Chapter 157 Public opinion

"I would like to ask Mr. Meseski whether you acted maliciously and intentionally intended to cause psychological harm to others in these five incidents."

"Absolutely not. The first two times, I deliberately placed them at the main entrance of the government agency. Someone would definitely find and deal with them in the morning. The third time, I only placed a fake bomb filled with black powder at the station. The fourth and fifth times were at the station respectively.

Putting it in mailboxes and toilet cisterns will never hurt anyone."

Meseski's words are still a bit unclear, probably due to the leakage in his teeth.

"Why do you want to cause so many incidents?" Jones asked.

"Justice, I need someone to help me get justice."

"How could a good technician be pushed to this point?"

"The company, the mayor and the police. When our mine suffered a mining disaster in March, the general manager not only rescued Momojiji, but all our brothers in the mine died. He also continued construction during a heavy rainstorm and did not regard us Lifu immigrants as his own.

, even the compensation standards are different.”

Meseski mentioned that tears began to form in his eyes.

"It has something to do with government officials and the police."

The core issue was revealed, and everyone in the room became quiet.

"I reported it to the superiors, but not only did it yield no results, I was threatened by Boyle to shut up. I wrote about the Rio Tinto scandal to the boss behind it, Count Duy, to officials at all levels of the city government, and to

City Police Department. Every time I sent a letter, nothing happened. I realized that no one would care about me unless I took some action."

"Click, click, click." At this point, the reporters in the gallery realized that they had caught big news this time, and they all started taking pictures of Meseski.

"So subjectively you had no intention to make a bomb to harm anyone, and objectively the explosives you made did not cause harm to anyone. Based on the above reasons, we denied the crime of explosion in court."

"Bah bang bang." Applause erupted from the scene.

"Objection, this is sophistry. The crime of explosion is objectively to plant a bomb, and the explosion endangers public safety. It doesn't matter whether the suspect subjectively wants to hurt others."

There are still two brushes, so the opponent didn't get in. Annick thought as he looked at the fat Peng Pei.

"We put forward an explanation that it is true that the first two explosives did not detonate, but the key is the last three incidents. Although these three explosions, the power was just a larger firecracker. Does the prosecution have evidence to prove the last three incidents?

It’s really hurtful.” Lawyer Jones replied skillfully.

"Well, we have physical evidence. Your Honor, we apply to present the physical evidence."

"allow."

Several staff members pulled a small cart and placed the remains of three bombs and the broken mailbox on it.

"This is the physical evidence left at the scene. The remains of the bomb and the damage to the mailbox show that these bombs are definitely not as powerful as large firecrackers."

"Defense, what's your explanation?" The judge turned to Jones and the others.

"Pfft! The wreckage in front of Mr. Judge doesn't mean anything. Our country's existing laws do not state that only black powder is allowed to be used in firecrackers, not explosives. The definition of the crime of explosion is as follows: it must cause harm to public safety and personnel.

In order to be found guilty, Mr. Meseski's behavior is at best the crime of damaging public property, not the crime of explosion."

Faced with Jones's sophistry, Peng Pei was a little annoyed, and then moved on to the second point, illegal trading of explosives.

"Then number two, don't deny that Type A explosives were found at Meseski's house."

"I won't deny it, but do you have evidence to prove that Mr. Meseski bought and sold Type A explosives?" Jones seemed to have dug a hole and was waiting for Pengpei to jump into it.

"How else could it have come from if it wasn't bought?"

"Make your own explosives. Meseski is a former military technician and a demolition team leader at Rio Tinto. He can make his own explosives."

"That's not like getting explosives."

Upon hearing this, Annick felt that the prosecutor had failed completely.

"Mr. Prosecutor, you know that the raw materials for explosives A are sold legally, right? Nitric acid and glycerin are legal commodities. Mr. Meseski's behavior is at best called self-explosion without permission. I have checked the charges.

Fifteen days' detention and a fine of £10."

Jones made a mistake in calculating the explosives he bought from the underground black market. It is impossible for the police to produce evidence of his purchase. In this way, even if the police and prosecutors win, the explosives can be easily purchased in the underground market, which will affect social security.

It seems that the police also lost a lot.

"Impossible, how can this bomber get a light sentence?" Peng Pei slumped in his seat. His future would definitely be ruined as a result.

"The law is not omnipotent, and this is the case in front of Mr. Meseski. He was a kind-hearted man who did not get justice after exhausting all legal means, and was forced to take up arms to fight for himself. What was wrong was that he was not responsible for Rio Tinto.

They are the upper class who regard the immigrants at the bottom as nothing.”

Jones appeared to begin his victory speech.

"When the law cannot take care of the situation, our Mr. Meseski can only comply with the public opinion. He represents the public opinion of more than 200 Leaf immigrants in the court and the public opinion of more than 20,000 Leaf immigrants. We are not asking for violence.

Take away the safety of the people of the Kingdom of Bruguet, but make your own voice heard. The three explosions are a roar of injustice, a roar of anger against people like Count Duy who have no regard for human life."

"Pah, pah, pah, pah!" Warm applause erupted from the scene. Reporters from major newspapers also quickly took note of Jones's speech.

"My client does not hope to be acquitted, but just hopes to get a merciful verdict. And I hope that all reporters here will have the courage to expose the ugliness of Rio Tinto and the contempt of the top. But we still hope to have a happy ending for everyone.

, we therefore drop the charge that Sergeant Annick willfully assaulted Mr. Meseski.”

"What a good lawyer."

"I decided to study law and become a just person."

"Today's title should be called Just Lawyers Victory over Unscrupulous Prosecutors."

There was a commotion in the auditorium. Sister Irena felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know what it was.

"Quiet, does the prosecutor have anything else to ask?"

Peng Pei had collapsed on the seat and seemed speechless.

"Then this court will pronounce the verdict." When the chief justice was about to pronounce the verdict, Annick's laughter interrupted him.

"Hahahaha, public opinion, justice, revenge, and cry. Mr. Jones, you packaged it all very well, but it's a pity that you fell one step short in the end."

"That step? I don't think I'm packaging." Jones said a little confused.

"Your Honor, please allow me, the prosecutor's witness, to speak. I want to present a new piece of physical evidence that is sufficient to prove that the suspect, Mr. Meseski, is a bombing criminal. In addition, I want to apply to speak as an independent representative."

The three judges discussed the meeting. The old judge spoke.

"New evidence is allowed as long as the prosecution allows you to speak on their behalf."

When Peng Pei heard this, he sat up and was about to stop the wanton policeman from speaking, but he still gave up after seeing Annick looking at him with a vicious look.
