<FONT face=Verdana><FONT color=#000080 size=5>被告（The Accused）</FONT> </FONT><br>
<P><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffc0cb" color=#000080>读故事</FONT></P>
<P>Bob is an excellent trial lawyer with a superior legal <FONT color=#dc143c>acumen</FONT>. Unlike many other lawyers that need to use <FONT color=#dc143c>acronyms</FONT> to remember certain legal principles, Bob simply uses his photographic memory. What makes Bob even more special is his <FONT color=#dc143c>acute</FONT> sense for reading people’s emotions, especially those of jurors.</P>
<P>Due to his reputation, he is able to <FONT color=#dc143c>acquire</FONT> the most interesting cases. His jealous competitors often <FONT color=#dc143c>accuse</FONT> him of being too <FONT color=#dc143c>acquisitive</FONT> and taking away their business. But I respect Bob for his many <FONT color=#dc143c>achievements</FONT>. I remember the first trial he ever did.<BR>Bob was hired by an <FONT color=#dc143c>acquaintance</FONT> named Jim was <FONT color=#dc143c>accused</FONT> of internationally throwing <FONT color=#dc143c>acid</FONT> on another man’s arm in a laboratory where they were both <FONT color=#dc143c>activating</FONT> chemicals. Jim was <FONT color=#dc143c>adamant</FONT> that the <FONT color=#dc143c>accusation</FONT> was false. He claimed it was an accident that occurred during an argument. Being a contract lawyer, Bob was not <FONT color=#dc143c>accustomed</FONT> to handling trials in front of a jury. However, he agreed to the <FONT color=#dc143c>acquisition</FONT> of Jim’s case because he strongly believed in Jim’s innocence. The thought of an innocent man being convicted of a crime he didn’t commit <FONT color=#dc143c>actuated</FONT> Bob’s hidden trial skills.</P>
<P>At the trial, Bob proved that the other man caused his own injury by pushing Jim while Jim was working with dangerous chemicals. Bob also proved that the man’s claim of an <FONT color=#dc143c>acute</FONT> injury was false. The <FONT color=#dc143c>actual</FONT> injury was minor. Bob asked the jury to <FONT color=#dc143c>acquit</FONT> Jim of all criminal charges. Amazingly, Bob <FONT color=#dc143c>achieved</FONT> and <FONT color=#dc143c>acquittal</FONT> for Jim.<BR>I’ll never forget what Bob did for Jim, because I was there. I am Jim. In fact, I still remember the <FONT color=#dc143c>adage</FONT> Bob used to explain why he took my case for free. He said, “In doing, we learn.”</P>
