Key Points of Chapter 9
Once again, Father Harmon stated in court that he had falsely accused Moore, and the reasons for it
In fact, from the perspective of the client, Mo Er, Gu Zheng does not need to identify this key point
Almost everything was done by Beth, while Gu Zheng was continuously chatting with Moore, trying to find the key point between Moore and Harmon
... ...
To restore his reputation, the requirements are even more stringent. The civil lawsuit on his part not only needs to be won, but it must be a resounding victory; otherwise, it will not be sufficient to convince the residents of the neighborhood that Moore is indeed changing, that he has turned over a new leaf
What are we second-year lawyers supposed to do to get by
Gu Zheng suddenly became tense, as the Red Sun Bar was the favorite place of Gardner & Gold Law Firm. This location is in close proximity to the court, the prosecutor's office, and the law firm itself, making it the most likely place for him to be exposed today
I do not consider whether a project is profitable or not; I only look at whether it is interesting or not, and whether it presents a challenge or not
For this man, who is desperately trying to climb out of the abyss, it is undoubtedly a kick that sends him back to the bottom of the abyss
Since Beth got in the car, she has been chattering away, and Gu Zheng simply threw out this sentence, bringing the topic to a close
If one wishes to clear their name with the * picture * book, then the notion of making a deal with the prosecutor cannot hold. This indicates that Moore is guilty, but due to insufficient evidence, a conviction cannot be secured. Clearly, this cannot be regarded as being innocent
But it was evident that he could not say it bluntly; he merely stated calmly, "Trust me, my judgment is correct, our breakthrough point lies with Father Harmon, and we will conduct an on-site investigation tomorrow"
Beth gathered her hair and said solemnly: "Yes, our family has been faithful believers since our ancestors."
In the evening, Beth, feeling utterly exhausted, walked out of the detention center with her head hanging low
Beth : ... ...
Because Mohr discovered his great secret
Today, Mo Er left the police station and arrived at the relatively familiar detention center, appearing much more relaxed.
Gu Zheng turned his head and asked, "Do you understand this so well? Are you also a member of the church?"
So, is our task today to investigate
His parents abandoned him, he has no job, and his only spiritual mentor, Father Harmon, has also betrayed him
Just as Beth was about to refute Gu Zheng, she heard the on-site investigation, and her eyes instantly lit up
Then he only needs to make an effort, without the involvement of hetushu.com in selling this serious crime, just over forty grams of goods. Even if he reoffends, it would not keep Moore in prison for so many years. It is even possible that the punishment could be community service, a characteristic penalty of the United States.
Beth nodded, noting that the requirements for evidence in civil litigation are much lower and do not attract significant attention. Even if it involves mid-level church personnel, the church would not exert its full effort, making the difficulty considerably less.
After a pause, his tone seemed to see through everything: "It is useless, everything you have done is in vain!"
Gu Zheng stated: "You have overlooked my strategy. I intend to prove Harmon’s defamation against Moore through litigation and obtain civil compensation. As for whether Harmon can be prosecuted by the prosecution, that is not something I need to consider."
At that moment, Beth pointed to the Red Sun Bar ahead and said excitedly
The red sun has arrived
Aren't you curious why I enjoy investigating so much?" After Gu Zheng nodded, Beth smiled and said, "Initially, I wanted to become a detective, but unfortunately, my parents did not agree. In the end, I became a lawyer because it is the profession closest to being a detective.
Gu Zheng silently muttered to himself, having already learned this from the simple materials available on https://www.hetushucom.com
"The motivation is just like this for now." Gu Zheng looked at Beth, who was almost done writing, and continued to ask, "I have one last question, has Harmon ever verbally threatened you? Or even threatened you to do something?"
Gu Zheng noticed her lively gaze and felt an inexplicable curiosity: "Is investigating really that fun?"
The requirements of the task are divided into two points: to clear one's name and to restore one's reputation
Silent and unspoken
But, is it possible
No, I took it myself
Alright
... ...
Gu Zheng turned his head and said淡淡地说道
However, the results have been minimal
Looking at the uniquely decorated door before him, Gu Zheng felt as if he were about to be devoured by a colossal beast, yet he had no choice but to enter
After a pause, Beth continued, "Actually, I think you are overly fixated on Father Harmon. This target is not to be trifled with, and I also find it unlikely to be him. Moore has made quite a few enemies in the past, and they all have some suspicion attached to them!"
Beth's big eyes immediately lit up, displaying an eager and enthusiastic demeanor
But it is evident that the task is bound to fail absolutely
As long as this is accomplished, both tasks and the *illustration* book will naturally be fulfilled.
Gu Zhengze walked ahead with a thoughtful expression. The afternoon was mainly spent preparing various materials. In his previous life, he could perform the process with his eyes closed, but in this different world and country, he was completely unfamiliar with forms like ABCD1234.
After a moment of silence, Beth, having become accustomed to assisting others over the past year, began to inquire about the details of the Gu Zheng case
After inquiring, she was once again left speechless: "Are you sure you want to proceed? You are suing mid-level personnel of the church. Even if they are considered mid-level, I have never heard of a lower-level priest being tried. The church spares no effort in its legal endeavors!"
Gazing into Mo Er's expression, Gu Zheng saw a soul filled with despair
Why is that
In fact, we have overlooked one point. Beth suddenly spoke up, "From the perspective of the client, we must prove that Father Harmon has falsely accused him. Conversely, from the judge's perspective, the question is why Harmon would falsely accuse Moore, and what exactly did Moore do that posed a threat to him"
It is merely a case of pro bono service
It's nothing, just some boring procedures. Beth waved her hand and then smiled, "Are you afraid that I might steal your clients?"
However, at the moment he heard Gu Zheng's question, his entire expression darkened.
In the end, Mohr seemed to once again be in despair, unwilling to reveal even a hint of additional information
Well, you city folks really know how to have fun
No, it is to fill out the form
He only needs to disrupt Father Harmon’s testimony through this civil lawsuit, and they will gain a significant advantage in the criminal proceedings
Beth exclaimed, and Gu Zheng keenly noticed that when she mentioned Kate's name, her tone was very affectionate, unlike a typical superior-subordinate relationship
Adding that he previously used the same phrase in Kate's office to avoid deep conversation, a double kill
Are first-year lawyers now this impressive?
In the bustling city center, it is easy to hail a taxi. Just as Gu Zheng had settled into the car and closed the door, it was suddenly pulled open, and a blonde woman squeezed in. It was Beth, whom he had met for the first time earlier.
Wow, was it Kate who arranged for you to go
Aren't you and Bruce supposed to go to court?" Gu Zheng asked, feeling somewhat gloomy inside
As a second-year lawyer, she appears to be slightly more senior than Gu Zheng, but she merely assists the partners, working tirelessly every day like a dog. If she happens to strike it lucky, she might manage to secure the position of junior partner, unlike Gu Zheng, who enjoys such freedom
