面对RULE 11惩处的威胁,海明终于服软了。他在前日签了一份文件1)承认自己的错误(wrongdoing);
2)向华人被告道歉,恳求被告的饶恕;
3)作出经济赔偿。
在Rule 11的威慑下,一向口头上很强硬的海明终于俯首伏法。唉,早知今日,何必当初。
我突然觉得海明有点可怜。海明早听我的,他也用不着这样痛哭流涕的哀求宽恕。联邦法院门朝哪边开都没搞清,就冒然上阵,以为有个执照就代表法律智商。殊不知,美国律师人数比程序员人数还多,饭桶多去了。
海明的道歉如果运用得当对桑兰现任律师也许有帮助--可以把乱来的责任一股脑推给海明。法庭因此明白,那些不靠谱、乌七八糟的东东都是海明所为。另外,海明明确承认性侵之类指控是为了迫使被告民事和解,这是律师规则明文禁止的。海明虽然与被告和解,律师协会却不会姑息海明,桑兰起诉海明malpractice 也有了铁证。
桑兰案形势目前尚有六项指控成活,估计如果双方互不示弱,还有得打。这也是给华人社区学习盎格鲁-撒克逊司法传统的机会。
