Chapter 176 Death Penalty, Immediate Execution

Dear viewers, this news broadcast is over, thank you for watching.Starting tomorrow, we will start broadcasting at least half an hour of news programs every night at seven o'clock, and the next broadcast will be the public trial of the Death Eaters.

The red ghost will come to power this time, and the reform of the law, especially the trial method, is also an important part of it. The trial method in the magic world in the past was too unreasonable.

The first wave of members of the Red Ghost Society were the wronged prisoners in Bar Azka. Lockhart and Sirius in the Red Ghost Society were both victims of this trial system.

Therefore, the Red Ghost will make drastic reforms to the existing judicial system in the wizarding world by referring to the judicial systems of various countries in the Muggle world.

The first is to establish a public trial system. Trials in the magic world are no longer conducted in private, but open, fair and just trials are adopted. Every trial will be conducted under live broadcast conditions, and video materials will be kept at the same time.

At the same time, the trial system in which dozens of people voted to determine whether they are guilty or not in the magic world will be changed into a trial system that is determined by judges by referring to the law.

The original trial system in the magic world is basically a combination of the ancient Greek "500-member council" and the modern jury system, and the disadvantages are too great.

In many cases, the wizards of the Wizengamot may be elites in other fields, but they may not know the law. At the same time, this kind of trial also values ​​the performance of the person being interrogated. As long as the eloquence is good and can persuade the people present, they can be exonerated .

At the same time, it is very easy to cause corruption and favoritism.If there is only one judge, then everyone will stare at the judge. In an open, fair and just environment, it is difficult for judges to favor one another.However, the trial is very favoritism. Anyway, there are many people, so it is very easy to fish in troubled waters.

In addition, the trial group can easily form an interest group, and the purpose and result of the trial will change from maintaining justice to political struggle.In addition, when there are too many people, it is easy to throw the pot away, and it is easier for a single judge to take responsibility.

In the past, in the interrogation of the magic world, there was a phenomenon that life was determined at the first trial. People who felt wronged, or those who were dissatisfied with the punishment, had no place to appeal. This time, the red ghost will add an appeal link to the trial system.

In addition, in the past, the trial process in the magic world was very rough, and they did not pay attention to evidence. The provisional government of the Red Ghost Society stipulated that there must be convincing evidence before they can be convicted.

Convicting anyone can only be done after the evidence is solid, the suspect confesses after taking Veritaserum, and his memory is checked with a Pensieve.

In addition, the criminal law system in the magic world is extremely rough, and there are actually two kinds of criminal law--imprisonment and death penalty.

Anyone, no matter what the crime, there are only two ways to go, either they are imprisoned in Azkaban or other prisons for an indefinite period of time, or they are directly kissed by dementors and taken away.

This brutal criminal law system obviously cannot meet the criminal needs of many wizards in the magic world, so after this reform, the magic world will reform and expand the penalty system.

The types of punishment have changed from the original detention and death penalty to administrative detention, economic compensation, labor reform, long-term detention and death penalty.Make sure every prisoner gets the punishment he deserves.

In addition, the Azkaban prison was officially abolished, and the dementors no longer served as jailers. The location of the prison was changed to a small island in the UK, and it would be held by Aurors from the Ministry of Magic.The death penalty will also be replaced by a shooting or potion injection instead of a Dementor's kiss.

The above are probably some of the reform measures proposed by the Red Ghost Society in terms of law and justice after it came to power. Although it is many times better than the system in the magic world in the past, it is still very rough.

There is still a long way to go to build the magic world into a rule of law society where there are laws to abide by, laws must be followed, law enforcement must be strictly enforced, and violations must be prosecuted.

The above content did not directly appear in the reform measures, because the public trial meeting immediately will be the best stage to showcase.

Dumbledore, the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, the former review agency of the Ministry of Magic, personally hosted the public trial meeting. This is mainly due to the fact that Dumbledore has great prestige and knows enough about the situation in the magic world.

When Lockhart first recruited the Death Eaters, he mainly recruited the heinous ones, plus some personnel from the Ministry of Magic, it was like a crime encyclopedia, and almost all crimes could be found on them.

Dumbledore relied on his rich experience to judge these people, which can serve as a rough benchmark for future trials in the wizarding world, allowing future grassroots judges to find enough judgment cases.

However, what Lockhart didn't expect was that although Dumbledore's punishment was very prudent, it was also very severe. The first public trial lasted for two hours, and Dumbledore had sentenced more than a dozen people to death, and they were to be executed immediately. .

If it was a past judgment, some people in the magic world would definitely think that the sentence was too heavy, but the effect of this public trial seems to be very good, and there are not many voices of doubt.

There is no way, first of all, the criminal evidence of many Death Eaters and dark wizards is very solid, and secondly, many criminal suspects confessed very happily after taking Veritaserum.

In the end, under the cover of the Pensieve, the criminal facts of many criminal suspects were reproduced.

Today's two-hour trial is coming to an end. The last person to be tried is Bojin Burke. Bojin Burke has committed multiple crimes such as intentional homicide, child trafficking, and participation in terrorist organizations. Dumbledore has repeatedly reviewed The verdict after confirmation is very simple, death penalty!Do it now!
But at this time Bogin Burke suddenly asked: "Dumbledore, you devil, you have sentenced more than a dozen people to death tonight, don't you have any uneasiness in your heart? Your heart is as cold as a stone. Won't it be stressful?"

Dumbledore's answer later became a motto in the hearts of countless wizarding judges in the future.

"It's not me who personally sentenced you to death. I represent the entire British wizarding people, the entire British magic community, and justice and sentenced you to death."

"Only when you are sentenced to death, I feel that I am worthy of the wizarding people and the British magic community. I am just. Why should I have psychological pressure?"

"I won't sentence you to death, I sympathize with people like you, that's why I have psychological pressure!"

Dumbledore's words were upright and his face was sacred and inviolable when he spoke. Borgin Burk did not defend himself anymore, knowing that he had no hope, he chose to accept his fate.
