my wife is a consul

Chapter 696 Legal Ceiling

In the reception room of the chief's office, Barber was listening to Lu Ming talk about Field's case in a daze, and had a faint illusion, as if he had seen his former mentor.

"We issued an order in June this year to lift the state of war in big cities. From a common sense, it is difficult to convict the atrocities committed in the state of war before. The defense lawyer of the other party can use Field's mental state and other factors to make an excuse, and I estimate that the other party's lawyer must apply for a jury trial, because the jurors will all be soldiers from Sonia, and they will naturally take Field's position."

"It seems that we are at a big disadvantage. However, this case cannot be viewed purely from the law. General Denitz hopes to show goodwill to the Tubang people through this case. The other party's lawyer will get hints. Therefore, he may follow the Field was in jail for a few months to fight in the direction."

"Our goal is to put Field in prison for more than ten years. Personally, I hope that his sentence will exceed 20 years."

Barbour couldn't help but be stupefied.

Lu Ming smiled: "You need to work hard!" He patted him on the shoulder.

"As I said earlier, it seems that it is difficult for him to be convicted because of psychological factors and the so-called state of war. However, he did not just commit an atrocity, which involved military family members. He raped and killed civilians. For girls, there are more than a dozen cases that have been collected for evidence collection, and they were even brought to court by a brave local lawyer, right?"

Barber nodded slightly. He knew this and knew that this lawyer was so powerful that he even had to summon Field to the Tubang puppet court. However, Field never appeared in court. Later, the lawyer drowned and died of drunkenness, and the case was over. .

Lu Ming said: "You can bring these dozens of cases to our military court to prove that Field is actually a devil, and the so-called state of war can't be his fig leaf."

Barber smiled wryly: "But Chief, this lawsuit has not been decided by the court, so it can't be used as evidence?"

Lu Ming said: "Just let the jury see these evidences. I have collected the files of these cases for you. They are all the evidence originally collected by the reporter, including many cruel photos. You can show the jury to make them forget. The identities of Tubang and Sonia affect them and let them imagine how cruel it would be if these were their sisters, wives and daughters."

Bob nodded silently.

Lu Ming added: "Of course, the opposing party's lawyer may use the principle of prohibiting double jeopardy to prohibit the presentation of these evidences."

The so-called principle of prohibition of double jeopardy is the vernacular saying that one case does not double jeopardy, and one case does not double jeopardize.

Barbour was taken aback: "However, the court has not yet ruled, and even the trial procedure has just begun, so it does not violate this principle?"

Lu Ming smiled: "If you are a senior judge, you will definitely use this principle, because what is called double jeopardy is never based on the court's judgment, but as long as the judicial process creates danger to the defendant, Then the defendant should not be subject to second jeopardy. In this case, Field has been summoned by the court, and the outside media has made a fuss, which constitutes a danger to Field."

Suddenly, Barber smiled wryly and said, "As for the civil law, it seems that I still need to seriously study it."

Lu Ming nodded: "The other party is also a military lawyer. I'm afraid he won't think of this principle, but I will find a way to inspire him."

Barbour was even more stunned, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Lu Ming said with a smile: "It is to make him think that according to this principle, the evidence of the cases we cited will not be presented in court at all, so he will be very sure that he will not have any doubts about how to deal with the evidence of these cases. We will make too much preparation so that we can kill with one blow."

Looking at Barber, Lu Ming continued: "The point we are fighting is the military court. Does it belong to the normal judicial system? In fact, we have an independent judicial institution, a separate prison, and separate punishment standards. In the Western Regions, Except for the big cities, they are all in a state of war. In fact, from any point of view, the judgments made by our military courts are military orders and are independent of the judicial system. Therefore, although the local courts have formed However, the trial of our military court does not involve the principle of double jeopardy, but uses the procedure of military orders to punish officers and soldiers who violate our military regulations."

Barber's head was covered with sweat, and it took a while before he finally understood what the chief was talking about.

This, is this how the lawsuit is fought?All kinds of tricks, and the trap is only useful if the other party is a senior lawyer, and the senior lawyer can think of a seemingly clever countermeasure after his own move. If you are not a senior lawyer, your own side has to remind the other party, hey, you have a trick Skillful.

Then, in fact, this seemingly very clever hand is actually a set in the middle of sending the other party to hell.

Barber was sweating profusely for a while, feeling as if the previous world had been subverted, and he knew a whole new world.

Lu Ming continued: "After this case, I think the Supreme Court will interpret the law and incorporate the military court system into the judicial system. Our military legal procedures will be further improved, but that will be a matter of the future. At least for now, this prohibition of double The principle of danger cannot be introduced into our trial, but, what to say, we will study it."

Barber immediately nodded again and again, convinced, and listened to Lu Ming's explanation, asking questions like a primary school student on a pilgrimage.

When the two finished, it was already dark, and Lu Ming nodded in satisfaction. This Bobble has a good understanding.

"I'm going back for the New Year's Eve dinner. This case will be in the next year. During this time, you just digest what I said, um, happy new year!" Lu Ming patted Barber on the shoulder.

Barron looked at Lu Ming earnestly, wanting to say something.

Lu Ming smiled and made a zipper gesture around his mouth.

Barron nodded again and again: "Chief, I know, I know!"

Lu Ming smiled slightly: "Okay, you are welcome to come and chat with me often in the future, but in terms of law, I just learned these three tricks from experts."

Barron nodded: "Yes, I understand!"

……

In the confinement room of the military barracks, a small hard bed and toilet are together, and the huge body of the bone spear is difficult to turn around in it.

After opening the door, the guard left. Lu Ming could only stand at the door and talk to him.

"Basically, I think the sentencing can be more than ten years, maybe longer. I know you want his life very much, but don't worry. He will be locked up in a military prison in the Western Regions. Let's take it slowly. There will be chances in the future, but now, is it what your sister wants to see if you exchange his life for another?" Lu Ming said, and handed over a paper bag, "Think about it carefully, here, New Year's Eve dinner, I’m going home to have New Year’s Eve dinner too!”

Indeed, if he doesn't return to Shengjing, he won't be able to catch up with his real reunion dinner.

As for what he brought to Bone Mauluo, it was of course top-quality steak and good wine. Although it was not his genuine century-old brandy, which was a bit of a blend, it definitely tasted much better than the top-quality brandy worth hundreds of dollars.

Over there, Bone Spear nodded silently, and soon, the iron door was shut tightly with a bang.

Bone Mauro opened the paper bag, and inside was a large piece of steak and a bottle of brandy. Looking carefully at the logo, this bottle of brandy turned out to be the legendary Maga Brandy. The last bottle was drunk as a prank by the former emperor of the empire before he passed away, but then someone discovered the treasure puree in an abandoned wine cellar. I don’t know how many bottles were blended. The top tycoons in the empire offered tens of thousands of dollars, but they couldn't find a way to buy it.

The wine worms had been raging in his body for a long time, Bone Mauro bit off the cork on the wine bottle and spat it aside, leaned his neck back and poured it.

Suddenly Bone Mauluo froze, stood still suddenly, picked up the wine bottle and looked at it seriously, his eyes were extremely surprised.

Next, I want to find a wine glass, but look around, where is there a wine glass here?He could only sip lightly, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.
