Chapter 689 - Exclusion of Illegal Evidence

OnStar's legal system, similar to the common law system on Earth, is based on case law, so OnStar's court system at all levels will upload judgment documents to the High Court's extranet in the form of announcements for everyone to browse and refer to and use as the main legal basis.

Of course, as for the case file, which is a secret material, it is not easily disclosed to the public, and unrelated persons can only be inquired about by hacking into the network of the High Court.

At this time, Ba Tuoli picked up a piece of charcoal-grilled eggs of a small terrestrial beast and slipped it into Zhang Qian's bowl, and said: "Bad people are generally punished by the law, you say that you want to find bad people who don't violate the law, it sounds like a bad person who is still a heinous crime, it's a bit difficult." ”

Zhang Qian glanced at the strange object in the bowl and said, "What is this?" ”

Kyoko Thief smiled and said, "I can make you eat something more manly." ”

Zhang Qian picked up this thing and threw it into the Jingzi bowl with a look of disgust, and said: "What about some people, although they have not violated the law, or the law has no way to clean them up, but he has also violated morality, and this is the kind of person we are looking for." If you have any good advice, just say. ”

Kyoko put the contents of the bowl in her mouth, chewed and swallowed, and said, "It melts in your mouth, it's delicious." That, although the eldest brother is not a picky eater, but the selection of cases is very strict, and it must be bizarre and strange enough. ”

Fu Liji said: "I understand what the two gentlemen mean, I have really heard of such people. ”

Zhang Qian glanced at Fu Liji and said, "Let's hear it." ”

Fu Liji said: "The servant of my ex-husband's family has a relative, who is a boxing star and a second-class citizen. One day last year, his wife died suddenly at home, and the police came to find him after the boxing star neighbor called the police. The neighbor called the police on the grounds that they had heard them arguing until the middle of the night, and then a gunshot was heard, and the sound of the argument came to an abrupt end. ”

Kyoko said: "It's obviously intentional homicide, that's it, just leave it to the law to deal with." ”

Fu Liji said: "What many insiders don't understand about this incident is that the police later sent this boxing star to court for intentional homicide, but the court finally found this person not guilty." This case is said to have gone all the way to the High Court, which also found the star not guilty. I also think that this star must have spent a lot of money to bribe the judge, and actually let him get away with it. And before that, everyone rumored that this star liked to beat his wife, and several times he even injured people in the hospital, and it was said that there were many mistresses outside. ”

Zhang Qian nodded and said: "This is indeed a typical case where the law does not punish him, but ordinary people do not accept it, but has he offended the authorities?" ”

Fu Liji said: "It is said that the Supreme Council of Elders also has a lot of opinions about this acquittal, but I don't know why it ended up in the end. A second-class citizen who can make the Supreme Senate unhappy and personally intervene should be regarded as offending the authorities, right? ”

Kyoko said: "I think this case can enter the eyes of the eldest brother. ”

Zhang Qian said: "After eating, I will go to the study and use the computer to check the specific situation of the case, and then make a conclusion." ”

Kyoko picked up the wine glass and said, "Anyway, I don't care, that, drink and drink." ”

After the four of them had eaten and drunk enough, Zhang Qian pulled Jingzi and went upstairs to the study together.

After turning on the computer and browsing the cases published on the OnStar High Court website for a while, as well as the files obtained by hacking into the background, Zhang Qian turned to Jingzi, who was sitting on the sofa and picking her feet, and said, "You are really looking more and more like a greasy man." ”

Kyoko picked up her right hand and sniffed it, and said, "That, I recently found that it's good to be a man, and you don't need to pretend to be a lady." ”

Zhang Qian smiled: "You have never been a lady, right?" ”

Kyoko put down her upturned feet and said, "Hurry up and get down to business!" ”

Zhang Qian Zhengse said: "I think this case is useful. ”

Kyoko said, "I'd like to hear about it." ”

Zhang Qian said: "Unexpectedly, although OnStar's social system is very backward, it has also begun to have the enlightenment of the rule of exclusion of illegal evidence. ”

Kyoko said: "What is the rule of exclusion of illegal evidence? ”

"The rule of exclusion of illegal evidence on Earth originated in the common law system and was created in the United States in the early 20th century," Zhang said. Nowadays, most countries and international organizations on the earth have formulated rules for the exclusion of illegal evidence. It usually refers to the rule that evidence obtained by law enforcement agencies and their staff using illegal acts may not be admissible in criminal trials. If it is illegal, it is intended to be obtained illegally; The exclusion initially refers to the fact that illegal evidence may not be admissible as evidence against the defendant in a criminal trial, and is later expanded to include judicial acts such as the issuance of arrest warrants and search warrants on the basis of illegally obtained evidence in pre-trial proceedings, as well as the defendant's appeal and request to the Supreme Court to review the case on the grounds that the court has not excluded the illegal evidence. ”

Kyoko nodded and said, "I understand this time, that is, the police broke the law when they collected evidence from this boxing star?" ”

Zhang Qian said: "Yes, because in OnStar, the application of the rules for the exclusion of illegal evidence has just entered the enlightenment stage, and the police are resistant to this and are not very familiar with these rules, so when the first batch of police officers arrived at the star's home, they made a procedural mistake, that is, they did not obtain a search warrant. ”

Kyoko said: "Cut, a police officer in a slave society, actually pays attention to such things as search warrants. ”

Zhang Qian glanced at Jingzi and said, "When the Neon Emperor was in cahoots with those slave owners, didn't you also continue most of the original laws formulated by the previous ruler?" Sometimes, the soundness and perfection of the law is not necessarily really for the purpose of safeguarding the interests of the public, but for the purpose of appeasing the public, so as to maintain the stability of the rule. In addition, within the ruling class, there is also a need for a sound legal system to check and balance the rights and interests of various interest groups and even individuals within them, so in history, in the ruling class of any society, there will be views and practices on a sound legal system. Take ancient Greece on the earth as an example, although on the surface all citizens are rulers, participate in politics, and collectively hold the supreme power of the state, but in essence it is only a political system in which adult male citizens are the masters of the country, and democracy is unattainable for women, foreigners, and the majority of slaves, and it is different from modern democracy, which belongs to the democracy of the slave-owning class. Even in such a social system, philosophers and jurists like Socrates were produced. ”
