The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 265 Arrogant radio host: What can you do to me?

"Really? I don't believe it!"

The female lawyer Emily sneered: "No one can do this unless he is not human!"

"In a way, that's true."

Harvey, the suit man, joked: "Of course I mean the last sentence~ If you really understand him, you will agree with this sentence more and more."

The female lawyer Emily saw that all methods were useless against this Italian comrade-in-arms, and put away her plan to continue touting the seductive generals, and walked away on high heels with a cold face.

"Emily."

Harvey's voice came from behind, and when the female lawyer Emily turned to look over, she sincerely reminded: "The best thing to do now is to accept this bottom line and close the case quickly.

Otherwise, if you procrastinate, the result will definitely not be comparable to the pain of your client losing a large sum of money, but if he is smarter, he should know that this is the most decent ending. "

"What if he's neither smart nor wants to be respectable?"

The female lawyer Emily sneered: "Do you want to help him be smart and decent?"

"You should help him be smart first and help him be decent!"

Harvey, the man in the suit, said seriously: "After all, you are his lawyer! This is your responsibility!"

The female lawyer Emily and the Italian comrade-in-arms looked at each other for a long time, seeing some of the friendship of the Italian comrade-in-arms, her face softened, she nodded and left.

How could she not know this!

It's just that she can only persuade Max Henson, but cannot make decisions for him.

Leaving the court, she came to Max Henson's mansion. She said to Max Henson, who had a bad face: "You have seen the situation in court. My suggestion is to accept their offer immediately, and then end this case, otherwise it will be very troublesome to drag it on.”

"Accept their offer?"

Max Henson raged, "That's $500 million! Not $500! Do you know what that means?"

"That means you're selling your car and your house."

The female lawyer Emily said calmly: "Although your assets are tens of millions, most of them are stock financial assets, and now they are tightly locked up, and you only have 100 million that you can use immediately.

If you want to pay the 500 million, you must sell your car or house, otherwise you have to sell those stocks at a low price. "

"You know you still say that!"

Max Henson shouted: "Now is the bottom, and it is about to rebound. You want me to sell those high-quality stocks that can increase in value several times in the future?

If not, let me sell the car and house?

Where do you want me to live?where to go

This is not selling a car or a house, you are making me sell my face!
Do I lose face? "

"With all due respect, the most sensible thing to do at this time is not to think about those things that don't matter."

The female lawyer Emily persuaded: "I don't mean to be disrespectful, but sometimes face is really not worth so much money, and you can get it back if you lose it."

"You are my lawyer! These troubles should have been solved by you, not me!"

Max Henson said angrily.

"I've tried hard enough."

The female lawyer Emily said calmly: "But first a recording was released, and then an e-mail was released, God knows what evidence against us will be released later?
How do you ask me to solve it?Like you broke the defense in court just now, just passed me and got up to refute?That will only make you look more suspicious! "

"As long as there is no solid evidence, suspicious is suspicious."

Max Henson said disdainfully: "As long as I bite to death and refuse to admit it, what can they do with me... What kind of eyes are you looking at?!"

"Bite to death and deny it?"

The female lawyer Emily put away her smart eyes and reminded: "You will receive a lot of emails from fans every day, and you won't watch every one, which is very reasonable.

But it doesn't make sense that you said you didn't check the email Erin Reagan sent you afterward that admitted it was bullshit.

Because after you directly quoted her lies and caused such a big storm, she is no longer a strange fan who doesn't care at all.

Are you telling me that you didn't check her follow-up emails?

Do you know if you have read emails and when you checked them, they all have time email stamps, right?

The plaintiff can search these emails and get solid evidence with a simple application! "

"Then I'll delete it now..."

Max Henson's eyes flashed.

"What did you say? I didn't hear it, and I'm not going to continue listening!"

The female lawyer Emily pretends to be deaf and doesn't listen to Max Henson's intention to break the law.

She is just the defendant's lawyer, and she doesn't want to be the defendant!

Once she knows Max Henson's criminal behavior, she must report it to the court, otherwise she may go to jail if something happens in the future.

"I know what to do."

Max Henson was not stupid, he immediately understood the concerns of the female lawyer, gave her a contemptuous look, then leaned back tactically, and said in a cold voice: "This will not work, and that will not work, I only hear you talking I shirk my responsibilities, and I haven’t seen any constructive opinions from you at all. Can you do it? If not, then tell me as soon as possible, and I will change lawyers. You will never think that people like me still lack lawyers Bar?"

"Of course there is!"

The female lawyer Emily said very professionally: "If you are determined not to compromise, then what we have to do now is to refute the most important evidence of the plaintiff, that Irene Reagan!

She was not yet an adult, but she worked in the guardian's family planning clinic. I knew people like them too well. They were probably juvenile offenders on probation community service.

Just digging out her story can greatly shake the authenticity of her words.

And as long as one juror wavers, choose to believe you.

Then we win! "

"very good!"

Max Henson finally showed a smile: "This is what a qualified lawyer should do. I am looking forward to slapping that so-called Detective Chuck in the face after winning this case."

"I don't recommend you do this!"

The female lawyer Emily reminded: "Even if we win this case, I still suggest that you settle with them and give them enough compensation, and you must not provoke the detective Chuck. Don't forget the recording and the sudden appearance in court today." You don’t want to be entangled in various lawsuits for the content in it, do you?”

"It doesn't matter, I'm a public figure, what I'm most afraid of is not getting involved in lawsuits, but lack of exposure!"

Max Henson said disapprovingly: "As long as it is not the kind that can pose a fatal threat to me, it will only make me stronger!"

It's just Cao Fan, it's nothing to a star like them!
The female lawyer Emily opened her mouth, but finally said nothing, and went about her own affairs.

a few days later.

The court heard the case again.

Erin Reagan sat on the witness stand again, only this time, she was cross-examined by the defendant's lawyer Emily.

Emily, a probation officer who was already unclean, collapsed immediately under the sharp questions of Emily who came prepared.

"These should be secrets, secrets..."

Eileen Reagan wailed.

The secret in her mouth refers to the fact that the US law has the Minor Privacy Protection Act, and the files of some juvenile offenders are encrypted.

But it's a pity that this kind of encrypted information is completely transparent in the eyes of people with connections.

And when the suit pointed out that Eileen Reagan's past had nothing to do with this case, and even Eileen Reagan's words were just an introduction, the real key was Max Henson's e-mail, which contained several e-mails from Eileen Reagan, Whether it was opened before Jamie was rescued is the key.

However, I heard Max Henson point out that he has the habit of cleaning out the mailbox regularly, and those emails have been cleaned up long ago.

So the court was adjourned again.

"do you know?"

Harvey, a man in a suit, looked at the female lawyer Emily with a serious face.

"what do you know?"

Emily, the female lawyer, was noncommittal.

"Destroying evidence is a felony!"

Harvey, a man in a suit, looked into the eyes of his Italian comrades-in-arms: "Not reporting what you know is also a crime! I don't want to go to prison to see you."

"I do not know what you're talking about!"

The female lawyer Emily said indifferently: "Now the situation is obvious. If you accept 200 million yuan in compensation and a public apology, the case will be over."

"It's 200 million now?"

Harvey, the suit man, laughed.

"Two million is high enough, otherwise it is very likely that you will not get anything!"

Emily, the female lawyer, took a much tougher attitude.

If she doesn't take the initiative to show her performance, she will be judged as incompetent, which is not acceptable to her.

All the emails have been deleted. It is impossible to prove whether Max Henson checked it, and when did he check it. The most important evidence is gone.

The most important witness, Eileen Reagan, was also overwhelmed by her, which was enough to sway some jurors.

They, who had been passive before, finally had a certain advantage.

She also has a strong confidence.

"You want to bet, don't you?"

Harvey, the man in the suit, smiled and said, "Then come on, I bet you will lose!"

"I don't see it that way."

The female lawyer Emily smiled ambiguously: "I have always won between us!"

"Win by mouth?"

Harvey, the man in the suit, fought back not to be outdone.

The two chattered for a while, then went back to prepare.

After going to court again.

Finally came the final confrontation.

Both the plaintiff's and the defendant's lawyers tried to use their final closing arguments to impress the jury members into a verdict in their favor.

Emily, a female lawyer, held on to the right to freedom of speech and the fact that Eileen Reagan's words were not credible, and made a generous statement.

It was Harvey's turn, and he applied to play the alarm recording in public.

"be opposed to!"

The female lawyer Emily immediately stood up and objected: "The plaintiff's lawyer is trying to incite the jury members, and the jury members need a rational judgment."

"If playing the evidence can be incitement, then it means that you also know what you have done!"

Harvey the Suit retorted: "Either you're confessing yourself, or are you questioning the fact that the jury members are cognitively challenged, lacking even basic self-control?"

"be opposed to!"

The female lawyer Emily retorted: "We just want a fair judgment."

"All right!"

The judge began to have a headache and rest his forehead again. After thinking about it, he smiled slightly and had an idea.

Judge Cotton Candy, who is good at Tai Chi, began to compromise again.

So there was an extremely ridiculous scene in the court.

The staff member held a piece of paper, and in front of the jury members, mechanically recited what Shelley had said when she called the police in an emotional voice: "My God, don't, don't, my child is gone, God Oh God, please help me..."

The most important thing is that this staff member is still a bald man!

This kind of contrast directly offsets the desperate help of a mother who found her daughter was abducted in the original alarm recording, and even had a counterproductive effect, making people feel a little ridiculous.

Harvey, a man in a suit, was also shown off by the judge. When the bald man finished his emotional reading, he had no choice but to start his closing statement, and then handed over the final verdict to the jury members.

They left the court and waited outside.

"Accept the agreement now, there is still time!"

The female lawyer Emily came over and smiled.

"Do you think you won by playing tricks?"

Harvey, the man in the suit, laughed and said, "As long as you don't directly bribe the jurors, then justice will be at your fingertips.

And if you really do such a stupid thing, then I will advise my client to compromise the compensation amount to 1000 million!
Because compared with sitting in prison, 1000 million US dollars is really not much! "

"We won't do that, and we don't need to!"

The female lawyer Emily smiled and said: "I don't believe all of the 12 jurors are facing you. There will always be a few people who will understand that the foundation of our country is based on the First Amendment to the Constitution, and there is no freedom of speech. Nazis what? We are Nazis ourselves!"

"If lying, cheating, and stealing are our freedom of speech, then we are indeed Nazis already!"

Harvey in the suit shrugged: "Let the jury members selected by the people decide what we are!"

"Wait and see."

Female lawyer Emily is full of confidence.

She felt that as long as the banner of freedom of speech was held high and the Nazis frightened, there would always be jury members who would ignore what Max Henson's actions meant to an otherwise happy family for the sake of the overall situation.

A mountain of the times is a big mountain falling on everyone's head.

But so!

The verdict came out sooner than they expected.

When everyone gathered in the court again, the head of the jury handed over the verdict to the judge through the court staff, and was standing there waiting for the judge to speak for him to announce the verdict, but when the judge saw the verdict, his expression changed. Changed, and reached out to him to signal to stop talking for the time being.

"Ah oh."

Harvey, the man in a suit, immediately sensed that something was wrong.

But I saw the judge sitting on the stage, bowed his head to think for a while, and then looked up at everyone: "I just got the verdict, and I found myself facing a difficult decision.

As much as I think the defendant's actions were abhorrent and cold-blooded, the First Amendment is the bedrock of our society.

Without it, all other rights are at stake!

In addition, I think the jury's verdict in this case was based on personal emotion, not rational judgment.

Mr Henson receives thousands of emails every day and cannot confirm whether he has seen that one.

Since it cannot be confirmed, I cannot allow the jury in my court to deviate from the First Amendment.

I therefore declare in favor of the defendant! "
