Plevako Chapter 1
In this note I'll tell you about the brilliant historical person and the famous Russian lawyer Fyodor Nikiforovich Plevako (Федор Никифорович Плевако). Plevako was born in 1842 and died in 1909.
The Case about The Priest Who Was Blamed in Larceny
А Russian priest had stolen the church's money. Plevako made a bet with manufacturer Morozov about this case. The lawyer made a promise to acquit the thief in the court session in one minute!
The court session started, the fault was completely proven, and the Priest admitted himself. All of the witnesses were against him. The public prosecutor delivered a strong speech. All this time Plevako sat and kept silent, he had not even asked the witness any questions. Then he got up and adressed the jury with sincere words "Misters jurors! More than twenty years my client gives absolution of yours. Only one time let's do the same thing for him!"
The priest was completely justified.0 votedJune 19, 20120
