At around nine o'clock in the morning, as a young judge of twenty-seven or eighteen years old sat in the bench, the Bruce intentional homicide case officially opened.

Hobert feels the pressure on the judge, and he suspects that the judge is the real "judge", and he came to the courtroom to play it.

The prosecutor spoke first, stating Bruce's guilt: "...... The defendant threw about 8 pounds of explosives into Mr. Wyant's yard.

"I asked the professionals before the trial that eight pounds of gunpowder would have blown down Mr. Wynent's house and devastated the family in their sleep.

In addition, a huge explosion can affect Mr. Wynt's neighbors, causing them to be injured to varying degrees, and even starting a fire that causes more casualties.

"Your Excellency, we believe that the defendant's behavior has seriously affected the personal and property safety of dozens of citizens, and is a typical crime of explosion and intentional homicide!

"End of our statement."

The judge said, "Now I give the floor to the defendant's lawyer." ”

Dressed in a black lawyer's uniform and wearing a wig, Hobart stood up and said, "Honorable judges, observers, I really didn't expect the prosecutor to make such a ridiculous conclusion!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the relatives of the Wynant family in the auditorium immediately became agitated, and some even cursed in a low voice.

The judge said to Hobert: "Counsel for the defendant, be careful with your words. ”

"Your Excellency, I'm telling the truth." Hobert said: "The evidence provided by the prosecution is on the table in front of you, I believe the prosecution has determined, the fuse is simply made of paper, even if it is ignited, it is difficult to burn the bomb, and the fuse is not connected to the gunpowder, but glued to the outside of the bomb."

"Ladies and gentlemen, can such a bomb be detonated? No matter how powerful this gunpowder is, this bomb will not explode at all!

"The point is that Mr. Bruce did not light the fuse at all, that is, he subjectively did not commit a factual crime, nor did he use the gunpowder as a bomb.

"I need to remind the prosecutor that the crime of explosion is a specific dangerous crime, and unless the plaintiff provides evidence that the bomb will definitely be detonated, or that Mr. Bruce has subjectively detonated it, the prosecutor's complaint is not specific enough and the crime of explosion is not established!

"Since the crime of explosion is not established, the crime of intentional homicide is not established. So I think the prosecutor's argument is ridiculous! ”

The audience immediately erupted with the sound of Wynant family and friends, as well as the heckling and cheering of Bruce's friends and family.

The judge hammered the gavel: "Silence! Lawyer for the defendant, is there anything else you would like to say? ”

After everyone had quieted down, Hobert said, "Your Excellency, we are done. ”

This was followed by a statement by the prosecutor, who went on to describe the dangers of the explosives, the instability of the explosives, and the threat they posed to the personal and property of the Wynant family.

When it was Hobert's turn to speak, he smiled and said, "Your Excellency, prosecutor, should we do an investigative experiment and throw this evidence at me to see if I will be blown up?" ”

Hobert firmly grasped the loophole in the characterization of the crime of explosion, so that the prosecutor had to change his strategy: "Your Excellency, it is likely that the defendant committed a crime of passion, so he did not properly handle the fuse of the bomb. But the moment the defendant threw the bomb into Mr. Wyant's yard, he was already guilty of intentional injury! ”

This is an abandonment of the prosecution of the crime of explosion in favor of a "line of defense" for the crime of intentional homicide.

"Prosecutors, we might as well make such an assumption." "I shouted at you, 'I'm going to kill you,' and then threw a pistol without bullets at you, do you think I'm intentionally killing someone?"

"Mr. Bruce may have a grudge against the Wynant family, but he has not taken effective action, guys, when is it time to face more than 20 years in prison if you have a grudge against someone?"

(If convicted of intentional homicide, Bruce faces at least 20 years in prison.) ）

Hober asked the prosecutor, "Do you want to deprive people of the power to have feelings?" Even demons and evil gods are not so cruel, why should you do this? ”

Hobert's brilliant thought experiments and defenses drew applause and cheers from the audience.

The prosecutor gradually became a little unable to resist Hobert's "offensive": "The defendant's lawyer, please don't quibble, the defendant resents the Wyndt family and drops bombs at them, and the causal relationship is established, which is an indisputable fact.

"Does the defendant's lawyer think that someone is not guilty of throwing a bomb at your house?"

"Guilty, of course guilty." Hobert Road.

Everyone was a little surprised by this answer, and even exclaimed a few times.

But Hobart continued: "Mr. Bruce's charge of buying and possessing dangerous articles is punishable by a fine of £10 to £30 and detention for a term not exceeding fifteen days and three months, according to the relevant statutes.

"As for dropping bombs on the Wynant family, it's a false accusation! It can't be called a bomb at all, and Mr. Bruce has no murderous intent at all, and it does not constitute intentional homicide! ”

At this point in the trial, Hobert's defense of innocence was largely successful, and it was difficult for the prosecutor to launch an effective "offensive" in the subsequent defense.

In the spectator seat, smiles gradually appeared on the faces of Bruce's relatives and friends, while Wynt's family and friends gradually became solemn.

In his final argument, Hobert said, "Your Excellency, this case seems to be a model-like bomb argument, but in fact it represents a growing margin for error among the citizens of Beckland. If my client is really arrested and imprisoned for a prank, the open-minded and tolerant spirit of the Kingdom of Rune will be dealt a serious blow! ”

The judge was moved by these words, and finally the judge announced the verdict: "The prosecutor did not provide sufficient evidence to prove the defendant's intent to kill, and did not form a specific dangerous crime conclusion. The Tribunal found that the two claims of the Public Prosecutor for the charges of explosion and intentional homicide were not established.

"But because the defendant purchased and possessed dangerous goods, and the circumstances were serious, and there was a tendency to harm others, he was fined 30 pounds and detained for three months!"

Bruce's family and friends breathed a sigh of relief, a £30 fine was not much for them, and three months was not a long time, and the verdict was much stronger than the conviction of the accused of intentional homicide.

Wyndt, who was on the plaintiff's bench, was not satisfied with the result, and shouted that he was going to appeal, but the judge ignored Wynt, he put away his papers, and left the bench unhurriedly.

At this time, Hobert was in a very wonderful state, and the judge's announcement of the verdict just now was like a constant feedback on Hobert's use of the law and the exploitation of loopholes in the plaintiff's claims.

When the sentence was pronounced, an illusory shattering sound seemed to suddenly sound in Hobert's ears, and at this moment he felt that his physical and spiritual qualities had been sublimated.

The "lawyer" potion was thoroughly digested.
