Chapter 227: A Special Judgment
In the afternoon of the same day, the case of "Dongban Tiezhu" suspected of intentional homicide was held in the Lingshan City Intermediate Court.
This is also the first public trial of a traverser's homicide case in Lingshan City and even the entire East China Sea Region.
Naturally, it attracted the attention of all parties.
Due to the sensitivity of the case, the hearing was not open to the public.
However, reporters from major media outlets and propagandists from relevant departments were issued observer cards, filling the auditorium.
In addition, Chu Ge, Uncle Cao, and Captain Ma Xiong, the first of the Extraordinary Association's rapid response team to arrive at the scene, also came to the court as parties.
Because the defendant had signed a confession in advance, his attitude was quite honest, and there was no such thing as the verbal swords in TV series in the courtroom.
Neither the prosecutor nor the defendant's lawyer disputed the charges, and the sentence was mainly debated.
Lawyer Kim on the defence side presented a series of evidence.
Including the "Star of Positive Transformation" recognized by the Third Detention Center, the letter of understanding signed by Chu Ge and Uncle Cao, and an expert from the Department of History and Archaeology of the Provincial City University, a series of studies on the "Hundred Desolation Barbarians" in the Immortal Cultivation Realm show that their cultural form is still in the stage of primitive tribes, and cannot be measured by the moral level of civilized people in modern society.
- Of course, it does not mean that barbarians can injure and kill people at will, but it can also be considered as a factor when sentencing.
After a two-hour trial, the Lingshan City Intermediate People's Court held that the defendant Dongman Tiezhu (male, 42 years old, from the Hundred Barbarian Tribe) tried to deliberately and illegally deprive others of their lives with a knife, and his actions constituted the crime of intentional homicide (attempt), and the charges charged by the public prosecution were confirmed.
Dongman Tiezhu's defender argued that this case was a passionate reaction of the defendant who had just crossed to the earth and was panicked, with little subjective malice, and that he had an obvious attitude of admitting guilt and repentance after the incident, and actively compensated the victim for his losses, and had obtained the victim's forgiveness.
Moreover, Dongban Tiezhu has a lot of information about the Hundred Barbarian Clan, including the formulas of thirty-five pure natural and rare herbs, and is willing to hand them over to the Alliance, twelve of which have been recognized by the relevant departments, and have made great contributions to promoting the development of medical treatment and pharmacy on the earth, which is a major meritorious service, so he requests the court to deal with it leniently.
The above-mentioned defense opinions were partially upheld, and the court partially adopted them.
In summary, Articles 246, 49, and 57 of the Earth Alliance Criminal Law, as well as Article 109 of the Earth Alliance Criminal Procedure Law, and the supplementary provisions on the jurisdiction of non-Union citizens, paragraphs 1 and 2, are applied to the defendant Dongman Tiezhu, and the judgment is as follows:
1. Defendant Dongman Tiezhu committed the crime of intentional homicide (attempt), the circumstances were relatively minor, and he was sentenced to 11 years imprisonment.
Second, the Dongman Iron Pillar crossed over, causing the damage to part of the road surface of Xingfu New Village, as well as the complete scrapping of the No. 3 substation box in the community, which will be separately filed by the community residents' committee and the local power department.
If you are not satisfied with this judgment, you may appeal through this court or directly to the High Court of the East China Sea Region within 10 days from the second day of receiving the judgment.
The verdict is complete.
As the gavel fell gently, a trial that had no precedent at least within the limits of Lingshan City came to an end.
But as part of the rumbling operation of the Union's vast state apparatus, this particular trial is not completely over.
Dongban Tiezhu pleaded guilty to the law, but he still had something to say to the judge and the people of the city.
The judge agreed to his request.
"Boom!"
Dozens of cameras are aimed at the East Barbarian Iron Pillar.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, I deserve my crimes, I will never appeal, I will definitely reform in prison, and strive to come out as soon as possible to make up for the damage I have caused to the earth."
Dongban Tiezhu bowed deeply to the judge, then turned around and bowed deeply to the auditorium, "I still want to say 'I'm sorry' to the fathers and villagers in Lingshan City, because my misdeeds have frightened you, and thank you for giving me this opportunity to reform myself, so you can watch my performance carefully!"
"By the way, I still want to say something heartfelt to those fellow villagers in the immortal cultivation world, as well as the magicians in the 'illusion realm' - if you also travel to the earth, you must learn my lesson, don't rely on your own supernatural powers and magic, you will be lawless and reckless! As an immortal cultivator and a magician, you must also know the law, understand the law, abide by the law, and even more importantly, promote the law. ”
Dongban Tiezhu's shape and slightly clumsy accent won the favor of many people in the auditorium.
They all regard him as an ignorant barbarian, who is slowly being civilized under the light of the earth's civilization.
Of course, they will also publicize this meaning to the audience in the whole city, the entire East China Sea region, and even the world through one report after another.
This is the end of the trial.
Outside the courtroom, Chu Ge, as one of the parties to the case and a recent hero in Lingshan City, was interviewed by reporters from "Lingshan Online", "Lingshan Media Group" and "Lingshan Legal Evening News".
"Classmate Chu Ge, I'm afraid that many netizens who care about you still don't know that your legendary path actually started with a fierce battle with a traverser, so at that time, as an ordinary person who was powerless, to fight against a powerful immortal cultivator, what did you think?" A reporter from Lingshan Online asked.
Behind the camera, several staff members held several teleprompter boards, which were full of prompts and ideas for Chu Ge.
Chu Ge applied a little powder, his lips were red and his teeth were white, he smiled slightly, and he was calm: "At that time, 'Boom', countless heroic images appeared in my mind, and the battle flag of our Earth Alliance waving in the wind also appeared, as soon as I thought of it, behind me was our great alliance, that is, countless lovely alliance citizens, my blood was surging upward, I couldn't control myself at all, my brain was blank, so I rushed forward!" ”
"Aren't you afraid?" A reporter from Lingshan Media Group asked.
"Afraid? What's so scary! ”
Chu Ge disagreed, "That's right, the other party has hideous eyes, blue faces and fangs, and it does look a little terrifying, but he crossed over, and he was alone, but behind me there were thousands of Earth Army, Red Helmets, people's police, special police, special investigators and extraordinary agents...... There are tens of millions of steel armies supporting me and protecting me, so why should I be afraid? What's more, I'm afraid it won't solve the problem! ”
"So, what do you think of today's trial?" A reporter from the Lingshan Legal Evening News asked.
"I think...... Very good! ”
Chu Ge said, "This reasonable, fair and just trial not only demonstrates the strength of the Earth Alliance, but also shows our restraint, the people of the earth have always been hardworking and brave, peace-loving races, until the last resort, we are not willing to kill them all, not to mention that the friendship between the earth, the immortal world and the illusion world has a long history, as early as a thousand years ago, I am afraid that there was a close cultural exchange, and the commonality of each other's languages is the best evidence, so as long as the traversers are honest, take the initiative to show up, and show their identities to the extraordinary association, You can make friends and let you stay on Earth and shine.
"And our citizens, if you encounter a traverser, there is no need to panic, you must believe that most of the traversers are actually more scared than you, and you can be protected by the powerful forces of the alliance in a few minutes.
"Of course, against a handful of criminals who are stubborn and insist on defying the law, whether you are a Da Luo Jin Immortal in the Immortal Cultivation Realm or a prince and nobleman in the Illusion Demon Realm, the Earth Alliance will not be merciful, today, Dongban Tiezhu has chosen a correct path, and in other days, if someone wants to try the 'wrong path', we will never be polite!"
One last question.
"Classmate Chu Ge, we heard that after you shined in the spiritual magnetic storm in the 80,000-person stadium, you were seriously injured, and you lay in the extraordinary medical center for more than half a month before barely recovering, but the future cultivation path is still full of uncertainty, many netizens and citizens are very concerned about you, can you tell you about your current situation?"
Three reporters asked at the same time.
"It is true that I am seriously injured, and my body is full of small wounds that cannot be detected by all kinds of cutting-edge medical equipment, but I can feel very clearly that every day and night, the pain like ten thousand arrows piercing my heart continues to torment me, and the hope of healing is very slim, to put it seriously, to a large extent, I have ...... Fallen. ”
Chu Ge sighed, immediately cheered up, and waved his fists vigorously, "However, everyone rest assured, 'Physically Handicapped and Strong' is my motto, I will never give in, even if I really become a useless piece of firewood, it will not affect me to continue to repay the society, serve the public, and selfless dedication!"
"I have always believed that there is no distinction between high and low abilities, there is no high or low profession, and all of us, working diligently and diligently in all positions, are fighting for the Earth Alliance and the future of human civilization! No matter what it becomes, I will fight side by side with the fathers and villagers of Lingshan City and all the compatriots on the whole earth and persevere to the end! ”
