1993: In court...confession? ! (3 More)

Kissinger's answer was directed at Eric's question.

In the lawsuit, the plaintiff is on the offensive side. Since the defendant is suing, it is natural to provide evidence and witnesses. The defendant is the defending party and tries to refute the evidence.

Kissinger presented the commission agreement signed by Mrs. Wilson and gmp firm in court.

What's so special about this delegation agreement? It appointed Xia Xiaolan as the project leader.

"Thank you for your cooperation!"

The terms of the entrustment agreement are very beneficial to Xia Xiaolan.

Because of the special request of the client, Xia Xiaolan was in charge of the renovation of the theater as an intern, while Lisa was only an assistant assigned to Xia Xiaolan by gmp.

Lisa's attorney, Miles, disputed Kissinger's testimony:

"According to the U.S. architect's practice regulations, the intern of the firm is not qualified as a registered architect, and she cannot act as the person in charge of such a project. The firm's partner Kissinger violated the architect's professional regulations out of consideration for his interests. ..."

Kissinger pursed his lips.

At that time, he really did not let Xia Xiaolan be the person in charge because he was optimistic about Xia Xiaolan, but the client appointed Xia Xiaolan. In order to keep the business, he played this edge ball.

Xia Xiaolan is not a registered architect. She wants to make major renovations to the interior of the building, and the plan must be signed by the registered architect.

That's what Lisa's existence means.

damn it--

"Objection, the question has nothing to do with this case!"

It is believed that Kissinger violated the architect's practice regulations, and a separate case should be filed to sue Kissinger. Today, it is a copyright lawsuit.

Eric could not have allowed Kissinger to be attacked like this.

"The objection is valid."

Thankfully, the judge stood by him.

Miles will take it as soon as he sees it.

Going around, he asked a few questions that made Kissinger embarrassed.

What does this bullshit do?

Attacking Kissinger's own integrity makes his testimony implausible.

Xia Xiaolan took out the original manuscript, and Lisa also had the original manuscript.

The "original draft" submitted by the two people has been identified and the creation time is similar. This identification technology, based on the aging of the paper and the changes in the ink of the notes, can identify an approximate time, but it cannot really be accurate to which day.

Who comes first?

The family members can observe, but they are forbidden to speak. Liu Fen and others are also in court, but they are also secretly anxious.

Liu Fen is the most anxious. Her English is not good enough. She can understand very simple daily conversations, which involves looking at professional vocabulary.

She could only guess based on the expressions of Hu Ying, Professor Wen and others.

Hu Ying was anxious, and Liu Fen followed suit.

Liu Fen's eyes fell on her daughter again. Xia Xiaolan was in the plaintiff's seat, but she was very calm.

Xia Xiaolan was not so arrogant as to contempt the court, and when it was time to be obedient, she would never be stupid.

No matter how strong the performance is, you have to endure it. Since you trust Eric, you will hand over the trial to Eric. If there is a need, someone will naturally ask the plaintiff to ask questions.

Lisa was also calm.

It seems so.

For today, Lisa did a lot of psychological rehearsal, and at first she felt guilty when she admitted that it was her work in front of the aia jury.

She has spoken too many times in panic. She said on TV shows that the reporter who interviewed her said that she had also exercised a very thick skin.

Xia Xiaolan looked away.

The court trial is like this, one attack and one defense, the lawyers of both sides have come and gone.

After Kissinger, the second witness, Matthew.

Matthew, as another intern and a participant in the 'theatre renovation project', testified in court that Xia Xiaolan was the absolute creator of the project:

"She was young, but she led me and Lisa in this work."

"The plan was proposed by her, designed by her, and she asked Lisa and I if there was anything to add, and Lisa said no."

"Have you seen Lisa's original design? No, Lisa is more responsible for on-site supervision."

After Eric finished his questions, Lisa's attorney, Miles, asked questions.

This complaining stick is too shameless, and his question caused the members of the jury to look at each other.

"Matthew Carlton, you and the plaintiff studied at Cornell University's School of Architecture together. Did you have contact during your school days? I noticed that you both participated in a design competition sponsored by the Wilson Hotel for Cornell's School of Architecture."

Have you been in touch with your classmates?

Participating in the competition together can be regarded as contact.

Matthew's face is not very good, Xia Xiaolan took the first place, he and Jonathan and others did not cooperate well, only took the third place, what is there to mention.

"Yes, there is contact-"

&np Office Internship, have you ever helped each other? "

"Yes."

Could it be said in court that he once wished that Xia Xiaolan's performance was a little bit worse, so that he could stand out?

Miles smiled, "Matthew Carlton, you and the plaintiff are classmates and colleagues, and get along with such a beautiful Chinese girl day and night, can you not help being attracted to her and have a good impression of her...please Answer me, do you like the accuser?"

"Objection! The question has nothing to do with this case!"

Eric already knew what Miles was going to do.

This time, the judge did not know what he was thinking.

Back to Eric's objection:

"The objection is invalid, and the witnesses are asked to answer the questions of the defendant's lawyer."

All eyes were on Matthew.

Including Xia Xiaolan.

Matthew's face turned red.

"Matthew Carlton, you have sworn that all your testimony is true. Please answer my question. During your work together, were you attracted to the plaintiff and fell in love with the plaintiff?"

Those who have sworn shall not testify against perjury or lie.

"……Yes."

It's over, this sly lawyer, Matthew wants to slap himself a few times. He never thought of confessing, let alone confessing in court! He doesn't plan to confess his whole life, he just wants to be better than Xia Xiaolan, well, he has a bit of a strong mentality.

Matthew bowed his head in shame, and he fell into the lawyer's trap.

"I--"

"Your Majesty, I have finished my question."

Miles decisively stopped the questioning.

The jury is buzzing.

The plaintiff, Xia Xiaolan, presented two witnesses in a row. Kissinger, a partner of a gmp firm, was questioned by Miles that there was a big problem with his professional ethics.

The other was Matthew Carlton, who was questioned by Miles in court that Matthew had an admiration for Xia Xiaolan.

The motives of these two people's testimony, their testimony, can they still form a complete chain of evidence?

What the judges will think, what will the jury think.

Xia Xiaolan herself was very surprised. The lawyer Lisa hired is indeed a lawyer who often fights lawsuits for people in the entertainment industry. Can copyright lawsuits be cut from the relationship between men and women? Is it the logic that Matthew is willing to testify in court because he has a good impression of her?

——Why does Matthew have a crush on her?

The Steel Girl is in deep confusion.

Matthew, a scheming boy, didn't he always want to grab her chance?

Later, when I got close to her, and after being beaten by her, the weak chicken was in awe of the big guy. At what stage is the "like", please forgive Xia Xiaolan's blindness, I really didn't see it... I treat you as a brother , you confessed to me in court? !
