Chapter 1993: : In court...confession? ! (3 more)
Kissinger's answer was in response to Eric's inquiry.
In the litigation, the plaintiff is on the offensive side. Since the defendant is sued, it is natural to provide evidence and witnesses. The defendant is the defensive side and find a way to refute the evidence.
Kissinger presented the entrustment agreement signed between Mrs. Wilson and the GMP firm in court.
What is so special about this commission 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 requirements of the client, Xia Xiaolan can be responsible for the theater renovation as an intern, and Lisa is just an assistant assigned by GMP to Xia Xiaolan.
Lisas lawyer Miles questioned Kissingers testimony:
"According to the U.S. Architects Practice Regulations, the firms intern does not have the qualifications of a registered architect. She cannot act as the person in charge of such a project. The firms partner Kissinger violated the Architects Professional Regulations for interests. ..."
Kissinger pursed his lips.
It was indeed not because he was optimistic about Xia Xiaolan that he let Xia Xiaolan be the person in charge, but the client appointed Xia Xiaolan, and he played this side ball in order to keep the business.
Xia Xiaolan is not a registered architect. She wants to rebuild the interior of the building. The plan must be signed by the registered architect.
This is the meaning of Lisa's existence.
Damn--
"No, the question has nothing to do with this case!"
Believing that Kissinger violated the architect's practice regulations, he should file a separate lawsuit against Kissinger. Today, it was a copyright lawsuit.
Eric didn't allow Kissinger to be attacked like this.
"The opposition is effective."
Thankfully, the judge supported him.
Miles accepts as soon as he sees it.
Walking around, he still asked a few questions that made Kissinger quite embarrassing.
What is the effect of this wrangling?
Attacking Kissinger's own integrity makes his testimony unreliable.
Xia Xiaolan took out the original manuscript, and Lisa also has the original manuscript.
The "manuscripts" submitted by the two have been appraised and the creation time is about the same. This kind of identification technology can identify an approximate time based on the aging of the paper and the change in the ink of the note, but it cannot be accurate to the day.
Who comes first?
Family members can listen, but it is forbidden to speak. Liu Fen and others are also in court, but they are secretly anxious.
Liu Fen was most anxious. Her English level was not enough, and she could understand very simple daily conversations. It involved looking at professional vocabulary. She spoke fast and she was confused.
She can only guess based on the expressions of Hu Ying, Professor Wen and others.
Hu Ying was anxious, and Liu Fen also became anxious.
Liu Fen's gaze fell on her daughter again, and Xia Xiaolan was in the plaintiff's bench, but calmly.
Xia Xiaolan was not arrogant enough to contempt the court. She would never be stupid when she should be well-behaved.
No matter how strong the desire for performance is, I have to endure it. Since I trust Eric, I will leave the trial to Eric. If necessary, someone will naturally ask the plaintiff to ask questions. She can't rush to speak
Lisa is also very calm.
It looks like this.
For today, Lisa did a lot of psychological rehearsals. At the beginning, when the AIA jury admitted that it was her work, she still had a guilty conscience.
I have said too many times in panic. I said on the TV program that the reporter who interviewed said that she had also exercised a very thick skin.
Xia Xiaolan looked away.
The court trial is like this, one offense and one defense, the lawyers of both sides have a trick when you come to me.
After Kissinger, Matthew was the second witness.
As another intern, Matthew is also a participant in the'Theatre Renovation Project'. He testified in court that Xia Xiaolan was the absolute creator of the project:
"Although she is young, she leads me and Lisa in this work."
"The plan was proposed by her and designed by her. She once asked Lisa and I if there were any supplements, but Lisa said that she did not."
"Have you seen Lisa's design manuscript? No, Lisa is more in charge of on-site supervision."
After Eric finished asking, Lisas lawyer Miles asked.
This complaint was too shameless, and his question made the members of the jury stare at each other.
"Matthew Carlton, you and the plaintiff studied together at Cornell University School of Architecture. Did you have any contact during your school? I noticed that you all participated in the Wilson Hotel sponsored Cornell School of Architecture design competition."
Have you been in contact with classmates?
Participating in the competition together, it can be regarded as contact.
Matthew's expression was not very good. Xia Xiaolan took the first place. He didn't cooperate well with Jonathan and others, so he only took third place. What's more to mention.
"Yes, there is contact"
"You and the plaintiff entered the GMP firm for an internship. Have you ever helped each other?"
"Yes."
Is it necessary to state in court that he once wished that Xia Xiaolan's performance was so close that he would show up?
Myers smiled, "Matthew Carlton, you and the plaintiff are classmates and colleagues, and you get along with such a beautiful Chinese girl day and night. Are you attracted to her and have a good impression of her...please You answer me, do you like the accuser?"
"No! 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, and dismissed Eric's objection:
"The objection is invalid. The witness is asked to answer the defendant's lawyer's question."
The sight of the audience fell on Matthew.
Including Xia Xiaolan.
Matthew's face blushed at once.
"Matthew Carlton, you have sworn all your testimony to be true. Please answer my question. Have you been attracted by the plaintiff during your work together and fell in love with the plaintiff?"
Those who have sworn an oath must not give false testimony or lie.
"...Yes."
That's it, this cunning lawyer, Matthew wanted to slap himself a few times. He never thought of confessing, let alone confessing in court! He didn't intend to confess his whole life, he just wanted to be better than Xia Xiaolan, well, well, he has a little bit of admiration.
Matthew lowered his head in shame, he fell into the trap of the lawyer.
"I"
"Your Honor, I have finished my question."
Miles decisively stopped asking questions.
There was a buzzing sound from the jury.
The plaintiff Xia Xiaolan appeared in court with two witnesses in a row. Kissinger, a partner of a GMP firm, was questioned by Miles that there was a major problem with professional ethics.
The other is Matthew Carlton, who was questioned by Miles in court, and Matthew had an admiration for Xia Xiaolan.
The motives of these two men to testify, their testimony, can still form a complete chain of evidence?
What will the judge think, and what will the jury think.
Xia Xiaolan herself was very surprised. The lawyer Lisa hired is indeed a frequent lawsuit for people in the entertainment industry. Can copyright lawsuits be cut from the relationship between men and women? Because Matthew has a good impression of her, he is willing to go to court to give false testimony. Is this the logic?
Why does Matthew have a good impression of her?
The steel straight daughter is deeply confused.
Matthew, this scheming Boy, hasn't always wanted to take her chance?
Later, when I got close to her, after being blown away by her, the weak chicken was in awe of the big guy, and at what stage was the "like", please forgive Xia Xiaolan for blindness, I really didn't see it... I treat you as a brother , You confessed to me in court? !
