Chapter 66 Section 16

"The Woburn case." James obviously came prepared, and he handed over the clear and well-organized account book printed out from the computer, which listed all the items used in the Woburn case one by one. spend.According to Jammon's budget, at least another $500,000 is needed to survive the remaining five months of "finding out" and the trial, which is expected to last at least six weeks. Uncle Beetle went upstairs with all these papers, and when he came down he told the "boys" that the Board agreed to lend them another half a million dollars.He pushed Jane's house and car deeds aside again, and asked three people to sign a "Loan Contract".According to the contract, the law firm of Hilleman, Conway, and Knolly was willing to repay the Bank of Boston loan in five-year indemnities from United First Uniforms.

Uncle Bit got up and shook hands with the "children" one by one, wished them good luck, and pulled Jamon aside, asking him to keep him updated on the progress of the Warburn case. "Bankers don't like surprises," Uncle Beetle warned Jameson. Jero Fischer heard that United No. 1 Uniform Factory exchanged US$1.5 million for a withdrawal of the lawsuit. He thought it was a good plan, so he called Jane Hilleman's office: "I heard that you have already obtained the United No. 1 uniform factory." Indemnity from a uniform factory." "yes." "I still have it here, do you want it?" Jie Luo offered 2 million.Jane on the other end of the phone smiled, noncommittal.Gero added: "As far as I know, your accusations against the Beechos Group have so far been nothing but empty talk."

Jane admits that the evidence against the Beeches Group is not as solid as that of W. R. Glass, but it is by no means empty. Before hanging up the phone, Gero said, "You think you have the ability to get those plaintiffs to speak out about their miserable situation in court, causing the jurors to pull out tissues one by one and cry with them. Let me tell you, there is no way. Those family members of your patients will never get on the witness stand!" Putting down the phone, Jian En thought, this old boy was in a hurry, and became angry from embarrassment, and he didn't know what he was talking about.How could he keep the accusers from testifying?But when it comes to the evidence of the Bijos Group, it really needs a lot of work.Jane chatted with his colleague and friend, Tom Kelly, whom he had known in the small fishing village of Port Newbury, and Tom suggested that he consult Professor Charles Nason of Harvard Law School. Regulations (Federal Rules of Evidence) experts.

Professor Naxon is in his 40s, in the prime of life, a busy man, and his whereabouts are erratic.After several twists and turns, Jane finally found out that Professor Naxon will be invited to give a speech at a conference of legal circles held in Puerto Rico. After the lecture, Jane En and a group of young people surrounded Professor Naxon, but the professor turned a blind eye to them and just chatted endlessly with an elder.Jane waited patiently until there was a gap for interjection, and hurriedly reached out to Professor Naxon, and introduced himself with the lines that he had practiced many times in his mind: "I have a case in my hand, and you may have heard of it. "

Professor Naxon shook Jane's hand perfunctorily, and said, "Let me introduce to you, this is Judge Werensky." Then he turned and walked away quickly. The elder known as "Judge Weirensky" began to talk to Jane, but Jane couldn't control that much. He left the judge and chased Professor Naxon all the way. "You want to ask for my opinion?" the professor said without looking back. "Exactly." Jane nodded. "Then my first piece of advice to you is, when a federal judge talks to you, never turn away!" Less than 10 minutes after the plane took off from Puerto Rico Airport, Jane ignored the dissuasion of the flight attendants and stumbled to Charles Nason's seat.Professor Naxon was reclining on the seat with his eyes closed, and he didn't open his eyes from the beginning to the end of Jane's speech.Jane had no choice but to gently put a large stack of "Warburn Case" materials on the professor's lap, which was originally prepared for him anyway.

Before the plane landed at Boston Airport, Professor Naxon came to Jane, "OK," he said, "I'm very interested. How much are you going to pay me?" By the end of 1985, the total cost of the Warburn case on James Gordon's books had reached more than $1.8 million.Several people went to the Bank of Boston again. This time, Uncle Bitt accepted all the house deeds, car deeds, life insurance, etc. they brought.Jane is a bachelor and can make his own decisions.The others, Kevin, Jamon, and Bill Connolly, all did it without telling their wives.Every night before going to sleep, Jameson silently prayed to God that the trial would be held as scheduled. He heard that Jero Fischer had asked Judge Skinner twice to postpone the trial because he was not ready yet. Fortunately, the judge rejected both of them. .Really, the Janes can't stand any more delays.

The date of the trial is imminent, and the two defendants proposed through Judge Skenner that they are willing to negotiate and mediate with the plaintiff again.When the judge notified Jian En, he asked them to draft a compensation plan in advance and bring it to the negotiating table for discussion. The venue for the negotiation was set at the banquet hall of the Four Seasons Hotel. According to the usual practice, the plaintiff paid the bill.James Gordon ordered the dishes himself, and set a table of sumptuous buffet breakfast (Brunch). Jero Fisher, who was ten minutes late, apologized and said casually that he had come straight from Harvard.The world-renowned university had just awarded him "a chair" this morning.

"What chair?" The news seemed to surprise Professor Charles Naxon. He couldn't imagine that a chair with "Jero Fischer" engraved on the bronze plate on the back would be placed with other famous scholars. . "Black, with armrests." Jero replied lightly. "Congratulations." Professor Naxon smiled slightly. The guests and hosts took their designated seats one by one, and Jane Hilleman spoke on behalf of the plaintiff.He said that they calculated the compensation based on the fact that in addition to ensuring the future life of the family members of the 28 patients, it is also sufficient to cover all medical expenses.In fact, what their clients need more is that the two companies actually apologize to the residents of the entire community.While talking, Jane caught a glimpse of Jie Luo taking a piece of mint, peeling off the paper, putting it into his mouth, and smacking it with relish.
