Chapter 1152: Defense
Mu Zi took a deep breath.
Maybe it's because she became easy to be emotional when she was pregnant, but in this trial, her emotions fluctuated several times and she was a little impetuous.
Mu Zi pursed her lips and spoke slowly again: "More than 100 countries in the world have enacted the Law on the Prohibition of Animal Crueltyโโ
In Germany, harm to animals is punishable by a fine, and if the circumstances are serious, criminal liability can be investigated, and the maximum sentence is 3 years in prison;
Canada, where the maximum penalty for animal cruelty is 5 years in prison;
In Japan, indiscriminate killing and indiscriminate harm to animals are punishable by up to one year in prison and a fine of 1 million yen;
Article 137 of the Civil Code of Russia stipulates that cruelty to animals is not allowed, and that the value of animal life should be paid attention to in the issue of compensation for animal damage, and the compensation standard cannot be defined simply by the market value of the animal. โ
โฆโฆ The value of life.
This word passed through Mu Zi's heart, leaving a trace of suffocation.
Animal protection law is a general trend around the world, but unfortunately, this part is still in a blank area in China. Although mentioning the laws of other countries has a guiding effect, it also shows the biggest crux of this case - there is no relevant law to support.
Mu Zi looked at the members of the jury, and the faces in front of her seemed to be moved, but how long can this touch last?
When they leave here and go back to that closed jury room and engage in heated arguments, perhaps reason will gradually gain the upper hand......
"Everyone, I ......" Mu Zi hesitated for a moment and said in a tone, "I don't have to let him stay in prison for seven or eight years, I just feel that after this extreme event, he must ...... Someone has to be held accountable for this for our trial to be meaningful. โ
Mu Zi returned to her place and sat down slowly.
In silence, the defense lawyer stood up with a very uneasy expression.
"I don't deny that Mr. Xu Lin killed an innocent puppy, which is very cruel and very immoral." "I don't deny the prosecution's advocacy for animal protection, but I would like to quote a quote from the prosecution's Miss Szeto. โ
The lawyer glanced at Mu Zi and continued: "The court is not a place to treat social diseases. This statement has always stuck in my mind when Ms. Szeto defended the casino run by her husband, and I think the same applies to this case. These psychologically twisted, pathological people who see animal cruelty as a stress vent! Nauseating! I hate them too! But are they guilty? โ
The lawyer's gaze slowly moved over the faces of the jury members.
"You know, I know, we all know, it's immoral, but it's not sinful! Because we don't have any law that makes such acts guilty! Maybe someday in the future, the law on animal protection will be added, but that is in the future, not now! โ
The lawyer paused for a moment and smiled slightly, "Miss Situ just said that she didn't plan to ignore this case, but then she saw the owner of the dog and changed her mind, I can't help but ask, why is this?"
Is it compassion? Yes...... Almighty compassion, can our compassion already be above the law?
I may seem cold-blooded when I say this, but imagine if the old lady's pet was a mouse, or...... Cockroaches, will Miss Situ still stand here and shout for the so-called animal protection? โ
Speaking of this, the lawyer looked at Mu Zi with a smile: "It's hypocritical, isn't it?" โ
He turned back and looked at the jury again: "The so-called equality of life is just a joke, when we are here, because of a dog to condemn the actions of the accused, how many cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks in the world are slaughtered?" Has anyone been sued for this? Is it illegal for the urban management department to regularly capture stray cats and dogs for centralized processing? Accused? โ
