Chapter 1,399 I would rather let a thousand go than kill the wrong one
Being criticized in person by No. 11, No. 3 had no choice but to shut up temporarily.
But No. 7, who was anxious to watch the football match, realized that if this situation continued, he would definitely not be able to catch the football match.
Therefore, he simply asked: "What happened to that old man? We have to believe that he did not run to the door and did not see the child rushing out fifteen seconds after the incident? He just said that to cause
Note, this is what you think, right?"
"This is what you have been discussing until now. The game has started a long time ago, and maybe even goals have been scored! Do what you like, can we do it faster?" No. 7 looked unhappy.
"The old man said he ran to the door!" At this time, Juror No. 5 stopped him and said.
"What difference does it make whether he ran or walked? In short, he arrived at the door, okay?" No. 7 said impatiently.
In fact, the movie is already halfway through at this point, and the characters, attitudes, and changes of each juror have given the audience an impression.
For example, Juror No. 7 was anxious to go back to watch the football game, so he just wanted to end the verdict as soon as possible, but it backfired, so he became a little irritable.
Juror No. 6 also said: "I'm sure he ran away. Is there any problem with that?"
Juror No. 5 also changed from his previous low self-esteem and silence. He said: "But there is no way he can run!"
Juror No. 4 also intervened: "He said he ran from the room to the door!"
"Where is his room?"
"Right at the end of the corridor."
At this time, No. 8 suggested taking a look at the structural configuration diagram of the apartment.
However, his request made No. 10 and others even more dissatisfied, and they directly sarcastically said: "Why don't you just ask them to hold another court session?"
"You are the only one who wants to see..."
"I want to see it too!" No. 4 said firmly.
"I just want to see if an old man with a steep foot can run from his room to the door in fifteen seconds!"
"He said twenty seconds!" No. 3 shouted inexplicably.
"He said fifteen seconds!" No. 8 corrected.
"He said twenty seconds, why do you want to distort the facts?" No. 3 said again.
But at this time, someone else confirmed: "He was indeed talking about fifteen seconds!"
"How does he know how long fifteen seconds is?" No. 3 shouted angrily.
"But he said fifteen seconds, very sure!" Old Man No. 9 said.
"He is an old man, and his head is unclear half the time. How can he be so sure that what he saw is correct?" But by the time he finished speaking, he himself was dumbfounded.
Yes, if this is the case, can his testimony still be trusted?
Others also looked at him in astonishment.
Suddenly, the entire conference room fell into an eerie silence. At this time, Juror No. 4 said: "I don't know what you want to prove, but this old man did see the defendant!"
"So we have to see if what he said is true. He said he heard footsteps upstairs, and the footsteps came all the way to the door. He heard the door open, and heard someone rushing downstairs. He
I ran to the gate and was very sure that the whole process only lasted fifteen seconds!" No. 8 said.
"The murderer ran away!"
"He didn't say that, right?"
"But that's what he said. I believe it is clearly recorded in the court records."
"You should go to the carping convention..." Juror No. 7 joked.
However, Juror No. 6 was dissatisfied: "Why do you still pretend to be smart? The law should be strict!"
"How much is the subsidy for being a jury for one day? Now that you have made me trapped here, what good will it do to you?" Juror No. 7 said unhappily.
Obviously, he didn't want to be a juror at all, or in other words, he just came out of desperation and didn't care about the case at all.
At this time, the bailiff sent the structural diagram of the apartment.
A lame old man gets out of bed, "runs" through the bedroom and corridor to the door, and completes it in 15 seconds. Can he do it?
No. 10 and others all thought that the old man could do it. Of course, at this time, some people began to suspect that the old man could not do it at all because he had sloping feet and had to be supported when walking in the court.
No. 10 asked, why didn’t the lawyer mention this in court?
This question is very ironic.
Juror No. 8 arranged the scene according to the schematic diagram, imitated the steps of the old man, and demonstrated the process. The structure actually took 41 seconds!
But the results came out, but No. 3 still said in a strange manner: "Those are all his speculations. I have seen all kinds of scams, but your demonstration is really amazing. You have such enthusiasm, but
Go sympathize with those young and Dangerous guys. When you hear the stories they make up, you completely forget what the truth is. You can’t lie to me. I’ve had enough!”
"What's wrong with you? You all know that the defendant is guilty, and you must let him escape the punishment of the law!" He roared at the crowd again.
"Are you his executioner?" No. 8 couldn't help but said.
"I'm one of them!" No. 3 said bluntly.
"If there was a death penalty, would you still want to flip the switch yourself?"
"good!"
"Only a madman would think of executing him personally!" No. 8 shook his head.
Everyone else also looked at No. 3 in shock, not expecting him to be so crazy.
"As soon as you got here, you looked like you wanted to do justice for heaven. It was entirely because of your own selfishness that you wanted to see that child sentenced. Are you a psychopath?" No. 8 scolded this time unceremoniously.
.
This seemed to anger No. 3, and he was about to rush forward, but fortunately he was stopped by others, but he still shouted: "I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him!"
This scene seemed extremely ironic, because before this, he himself had said that anyone who could say something like "I'm going to kill you" must have been thinking the same thing at the time and was very serious.
"You don't really want to kill me, do you?" No. 8 heard this and looked at him with a smile and asked.
I don't know if he thought of what he said before, but No. 3 broke away from the others, then turned around and walked away.
The bailiff opened the door and came in to ask if something was wrong?
The foreman of the jury said that there was just a little dispute.
After the bailiff left, everyone looked at Juror No. 3 with strange eyes.
At this time, Juror No. 11 stood up and said: "We are not here to quarrel. I think we should be regarded as shouldering heavy responsibilities. I have always felt that this is the advantage of Hong Kong Island's insistence on the jury system. We
Being told to come here and decide whether someone we have never met is guilty or not, no matter what the verdict is, we gain nothing and lose nothing. That's why we keep using this system. We don't
This kind of thing should be related to personal feelings!"
After hearing what No. 11 said, everyone calmed down a bit.
Soon, No. 6 proposed another vote.
The jury foreman had to prepare papers for anonymous voting again, but No. 10 asked why it was necessary to remain anonymous?
Vote quickly and in order.
Another person changed his mind. The first one was Juror No. 2, who voted not guilty.
Nos. 3 and 4 still insist on their guilt.
In addition to No. 5, No. 6 and No. 11 also changed their minds and voted not guilty.
The final vote turned out to be a tie.
6:6!
From 11:1 to 6:6, the amazing thing is that the audience in the theater did not feel bored at all, but became more and more curious.
You know, No. 3 and No. 10, these two people can be said to be the most determined judges of guilt.
Want to convince them? How?
Number 7 is probably the most unhappy, because this means that the discussion will continue, and it means that he has no chance to watch tonight's game.
There was lightning and thunder outside, the sound of rain broke the silence, and it was raining heavily outside the window!
It got dark, the indoor lights were turned on, and the next moment, the fan actually started spinning.
But the debate must continue, because as long as agreement cannot be reached, it must continue.
Reasonable doubt cannot be eliminated and the debate continues.
Juror No. 2 suddenly spoke: "I have one thing I want to say. There is one thing that makes me very confused. I have always felt that something is not right about the fatal injury of the deceased. The angle of the wound is downward!"
No. 3 frowned and interrupted: "You're here again, the lawyers have already discussed this!"
"But I still feel strange, I just feel something is not right!" No. 2 insisted.
"The defendant is only 1.7 meters tall, while his father, the deceased, is 1.85 meters tall. There is such a big difference in their heights. It shouldn't be easy for him to stab down with such a wound, right?" No. 2 said.
This time, No. 3 came to No. 8 and said he would give a demonstration: "Everyone, watch carefully, I will only demonstrate once!"
He demonstrated that short people can do it.
But at this time, No. 5, who also had the experience of Young and Dangerous, came over.
He asked everyone: "Have you ever seen others chop each other?"
Everyone else shook their heads.
But he nodded and said: "I have seen it!"
He showed everyone a demonstration and said: "You won't use a folding knife like that! You will use it like this!"
He made a show of popping out a folding knife and then stabbed it forward. He told everyone that folding knives are meant to stab people upwards; no one was holding the folding knife backwards and stabbing each other. It was too stupid to do so.
Because it is difficult to pop out the folding knife when you hold it backwards.
No. 8 immediately said: "The child is obviously very skilled in using this kind of knife, so if it is what you said, how could he kill his father like that?"
No. 3 still thinks this is all nonsense.
No. 8 asked one by one.
No. 12's attitude was not so sure. He just said I don't know.
It's No. 7's turn.
He didn't care at all: "I don't know what other people think, but I think your discussion is meaningless and you can't come to a conclusion at all. I think I want to make a breakthrough. I want to change my decision. I am not guilty!"
Obviously, he doesn't care at all whether he is guilty or not guilty. As long as it can get him out of here quickly, he will vote for whichever side he wants.
However, No. 7's irresponsible gossip not only made No. 3 angry, but also made No. 11, who voted not guilty, feel that the other party was very irresponsible.
"Who told you that you have such a right to play with other people's lives? Don't you care?"
"If you want to vote not guilty, you must really believe that it is not guilty, not just because you want to leave here, so you vote casually!"
"You must have your own reasons for whether you think he is guilty or not, rather than just following what others say."
"I said he is not guilty!"
"Why?"
"Why should I say that?"
He couldn't say it at all, because his mind was not here at all.
This scene gave many people a mixed feeling after watching it, because do such people exist in reality?
The answer is yes!
This is the greatest sadness!
Is the jury system good?
Maybe! But obviously any system, including this one, also has its limitations.
Number Seven's attitude is just one of them.
Soon, another vote will be held.
This time, 3 votes changed their minds again, 3:9!
But because consensus must be reached, it seems to be stuck here again.
Seeing such a result, No. 10 was very unhappy: "I don't understand. The details you came up with are not important at all, right? You and I both saw the defendant. Do you believe what he said?
He said that the knife was missing. When the crime happened, he said that he was watching a movie. He was lying. People like this don't tell the truth. They are used to lying. You don't know what the truth is. People like them
There is no need to have a reason to kill someone. If you are a good person, you should become a young and Dangerous boy. Do you believe this kind of person?"
But his words made No. 4, who had been a young and Dangerous kid, feel very harsh.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, not only No. 4, but others are also very unhappy with his condescending appearance.
Even Juror No. 3 turned their heads and did not want to listen to him.
"Am I right? Are there any good people among Young and Dangerous?"
Even Juror No. 4 couldn't help it: "Please sit down and shut your mouth!"
No one supported him, and almost everyone even showed disgust towards him, which made No. 10 unable to speak louder anymore and he was ostracized.
In other words, he was isolated, which was completely unacceptable to him, and he was even shocked to the point of losing his mind.
"In the face of this kind of thing, it is really difficult to eliminate personal prejudice, but no matter what, prejudice will always obscure the truth. I really don't know what the truth is, and I don't think anyone knows what the truth is, right? We are nine
Personally, I now feel that the defendant is innocent, but we are also betting on a possibility. Maybe we are wrong? We may let a murderer go. I don't know, no one knows, but we have reasonable suspicion.
That is the most precious part of our judicial system. Unless the evidence is conclusive, unless it is very certain, the jury cannot find the defendant guilty. Nine of us are not sure. Why are you three still so sure? Maybe you can also say
Tell me why."
No. 4 nodded and said: "In some places, you are indeed very convincing, but I still think he is guilty for two reasons. One is the testimony given in court by the lady who witnessed his murder, and the other is her description
What she saw about the murder, she said she saw the child, with his hands above his head, stabbing his father in the chest with a knife, and she saw him murder someone!"
Then he told the witness what happened.
He believed the female witness's testimony was unbreakable.
No. 8 also fell silent, because he really had no way to question this.
The words of No. 4 and the testimony of the female witness made me feel like the opposition had an advantage again.
Soon the 3rd proposed another vote.
Just when they were arguing, No. 4 took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose.
But this action made No. 9 suddenly think of something.
"I'm sorry, your actions seemed to remind me of something!"
No. 9 said what he was thinking about. He inferred from the depressions on both sides of the bridge of the nose that the woman often wore glasses and may have poor eyesight. However, she was sleeping at the time of the incident and should not have been wearing glasses. The crime process was very short.
The light was also fleeting, so she might not have seen the murderer's face clearly. Was it a misidentification?
After this question was raised.
No. 3 retorted again: "Then why doesn't she wear glasses in court?"
"There are two possibilities. One is that she wears contact lenses, and the other is that she doesn't wear glasses because she thinks that wearing glasses will make her less beautiful! Besides, who wears glasses when sleeping?
?"
"Moreover, what she said was that she just turned her head and saw the other side. In other words, she didn't have time to put on her glasses. She might have really seen someone, but at most she could only see a blurry shadow!"
However, No. 3 still stood up and said what if she just wore plain glasses or was farsighted?
However, No. 8 said: "I do not rule out these two possibilities, but this also means that her vision is controversial, which also makes her testimony not uncontroversial!"
Everyone was convinced, including No. 10.
But No. 3 still persisted.
He spoke angrily, and as he spoke, everyone just looked at him. Finally, he took out his wallet and threw it on the table.
In fact, his anger was not towards the defendant, but towards his own son!
He broke out in pain under questioning, tore up the photo with his son, and gave his final opinion, not guilty!
