Paxton Case

===Case===
The Paxton case was a warehouse collapse due to Mr. Paxton's
company improperly storing Antarctic Vibranium (a "harmful substance which creates vibrations that break down the molecular cohesion of all metals").
====Actors====
The Judge Gibson presided the court.
The District Attorney on this case was Blake Tower, with Jen Walters (She-Hulk).
The prosecutor's office was a team of lawyers: Goodman, Lieber, Kurtzberg & Holliway, including Holden Holliway, Augustus "Pug" Pugliese and Mallory Book. GLK&H were in fact at that trial only because She-Hulk was the lawyer assigned to this case.
====Progress====
====Day 1====
Mr. Paxton agreed to pay for all the damage done to nearby structures and property, but none for the people affected due to the iron in their blood: Without iron to build hemoglobin, the victims could develop liver disease, heart disease, cancer, diabetes...
Jen Walters called an hematologist (blood specialist) to the stand on that matter.
In the middle of Jen Walters' closing argument, an emergency call from the Avengers (to battle M.O.D.O.K.) forced her to quit the court, under the protestation of Mallory Book and accord of Judge Gibson who considered that "for the sake of the greater good... ...Avengers business must take precedence", and reported the case to the next day.
====Day 2====
The next day, Jen Walters ended her closing argument.
The jury deliberated within a "new land-speed record" time, and found Mr. Paxton guilty.
====Mistrial====
The very next day, GLK&H successfully got a mistrial on the case, as it was considered that She-Hulk emergency call to save the world from M.O.D.O.K. had gave her undue leverage over the jury, explaining their speedy verdict.
That mistrial decision caused a precedent
It also influenced Tower to let go Jen Walters.
