00:00 So actually this is what I was discussing to you about.
00:03 Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!
00:07 [Music]
00:30 The surest way to lose the respect of the judge
00:34 and to show disrespect to the court proceedings
00:37 is to come to your court date late.
00:40 Ma'am, sorry.
00:43 It's hard for me to find the AVR.
00:46 If you are accused of a crime,
00:49 you will be absolved if your alibi is acceptable to the court.
00:53 In this case, I am not accepting your conviction.
00:57 How can you learn court etiquette
01:01 if you are late to our lecture seminar?
01:04 Please leave my class.
01:06 Are you okay?
01:08 Ma'am, I'm sorry. I hurt my head.
01:12 I think we should take you to the hospital
01:16 so that we can make sure that you don't have any problems.
01:21 Lady Justice,
01:23 you are right.
01:26 Don't you remember me?
01:28 Lady Justice?
01:30 I don't know if I'm going to be flattered with that.
01:33 But my name is Atorney Simmons.
01:36 Atorney Meredith Simmons
01:39 and I don't tolerate latecomers to my class.
01:42 Leave!
01:44 What?
01:46 Leave!
01:47 But you are the one who told me that to live in our world,
01:51 you should be brave.
01:53 You should fight.
01:55 That's right.
01:59 You should know your worth so that you won't be abused.
02:02 So please let me defend myself.
02:06 Oh, Lillen.
02:09 You just turned this boring lecture very exciting.
02:12 So okay, defend yourself.
02:16 But please don't waste our time.
02:19 That's why I was late because someone cheated on me.
02:22 [dramatic music]
02:24 Wait, what?
02:33 Are you serious?
02:35 Are you really going to pull others down just to save yourself from your incompetence?
02:40 You know what?
02:43 I'm not taking this lightly, Lillet.
02:45 Who's your witness then?
02:48 What's your proof?
02:50 Am I really the one you're going to pretend to be?
02:52 Ms. Matias,
02:54 you should realize that you just presented another argument
02:58 that is too unrelated to your first statement.
03:01 What was that again?
03:03 You just had a hard time finding the venue of the lecture,
03:06 and now,
03:08 someone cheated on you.
03:11 Ati, what's the truth?
03:14 Both.
03:17 Being my classmate, Melissa also goes to this school,
03:19 and is therefore a credible source of information.
03:22 That's why I believe that she will tell the truth.
03:24 So whether Melissa said the right directions or not,
03:29 did you verify that statement?
03:32 She said it.
03:34 Did you verify your source?
03:36 Verification attests that,
03:40 number one, there is truthfulness in the allegation of the pleading.
03:46 Number two, the pleading is done in good faith.
03:49 And number three,
03:51 there is enough evidence to support the allegation.
03:55 I just trusted her.
04:03 Trust.
04:06 It is important to note that trust alone is not sufficient in your criminal defense.
04:13 The success of your criminal defense lies in two things.
04:16 Trust and a comprehensive defense strategy,
04:20 which you don't have, Ms. Matias.
04:23 So please leave my class.
04:26 This is a reminder to everyone
04:38 to make sure you know the fundamentals of the law.
04:42 This will be your weapon
04:44 to fight all the cases you will face.
04:48 And you, Ms. Matias, looks like,
04:51 you still have a lot of rice to eat.
04:54 It's better if you leave my class.
