I don’t know whether he was trying to humiliate her or hit on her. It wasn’t clear. What was clear was the indecency of it. This is what lawyering has degenerated to. Carrie Lancing lost her husband and he’s probing her about her sex life. It was a blatant abuse of our process; it was an embarrassment to the integrity of our profession. This attorney should be sanctioned severely, Your homer. A message should be send to the bar that our bar is raised higher than an episode of reality television. Denny Crane demeaned Carrie Lancing; he demeaned our court system and he should be dealt with.
Denny, I have a good feel for this, can I take it?作者: serein 时间: 2010-8-12 11:41
I’ll take it.
It’s a pretty stuff. I can see that Mr. Ripley is a very powerful man. And that’s a big thing about lawyer, isn’t it? Power. Fear of feeling weak. I’ve seen before attorneys coming up against Denny Crane. They jump, and stomp, and shake their fists, and bellow with impassioned rage.. Makes good demonstatration doesn’t it? But when you cut through the merits, this lady alleged in her complaint loss of consortium, legal terms, meaning sex and affection. And if she is enjoying sex and affection, it’s relevant; it’s a mitigating factor. I’m entitled to explore it. Mr. Ripley may not like it but it is legitimate. And, I may add that I conducted my probe in a relative privacy of a closed conference room. Mr. powerful man made more public with his impassioned chest thumping in a court room (I object to that) .Go ahead and pound the table. I’ll tell you what I object to. We had an offer on the table. An offer I can’t discuss about because the settlement talks have been sealed. Considering the liability is not certain. Mr. Lancing had a preexisting heart condition. But except for taking the offer powerful guy like Mr. Ripley wants to go to trial. Why? Because I’m the opponent. It’s cool to be the big guy. But what if you don’t. you demeaned the profession, Mr powerful guy. You’re using your client to get a notch. You’re ** Carrie Lancing to go through the ordeal of a trial for your own ego, a trial which if you lose she will get nothing. She may never realize that you blew it.
