Jerry Hogarth was a fledgling lawyer, not a sociologist. With her vision, she could not see that the country under her feet was rapidly entering an aging era.
She did not pay attention to this problem, but she was a person with higher education after all. She had enough vision. After in-depth investigation, she realized that once the pension issue was triggered, it would be a social problem.
This would attract the attention of everyone, from the judge to the cleaner in the court. No one did not care about their pension issue. The more people paid attention to it, the more famous she would be. Winning or losing was not important. Of course, it was better to win.
After she finished her words, the judge and the clerk did not move, but the social people on the jury were moved.
Next, the defendant's lawyer spoke, and the other party's answer was very official.
What needed to be handled at discretion, what re-examination took time, completely denied the plaintiff's accusation, and was extremely firm that he was not wrong.
Jerry Hogarth asked the defendant's client many questions as usual, and the other party answered flawlessly, obviously after being instructed.
"Be careful, try to be cautious in your answer."
Next, the defendant's lawyer asked Bella, the plaintiff's client, Jerry Hogarth whispered.
In fact, she was unsure. Bella was too young, and she was too young. If she was dealing with an ordinary company, it would be almost impossible to lose this case.
But what is the size of Stark Industries? A multinational group! There are hundreds of lawyers in the group's legal department, and they fight lawsuits all over the world every day. Even several law school professors that Jerry Hogarth knows are providing legal advice to Stark Industries. They are familiar with the laws of countries around the world and can turn black into white. Their fighting power is not ordinary.
She is a little unsure about Bella's ability to respond, but at this time she can only wait for the other party to make a move.
The defendant's lawyer is tall and thin, with a dignified temperament, decent clothes, and a face of a white elite.
He has fought similar lawsuits too many times. He really doesn't take the combination of Bella and Hogarth seriously. He can trap the other party with just a few simple language traps.
He adjusted the cufflinks on his sleeves, stood up, and walked to the plaintiff's side: "I want to ask the plaintiff's client a few questions, you..."
He met a pair of dazzling eyes, with so many emotions in his eyes that he couldn't distinguish them carefully. At a certain moment, he even thought he saw God, everything was so sacred! Such a righteous look, can I slander it out of thin air?
When the words came to his lips, he was stuck directly. You, you said for a long time. After the big-bearded judge also showed a puzzled expression, he stammered and asked: "You, you didn't lie, did you?"
Bella was very frank: "I didn't lie."
The big-bearded judge almost threw the hammer in his hand. What the hell! You, a three-year-old child wouldn't answer this question truthfully!
The jury members were also a little confused. Such an honest defendant lawyer is really rare in a thousand years!
The defendant's lawyer also knew that he asked a stupid question. He desperately told himself to be calm and composed, and tried to adjust his state back.
Obviously he had a lot of questions, but he just couldn't keep his mouth shut: "How old are you?"
"Seventeen."
"Oh, so young, it's good to be young. Well, you didn't take any money when you made the complaint, did you?"
"Of course not, not a penny. I did it completely out of public interest."
"That's great, that's great. You weren't bewitched or instigated by anyone, were you?"
Bella said righteously: "Of course not!"
This way of questioning made the bearded judge and the two clerks dumbfounded. In all these years of working, this was the first time they had seen such a harmonious relationship between the defendant's lawyer and the plaintiff's client! What is this? This is a victory for the rule of law, this is the brilliance of humanity!
The defendant's client was stunned.
Where is the dirty water you promised to throw? You can ask about power-for-money transactions and power-for-sex transactions! Ask if there is a mastermind behind the scenes and how much money the other party received! First muddy the water and nail the other party to the moral pillar of shame!
Not caring about anything shocking, when his lawyer questioned the plaintiff's client, the defendant's client stood up and shouted, "Your Honor, I object!"
The bearded judge also wiped the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, you shouted your objection. If you didn't, I would have asked someone to kick your lawyer out!
What kind of questions are you asking?
Have you eaten? Are you happy studying in school? Which university are you going to go to? These questions should be asked in court?
The bearded judge was old and had long passed the age when the law was sacred and inviolable. He had seen too many things and too many people in the court. Today's situation was a bit strange, but it was still within his understanding. He looked at Bella and lawyer Hogarth.
Bella's eyes were filled with an inexplicable look, and she looked honest and selfless!
Looking at Miss Hogarth again, she was not bad in appearance, but the sharpness between her eyebrows and the stubbornness at the corners of her mouth showed that she was very strong and would do anything to achieve her goals.
The bearded judge came to his own conclusion. This female lawyer was ruthless! She must have secretly caught some handles on the other lawyer, which led to this funny scene in the court.
He didn't care whether the defendant's lawyer would make a fool of himself or lose his job, but he had to maintain order in the court.
"Bang Bang" knocked the hammer twice in a row, signaling the defendant's lawyer to return to his seat.
Mechanically returning to his seat, the defendant's lawyer was suddenly stunned. God! What was I doing just now? Where was I? Who am I?
He subconsciously glanced at Bella again, confused, hesitant, happy, until he showed an expression of licking a dog. In less than three seconds, Bella turned her head and stopped looking at him. He then withdrew his gaze in dismay.
"Ah," he sighed, attracting the angry glare of the defendant's client.
Are you on my side? The middle-aged man, whose actual position is the assistant manager of Stark Industries' Phoenix branch, was filled with anger.
His reaction was also very fast, and he also came to the conclusion that his lawyer was secretly threatened by the other party. This kind of thing is not new in the court. Today is not the first case, and it will not be the last.
He covered his chest and stood up tremblingly, saying that he had the disease of "I will die if I don't adjourn the court today"!
The bearded judge was happy to pretend to be confused, and immediately dropped the hammer and adjourned the court!
"How did you do it?"
Coming out of the court, Jerry Hogarth couldn't help but lower his voice and asked Bella.
Then she said as if asking herself: "Do you have some evidence of the defendant's lawyer? So he made such an abnormal reaction?"
