better from oil today you have thousands of guys that are millionaires every house worth of million dollars not a big deal but in those days a millionaires unheard of a million dollar fine who had a million dollars to pay a fine not again and the guy says I'm just telling you we're gonna fight the case we're gonna help you but it's not gonna happen so he came to this someone told him that the eighths are for you is is to go to the ribnitzer ever he he has the hands he he controls he has a better punished on the Abbott muffs so the seed went to the berivative forever I remember when it happened and the rivers the river took the unit very warmly and he listened to the whole story and he told the kids you think that two goyam are going to decide what's gonna happen to you they're buying something decides what's going to happen to you and I'm giving you a brochure and I've taught her that you're going to be fine everything's gonna be okay so the year told her ever I know that I have to do something today that I should win how am I going to win so the rabbit told him you're gonna listen to me and if you listen properly you are going to be saved from everything so that you said I'm ready to do whatever that ever tells me so the remnants of rabbit told him that he should prepare before the court case he should take a copy of the of the vidui of yoemakipuram and thou hates and his learn up to shut them and understand everything what it means and then he should take it on paper copies of paper to court and when the prosecutor starts to talk you should start saying we do it like it's yeah but not stop saying video say it cry mean it talk to Hashem like it's your life like you're getting this is your last chance and if you do that you're going to come out Noki nitsarazu today came the Judgment Day and the seed came to court and he came with his papers and the prosecutor got up and the judge called him up and said prosecutor you have a problem with this guy let's see what you have what to say and the prosecutor took out his big folder notebook mama that's a file that he had and he started to go and he started to darshan how this guy he did this ovarian and he does this and that the whole story isn't exactly what he did Mommy just made it into zabinian autism and therefore he deserves to get life in prison and he deserves to pay five million dollars class and he went at it for an hour meanwhile this yid look at his papers and he started saying video and he totally zoned out of the prosecutor he had no idea what was going on in court what the guy was saying he starts talking to Hashem osham and he starts crying and bitter tears are falling out of his eyes and he's sobbing in his shaking but God knew and he's thinking of the peer shamilas and the shot of what it means and he goes through the whole Ash and this the pages are getting sapping wet from tears and he went to that hates one after the other and he's crying away and then finally he's about to finish and he out of his trance he is a zest he looks up and he sees the judge has just banged his gavel prosecutor finished speaking and now the judge wants quiet in the clear in the in the courtroom and he figures now that they're going to call the defense lawyer and he's gonna see what his lawyer says before the judge calls the defense lawyer the judge addresses the audience and the judge says ladies and gentlemen today we've had a court case and the prosecutor laid out well the crimes that this man did and every every person in this room had their eyes on the defendant and they were watching the defendant and we all saw what we saw in the courtroom today I've been a judge for over 50 years in my life I never saw a person as remorseful as this defendant was today he was so remorseful the tears were flowing out of his eyes look at his papers they're sapping wet he feels so bad for what he did and therefore I want to tell everybody my feelings why do we punish someone why do we send him to jail we sent him to jail that they should realize that they did a crime they should become remorseful and it should be a deterrent that they should never do the crime again ladies and gentlemen this man is already there this man has already gotten to the point of remorse like we never saw in our lives this person probably would never do uh uh a civil crime any crime a traffic ticket he probably won't do anymore he's so remorseful and there's no purpose in putting him in jail there's no purpose in giving him a fine and therefore I rule and he bangs the gavel down that this man is free to go he's done everything he needs have a great day you're dismissed from the courtroom and everybody got up and it was quiet and there was one person in the room that was exploding and that was the prosecutor and he ran to the bench and he was red and purple and he was steam was coming out of his nose and his ears and he was so mad he worked for the list six months to a year building a case exactly how to put this unit away for life he thought he's going to have it in the papers tomorrow with them from the Sid and of all the years and we're going to put all a bunch of themes and all a bunch of this and a whole bunch of that and the table's turned and everybody saw what happened to the thing and he went to the judge and he says never is there any been any case where a judge has allowed someone to get off before even the defense had a say in the matter what kind of business is this and he started screaming at the judge for 20 minutes and the judge was quiet the whole time and he let the prosecutor vent and then afterwards he says the judge tells the prosecutor I guess you weren't listening to what I said I didn't say he didn't do the crime I said he doesn't have to do the time I said he doesn't have to pay the canas because he's remorseful have you ever met someone that's remorseful you know it's not easy you came back to the rivers forever and he brought some liquor from to celebrate his victory and it ever tells them you know why you won he says no so I won because the devil gave me a bracha he said I'll tell you why you want you know people have harata they do chuva they say video but most of the time it's it's just superficial it's not real it's not from deep within didn't shed a tear they said a Shamu eight times nine times our hates did they shed one tear no is that everything clapped a bunch of times but were they remorseful did they really feel bad that they heard that because by doing anavera but you you weren't saying I'm sorry to the judge you weren't saying I'm sorry to the prosecutor or to the United States government you were saying video Hashem and when you said videos and you really really did chew about Oya varus you became Queen and if you became clean there's no purpose for you to get any punishment anymore and that's why you came out of winning and that's a message for all of us that if we want a good year we have to really take it seriously our children and our video it's not just to promise Hashem I promise you I'm going to try my best I'm not gonna do it anymore I'm not gonna do go there I'm not gonna do that it's because it's just saying it we have to really really feel it we have to really feel bad and if we do that we'll also get that brother also get that good year I mean there's nothing wrong because nothing is great as getting a broker from the Rhythm it's a rabbit helps and it does the trick there's no more ribbon forever you can go to his caver but you gotta do it on your own you gotta be remorseful that's what is the trick and Avada once we know the trick we have to utilize the trick we have to attack a get the sea after the shmaya and and and and do real true enjoyed this
