307.
"Uh...... I think ......" The female juror's face was full of confusion, and she hesitated for a long time: "In fact, is there any inevitable connection between these two things?" β
"Looks like I still need to explain the logic behind this." "Whether you ate the cake in the future or not, the cake on the counter was still undamaged at the point in time when you hadn't paid for it, and the dessert shop didn't lose anything at that time, and your deal with the dessert shop didn't go through......"
"Of course you don't think you need to pay, right?"
"That's right." The female juror nodded.
"So, do you think this example is familiar?" De Weitz's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and he said slowly: "Let's drag the focus back to this case again...... This is despite Mr. Thomas's claim that he knew that Myerren was about to rob him and take his life with a pistol...... But at that point, it didn't happen. β
"Do people need to be held accountable for things they haven't done yet? Of course, there are some cases where yes. β
"You raise the gun in your hand and point it at my forehead, the gun is already loaded with live ammunition, when will you pull the trigger, when will I go to God...... This can have two consequences β one is that I am dead, and the other is that I am not dead. β
"It doesn't matter what the situation is when you don't die...... Maybe you've been subdued by the police who heard the noise; Or maybe you are kind at the last minute, and all the difference is just the difference in sentencing after going to court. β
"But if you look at the difference between whether I'm dead or not, then your charges are well definedβone is intentional homicide, and the other is attempted homicide."
"I think it should be clear to you that the sentencing standards of the two are completely different, right?"
"And what about Mr. Myerlon, who was hit and killed by Thomas? No, he wasn't even an attempted murder, because he had lost his life before he even had a chance to raise the gun in his hand. β
"Is there something wrong with this order?"
"Again, ma'am, do you still think Thomas is innocent?"
Facing De Witz's oppressive gaze, the female juror seemed to feel a little suffocated, and subconsciously blurted out: "No, he is guilty!" β
"Wait a minute, isn't the guiding character in what you just said too heavy?" Black Star's face was so ugly for the first time, and he raised his hand in protest, "This is not a glorious method! β
"If you have a more reasonable point, you might as well take it out and guide you." De Wittz said lightly.
"You're right, if you strictly follow the law's definition of justifiable defense, my client should stop the car first, then walk down, wait until Myerren raises the gun and says the word 'robbery', and then run back into the car as fast as possible, eject and start as fast as possible, and hit the robber in front of him who wants his own life to death." Blackstar scoffed, "Of course, we can now use the so-called 'right process' to review what happened, because for now, the one of the two who survived was my client......"
But when one's life is in danger, will a normal person still think about what kind of sentence he will get in the future? In front of him is a vicious robber, who could raise his gun at any moment and shoot ......"
"Wait a minute, are you 100% sure that Myerren would have raised a gun at that time?" De Witz suddenly interrupted Black Star's words in a loud voice, and a terrifying momentum squeezed over like a mountain: "If you dare to say that, I will immediately resign from the position of the plaintiff's lawyer, and never interfere in all matters related to this case again!" β
Strangely, in the face of Dewitz's vow-like promise, Blackstar reversed his previous frivolous freehand, but became completely silent in a rare way, as if he did not dare to answer the question at all.
The whole courtroom suddenly became silent.
"Strange...... What exactly is the defendant's defense lawyer afraid of? Why didn't you talk all of a sudden? Tiriga wondered.
"Of course he can't speak, otherwise wouldn't it contradict Thomas's confession before?" Yan Xiuze replied casually, but he immediately felt that something was wrong......
Wait a minute......
"When did you sit next to me?" Yan Xiuze looked at Ti Lijia with an innocent face and exclaimed.
"Just now...... You may have been too focused to notice me. Tirijia shrugged slightly, and then asked repeatedly, "You're only halfway through what you've just said, haven't you?" Where is the contradiction? β
Although Yan Xiuze still had some doubts in his heart, he could only put it in his heart first, and then patiently explained to Tirejia: "Do you remember the last court trial, when De Witz proposed to re-test Thomas's ability?" β
"But you have to know that the ultimate goal of De Wittz at that time was not to prove that Thomas could actually predict the future, but to introduce the concept that the future is not a single line, but an infinite number of possibilities."
"In fact, it's true that the future itself is full of uncertainties."
"You could say that Myeron had a good chance of killing Thomas when he got out of the car, but you can't say that the probability is 100 percent."
"For example, if Thomas had really stopped the car and got down, of course Myerren would have pulled out a pistol and pointed it at him...... But if he doesn't turn around and run away, but obediently cooperates with Myerron's robbery plan, it may cause some property damage at most, and it may not necessarily really lose his life, which is also a possibility in the future. β
"But wouldn't that make all your future dependent on the kindness of a robber?" Tirijia wondered.
"That's right, entrust your fate to someone else...... And he is a vicious robber, which is naturally not a wise choice, which is why Thomas would have crashed directly into it in the first place. Yan Xiuze said helplessly: "However, although it is reasonable, it may not be in line with the law!" β
"If the defendant's lawyer really said that Myerren would 100% pull out a gun and shoot, it would undoubtedly be contrary to Thomas's so-called 'future uncontrollable theory', and De Weitz would naturally seize this contradiction and attack it vigorously, and it would be difficult to turn over after that."
"In that case, it is very difficult for the defendant's defense lawyer to deal with the current situation." Tirijia said thoughtfully.
"It looks like this now, but if it's that guy......" Yan Xiuze narrowed his eyes and looked at Heixing, who had been silent: "I don't believe that he will run out of skills." β
