Rebecca Wenders' "channelling ritual" was published in the form of a briefing on the front page of the Sun. Once exposed, it immediately caused a sensation in the city.
Now, the central figure in this storm of public opinion is no longer Maxim Wenders, who was criticized before, but the *** Cavalry Lieutenant Colonel Jack Favre.
Although he has been criticized by public opinion, according to the laws of the Kingdom of Feizhen, "adultery" is not a serious crime. Jack Favre does not even need to go to jail for this. He is only subject to moral condemnation from society.
According to ancient tradition, an insulted husband can challenge his wife's lover to a duel.
Maxim Wenders himself does not have the ability to challenge the notorious "Sledgehammer" Favre.
As his attorney, Musk was deeply involved in the investigation of the case. He was deeply indignant at what happened to Mr. Wenders, so he asked Judge Colt to approve Lieutenant Colonel Favre's dueling application that had not yet been withdrawn.
Jack Favre, who has always been up and down in the name of seeking justice for his cousin, has concealed from the public the evil intentions of his affair with Rebecca, an attempt to have a child, and to seize the Wenders family's property. If this scumbag is allowed to
Escaping sanctions, let alone Mr. Wenders, is something Musk himself can’t even swallow!
Since this shameless man initiates a duel, let him try to shoot himself in the foot!
Musk acted purely out of passion and actually posed a difficult problem for Judge Colt.
It doesn't matter if two men duel in private, but if there is a public judicial duel, things will be more troublesome.
Today is no longer the barbaric era where "tit for tooth" and "blood for blood" are advocated. Courts usually do not approve such jealous judicial duels.
This kind of behavior is exactly the opposite of the cynicism that legal scholars have always ridiculed, "trying to protect the fragile self-esteem of male chauvinists in a wrong and dangerous way."
Especially after a famous poet died in a judicial duel with his love rival, the country's literary and artistic circles suffered heavy losses. In the past five years, all applications for duels caused by jealousy and cheating have been rejected by the courts.
If it is just commonplace jealousy in social circles, the court will not change the practice.
However, the "Wenders wife murder case" was too big and had such a bad impact. Just like the last "Dreyfus spy case", it has become a public event that shocked the whole country. If it is suppressed, it will definitely be in the public opinion.
It caused a strong backlash in the world and even caused the public to lose confidence in the justice of the country's laws.
As the saying goes, "Legal principles are nothing more than human feelings." Even huge legal regulations cannot go against the public's anger, let alone the opinions of a group of jurists who study "spherical chickens in a vacuum" all day long. Otherwise, it will shake the foundation of rule and dig its own ground.
grave.
As the public response became more intense, even His Majesty the King was alarmed.
At the palace tea party held over the weekend, His Majesty George III specifically discussed this most concerning case with the Marquis of Porter, the Cabinet Minister of Justice.
The conversation between His Majesty and the minister was recorded by the clerk, edited and polished, and published in the form of a dialogue on the front page of the "Avalon Daily" published the next day.
One of the conversations involving the "Rebecca Case" is recorded as follows:
George III: Yesterday afternoon, while I was doing farm work in the garden, Emily came to visit me with a basket of refreshments.
George III: Later, while we were having tea and snacks under the tree, we saw an ivy wrapped around the tree. My naive daughter thought that the ivy tightly wrapped around the tree was like a man and woman in love, worthy of a poem.
But I had to tell her that ivy is a harmful plant parasitic on the big tree. It absorbs the nutrients from the big tree to make beautiful flowers. It is like a blood-sucking worm. If this symbolizes love, it is also a kind of establishment.
Pathological love based on inequality.
George III: I didn’t mean to say anything to disappoint Emily. However, at her age, it is easy to have unrealistic romantic fantasies about love. It is not until she hits a wall in the face of cruel reality that she realizes her naivety.
, I hoped that my daughter could mature and learn to be strong before she suffered setbacks, so I tore off the ivy wrapped around the tree in front of her.
…
*King George III of Fijian: He lived a simple life and loved to do farm work in his spare time. He was nicknamed the "Farmer King".
*Princess Emily: The youngest daughter of George III, and the most favored daughter by His Majesty the King.

Marquis Porter: My lord, your insights are not only very helpful in educating children, but also inspired me, reminding me of the recent "Favre v. Wenders murder case" that shocked the whole city.
George III: I have also heard about this case. As the investigation progresses, the details revealed are surprising.
Marquis Porter: My lord, don’t you think that the relationship between Lord Wenders and his ex-wife Rebecca is very much like a big tree and an ivy? The latter is obviously attached to the former, but is cruelly squeezing her husband from him.
The body sucks blood and blooms with charming poisonous flowers that attract bees and butterflies.
George III: My dear, what I said is very much what I like. Fortunately, the truth of the case has been clarified, and Lord Wenders can finally get rid of the lawsuit for killing his wife and restore his reputation.
Marquis Porter: Your Majesty, so far, this is not a happy ending. In this case, there is still a clown who has not yet been punished.
George III: Your beloved is referring to Lieutenant Colonel Favre who falsely accused Lord Wenders of killing his wife?
Marquis Porter: Your Majesty, please forgive me for being verbose. Some details must be explained clearly.
Marquis Porter: First of all, Jack Favre had an affair with his cousin Rebecca. He is morally corrupt and unethical. He has been expelled from the army, stripped of all titles and honors, and is no longer an active cavalry officer. Secondly, although I despise Favre,
Foer's character, but there is no evidence that he sued Lord Wenders when he knew that his cousin died in an accident, so the false accusation was not found guilty.
GEORGE III: In other words, there is no harsher punishment we can impose on Favre other than removing him from military service?
Marquis Porter: From a legal perspective, I'm afraid that's the case.
George III: This is really regrettable! Maybe we should do something to prevent this kind of incident from happening again.
Marquis Porter: Your Majesty, my colleagues in the legal department and I have the same plan. It is time to legislate to close the loopholes in the "crime of adultery".
George III: My dear, under the banner of the Constitution, I am not in a position to comment on the legislative process of Parliament. This topic has been dismissed. Let us return to the original topic. If Parliament modifies the penalty regulations for adultery, it can be used in Pfeiffer.
