Piper Lynch v. The Los Santos Network

CLOSING STATEMENT
Your Honor, this case reveals how an act of clear journalist integrity has been breached. Moreover, the defendant's wrong statement has not only violated my client's reputation but has also undermined the trust placed in responsible reporting by the general public.

These facts leave little doubt that the defendant acted in a reckless and unprofessional manner. For the first time, the court has an opportunity to affirm the importance of accountability and to ensure that this misconduct does not go unanswered.

We trust in the court's judgment to uphold justice in this matter. Thank you.

[Elliot Reynolds]

CLOSING STATEMENT

Your Honor,

This case clearly shows that Jonathan Hobbs acted independently and without authorization from TLSN when he made the statement about Mrs. Lynch. His actions violated our strict professional guidelines, and TLSN should not be held accountable for his personal error.

We respectfully ask the court to dismiss the claims against TLSN and hold Mr. Hobbs personally responsible for his actions.

Thank you.

Elliot Reynolds
State Licensed Attorney

HONORABLE JUDGE PRESIDING:
Kira Hernandez

The First Judicial District Court recognises this civil case as submitted by State Licensed Attorney Harry Kingsman on behalf of Mrs. Piper Lynch. Let it be recognised that the court has assigned this case ID # CV-0119. The evidence provided in the initial documentation provided by the prosecution against The Los Santos Network, henceforth the Defendant, counseled by State Licensed Attorney Elliot Reynolds, is deemed as sufficient and removes any possibility for summary dismissal.

I. FINDINGS
The news that were published by The Los Santos Network is valid, the company is deemed responsible for the publishing, by allowing their own employee whilst being a Trainee to post publicly.
The career of the Trainee Journalist Jonathan Hobbs on the San Andreas Police Department is irrelevant, as the matter is against the Los Santos Network company. Therefore that statement is dismissed.
