Chapter 182 Judgment
Huadu · Observatory area.
High-end residential area on 14th Street.
【jingle--】
"Mr. Heywood Lawrence, please. Here is a letter from you."
A postman stayed outside the high-end residential area. He rang the doorbell of the residential area. Not long after the doorbell rang, the door was quickly opened, and a handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes came out from inside.
"Are you Mr. Heywood Lawrence?" the postman asked the blond young man respectfully.
When Xia Xiu saw the postman, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and then he replied with a harmonious smile on his face.
"Mr. Heywood Lawrence is inside. I am his friend. You can give me the letter, and I will pass it on to him later."
"Then trouble you."
The postman delivered the letter to the blond young man, and he rode away on his green motorcycle.
Xia Xiu cast his eyes on the mail in his hand, and the corners of his raised mouth had been lowered at this moment, his golden eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of shadow.
"destiny·······"
He had just discussed with Valente where he was going to find the opportunity to unlock the secondary conditions. He didn't expect that someone would send this opportunity to him in the blink of an eye, and he would give away two as soon as he gave it away.
When Xia Xiu saw the postman, the familiar anchor voice of [God's Vision] began to echo in his ears.
[God's Perspective · Private]: Justice is the primary value of a social system, just as truth is the primary value of an ideological system.
[God's Perspective · Private]: The world always hopes to build a perfect social system, but these created systems always have their own problems; the law is the embodiment of justice, and it is one of the systems created by the world. Law Not to be despised, it will prove its worth, and those who uphold the law must have [justice] and [humility] in their hearts.
[Humility]: A humble person thinks from the bottom of his heart that he is no different from others, no matter whether he is noble, rich, commoner or criminal, there is no difference. Therefore, the knight's creed requires maintaining humility and treating himself and others equally.
[Justice]: There is no absolute balance between law and human relationship, so justice is a rare virtue.
This is what the [God's Perspective] broadcast, and Xia Xiu's gaze has already landed on the writing on the top of the letter.
"Notice of Trial".
Signed: Huadu Court.
"Are you so impatient to slay the dragon?" the blond young man muttered to himself.
After observing the letter for a while, Xia Xiu turned around and walked into the courtyard again.
···········
"You asked me to attend the court selection!?" Valente in the living room took the envelope handed over by the blond young man in a daze.
"They have sent over the notice of court selection. If you don't see him, you will lose face." Xia Xiu replied directly to Valente, lying on the sofa.
Valente looked at the recipient's name on the envelope and continued to ask Xia Xiu:
"Who is this Heywood Lawrence?"
"The owner who lived in this house before heard that his factory collapsed a while ago. In order to pay off the debt, the house was sold at a low price. I heard that he owed a whole lot of foreign debt and didn't pay it back. Now I guess People have already run away from Fran." Xia Xiukou replied.
"How can the staff of the court be so negligent, finalize the list of jurors without confirming the situation, and send the notice of the trial." Valente said in disbelief.
France is a jury system for felony cases, that is, a felony court, while civil cases do not use a jury system.
Although there is a court in the name of the felony court, in fact, it is often set up in the appeal courts of Huadu and the major regions.
According to the relevant provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law of France, the main qualifications for serving as a juror include: French nationality, at least 23 years old, citizens who enjoy political rights, civil rights and family rights.
There are even more ineligibility situations. Leaving aside other things, Heywood Lawrence's behavior of running away in debt is not enough to qualify him as a juror, and now the other party is actually selected as one of the jurors. , which is the really outrageous thing to do.
Are the court staff blind?
"Under normal circumstances, such serious mistakes would not occur, but everything is abnormal now." Xia Xiu shrugged and replied.
For the [King of Scarlet], coincidence is his son, he can push together countless unreasonable coincidences to grandma's house, and a wrong court election notice is nothing.
"You mean to let me participate in the trial. People in the court will never fail to see that I am a fake. They don't even have photos on the personnel list."
"I'll bet you tomorrow's breakfast that no one will recognize you when you go to the trial. A one-in-a-million coincidence is just a matter of extra wrist for the fate writer."
"That's why He wants us to win." Valente asked the question Xia Xiu cared most about.
"I do not know."
Xia Xiu shook his head, and he said seriously to Valente:
"He once again gave us the right to choose, and the direction of the story is ultimately determined by our choices."
Valente looked down at the envelope in his hand, then he raised his head, his brown eyes shone with the same dazzling luster as when he first met Xia Xiu.
"Of course I chose to go."
Xia Xiu is not surprised by Valente's decision, and it is more important to grasp any chance of victory that can be grasped than to be paranoid and paranoid.
"The trial is tomorrow. I think we need to prepare well, Juror Heywood Lawrence." Xia Xiu smiled and stood up.
"of course."
Valente also replied with a smile.
···········
The next day.
Huadu Court.
Dark clouds rolled around the corner, and in an instant, heavy rain fell from the sky. Bean-sized raindrops kept falling like pearls with broken strings. The rain became heavier and heavier. The pools of water gathered together were like a mirror, and the whole city was covered. The rain poured down.
A black car was parked in the parking area of Huadu Court. A man in a serious black suit got out of the car holding an umbrella. The man had a pair of beautiful brown eyes, and the lines of his face looked unusually tough. The man The appearance attracted the attention of many people around.
At this moment, those who can come here are basically the jury members this time.
"Valente, people can't see me now, but they can see you, so in order not to let others think you are crazy, when you communicate with me, you can use the gestures we have drawn up in advance."
A young man with blond hair and golden eyes was holding an umbrella and standing beside the man in formal attire. Strangely, the eyes of the people around him never once focused on him, not once, as if the blond young man in front of him was nothing but air.
Valente's right hand holding the umbrella lightly moved, which indicated that he knew.
"There are a total of 12 people participating in the trial, including you. According to regulations, the jury can only judge the facts of the case, and the judge is mainly responsible for the application of penalties. After the trial, the judge and jurors immediately entered the collegiate room to secretly Collegiate. They are not allowed to leave the collegiate room until a final decision has been made."
"The collegiate vote is written. Each judge and juror must follow the principle of free testimony and vote by secret ballot in accordance with various legal matters without being seen by each other."
"After all the ballots are put into the ballot box, the presiding judge shall count the ballots in front of the jurors and jurors, and count the votes and voting results. All blank ballots and ballots deemed invalid by the majority of judges and jurors in the court shall be regarded as The vote counts in favor of the defendant."
"To decide that the defendant is guilty, the felony court must have at least 8 votes in favor. If all three judges find the defendant guilty, at least 3 jurors must vote in favor of the defendant to convict the defendant, accounting for an absolute percentage of the number of jurors. most."
Valente walked forward while Xia Xiu followed him and repeated the relevant content to the other party. At the same time, their eyes turned to the other eleven jurors.
"We only know that this case is a criminal case. An 18-year-old boy was brought to court for allegedly killing his father. The details of the case are unknown, but no matter what kind of case it is, we must satisfy justice."
The blond young man squinted his golden eyes, staring at the court's emblem and said so.
Although the unlocking of the secondary condition of [God's Perspective] was done in the same way as before, they were notified by the riddleman, but this time it clearly pointed out the primary condition-justice.
Whether it is correct, fair, and fully in line with the provisions and spirit of substantive law, the "visible justice" that can make people feel the fairness and rationality of the judgment process-procedural justice.
Or the justice that good people or good deeds should be rewarded with good rewards, and evil people or evil deeds must be rewarded with evil—substantive justice.
One or both must be achieved.
Therefore, as a member of the jury this time, Valente must be cautious and tread on thin ice. He must treat the upcoming case cautiously.
"Should you be the Heywood Lawrence juror?"
A female staff member with light makeup hurriedly came to Valente's side and asked.
"Yes, I am." Valente nodded back.
After hearing Valente's confirmed words, Milian unconsciously showed a relieved expression.
"Please come with me, the court will be held soon." Milian said enthusiastically to Valente.
"Ok."
Milian led Valente into the court, while Xia Xiu rubbed his chin thoughtfully and followed closely.
This Milian seems to have been waiting for Valente. She seems to know the faces of all the other eleven jurors, but she doesn't know Valente's face. Xia Xiu noticed this long ago. The young girl who was waiting in the rain was gone.
Xia Xiu guessed that this girl might have a lot to do with the jury culpability incident, but he didn't intend to delve into it, since everything was arranged by the [Crimson King] anyway.
And Xia Xiu's guess is actually right. Milian is indeed inextricably linked to this oolong incident. All the relevant review materials and photos about Heywood Lawrence were burned because of her fishing at work. In order to keep her job, she performed a series of very magical and mysterious operations, which caused Valente to become "Heywood Lawrence".
As long as the [Crimson King] wants to, he can turn anyone into a "Mr. Bean".
Milian enthusiastically led the false "Heywood Lawrence" to the jury seat and sat down.
Valente was the last juror to arrive at the scene. When he took his seat, the other jurors glanced at him as if nothing had happened, and then they turned their eyes to the court. They didn't talk too much, after all, The 12 people in the trial are all people who have never met before, and they hope that the trial will end sooner than aimless chatting.
The trial began soon, and the defendant was taken to D by the court staff, which is where the defendant (appellee) stood.
The prisoner was a young male. He looked only seventeen or eighteen years old. This age happens to be a good time to enjoy youth, and at the same time, this age is also the easiest to go astray.
The prisoner's face was full of haggardness, and his red eye sockets told everyone present that he had cried.
Soon, the judge started the trial in court, and the court began to operate according to the procedure
The first step is to question the defendant.
"Paul Colin, did you have a fierce quarrel with your father before the incident?"
"I... did have an argument with him, he shouldn't have gambled the money I earned from odd jobs without my consent, it was my college money, I did have an argument with him, But...but I didn't kill him, he is my father!"
The defendant's name was Paul Colin, and he responded excitedly to the judge's accountability.
"you are lying."
The judges stared at Colin with fiery eyes, and Colin was taken aback by the fierce gaze.
"Your neighbor, Mrs. Alice, saw you stabbing your father to death during the quarrel, and a nearby homeless man also heard you say "I'm going to kill you" during the quarrel with your father. discourse."
"I didn't, they they... nonsense, I left the house after arguing with my father."
"So where did you go from home?"
"I... just wandered around the neighborhood."
"Then you can tell us where you have been and there are witnesses at the scene."
"I don't remember, I just felt depressed at the time, I just wanted to find a place with no one..." The boy's voice became more and more anxious, and he was already a little incoherent.
In the ensuing questioning, the juvenile's performance became more and more faltering, and the jury members looked at the juvenile with suspicion.
As time went on, the questioning session ended, and the second session followed, questioning witnesses.
