Chapter 96: There Must Be Something Strange in It

"Hey, if the estimation is good, most of the old things will come up with the United Nations commendation to fool me."

"You see, this is a congratulatory letter from the United Nations" As if hearing Edward's inner monologue, Bergman pulled out a beautifully printed gadget as if he had played a trick.

"Good, good, it's amazing, it's amazing!" Edward could only congratulate against his will.

"Look at these medals and certificates on the wall, each one has his origin, let me describe it in detail for you."

Then the old man trembled and spoke to Edward for another half hour, and the topic jumped back and forth between "they gave me a certificate because I did a lot of charity" and "because my nursing home was very good, so they gave me a certificate".

Edward listened patiently.

After all, this was introduced by his grandfather, so how do you say it, "Don't look at the rabbi face, look at the main face".

But what do you think......

Edward felt that Bergman was like acting, and this office was his stage, and he played a good philanthropist, a saint-like character who worked hard for the cause of the people of the United States.

Is there a saint in the country?

There should be!

If you haven't seen it, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, and although you are in capitalism, Marx's materialism is still an extremely important ideological weapon, and you can't take it for granted and draw conclusions.

As for Bergman.

Hehe, Edward knew that there were a few elderly people in the Polo Park community who lived in Bergman Nursing Home, and although they didn't escape back or often had inexplicable bruises and weight plummets, etc., they were definitely not as good as he said.

But it's not hell on earth, as described in the media, and if the media are to be taken seriously, Bergman's nursing home is as good as the concentration camp, which is obviously nonsense.

But in reality, the nursing home in the United States is notorious to the mental hospital in the United States.

The reason is also very simple, the objects served in both belong to those who lack the necessary capacity to act, and the service providers are often physically strong, and in the absence of effective supervision, it is easy to degenerate into an exhibition of the ugliness of human nature, and it is not surprising that all kinds of plots of the jungle are staged.

In fact, after being mentioned by the big black guy a few days ago, Edward also recalled a lot of related news, and he also had doubts about the authenticity of these news, and always felt that it was too dramatic and did not conform to the general law of things.

After babbling about introductions or boasting, Bergman warmly invited Edward to sit down, and then began to complain.

"Ed, you see, I'm certainly not the scoundrel the newspaper says, of course I admit that I've certainly made all sorts of mistakes in my decades-long career, but who in this world can guarantee that they won't make mistakes? For this, I am also willing to accept the punishment of the law. ”

"Previously, the prosecutor and the federal prosecutor in New York State prosecuted me in the state and federal courts, respectively, and with the help of my lawyer, I was able to get a passable result, and the state court and the federal court would sentence me to four months in prison each, but combined, which means that I only need to stay in prison for four months."

"This is my file, you can look at it later."

"However, state attorney Hines and Judge Leyard of the state court perfidiously sentenced me to two more years in prison for breaking their promise after the federal court sentenced me to four months in prison, and the previous four months cannot be deducted."

"For this, I am going to appeal!"

"Uh......" Edward scratched his head, it sounded complicated.

Not to mention anything else, Bergman is also very powerful, and it is rare for him to be targeted by state and federal prosecutors at the same time, and the two lines are attacked at the same time.

Moreover, Associate Professor Rustberg just gave a lecture on the fact that a case cannot be tried twice, so this happened?

A case in which the state federal prosecutor intervenes at the same time, and then appeals at the state federal lower court at the same time, and then the sentence is handed down one after the other?

This Nima looks extremely complicated, you can't touch your hands, you definitely can't touch your hands! If you want to hide far away, you must not be rubbed, the other party is prepared! As a young man himself, he must rat tail juice!

After making up his mind, he said, "I'm sorry, I can't help it." ”

"Ed......" Bergman continued, "this case, in fact, is very similar to Sheldon's, it is unfair that the law enforcers do not keep their promises, leaving the defendants alone to bear the losses they caused. ”

"Nonsense, it's fair for you to open a nursing home to make black money?" Edward said with contempt in his heart, but his mouth was still shirking.

Mizrasi Rabi kept his promise, and despite Bergman's frequent glances at him, he pretended not to see it, but closed his eyes and became refreshed, as if he had nothing to do with himself.

"Hey, if I knew I should have listened to Ms. Rushberg's advice, I shouldn't have engaged in any out-of-court settlement!" Seeing that persuasion had failed, Bergman began to complain to himself.

"Then let's go first, wait...... Wait a ......, who do you say your defense lawyer is in the first instance? "Edward is a clever man.

"Ms. Rushberg, she's a law professor at Yale Law School, and she's a pretty little Jewish girl, and she's out of Brooklyn."

"Uh......" Edward's heart began to beat uncontrollably.

"Then let me ask you, I don't think I'm happy with Rushberg, so why don't you ask her to continue to be your appellate lawyer?" Since she persuaded you not to accept the reconciliation before, it shows that she has confidence. ”

"Well...... Bergman squirmed a little and finally told the truth, "she said that the teaching task in the second half of the year was very heavy, and she couldn't have much energy to be a lawyer, and of course there was a small factor, because, because, I said that she didn't accept the out-of-court settlement in order to make more money from me, and I swear, I said it unintentionally, and I didn't mean to offend." ”

Hearing this, Edward's scalp was numb, and Ruthberg's aggressive personality and words, he had fully understood in class, and he was still a student who had no grudges against her, and harsh words were like machine gun fire.

In the face of such an impudent offense by Bergman......

Hehe, the old guy is alive with all arms and legs, which shows that Ruthberg is deeply cultivated and kind-hearted.

"Ah......h

He really didn't want to get involved.

The case is too bizarre.

The copy of the congressional record that Bergman took out was supposed to be genuine, and it would be too stupid for a fool to be able to find out the original records with a little effort and falsify them, and an idiot would not be able to have such a net worth.

That is to say, he did get acquainted with many dignitaries, won a lot of awards, and had a high social status and reputation; Although these things cost money, the green tickets are not only smashed in exchange for these certificate photos, but also to donate money to politicians, and politicians can be "taken care of" to a certain extent.

Even if such a person has some stains, he will not end up like this - he has almost become the public enemy of the whole country, and there must be something hidden in this.

There is a Western proverb called "skeleton in the closet", which means that everyone has some shady secrets to hide.

Edward figured that he didn't have to go to great lengths to find the remains in Bergman's closet, as soon as he opened the door of Bergman's mansion, he would probably be buried alive by a whole room of broken bones.
