A lawyer needs a p mind.——青夏教育精英家教网—

Making the judges believe

　　Vallandigham was a lawyer. In his last appearance in the courtroom, he represented a client（委托人）on trial for murder. He insisted that the victim（受害人）had drawn his own gun in a way that caused it to fire, killing himself. To prove what he said was true, Vallandigham showed the victim's method of drawing a gun using the evidence gun filled with bullets. The gun went off, and he lost his life but proved his case.

Gone fishing

　　A fisherman in Kiev killed himself by electricity while fishing in the river. The 43-year-old man connected cables to the main power supply of his home and put the end into the river. The electric shock killed the fish, which floated to the top of the water. The man stepped into the river to collect his catch, forgetting to remove the live wire, and terribly suffered the same fate as the fish. The man was fishing for a mourning meal to remember the first anniversary（周年纪念）of his mother-in-law's death.

Wrong and wronger

　　A 40-year-old official of the local government took his dog out for a walk. He met with a Police Academy student who was guarding two women to their homes. The student pointed out that the official's dog was not allowed on a public street without a lead. Now, no one would be brave enough to tell a village official what to do, so the two men began to argue. Unable to resolve the matter by oral means, the official finally pulled out a military RGD-5 hand grenade（手榴弹）and threw it to the student's feet. His well-trained dog immediately ran for the object and fetched it for his master…and the man and dog met the same fate.

What's that sound?

　　Police said an Olathe man was struck and killed by a train after his vehicle broke down on Interstate 35. His attempts to repairing his car had failed, and he had stepped away from the busy freeway to call for help, when the train engineer spotted him standing on the tracks. The engineer said the man was holding a cell phone to one ear, and cupping his hand to the other ear to block the noise of the train.

There were fears that the items may have contained the cancer－causing coloring Sudan I．Do you have any desire to take the food provider to court because it feeds you something dangerous?

　　After all, the law supposedly gives people the right to fight for their rights．But some experts have said it might not be so wise to take the company directly to court．

　　Qiu Baochang, a lawyer in Beijing, suggested that consumers not take the company directly to court．“In addition to the high costs, consumers’complaints are unlikely to win unless they can prove they have had the banned dye at KFC,”－Qiu explained．

　　If they can prove that their health has been damaged by KFC, they can cue(控告)the company．But that would be almost impossible to do so because the Sudan I damage is a long－term effect and is not immediately apparent．
