Chapter 282 Court confrontation
Annick found a seat in front of the courtroom's auditorium, and by default, some places were left for some people with identities.
After a while, the people who came to listen began to enter the venue one after another. The families of the four victims were the most eye-catching. Two were holding black and white photos, and two were pushing wheelchairs, and the victims who could not stand up were sitting on them. They entered the venue surrounded by a group of workers.
"KaKaKaKa."
The flashing lights shot at the victims' families. When Hoffman, who happened to enter the court, saw it, his face turned blue. The sound of leather shoes stomping on the ground and the cane he waved showed that this person was extremely upset.
"This group of untouchables actually put us together."
Donald immediately helped Hoffman pull the seat open, his eyes widened, and looked at the audience.
Hoffman sat slowly in the dock and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Mr. Donald, you have already made me lose a hush fee. If you lose this lawsuit again, ahem, our long-term cooperation may be until today."
Donald wiped the sweat from his head and patted his chest.
"We have made sufficient preparations. I have also hired some municipal officials. They will appear in the auditorium close to us. The court will know a little about the sympathy at that time."
"It's okay, you're ready."
Hoffman finally nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the plaintiffs who appeared opposite him.
Jones was wearing a white shirt and a navy blue suit, and it was rare that three buttons were tied together. When he brought Donner into the venue, a sound rang out from the audience.
"Come on, Mr. Jones."
"Come on, justice will win."
Five minutes before the trial, another commotion rang out from the audience. Several people in formal attire walked into the venue. They looked happy and seemed to be enjoying the flash of the reporters and the awe-inspiring eyes of others.
"Aren't these leaders of the Eigersburg Chamber of Commerce? The leaders are senior members of the CPC."
"Is this a platform for Hoffman?"
After entering the venue, the adults sat on the left, took off their hats and handed them to the servants beside them.
Hoffman stood up with a smile, then took off his hat and thanked him.
"How about it, these people are all people with certain status in Eigsburg, and I have found them with great difficulty."
Donald grinned and asked for credit.
"Not bad, it's useful."
"Click, click."
The flash light lit up again, a small team of guards pushed open the door, and a man in a brown army general's dress accompanied two middle-aged and elderly gentlemen dressed in a scholar to enter the venue.
"Hmm? Why are these three old men here too? Strange."
Hoffman grabbed Donald's hand and pinched it hard.
"How did you invite these three people? Just ask them to say hello if you have this relationship. We still need to come here to be sued?"
Donald opened his mouth slightly, and his hands were pinched red. He hurriedly explained, "Well, I just wrote a letter to the previous people who appeared. These three people were given the turn to see them. Maybe they were falsely accused by Mr. Hoffman, and wanted to preside over justice."
Jones frowned, but looked at Annick who was still sitting quietly in the chair. Suddenly, he thought that this guy was also from Egersburg University, so he immediately felt at ease and comforted Donna and said.
"Don't worry, these three people came here to listen, and they would even stand on our side."
Donna took back the expression that she was about to cry and asked, "Mr. Jones, are you sure? Otherwise, let's give up."
Jones took a deep breath and said, "I am sure that the law is a rule set by all the people who elect representatives, and I will fight for it even if His Majesty the King comes in person."
Seeing this, several big men sitting on the left hurriedly got up and gave up their seats, and were stopped.
"Why are you here too? Forget it, just sit down and watch. I believe that most people still respect the law and justice."
General Granger looked at the group with a teasing tone
Some people who are a little panicked and a little confused.
"Are you guys not here? We can sit in the back row."
The city councillor led by the city councillor thought he had heard it wrong and asked again.
"You can just sit there, after all, it means your preference. Of course, before the court verdict, you can sit there, no one cares about you because of this."
General Granger finished speaking, then declined their invitation and walked into the middle with the other two.
"I'll do it here. Two gentlemen should click to the right?"
General Granger sat in the middle of the auditorium and then asked his two companions.
"There is no way, my traitor is there. If I don't go as a mentor, this little petty guy will probably remember it. General, you can just sit here."
Mr. Russell replied with a smile, then walked towards Annick.
"Then I'll sit here with you. Crowding on the right will make you lonely."
Earl Duyi handed the cane to the servant and sat down on the right side of the general.
"It seems that your position is to the plaintiff's side. I thought you supported Hoffman and the others more."
The general turned his eyes and asked.
"No, it's all about making money. I strictly abide by the laws of the kingdom. Even if my subordinates are not humane enough, the rules that should be improved will follow, right?"
Earl Duye pointed at Jones with a smile and continued, "This lawyer is not only what I saw and grew up with, but also helped us catch a big borer last year. The Rio Tinto General Manager has been arrested. I have to thank him very much."
Jones didn't know the conversation in the audience, but when he saw Earl Dui pointing at him, he took off his hat and greeted him...
The old foxes were invited by Donald to understand the situation naturally. They stood up decisively and sat in the middle.
"Or why we try to reach a settlement, even if we lose some face."
Donald wiped his head and kept sweating, saying to Hoffman next to him.
Hoffman, who was ashamed, shook his head, then pulled his hair and said, "No, if you admit defeat now, my pesticide company will definitely be destroyed. Even now, some of the people in this group have begun to plan to annex me. Donald, you know that when a hunter faces a wolf pack, whenever he turns around and shows timidity, he will definitely be bitten to death. You have to resist me."
"I'll try my best."
At this moment, the old judge wearing a red judge's robe brought the clerks into the venue. Donald breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the judge wearing a white judge's wig, a tall nose and a presbyopian glasses.
