Ruth Berger set the defense direction and path, and the specific action was taken by Edward. The latter originally wanted to learn the skills of the court debate from his dear teacher to show her unparalleled wisdom and professional skills, but the dear teacher obviously saw through his tricks and said in one sentence, "Except Solomon, other judicial clowns are wasting my precious time."

Then he looked at him with a smile, "Ed, are you willing to help me? I'm not saying that your time is not precious enough, on the contrary, time is a diamond for everyone. However, I need you to stand up and save me from being disgusted by that clown."

The big amber eyes were blinking, the long eyelashes were shaking, the bright red lips rose slightly, and the white and slender fingers were playing with the hair hanging down to the cheeks; the brown-red hair color and her bright red nail polish complemented each other, forming a graceful pattern...

Edward sighed, what else can he say besides accepting his fate?

In fact, he was quite excited about the lawsuit.

Because he can get a rare opportunity to cross-examination, the target is... Prosecutor Hines and Judge Leyard, who will attend the hearing as witnesses and accept Edward's questioning.

To be honest, this feels quite good.

Edward felt a little bit of treatment for the protagonist for the first time in time traveling.

Because of the mentality of Hines and Lead's first rat, they want to take advantage of the situation but are afraid of causing trouble, although their behavior seems reasonable and legal, in the eyes of legal experts like Ruthberg, they cannot be said to be all loopholes, but at least many attack points can be found.

After the drill, Edward was quite confident in his first official appearance in court.

...

On October 2, the trial began again.

The first one to play was Special Attorney Charles Hines. After some nutritious nonsense, Edward began to quietly get to the point.

After Judge Frankel of the Federal Junior Court announced the sentence of Bergman to four months in prison, Charles Hines immediately held a press conference where he was indignant and aggressive in attacking the verdict, which seemed aggrieved and tough.

Then, the speech was published in the New York Times word for word.

As Bergman's lawyers, Ruth Berg and Edward studied this article for a long time.

This speech seemed to be improvised, filled with a lot of spoken language and non-standard ways of making sentences. It gave people the feeling that Hines was in a hurry on the way from the state federal court to his office.

But Edward's keenness and Ruthberg's experience still made them feel that this speech was a bit inconsistent.

The two discussed for a long time, but still couldn't find enough evidence between the lines. When they were worried, Edward had an idea and pointed out the problem - this speech did not mention the specific sentence throughout the speech, and just said that the verdict was unfair.

This is a contradiction.

It is because of the short four-month sentence that everyone thinks that Judge Frankel's verdict is too light, but Hines did not mention the core contradiction "four months" in his entire speech!

Just repeatedly nagging about "unfairness", "unfairness", "too light", "too light", "too light" and "too light"...

This is obviously not in line with the thinking and writing logic under normal circumstances.

This probably shows that Hines, a idiot, is indeed not very intelligent. He mostly wrote this speech in advance, he memorized it, and then performed in front of the reporter.

Unfortunately, I lack the ability to respond on the spot, and I still don’t know how to play the role of a clown, and I’m even complacent.

At this time, Edward couldn't help but think that an elder could not only talk and laugh with top reporters, but also angrily scold the uncrowned king with ulterior motives. Through the elder's words and deeds, words such as naive/simple become well-known, and also teach everyone the life experience of making a fortune in silence.

Alas, the gap between people is too big.

In response to this loophole in Hines, Ruth Berg used her strong connections in the judicial field. Bergman changed his stingy nature of the Jews this time and directly stated that he would reimburse him for everything and would not point fingers at him anymore. He knew that things had reached this point, and no one could save him except Ruth Berg.

Of course, Ruthberg was not polite. All kinds of detective agencies sent orders to find out Hines's background. The reports submitted even included details of Hines's life privacy. For example, this guy and his wife were extremely loving and applauded for love more than once every night.

This made Edward admire the business ability of private detectives, and also worship Hines. At this age, he is simply God's unique favor, or God is really fair. If he doesn't have a big head, he will add other aspects.

Therefore, the most suitable profession for Hines should actually be to hold the rich woman's thigh with two and a half feet in diameter and act coquettish?

After knowing the various details of Hines, Edward felt more confident and was waiting for the other party to admit it in person in court.

I have to say that this guy is indeed a cautious person. Although he planned the entire out-of-court plea agreement, he knew that the four-month sentencing was really light, but his solution was different from others.

If Solomon had tried to put pressure on many parties, and even put forward other exchanges of opinions, it was necessary to let all parties sign the agreement honestly and then follow the implementation.

The core of the out-of-court settlement is that the court's verdict is just a formality, and all contradictions have been resolved through compromises from all parties. In court, it is a good situation for you, I, I, everyone.

However, Hines was not capable of having limited IQ and could not settle all parties before the trial, so he foolishly chose the second path, trying to use the pressure of public opinion to push Judge Leyard to voluntarily violate the plea agreement and re-sent Bergman.

As a coordinator, he is unwilling to take responsibility. How can such a good thing happen in the world?

Suppose that after Judge Frankel's verdict was announced, Hines immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, and then directly suggested increasing the sentencing of Bergman during the New York High Court. In this way, although he violated the agreement, he helped Judge Leyard to bear part of the pressure and formed a de facto alliance with the latter. Then Judge Leyard could only be tied to him, regardless of whether it was public or private, and not now in the dilemma of isolated prisoners.

Even if Hines's anti-French agreement is agreed, as long as the media calls him a hero, he will only be dormant for a year or two, and then he will immediately make a comeback and take a step further on the original steps.

After all, he completed the most important task assigned to him by the organization - smearing David Hill. Although the process was not very good, it achieved the expected results.

The party bosses must remember his hard work even if they don’t look at the credit, let alone take the blame. Such a easy-to-use subordinate will be given a sweet reward if anyone wants to give him such a convenient and easy-to-use subordinate.

But Hynes stood too low and could not see that high.

So his speech became Edward's best attack point.

Edward: "Mr. Hines, did you hold a press conference after Judge Frankel's sentence?"

This is a nonsense, which is equivalent to reminding everyone that the cross-examination is about to begin officially.

Similar to the rustic rap in the previous life, you must say: Kang Binhei feeds dogs.

It's not very useful, it's just a program, otherwise the audience will inexplicably feel that it's missing a little.

Unexpectedly, Hines actually denied it in court.

Edward has seen many people who dare to do something that he dares to recognize, but he is the first to see him who is so arrogant and open his eyes to tell lies.

Hines "That was not a press conference, not a press conference. I just answered some questions asked by the reporter, just answered some questions."

These caused an uproar in the court, and even the serious judge Gotel couldn't help laughing.

Edward glanced at Ruthberg, who rolled his eyes expressionlessly, shook his head, and then smiled at him, as if saying, "Look, I'm right, that clown is really wasting my time."

This denial has no meaning, and even helps the bad news. After Judge Goldell finished laughing, he looked at Hines meaningfully. "So, Mr. Hines, can you please explain what is the significant difference between the press conference and the question of 'ans answered some reporters'?"

Hines "Uh... the former is an invitation to reporters with my subjective intention, the latter is a reporter who takes the initiative to ask me questions, while I answer passively."

Edward: "So Mr. Hines, I would like to ask, is it an initiative to invite a reporter to your office outside the court?"

Hines "Of course not counting, because I didn't want reporters to gather to cause traffic jams..."

There was an unsanctuary ridicule in the court, and Judge Gotel had no choice but to remind everyone to be serious. This is the court, not the talk show scene.

However, it is not very useful, because it is really funny.

Edward: "So you insist that, that's not a press conference?"

Hines "Yes, I just answered some reporters' questions."

Edward "So, Mr. Hines, how do you explain? You can't wait to make that speech in your office? You know, the scene was quite chaotic at that time, and the reporters asked questions in a verbal way. It is impossible for normal people to hear clearly what they were asking. May I ask if you took the initiative to say such a big call in this situation, who is answering the question? Are you in your own heart?"

Hines "…this, this, well, I admit, this is barely a press conference."

The first round ends.

Edward shrugged, without any sense of joy. Although the other party was a prosecutor, he felt like he was raiding the nursing home and beating the child: "Okay, the next question."

Edward: "Mr. Hines, when did you first decide to talk to the press about this? Tell me. Is your speech written before or after Judge Frankel's judgment?"

Hines "After that, of course, after Judge Frankel's judgment, I hurriedly conceived this article in the car from the court to the office out of dissatisfaction with his judgment. Obviously, there were some omissions in it, mainly in terms of text."

Edward was about to laugh out loud. If he hadn't been concerned about the judge's majesty, he planned to immediately spread a small story to the audience: there were no three hundred Sestyres buried underground here (the name of ancient Roman silver coins).

Edward "Mr. Hines, that is, you didn't consider issues like being too light in sentencing before Judge Frankel's sentence?"

Hines "must have thought about it, but he really has no idea to write a statement."

Edward "Why?"

Hines "Because I think sentencing is the matter of the judge."

Edward "Is that so? But from the information I obtained from the parties involved in the plea agreement, it shows that Mr. Hines has been dissatisfied with the light conviction throughout the negotiation process. The judge is the relevant testimony of others, which shows that Hines has always been involved in the determination of Bergman's sentence and expressed dissatisfaction."

Hines: "I, I just coordinate in the center."

Edward "But Judge Frankel said in his testimony that Mr. Hines had repeatedly believed that his verdict was too light and would cause a serious public backlash. Do you have any objections to this testimony?"

Hines "No, no."

Edward: "Then do you admit that you said these words?"

Hines "I, I can't remember it"

Edward looked up at Judge Gotel helplessly.

The latter also looked at Edward helplessly.

It seemed a little embarrassed in court.

Edward's hand was a bit unethical and kicked the ball directly to the judge.

According to the usual way of handling, the judge will directly ask the witness to answer questions directly.

However, the special prosecutor of Hines is also a legal person and a government civil servant. He is somewhat incest, and Judge Gotel is really a little embarrassed.

After silence for thirty seconds, it was also thirty seconds when Judge Gotel clenched the table with his fingers. Seeing that Hines was still hesitating, the judge was a little angry.

Judge Gotel: "Mr. Hines, can these records help you recall the scenes at that time?"

Hines "I, I think, I think, I, I should have said these words."

Edward "Thank you for your honesty, so can we think that before Frankel made a trial on behalf of the Federal Junior Court, you were worried about the sentence being too light?"

Hines "Yes...yes, that's right, after all, is this human nature not?"
