Chapter 112: A Night Visit to Bergman

Roseberg was so prepared that they received a subpoena from the Second Circuit Court three days after September 21.

Hines appealed Judge Ward's ruling, asking for the verdict to be reversed.

The three masters and apprentices appeared in court, and the court debate scene was lackluster.

The trial of the Court of Appeal was presided over by Judge Coleman, an old acquaintance of the previous case, who was fair and competent, and whose legal literacy and professional ethics were exemplary.

The result was - the verdict was upheld, and Bergman could continue to "get away with it".

Hines departed in disgrace.

As for Solomon, which Rustberg had in mind, he never showed up at all.

Although Lustberg asked Edward to "deal with" Hines, the latter was not qualified to practice, so she had to go to court in person, which was the main reason why Hines left in disgrace.

The contest between the two sides is not at the same level at all, and Rustberg seems to have been born for the court or the classroom, as long as he stands on this occasion, the whole person is radiant.

The petite figure seems to be an atomic reactor, and the energy released makes everyone around her feel blind, and the unfortunate person who is on the opposite line with her is in an extremely embarrassing position.

Hines was probably the most humiliated ever, yes, humiliated.

It stands to reason that the courtroom is an elegant place, and everyone can compete with each other, but after all, it is not a street scolding competition, and there are few freaks like Jesse Williams who attack him when he opens his mouth.

Rustberg is not as mean as Professor Williams, but the poisonous tongue talent that students are so afraid of is magnified geometrically as soon as it arrives in the courtroom, so that the judge has to "kindly remind" many times:

"Ms. Ruthberg, please restrain your words a little, although these words do not violate the law, but they are indeed not appropriate, they contain remarks against the prosecutor, please refrain a little, I admit that these words are not illegal, but you and I both know that not violating the law does not mean that it is appropriate."

Obviously, the judge also knew that this female boss was not easy to mess with, and she spoke very politely.

Rustberg turned his head and smiled at Edward, and then said, "Yes, Your Excellency, I will restrain my words and hide my contempt for the prosecutor. ”

The judge said in his heart: "If I don't scold you, believe it or not, I will sentence you to a woman to contempt of court now!" ”

Hines was possessed by Chris, and he kept making crosses, not knowing whether to ask the Lord to give him courage and strength to fight the female demon, or whether he asked the head of his family to "rain down countless fires and brimstone" directly on the defense seat.

……

It's not over yet.

In his ruling, Judge Ward stated that the case would be re-heard by Judge Gerard Gottle on 10 October 1968, following an internal drawing of lots by the Court, with the aim of re-examining the evidence or checking the key evidence.

Judge Gerard Gottle, who is in his fifties and has a serious face, is known for his meticulousness and meticulousness, and his violentness in handling cases is rarely interfered with by other factors, presumably because he served as federal sheriff in the U.S. District Court before his appointment to the court.

——————

Rustberg had another eager expression on this face, "Hines is yours, and I'll take care of the rest!" It's a pity that I have to wait for more than half a month......"

It seems that she would better fight Solomon in court in the afternoon.

"But, Miss Rushberg, I'm not qualified to practise...... Edward asked the key question, "I can appear with you in court, but I can only see that I can't defend or cross-examine you." ”

Edward pondered in his heart: "Eldest sister, don't arrest me this time." I'm embarrassed to say it explicitly, but you can't object to this excuse, right? ”

He continued, "Although I have been involved in two cases before, neither has spoken in court. ”

"That's a real problem. But the last time I faced Hines really disgusted me, and talking to maggots like this, even if it was the law of the United States, would make me feel like my life was being wasted. God gave me life to work for the law, not to teach that ridiculous clown! ”

"Nonsense, I didn't come here to work for you!" Edward muttered to himself.

Although he complained, he had to admit that this job was actually quite cool, or rather painful and happy.

The pressure was indeed unprecedented, so much so that he could only sleep five or six hours a day, so it was no wonder that at a young age and with his private life checked, he went to Hansen to support the little pill.

But under this super pressure, people's potential can also be stimulated.

Through file analysis and legal combing, Edward can easily grasp any detail of this case.

Lustberg was very satisfied with this, not only praised him for his cleverness and hard work, but also pointed him out a way to make money, and when the case was over, Edward could record the things related to the case, and then submit it to the major newspapers in the form of serialization.

Usually serious newspapers such as these have legal columns, and the editors and reporters in charge are all born in the law department of a prestigious university, which has both the sensitivity of a reporter and the professionalism of a legal person, and with these people, the legal column of the newspaper is very readable and professional.

Journalists not only write their own articles but also like to ask professionals for articles, so that they can not only obtain first-hand information, but also take the opportunity to establish personal relations with barristers and justices, who are also happy to make extra money reasonably and legally through this channel, and at the same time meet relevant journalists.

This "friendship" is very important to both parties, and its value goes far beyond the amount of reading and the cost of writing a column.

When these legal professionals need to use the media to achieve certain goals, private channels are often more reliable and fast, such as the Bergman incident, the reason why the Hines Group was able to quickly launch a media war to beat Bergman is a specific application of this relationship.

On the contrary, for journalists, "getting the freshest news" is always their first pursuit.

On the contrary, such as accuracy and reliability, attention is also valued, but compared with grabbing news, it is still necessary to go to the back row, a scoop, even if the content is not very accurate, but as long as it is published, it can bring its own fame and media attention.

As for the accuracy of the content of the news, this is really not a big problem, anyway, it can be corrected through follow-up reports, and with this card, reporters are naturally doubly interested in the internal information released by various insiders, even if they know that the other party is not acting with good intentions and is using the media to achieve their own goals.

But so what?

Roseberg was well-connected in legal and media circles, and she promised Edward that he would be introduced to the legal editors of several major newspapers, which was a good thing for a law student to be a future lawyer, which was a good thing to make money and earn face, and ordinary people really couldn't take their turn.

Obviously, Lustberg also understands that the emperor does not send hungry soldiers.

"Ed, this afternoon, do you have time?" Ruthberg asked suddenly

"Huh?" Edward was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I don't have classes in the afternoon, please command." ”

"You call Bergman at once, and say that you and I will go back to visit him at seven o'clock tonight to discuss the case."

"Okay"

"Then, I'm going to trouble you to drive, let's go together."

"No problem."

"Well, we'll talk about it then. Now I have to work. "Rushberg is like this, as soon as he talks about serious things, he immediately gives an eviction order, and rarely greets people.

This made Edward feel that the woman in front of him seemed to be a robot, efficient and infallible in handling tasks, but seemed to lack personal life and feelings.

"Well, I haven't heard of robots giving birth to babies these years, so Rustberg should still be human."
