"If there is no objection to this on either side, then I declare ......"

"Please wait a minute, Your Excellency Joseph, I have some points of view that I would like to share with you."

Seeing that he was about to become a melon-eating crowd with no sense of participation, Gleilint spoke up in time.

The reason why I waited until the end to speak was not to pretend to be forced. It's just that Glelint was afraid that his defense would fail, and he would interfere with Benedict.

Now there are not so many worries! At worst, the verdict will be upheld.

It's your own credit if you win the debate, and you don't have to take the blame if you lose, after all, barrister Benedict is not wrong, right?

"Oh? Do you have any different opinions? ”

Joseph was quite curious about this, although he had already made a judgment in his heart just now, he always had a feeling of being coerced by Jason, which was quite uncomfortable.

However, the current situation is, "If you don't agree that the compensation should be raised, that means you are not merciful and not a gentleman." ”

This is called conceptual bundling.

"Yes, Lord Joseph."

Gleilint said yes, then paused to organize the language.

"I think Mr. Patton should be acquitted and not have to pay any compensation."

"What?"

"How can this be?"

It was not the opposing lawyer Jason and the plaintiff Eller who raised their doubts, but a middle-aged woman in the audience.

"Quiet! This lady. ”

"Mr. Mariano, please continue with your statement."

Joseph tapped heavily on the table, motioning for Glerint to continue.

Normally, the lawyer who conducts the defense can only be the main defense, and the paralegal can only provide assistance, and is not qualified to defend.

But who made this a nobleman?

Not yet an ordinary lord, but a viscount lord who is more noble than both from barons and barons.

The other party's speech has a reference value that he must pay attention to.

From the bottom of his heart, Glerint didn't like this privilege, even though he was now a beneficiary.

"First, I think Attorney Jason's allegations are too unreasonable."

"For example, now I'm sending a letter, and then the postman falls into the Tasok River and drowns in the process of delivering the letter."

"According to you, is it also possible to assume that the postman died in the process of 'carrying out my mission'? So am I also to blame for this? Obviously this doesn't make sense. ”

"Second, since you can say, 'The circumstances are unclear, and the possibility of Patton directing the murder cannot be ruled out.' Can I also say that 'the circumstances are unclear and the possibility of Brenda's premeditated murder cannot be ruled out', so that Mr. Patton should not be held liable for any guilt and damages. ”

His words were neither fast nor slow, and his words were clear and loud.

"Most importantly, I believe that the trial and judgment are based on law, not morality."

"The law tells us that 'a criminal without evidence is innocent,' and it's easy to judge, and Mr. Patton really shouldn't be held guilty."

"Human nature and morality are inherently sympathetic to the weak and the victim, but the law seeks the truth."

"The law is the lowest moral requirement for man, and the gentleman is the higher moral requirement for man."

"Under the law, Mr. Patton is not guilty of guilt and is not liable for monetary damages. As for morality, it should not be what we demand from him. ”

Crackling......

There was a moment of silence, followed by thunderous applause.

At the same time, however, Glerint didn't smile much, he only felt a small amount of the "lawyer" potion being digested, which was quite faint!

I won......

Glerint was quite puzzled by this, isn't the core of a lawyer to argue and win?

After a long time, Joseph finally suppressed the warm atmosphere of the scene, and he jokingly said to Gleilint:

"It doesn't seem that I need to judge, the wise are always naturally willing to accept the cleansing of truth."

Then, he tapped on the table and solemnly pronounced the verdict:

"I declare Mr. Patton not guilty and released him on the spot."

"This is the end of this case, and the plaintiff and the defendant must not continue to entangle, but reserve the right of both parties to appeal."

This is mainly due to the fact that Brenda has not yet been caught, and things may change in other ways.

Originally, Barton was willing to pay 800 pounds to Eyler as a sign of sympathy and comfort.

Now I found that the other party not only did not appreciate it, but also tried to continue to blackmail himself more, and even did not hesitate to charge "instigated murder".

Of course, he will no longer pretend to be generous, and simply not give a penny.

He was just an ordinary rich man, and he originally made his fortune in a poor family. Therefore, he doesn't particularly care if others say that he is a gentleman enough.

But if it is a nobleman, it will not work, and tolerance and kindness are necessary virtues......

"Thank you, Attorney Benedict, and, Attorney Glerint. You are a brilliant lawyer with sharp words. ”

Barton did not reach out to his own family first.

As a shrewd businessman, he wanted to go over and express his gratitude first.

On the one hand, it is a human sophistication, and on the other hand, it is due to his merchant instinct to make friends with talented people.

Benedict was a little embarrassed by this, as he was a full-fledged defence barrister, he didn't play a real role, and in the end he had to rely on Glerint to save the day.

"No, you really owe it to the Lord Viscount Mariano."

"You...... Are you a noble Viscount? Oh, please forgive me for being rude, sir. ”

Barton's reaction was exaggerated, and Glerint was embarrassed.

In addition, he is not playing well at this time, and it is a time for depression and reflection, so his tone is quite cold.

"Yes, if nothing matters, I'm going to leave first."

"Lawyer Benedict, I hope to have this opportunity to cooperate with you in the future, and I hope you can notify me when you have a case and it is convenient for you to observe me, thank you."

Benedict was puzzled by Glerint's attitude toward Barton, but agreed to his request.

As a wealthy aristocrat, Gleilynt did not lack the income from a lawyer's defense.

It wasn't even necessary to be paid by Benedict like a normal paralegal, so giving Glerint a seat on the bench had little to no effect on him.

Barton, however, felt that the Viscount Glerint was particularly difficult to get along with......

As everyone knows, Glerint just thinks that after this matter is over, he and he will not have any communication, so why waste each other's time.

In addition, he only digested a little bit of the potion, and his mood was indeed not very good.

After Glerint had left, he asked Benedict rather depressedly, "Am I being rude?" Or has this Viscount's character always been like this? ”

And Benedict was actually curious about Glerint's attitude after all, and it was clear that he was fine when he debated before......

"I don't know much about that, well, he's a friend of Hibbert. It was Hibbert who recommended it to me, and I don't know why he suddenly became interested in becoming a lawyer as a viscount. ”

"I've only had contact with him twice, and one of them is today, Mr. Patton."

But what he didn't say was that, judging from the two contacts, Gleilynt was actually quite kind, and did not have the arrogance of the nobility.

"Well, maybe I'll have to find a chance to thank him officially."
