Law popularization live broadcast: I am really not the godfather of criminals!

Chapter 125 What we learned is clearly stated rules, but we are not mechanical procedures!

Liu Mang looked complicated when facing Zhang Wei's repeated questions. After opening his lips slightly several times, he slowly answered.

"Lawyer Zhang, according to Article 302 of the Criminal Law of our country, except for ethnic minorities with unique funeral culture, people of other ethnic groups are not allowed to carry the corpse into the river, sink the corpse in the seaport, abandon the corpse in an inaccessible swamp pit, or bury the corpse upright. and other ways to bury their relatives and friends."

"So, according to our country's criminal law, Zhang San did commit the crime of insulting a corpse in this case."

Zhang Wei listened to Liu Mang's answer, nodded slightly, and asked him aloud.

"Since the laws and regulations are so clear, why did you remain silent and only opened your mouth to answer my questions after I asked them again and again?"

As Zhang Wei finished speaking, the students and audience who were also confused about this question all looked at Liu Mang, hoping to get an answer from him.

However, Liu Mang, who was being watched by everyone, raised his head slightly and looked at Zhang Wei with a confused look. His tone was confused and he answered in confusion.

"I have no idea?"

"Although I clearly understand the laws and regulations and know that Zhang San has indeed committed the crime of insulting a corpse, I always feel that it should not be defined in this way."

"Even if I were the judge in this case, I would never sentence Zhang San for the crime of insulting a corpse."

Zhang Wei heard Liu Mang's answer and said to him with a smile.

"Yes, you already have the foundation to become a judge. Although you don't know why, I can tell you that this is why machines are not used to replace people as judgment judges."

"After all, we humans have hearts and emotions. Although laws and regulations are man-made, they are simply a tool to help us define the crimes of criminals."

"Just like Zhang San in this case, if you simply use the clear meaning of the law to make a judgment, he has indeed constituted the crime of insulting a corpse. This is not wrong."

“However, one thing we need to understand is that although we study law, we ultimately serve the people.”

"Take the crime of insulting a corpse as an example. What legal meaning does it protect?"

Liu Mang heard this, thought for a moment, and responded with a slightly confused expression.

"What is protecting is the dignity of the family members of the remains?"

Zhang Wei listened to Liu Mang's answer, shook his head slightly, and then slowly answered.

"A long time ago, I thought the same thing as you. I felt that this law was to protect the dignity of the family members of the deceased."

"However, after I came into contact with more cases, I gradually understood that legal provisions similar to the crime of insulting corpses are not actually protecting the families of the remains, but protecting public order and good customs!"

"However, the definition of public order and good customs means that the behavior of civil subjects should comply with public order, conform to good customs, and must not violate the country's public order and the general morality of society, which is the abbreviation of public order and good customs."

"So, from this perspective, does his crime of insulting a corpse still constitute a crime?"

As soon as Zhang Wei's question came up, the surrounding teachers and students, as well as the audience in the live broadcast room, seemed to have opened a new door, and their perspective on this case was once again sublimated to a new level.

"As expected, Lawyer Zhang is different from other lawyers. While most people are still thinking about the case according to the literal meaning of the law, he is already thinking about the problems from the perspective of constructing the law! It is really monkey Sai Lei! ” ˆ ˆ “As expected of Lawyer Zhang! He looks at problems from a different angle than others! This is a good lawyer who keeps us in mind and always thinks about legal issues from our perspective! Just for this reason! I am a fan of Lawyer Zhang. It’s decided! Even if I, the King of Heaven, come here, I can’t change my mind!!”

"Although what Lawyer Zhang said is good, aren't we discussing whether poverty is a crime? This case and the reasoning behind it seem to have little to do with the problem itself, right?"

"It's upstairs! If you have nothing to say, don't insist! Can you and I guess what Lawyer Zhang is thinking? Just watch the excitement! Don't show off your ignorance."

"…………"

However, when the audience in the live broadcast room was amazed by Zhang Wei's thinking, Liu Guozhang and others looked at him with more and more appreciation.

"What a boy! Every wave is indeed better than the last! He has figured it out at this age that I have been a judge for more than ten years and he has figured it out! This talent really makes me ashamed!"

"If this kid hadn't chosen to be a lawyer, I would have recommended him to the Kyoto Court so that he could further his studies!"

"I believe that with this kid's talent, if he wants to climb to my position, he will definitely take less time than I did, and he will do much more for the people than me!"

Professor Luo listened to Liu Guozhang's praise and responded with a smile.

"Old Liu, what you said is right. However, although this boy is indeed very capable and has reached the level of us old judges in thinking, his temper is too wild. He cannot sit firmly in the office or be imprisoned in the court. character."

"With this kid's outlaw character and his fearless character, he can do a lot more things outside than when he is trapped in one place."

Liu Guozhang naturally knew what Professor Luo said and what kind of character Zhang Wei was, so he could only sigh helplessly.

"You are right. The value of this kid outside is indeed hundreds of times greater than the value he can create in the court."

"However, this road is too dangerous after all. As the former presiding judge and chief judge of the court, you and I have too much insight into the darkness of society."

"There is even some darkness that even makes us tremble with fear and make us extremely angry, but we are still helpless."

"I'm really afraid that this good young man will be swallowed up by the darkness and become a complete useless person..."

Professor Luo listened to Liu Guozhang's sigh and shook his head helplessly.

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

"But, some things are not ours to decide. The people above have already made plans. Apart from providing him with protection as much as possible and helping him block some darkness, there is nothing more we can do."

When Liu Guozhang heard this, he also sighed slightly and looked at Zhang Wei with a look of determination.

"The matter has come to this, and all we can do is try our best to protect him. Anyway, our old bones only have a few years to live. At worst, in the future, I will go out of my way to beg those old guys!"
