Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Chapter 168 A defense that can be included in the textbook (plus updates for everyone’s monthly vote

When Hugo saw the reaction at the scene, he secretly exclaimed: "Oops!"

Hobert cleverly used Arnold's previous momentum to establish that Arnold had ulterior motives for making the situation worse, so that it would be difficult to lead the issue to class conflict.

In the second round of defense, Hobert once again achieved a small victory. After two consecutive small victories, the plaintiff already had a huge advantage.

Then the third round of debate began. Barrister Hugo decisively adjusted the direction of the defense again, once again stripping Arnold of his responsibility in this matter on the basis that he did not participate in specific management.

Hobert's defense was also very simple: Since Arnold was not responsible, why did he make this matter known to the entire Backlund? This is obviously downplaying one's own responsibilities and deliberately evading responsibility.

At this time, Arnold already regretted making this case known to everyone. He also couldn't figure out why it had become his incriminating evidence in Hobert's case. It was supposed to be his advantage.

During the fourth round of arguments, Barrister Hugo simply gave up the defense and began to bargain with Hobert, discussing compensation and trying his best to avoid Arnold being criminally responsible.

According to common sense, work-related injury compensation is actually a civil dispute. Only if it causes adverse effects or a huge accident occurs, you will be held legally responsible.

Therefore, Barrister Hugo achieved certain results in defending Arnold from criminal liability.

At around 11 o'clock in the morning, after a lengthy defense, the judge pronounced that Bob was injured and disabled because of Arnold's inaction. The defendant Arnold needed to compensate Bob for a lump sum of 860 pounds and pay Hobert 52 pounds and 6 sous. Le's attorney's fees, totaling 912 pounds 6 sole. Arnold did not commit the crime of intentional injury, so he was not criminally responsible. He ordered his factory to write safety production slogans and conduct safety production training for employees.

This high-profile “workers’ compensation case” ultimately ended in victory for the plaintiff.

A professor from the Backlund Law Department who came to listen said to the students around him: "This is definitely a defense that can be included in the textbook! From a civil case at the beginning to a criminal case, and from a criminal case to a social case cases, and then from social cases to cases that require Arnold to be personally responsible.

"At every turn, I saw Hobert's wisdom and the fierce competition between the defendant and the plaintiff. Classmates, this is a very vivid defense class. Hobert's defense tells us: many times the opponent's advantage It’s not scary, on the contrary, the opponent’s advantages are tools that can be exploited by us.”

Mike Joseph, a reporter from the "Daily Observer" on the side, wrote down the professor's words completely in his sketchbook.

In the auditorium, more people cheered: "Backlund's justice has won!"

"Long live justice!"

"The light of justice shines on Backlund again!"

"..."

Of course, those who led the chants were also people hired by Hobert.

This is the reward he prepared for Audrey and Gray Lint. For them, there is no better reward than receiving feedback from people for their efforts.

Hobert glanced at Audrey and Gray Lint, and sure enough he saw Audrey's face flushed with excitement, and Gray Lint also showed a satisfied smile.

Give them money, or even magical items, and they won't be so satisfied.

After Hobert and Attorney Hugo agreed on a specific time for compensation, he took Bob out of the plaintiff's seat.

Reporters immediately gathered around: "Mr. Hobert, how do you feel now?"

"Mr. Hobert, what efforts have you made for today's victory?"

"Mr. Hobert..."

Hobert raised his hand a little tiredly: "I'm sorry everyone, the defense just now has made me feel a little tired. If you want to interview, please come to the Aslan Barton Law Firm in the afternoon, and I will Be interviewed by everyone at that time.”

So the reporters immediately changed the interviewees: "Mr. Bob, how do you plan to spend the compensation?"

"Are you satisfied with the compensation amount?"

"..."

Hobert raised his hand again: "Sorry, my client is not ready for the interview..."

"No, Mr. Lawyer." Bob suddenly said: "I want to tell everyone, yes, I must tell everyone that I met a good lawyer."

As he spoke, Bob burst into tears: "Before I met Attorney Hobert, no lawyer was willing to take my case. Just when I was at my most desperate, just when I was about to accept Arnold's compensation like a charity. , Lawyer Hobert appeared.

"He, he made me regain my dignity as a human being..."

Bob cried excitedly: "As long as there are lawyers like Hobert, Backlund has hope!"

The newspaper reporters quickly wrote down this sentence, and the sketch artist also wrote hard to record this scene.

Current photography technology still has certain flaws. Characters have to remain motionless and maintain an action for a long time to complete the photography process. Therefore, newspapers basically hire sketchers to record classic scenes and match them with the text of the newspaper. among.

After squeezing Bob through the crowd onto the carriage, Hobert smiled and waved to everyone when he got on the carriage, which in turn caused the sketchers to write furiously.

To them, it was a triumphant salute.

After the carriage began to move forward, Hobert finally relaxed, and then he felt a high degree of harmony between his spirituality and his physical body.

Today's victory in the lawsuit allowed him to perfectly complete his performance again. He planned to take the "briber" potion tonight.

Thomas and Ikanser were also in the carriage, and the two captains congratulated Hobert on his victory.

With this case as a case study, other workers will be able to claim more reasonable compensation when they suffer disabling work-related injuries.

Hobert first thanked them for their congratulations, and then said to Ikanser: "You have to find a way to change Bob's identity and a place to live, otherwise he will be easily targeted by robbers or thieves."

Ikanser nodded: "Leave it to me, we will protect Bob."

Hobert smiled and said to Bob: "You will follow Captain Ikanser in a moment and prepare to welcome your new life!"

Bob held Hobert's hand: "Mr. Lawyer, I, I don't even know how to thank you."

Hobert said meaningfully: "I also want to thank you, because I have gained a lot and touched a lot from this case."

Back at the law office, after Hobert rested for an hour or two, the reporters arrived as scheduled.

Of course, Hobert knows the role of public opinion and answers every reporter's question patiently. Even if some of the questions are tricky, no matter how tricky the reporters' questions are, they are still no match for Hobert.

It wasn't until about four o'clock in the afternoon that Hobert saw off the last reporter. He stretched and his work for the day was finally over.

However, because the potion was further integrated with his body, he did not feel too tired.

So after chatting with Barton for a while, he returned to the rental house. Xio and Forsi left a note, and they went to the bar to celebrate today's victory.

Hobert came to his room, prayed to himself, and obtained the extraordinary characteristics of the "briber" that had been reassembled, and went to Gal's Herbal Shop to buy the necessary auxiliary materials.

He returned to his home in Queens with all the ingredients for the potion, and according to his agreement with Christine, he had to talk to Christine before drinking the potion.
