Mystery: Order and Disorder

"If both parties have no objection to this, then I declare..."

"Please wait a moment, Your Excellency Joseph, I have some opinions that I would like to share with you."

Seeing that he was about to become a melon eater with no sense of participation, Grelint spoke up in time.

The reason why I waited until the end to speak is not to pretend. It's just that Grelint was afraid of failing to defend himself, and instead interfered with Benedict.

Now there are not so many worries! The worst is to uphold the original verdict.

If you win the debate, it is your own credit. If you lose, you don't have to take the blame. After all, barrister Benedict can't do the same, right?

"Oh? Do you have a different opinion?"

Joseph was quite curious about this. Although he had already made a decision in his heart just now, he always felt like he was being coerced by Jason, which made him quite uncomfortable.

However, the current situation is, "You don't agree that the compensation should be increased, which means that you lack kindness and are not a gentleman."

This is called concept bundling.

"Yes, Your Excellency Joseph."

Grelint affirmed, then paused for a while to organize the language.

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

"what?"

"How is this possible?"

It was not the opponent's lawyer Jason and the plaintiff Eller who questioned, but a middle-aged woman in the audience.

"Quiet! This lady."

"Mr. Mariano, please continue your statement."

Joseph tapped the table heavily, motioning for Grelint to continue.

Generally speaking, the lawyer who defends can only be the main defender, and the paralegal can only provide assistance and does not have the qualification to defend.

But who made this noble?

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

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

Grelint doesn't like this privilege from the bottom of his heart, even though he is the beneficiary now.

"The first point, I think Jason's lawyer's allegations are too unreasonable."

"For example, now I send a letter, and then the postman fell into the Tussock River and drowned in the process of delivering the letter."

"According to what you said, can it also be considered that the postman died in the process of 'performing my mission'? Then should I be responsible for this? Obviously this is not reasonable."

"Second point, since you can say 'the specific circumstances are unclear, the possibility of Patton's murder is not ruled out'. Then can I also say 'the specific circumstances are unclear, the possibility of deliberate murder by Brenda is not ruled out', something like this Mr. Barton should not bear any guilt and compensation."

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

"The most important thing is that I think the basis of the trial and the judgment is the law, not the moral."

"The law tells us 'a criminal without evidence is innocent', which is easy to judge, and Mr. Barton really should not be held responsible."

"Humanity and morality naturally sympathize with the weak and victims, but the law pursues the truth."

"The law is the lowest moral requirement for people, while the gentleman is the higher moral requirement for people."

"According to the law, Mr. Barton should not be held responsible, nor should he bear monetary compensation. As for morality, it should not be our requirement of him."

crackling crackling...

There was a moment of silence in the venue, and then the applause sounded like thunder.

At the same time, however, Grelint did not smile much. He only felt a small amount of the "lawyer" potion being digested, quite weak!

I won the debate...

Grelint is quite puzzled by this. Isn't the core of a lawyer's purpose to refute the opponent and win?

After a long time, Joseph finally suppressed the warm atmosphere at the scene, and he joked to Grelint:

"It seems that I don't need to make a judgment. The wise are always willing to accept the washing of truth."

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

"I declare that Mr. Barton is innocent and released in court."

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

This is mainly because Brenda has not been caught yet, and there may be other changes in things.

Originally, Patton was willing to pay 800 pounds to Elle 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 extort more, even at the expense of "instructing murder".

Of course he won't pretend to be generous anymore, he won't give a penny at all.

He is just an ordinary rich man, who originally made his fortune from a poor family. So I don't really care if others judge him to be a gentleman enough.

But if you are a noble, you can't do this. Tolerance and kindness are the virtues that must be possessed...

"Thank you, Attorney Benedict, and Attorney Grelint. You are an excellent lawyer with wisdom and sharp words."

Barton didn't contact his family first.

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

On the one hand, this is due to the sophistication of the world, and on the other hand, it is due to his businessman's instinct to make friends with talented people.

Benedict felt a little embarrassed about this. As a real defense lawyer, he did not play a substantial role. In the end, he had to rely on Grelint to save the game.

"No, it is the Viscount Mariano that you should really thank."

"You... are you a distinguished viscount? Oh, please forgive my rudeness, sir."

Barton's reaction was quite exaggerated, making Grelint embarrassed.

In addition, his performance is not good at this moment, which is the time of depression and reflection, so his tone is rather cold.

"Yes, if there is nothing urgent, I will leave first."

"Lawyer Benedict, I hope to have such an opportunity to cooperate with you in the future. I hope you can inform me when you have a case and it is convenient for you to sit in on me. Thank you."

Benedict was puzzled by Grelint's attitude towards Patton, but he still agreed to his request.

As a wealthy nobleman, Grelint does not lack the income of a lawyer's defense.

Benedict doesn't even need to be paid like a normal paralegal, so giving Grelint a spot on the sidelines makes little difference to him.

But Barton felt that the Viscount Grelint was extremely difficult to get along with...

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

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

After Grelint left, he asked Benedict rather dejectedly, "Am I rude? Or is this Viscount His Excellency always like this?"

And Benedict is actually curious about Grelint's attitude after all, obviously he was fine during the debate before...

"I'm not quite sure about this. Well, he is Hibbert's friend. Hibbert 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 two contacts with him, and one of them was today, Mr. Barton."

But what he didn't say was that, from the two contacts, Grelint was actually quite kind, and he didn't have that kind of aristocratic arrogance.

"Well, maybe I have to find a chance to formally thank him again."
