Chapter 538

Marshall threw Tammy a series of questions, and she got confused. "I don’t remember the exact time,

but the account was created... the year before last year. My first Facebook post was a repost, I think.

I'm the only person with access to the account, and I've never let anyone else use it," she muttered.

Marshall's expression was calm. It was impossible to tell if he had what he wanted to hear. Tammy was

worried that she had said something wrong, but seeing that her lawyer did not say anything, she

relaxed a little.

"May I know when your birthday is, Ms. Gull?"

"July 16th."

"July 16th..." Marshall repeated the answer and suddenly said, "To my knowledge, Ms. Gull, you

wished yourself a happy birthday in a post you made on February 19th. I'm sure you don't have two

birthdays now, do you?"

Tammy's face changed. February 19th was not her birthday, but Bella's. Bella had always used that

account, so she did not know what she had posted. 'Oh, what an idiot! Why did she post her private

details on a burner account?!'

"Answer the question, Ms. Gull."

Marshall was even more intimidating than the judge, and Tammy unconsciously became nervous.

"February 19th is my client's idol's birthday. Fans wish their idols happy birthday all the time. So I don't

think there's a problem with that, right?"

"No, of course not," Marshall said lightly. "I just find it strange that you wrote 'happy birthday to me'

instead of 'happy birthday to my idol'. This is my first time seeing a fan post something like that." He

then turned to the

judge and said, "No further questions, your honor.”

The crowd went into a craze of discussion once again. Bella's birthday was certainly no secret to her

fans. It was also very common for fans to create birthday posts for their idols, but wishing yourself a

happy birthday on your idol's birthday was rather bizarre. Moreover, fans usually post pictures of their

idols along with their birthday wish, unlike Tammy's post, which included a picture of a cake and the

caption: [Happy birthday to me],

Marshall finished his questioning and left the people to speculate the rest. After presenting all the

evidence and counterarguments, the jurors discussed their decision on the spot and came up with a

judgment.

Tammy and the others were convicted of insult and had to publicly apologize to the plaintiff on

Facebook and other public platforms. The apology letter will be publicized for more than seven days,

and the offenders had to provide a total of seventy-six thousand dollars as compensation for emotional

damages. A sentencing date will then be chosen for the crime of defamation.

The result of the lawsuit was well within Stella's expectations. Though seventy-six thousand dollars

from four people was not much, the end judgment was significant.

Cyberbullying was not a matter to joke about. In recent years, this form of abuse had cost people their

lives while the perpetrators often escape from responsibility. Victims of cyberbullying could really

benefit from the law being by their side so they could have the courage to stand up against the abuse.

Stella did not mind being the leader of this movement. After the trial ended, reporters who had been

waiting to interview Stella rushed to surround her after she left the court.

Stella was kind to the people. She stood at the steps in front of the courthouse and said, "Safety first,

everyone. There's no need to push. I promised to make some time for an interview, and I intend to

keep my promise. You can ask me anything you like, but please keep in mind that I only have 10

minutes to spare. I still have some personal affairs to attend to, and I hope you can understand that."

The reporters thought they were interviewing an angel since many big-shot celebrities nowadays don't

see the paparazzi as people anymore. They often needed the media to create exposure for them, but

diss the entertainment journalist career both secretly and openly.

Stella, on the other hand, was frank and respected the people, which made her highly attractive.

"Ms. Jewell, do you know that everyone calls you the queen of legal drama?

Stella was a little surprised. She had not been on the internet since she had a lot of stuff going on and

did not know people called her that. "Is it because I'm good at acting like a psycho?" she asked.
