American Comics Reward Order
Chapter 22 Court!
In fact, even without Lewis buying the [-]-cent Party to build momentum, this lawsuit has attracted the attention of many people.
After all, the prosecutor is a dignified British noble, and the defendant is one of the largest military industrial companies in the United States.
So outside the court, various reporters and passers-by also came to watch.
The scene was quite lively.
Many of them have ulterior motives and want to know why a billionaire and a legend in the grave digging industry are litigating over an ancient tomb.
Like Laika, they felt that there was treasure in the tomb.
Norman Osborne did not appear in court.
Firstly, Laura sued the Osborne Group instead of Norman himself. Secondly, he didn't even bother to attend such a small lawsuit that was sure to win.
His attorney arrived early, and when he saw Lewis and Laura, he immediately looked like he was sure to eat you.
"Who is he?" Laura asked with squinted eyes as she saw the lawyer staring at her lecherously.
After Lewis saw the man's face clearly, he was shocked at first, and then full of disgust.
"His name is Trevor Tanner. He is a disgrace to the legal profession. He is best at turning felonies into misdemeanors, misdemeanors into innocence, and innocence into felonies."
To put it simply, he is the American version of the 'Mirror of Absurdity'.
Unexpectedly, Norman lost Louis' Pearson Specter law firm and found such an unscrupulous lawyer to replace him.
"Is this guy great?"
Lewis swallowed: "It's okay...a little worse than me."
In fact, looking at the entire legal profession, the only one who can definitely win Trevor is Louis' arrogant colleague.
This battle will be tougher than imagined.
When Laura passed by Trevor, she deliberately bumped her hip hard against his...
"Ouch, it hurts...I just like it~~~"
Trevor covered his thighs and smiled at Louis: "I was disappointed when I heard that it was you and not Harvey Spector who came."
"Indeed, because I will humiliate you even worse."
Louis stared hard at Trevor, "Are you ready to be baptized by the fire of the law?"
Trevor frowned fiercely: "You don't think you can win a losing case with hundreds of supporters shouting slogans in the audience, do you?"
Louis shrugged: "At least the jury wouldn't dare to arbitrarily decide that you won just because they charged you hundreds of thousands of dirty money."
"Well... they really don't dare, but I just need them to give a fair verdict. You know in your heart that the ancient tomb has no relic value at all."
In order not to dig out the things in the ancient tombs, it is necessary to prove that these things have relic value. To prove that these things have relic value, they must be dug out and looked at.
This is a complete paradox.
Therefore, no one is optimistic about Laura's chances of winning.
After a pause, Trevor lowered his voice and then said provocatively, "Also, they didn't charge hundreds of thousands, but millions."
"That's really embarrassing. Your boss has lost millions, but I sincerely hope that after we win the case, he will still pay your legal fees."
After saying the cruel words, Lewis twisted his butt and walked back to Laura.
In fact, I feel very guilty.
"How are you? Are you confident?" Laura asked.
Lewis straightened his waist: "Full of confidence!"
time up.
Court is in session!
First, the opening statement.
Louis strode up to the jury, twitched his nose a little, and suddenly began to burst into tears.
With snot and tears, the ragged patterns on the surface of the Alaskan tombs are described as human cultural treasures, like pyramids and terracotta warriors.
This pattern is the only relic-like thing that can be obtained from the Alaskan Tombs...
In fact, Louis himself didn't know that the pattern was actually the trace left by the Asgardians when they came to the earth on the Rainbow Bridge.
Of course, the jury didn't even know it. They took photos of the pattern and frowned.
This thing... is a cultural treasure?
It looks worse than the crop circles found everywhere in the United States.
Even if they didn't take any dirty money, they wouldn't think this pattern has cultural relic value.
No matter how much Louis talks, he can't change their minds.
To be honest, Louis himself didn’t believe his lies.
Trevor was unmoved at all and just listened quietly. When he made his opening statement, he was still smiling, which was in stark contrast to Louis.
"Louis, Laura, or any of the cultural relics protectionists here, as long as you can ask me a question, I will plead guilty immediately!"
Trevor raised his eyebrows, "What's in this ancient tomb?"
Silent.
Laura saw Trevor staring at her and wanted to tell the secret.
But she can't tell.
Although Norman is crazy, he still resorts to litigation in this matter.
Of course, this is also because he must get permission from the US government and knows that this lawsuit is bound to win.
But if word of this gets out, those dictators, careerists, lunatics... and even the U.S. government itself will have their own plans.
By then, the lawsuit was moot.
After a while, Laura shook her head: "I don't know exactly what is in this ancient tomb, but it's just based on a legend from Nordic mythology..."
"Legend? Sorry, legends cannot be used as evidence in court."
Trevor looked confident, "Can I understand that you yourself don't believe that the ancient tomb has heritage value?"
"Objection!" Louis roared as a professional lawyer, "Your honor, the defense lawyer is making groundless speculation!"
"The objection is invalid." The judge who received the money said lazily, "According to what Miss Crawford just said, she is indeed using legends to replace facts."
Trevor raised his eyebrows at Louis, looking like a winner.
"Miss Crawford, I have a way to help you find out whether the ancient tomb has heritage value. That is to dig out the contents and take a look."
Laura got angry: “You mean, in order to prove that the things inside can’t be dug out, we have to dig it out first?”
"That's what I mean."
Trevor jerked his waist towards Laura, "Of course, if you dig it out and look at it, oh, it does have cultural relic value, I will be willing to put it back carefully."
The task Norman gave him was to dig out the contents of the ancient tomb by any means necessary, without saying that he could not put them back later.
To be precise, the rest of the matter is not up to Trevor.
As soon as these words came out, many staunch supporters in the audience suddenly lost some confidence.
If the Osborne Group can really do this, it seems acceptable.
"Your Honor, my opening statement has concluded."
After that, Trevor returned to his seat amidst the boos.
"Silence, silence!" The judge knocked the hammer.
"Louis, according to the information you provided, you are not prepared to provide witness or physical evidence to prove that the ancient tomb has cultural relic value, right?"
Lewis shook his head: "No, your honor."
"Trevor, what about you?"
Trevor shook his head: "They want to prove what is in the tomb, but I don't need to prove that there is nothing in the tomb."
"Then...since both sides have no other evidence, I will ask the jury to deliberate and pronounce the verdict three days later."
According to today's court hearing...you can guess the verdict with your toes...
Louis glanced back quickly.
Laika, it's your turn.
