Chapter 2262

At this moment of the court session, the entire Federation seemed to have paused for a while because of this moment.

Many people put down their work and came to the TV.

The entire trial process will be broadcast live or broadcast to the outside world. For most people, they probably only know that there is such a thing, but they don't know more details.

This time is their chance to learn more.

In the statement made by Jaina's attorney, more details were disclosed.

To a certain extent, the federal judiciary is an idealistic metaphysics, and it does not judge completely according to the so-called legal clauses or evidence.

Just like a murder case, maybe the murderer really killed someone, but the jury didn't think he was at fault, or didn't think his killing was wrong, then he could be acquitted.

In the trial of a non-homicide case, if the judge thinks that you are doing the right thing, or that you are right, then no matter how serious your matter is, there will be no problem.

The terms of the law and moral constraints are only used as a reference for sentencing. As for whether the crime is established, it has an impact, but not much.

In such an environment, the more details you add, the more persuasive you will be.

At least it is difficult for a liar to grasp every detail. Only those who have really experienced what happened can grasp these.

More details can impress the justices and let the justices adopt their rhetoric.

After a series of statements, the judge pinched the bridge of his nose.

This case is not easy to try, he sighed silently, then put on his glasses again, and looked at the materials in front of him.

There are many details added this time, and the logic is self-consistent, which makes sense.

The judge looked at it for a while, then looked at the dock, and the defendant's lawyer Dai Lu put forward a different view.

"My lord, according to the confession and evidence provided by my client... the colonel, I think there are some discrepancies between what Ms. Jaina said and what actually happened."

"I have some questions I want to ask Ms. Jaina."

The justice nodded, and the military lawyer opened the document in his hand and asked, "You said my client raped you in the bathroom for the first time, can I ask how he did it?"

Jaina's lawyer protested that such questions would obviously hurt Jaina's mental state and her personality.

However, the military lawyer believes that when Jaina stated this part of the content, she did not fully explain it. She has missing parts and statements that are easy to be misled.

The justice originally agreed with the protest, but such an obviously humiliating question was inappropriate to raise in court.

But this case is complicated because that's basically what it's about.

Either by one person, or by a group of people, or by a group of people who hurt and violated at the same time.

If everything is protested and nothing can be said, the case will basically not go to trial.

Unlike ordinary infringement cases, there are physical evidence, or other direct or indirect witnesses. There are very few physical evidences here, and there is no witnesses at all.

If the defendant does not count.

So the justice did not immediately give his opinion, but looked at Jaina, "You can refuse to answer, this is your right."

He left the final decision to Jaina.

Jaina didn't hesitate, "I'm willing to answer."

The justice nodded slightly, "The protest is valid, but the plaintiff is willing to answer your questions. Pay attention to the way you ask questions, sir."

Jaina's lawyer looked very unhappy, but all this was actually expected, and they had expected it a long time ago.

Jaina recalled for a moment, then began to narrate.

The federal army allows female soldiers to join the army for a short period of time, so short that they have no time to build some facilities related to the lives of female soldiers, such as bathrooms.

Generally, male soldiers use it first, and then female soldiers use it later. There is no way to do this.

The bathrooms in the military are not like the women's bathrooms in other facilities, with separate cubicles and doors that close or have curtains.

The entire bathroom is a shower that discharges water, and there is a foot pedal on the floor.

Step on one foot, and water will come out.

Once released, the water stops.

Other than that, it was shiny from beginning to end.

Gianna said she was penalized for some extra workouts that day, finishing after personal wash time.

At that time, she was covered in half-dried muddy water, and she carried her clothes into the bathroom.

There is no one in the bathroom, and at that time, there will be no one.

After all, there is discipline in the army, and there are rules for when and what to do.

Although the discipline of the federal army is not so strict, everyone still abides by the rules that should be followed.

She went in and nobody was there, and started to take a shower.

At this time, the officer suddenly walked in and walked to her side naked.

She tried to leave, but was stopped, and then he used some strong tactics, pinning her against the wall.

"What do you mean by 'tough means'?" The military lawyer seemed to be looking for such unpleasant questions to ask.

There were also some suppressed cursing voices in the auditorium at the scene, which seemed to be cursing his character and morality, but he pretended not to hear it.

"He used violence and choked me," Gianna replied.

The military lawyer asked again, "Did you resist?"

Jaina nodded yes, "I resisted."

"How long have you resisted?"

"About... a few minutes."

"An off-topic question, is your military training qualified?"

"qualified!"

"Are you awake during this process, or are you in a coma?"

"I'm always awake."

"But he raped you anyway?"

Jaina nodded again. "That's it."

Immediately afterwards, the military lawyer increased his voice, "You are lying!"

"You are a soldier who has undergone formal military training. If you continue to resist, I believe no one can force you to give up resistance so easily."

"It's not an easy and quick fix, it requires some special postures that are not easy to maintain."

"Once there's resistance, it can't be done."

"You're able to stay sober and go through a relatively long period of being violated, which sounds like a forced explanation."

Then the military lawyer presented some materials, which introduced that a female soldier who had received military training and passed the grades was not so easy to be subdued.

At the same time, the lawyer himself performed the performance in the form of the victim himself.

In the film, when he is conscious, he uses various methods to prevent the process of this violation from starting smoothly, let alone completing it.

He used this as a reason to think that Jaina was lying, and gave another explanation.

"My client actually arrived at the bathroom earlier, and he found that Ms. Gianna didn't mind sharing the same bathroom with him, and she didn't shy away from the situation."

"Thinking it was an 'invitation' and some of the physical contact he then attempted was mistaken for violence."

"If Ms. Jaina keeps resisting and struggling, I believe my client will not be able to commit specific criminal acts while she remains awake..."

The justice frowned and turned to look at Gianna's attorney, who also stood up at this time.

"I protest, Your Honor."

The judge nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"We all know that the military is a special environment, with a strict hierarchy between superiors and subordinates."

"And please note that although Ms. Jaina has completed military training, she has no relevant military experience or more social experience before that."

"She was 19 when officers grabbed her by the neck and tried to rape her in a closed environment."

"A 19-year-old girl cannot make appropriate actions at such an age and in such an environment. Her giving up resistance due to violence, fear, and fear of being hurt does not mean that she is cooperating with the suspect's violation."

"She just made the most suitable action in the face of danger and avoided more serious injuries!"

"On the contrary, the defendant... the colonel deliberately made things difficult for Ms. Gianna on that day, forcing her to enter the bathroom alone, and then threatened to have a relationship through violence and intimidation."

"This is obviously a premeditated criminal act. He may have tried before this, or planned with premeditated and subjective criminal intent..."

"And Ms. Jaina is not the only victim who has the same experience here!"

The judge nodded, "The protest is valid."

The officer's lawyer smiled and didn't care. His purpose was not to exonerate several officers, but to defeat the psychological defense of all the plaintiffs.

Peleus and the others have invited a team of lawyers with top federal rankings through the military-industrial group behind them.

After discussion, the legal team believed that it was unlikely to be exonerated, but they provided another hypothesis.

If the defendant's psychological endurance is not enough for them to testify in court, or even take the initiative to withdraw the charges, then the face of the military will be much better.

Therefore, the defense plan they formulated was to do everything possible to defeat the psychological defense of these plaintiffs.

The question stopped there, and he began to search for other testimonials, asking Jaina to recount the humiliating process.

She and her lawyer were even asked to show various picture evidence in court, some of which involved private parts.

If the display is not complete, it will have no effect.

If all of them are displayed, it will almost be like standing in front of the whole world!

This is why Jaina's lawyer asked her to appear in court first. She must set a strong example for the ladies behind!

If she fell down, the other people behind might not be able to withstand such a great psychological pressure.

But in turn, if she holds on, those ladies behind will have a force to support them to continue to fight against the evil federal army!
