"Lieutenants, look at these cases. These cases are a mess, first of all, you look at this, there is no witness testimony, there is no physical evidence, just by virtue of the location of some so-called stolen goods. As for this, you see, there is only the confession of the criminal, and there is no physical evidence next to it, and only the confession will convict the other person. I now have a deep suspicion that how did you get these confessions in the first place, did you use torture to extract confessions? And this, there are only some sporadic evidence, and these evidence are not enough to prove that he committed a crime. And this guy has been convicted of other people's crimes, which makes me deeply doubt, how do you all try the case? Chen Fei said very unceremoniously.

And one of the county lieutenants immediately said: "Chen joined the army, did he let go of a bad guy because of insufficient evidence?" ”

"I'm not here with you today to discuss whether or not to let go of the bad guys. I just wanted to discuss with you how not to wronged a good person. I know that you all subconsciously think that those so-called people are guilty, so the more you look at it, the more you look guilty. And you should have all heard the story of Zhizi's suspicious neighbor, which makes us think deeply! If you think that the other person is guilty from the beginning, then no matter how you look at the next trial, he is guilty. Therefore, when you try a case, the original intention of natural and impartial law enforcement is contrary to each other. ”

"Now, I'm just going to tell you, what would you think if one day you were all judged?"

Chen Fei's words suddenly made everyone start to become silent. Now they are trying others, but in the future, maybe others will judge themselves. And now I have easily convicted others of crimes, and who knows if others will easily and hastily convict of their own crimes in the future? After all, no one likes to be wronged, and if they really encounter it, then I'm afraid it's really bad luck.

"You should all know that Sage Kong also said back then, don't do to others what you don't want to be done. You yourself don't want the officials to judge you so hastily, but now you are judging others so hastily. It is said that there are gods in the three feet above the head. Where has your awe gone? The people also have a folk proverb, good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil, it is not that it will not be reported, the time has not yet come. If you can judge others so sloppily today, others will judge you so sloppily in the future. If that time comes, what will you think in your hearts? ”

Everyone was so speechless by Chen Fei's words, after all, they were all afraid that they would have such a day. If such a day really comes, it will really be called heaven and earth not to be spiritual. In addition, it is the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the officialdom is not corrupted, and the vast majority of officials are still fair. There is no corruption in the overall rule of officials. This is the best. In fact, the reason for this situation is also due to the inference of guilt, not the cause of official corruption. This kind of thing is still easy to solve, after all, it is not caused by official corruption. If it is caused by the corruption of officials, then Chen Fei really has no way to solve it.

"Alright, I hope you'll think about it later. When you are trying a case, you might as well try to put yourself in the shoes of a criminal. See if you can excuse them. You must first think of them as sinless. Is the evidence so reliable? If they are innocent in the first place, then whether the evidence can really prove their guilt conclusively? Therefore, you must put yourself in your shoes, after all, do unto others as you would have them do unto you! ”

Chen Fei didn't expect them to be very cooperative with him. After all, long-term thinking is not something that can be changed in an instant. Chen Fei just hopes that they can change their thinking, so that they can first establish a thinking that there is no doubt about guilt. When they try the case, let them think differently and let them consider whether the evidence is conclusive from the perspective of the criminal. Or even let them think about it. How to refute whether these evidences can be refuted. If it is refuted, it means that the evidence is not so reliable. Any credible evidence is irrefutable. If the evidence can be refuted, there is definitely some problem, but it is just a matter of more or less. The offender must also be given a chance to question the evidence, which is also the right that the offender should have. This is called cross-examination in later generations, and it is a necessary procedure. If the judge who hears the case can take the initiative to cross-examine the criminal suspect, it is actually the best and the least likely to produce an unjust case. In this way, first of all, it can ensure that a good person will not be wronged, and as for whether the criminal can be punished, that is another matter.

"Okay, Chen joins the army, we will definitely do the same when we go back. In the future, we will definitely think more about the idea of criminals, so in the future, we will definitely try to avoid unjust, false and wrongful cases. Someone said right away.

"Okay, let's leave it at that, and I hope you can really put an end to unjust, false and wrongful cases in the future!" Chen Fei said.

Chen Fei returned to the county government and issued an official document, that is, about cleaning up the prisons within the scope of Bozhou. In particular, those whose evidence is vague and insufficient should be strictly investigated. However, Chen Fei also first stated that this inspection of unjust prisons will not hold those who misjudged the case accountable. Chen Fei also knew that if he insisted on being held accountable, there were few judges in the world who could be completely clean. If I insist on continuing to hold those officials accountable, I am afraid that I will become the public enemy of the officials in the world. Moreover, this is also the thinking of suspecting guilt, which is a problem of the entire era, and it cannot be completely blamed on the judicial officials of this era. If you want to use the standards of another era to measure the standards of ancient times, it is actually Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong.

Therefore, Chen Fei was only able to make them change their thinking, and did not investigate the problems that occurred in their past trials. As for those who have no hard evidence, they will also be sent home to live their own lives. However, Chen Fei did not completely guarantee that he would not be held accountable, because if there is conclusive evidence in the future, he will continue to be held responsible. However, everything depends on the specific evidence, and if there is evidence, it is not impossible to recapture them. However, Chen Fei must implement this idea of never being guilty of any doubt in this Bozhou. If there is no conclusive evidence, no penalty can be imposed. (To be continued......)
