Then, Fred's face darkened, and he immediately called some witnesses to testify.
"At that time, I was in the queue to meet the president. Suddenly a gunshot rang out. I was horrified and saw that the president had been shot in the head. His eyes were confused and he was looking toward the top of the hall. I followed his eyes.
, I saw this Oriental man jumping down from the hall in a panic. As soon as he jumped down, he ran away in a hurry. He is the murderer! I don’t know why this Oriental man wanted to kill the president and why he was so angry at him.
Do we Americans have such great hatred?" One of the witnesses pointed at Liu Zhenming, becoming more and more excited as he spoke, and finally burst into tears.
The audience in the gallery also had sad faces, and some Americans even started sobbing softly along with him.
"This inhumane yellow man must have a grudge to assassinate our president because of the Kirrey Act."
In 1892, the Geary Act extended the Anti-Chinese Act for ten years.
"Yes, these dirty Chinese, even though they have cut off their braids, will never be able to receive the baptism of the Lord."
At this time, American ethical and moral standards were based on Christianity. The Chinese were considered the least likely race to be Americanized because of their different beliefs and living customs.
The only country that can make such a high-sounding statement about an anti-racial bill is the United States. Liu Zhenming has been watching with cold eyes!
When all the witnesses finished testifying, the presiding judge Fred looked at Liu Zhenming again with his cloudy old eyes.
"What else do you have to defend? Why don't you plead guilty?" Fred snorted and asked coldly.
Liu Zhenming raised his head and laughed suddenly: "Haha, the United States is really a country founded on 'freedom and equality'. I really see a lot of fairness here. Giorgos treated McKinley in front of everyone.
Mr. McKinley shot, but his defense lawyer believed that he was an attempted murder. But just because I am a yellow race, just because of my identity, you think I am the murderer of Mr. McKinley. Is there any direct evidence?
Did I assassinate Mr. McKinley?"
Liu Zhenming looked around, and finally looked at the new President of the United States, Roosevelt, who was sitting there steadily with his sharp eyes.
Liu Zhenming stared at him and said: "No, there is no direct evidence, but you have determined that I did this. Fa**, who do you have to defend yourself? You are just a group of self-righteous, arrogant, and arrogant people.
Just racist white people who think they are God.”
Is this a scolding of Roosevelt? In order to complete the task and not give the Americans a chance to intervene, Liu Zhenming did not stop and continued to curse: "Especially you, Mr. Roosevelt, the new President of the United States, you are indifferent and selfish.
, you watch the people in the court trampling on the American spirit of freedom and equality without saying a word. You are a hypocritical politician and a self-righteous war maniac. You self-righteously ride an old horse and lead a group of Western cowboys who kill and set fire.
You went to Cuba to massacre the Spaniards. You claimed to fight for the Cuban people, but in the end you, the United States, occupied Cuba and made Cuba your colony."
The expression on Roosevelt's face became more and more exciting. During the Spanish-American War, he recruited a volunteer cavalry brigade to fight in Cuba. This had always been something he was quite proud of. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of this Chinese, he
It became a symbol of war madness.
Everyone in the courtroom was stunned for a while by Liu Zhenming's angry scolding before they finally came to their senses.
Of course they were angry and funny.
After Liu Zhenming finished speaking, he licked his mouth with unfinished content. Then, without giving Roosevelt a chance to refute, he quickly turned his head and said to the presiding judge, Fred: "Actually, the truth of the day is this.
There was a tall white gentleman who gave me ten cents and asked me to go with him to that place, anyway, where Mr. McKinley was assassinated. You know, because of your American prejudices, it was difficult for me to live in the United States.
Get a job.”….
Liu Zhenming then spat and talked endlessly about how difficult his life was in the United States and how he was ostracized. When the people in the court couldn't bear it anymore and Fred was about to interrupt him, Liu Zhenming changed his words.
, continued: "So, I took the ten cents, and then, at his request, I hid in the hall. Then, I heard a gunshot. I was shocked and jumped down from above.
Everyone knows what happened next, so I didn’t kill anyone at all, I was wrongly accused, and I ask the U.S. judicial authorities to clear my name and prove that the U.S. is a country of freedom and equality."
After Liu Zhenming finished speaking, he looked seriously at the presiding judge Fred.
As an important witness, Foster said coldly before Fred could speak: "This Chinese is really lying and full of nonsense. At that time, as soon as the gunshot rang out, I looked over
Above, I saw the Chinese man lying down at the shooting position, and then running away in a panic. This murderer was cruel, and he also tried to hurt other people. Fortunately, I was hit in time, which saved us from more attacks.
Big disaster."
Liu Zhenming looked at him without showing any signs of weakness and asked angrily: "Did you see me shoot? Where is my gun now?"
Foster took a deep breath and replied slowly: "I saw you put the gun away and threw it in the corner of the hall. Fortunately, we have recovered the gun."
Foster raised his hand, and two police officers walked in with a rifle and placed it on the evidence location.
Come on, you idiot, you haven't shown up these days, so you went to fabricate evidence.
Liu Zhenming really thought he saw him just now. When the gun was delivered, Liu Zhenming knew that the other party was just like him, and he was talking nonsense.
But obviously, the American public will choose to believe this American lieutenant colonel and regard his words as sophistry.
"Cunning Easterner, no matter how you argue, the fact that you killed the president is unquestionable. Everything shows that you are the assassin. You must be responsible for everything you have done. You are guilty of first-degree murder."
, I implore you to electrocute this extremely dangerous yellow man in court." Contempt flashed through Foster's eyes, yellow race people, don't forget that this is the territory of the Americans, not your Qing country.
The so-called electrocution means execution by electric chair.
Both the U.S. authorities and Foster need to identify the murderer as soon as possible, and then let the murderer get the punishment he deserves, so as to calm the anger of the American people as soon as possible.
The presiding officer and the jury did not express any doubts about the authenticity of the evidence.
"Jury, have you made a verdict?" The presiding judge Fred looked at each of the jurors with a serious face.
"Mr. Judge!" One person in the jury started fighting and bowed slightly to Fred: "The jury unanimously found that the defendant was guilty. Killing Mr. President was first-degree murder and should be punished with the death penalty!"
