[ WP ] Court cases are no longer decided on the evidence , but on how good the prosecutor can diss the defendant . Mob boss who 's never been found guilty now goes against the lawyer who never lost

`` The prosecution better have an *extremely* valid reason for this tardiness.'' 
 `` I think, well, I mean... I'm sure Mr. Watts has a perfectly valid reason.'' 
 
 *beep beep da-daing* 
 
 The aides phone jingled and a text popped onto the screen. 
 
 speaker phone now pls 
 
 *ding da-ding ding dong* 
 
 He let one ring go through before he reacted. Eric thought that Mr. Watts was calling to let the judge know why he was late. The defence was getting restless, the defendant was already seated for questioning. Gino Tomaso never lost, so everyone was just looking for a quick case to leave. 
 
 As Eric turned the phone the speaker phone mode, he approached the bench, placing the cell near the gavel. 
 
 *oooooooooooooooooohhhhhh yessssssss. FUCK me harrrrrrder* 
 
 Moaning upon moaning. A woman's drawls rang through the static-y call. She seemed to be getting it good and Eric could n't help but fantasize the situation. 
 
 Seconds which felt like eons passed with the judges mouth agape, clearly baffled by the situation currently unfolding into his courtroom. 
 
 `` THE DEFENCE BETTER HAVE A GODDAMNED GREAT REASON FOR THIS BEFORE I THROW YOU OUT IN CONTEMPT.'' 
 
 *beeeeeeeep* 
 
 The call ended. A new text: 
 
 Read the following number out 
 
 `` Uh, well judge.... one, seven, one, eight, six, eight, three, two.'' 
 
 `` **STOP**'' 
 
 The first words of the day Gino uttered, choking back tears. His voice was shaking. There was only one other word of defence stated by Gino and it lost him the case: 
 
 Mom.
