Judge Ward returned to his office and instructed the secretary to sort out the questioning as quickly as possible.

One assured Edward that he would soon announce his conclusions.

This is indeed a matter of urgency, and in 16 hours, Bergman will be put in prison.

If Judge Ward, like Judge Arnold before him, ostensibly cooperates, he is actually playing the wrong game - making a ruling against Bergman.

Then it would be too late to appeal that day, and the Court of Appeals did not open until half past ten, by which time Bergman had already entered.

Edward and Ceyleri sat in the hall waiting for the results.

"Ed, what do you think ......?"

"I guess we should have convinced him." Edward was also a little unsure, "But, how do you say this kind of thing?" ”

"Yes......" Silari was silent.

The wait was extraordinarily long.

About thirty minutes later, Judge Ward came out of his office and announced his decision in a slow tone:

"Although the Minister of Justice has stated that the facts involved in this case are not particularly different from those that are often encountered by the Tribunal, the Tribunal disagrees. The articles, commentaries, and newscasts that have been published around this case are not the usual forms that we are familiar with. The case will be in the hands of the people, which will receive a lot of media attention this afternoon"

"The Tribunal has sufficient evidence to conclude that the State of New York's performance of the out-of-court agreement is a serious violation of the defendant's constitutional rights"

"There is also the appellant's determination that the sentence to be executed from tomorrow is likely to be served, and if the request for a stay of execution is denied, then the appellant's request will be meaningless."

"In view of the foregoing, the Tribunal will grant an adjournment pending the hearing of this motion, which will be heard by Judge Gerard Gottle."

"Great!" Very happy, "Ed, we made it" said and hugged him.

Judge Ward smiled: "Young man, what an enviable enthusiasm......"

After special training with Meghan, Edward was not impressed by this level of intimacy, and after gently breaking free, he said to Judge Ward: "Thank you for your commitment to justice and justice, it's great that the United States has a judge like you." ”

"Hey, don't be too happy," he said to her, "it's just a suspension of execution, and there's still an appeal to be fought." ”

"yes," Judge Ward nodded, "it can't be called a victory, and the road ahead is hard." But I hope that you will persevere to the end, for yourselves and for the sake of the dignity of the laws of the United States. ”

……

The United States is a highly developed society with a media industry, especially large television stations and newspapers have their own "informants" in the courts and other places, so as to obtain information as soon as possible, and in order to get a big news out, the majority of journalists are really racking their brains.

When the news of Bergman's suspension broke, it instantly detonated all the media.

Early the next morning, a newspaper headline ran "Bergman wins 11-hour jail delay!" ”。

published an editorial entitled:

"To delay justice is to destroy justice. Bergman, the sum total of all the ugliness of the nursing home industry, has once again played justice in the palm of his hand. ”

The author was John Heath, who was the first to "expose" Bergman's scandalous behavior in the newspapers.

Finally, he wrote: "Maybe by the time we're all in the nursing home, Bergman will just be stepping through the prison gates." ”

…… For the next few days, Edward didn't watch TV, didn't listen to the radio, and didn't even read newspapers.

He knew that the huge waves would come at him, and it was better to close his eyes and not see than to face the waves.

But to his surprise, the first target of the news wave caused by the suspension of execution was not him, and certainly not Ruthberg, but turned into an unexpected person.

Mr. Charles Hines, State Special Prosecutor, New York State Office of the Special Prosecutor for Health and Special Services.

This is what Chris discovered, in addition to classes and training every day, the big black man can only take time to read the newspaper news before eating or sleeping, and when he told Edward about this discovery with a question mark in his head, the latter was also stunned, "This is not scientific......

It's like he was a naughty boy, he stabbed the hornet's nest and ran away, and as he ran, he found that the buzzing behind him was getting softer and lighter, and when he turned his head, he saw that the old sea of bees next door was stung all over his head.

Edward's curiosity rose and he hurriedly turned on the TV to read the newspaper, and although the media were all dissatisfied, the tone was similar, and the original heroic prosecutor Hines was now the target of criticism - because he had been busy for a long time and still did not send Bergman to prison.

As for the names of Edward and Rushberg, they also appeared in the newspapers, but most of them were passed by, and of course there were some newspapers that were obviously run by Democrats, and there were no good things to say about the teachers and students, and the words were all about Jews huddled together to play with the laws of the United States.

Since you can't figure it out, ask someone.

Who to look for?

Rushberg, of course.

"Teacher, preaching and receiving karma to solve doubts!" Edward shook his head and played with the ancient text in front of Rushberg.

"It's a simple question." Ruthberg took off her glasses, lifted the hem of her skirt slightly with both hands, and crossed her legs elegantly, "David Hill is starting to fight back, or the Republican Party behind him has seized the opportunity!" ”

"Their goal is to muddy the waters, and if Hines can use the media to make David Hill stink, then Republicans can use the media to make Hines stink, and then use the media to put pressure on the court."

"Can you still play like this?" Edward froze, "I, I'm a little confused. ”

"Think about it slowly, this is a clever strategy, at this time, if you blindly defend David Hill, it won't have too good results, in fact, they have been defending before, but do you think it works? In the eyes of most citizens, the Republican House Hope is still a guy who sold his soul to a Jewish villain. ”

"Well," muttered Edward, muttering to himself, "I can't say that anyone knows the media better than I do!" ”

"Guess what's going to happen next?" Ruthberg asked.

"Uh...... Hines and Solomon meet to negotiate and then wait for us to appeal? ”

"No, if I'm right, Hines should appeal to the U.S. District Court in New York to have Bergman's stay revoked and to serve his sentence immediately in a state jail on Lex Island."

"That's right," Edward woke up from a dream, "the other side is a veteran, and they must know that offense is the best defense, so instead of waiting for us to slowly appeal, it is better to get ahead of the curve and drag us into their rhythm." ”

"So, you and Cyraree are ready these days, we're going to New York at any time, hehe, I'm looking forward to fighting Solomon in court."

"What about Hines?" Edward asked

"The clown, who is not worth mentioning, has neither good professionalism nor self-knowledge. My time is too precious to waste on such an idiot. Dealing with him is shortening his life in disguise. ”

"So......" she said, looking at Edward with a smile, "I'll leave this guy to you." ”

"I ......"

"Don't be afraid, I will give you a detailed defense draft, as long as you and your little assistant perfect the details on this framework, and then read it in court, you will definitely not lose."

"I ......"

"Okay, here's the draft. I'm going to class soon, do you have anything else to do? ”

"It's gone, it's gone."

"Okay, I'll see you in class later."

Looking at the curvaceous back and the footsteps of the high-heeled Guoguo, Edward couldn't help but burst into tears: "When will this day be the end......

But life has to go on.
