Chapter 315: Qualified Bosses and Loyal Subordinates
317
As the saying goes, a thief bites into three points, Edward is not a thief, he is the future legal and political elite of the United States, and he bites it...... What......
Larry Parry lay in bed for two days before he barely felt a little recovered, but the spirit that he had prided himself as a servant of God and a legal elite everywhere he went was completely destroyed.
During the two days he was bedridden, he did not eat or drink, but prayed incessantly that the Lord of his house would send him the grace of God and give him infinite courage and wisdom to face the Jewish villain...... No, the Lord could rain down countless fires and brimstone in New York City, treat the filth of the United States as Sodom, or simply slash the Jewish serpent to death with thunder.
But then he immediately became frightened, and the thoughts behind him were obviously contrary to the principle of good faith
Yes, the counterclaim for infringement seems like a joke that makes himself a laughing stock in the judicial circles, and what is even more helpless is that Larry Parry finds himself in a way to dismantle the other party's attack...... It seems to be a simple and old-fashioned approach, but there is no second way for you to go except to be beaten passively.
This is the most fatal, that is, he can only obediently go to the New York City Superior Court to testify.
And judging by Edward's treacherous level, it is clear that he will not be allowed to appear in court only once, and then he will face a summons flying like snowflakes......
New York City Superior Court ......
Larry Parry is a man of the legal circle, and of course knows the prestige of this court, which is older than the United States, and is one of the first places in the New World to provide legal services, as the name suggests - the New York City Superior Court, which is usually referred to only by the state Court of Final Appeal.
Of course, with the passage of time, the New York City Superior Court has ceased to be the final adjudicator, but has become the main force of daily review, like most intermediate courts.
The origins of the New York City Superior Court make it pay special attention to the protection of freedom, and the judges in it are almost all liberals, which can be called the legal stronghold of the Democratic Party.
It's just that in the case of enormous discretion, the subjective consciousness of the judge can seriously affect the outcome of his decision.
……
Actually, it was revenge from Edward.
He is a human being in two lives, and he especially likes to watch all kinds of love movies, in his last life, because of the country's ban on pornography, he could only secretly download and watch it on the computer, and now he is free, but the southern red neck tried to shamelessly deprive him of his freedom through the judicial process......
Is it tolerable or unbearable!
He had long wanted to give Larry Parry a hard time and let the bastard know that the justice manipulators would not end well, but the priority at that time was to help Harry Remus get away with it, so he had to put his revenge aside for the time being.
Originally, with the end of the lawsuit, Edward was too lazy to chase and fight anymore, everyone resigned, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to, and Larry Parry was quite popular in Memphis and Tennessee, and Edward thought that he couldn't kill this thing, so he had to be merciful and forgiving......
But right now, Larry Parry doesn't know whether he wants to sue Larry Flint, and that is to send a pillow to Edward for sleepiness.
He just wants to let this product understand a truth: if there is a lawsuit, there will be a lawsuit, and everyone will win or lose according to their ability in the court, and there will be fewer off-the-market moves.
He especially looked down on Larry Parry - he thought he was very smart and had mastered the shortcut to the law, but in fact, this so-called shortcut, everyone who practiced the law would do it, but many times everyone had a tacit agreement not to do it.
In the complex judicial system, there must be shortcuts or back doors, these shortcuts are the patents of lawyers and judges, you can use some legal and procedural loopholes to seek some small benefits for yourself, or sometimes do not want to make money simply rely on this thing to avoid trouble, put on the table is not easy to say, just rely on the back door to gently bring through.
But Larry Parry defended the world's condemnation and created a "statute" to make Harry Remes wanted nationally, which is too taboo, which is tantamount to blatantly breaking everyone's original tacit understanding, and turning the original private affairs of each other on the table and exposing them to broad daylight.
Isn't this a discredit to the lawyer?
This is also the reason why Deputy Attorney General Robert Burke could not bear to intervene directly.
Playing like this in a circle is going to be wrong.
Edward had heard a lot of rumors in New Haven, and everyone didn't have a good impression of Larry Parry, wishing that this guy would be killed by lightning tomorrow......
In this case, he felt that he could fight Taiping Boxing, and if he won, he could vent for himself and brush up some prestige by the way;
If you lose,...... How to say it, theoretically there is indeed such a possibility, but at the moment, those who engage in the law see Laripari as unpleasant, and will more or less help step on a few feet......
As for the infringement lawsuit itself, Edward did not expect to win.
The United States still speaks of the law to some extent, and if this can be won, won't it block a way for victims to demand justice?
Even if the New York City Supreme Court rules that he won, the Supreme Court will definitely not do it......
Edward's counterclaim is nothing more than to delay as much time as possible, and then use various judicial methods reasonably and legally to torture Larry Parry, on the one hand, to let him taste this taste, and on the other hand, it is also a kind of advice "Hey, stop the lawsuit, settle out of court...... Don't fucking give a shame."
At the beginning, he didn't intend to win or lose the case involving two Larries in court, and the two parties could settle out of court, and one party just lost some money.
But Larry Parry's granite head is angry now, and if you really want to talk to him about an out-of-court settlement, there must be no way out, so in this case, you might as well beat it with a judicial stick first, and then drizzle, which is also the main working method of the lawyer's daily collusion.
As for the final outcome, Edward himself does not know, but one thing is certain, not many people can survive this kind of perfectly legal judicial harassment, even if you are an insider, or even more because you are an insider......
Larry Parry never imagined that the routine he had done Harry Rems at the beginning would all fall on him......
……
When Edward told Larry Flint about the counter-accusation, the other party's throat was so loud that it almost shattered the telephone receiver.
"Fxxk, Ed, I'll just say I didn't see the wrong person, no, no, no, I'm going to make a lot of money this time! God, if you are a woman, I am absolutely willing to put my cow in your mouth, even if you are motionless, I am willing, this represents trust, supreme trust! ”
"Don't frown, although I can guess your expression over the phone, when you put your cow in the FAKE NEWS slut host, I think you must trust her, right! Remember, back-to-back trust and affection on the battlefield are not as good as the close connection between the cow and the mouth! ”
"Uh...... How do you know about me and Megan...... Don't ,...... "Edward headaches."
"Hehe, that's what Larry is capable of, I can tell at a glance if a man or a woman has slept with each other...... How about it, do you want me to teach you......"
"Thank you, I guess it's better to forget ......"
"No, this is an extremely useful skill, and when you say in public that prosecutors and judges have a leg in court, it will definitely be the highlight of your life, and when you are old, you can sit by the fire and show off to your grandchildren......"
Edward simply couldn't communicate with him normally, showing off to his grandson that he had exposed the judge in court and put the cow in the prosecutor's mouth? This will teach bad children......
But Larry is Party A's father, and he has no other requirements for the money to be paid, so since he wants to talk about it, let him talk about it more......
Edward himself also held his chest and waited for the other party to praise him, after all, the counterclaim for infringement may not be expected by ordinary lawyers......
Then, he and Larry Flint set a time to meet, well, at Solomon's behest.
Two days later, Edward and Solomon flew to Dalton to visit Larry Flint, where they met Mrs. Stapleton, who was preaching to him.
Mrs. Stapleton is a typical Methodist, dressed in a traditional plain suit, with a delicate lady's top hat, a lean and amiable face, and an affinity characteristic of an established person.
Larry introduced her to two of his lawyers......
Mrs. Stapleton greeted them very politely, and after a few pleasantries, Edward asked Larry Flint to provide some additional information to complete the legal formalities, and Larry said that the other two were sorry to be absent for a while, and both Solomon and Mrs. Stapleton said it was nothing......
About half an hour later, Solomon and Edward took their leave and left Larry's splendid mansion, full of art.
"Agreed?" Edward asked
"No, in fact, it's just a pleasantry." Solomon shrugged, "She and I both said that although the Larry house is luxurious, it is not suitable for those of us, there is gold leaf everywhere, even the bathroom, and the stimulation is too strong...... Moreover, I didn't expect to talk about anything this time, just to get to know each other...... By the way, talk about Larry, that's all"
"Yes......" These schemes, Edward didn't understand, but he felt that Solomon didn't need to lie to himself, after all, he was focusing on the presidential election in '76...... It's still early.
"By the way, Mrs. Stapleton has a good opinion of you, saying that you are quite clever......"
"Well, I think so too," Edward couldn't help but laugh.
"Everyone who knows about this case thinks so, except for Larry Parry," Solomon laughed as well.
"By the way, how do you think this case will end in the end?" Edward asked, saying that Solomon was experienced in this area and that it would not be wrong to ask him for advice.
"The end? Then it depends on whether Larry Parry is smart, if he is not stupid enough to go home, then it is time to ask someone to come over and pass the word, let Larry Flint apologize and lose some money, and give each other a step. ”
"Would Larry Flint agree?"
"Mostly, he's not really stupid, he's just a disguise, you won't be able to see it......"
"That's ......"
……
It turned out to be smoother than Solomon had predicted, but it was also more maddening.
Three days later, Larry Parry held a press conference and publicly announced that the complaint was withdrawn.
At the press conference, he tearfully stated that he had forgiven Larry Flint, and was ready to fly to Delton to ask for forgiveness, and finally made a small request: Larry Parry has always been a defender of free speech, so he can accept any statement from all quarters - whether it is good or incomprehensible for the time being, except for one thing that everyone is reluctant to abide by - and not to involve his family.
"Not family? I understand the reason, but this will lead to a decrease in attack power, and a sentence of Nima's death is enough to make normal people go crazy" Edward pouted.
To be honest, Larry Parry was completely incomprehensible to him, but he was shocked.
He couldn't have imagined that Larry Parry would choose to retreat on his own initiative, and it was he who was going to ask Larry Flint for forgiveness, this TMD world is too crazy!
You know, Larry Parry is the victim of this.
"Yes, I felt the inspiration of the Lord, who told me that the world is all brothers, that we are all children of the Lord with each other, that we have no bitter hatred, and that we were born in this great country for the sole purpose of building it better, making it a beacon and a home for mankind......"
Larry Parry was in tears and talked endlessly, which made Edward feel that the atmosphere was weird, but he had to admit that Larry Parry did have a hand in speech and sermon, and Edward was somewhat moved when he listened to it.
Just as he was moved and scolded Larry Parry for being too quick to receive more legal fees from Larry Flint, the phone rang.
"Hey, Ed, are you watching TV?" Party A's father has a loud throat.
"Yes...... What did Larry Parry say to you? He wondered what the two had negotiated so that Memphis would immediately admit it.
"That's exactly what I want to ask you! God, are you magical, and now that bastard is crying at the camera like he's just been asshole crushed by a couple of Marines, how the hell did you do that? And he said he was coming to Delton to seek my forgiveness? What can I forgive him? Will you put his eyes on the cover of the magazine next time? ”
……
……
……
Edward felt that he couldn't communicate with this father A, he was simply an automatic generator of foul language, as long as he wanted to even the most serious topic, he could instantly pull it to the next three ways, but let alone ...... These rhetorical devices are quite impressive.
He didn't have the heart to think about it that much, and from Larry Flint's words, Larry Parry didn't discuss it with either of them, and then directly confessed unilaterally?
Others thought it was an olive branch, and this one looked like he had come with an anal of olive oil......
The two stared at each other across the phone line.
They all thought that the other party had negotiated terms with Larry Parry, but the result was ......
Edward thought for a moment: "Larry, I'll hang up first"
"No, Ed," shouted on the other end of the phone, "that bastard is about to fly over, God, me, how am I going to talk to him?" Or take off your pants directly at him? I'm going to take off his pants, but there's absolutely no way I'm going to take a man's jb! ”
…… Women don't have JB either, Edward complained in his heart, and comforted him not to worry, Larry Parry couldn't come over right away, during this time, he could have prepared well.
After hanging up the phone, he left his small building, drove straight to Manhattan, and knocked on Solomon's office.
"Did you watch the news?" Ignoring the greetings, he asked directly.
"Do you mean Larry Parry's dismissal?"
"Yes, what the hell is going on? I feel like I can't breathe a little......"
"Quite simply, Larry Parry has people around him who understand, and I and Mrs. Stapleton have roughly deduced what this case will look like after that," Solomon said as he leaned back in his chair and said with a relaxed expression, "Mrs. Stapleton is a devout Catholic, and although she has no legal training, she has a great deal of wisdom, and I have only spoken for about two minutes, and it is evident that she has understood it all...... Apparently she exerted influence over Larry Parry through the church"
"Uh......" Edward scratched his head
"Now it's our turn to be passive," Solomon smiled bitterly, "This god stick is ...... to do things."
Edward continued, "No, we have to be careful about face in the crowd, they just need to face the Lord, and they don't have to think about face or anything......"
"That's right, but you speak like that as a Jew......"
"Aren't you," Edward pouted, "are you going to my grandfather's church on Yom Kippur this year?" ”
"You're extending an invitation to me? Ed, that's unusual. ”
"I really didn't like you at first, but I have to admit that I got a lot out of you, and if you really wanted to target me, I would be miserable, but you didn't...... At least you impress me in terms of professional knowledge and strength, my grandfather often warned me, don't ignore the kindness of others many times, everything in this world is not free, cherish kindness, maybe at a critical moment can kill you"
Edward shrugged, "Besides, are we still on the same race?" ”
"That's good, then I'll go to your grandfather's church this year"
"In a word, Mr. Blumensar, who presided over the festival last year, will also be there this year," said Edward
"Blumenthal?" Solomon was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, "GATT negotiator when President Johnson was there?" ”
"Yes, he has a bit of a connection to my family." Edward nodded, "After Nixon came to power, he resigned and is now the CEO of a large company. ”
"It's said that he has a good personal relationship with Carter, and I think you should be interested in talking to him."
"Eddard, you're really surprising me," Solomon patted him on the shoulder, a gesture of intimacy that would make the perpetrator less prestigious, so it was rarely used.
"Thanks, but you'll be the one who will be surprised, you know, when you throw a piece of sin paper into the fire, a few guys will choose to drop their notebooks - just like the B52 dropped bombs in Vietnam......"
Both of them burst out laughing at the same time
"Just, what about Larry Flint?" Edward asked
"Well, he's not stupid either, and he should know that it's best to close the matter at this time...... You suggest that he donate some money to the Methodist side, at least more than 100,000 dollars, the more the better, if you can't get it out at once, you can pay it in installments, but when it comes to it, you have to do it...... As for who exactly to donate to, and how, let him ask Mrs. Stapleton to go. ”
"That's not a small number, Larry Flint is rich, but ......"
"You just tell him that maybe in a while his magazine will be able to go to the South, and he will not hesitate to sign the check......
"How much power is the church?" Edward gasped
"The church isn't stupid, they need money, they need fresh blood, and that kind of stupid guy like Larry Parry can take it seriously, but, then again, the United States needs this stupid guy, because if it weren't for these stupid guys, Eddard, smart people like you and me would have tossed this country up in an instant...... So it's also a kind of check, and smart people have to bow to fools when necessary. ”
"In this way, the fool can get encouragement and benefits to continue to live happily, and we have nothing to lose, but can prompt us to reflect on how to delay the arrival of the next bow, and rest and rest by the way......"
"Okay" Edward finally understood the way to play, shrugged and walked away.
