In the Instructor’s Dormitory Building of the Internal Guard Military Academy, although Lu Ming came once for the opening ceremony, he still kept his dormitory. As the education specialist and the chief of the instructors, his dormitory was the same as that of several generals and officers such as Wenger.
The leaders' dormitory is of the same size, two rooms larger than the ordinary instructors' dormitory. The ordinary instructors' dormitory is a small suite inside and outside, and the general officer's dormitory is a large suite inside and outside with a guest room, which can be regarded as two bedrooms and one living room.
On the desk outside, Lu Ming looked through the information sent from the police station.
The gangster who was beaten to death by Cynthia was named Kusi. He had a bad record and had committed multiple crimes such as harassing women and violently wounding others. Moreover, he was still on parole.
I also looked at the testimonies of Cynthia and the third group of students, as well as the testimonies of some neutral witnesses. The descriptions were almost the same, saying that the deceased accosted these students and even got physical with one of them, and then Cynthia ran away.
Just as he was thinking about it, someone knocked on the door gently. Lu Ming answered and the door was gently pushed open.
Lu Ming looked over and his eyes lit up immediately.
The graceful figure who walked in was none other than Han Anni. She was wearing a red skirt officer uniform and snow-white leather boots. It was a bit like the uniform of the female militia phalanx in the military parade of a certain year, but the uniform style was more beautiful. She was wearing a beanie hat and Han Anni.
His heroic appearance is a perfect match.
Smiling, Lu Ming said, "Long time no see. Do you miss me? I haven't asked you to come here yet. I wanted to finish the business before we talk."
Annie Han bit her lip, "I'm here on behalf of monitor Isabel. She's a little uncomfortable and has asked for leave. If you want to ask Cynthia about her usual performance, I can tell you."
Lu Ming smiled, but he heard Mary say that Han Annie and Isabel became best friends in a short period of time. They had a very good relationship, and they exchanged people and lived in the same student dormitory with double rooms.
"Okay, sit down!" Lu Ming pouted at the stool opposite, and then said, "Make whatever you want to drink. There's also tea and coffee. Make it your own home!" After a pause, "Oh, I'll give you the key later.
I'm not here, you can just stay here, the environment is better."
Han Anni's beautiful face showed helplessness, but Quan Dang didn't hear it and said: "Cynthia is usually a little nervous, so I think her mental health should be..."
Lu Ming waved his hand, "Don't be nervous. This time Principal Wenger asked me to evaluate the whole matter and give professional opinions on whether to report it to the superiors and set up a military court for trial. Therefore, mental problems do not necessarily need to be used to reduce her responsibility."
There are three types of military courts. One is a summary military court, in which the superior appoints a commander as a judge, usually to hear violations that do not violate the law; the second is a special military court, in which the superior appoints three judges, usually three
The personal judge includes a commander of the military unit where the suspect belongs, a military lawyer and a commander of other military units. They deal with misdemeanor violations, but some serious crimes can also be heard in special courts; the third is
In ordinary military courts, there will be a jury, but the jury is also composed of officers and soldiers.
The Internal Guard Military Academy is considered an independent military unit in the East China Sea, so it can independently handle illegal matters involving students, including setting up its own special military court.
Han Anni naturally knew this. It seemed that she was relieved and asked again: "Will you defend her?"...
Lu Ming smiled: "I am the one who evaluates the case. If I evaluate that she should be prosecuted, I may be the prosecutor, or I may be appointed by Wenger as one of the three judges..." He smiled at himself, "
It's a bit wrong to be a judge while evaluating the case, right? But our military courts are like this. In short, I can't be Cynthia's lawyer." He also asked: "During her usual training, does she have any violent tendencies?"
Han Anni hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Lu Ming pondered for a moment, "Then I would like to conduct a mental evaluation on her and then try her with a special military court."
Han Anni was stunned for a moment, with some unbearable eyes, but she still shook her head and said nothing.
Lu Ming smiled: "Actually, it's like this. I'm trying to get Wenger to appoint me as one of the three judges. This case gave me some ideas. Regarding the principle of self-defense, I want to try it out as a judge in a military court.
, I probably won’t be able to be a judge in a civil court in this life, and I will have to live my life in a military court.”
After a pause, "However, it is impossible for Cynthia to stay in the army. I will study the specific circumstances of the case when the time comes. The forensic report has not yet arrived. I can't say what the verdict will be."
Han Anni was stunned for a moment and then said: "Some people say that you treat the law as a toy, but it turns out it is true." But she couldn't help but be curious, "Which rule do you think needs to be improved?"
There are two principles of legitimate defense in East China Sea law. The first is the obligation to retreat. You must give priority to retreat. If you cannot retreat safely, you can only fight back.
The second is the Castle Principle. In your own home, you don’t have to give in and you have unlimited right to counterattack.
In addition, the castle principle extends to one's own means of transportation, such as in one's own car. There is no need to give in and there is unlimited right to counterattack.
Lu Ming thought about it and said: "I think a third principle should be added, the principle of sticking to one's position. I raised it in the military court. It seems appropriate and has this flavor."
"I believe that a person does not need to fulfill the obligation to retreat in an area where he can legally stay. If he has reason to believe that he has been, or is about to be, seriously threatened with injury or death, then he can use any possible means to fight back.
."
"In fact, the extended vehicle area of the Castle Principle can be unlimitedly defended, which is already a shadow of the Stand Your Ground Principle. However, it is not enough. The area where victims of violations can legally fight back should be expanded."
"The obligation to retreat was originally called the principle of the wall. That is to say, only when there is no way to retreat and retreat to the root of the wall can we carry out legitimate defense. That is, only when there is no way to escape can we use violent counterattack. This itself is contrary to human nature. In the face of
A raised knife cannot require a person to think calmly."
Han Anni listened silently and suddenly said: "Does Isabel's mother, the police officer, often hear you say this?"
Lu Ming was startled: "What?"
Han Anni shook her head and stood up: "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving!"
Lu Ming suddenly understood something, "That squad leader of yours is not uncomfortable at all, but you feel uncomfortable when you see me, right? Do you think the rumors outside are true?" He couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. Did he really think that he was a pretty boy raised by her mother?
Han Anni looked at Lu Ming with big bright eyes, suddenly smiled, turned around and left.
Lu Ming was so depressed. He said to Han Anni's back: "Then when you see her, tell her that when you see me, call me father. You are her best friend, so you have to call me uncle..."
Suddenly realizing something was wrong, he quickly silenced his voice. If these words were to reach Christine's ears, what's the point? Wouldn't his own skin be peeled off?
Fortunately, mother and daughter don't seem to have a close relationship. There is a big gap between them. They don't know how to talk heart-to-heart. I don't think my stupid words will reach the ears of a third person.
