When I was about fifteen years old, I was in the kitchen one day, and my dog Fred ran in with a dead rabbit in his mouth, the neighbor's pet, I thought it was Fred's trouble. If it is known that it has killed their pets, animal control will come and take it away. So I take the rabbit, rinse it in the sink, blow dry it to make it look white and fluffy, then I sneak into my neighbors backyard and put it back in the cage, hoping they think the rabbit died of natural causes . That night, my parents came to my room and they told me that the neighbor's rabbit died three days ago, they buried it in a bush, and a madman dug it out, washed it, and put it back in the cage. I thought then that truth can be more bizarre and unbelievable than fiction.
In this case, a person with a criminal record of robbery and burglary robbed a passer-by of the woman's wallet, and the evidence was confirmed by taking pictures at the scene. testify. No one on the jury believed that this was a bizarre misunderstanding, so Sally told the funny story, which made the jury laugh, and finally agreed to a reasonable doubt and acquitted.
Boston Legal is full of interesting endings like this. Of course, this closing was something Allen had taught her, when she had no clue or certainty. Pull the rabbit out of your hat.."Pull the rabbit out of your hat", the English meaning is to find a new way, to be unexpected, to create something out of nothing. Tell a story to the jury when there is no hope, no matter what the story, as long as it's interesting, just amuse the jury, and when it's hot enough, connect the story to the case, no matter how far-fetched or ridiculous, and ask for a jury The group releases people, for god knows what reason, they often do. A good story may be your rabbit (opportunity). Fortunately, she used this trick very well. If it was given to me, I don't know how to use it.
Sally is new and this is her first case. In court, she was nervous, stiff, hesitant, and she wasn't tough and confident at all. When she should object, she didn't know how to react, fight back, and she had no idea what to do next. Reminds me of Tara's first lawsuit (The Practice. S8E10), which was a bit passive and full of loopholes. She even couldn't help laughing as the witnesses testified, and was extremely apologetic afterwards. In the end, they still won the lawsuit and were very professional. Everyone has a first time, starting from a novice, and has stage fright and panic when standing on a new stage, lack of confidence and experience. Has anyone given you a chance, has anyone taught you skills, and have you been able to overcome your fears? Professional women's toughness and aggressiveness were originally cultivated in this way. Sometimes, you can't allow your emotions to play a role. A word "refinement", all kinds of wonderful scenery, behind the cold and warm self-awareness. But I still don't know if I have conquered the fear in my heart after years.
Allen's case is about sexual harassment in the workplace. Americans are very serious. After so long after leaving the company, they have to go to court and get a clear-cut Innocent. Sexual harassment, now very common, seems to have laws to protect women, but there are very few examples of this in our place. There are many girlfriends around me who have also experienced this, and I can't help but grit my teeth but dare not speak out. If I really go to court, I don't know what the result will be. A legal gray area, difficult to define.
Here Allen seems to have won, but the compensation is far worse than expected. His opponent is not very strong, and it is an ex-girlfriend with mental self-control problems. He was soft-hearted and refused to defeat her based on her weakness, leaving room for her, but she had the upper hand. At last she raised her eyebrows with a defiant smile. Whoever puts the client's interests above others, whoever shows no mercy, who is rational and professional, will win. It is a pity that Allen is naturally sympathetic to women and vulnerable people. "Out of compulsive curiosity, I always befriend my most colorful ex-girlfriends." But it is undeniable that her closing arguments were aggressive and of a high standard.
Allen: - Some people simply cannot let go. You love a person so desperately, you perhaps, lose sight of reason, and you begin to act unreasonably, perhaps out of control, even. It's possible Daniel Ralston have no control over his behavior. Maybe he truly couldn't stop pursuing Wendy Moore. Maybe he had to keep calling, had to schedule those lunches, had to seemingly stalk her, if you will. He was in love with her. People in love lose their grip. But what's at issue here is her state of mind, her mental state. Not Mr. Ralston's state of mind, but Wendy's. Was she reasonably upset by this relentless pursuit? She's a married woman with a family trying to salvage her marriage, and her boss keeps calling, keeps coming, and keeps propositioning her. The fact that she once loved this man only makes it worse, more difficult.What choice did she really have but to leave? Maybe that was his plan all the time. He knew he couldn't fire her. Maybe that was his psychological game, where the only thing that she could really do in the end was get in her car and drive off. He created a hostile working environment with repeated, unwelcomed sexual advances, ladies and gentlemen. That is prima facie classic sexual harassment.
Council: -Love happens in the workplace all the time. In fact, it's where most affairs start, most relationships. It happens. So do breakups. As a woman, I am offended by the onslaught of these lawsuits. As neutral as the language may be, sexual harassment law is gender biased it exists to protect women. It feeds into the perception that women are weaker than. It goes all the way back to common law, where women were denied the right to enter into contracts because we lacked mental capacity. Today's harassment law is designed to protect us from sexual banter in the workplace because we just can't take it. I can take it. Can you? Can you? Do we really need to cleanse the workplace of all sexual expression, so it'll be safe for us? These laws treat us as if we were either psychologically or emotionally impaired, and I'm sick of it.Are some cases legitimate? Absolutely. But here, this woman is a grownup. She entered into an adult, consensual relationship with her boss. It ended, perhaps bumpy. He's hurt, he's still in love, so she sues. She wasn't fired. She's a college-educated vice-president of a brokerage firm. She's 34 years old. She's a professional. She's here today to tell you that she can't stick up for herself. She is here today trying to take advantage of a law, that declares women to be the weaker sex. Not for me, ladies and gentlemen. I wouldn't have gotten in my car and driven off. I'd have sooner driven over him. Let's treat these people, both of them. .. as if they were grownups.It ended, perhaps bumpy. He's hurt, he's still in love, so she sues. She wasn't fired.

Whoever impresses the jury wins, as if judges generally don't overturn jury verdicts. China seems to be experimenting with the jury system right now. I don't know when our country will have such a fun and humanized court trial.
Besides, Denny's case is not worth mentioning, his son appeared, just not in blood. It is worth mentioning that Denny is an interesting and majestic man, gentle, intelligent and powerful. I have never seen such an old man. Forgive my lack of words.
