Chapter 163 Who will testify
The solemn and solemn building complex from the House of Londosa District of the capital today has once again become the focus of the federal public. Although because of the assassination incident of nearly said, the attention is slightly less, but there are still many federal people who want to know that know that.
The young man may be convicted how the young man who saved his His Royal Highness but was trapped in the war of the war.
The military alert outside the court really was more than doubled as Chen Fengxiao said, at least more than when the first trial, so even if Shi Chen intends to re -applied his skills, only the end of the sieve on the spot.
Therefore, as the last hijacking criminal, Shi Chen, at this moment, has become the 'Shi Chen' on the Titan, wearing a gray trench coat, and swaying from behind the door, which represents fairness.
Walking next to the Shiqi Law Code, I entered the highest military court of this federal.
He naturally did not come to jail, nor to make trouble. He submitted an application to the staff of the military court.
Listening to the trial had been divided into melon after the first trial, so he could only sit quietly in the empty rest room, watching the live TV broadcast on the screen, holding a terminal silently in his hand.
In the TV screen, in the original empty military court, people were crowded.
The golden sunlight sprinkled from the huge sky window of a dozen meters high, and the clear rows of pure black seats in the court were extremely bright.
However, Lawyer Gu Meiyan, who was sitting in front of the defendant's defending lawyer, was buried in the shadow of the bangs, which made people not see her expression, but she could feel that her mood was not very good.
She was in a bad mood, so as a lawyer of her opponent, she was in a good mood. He looked at Gu Meiyan's low face, and his heart was full of excitement and the thrill of the opponent who was about to see.
You are old and difficult to slip, no one's testimony, and after all, you can't change the ending of this trial. No matter how achieved you have before, as long as you lose this lawsuit and break the golden body from the defeat, then
It is difficult to mix the wind and rain again.
Yuan Shang has enough confidence. At this moment, there are 23 realities from the Blackstone Military Region on the countertop seat behind him.
It is their influence that is enough to some extent the direction of cases or public opinion.
However, there are only two people on the side of Gu Meiyan. Except for her own defense lawyer, she only looks pale like a zombie, Xu Qiusheng, which looks very lonely.
Xu Qiusheng's appearance was very white, and the white was not normal. Most of them were blamed for being detained for too long. He did not see the sun. Gu Meiyan's face was also very white. It was a pathological pale.
Since she took the case, she has received dozens of intimidation letters and more than ten violence threats in the past half a month. Although she did not really dare to cause her substantial damage to her, the long -term spirit is tight
Some kind of intangible pressure made her difficult to sleep a few times, so the mental state was extremely poor.
The father who hadn't contacted her for a long time suddenly called her some time ago and talked to her for a long time, which moved her very much, but after all, she did not change her decision to continue the lawsuit.
And she herself knew that it was a miracle to a certain extent that this case could reach the second trial, and by now, the previous information and defense evidence were no longer very useful.
So she continued to fight. In a sense, it could be said to be a big gamble, betting on the people behind the suspect to take action, or betting that his big-spending employer could find enough witnesses.
Perhaps to outsiders, she does it for the generous remuneration. But with her reputation and talent in the legal profession, she can earn back this money in just a few years.
The reason why she took this case was not because of the special charisma of the guy named Shi Chen, but because she had heard about the legendary deeds of the eldest princess when she first entered the lawyer world and was in the most difficult situation.
From then on, she had a vision. She hoped that one day, she could become such an outstanding and eye-catching woman, even if it was just in the legal profession.
Today, several years later, she has fulfilled her wish to a certain extent. Therefore, although she has never met the eldest princess, she has always felt an admiration similar to that of an idol.
So when Shi Chen handed those photos to her that day, she agreed without hesitation.
A guy who saved Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess was worth taking a risk for her. Even if she failed, her wish had been fulfilled, so there was nothing to regret. What's more, today's lawsuit is destined to be recorded in the history of the Federation.
lawsuit.
But no matter how influential this lawsuit is, it is just a lawsuit that is staged in reality. It is not as tense as those performed in some legal film and television dramas, and is full of countless hidden mysteries and traps, accusations and counterarguments.
On the contrary, the trial process of the case must strictly follow federal legal procedures. Anything that is shackled by rules is destined to be boring and boring.
During the dull and repetitive process of evidence and defense in the first trial, the voices of the lawyers on both sides were strictly controlled within a certain range. Gu Meiyan, who was under great pressure, had a gloomy and calm expression, and her words were gentle and rigorous.
The link was described impatiently and in great detail.
In the quiet courtroom, except for the rising and falling voices of the lawyers on both sides, there were only the rustling sounds of flipping through thick legal documents and the snapping sounds of the recorder transcribing the case process. In addition, there were occasionally a few suppressed sounds that were kept to a minimum.
Coughing and the scraping sound of shoe soles moving on the wooden floor due to nervousness or boredom.
Only Colonel Suye in the auditorium maintained his military posture from beginning to end, impartial and unmoving, like the most solemn statue, and seemed not to care about the final outcome of this case.
The twenty-three Blackstone officers behind her looked at everything in the courtroom with indifferent expressions, as if they were sure of victory.
For them, the Titan War Apostles Riot case is already a settled case. Even if someone disrupted the situation last time, what if there are no witnesses? Who can come forward to testify, and who dares to come forward to testify?
The pale young man in the dock remained as calm as a wax figure, seemingly showing no intention of defending himself. The clenched fists with prominent veins in his arms betrayed his emotions.
Xu Qiusheng didn't want to die, so he kept waiting for the dead old man's promise. But the lawsuit was already coming to an end, so why hadn't there been any movement yet?
Naturally, these small actions could not be hidden from the cunning upper-level figures in the hearing room. They whispered among each other and often showed a sarcastic smile.
In their view, Xu Qiusheng's silence and Gu Meiyan's calmness were nothing more than the last desperate struggle.
After a boring retelling of legal provisions and probing objections, the lawyers on both sides of the court began to touch on the core of the topic, and Yuan Shang, who had always been patient, finally showed his fangs.
He glanced at Gu Meiyan coldly and continued to the court: "Although you produced some relevant photos during the first trial, they were extremely blurry and the possibility of forgery cannot be ruled out. Therefore, for the sake of
To ensure the fairness of the law, I also ask you to produce witnesses."
Hearing these words, Gu Meiyan's originally too fair face turned even paler. She gritted her teeth and insisted: "Plaintiff's lawyer, you can't prove that those photos are fake."
"Yes, we cannot prove that those photos are forgeries, but according to the Federal Six-Law Code, when the physical evidence is objectionable and unverifiable, corresponding witness must be available to make a legal judgment. I believe that since you have so many
"Physical evidence', then there must be many witnesses, so how come there are no witnesses?"
As he spoke, he appealed to the court: "Your Honor, in accordance with normal legal procedures, I request that the defendant produce witnesses."
"I protest." Gu Meiyan gritted her teeth.
The ten judges in the court looked at each other in disbelief. One of the judges with gold-rimmed glasses tapped his finger on the trial table and said, "The protest is invalid. Defense lawyer, please present your witness."
Gu Meiyan's fingers that were flipping through the case files froze. She raised her head and looked at the old judge, very confused and shocked by the other party's hesitation and certain biases.
Witness? At this time, who would choose to stand on the opposite side of the vast majority of people in the Federation to testify? Even if there were, she would not be able to contact him in such a short period of time.
Looking at the incompetent Gu Meiyan, lawyer Yuan had a mocking smile on his face.
Although the Federal Military Tribunal represents fairness and justice to a certain extent, there is no real fairness and justice in the world. Maybe the Six Laws Code is, but the legal process must be driven by people. As long as it is human, it cannot be absolute.
True fairness and justice, because humans are group animals and can never survive apart from the masses.
The forces involved behind this case are too wide, so no matter what, they have a way to influence the judgment of some judges. At least, they can do some innocuous but fatal actions without violating legal procedures, such as now.
Just when the case reached its lowest ebb, Shi Chen, who was watching the scene in the rest room next door, also had a sinking face. After hesitating for a long time, he finally made the call that had been on the screen for a long time.
