The Daily Life of American Drama Detective

Chapter 264 He is anxious, he is anxious!

in court.

The judge spoke and the case immediately turned into a fact-finding case.

That is, did Max Henson, a radio host, know that it was a lie when he told that vicious lie?

But this was not what Harvey the Suitman had expected.

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

of."

As he said that, he handed over a USB flash drive.

"be opposed to."

Female lawyer Emily immediately stood up and objected: "The recording did not obtain the consent of the client, the evidence was obtained illegally, and it cannot be used as evidence."

"Your honor, they were recording the program at the time and they consented to being recorded, so the recording is legal. The plaintiff requested to make it public."

Harvey the suit guy retorted.

"be opposed to!"

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

The two began to bicker with each other again.

"alright!"

The judge had a headache after hearing this. He rubbed his head and stopped the two of them. He thought for a while and said, "Let's play the recording."

"Thank you, your honor."

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

Liberal judges do like to compromise, AKA, they are the masters of nonsense literature.

Otherwise, Matthew in Finding Mom would not be known as Justice Marshmallow (doge) when he becomes a justice in New York in the future.

But even a layman like Max Henson can control this kind of personality, so how could the most professional person like him not.

Unless the judge is so shameless, he will definitely win this case!

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

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

"Nothing is wrong. No matter what the paralyzed guy says, they have no evidence. What I know is that as long as someone listens to what I say, that's enough."

"What the boss is saying is, it's a pity that MAX has such a tall figure, so this name is so suitable. It's all because of that bastard with facial paralysis, his popularity turned negative before he could get it."

"Little Willy, what's wrong? I miss my mother~"

Harvey, the man in a suit, interrupted the recording and looked around everyone: "This is the defendant chatting privately with his partner after the latest program ended. 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 speak out and someone listens, that’s enough’?

It is obvious that the defendant has a distorted view of the right to free speech under the First Amendment of the Constitution and completely ignores the lying and defamation clause!

If people like him are allowed to unscrupulously invoke the First Amendment of the Constitution 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 maneuver. She immediately stood up and retorted: "My client just expressed the voice of a radio host. He doesn't need much, as long as there is an audience."

, he will continue to do this show, that’s all.”

"For example, this female listener MAX who has a great figure?"

Harvey, the man in the suit, mocked: "Are you sure he just wants her to listen?"

The onlookers smiled knowingly.

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

The female lawyer Emily has become a ruthless opposition machine.

"You can only hope that it doesn't matter."

Harvey, the man in the suit, said sternly: "As far as I know, MAX, who they say has a figure that is more suitable for the name MAX than your client, is just a girl!"

The people who were watching and laughing suddenly stopped laughing.

Making fun of an adult woman like this in public will make people laugh, but this woman is still just a girl, so that's a completely different story.

Although the enforcement of the minor protection laws in the United States is not very good, at least it is very strict at the legal level.

“Is the plaintiff’s lawyer going to file a new lawsuit?”

Female lawyer Emily asked rhetorically.

Although she is worried, after all, from the private conversations of these guys, it can be seen that they have no respect for the law. The highest respect for fans is to connect with them. This is really fucking!

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

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

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

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

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Harvey, the man in suit, smiled.

"Plaintiff's lawyer, let us pay attention to this case now!"

When the judge saw that it was possible to bring out the case within the case, which would have a particularly bad impact, he immediately interrupted with a headache.

"Okay, your honor."

Harvey, a man in a suit, glanced at the judge's face and smiled: "It can be heard from the recording that the defendant and his partner knew they were lying!"

"be opposed to!"

Female lawyer Emily argued: "As the plaintiff's lawyer said, this recording is the latest one. It was only after the police rescued Jamie that my client realized that what he believed before was wrong.

This is not to say that my client is lying!

But my client just believed what he knew under the original circumstances!"

"Then ask him to prove it!"

Harvey the suit guy said.

"be opposed to!"

Female lawyer Emily retorted expressionlessly: "This is not in accordance with legal procedures and follows the principle of inference of innocence. The plaintiff needs to prove it himself, rather than 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 any evidence to prove that the defendant knew in advance that his words were lies?"

"Actually, I can really do it."

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

"be opposed to!"

Female lawyer Emily was shocked and immediately objected: "We were not notified of the new witness."

"In your words, your client is innocent, so why are you worried about the new witness? As long as it is true, it cannot be false. When the time comes, you can just refute the testimony of the new witness."

Harvey, the man in suit, smiled.

"Your Honor."

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."

"Thanks."

After thanking Harvey in a suit, he motioned to the bailiff to invite a new witness.

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

"Please introduce yourself."

Harvey, a man in a suit, came over and calmed the nervous girl with his most charming smile.

"My name is Erin Reagan."

The girl said.

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

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

"Of course I know you."

Erin Regan nodded: "I often listen to his show, it's very interesting."

"And his website."

Suitable Harvey added.

"sometimes will."

Erin Reagan nodded.

“On his personal website, a netizen with the nickname ‘Subvert the Rules’ logged in 83 times. Is this ‘Subvert the Rules’ you?”

Harvey the Suitman asked.

"it's me."

Erin Reagan nodded.

"83 times doesn't happen sometimes."

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

"Sent a few letters."

Erin Regan glanced sheepishly at Max Henson, whose expression had changed in the dock and was whispering to the female lawyer.

"Did you write in your email that Shelly Willens wanted to have a late-term abortion at the clinic where you work?"

Harvey, the man in the suit, continued to ask.

Erin Reagan hesitated immediately.

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

Harvey, a man in a suit, took a step forward and attracted Eileen Regan's attention. Then he turned sideways, allowing Eileen Regan's eyes to see the idol Max Henson with a bad face in the dock.

"Yes, I sent this email."

Erin Regan can only tell the truth.

"Is the late-term abortion thing true?"

Suit-wearing Harvey asked the key question.

Everyone looked over.

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

key.

This statement itself is nonsense.

The statement that Max Henson used to cover himself up was not a wanton slander. Even the jury members who wanted to help him could not speak for him legitimately.

"no."

Erin Regan shook her head.

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

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

"No."

Erin Regan shook her head.

"Were you surprised when Max Henson went on the radio to accuse Shelley Willance of your information? Why?"

Harvey the Suitman asked.

"Because I wrote him another email and said I made it up."

Erin Reagan said.

The court was immediately in an uproar.

If this is done, it will really prove the most difficult problem to prove, the problem of people’s perception of people’s hearts.

"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 anxious, he's anxious."

At the same time, a faint voice rang out from the jury box, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"It's the smart Chandler!"

"Bingo!"

Those who followed the entire incident immediately recognized Chandler in the corner of the jury box.

"quiet!"

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

"Okay, your honor, I'm just here to collect information."

Chandler stood up and smiled: "I believe this trial will definitely give me rich materials, and 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 was also a celebrity. After Chandler surrendered, he graciously let him go and said to Harvey, the man in the suit: "Plaintiff's lawyer, you continue.

.”

"Okay, your honor."

Harvey, a man in a suit, glanced at the female lawyer Emily and continued to cross-examine Erin Regan: "Why did you spread rumors to slander a mother who lost her beloved daughter?"

"I, I just want to get his response."

Erin Regan cried: "Be a part of his life, he is Max Henson!"

"Your Honor, I'm done asking."

Harvey, a man in a suit, looked around at everyone and scanned the whole place with an extremely confident look.

"Your Honor, we request a temporary adjournment."

The female lawyer Emily stood up and said.

"allow."

The judge agreed without thinking.

He knew that the defendant wanted to discuss the plea deal with the plaintiff again. Facing an increasingly difficult case, he had no choice but to use him to pronounce the verdict and just left it private.

The trial is over.

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

"Yeah?"

Harvey, a man in a suit, smiled unmoved and said: "Then let her stick it out and wait for a hearty victory first."

The female lawyer Emily's face darkened: "Do you think you will win?"

"I've never lost."

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

"Don't get too proud yet, no one can win forever!"

Female lawyer Emily: "$3 million in compensation, plus a public apology, to end this case."

"As I said before, Detective Chuck drew the line."

Harvey, a man in a suit, shook his head and said: "Five million US dollars in compensation and a public apology. He will not accept compromise."

"Come on!"

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

"Then it's over. We have taken several steps back. From only being willing to apologize privately to being willing to apologize publicly, the compensation has increased from 500,000 US dollars to 1 million, 1.5 million, 2 million, and now it is 3 million.

, this has reached the limit, it’s time for you to take a step back.”

Female lawyer Emily's face was covered with soft light effects: "Harvey, I know that as long as you are willing, you can do it."

"Don't rush to flatter me yet~"

Harvey, the man in the suit, joked: "Everyone is compromising. Chuck does agree with the famous sayings of our profession, but there is another sentence below that I didn't tell you."

"What words?"

The female lawyer Emily looked very unhappy and had an ominous premonition.

"He said."

Harvey, a man in a suit, smiled half-heartedly: "He agreed with this sentence, so he drew this bottom line."

"..."

The female lawyer Emily's face turned completely dark.

As a lawyer and a well-known barrister, her IQ cannot be bad, and she grasped the true meaning of this sentence at once.

To translate, it is true that everyone will compromise! But there is only one thing that Chuck compromises on, and that is the fact that others keep compromising on him!
