Chapter Seventy-Nine: Innocence

In the Yanhua Empire, the jury is an indispensable part of the court, the jury has the right to participate in the trial of the case, and the general jury is divided into large and small, the grand jury is composed of 23 people, only responsible for criminal cases and major civil disputes.

The petit jury is composed of 6-12 people, less than half or more, although the size is different, but the rights and functions are the same, and every citizen has the obligation to jury, and each court session will immediately select the registered jurors to participate in the trial.

However, the jury cannot directly make a verdict, and their opinions are only used as a reference, and the judge can choose to adopt or reject them according to the facts of the case, but if it is rejected, it must give a reasonable explanation of the jury's issues, and the verdict is valid only if the jury's dissenting opinion is completely overturned.

Zhang Yao himself doesn't know much about the law, and it is the first time he appears in the court, the legal system of the Yanhua Empire is completely different from the original time and space, and he is simply blind, and he has a headache after understanding it, and said: "It's really complicated." ”

"It's responsible, but it's fair and just, so it's not easy to do anything, and it's better to be cumbersome when you need to." Ning Xue agrees with this.

"The question is, is it really possible?" Xia Yaohan shrugged her shoulders and expressed her skepticism, Ning Xue sighed and said, "No matter how good the system is, it is also implemented by people, and if people themselves can't do it, there is nothing to be done." The jury system itself is good, but it has been criticized in recent years, and things like receiving money have happened from time to time, not to mention that many people are coping with things. ”

"If you look it up on the Internet, it will be posted that many people are asking how to evade jury duty, and more and more people only think about it and don't think about it at all." Zhou Hongwei also shook his head.

"So it's mainly a matter of consciousness, while saying that the law is unfair, and on the other hand, you have the right and don't exercise it, and in the end it's actually yourself who is unlucky, who can blame it." Zhang Yao also sighed.

In comparison, he thinks this is much better, but he has the ability to supervise but is unwilling to go, that is his own problem, and when he loses this right, he is afraid that he will regret it.

Xu Li said: "It's not appropriate to say more about this kind of thing, the time is almost up, let's go, otherwise the reporters will come later, and I don't know what the problem will be." ”

In the case of a public trial, everyone can go to observe, and no one may be interested in others, but the nude/photo incident itself is vigorous, and Zhang Yao is also a big star, so the attention is naturally different.

In addition to dozens of media, there were also a lot of people who came to see the excitement, and they couldn't even sit down in the courtroom, and there was a large group of people standing behind them.

Zhang Yao finally got the opportunity to confront the other party, he didn't have the opportunity to speak too much in court, and it was not suitable to say too much, many times the more he said, the more wrong he became, and it was best for a lawyer to do it for him.

In court, although the actress is still hard-mouthed, biting to death the fact that Zhang Yao did not fulfill the unspoken rules to her, the defense lawyer is also trying his best to confirm it, but after all, it is a groundless matter, under the questioning of lawyer Zhang Yao, she is always speechless, and she can only be hard-mouthed in the face of ironclad appraisal results.

Many observers and reporters have been able to guess the outcome when they see this result, and even then the procedure still has to be followed, and after the defense of both sides is over, there will be a short adjournment, and the jury will discuss it, give an opinion, and then the judge will decide.

In the lounge, Zhang Yao first thanked the lawyer, and then said: "During the trial, I noticed that the actress obviously reviewed the jury frequently, is this the person who has them inside?" ”

"I've also received some news that Hao Zhongwu has bought off a lot of jurors, but even then it shouldn't have much impact." Xu Li wasn't too sure, so she asked the lawyer instead, "Lawyer Zhao, this shouldn't affect the result, right?" ”

Lawyer Zhao said: "Don't worry, now that the evidence is ironclad, even the jurors will not be able to find fault to change the result, and the discerning people already know the facts, and it is impossible to make mistakes." ”

"But if they know they will lose, why do they bother so hard?" Ning Xue was puzzled.

Lawyer Zhao said: "I don't know about this, maybe they want to continue to pour dirty water on Zhang Yao." ”

"There's no need to splash it at all, as long as you continue to muddy the water, their purpose will be achieved, maybe it's not necessarily the purpose at all, in short, it's good to win, let's talk about the rest." Since she couldn't figure it out, Xia Yaohan didn't bother to think about it anymore, anyway, it was useless to think too much about it.

The jury questioned the fact that they were more inclined to believe that the actress was telling the truth, but the issues pointed out were indeed a bit strong, and in the end they were all dismissed by the judge.

It is true that the jury has the right to question, but it is also necessary to give reasonable reasons for questioning, not just saying that questioning can be questioned, otherwise it is better not to be chaotic, and it is better not to accuse indiscriminately.

In the end, the court pronounced a verdict in court, confirming that everything the actress told was a lie, because the defamation caused harm to Zhang Yao, and she was required to publicly apologize and compensate for the loss of reputation.

At the end of the trial, countless reporters couldn't wait, and even those jurors were blocked, everyone was not stupid, and at this point, they were actually able to get behind them, and these jurors were obviously accomplices.

"We're just making reasonable doubts, and I think our questions are reasonable, but the court has already handed down the verdict, and the results have come out to no avail."

"So you always think that the actress is telling the truth?" The reporter then asked, and the juror said, "That's what you said, not what I said." ”

This was deliberately trying to make the reporter think so, and when the reporter wanted to continue asking, he had already gotten in the car and left, and the actress was taken away without giving any interview.

The reporters all gathered in front of Zhang Yao, as the protagonist, he still can't leave without an interview today, and he is very happy to be interviewed at this time.

"I'm glad to see this result, thank the court for giving me a clean slate, if no matter how much I try to argue, the court's verdict should be convincing enough, right?"

"Zhang Yao, why do you think that actress slandered you? Have you had a festival before? After the reporter realized that there might be bigger news behind him, he didn't have much interest in Zhang Yao's slander itself.

The courts have already helped to clarify, and the matter can be regarded as an end, of course, for the latter reason to be more newsworthy.

Zhang Yao said: "I don't know her, I've never seen her, of course there is no holiday, as for why she slandered me, I don't know, it's not important, the important thing is that I got justice." ”

It has long been confirmed that the person behind the scenes is Hao Zhongwu, but this is just speculation, and there is no solid evidence, so it still can't be said explicitly, otherwise Hao Zhongwu will let him go and sue him for slander.

"Zhang Yao, how do you feel when something like this happens?" Seeing that Zhang Yao didn't plan to say more, the reporter didn't give up.

"I can't talk about any feelings, people will always encounter such and such things in the world, and there may be more troubles in the future, but if it is solved, it will be over. Now that I've proven my innocence, there may still be people who are messing around, but I'm not going to dwell on it, and I won't make any response to this matter in the future, after all, people have to look forward. ”

"Zhang Yao, don't you resent her at all? If she was just being taken advantage of, would you care who was behind her? Finally, a reporter couldn't bear it anymore and asked directly.

Zhang Yao said: "Of course there is resentment, after all, she has caused me great distress, and also brought a lot of trouble to my relatives and friends around me, so she must apologize publicly, but I am more sorry for her than resentment." ”

"Of course, these are not the most sad for me, the most painful thing for me in the whole incident is the attitude of the jurors, I think they have been derelict in their duties, and they have not fulfilled their obligations as jurors at all."

Speaking of jurors, Zhang Yaoke was not polite, and he didn't care if he would offend people, and scolded them for their disregard for the facts, directly saying that they were not qualified to be jurors at all.

Although the reporter didn't get what he wanted, Zhang Yao's dissatisfaction with the jurors was also an external gain, and the news was reported and immediately caused a heated discussion.

Sure enough, there are still people who are muddying the waters, saying that you are using your power to bully the actress, and some netizens think so. It's still the same sentence, the people who hate you themselves, but they won't listen to the truth. ”

Xu Li said: "But fortunately, you successfully led the topic to the matter of the jurors, and I also found some people to help the trouble, and now the matter about the jurors is the most concerned, which you have done well." ”

"Well, I didn't mean to create smoke to cover my retreat, why do I feel a little weak when you say that?"

Xu Li glanced at him and said: "You also need to be smart to protect your rights and interests, although this is a small measure, but in fact, the jurors have been very controversial in recent years, otherwise you think the repercussions will be so big, how can the topic be so easy to create, in fact, it can only be said that this is just a fuse." ”

"That's the same, in short, it's too peaceful, it's really hard to move." The matter was over, and Zhang Yao felt relieved.

Xu Li asked curiously: "If you didn't bring up this topic on purpose, it means that you are really dissatisfied with the status quo of the jury?" Yes, it's very socially responsible. ”

"I'm a highly conscious person." Zhang Yao smiled and said: "Not only that, I think it is necessary to go further, such as making a movie or something." ”
