After a short half-hour, the trial began again.
The enthusiastic discussion gradually subsided. Seeing that the five justices were already sitting in their seats, the prosecution and the defendant also returned to their seats one after another. After a short adjournment, the trial began.
"Please both sides continue the debate just now!"
Pullman got up first and walked out.
"It is true that Miss Taotao helped Zhao Zhen purchase some items for medical treatment, build a small network, and manufacture listening equipment. These crimes can indeed be established."
Letty looked at her father with some confusion, Pullman bowed slightly and continued.
"But based on these shopping lists and the results of the subsequent actual detailed investigation by Section 5, it can be confirmed that Taotao purchased the items for Zhao Zhen and only produced the above-mentioned items. These items are indeed criminal items, but in fact these items did not
Any harm caused to the public, so I implore the judges to consider this, Taotao's original intention is based on human feelings."
After Pullman finished speaking, Letty immediately argued.
"But if he doesn't help Zhao Zhen purchase these items, then Zhao Zhen's plan will not be able to proceed smoothly, and there will be no hostage-taking incidents that endanger the city. I think there is no need for us to stay at this stage."
The purpose of Letty's words was very clear. She wanted to convict him as soon as possible and then enter the next stage of debate. The next stage is the most critical.
The city's laws must be changed. The only significance of this case is to promote the city's judicial reform. Only after the incident has settled, can it be implemented.
There has never been a situation like this in the past. After thinking for a moment, Pullman spoke again.
"I hope everyone present here can understand one thing clearly, the meaning of the existence of law. For thousands of years, we humans have gone through a long process of evolution from gathering in groups to having a social structure.
In this process, we gradually gained order from the beginning, and then to the emergence of law. Human beings have been constantly trial and error in this process, and finally we found the law, a relatively fair weapon.
, as an important part of the management methods of human society."
Pullman walked slowly to the middle, raised his hand and stretched out a finger.
"I think you all should be clear that the law is unique. It is more like a cold machine. Human beings can use the rules of this machine to characterize all disputes and crimes that occur in human society. This is
It's the law. We humans have never had absolute justice, because the definition of justice is impartiality. Unfortunately, we humans can only be perfect, but we cannot be emotionless!"
Pullman bowed slightly.
"What I want to explain here is that the law is a judgment system established by mankind in pursuit of a more perfect society, because if this society judges things based on human emotions, the world will be over.
So we have found an effective weapon like the law. Since the law appeared in human society, relative fairness has appeared, but we humans can only handle all disputes based on the law, and we have the final say.
It’s still in our hands.”
Pullman looked at the five justices and bowed again.
"So what I want to explain is that the law is a reasonable tool used by human beings, but sometimes this tool is too cold, so cold that it makes people unable to breathe. This is the most unacceptable fact about the law from ancient times to the present.
, because in history, there have been countless tragedies caused by the imperfection of the law. Many ordinary people probably know the law, because it is a rule, and the terms and conditions have been written very clearly, so there is a
Blind spots: If the imperfection of the law causes unreasonable judgments in the process, it will violate the principle of relative fairness."
After listening, the five justices all agreed with Pullman's remarks, and many people outside the court nodded.
"It has been nearly a century since the establishment of our city, and during this long century, many problems have arisen due to the imperfection of the law. Because we humans are not gods and our thinking has limitations, we cannot
The law is customized to perfection.”
Pullman looked at Hydra who was standing in the aisle. She listened carefully. She just came in and said one thing: her father's murderer was the city's imperfect laws.
After Pullman heard this sentence, he immediately thought of a countermeasure. There was something unreasonable in the judgment of this case, because the law itself is unreasonable, but human beings still need to strictly abide by it.
It is an unreasonable law, so such a judgment violates the principle of relative fairness.
"Here I hope to introduce the Hydera case to illustrate some issues. I hope the justices will allow it."
After getting permission from the justices, Pullman stood on the statement stage and turned on the loudspeaker equipment.
"I believe that everyone is very familiar with the Hydera case. I will not explain the process of the case. This case itself occurred at a time when the contradiction between the city's people and managers had fully intensified. The final result is that everyone is familiar with it.
As you can see, Hydera was unwilling to plead guilty, but was still convicted and sentenced to thirty years in prison. As far as I know, Hydera never wanted to plead guilty once in prison. Obviously, he only needed to plead guilty and admit that he was motivated by
After killing the deceased in anger, he can be paroled and can be released from prison in just a few years. Moreover, the law enforcement department established at that time has not yet ensured his life after he was released from prison, allowing him to continue working in the law enforcement department! But
Hydra is so stubborn that she refuses to admit it even once."
Hydra, who was standing in the aisle at this time, looked at Pullman blankly. She had read all the diaries left by her father, and many of the things were the same as Pullman said.
"What about the trial at the beginning? I hope to seek the opinion of Secretary Le Xiao on the sidelines."
Le Xiao stood up subconsciously, looking at her from all around, and Le Xiao smiled awkwardly.
"What do you want to ask, Attorney Pullman?"
Heathcote on the sidelines probably knew what Pullman wanted to say, including some senior trustees. They all knew what the trial was about.
"Can I tell the truth?"
Le Xiao swallowed, put away her smile and nodded firmly.
"Please tell the truth about this, Attorney Pullman."
Pullman said after bowing to everyone present.
"This judgment was subject to interference at the time, because the overly strict management and various problems in the city had brought the conflict between the management and the people to the point where it was difficult to reconcile. At this point in time, one side was the law enforcement side,
One party was the one making the trouble and could have avoided such a tragedy."
Pullman soon called up a video of a few drunkards who molested women on the street on New Year's Eve. This was the video they recorded on their tenth thought after the incident.
The videos were only available to those with legal qualifications, but now Pullman has released them.
All four people explained the situation at that time, and they were basically the same, because everything that happened that night could not be erased from their memories.
There is a reason why they were so emboldened that after being stopped by Hydera, they dared to beat Hydera directly on the street on his first day of work. The five of them were all related to the management at the time and many businessmen in the area.
Relevant people.
Because of some corruption issues in the management at that time, the order of the city was very chaotic, and everything was opaque. They thought that Hydera would surrender, but Hydera fired without any hesitation, and the first shot hit the deceased.
After touching his leg, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The four people who were willing to be recorded in the video all admitted without exception that some of their testimonies in the Law Hall were false. They were not drunk at all because they had a criminal record and raped women at night.
.
It's just that the previous incident was easily suppressed. They didn't have any criminal records, and the four of them were arrested by Section 5 ten years after the establishment of the Acting Section.
The most severe one was sentenced to 50 years, and the lightest was 38 years. Soon the video ended and Pullman spoke again.
"I think you should be clear that the management regulations before Ms. Alpha established the internal management regulations of the administrative department, the definition of handling such violent incidents was very vague, but after Ms. Alpha established the internal management regulations of the administrative department and the city's
After the amendment of the Trinity Law, cases like Hydera have never happened again."
Pullman cited an example, which was most similar to the Hydera case. When a newly recruited Section 5 officer was assigned to the bottom level, he accidentally got involved in the conflict between two groups of gang members.
In dispute.
Many of the activities done by the two groups were illegal. This officer received many reports from the public, especially the information provided by a certain person, which made the officer feel very nervous, so he planned to report it, but because at that time
The administrative department has not yet been completely established, so some corrupt elements in the management in the past suppressed the matter.
Before Pullman finished speaking, many people present knew what the case was.
As a result, a female friend of this clerk's acquaintance was kidnapped by one of the gang members and suffered inhuman torture. The clerk knew very well that if he did not take the initiative to rush over, this woman would probably never be found again.
Arrived, because the gang members will destroy the body and eliminate all traces.
So this officer took the initiative to cooperate with the members of Section 3 that he had worked with before, rushed into the hiding place of the gang members, annihilated them, and then rescued the woman.
This case was very sensational at the time, and many people have memories of it, because the current section chief of Section 3, Tian Hen, and secretary Xima were involved in this incident, and the staff member of Section 5 is now Section 5.
Secretary Qin Dong, and the kidnapped woman is Lillian, the secretary of Section 2.
"This case also caused an uproar at the time. Some low-level gang members tried their best to smear and cover it up, but in the end all the officers who participated in this operation were innocent, and those gang members who caused problems for no reason
All were arrested, and those management personnel who colluded with the gang members were also eliminated. Therefore, the controversial point in this case at the time was whether the people of the 1189 team went too far and whether there were illegal acts, including Qin Dong acting arbitrarily
Whether the behavior complied with the internal management regulations of the practice department, but soon according to the city’s revised laws and the internal management regulations of the practice department, everyone was innocent.”
After Pullman finished speaking, many people started talking among themselves. After waiting for a few minutes, Pullman spoke.
"The similarity between this case and the Hydra case is that the second-generation management of Hydra era also had similar internal regulations, and the law clearly stated the methods for managers to deal with such matters, which is very clear.
It is a pity that everything was incomplete and incomplete when the Hydera case occurred, and in the final judgment, the five top justices at the time made the judgment!"
Pullman once again brought up a document, which was a judgment from the past paper era. Many people present were shocked and stood up.
