Chapter 266 Notarization
Knicks didn't know that there were two whispering compatriots on Earth in the square who were preparing to refute him, so they were vigorously promoting their ideas.

"Second, the theoretical basis for the possibility of the perpetrator being sentenced to death in this case is that no one has the right to infringe on the right to life of others."

"However, because the perpetrator intentionally endangers public safety and causes the death of others, so we sentence the perpetrator to death, do we also commit intentional homicide? Does it destroy the theoretical basis that humans have no right to deprive others of their lives?"

"Third, judging from the actual effect of the abolition of the death penalty, the abolition of the death penalty will not lead to a sharp rise in crime, which shows that the death penalty is not necessary."

"Fourth, for criminals, the greatest punishment is not deprivation of their right to life, but their right to freedom."

"In fact, as long as the time spent in prison exceeds 15 years, then the person basically loses the ability to survive in society."

"More importantly, long-term prison life will cause irreparable mental damage. So, we don't have to implement the death penalty for criminals at all."

"The fifth ground is irrelevant to the present case, but I shall state it nonetheless."

"There will always be loopholes in the judicial system itself. Moreover, in the process of investigation and trial, innocent people may be wronged for subjective or objective reasons."

"In some cases, the evidence proving the innocence of innocent people may not be discovered until more than ten or twenty years later, but the innocent people who have been wronged have already been sentenced to death, so it is irreversible."

"The abolition of the death penalty can give some convicted people the hope of being acquitted, and at least give justice a chance."

After Nix finished speaking, there was silence in the square.

The people of the Three Maps Kingdom have feudal concepts, so they don't accept the idea of ​​abolishing the death penalty.The reason for keeping silent is because they don't know how to refute.

The first reason Nix said involves God.Although the people of Santu Kingdom are accustomed to praying to gods, they do not understand them.So for the first reason, the people were all at a loss.

As for the other reasons, they are the product of the development of social civilization to a certain stage.

For example, the first European country on earth that existed for four months abolished the death penalty in 1849.At this time, Europe had entered capitalism.

It will take more than 100 years for countries with relatively greater influence to abolish the death penalty.

This is the first time for Dyson people to come into contact with the concepts of the capitalist era.Although they were deeply shocked, it was difficult for them to understand, so naturally they didn't know how to refute.

At this time Luo Yi raised his hand to request to speak.

After getting permission, Luo Yi talked freely.

"Mr. Nix, the world was created by God, whether it is mountains, rivers, rivers or flowers, plants, insects and fish, including human beings."

"Your rationale is that since human life is endowed by God, no person or institution has the right to take another's life. Right?"

Luo Yi doesn't believe in God, but he didn't debate with Nix whether God exists.

Firstly, there is no point in debating this topic with believers. Secondly, although Luo Yi himself does not believe in God, he does not think that having faith is a bad thing. After all, normal belief can soothe people's hearts and curb people's evil thoughts.

Nix nodded.

"good."

Luo Yi asked again: "Don't talk about mountains, rivers, seas and rivers. The life of flowers, plants, insects and fish is also given by God. Why can human beings deprive flowers, plants, insects and fish of their lives? Has God's permission been obtained?"

Nix couldn't help but argue: "...Man is the spirit of all things, and he is different from other creatures."

Luo Yi pressed forward step by step.

"God told you or told some people that man is the spirit of creation, so authorized man can deprive other creatures of life?"

Nix probably had limited knowledge of theology, so he tightly shut his mouth at this moment.

Luo Yi continued to refute.

"Let's talk about your second reason. You said that the perpetrators should be convicted. The theoretical basis is that no one has the right to infringe on the right to life of others."

"But you're wrong."

"The rationale for convicting the perpetrators is that no one has the right to take away the right to life of another when they are not legally authorized to do so."

"Obtaining legal authorization, such as self-defense against the assailant, obviously has the right. Another example is that soldiers resisting aggression, killing the intruder, obviously also obtain legal authorization."

"If according to your erroneous theory, no one has the right to infringe on the right to life of others, then self-defense may be a crime, and fighters who kill the enemy heroically need to be punished by law afterwards?"

Seeing that Nix still kept his mouth shut, Luo Yi continued to refute his other reasons.

"You also said that judging from the actual effect of the abolition of the death penalty, the abolition of the death penalty will not lead to a sharp rise in crime, which shows that the death penalty is not necessary."

"Yet 'Abolition of the death penalty will not lead to a sharp increase in crime' is just correct bullshit."

"In criminal acts, those who can meet the death penalty standard are only a very small number."

"The abolition of the death penalty has reduced criminals' fear of punishment, and the number of vicious crimes that were previously punishable by the death penalty account for a very small proportion of all crimes."

"But if you judge whether something should be done or not based on the proportion, then I ask you, does the power consumption saved by turning off the lights account for a large proportion of the total power consumption? If the proportion is insignificant, is it right? Isn't it necessary?"

"Your fourth reason is: For criminals, the greatest punishment is not deprivation of their right to life, but their right to freedom."

"However, this reason is a complete lie. If the deprivation of liberty is more painful to the criminal than the deprivation of life, then according to the biological instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, criminals must find ways to commit suicide."

"What's more, from a humanitarian point of view, if depriving criminals of their liberty is more painful than depriving their lives, why not abolish longer sentences and replace them with the death penalty?"

"Your fifth reason is even more nonsense. The judicial system is not perfect, and it is a fact that unjust cases can be caused by human or objective reasons. But the reason for canceling it because of imperfection is too nonsensical?"

"Is industry perfect? ​​Industrial pollution harms human life and even causes terminal illness in some people. So why not ban industry on this ground?"

After listening, Nix argued strongly.

"The death penalty is inhumane. Anyway, I am against the death penalty."

Facing a person who expressed his insistence on kindness, Luo Yi showed disdain instead.

“In the legal spirit of various countries, there are provisions that if the victim forgives the perpetrator, the punishment will be reduced.”

"You think the death penalty is cruel and inhuman, and it can only represent yourself. If you want to express kindness, it can only represent yourself."

"In fact, you can do a notarization yourself, declaring that if you are maliciously killed by others, including but not limited to torture, you will forgive the perpetrator, plead for the perpetrator, and ask the judge for a lighter sentence."
