Chapter 562 The laws of the United States are a joke (first update, please subscribe)
The "Los Angeles Massacre" not only shocked the Americas, but also shocked Europe. Most countries, including France and the United Kingdom, have issued official statements, accusing the mobs of atrocities, but they also believe that the United States, which is a "civilized country", This matter will be handled properly.

Of course, if it was in the past, no one would care about the life and death of Chinese people at all, but it is different now.

With Daming everything is different from the past.In the past, no one cared, but now Daming cares!
If Daming cares, others must care.

For such a change, Guo Songtao, the Minister to the UK, was deeply moved, but his feelings belonged to his feelings. Facing the aggressive decision of Ming Dynasty to uphold justice for the Chinese, he was a little embarrassed as a minister, because those people were The Qing Dynasty passed away!

Especially when journalists asked him how the Qing Dynasty would deal with this matter, he was even more embarrassed.

how to answer?

Protection of expatriates?

My Qing Dynasty is "invincible under licking" not "invincible under heaven", protection?What protection?In fact, if it wasn't for the uproar caused by this incident, the Qing Dynasty would have just closed its eyes and turned a blind eye.

Then it didn't happen.But it can't work now, people have come to ask, and they have to answer.

"We believe that the United States of America will deal with it fairly under the law!"

Fair deal!

Yes, the United States is a civilized country ruled by law, at least in the eyes of Europeans, the United States is civilized, ruled by law, and is...

So, they all seem to believe that it will eventually be resolved within the confines of the law.

Amid accusations from European countries, the trial presided over by federal judge Hale began in a Los Angeles court. Under pressure, Los Angeles prosecutors charged nine white mobs with "manslaughter".

"...I rushed in bravely and saw a Chinese man with a gunshot wound on his body. Then I was attacked with a gun, and I had to retreat and lost the gun."

In court, Police Officer Jesse Beardland was present as a witness. In fact, many thugs were present as witnesses. All their testimonies were telling a lie—the Chinese killed in the infighting Robert Thompson, who tried to stop the fight, attacked the officer.

"Officer Beardland, according to the evidence we have collected, you were in Yuan's grocery store when the incident happened. There are testimonies that show that you went to his grocery store with Robert Thompson and others to blackmail them, right?"

As soon as the lawyer finished speaking, there was booing in the courtroom, even the jurors booed. Although the judge was sent by the federal government, the jurors were all selected locally.

Faced with booing in the courtroom, Hale, as a judge, felt helpless. There is no doubt that this was an atrocity-172 of the 18 Chinese people who were tied up died.The death toll accounted for more than 10% of the total Chinese population in Los Angeles.Moreover, the total population of Los Angeles at this time was only over 0.36, and the death toll accounted for [-]% of the total population.That's a lot in proportion.

It was an absolute carnage.

But the problem is that no one cares about them, at least in Los Angeles, or even in California, no one cares about the life and death of these Chinese people.Even the prosecutor charged him with "manslaughter" very perfunctorily.

As a federal judge, he was also very helpless about this. Although he tried to ask the prosecutor to prosecute with "intentional homicide", he was rejected by the other party.

"I really can't find any trace of deliberation!"

From the prosecutors to the jurors, to the citizens of Los Angeles, no one was sad for the killing of Chinese. They even talked about the massacre with excitement that day. Many people felt sorry for not being able to kill more Chinese.

This is a doomed trial.

Facing the iron-clad evidence, the 9 criminals who were finally brought to court were only sentenced to 2-6 years in prison.Their charges were not murder, but manslaughter.

When the result of the trial was announced, there were boos in the courtroom, and Hale, a federal judge, said directly.

"This judgment is made due to the limitations of the evidence currently available..."

Although he believes that officials of the Los Angeles City Government participated in the cover-up of the massacre, resulting in high disagreement between government officials and the killer's testimony, so he could not convict the killer for murder.But so what?

"I hope that the Los Angeles authorities can seriously reflect on this incident and prevent similar tragedies from happening again."

When the result came out, the mob's defense attorneys shouted at reporters outside the courtroom as they walked out of the courtroom.

"This is an unfair trial. We saw the federal judge unreasonably and arbitrarily interfering in the state's justice. Tom Hanger and other nine gentlemen, they are innocent. Those Chinese died in self-defense, sir. Folks, this is an unfair trial!"

This is an unfair trial!
It seemed to everyone that this was an unfair trial, for the people of Los Angeles, who felt it was unfair that the nine "brave" were sentenced, and in Sacramento, the capital of California, where Governor Newton Booth was awarded After knowing the result of the trial, he declared to the press.

"It was a fair trial, and despite a tragedy in Los Angeles, not only was the tragedy stopped quickly, but we see that the laws of the United States are still in force, and the thugs got what they deserved, God You can testify that justice has finally come!"

Faced with the governor's answer, since some people applauded, some people booed.

"Mr. Governor, do you think this is really justice?"

Someone among the reporters asked loudly.

"Of course, they have all received their due punishment!"

Newton Booth didn't have any good feelings for those Chinese. He even advocated anti-Chinese many times in order to win the votes of white people, and he is doing the same now.

Faced with such an answer from the governor, some reporters booed directly. In their view, this was simply fooling the law and everyone, but even their boos did not affect Newton Booth, he still Keep smiling.

Just then, another reporter asked.

"Mr. Governor, do you think such a result can satisfy the Ming Empire and appease their anger?"

Facing the reporter's question, the governor said in an aggrieved tone.

"Sir, as we all know, the judiciary in the United States is independent. Even as the governor, I can't interfere with the judge's decision. Besides, I believe this is definitely a fair trial! As for whether the Ming Empire is satisfied, this is not in our consideration at all. Within, after all, the judiciary in the United States is independent, and the laws of the United States are fair."

When he said these words, he was completely brazen, as if he really said what he said.It was a fair trial and he did not interfere with justice as governor.

He simply did not bow to pressure from Washington.Why should he give in to the pressure over there?
As the governor, he certainly respects the law and the judicial system.

You see now.

How fair this trial is!It fully proves to the world how advanced the American system is.
