310. Persons outside the law

"What's the problem? This is the cry of justice from everyone! Black Star smiled reservedly: "In this cold city made of steel and concrete, there has always been such a group of compassionate and empathetic righteous citizens who can make their voices heard for the unjust, false and wrongful cases that have occurred...... Aren't we human beings able to continue to this day by virtue of this kind of love and justice? ”

Yan Xiuze watched the super-powerful criminal who was stirring up trouble all over the world unashamedly advocating love and justice in the New York courtroom, and couldn't help but slander in his heart: "It's ironic......"

"Don't let such a flood of compassion go!" De Witz sneered: "The most difficult thing for me to understand is not the herd mentality that I had anticipated for a long time, but the feeling of strangeness...... What kind of intelligence can make you go against your own interests and support an outlier who is on the opposite side of yours! ”

"Outliers? Who is Outliers? Blackstar asked rhetorically, "Are you referring to my client's identity as a superpower?" Although there are still very few superpowers today, can't their rights and interests be guaranteed? I now have good reason to suspect that you are discriminating against ......"

"You've misunderstood me." De Witz said lightly: "I don't mean to discriminate against the superpowers, on the contrary, from a legal point of view, Mr. Thomas and the other superpowers are also on the opposite side...... Except for him, all of us are at one end, and at the other end, he is the only one. ”

"Huh?" Blackstar frowned, and paused for a moment, he didn't even understand the meaning of Dewitz's words for a while.

"Whoever breaks the law will be judged by the law...... Superpowers are also human beings, and nature is no exception. De Wittz said slowly: "If the eye of the storm suddenly goes berserk and slaughters civilians now, then he will naturally be charged with homicide." ”

"Joke, even if the eye of the storm sitting in the auditorium really kills people now, can those wine bags and rice bags in New York keep people?" De Wittz scoffed.

"Yes, maybe he can break through the siege and escape...... Maybe you won't see the day he reaches the bench for the rest of your life......," De Witz said, "but at least, the whole world knows that he killed people and committed crimes." ”

"It is our duty and the need for us lawyers and judges to tell the public how many people this supernatural man has killed and how long he will be sentenced according to the law...... But that's the end of it, because it's our job to find him guilty, and it's the New York police and other superheroes to take him to the judgment seat. ”

In other words, even a powerful individual as strong as the eye of the storm at the top of the superpower's combat power has no immunity before the law...... He can escape the physical punishment brought to him by the outcome of the legal trial, but there is no way to escape the legal trial itself - whether he can be caught or not, whether he can serve his sentence is another matter, at least we have sentenced him a reasonable sentence. ”

"But what about Thomas?" De Witz stared at Thomas, who was sitting in the dock, and gritted his teeth: "If he can walk out of the New York courthouse today as an innocent person, then what does it mean?" ”

"This person did not use his super strength to forcibly break through the blockade and escape; Nor is it about bringing the Inquisitor to its knees with monstrous power or covert money dealings...... But after a fair and open trial, and after heated discussions among a group of people engaged in the legal profession, it was found that he was really not guilty? ”

"What's wrong with that?" Black Star said expressionlessly.

"Of course there is a problem! Big problem! De Witz gritted his teeth and said, "Today he walked out of the courthouse as innocent, so what about tomorrow?" ”

"What about next time?"

"What if we encounter a similar case again?"

"If ......"

"What if Thomas kills again?"

"Pay attention to your words, my client is acting in self-defense, not intentional homicide...... And even this justified defense was because of the special circumstances......" Blackstar tried to interrupt Dewitz's words.

"What do you mean by special circumstances?" De Wittz asked rhetorically: "Holding a gun in your hand is a special case, and holding a knife is also a special case...... Is holding other lethal sharp objects a special case? ”

"The iron skewer of barbecue can kill people, so is eating barbecue a special case?"

"Stiletto heels can also kill, so is wearing high heels a special case?"

"Even the plastic bags in the supermarket can suffocate people, so is it a special case when you go shopping?"

"If he walks out like this today, everyone here should be careful...... Because there is one more person in this world, no matter who kills, he does not have to bear any legal responsibility...... When you meet Thomas, you'd better clean up all the sharp objects on your body that could kill you...... Oh, I forgot, you can kill even with your bare hands, so you'd better tie your hands and feet, because if you expose anything even the slightest bit of aggression, he's entitled to shoot you or run you to death with his white sports car...... Then then in court afterwards you identified your body and said - this man tried to kill me with such and such an object twenty seconds later. ”

"And you have nowhere to pleadβ€”for the dead cannot speak."

β€œso…… Let's guess who Thomas's next 'justifiable defense' will be? Maybe it's you, it's you? It's you? …… Or is it you? ”

De Witz pointed to almost everyone in the auditorium, the jury, and the judge's box, and finally put his hand in the direction of the black star: "Or you?" ”

"All the people are not safe, all are suspicious...... It's because of a damn sentence! Two! Ten! Second! It! After! Want! Kill! Finish! I! ”

In the second half of the words, De Weitz shouted out almost word by word, Yan Xiuze sat in the audience, and could even clearly see the clear veins on his face that was red from excessive congestion.

"Of course, this is just the beginning." After calming down a little, De Witz exhaled lightly, regained his calm nature, and then said lightly: "You should already know that most of the superpowers, after consciously exercising, their superpowers will slowly enhance and evolve, right?" ”

"Now Mr. Thomas's self-proclaimed time limit for foreseeing the future is twenty seconds, and I think you may think that twenty seconds is a very short period of time, a snap of a finger."

"But if Mr. Thomas's superpowers get stronger and stronger over time, and become thirty seconds, forty seconds, one minute, two minutes......"

"When we magnify this time limit and make it extreme, you think about it, what if the time limit for predicting the future becomes 20 years?"

"This lady, do you have any children?" At this point, De Wittz suddenly turned to the female juror and asked softly.

The female juror was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Yes, it's a boy, ten years old this year." ”

"You must love your son very much, right?"

"Of course." The female juror looked puzzled.

"What if Thomas told you that in twenty years your son would develop a deadly virus that would destroy the whole world in the future......"

De Witz's eyes flashed with an inexplicable cold light: "Will you let Thomas kill his own son?" ”
