Chapter 542: 542
"Mr. Lancaster, don't talk nonsense without evidence." Facing Hugo's unreasonable slander, Anthony had to fight back, because the "National Enquirer" has always been criticized for the authenticity of the news. If you don't explain it and let Hugo guide public opinion in this direction, then you will be in trouble.
Don't want to, Anthony's subconscious sentence was caught by Hugo, "Yes! Don't talk nonsense without evidence, you all know this truth, so why are you facing Michael again and again. Three nonsense!"
At this point, the reporters all stepped back a little, forming a vacuum around Anthony, allowing Hugo and Anthony to have a head-to-head confrontation. Other reporters are obviously planning to watch a good show and wait for the opportunity when they need to appear, but this is a huge pressure for Anthony.
After the Golden Globe incident, Hugo and Anthony faced each other again. The last time Hugo won, so what about this time?
"I'm not talking nonsense! Jordan Chandler is the best witness. This is the hard truth!" Anthony roared angrily, which was also his most confident part.
"I only know now that it turns out that only one witness is enough for any case? Then, I said that all of this was actually fabricated by you, so you will believe it?" Hugo was talking about the most basic question. , any case requires witnesses and evidence to collect evidence together. If there are only witnesses, then the witness must be investigated to confirm the credibility of the witness testimony. In the United States, there are many cases in which the witnesses themselves have an unfavorable record, which invalidates their testimony and changes the verdict. "Why didn't any other witnesses show up except Jordan during the months that this whole thing broke out? All the other kids were on Michael's side!"
"Maybe Jordan was the only one who was poisoned, and the matter was exposed. Michael didn't have time to reach out to the other children!" Anthony has been reporting on this case recently. It can be said that things will come to this point. Anthony's behind-the-scenes contribution , so he was naturally not worried about confronting Hugo head-on.
"Then why isn't there any evidence to support what Jordan said?" Hugo didn't let up, and then asked.
"It couldn't be simpler, all the evidence was destroyed by Michael." Anthony wanted to calm himself down and regain control of himself, but Hugo's pressing step by step gave him no breathing room at all.
Anthony thinks he knows Hugo very well, but he has never seen Hugo in full swing. Eleven months ago, Anthony made a trap at the Golden Globes event and tempted him step by step. Hugo hit the jackpot and completed the set goal; but after that, Anthony found that Hugo was not a soft persimmon, and never was.
"Since the evidence has been destroyed, how did those so-called insiders of Neverland come out?" Hugo's questions came one after another, and all of Anthony's answers seemed to be what he expected. He didn't stop at all. Wave after wave of words left Anthony only able to parry, but not to fight back.
"There is nothing in this world that can hide the truth forever! They may have seen it with their own eyes, and then they were fired because they knew too much truth!" Anthony tried to raise his voice, trying to suppress Hugo in momentum , thus forming a confrontation, but this is too difficult.
"It's ridiculous! If you do something bad and it turns out to be discovered, the best thing you can do is to fire him? Aren't you afraid of him speaking out? Don't you have the most basic bribes?" Hugo A series of questions made the reporters at the scene stunned. Almost everyone focused their attention on Anthony. Anthony only felt that his whole body was roasted by fire, which made him feel that he would explode at any time, "Maybe you can investigate. Look at the husbands of the so-called whistleblowers, if you can't find Michael's bribe, maybe you can find someone else's."
Hugo's cynicism was obviously implying that Anthony had bought off the former employees of Neverland, which caused Anthony to subconsciously fight back, "Cash! Bribes can also be cash!"
"That's all you can come up with? So why don't you give all this evidence to the police, assist the police in their investigation, why don't you put these witnesses in court, why do they choose to tell the news media this important information? Don't tell me they really Do justice, if you want to do justice, the legal system is the most correct way, not you reporters who can turn black and white by relying on this mouth!" Hugo's voice was like a knife, stabbed ruthlessly. On Anthony's chest, he couldn't breathe at all, but he couldn't say anything to refute, "As a reporter, have you investigated the background of these so-called insiders, and whether their testimony is credible? It is said that the judicial process of the news media is more authoritative than the law!"
Hugo's eloquent words made the scene silent, and no one dared to publicly admit Hugo's accusations, because once someone thinks so, it is bound to face the condemnation of the entire public opinion.
Anthony now really feels the feeling of Jack Nicholson playing the role in "The Righteous Sea". Hugo's powerful momentum is like continuous lightning and thunder, eroding his advantages little by little. Then, like a knife blade, wounds were drawn on his skin, and a fatal blow was completed at the last moment. Anthony only felt that he was like a canoe swaying in a storm, in danger of capsizing at any moment, and even if he wanted to save himself, he found that he had no energy left at all. This feeling is really bad!
"But you can't ignore Jordan as a witness!" This is Anthony's only life-saving straw, and it is also the core reason why the entire case has been entangled.
"Yes, we can't ignore it. But did you come to a conclusion just because of Jordan's testimony? Then I said that you killed my puppy yesterday, and you believe it?" Hugo's words seemed to be suddenly a little loose, revealing A loophole, Anthony immediately seized, and shouted sharply:
"You don't have a puppy!"
"Yes, I don't have a puppy! Look, now you are willing to pursue the truth! Then why are you unwilling to deal with Jordan or Michael?" Hugo apparently sold the loophole on purpose, and immediately caught Anthony's Attitude attacked again, "We can't ignore Jordan as a witness, but we also can't ignore the truth, we can't go beyond the law to make judgments. You say what's right, you say what's wrong, you say what's right and wrong, black and white, The so-called truth is not important, and the so-called evidence is not important! Uncrowned king, you have rights, but you are not crowned!"
Hugo's words made Anthony completely lose his ability to resist. He could only stare at Hugo in jaw-dropping. All the reporters were stunned. They couldn't believe that even in the face of such a large group of reporters, Hugo was still unconvinced. A confrontation with reporters was formed, and that last sentence stung the hearts of all reporters.
Nicholas laughed when he heard Hugo's shocking remarks.
Perhaps, this is the most real Hugo. Even if he faces great pressure, he will not easily compromise. On the contrary, he will not only not compromise, but will launch a violent counterattack. Never be fooled by Hugo's warm temperament of gentleness, gentleman and sunshine. Only with the tenacious will of perseverance and perseverance in the bones can we create a band like Glory to Death, and create a band like "Almost Famous". 's album.
"The reason why the law gives the news media the supreme power of freedom of speech is not to let you hype the news, but to chase the truth. Look at the means by which the media pursues the truth, and the so-called truth that has been excavated. The law determines the truth. Before the fake, the media made a judgment above the law, which is not only an insult to the law, but also an insult to 'freedom of speech'!"
Hugo obviously had no intention of letting go. He stood calmly in front of all the media reporters. At this time, the entire group of reporters had gathered nearly 100 people. Hugo's momentum in the face of 100 people was obviously the weak side. , but he did not show the slightest timidity, instead he burst out with an astonishing aura, making all the reporters on the scene silent, and could only listen to Hugo's accusations in a daze. With sharp and sharp eyes, all the words are rolling in the throat but there is no way to make any sound.
"Only relying on the testimony of Jordan Chandler alone, without any other evidence to support this incident, will this incident go to this level? This is obviously impossible! Pushing this incident to an extreme, It was you, the media who made up the facts based on their own interests under the banner of freedom of speech, who made this incident so bad that everyone could not see the truth clearly, and brought this incident to trial in a terrifying manner!"
With one enemy against one hundred, Hugo's voice echoed throughout the corridor, accompanied only by the sound of the solitary flashing lights. This scene added a sense of tragic and solemnity, but there were nearly a hundred reporters, but no one could make a sound. . Anthony, who was attacking with Hugo's firepower, was even weaker in his legs, and he was almost soft to the ground.
Anthony didn't know why Hugo was so decisive. He secretly bought the dismissed staff of Neverland, fabricated news, and distorted the facts. He was sure that only he knew, but now Hugo's loud accusation seemed to know all the truth. This made Anthony uneasy, and he didn't even dare to look into Hugo's eyes.
"If you really want freedom of speech, if you really want to achieve justice, if you really want to pursue the truth, then please open your eyes that are blinded by your interests, don't deliberately hype this matter, and search carefully. Evidence, hand it over to the judiciary for judgment, and give the whole incident a fair judgment. Even the uncrowned king, you will never be above the law!"
