Chapter 485 Motion

The news of Su Mu's "sexual assault case" continues to ferment, and this trumped-up scandal has spread rapidly around the world.

People think that this is the beginning of his stepping down from the altar, there have been no scandals related to Su Mu in the past, and even if there are, they are just trivial things, and the things are getting bigger and bigger, and in just two or three days, it has almost reached the point of becoming a household name.

The name Carol is also known to countless people.

Sitting back and waiting is not Sumu's style, and he began to fight back the day the San Francisco Chronicle first reported it.

Including Carlo's family, friends, colleagues, and even her child's attending physician, they were all questioned by the police one after another at Su Mu's behest.

At that time, Carlo's attendance, supervisor's evaluation, etc. when he was working for him were also found out, and any small clue could become an opportunity for Su Mu to turn around.

Originally, Su Mu even thought that there were forces deliberately dealing with him, but as the investigation deepened, he found many clues, clues that were beneficial to him......

The first weekend of August.

Su Mu sat at the table, surrounded by well-known lawyers from major law firms, and he told:

"Okay gentlemen, it seems that as long as I want to clear my name, a trip to court is inevitable, and stop telling me that it is better to settle out of court, it will only make me look weak, like I am spending money to cover up the facts.

After so many days of research, tell me what can I do? I paid you to come here, not just to scare the other party's prosecutor, I gave you all the documents you need, did you find more useful clues?"

The cost of a lawyer in the United States is very expensive, and to some extent more expensive than seeing a doctor, after all, medical insurance can be reimbursed if you are sick, and no one can help you pay for hiring a lawyer.

If you believe in a court-appointed free lawyer...... Not everyone has the good fortune to meet a well-known barrister who comes out to do charity and maintain a good image in the eyes of judges.

Middle-class families have a headache in the face of lawyers who charge by the hour, no matter which country, lawyers are a very promising and good industry, Su Mu of course it is impossible to hire some cheap lawyers who are not capable to pit themselves, it can be said that the barrister with the most experience in sexual assault cases and defamation cases in the entire United States is in his office at the moment, often behind a lawyer, all represent a large law firm.

All the companies controlled by Su Mu spend about $300 million a year to deal with difficult lawsuits, winning and losing, and barely making some money by relying on compensation, after all, he holds enough patents.

From Larry Ellison alone, he got about two billion dollars, who made that shameless person like to copy Sumu's products.

A lawyer from a law firm told Su Mu: "The good news is that you have not made a mistake, and from the information we have received so far, the other party has not found any clues against you except for dictation and performance."

Our law is very fair, it will not find an innocent person guilty just because the other party just talked, and there are no more clues, we successfully countersued the other party for fraud and blackmail, and deliberately damaged your reputation. Since there is no need for an out-of-court settlement, we will go directly to the final pre-trial stage and work out the trial plan as soon as possible, including the plan to promote the admission of evidence, we have a lot of evidence, testimony to prove your innocence, and as far as I know, the other party's lawyer does not have much control over the company, this is a very shoddy blackmail. ”

With Su Mu's money, he will not question whether Su Mu is really a crime, it has nothing to do with being a lawyer, he is responsible for helping the defense, just let him prove his innocence, and the elites who can mix with senior lawyers will not have too bad emotional intelligence, and they know what to do.

Also known as a "scheduling conference," the judge presides over a timetable for the parties to agree on matters such as filing motions, amending pleadings, consolidating other parties, and completing the presentation and presentation of evidence, as well as setting a trial date.

The reason why the pre-trial conference is also arranged is to give the parties a chance to reconcile, and the vast majority of litigation cases are settled at this stage, which is quite time-consuming and laborious, and some people would rather suffer a loss than give money to the lawyer.

Su Mu doesn't have much money, he doesn't care how much it will cost to hire these lawyers, he cares more about his reputation, he doesn't want to continue to live in the name of a "sexual harassment pervert" in the future, he has to prove his innocence.

In the United States, the courts usually do not review the complaint on its own, and it is the responsibility of Su Mu's lawyers to pick out objections from the complaint, another lawyer said at the moment: "I don't think there is a need for a trial, from what I have learned, this is simply a farce against you, since the plaintiff has no evidence, and at the same time cannot find witnesses, we can enter a dispositional motion, asking the federal court of San Francisco to make a judgment without trial, to drop the case before the defense, and to make a motion for summary judgment." ”’

I once thought about becoming a lawyer when I grew up, and I learned a lot of legal knowledge in advance, and the specific legal terms were often changed, but Su Mu was very clear about these legal terms, nodded and said: "I have been leaving my company for so long, and I have encountered financial problems, and Shengli is on my side, and it is possible to withdraw the case in advance, but will it be considered that I am bullying the other party?"

"But the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for you, and such a case should not go to trial unless the judge specifically targets you. A bald old lawyer, who had defended President Nixon's Watergate clients and was well-known in the legal profession, costing thousands of dollars an hour to appear, added: "Of course, I don't think any judge would deliberately target you." ”

What's going on in this room won't be passed on to the outside world unless a big-mouthed lawyer is willing to lose his job, his reputation, and take the risk of losing money and freedom.

Su Mu smiled, he told: "I happen to know some people, if the other party's evidence is insufficient, a direct judgment seems to be a good choice, I have never done anything to that hateful woman, it seems that the people around me have to be replaced by men, maybe this is the reason why many companies are reluctant to recruit female employees, it is simply a time bomb."

You go and arrange it for me, the counterclaim will also go on, the stock price has been falling in recent days, I need to hold a press conference, you can help me think about the problems I may face, in order to avoid embarrassment at that time, I have to do a rehearsal first. Go sue them, including the woman and the media company that violated my reputation. ”

"I will definitely do my best, please rest assured that ......"
