打官司确实不是请客吃饭,海明律师还是谨慎的好。你看看,莫虎律师经验可比你丰富多了,他自己还曾经被判罚1万美金,而且法庭还特意命令不允许其客户代他支付。那还不是rule 11 sanction,主要因为他的客户不配合。Rule 11 就更严重了。虽然后来巡回法院以下级法院没有给他DUE PROCESS为由vacate了这个命令、并且remand for further proceedings,但要知道联邦法官权力是很大的,sanction 这种东西,一般来说上诉法院的审查标准是abuse of discretion,推翻的难度大。从这个角度,莫虎律师是有实战经验的--他能在巡回法院争取到vacate下级法院的罚款就是一例。
这次莫虎律师的rule 11我看他是志在必得。海明把TURNER从罪大恶极一下子说成清白无辜,法官会怎么想?你想回北京当“农民工”还不一定有人要呢?在中国打工是要户口的。在网上拍胸脯、给自己打气是没有用的。莫虎要制你,你就说是下重手,你告人家难到就很温柔?打官司这种事情,一旦开战,说穿了,是个你死我活的斗争,是很残酷的。男人的成长往往是要经过痛苦的。没有这个受伤的思想准备,就不要当原告。
这样下去,这场唐人街的斗殴只会便宜了看热闹的作为网上娱乐和免费法治教育。反正海明把这个桑兰案闹得满世界都知道了,桑兰也说了输赢无所谓,只是找个说法。
纸老虎这个概念其实是个相对概念,当年毛泽东论述这个概念的时候就清楚的解释了。帝国主义很强大,有核武器,一般的人碰到这个老虎是要被咬得很惨的,只有遇上强大的对手,它才会表现出纸老虎的特性。想想看,八国联军是纸老虎吗?当然不是,满清就被打得落花流水,割地赔钱。朝鲜战争的16国联军呢?被湘军打得满山跑。这样才有用纸老虎这个词的资格。
