Chapter 114 Judgment
The emergence of a new technology is often not only used in the original target field, but also benefits other fields.

This is the first time that a microscope has appeared in a courtroom. The hair found at the scene, the hair on the body of the deceased, and the hairs of two golden retriever dogs were placed under the microscope together. Arrived locals and foreign businessmen were invited to the stage to make a distinction.

Under the microscope, the thickness and color of two human hairs are the same, which is obviously different from dog hair, which is enough for them.

At the suggestion of a businessman in a plaid skirt, everyone signed a physical evidence appraisal.

Next came the identification of the bloodstains. The doctors invited by Frank to write the "Manual for the Treatment of Common Diseases" unanimously determined that it was human blood, and issued a physical evidence identification certificate in the name of the doctor.

The defendant's lawyer had nothing to say, and whispered to Chapper, "I'm sorry, I tried my best on this."

Chai Po grimaced and replied helplessly: "It's not your fault."

He knew that these lawyers were with him, so they were naturally nice to speak at this time.

But Chapper has one more thing to worry about.

Sure enough, Dominique showed off the bloody clothes and pants found in Chapper's room.

There was an uproar at the scene. The clothes and the front half of the trousers were covered with blood, and now they have turned dark red.

Before Chaiper could come up with an excuse, another defendant's lawyer asked, "Your Magistrate, how do you prove that the blood on the clothes belonged to the deceased?"

Dominique replied calmly, "I can't prove it."

Chai Po's beating heart calmed down in an instant, and he said with a smile: "I killed a few robbers on the way to Wesson. I keep these clothes to show off to my friends when I go back!"

At this moment, Otto hit the table with a wooden hammer and asked Chapper, "Is what you said true?"

Chaiper subconsciously believed that it was these clothes that could connect himself with the deceased, so he replied with certainty: "Yes, what I said is true. This happened 10 days ago."

The defendant's lawyers immediately looked at each other, and it was over, this teammate couldn't move.

At this time, the plaintiff's lawyer asked: "Can the defendant explain why the blood stain on your clothes is as dry as the blood stain left at the scene?"

Chai Po was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Isn't all that blood done?"

Dominique looked at this guy like a fool, and then said to the judge: "The blood dries from the outside to the inside. When it dries, it will form a hard shell, and the blood inside will not completely dry after three to five days."

"It can be judged from this that the blood on the defendant's clothes was stained yesterday."

He was a little thankful, because these clothes were thrown under the bed after they were taken off, forming a hard shell, otherwise it would be difficult to judge the time.

Chaiper realized that the situation was not good, and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

At this time, Dominic presented the most important piece of physical evidence-the dagger found in the sewer.

The coat of arms on this dagger was exactly the same as that on Chapper's buttons, and matched the scabbard found in his room, and even more so with the wound on the corpse.

Chaiper trembled instantly, and his back was soaked in cold sweat. They didn't expect that they could fish such a small thing out of the sewer.

The next step is the testimony of witnesses. The people in the tavern where Liya was and the drinkers who were there that night came to testify about the conflict between Chapper and Liya.

The testimony of two witnesses is the most important.

A worker in the same tavern as Liya testified that Chai Po's servant asked her where Liya's home was with a few silver coins the day before yesterday, but she didn't disclose what happened that night when she thought about it.

A waiter in the teahouse next door wept and testified that when Chai Po’s servant came to the store yesterday morning, he asked him about Liya’s situation on the grounds that he planned to fall in love, and he told him that Liya went home every night in the early hours of the morning. If you are interested, you can be a flower protector.

When Chai Po saw his servant being brought up and didn't dare to look at him, his whole body suddenly became limp.

"That woman slapped the master." The servant said tremblingly, "The master pushed her to the ground in a fit of anger, rode on her, stripped her naked, and made me hold my hand."

"The master was very angry when he saw her eyes staring at him, so he cut her throat with a knife, and then stabbed her like crazy. I was terrified at the time."

"The master asked me to drag the body to the sewer and throw it down. When the master saw that her eyes were still staring at me, he dug out his eyes..."

The shouts of killing in the square were deafening, and countless voices finally merged into one sentence: "Kill him!"

The defendant's lawyer asked the servant: "Is your testimony true and reliable, or was it coerced into saying so?"

The servant replied tremblingly, "I swear to the God of Light, I'm telling the truth."

When he answered in this way, the defendant's lawyer also understood that he chose the happy death among many ways of death, so he didn't ask any more questions, as long as he was sure that he was not tortured to extract a confession.

Chai Po turned pale, turned to look at the lawyers, his eyes were full of pleading.

There is still a glimmer of hope in his heart. As a nobleman, according to the tradition, he can only pay a fine for killing civilians.

In his opinion, how to explain to his family after returning home is the most troublesome thing.

I am a branch of the Wittelsbach family, and I finally got a job to host a chamber of commerce. Later, I made a few big orders and won the title of a court noble. After a few more years of hard work, I might be able to get a territory.

Now that such an incident has caused embarrassment to the family, those who have conflicts with him will definitely take the opportunity to add insult to injury.

He noticed that these lawyers suddenly became very motivated.

Then came the direct battle of the lawyers, and the focus of the debate was the sentencing issue.

The current legal system is relatively chaotic, with the statute law system and the case law system running side by side. Both sides quote classics and go back and forth. At one time, the plaintiff’s lawyer who demanded that the defendant be hanged prevailed, and at the same time, the defendant’s lawyer who found various examples to exempt the defendant from the death penalty prevailed. .

Chaiper's heart was like a roller coaster. When the plaintiff had the upper hand, he panicked. When his lawyer said that as long as the fine prevailed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The people in the square were also worried, for fear that the prisoner would be acquitted if he was not careful.

Frederick sat quietly on the plaintiff's table, not saying a single word from the beginning to the present.

He didn't need to say anything, he had already expressed his attitude by sitting there, he just needed to watch the lawyers perform according to the script.

It is indeed a performance. They have prepared the outline of the debate in a short period of time, and everyone has a chance to perform.

Frederick also admired this group of people. In one noon, they worked together to come up with a large number of laws, judicial interpretations, and cases to refute each other and make up for their own loopholes. The laws and cases of the Erpulan Empire have been brought out, and almost all the loopholes have been plugged, which is worthy of the annual income of one hundred florins.

After all, it is a propositional composition, no matter how exciting the process is, the final result will not change.

"Dong Dong Dong!!!"

Otto rapped the wooden table three times with the wooden hammer in his hand, and the whole square was suddenly silent.

"The verdict is as follows: the accused Chapper Wittelsbach is guilty and sentenced to hang and cage, immediately!"

Hanging is just hanging on the gallows, and the prisoner is taken away after confirming his death.

Cage punishment is also to put people in iron cages and hang them on the wall after they are hanged or when they are still alive, so as to warn the world to abide by the law. Generally speaking, hanging for a year is enough.

As the judge's voice fell, the cheers on the square resounded through the sunset.

"You can't do this to me!" Chai Po suddenly jumped up, "I'm a nobleman, you can't do this to me!!"

Then he paused, and suddenly pointed at the dock and roared angrily: "I want to sue him, sue that brat, accuse him of insulting nobles, humiliating nobles, and trying to kill a nobleman!"

Today's nobles are the most expensive military nobles. They are proud to bleed to death on the battlefield. Even if they are executed, they must be beheaded.

In the eyes of the nobles, the bloodless death penalty of hanging is reserved for the humble.

The audience was in an uproar, unable to figure out how his brain worked.

The defendant's lawyers covered their faces one after another, it's fine if you say you want to appeal.

Frederick looked left and right, up and down, and found that the person on the other side who wanted to accuse was himself.

So he left the plaintiff's table, walked up to the judge's platform, waved Otto out of his seat and sat down by himself, and picked up the wooden hammer.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Who is under the hall to sue this officer?!"
