Chapter 77 Section 27

"I think, yes." "Which year was the earliest?" "I don't remember. There are new ones, and there are old ones. ... They are not important things, those recipes. They are just the same list as the recipes for cooking." Jack also said that he had given the lawyers successively Some of our recipes, just before the last trial. Jane turned to Judge Skinner. "They should have given me the chemical formula last time, Your Honor, but they didn't. I'm asking them to give it to me now." The judge asked Gero Fisher, and Gero said he never received the information.The judge asked Mary Rhine again, and Mary said she had put them in the firm's storage room.Mary also said that they never concealed these formulas from the plaintiff.But since the plaintiff did not ask, they are not obliged to offer it.

Jane Hilleman then asked the judge to allow the plaintiffs to enter the storage room of Mary Rhine's firm to search for relevant materials.But Judge Skinner replied: "Do you know what you're talking about? It's a storage room full of all sorts of papers. A 'finding' search of this magnitude would lead to a new trial." , not a hearing, you understand? Well, that's the end of the discussion on this issue." Jane couldn't hold back anymore. He waved his fist in front of the judge's seat: "Isn't this hearing just because the defendant concealed key evidence? We just heard that, in addition to the Yankee report, they also Withheld more materials, such as chemical formula manuals. How could you?  …”

Judge Skinner cut him off sharply: "I don't know if you ever asked them for what you're asking for in the 'finding' process before the last court session. Neither party is obliged to offer it. Evidence that the other side did not ask for. Now, if you will, proceed with your discovery of Mr. Jack Riller." Jane Hilleman was helpless.He began to ask Jack Riller, who was still sitting on the witness stand, about the secret operation of the garbage removal, and then took out Jack's testimony from three years ago, turned to page 22, and read: Jero Fischer: To the best of your knowledge, has any form of waste, etc. ever been dumped on that 15-hectare vacant lot.

Jack Riller: I've already said it. Jero Fischer: Please repeat that. Jack Riller: No.As far as I know, never, absolutely never. Jero Fisher: You didn't move or move anything from there either? Jack Riller: No. Jero Fisher: Can you tell me why, sir? Jack Riller: Because my lawyer told me there was going to be an investigation there, so nothing can be done. This time, without much trouble, Mr. Riller admitted that he had perjured himself at the previous trial. Donna Cannon, who sat in the gallery, later said: "I felt sorry for Mr. Riller when I saw him." Jerome Fisher was going to use Jack Riller's health as a defense of his memory confusion, but Jack wouldn't allow it.

After testifying, Jack Riller staggered off the witness stand and walked out of the courtroom, muttering: "All this has nothing to do with facts, and it has nothing to do with perjury. It's all about money, because of money..." "When is this going to end?" he asked a reporter beside him. "Probably another year." The reporter said. "One year?" The old man shook his head, "I'm afraid I won't live to that day." The last two to testify were the defense attorneys Jero Fisher and Neil Jacobs, who swore they had never obtained the Yankee Environmental Engineering investigation report and other documents.

In July 1989, Judge Walter Skinner ruled that Jack Riller was guilty of perjury during his 1986 trial in the Warburn trial and that Mary Rhine was guilty of malpractice for willful withholding of evidence.The judge held that the words and deeds of Jero Fischer and Neil Jacobs during this period were beyond reproach, and announced that they would argue at another hearing in October of the same year that the two cases related to the defense Whether guilt has affected the plaintiff's presentation of the case. The hearing in October lasted for two weeks, and neither party summoned witnesses, but only relied on existing written materials to conduct arguments.Finally, Judge Skinner asked Jane Hilleman to submit to the court his notes and various documents during his investigation and investigation of the J. J. Riller Tannery, for reference in the ruling.

In addition to the original agenda, Mary Rhine hired her own lawyer and submitted 41 exhibits to the court—letters, memos, phone records, receipts, etc., proving that Gerald Fischer and Neil Jacobs They had received the so-called "withheld and concealed documents" sent to them by Mary, including the Yankee Report and part of the chemical formula of the J.J. Riller Tannery.One of the receipts, dated November 1984, states that the court paper delivered the Yankee report to Neil Jacobs, who signed the addressee. However, Judge Skinner remained unchanged and upheld the original sentence.He determined that Mary Rhine "intentionally" concealed the evidence during the hearing at the beginning of the year.Had it not been for her conviction, she might never have turned over the evidence.

That said, Jero Fisher and Neil Jacobs are still innocent.No wonder, a law professor at Harvard University, the law is just a plaything in his hands, how could he be convicted? On Monday, December 12, 1989, Jane remembered a night of nightmares.As soon as he got to work in the morning, the office of Judge Walter Skinner called to say that the judge had delivered his ruling for the October hearing and that he could pick it up any time today.Jane immediately rushed to the courthouse with Bill Connolly, who felt that he had waited too long for this ruling.When he received the ruling from Justice Skinner's secretary, Jane hurried through it eagerly.
