LAW REPORT ( CONTINUED ) : WRIGHT-HACKER  v. BIGOT-JOHNSON 1989

Another short extract taken from the trial's transcript ,  as the case took on a sudden and unexpected turn. 

Sylvester Shyster (SS) : So I put it to you your Honour.....and the court......that Bigot-Johnson stands only for truth and justice...
B-J : Hear....hear....
SS : He is a man of principle and high moral standing, who would never stoop to condemning people of crimes which they have not committed
B-J : Yes....I am a gentleman and a scholar
Judge : Shyster....as yet neither you.... nor your client..... has produced a shred of evidence to show that the content of the newsletter article was true. Where is the evidence to establish that Wright-Hacker was indeed a cheat and a bully ? 

SS : Oh....did I forget to mention......all the real evidence you need your Honour is to be found in a large brown paper bag tucked secretly away under your bench....immediately to your left. Wads of the stuff.....which I'm sure you will find very conclusive
Judge : Well.....at this point I need to adjourn the proceedings for at least an hour....in order to retire and count up the evidence....
