Chapter 55 - Justice? It's just a tool for you to make a name for yourself
Everyone in the audience was stunned, and then their faces began to turn weird.
"Huang Yuan, can you repeat it again?" Justice Odell asked with a puzzled expression.
Con Er stepped forward and whispered: "Sir, do you know what you are doing, quickly deny what you said before, we have a way to acquit you!" ”
Huang Yuan shook his head and said firmly: "That's right, Your Excellency Judge, I plead guilty." ”
"Those fifty-four were all killed by my battle with Crow, and no matter what explanation I use, it is blank and weak."
"In that case, I plead guilty!"
After glancing at the people in the audience, Odell coughed lightly and said, "Sir, since your case is too special, I will ask you again." ”
"Huang Yuan, are you really sure that you are responsible for the fifty-four lives that died as a result of the Philadelphia incident?"
"If it is, it's a federal felony and you face up to more than fifteen years in prison."
Huang Yuan took off his gold-rimmed glasses and put them on Kang'er's hand, and then said solemnly: "I, Huang Yuan, admit that these fifty-four lives were killed because of the battle between me and Crow, and I plead guilty. ”
Then he looked at the members of the jury and said, "Of course, the starting point of my actions is to protect my relatives and friends, and the second is to protect the citizens and public property of Philadelphia." ”
"But the truth is, the battle between me and Crow did cause the death of these fifty-four people, and I have an unshirkable responsibility."
"And I am a citizen of North America, no matter how strong I am, I need to abide by the laws of North America."
"If I can ignore these laws because I am strong, then I am afraid that I will make a big mistake in the future!"
"The law is just! It's the same! ”
After speaking, Huang Yuan bowed to everyone, and then sat back in the defendant's seat.
Justice Odell stood up, raised his hands and began to applaud, followed by everyone in the courtroom.
The people in the audience applauded the same, but everyone was thinking about the purpose of Huang Yuan's actions.
Just kidding, who here has Huang Yuan's strength and will come to the court to plead guilty?
Only Lex Luthor had a meaningful smile on his face.
Next, it's time to get into the inherent process of federal court.
Odell stood up and said, "After the unanimous deliberation of this judge and the jury, the destruction of public and private property caused by Huang Yuan in the Philadelphia incident is true. ”
"But in order to protect the lives of the public, the Philadelphia City government decided to drop the prosecution."
"As for the private property case in the civil lawsuit, because the subject of the damage was a non-human monster, this court ordered Huang Yuan to bear one-tenth of the exact damages, which is $8,261,251 and three jiao 2 cents."
"According to Article 12, Article 7, Sub-Clause of the North American Business Law, the remaining compensation will be borne by the insurance company for one-third." [The heads of major insurance companies are in tears]
"And the '54 Homicide Case' is given that Huang Yuan voluntarily pleaded guilty, and had a good attitude in admitting guilt, and was not subjectively intentional homicide."
"Therefore, this court convicts Huang Yuan of first-degree negligence causing death, and compensates a total of $3,248,252.25 for forgiveness, and five years in prison without bail!"
"Huang Yuan, if you have any objections, you can appeal to the Federal Supreme Court, I announce that I will retire from the court!"
Harvey Dant breathed a sigh of relief to hear the verdict.
He doesn't care if there is anything wrong with this verdict, he only believes that justice is only late, but it will definitely not be absent.
"Congratulations, Harvey Dant, for fighting for a just verdict for them."
Huang Yuan's voice interrupted Harvey Dant's thoughts, and the latter came back to his senses and hurriedly shook his hand.
"It's just that you only care about their justice, not your justice."
Huang Yuan stared at Harvey Dante's eyes and said, "But my justice, who will preside over it for me?" ”
"You ......"
Harvey Dent wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Huang Yuan: "If I hadn't made a move, how many people in Philadelphia do you think would have died at the hands of Crow?" ”
"Do you think those monsters came to Philadelphia to play with you?"
"So, in your eyes, you can sue me for saving millions of people in Philadelphia for fifty-four lives."
"So, if you encounter this kind of justice in the future, who wants to stand up like me?"
"In the end, the justice you have in mind is just a tool in your hands to fight for power and profit, and to gain fame and reputation."
"I'm sick for you!"
After speaking, Huang Yuan walked away under the leadership of the bailiff.
Harvey Dent was left with a sluggish face.
Moments later, in the detention cell.
At this time, Huang Yuan was already in shackles, of course, this was his willingness, otherwise no one would be able to force him.
There were only lawyer Kang with a calm face in the room, North American President Ellis and Huang Yuan, and as for the bailiffs, they had already run out.
"Huang Yuan, you make us very helpless like this." President Ellis said with a bitter face.
"Mr. President, I'm a good citizen who abides by the law and obeys the verdict, you can't talk nonsense."
Huang Yuan smiled and said: "And there is still a year to go before the presidential election, I will try my best to calm this incident and prevent it from affecting you too much, you should thank me." ”
Ellis shook his head and smiled, "I really convinced you, you guy, okay, you can come to me if you need anything." ”
"As long as I am in office, a presidential pardon can be issued for you at any time."
"Also, I'll have someone take care of the state jail you're going to, and I just beg you not to tear it down."
"Also, your sentence is estimated to be one to two years at most, and William will help you get it."
"And your family, do you need me to let someone from the Secret Service take care of you?"
Huang Yuan waved his hand and said, "No, I've already arranged everything." ”
Ellis got up and straightened his suit when he heard this, and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't bother you, and I wish you a wonderful prison holiday." ”
"Goodbye, Mr. President."
After sending Ellis off, the familiar Luthor entered.
"Yuan, you played a really good hand!" Luthor laughed as soon as he entered.
"Eh, you can't talk nonsense, I just told Mr. President, I'm a good citizen." Huang Yuan snorted.
"It's really wonderful that your move is to retreat and advance and defend instead of attack!"
"Now I think six or seven out of ten people in North America think you're a big hero," Luthor praised. ”
Huang Yuan grinned: "After all, human beings will basically sympathize with the lost in a low place, and be hostile to those who are high up in the sky, aren't they?" ”
Luthor couldn't help but shake his head and applaud: "Incisive, wise words, worthy of my fancies!" ”
Everyone Huang Yuan could think that the other party couldn't see his layout, but Luthor was definitely the one who could see it.
"I think since you did this, you must have arranged all kinds of things in advance, so I won't talk much."
"If there's anything you need me to do, just contact me."
