He doesn't need much, as long as there is an audience , he will continue this show, that's all."

"For example, this very tall female listener MAX?"

Harvey the suit sneered: "Are you sure he just wants her to listen?"

The onlookers smiled knowingly.

"Objection! This has nothing to do with this case!"

Female lawyer Emily becomes a ruthless opposition machine.

"You can only hope that it has nothing to do with it."

Harvey, a man in a suit, said sternly: "As far as I know, MAX, who they say is taller than your client and deserves the name MAX, is just a girl!"

The crowd who were watching and laughing suddenly stopped laughing.

Teasing a grown woman like that in public can make people laugh, but when the woman is just a girl, that's a whole other story.

Although the minor protection law in the United States is not well implemented, it is at least very strict at the legal level.

"Is the plaintiff's lawyer going to file a new lawsuit?"

The female lawyer Emily asked back.

Although she was worried, after all, from the private conversations of these guys, it can be seen that they have no respect for the law, and the highest respect for fans is to connect with them, which is really fucked up!

This girl MAX did not succeed, so what about the others?

As the classic saying goes: When there is a cockroach in the house, it can only mean one thing, there are already a bunch of them in the house.

Once this kind of thing is exposed, I'm afraid it will attract a group of 'Metoo'.

But she was not Max Henson's personal lawyer, but the corporate lawyer hired by the radio station, and her client was the radio station, not Max Henson, and now she was only in charge of the lawsuit.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Harvey, the suit man, laughed.

"Plaintiff's attorney, let's focus on this case now!"

The judge saw that it was possible to pull out the case in the case, or the kind that would have a particularly bad impact, and immediately interrupted with a headache.

"Yes, Your Honor."

Harvey, the man in the suit, glanced at the judge's face and said with a smile, "From the recording, it can be heard that the defendant and his partner knew they were lying!"

"be opposed to!"

The female lawyer Emily retorted: "As the plaintiff's lawyer said, this recording is the latest one. It was after the police rescued Jamie that my client knew that what he believed before was wrong.

That's not to say my client was lying!
It's just that my client believed what he knew in the original situation! "

"Then ask him to prove it!"

Suit Harvey said.

"be opposed to!"

The female lawyer Emily retorted blankly: "This does not comply with legal procedures and follows the principle of innocence presumption. The plaintiff needs to prove this by himself, instead of letting the defendant prove his innocence!"

"Plaintiff's lawyer, don't forget the most basic legal principles."

The judge frowned and reminded: "Do you have evidence to prove that the defendant knew in advance that his words were lies?"

"Actually, I can."

Harvey, the man in the suit, smiled and said, "Your Honor, we are requesting a new witness."

"be opposed to!"

The female lawyer Emily was surprised and immediately objected: "We have not been notified of the new witness."

"In your mouth, your client is innocent, so what new witnesses are you worried about? As long as it is true, it can't be false. Then you can refute the testimony of the new witnesses."

Harvey, the suit man, laughed.

"Your Honor."

The female lawyer Emily looked at the judge.

"What do you expect me to do? This is the plaintiff's right."

The judge shrugged helplessly at the female lawyer Emily, and then said, "The plaintiff is allowed to question new witnesses."

"Thank you."

After Harvey, the suit man, thanked him, he signaled the bailiff to call in a new witness.

Under the gaze of everyone, a young girl walked in nervously and got on the witness stand.

"Please introduce yourself."

Harvey the suit came over, calming the nervous girl with the most charming smile.

"My name is Eileen Reagan."

the girl said.

"Ms. Reagan, do you know Max Henson?"

Harvey, the man in the suit, stepped aside and pointed to Max Henson in the dock.

"Of course I do."

Eileen Regan nodded. "I listen to him a lot. It's very interesting."

"And his website."

Suits fine Harvey added.

"sometimes will."

Eileen Regan nodded.

"On his personal website, a netizen nicknamed 'Subverting the Rules' logged in 83 times. May I ask if this 'Subverting the Rules' is you?"

Harvey the suit asked.

"it's me."

Eileen Regan nodded.

"83 times is not sometimes."

Suit Harvey corrected: "Did you email Max Henson?"

"Sent a few."

Eileen Regan glanced embarrassedly at Max Henson, whose face had changed and was whispering to the female lawyer in the dock.

"Did you write in your e-mail that Shelley Willens wanted to do late-term abortions at the clinic where you work?"

Harvey, the suit man, continued to ask.

Eileen Reagan hesitated for a moment.

"Ms. Reagan, this is not a radio station, but a court. You have sworn an oath, and you will be held accountable for perjury."

Harvey in the suit took a step forward, attracting Eileen Regan's attention, and then turned sideways so that Eileen Regan's eyes could see Max Henson, the idol with a bad face in the dock.

"Yes, I sent this email."

Eileen Reagan could only tell the truth.

"Is the late-term abortion thing true?"

Harvey the Suit asks the key question.

Everyone looked over.

This late-term abortion statement was made by Max Henson and used as a basic logic to subvert the perception of "mothers love their children" in the eyes of ordinary people. It is certain that a mother who has lost her beloved daughter is actually the real murderer of her daughter. key.

If this statement is itself nonsense.

The statement that was used by Max Henson to cover up that he was not wantonly slandering others, even those jury members who wanted to help him could not justify speaking for him.

"No."

Erin Regan shook her head.

"Did Max Henson ask you to verify the truth of this statement?"

Harvey the suit asked, "Has the radio station contacted you?"

"No."

Erin Regan shook her head.

"Were you surprised when Max Henson went public with you on the radio to accuse Shelley Willans? Why?"

Harvey the suit asked.

"Because I emailed him again saying I made it up."

Erin Regan said.

The court was immediately in an uproar.

If this is true, it will really prove the most difficult to prove problem of people's determination.

"Come on!"

Max Henson in the dock stood up directly before the female lawyer Emily objected, and retorted: "Do I have to read every email in person?"

"He's in a hurry, he's in a hurry."

At the same time, a faint voice sounded from the jury box, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"It's Brilliant Chandler!"

"Bingo!"

Those who followed the whole affair immediately recognized Chandler in the corner of the jury box.

"quiet!"

The judge raised his voice: "Mr. Henson, go back to your seat, and the observer who is speaking, don't speak again, or I will expel you."

"Okay, Your Honor, I'm just here to collect stories and accumulate material."

Chandler got up and said with a smile: "I believe this trial will definitely give me a wealth of material, and then I promise not to speak again."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull the zipper.

The judge heard everyone's discussion and guessed that Chandler should also be a celebrity. After Chandler 'conceded', he let it go and said to Harvey, the plaintiff's lawyer, you continue .”

"Yes, Your Honor."

Harvey, the suit man, glanced at the female lawyer Emily, and continued to interrogate Irene Reagan: "Why do you spread rumors to slander a mother who lost her beloved daughter?"

"I, I just wanted a response from him."

Eileen Regan cries: "Be a part of his life, he's Max Henson!"

"Your Majesty, I'm done asking."

Harvey, a man in a suit, looked around the crowd and scanned the audience with a very confident gaze.

"Your Honor, we request an adjournment."

The female lawyer Emily got up and said.

"allow."

The judge agreed without thinking.

He knew that the defendant wanted to discuss the prosecution and defense deal with the plaintiff again. Facing an increasingly difficult case, he had no choice but to use his judgment and settle it privately.

The trial is over.

The female lawyer Emily came over and saw that no one was around, she smiled at Harvey, the man in a suit, and said, "My tattoo misses you."

"is it?"

Harvey, the man in the suit, smiled unmoved: "Then let her pout, and wait for a hearty victory."

The female lawyer Emily's face darkened: "Do you think you are sure to win?"

"I've never lost."

Harvey, the man in the suit, said with a smile: "Although this is not the reason why Detective Chuck came to me in the first place."

"Don't get complacent too early, no one can win forever!"

Female lawyer Emily: "300 million US dollars in compensation, plus a public apology, end this case."

"The same sentence, Detective Chuck drew the bottom line."

Harvey, a man in a suit, shook his head and said, "$500 million in compensation, plus a public apology, he won't accept compromise."

"Come on!"

The female lawyer Emily didn't believe it at all: "Everything is the result of compromise, everyone will compromise, don't tell me you don't know."

"you're right."

Harvey, the man in the suit, nodded: "This is a famous saying in our business. I also told Chuck, and he agreed."

"Then it's over, we've taken several steps back, from only being willing to apologize privately, to being willing to apologize publicly, from 50 US dollars in compensation, to 100 million, 150 million, 200 million, and now it's 300 million , this is already the limit, and it’s time for you to take a step back.”

The female lawyer Emily had a soft light effect on her face: "Harvey, I know, as long as you want, you can do it."

"Don't rush to flatter me~"

Harvey, the man in the suit, laughed and said, "Everyone is compromising. Chuck does agree with the famous saying in our industry, but there is one more thing I didn't tell you."

"What?"

The female lawyer, Emily, had a very bad complexion, and she had an ominous premonition.

"He says."

Harvey, a man in a suit, had a half-smile: "He agrees with this sentence, so he drew the bottom line."

"..."

The female lawyer Emily's face completely darkened.

She can be a lawyer or a well-known barrister, her IQ cannot be poor, and she grasped the true meaning of this sentence at once.

Translate, it means that everyone will compromise, that's right!But there's only one thing Chuck compromises on, and that's the one thing people keep compromising on him!
