Chapter 214: Challenge

"Since it is my fiancée's order, how dare I disobey?" Leon waved his hand helplessly, he should have known that the result would be like this, how could he have the illusion that Yue'er would really behave out of line with him in the ward?

"Please stop calling me that, the doctors were already weird when they looked at me." Yue'er complained that although she believed in the professional ethics of professionals and believed that these doctors would not gossip, the eyes of some of them were really strange just now......

"Probably that's what they look at?" Leon picked up Yue'er, walked to the bathroom, put her in front of the mirror, and let her look carefully at the two hugging each other in the mirror. Yue'er found out that his "masterpiece" was originally a strawberry planted by him when he just woke up, but he didn't expect it to look so scary, and people who didn't know must have thought they did something indescribable last night......

Thinking back to the eyes of those young doctors now, Yue'er was a little unsettled......

"You did it on purpose......"

"Hmm. I just didn't expect your skin to be so tender......" Leon looked meaningfully at the marks he had left on Yue'er's body, and licked his upper lip unconsciously......

"I'll bite off your tongue sooner or later......" Yue'er didn't imagine how this action should actually be operated......

"It's not too late for this kind of thing to happen as soon as possible~!" Leon sat down expectantly and motioned for her to hurry up and carry out the "torture".

Yue'er was also very helpless in this kind of conversation, she turned her head to open the suitcase, turned on the computer, and went directly to work.

"By the way, what do you want me to help you with?" Leon obediently returned to the hospital bed and waited for instructions from his superiors.

"Well, yes, I recently took on a case of sexual assault in college. The defendant was a freshman who had just entered the school when he went out to party with his classmates and met a girl, and the two had a relationship after intimate interaction and drinking. Then the two woke up and the woman called the police, saying that he was a sexual assaulter. This case has attracted a lot of attention, everyone almost overwhelmingly supports the girl, thinking that as long as the relationship is the man's problem, plus the media attention is very large, the man's family has found a lot of lawyers, most of them are forced by public opinion and the family does not dare to accept it, for fear of infamy. ”

After Yue'er finished speaking, she opened a bottle of mineral water on the table, drank it and continued to state: "Of course I sympathize with the girl, but I read the file, this boy is really good, he was a national junior swimming champion before, and now the school has disqualified him from the NCAA championship, and it is very likely that he will drop out of school, he originally hoped to represent the United States in the Olympic Games, and planned to study medicine in the future, but the current situation is that the case is very unfavorable to him, and this case is very important to his future." ”

"So how can I help you?" Leon was a little curious.

"The relationship between them is certain, all the test reports support this result, and the boy's parents approached us and asked us to take on this case and help him get the most reduction in his sentence."

"Aren't you afraid of the pressure of public opinion?" Leon added another question, as a star, he knows very well how terrible the pressure of public opinion is. Nowadays, many people like to stand on the moral high ground to look down on others, and condemn everyone with their self-righteous moral justice. There will definitely be a lot of people who blame it, thinking that any lawyer who takes on such a case is making black money, and it is all conscience that the dog eats it.

"Lawyers are not gods, and we are not omniscient God, so we have no authority to judge. Whether it's the public or lawyers, we're all small ordinary people, so the vast majority of us are stupid, emotional, and constantly making mistakes. Such mortals are not qualified to judge others, and the only thing that can replace us is the law. No matter how much pressure there is from public opinion, as a lawyer, I should defend my client without any emotion, and finally make a judgment based on law and evidence, which is what I understand as the rule of law. ”

Yue'er knew that she had reached the center of the vortex when she took on this case, and this case attracted a lot of public attention, with many extremist groups claiming to lynch the boy, and online comments were full of violence. To be honest, Nate didn't want her to take on such a case, but she was not afraid of these gossips, as she told Leon, she was just a lawyer, and her duty was to defend her client, not to be forced to compromise with the world.

What's more, in this case, she has clearly seen the ugliness of human nature - the hatred of the rich of many people at the bottom is vividly expressed. Their discussion did not revolve around the case itself, but the physical assault on the defendant boy. In fact, in the eyes of many people, having wealth is a kind of original sin, and this boy from an elite family has been accompanied by flowers and applause all the way, has all the resources that this society can get, and entered the top institutions of higher learning in the United States, which has made many people gnash their teeth. Therefore, when he encountered such a difficulty, many people were eager to kick him into the abyss, and he would never recover.

But this is not right, no one is qualified to start evaluating without figuring out the ins and outs, the judiciary should be impartial, impartial, absolutely not influenced by public opinion, but closely follow the facts. Even if the sentence is sentencing, it must be justified.

Those extremist groups threatened to chemically castrate him, which is not in line with the spirit of the law. Therefore, the more such a security check, the more Yue'er will not be able to sit idly by.

It is a fact that they have a relationship, but even if they are guilty, he will not be guilty to death, and Yue'er will do her best to get a commutation for him.

What's more, for lawyers, before the law, facts are divided into facts that actually happened (i.e., truth) and legal facts. The former is sometimes only visible to God. Even if the parties are in the middle of it, many people do not know the full facts of the case. And even if the parties know all the facts, they may not be able to say it. If there is no relevant evidence to support it, the judge may not be able to accept it.

All in all, when she announced that she was taking up the case, it meant that she would go all out to fight for the lowest possible sentence for the boy. The so-called justice that they are angry with is just condescending sympathy for the victim, and even beautifying the victim to a certain extent deliberately scandalizes the boy, but puts themselves on the moral high ground to magnify the flaws of others.

In fact, Yue'er remembered what a professor at law school had said that the more convinced those who were righteous about their own righteousness, the easier it was to slide into the abyss of injustice. She is a legal professional, and should not be a general knowledge of the spirit of the law among the general public. Lawyers only need to abide by the ethics of lawyers and the rules of the game of lawyers, where are there so many savior feelings?

"It's worthy of being my woman, say it, what can I help you." Leon looked at Yue'er with more admiration than before, of course he knew that Yue'er would not be afraid of those gossips, but he still couldn't help but look at this little woman's courage differently. Yue'er needs help, and he naturally helps, but he really can't think of anything he can help.

Yue'er didn't pay attention to his verbal teasing, whether it was "fiancée" or "my woman", let it be. Anyway, with less than three months of assessment, everything he says doesn't count.

"What I need you to help me with is to review the case with me. In this case, the boy and the girl both had a relationship after drinking. I would like to ask you if you have any personal experience in this area, can a man still judge whether the woman in front of him is willing to have sex with him after drinking? ”

Yue'er's question made Leon stunned for a moment, it turned out that the "help" he needed was this form of help...... I knew that he wouldn't agree, how could he answer, the woman in front of him was the goddess he was trying to pursue, why did this second make him feel like he was a prisoner awaiting trial......

"Uh, that's ......," Leon didn't know how to answer.

"What's wrong? I thought you'd have experience with that. "Although he said that 51 were false, 17 were always true. Besides, 17 are girlfriends that he personally admitted, so according to American standards, a man like him may not be less dewy than his girlfriend, Yue'er thinks that Leon has more or less had such an experience.

Leon looked at her expressionless appearance, and probably expected that she was "businesslike" at this time, without any personal feelings, but he would still be awkward, for fear that what he said would become a stumbling block for him in the future.

"Don't worry, no one else will know what you say, including my mother, I'm not such a gossip person." Yue'er once again swore that she would never leak it, including her own mother.

Do I care about your mom? I care about you! Leon almost roared inside...... This woman must have wanted to kill him......

"Then if I say it, will you be jealous?" He asked cautiously.

"I told you I was never jealous." Yue'er wondered what kind of mentality this person had, why she expected others to be jealous, she was really not such a stingy person. Whatever happened, it was in the past. Everyone has a past, and if you really want to be together, there is no need to dwell on each other's past.

It's just that people like her are in the minority, both men and women, and Leon himself is afraid that he can't do it, as long as he thinks of Chris, he will feel uncomfortable like a cat, he wants to ask but doesn't dare to ask, he is afraid of hearing things that make him uncomfortable, and he is afraid of helping Yue'er recall the good things in the past, which is really tangled.

In fact, he hoped that Yue'er would be jealous of him, which would make him feel that she seemed to care more about himself. It's just that this routine obviously won't work for her......

"Well, I'll tell you my experience, just for reference." Leon took a deep breath and began to share his drunken affair history carefully, he really never expected such a scene to happen one day, it was really head-scratching......
