Chapter 298: Trial (II)
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) worked hard for a long time, but found that the people who came to observe the trial did not act in violation of the rules at all, and they fully followed the "Notes for Court Observations" distributed in advance by the crossing to regulate their dress and belongings. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Huo Yuanjia They didn't say what weapons they found, they didn't even find a pen with a sharp pen. This is the first time in nearly 100 years that a white man has been tried by a yellow man for selling opium in the Far East, and no one wants to be expelled from the court because of a small detail of his momentary negligence, resulting in the loss of the opportunity to observe this meaningful trial.
Although the security check at the entrance did not find any signs that were unfavorable to the trial, the Homeland Security Department led by Wang He did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Travelers from the 21st century have seen on the news scenes of people fighting in parliament in some so-called "boiled" countries and regions, and they don't want such a farce to happen in their own courts.
The security guards on duty in the courtroom were all in the crowd, and there were enough surveillance cameras in the venue that suspects would be "invited" out of the venue if they showed signs of trouble.
As a reporter from the bitter country, Kamei Ziming is obviously one of the people who are being monitored, and the crossers even use a high-definition surveillance camera to face him, and once he has any unusual behavior, someone will remove him.
However, to the disappointment of the travelers, the Japanese photojournalist, who had studied in Prussia, had always shown a pilgrimage on his face when the prosecution and defense lawyers took turns selecting jurors from the grand jury, and there was no hint of wanting to make trouble.
"I'm rubbing, this expression is a fan brother coming to see an idol! What about shouting slogans to disrupt the venue? A rough embryo who claimed to have studied micro-expressions sat in front of the screen in the monitoring room and complained.
Not only did the reporters who had suffered a lot during the Sino-Japanese War show no signs of wanting to make trouble, but even the reporters from the motherland of the three defendants showed great appreciation for what they had seen and heard during the trial.
Huang Xiaolei copied the jury system in the trial of the Yingjiang family's criminal case in the same way, leaving a deep impression on these white-skinned people, although most countries in the Western world have adopted a jury system similar to this system, but their system is obviously not as perfect as it was 120 years later.
Huang Xiaolei, who served as the judge, first asked the prosecution and defense to take turns to select the jury members to participate in the trial from among the grand jury members provided by the crossing, which was of course aimed at allowing both the prosecution and the defense to choose jurors in their favor. Of course, the rough embryos who will sit in the seats and wait for the selection will only make a guilty verdict, but they will all have lines, and when faced with questions from the prosecution and the defense, they will recite all kinds of different tendencies.
"To ensure the fairness of this trial, the grand jury was made up of yellow, white, and mulatto. The jury members weeded out professionals such as police, military, lawyers, and doctors to ensure that power was truly in the hands of the people. Prosecutors and defense attorneys can now ask questions of jury members in order to make their own choices. Huang Xiaolei said to the prosecutor and defense in a matter-of-fact manner.
Thanks to the diversity of the races of the personnel transmitted by the "director team", Huang Xiaolei can pretend to be a good force this time, and match the grand jury with jurors of the above races. As for copying the jury members of the Eagle Sauce family, there are no professional rules, that's just because the crossing crowd is so manpowered, and the professional who has the time to come here to watch the monkey on vacation?
Of course, the natives who came to listen didn't know the difficulties of crossing the crowd, but they believed Huang Xiaolei's rhetoric. Trouble? Inexistent! Reporters will focus their attention on the legal procedures that distinguish the Great Song Dynasty from the West, which are what the Western upper class wants to know the most, and which is also the guarantee of their newspaper sales. The drug dealers who can be put in the dock are nobodies, and who cares if they are treated fairly?
As a prosecutor, Zhao Yu seriously asked the members of the grand jury questions according to the script, and chose all yellow jurors on his list, showing a strong desire to win.
However, the lawyer, who had come all the way from the magic capital to defend the three Frenchmen, seemed not very interested in the opportunity to ask questions provided by the judge, and made his own choice after asking a few questions that were not tight, without even consulting his client.
The jury was equipped with a special French interpreter, and the French lawyer could not have made such a hasty decision because of the language barrier. The most shocking thing is that the final juror selected by the French lawyer was not a single Caucasians, and the only somewhat reliable choice was to choose a Chinese-French mixed-race uncle who knew French from the "evil spirit" team.
"I'm rubbing, wouldn't you have seen through our deceitful script, knowing that this is a dead end, why don't you just go through the motions?" In the monitoring room, they couldn't help but talk about this rough embryo that the French lawyer had chosen at a loss.
As a prosecutor, Zhao Yu also has a look on the hell about the choice of the defense lawyer, but now is the end of the nineteenth century, it is the era of racism in the epidemic, although the Eagle Sauce family won the civil war of the Yankees, and the black people also got rid of the status of slaves, but the contradictions between people of all colors are still fierce. What does it mean that this lawyer chose only one mixed-race juror? Is it an extreme recognition of the citizens of the Great Song Dynasty? He is the most lawyer, he will not have such a naïve idea, you must know that as long as he is a person, he will inevitably have tendencies, is he trying to put his client to death in such a hasty choice?
Huang Xiaolei began the trial after reconfirming the choice of the prosecution and the defense, and the reporters present also had a lot of complaints about the choice of this lawyer, and they talked quietly with the people nearby, so that Huang Xiaolei had to use the gavel on the trial seat to strike several times, asking the observers to remain quiet, and the trial could proceed.
But soon the attention of these reporters was drawn to the evidence presented by the prosecution, and they threw the low-level mistake of the Frenchman out of the clouds. The Western reporters were amazed by the color photographs taken at the scene of the crime, which would have been the only black and white images in the Western world, and the screenshots of the law enforcement cameras provided by the anti-narcotics squad, although not high-resolution, were enough to kill any photograph taken by a black-and-white camera that was bulky and often had to be lit up by burning magnesium powder.
"The empire and the Great Song Dynasty are not opponents of the same level at all, the Great Song Dynasty can actually provide this advanced camera to the police who are enforcing the law on the front line, its national strength can be seen, and the military defeat of the Imperial Navy and Army in the past is indeed a crime of non-war." Seeing these photos, Kamei sighed in his heart.
As a photojournalist accompanying the army, Kamei once couldn't keep up with the Japanese army's march because the porter was carrying a heavy camera. He can see from these photos that the advanced machine that captured these scenes is not only that it can take clearer color photos, but also that it should be smaller in size and lighter in weight, so that it can be used by law enforcement police in front-line work. And such an advanced machine, Da Song is actually equipped for the anti-drug police, what a terrible opponent!
