Chapter 108 How to seize the language loopholes of the judge?(1/2)

Now there is only one way to the Federal District Court of New York. (Note that this is a federal court located in the "New York Area".)

Sirily also arrived from New Haven.

She completed the tasks assigned by Edward before very well. All the laws and precedents were copied and compiled into books for reference at any time.

On the one hand, she sent the information to Edward, and on the other hand, Ruthberg meant that she would temporarily become Edward's assistant.

When a serious lawyer goes out to discuss things, he always has to have an assistant around him, which makes him look stylish. In fact, this is not vain. This style often makes negotiations easier.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Edward and Sirily walked into the Federal District Court of New York in a career suit.

The main court building, located at 60 Central Avenue, was opened only in 1927.

"Real justice is the most determined pillar of good governance." Edward recited the inscription in front of the court building, his mouth tilted.

"This sentence comes from a letter from George Washington to the Attorney General in 1789," he shrugged. "But in this case, I think this is simply black humor."

"How can they do this!" Cyreri looked very angry.

"You seem to be a little emotionally volatile?" Edward reminded, "Be careful of restraint, we still have serious things to do later."

"I understand, but you know, as a Democrat who has transformed from the Republican 'Gottwald Girl', I feel really ashamed of them, in the true sense."

"Okay," Edward shook his head, "Let's go to the hall to sit for a while, you can adjust your breathing."

At about nine o'clock, the two of them entered the court and submitted the application for suspending execution and the request for habeas protection order to issue a habeas umbrella to the documentary.

The situation has begun to worsen in the past few days. Unidentified people have already wandered around Bergman's office and residence. If this continues, it is likely to cause greater violence. Even Bergman may die in a bad life. Habitat protection orders are necessary, which is also something that lawyers must consider for the client.

One hour later, the application process within the court was completed and the lawyer and judge were in the face-to-face talks.

There is always a judge in the federal court responsible for hearing urgent requests, and today it is Judge Robert Ward.

In fact, the conversation was also a small trial.

Edward and Sirily walked into the court, when Judge Ward was hearing a complex economic case.

At this time, the defense lawyer was making a very technical motion.

But Judge Robert Ward seemed a little absent-minded about it.

After seeing Edward come in, he quickly announced a temporary recess.

This is also the court's rule. Judges responsible for handling emergency needs cannot waste time in vain. They are also responsible for the case trial. They are just allowed to handle emergency situations at any time during the trial.

"Hello, Mr. Edward Yang, I have heard of your name for a long time and have seen your wonderful performance in court." Judge Robert Ward had no airs at all and actually came forward to him.

This made Edward feel quite good. He glanced around him quietly. Xilairi looked as usual, but his eyes looked at Edward, and he also revealed reverence and envy. There were not many young people who could make federal judges welcome him enthusiastically, especially a student who had not graduated.

"It's great to meet you, Judge Ward, this is my assistant Miss Cyrery."

After a few greetings, Judge Ward said in a brisk tone: "My court will always open the door to urgent requests. This is the enthusiasm that judicial personnel must have. What urgent cases do you need to deal with?"

"Bergman v. United States of Militaria!" Edward said word by word, and began to make his own demands such as a temporary jail term, such as habeas orders, etc.

"Bergman?" Judge Ward's voice suddenly grew. "Are you talking about Bernard Bergman?"

"It's him! Bernard Bergman" Edward responded.

Judge Ward changed his face instantly. A second ago, the spring breeze was still everywhere. At this moment, the dark clouds on his face were sealed, as if lightning was about to be thunder and lightning.

His breathing became thicker and his pupils dilated. Edward understood that this was an acting person. The other party wanted to show his anger as if the boiling magma was about to break through the thin rock shell and spray it into the sky.

But in his eyes, this guy seemed to have eaten something but couldn't find the toilet.

In short, it is also spraying things out, but it gives people a completely different feeling.

The former is awe-inspiring, while the latter is awe-inspiring, or to be precise, it is creepy.

"That guy should have been put in jail long ago. He should have been in jail for a long time. He should have stayed in jail for the rest of his life! What are you doing now? This is the judgment of the Supreme Court of New York State, the decision of the state judicial system. How can you use this case to interrupt the normal litigation process in the federal court?"

"The case I'm hearing now is very important! Lawyers from all over the country are here, and officials from the Ministry of Justice are listening!"

Edward said, "Judge Ward is in an emergency now. In about 24 hours, Bergman will be taken to prison. At the same time, unidentified people appear many times near his residence. According to the law, this is an emergency."

"If you want to go to jail, let him go!" Judge Ward interrupted Edward rudely. "I will consider his request when the case at hand is over in a few days."

"But, Your Excellency of the Judge" Edward said anxiously, "there are major, very important constitutional issues involved. If the defendant actually starts serving his sentence, then these issues will not exist again, so we must ask the court to suspend the execution of the previous judgment."

Judge Ward seemed indifferent. "My court will not give special consideration to such people. Most of the defendants who requested a life protection order under the court were brought in prison, and Bergman should do the same."

After a pause, he continued to add, "I don't have any sympathy for this person!"

Silari's face turned pale. The middle-class lady had never experienced such a scene. She was obviously the court that should be justified, but the judge spoke in a tone that was almost tantrum. This contrast was enough to make the layman stunned.

The court was originally a solemn venue. When a judge in black robe stood in front of him, his hair was wide open and his expression was angry, many people would be unable to speak, or they would soften their voices as soon as they opened their mouths, without caring about whether the former was right, whether the cited laws were reasonable, or even whether the anger was performed or a true outbreak.

But this move is completely useless to Edward. He was thinking about whether Judge Ward was a trialist or a methodist?

Regardless of the fact that Celeri quietly pulled his clothes, he took a step forward and looked straight into Judge Ward's eyes. After a moment of silence, the corners of his mouth viciously raised.

Judge Ward made a mistake!

For a lawyer, uh, no, a good lawyer (not yet certified), this is the best offensive opportunity.

As he said after drunk that day, rather than passively defending, it is better to stand at the height of the Constitution to launch a fierce attack on the court and the judge.

"We are not here for sympathy!" Edward's voice was higher than Judge Ward!

When the latter heard this, his face changed, "I'm not..."

"Please do not interrupt me, Your Excellency, Honorable Judge. I repeat that we are not here for sympathy, nor are we asking the court for special consideration!"

Edward was taller than Judge Ward, and the distance between the two was less than a foot. Edward looked down at the other party. "The problem is that he did not treat Bergman in the usual way."

"The prosecutor deliberately violated his promise in the out-of-court agreement in this case, but the New York Supreme Court did not even dare to touch on this issue. They did not even dare to make a written conclusion!"

"This case presents a major challenge to the federal judiciary. Can the federal judiciary resist the random fabrication of the news media and the wanton pressure from unscrupulous politicians!"

"It can be reflected in this case! All the people in Mi are watching all this!"

"I believe this court will have a wise trial on this!"

Judge Ward complained, "No sympathy" was indeed a supplement. He originally wanted to show his unyielding moral momentum, but his opponent caught him.

Of course, the judge should be a ruthless legal machine, at least the basis for the trial can only be cold laws, not human emotions.

This was a big taboo just now.

Moreover, if Edward exerted it appropriately, it can be concluded that Judge Ward's preconceived views on Bergman's existence. It is this stereotype that leads to his lack of due professional qualities.

Judge Ward also watched the appeal trial of Sheldon's case and had heard of Edward's "ability". For a while, sweat began to fall on his forehead. Especially when he thought of this kid's ability to make trouble in the media, Judge Ward felt that his blood pressure had exceeded the cordon.

But after all, he is a veteran judicial world.

He quickly adjusted his emotions: "Mr. Edward, I promise you whether my sympathy for Mr. Bergman will not affect my ruling. Please believe in the professional ethics of an old judge. The result of the trial will be determined by the substantive content of the case."

"I personally appreciate the issues you raised in this case just now. Please explain your point of view carefully."

Just as Edward was about to speak, Judge Ward reached out to stop him and said, "Wait, this is an emergency. I will now ask the court assistant to summon a case handler from the Special Prosecutor's Office to facilitate inquiries. This will save a lot of time."

Edward was very grateful to Judge Ward for his flexibility and mobility, and expressed his admiration for his legal knowledge, professional ethics and character for a long time. After meeting today, I found that he was indeed a good judge worthy of respect.

So both parties came to Judge Ward's locker room, and Edward explained in detail a series of laws caused by Hines's breaking promise and fattening.

Strictly speaking, this is indeed very serious.

Once Bergman continues to be sentenced to jail, it means that prosecutors can unilaterally fail to comply with out-of-court agreements, which will be obvious to the judicial system.

In order to strengthen persuasion, Edward also compared Santo and Hines in the Sheldon case, and concluded that if the law enforcement officer could lie arbitrarily to deceive the defendant's "cooperation".

Then, it will inevitably lead to "friendly people, inexplicably surprised that if this continues, the country will become a country..."

He first said these thirteen words in Chinese and then translated them into English.

He didn't say the source, but obviously Judge Ward was frightened.

“Abraham Lincoln said, ‘We want the law to be the political belief in this country.’ I see it all in you.” Edward finally concluded.

Judge Ward obviously enjoyed this, saying that he would ask the case handlers sent by the Special Prosecutor's Office with a "extremely serious attitude" to fully understand the entire case.

Edward expressed warm support for this.

After a while, a young man named Arthur Weinstein was introduced to the locker room, an employee of the Special Attorney's Office.

Judge Ward began to ask him about the contents of the statement made by Special Prosecutor Mr. Hines at the press conference four months ago when Judge Frankel made his judgment against Bergman;

Judge Ward: "I remember that prosecutor Mr. Hines made some particularly fierce remarks."

Arthur Weinstein: "He is just expressing his dissatisfaction with the sanction of being too light, Your Excellency."

Judge Ward: "Did these remarks be made in the news media before the State Court-New York Superior Court sentencing?"

Arthur Weinstein: "Yes"

Judge Ward: "Are you going to defend this or give an explanation?"

Arthur Weinstein: “The document in this case does not contain any written records of the questions you are asking.”

Judge Ward: "Very good, then we will take the exam now. The purpose of the judicial process is for these."

Arthur Weinstein: "My Excellency Judge, I will do my best to remember. But I do not have the newspaper that Mr. Hines declared."

Xilairi silently handed over a newspaper from that day.
