The street lawyer.-

He had read a lot of these lawsuits across the US.He offered fifty thousand dollars for each child. He became boring. He started to discuss the amount of money. Lontae had lost because she died and so she did not go to work. That was added to the money you usually got for dead children. In total, he offered seven hundred and seventy thousand dollars.



-Is that your final offer, Mr R? asked jugde De Orio. He looked like he hoped it was not.


-No, sir, Rafter said.

-Mr Green.


Morcadei Stood again.

.We do not accept their offer, Judge De Orio Sir, this talk of the value of each child means nothing to me. I know how much I can get if this comes to court and the people of W decide.And that is a lot more than Mr R is offering.



These children were, of course, homeless black children. Mr R you have a son at private school. Would you take fifty thousands dollars for him?




Rafter looked down and did not reply.



-I can walk into a W court and I can get a million dollars each for Lontae Burton s Little children. That is the same as any child in an expensive school in Virginia or Maryland.



Morcadei then talked about the last hours of Lontae Burton and her family, as he had a good story to tell.



His voice went up and then down in anger. At the end he pointed at the Drake and S lawyers, speaking for them.


-Those people in that warehouse, he shouted.


-They are just a bunch of squatters.Trow them out !



He asked for four million dollars. It was silent in the room when he finished .Judge De Orio made some notes. The next thing to discuss was the file.



-Do you have the file ? Judge De Orio asked me.
