Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor
Chapter 85 Attack of Hobert
At around nine o'clock in the morning, with a young judge in his twenties and seventies sitting on the bench, the Bruce intentional homicide case officially opened.
Hobert felt the pressure on the judge. He suspected that the judge was a real "judge" and that he came to the court just to act.
The prosecutor spoke first and stated Bruce’s charges: “…the defendant threw approximately 8 pounds of explosives into Mr. Wyant’s yard.
“Before the trial, I asked professionals that 8 pounds of gunpowder was enough to blow up Mr. Wyant’s house, destroying his family in their sleep.
“In addition, the huge explosion can also affect Mr. Wyant’s neighbors, causing them varying degrees of injury, and even trigger a fire, causing more casualties.
"Your Honor, we believe that the defendant's behavior has seriously affected the personal and property safety of dozens of citizens, and is a typical crime of explosion and intentional homicide!
"This is the end of our speech."
The judge said: "Now let the defendant's lawyer speak."
Hobert, who was wearing a black lawyer's uniform and a wig, stood up and said: "Dear Judge, ladies and gentlemen, I never thought that the prosecutor could make such a ridiculous conclusion!"
As soon as these words came out, the relatives of the Wyant family in the gallery immediately became agitated, and some even cursed in a low voice.
The judge said to Hobert: "Defendant's lawyer, please pay attention to your words."
"Your Honor, what I said is true." Hobert said: "The evidence provided by the prosecutor is on the table in front of you. I believe the prosecutor has already determined that the fuse was made of paper. Even if it was ignited, it would be difficult to burn the bomb, and the fuse was not connected to the gunpowder, but was just glued to the outside of the bomb.
"Everyone, can such a bomb detonate? No matter how powerful the gunpowder is, this bomb will not explode at all!
“The key point is that Mr. Bruce did not light the fuse at all, which means that he did not commit any specific criminal act subjectively, nor did he use the gunpowder as a bomb.
"I need to remind the prosecutor that the crime of explosion is a specific dangerous crime. Unless the plaintiff provides evidence to prove that the bomb will definitely be detonated, or Mr. Bruce has subjective detonation behavior, the prosecutor's accusation is not specific enough and the crime of explosion will not be established!
"Since the crime of explosion is not established, the crime of intentional homicide is also not established. So I think the prosecutor's conclusion is very ridiculous!"
The audience immediately erupted with curses from Wyant's family and friends, and boos and cheers from Bruce's friends and family.
The judge hammered his gavel lightly: "Quiet! Defendant's lawyer, do you have anything else to say?"
After everyone calmed down, Hobert said: "Your Honor, our speech is over."
Then the prosecutor spoke. He continued to describe the dangers of explosives and their instability. He still believed that these explosives posed a threat to the Wyant family's personal property.
It was Hobert's turn to speak. He smiled and said: "Your Honor, prosecutor, should we do an investigative experiment and throw this evidence at me to see if I will be killed?"
Hobert firmly grasped the loophole in the characterization of the crime of explosion, forcing the prosecutor to change his strategy: "Your honor, it is likely that the defendant committed a crime of passion, so he did not properly dispose of the fuse of the bomb. But the defendant said to Wynn The moment Mr. Te threw the bomb in his yard, he had committed the crime of intentional injury!"
This is a "defense line" of abandoning prosecution for the crime of explosion and instead sticking to the crime of intentional homicide.
"Prosecutor, we might as well make this assumption." Hobert said: "I shouted at you, 'I'm going to kill you,' and then threw an unloaded pistol at you. Do you also think that I Is this intentional homicide?
"Mr. Bruce may have resentment against the Wyant family, but he did not take effective action. Guys, when did you have to face more than 20 years in prison for having resentment against someone?"
(If convicted of intentional homicide, Bruce would face at least 20 years in prison.)
Hobert asked the prosecutor: "Are you trying to deprive people of their right to have emotions? Even demons and evil gods are not so cruel, why would you do this?"
Hobert's wonderful thought experiment and defense drew applause and cheers from the gallery.
The prosecutor gradually became unable to withstand Hobert's "offensive": "Defendant's lawyer, please don't quibble. The defendant resented the Wyant family and threw bombs at them. The causal relationship is established. This is an indisputable fact.
"Does the defendant's lawyer think that someone is not guilty of throwing a bomb at your home?"
"Guilty, of course guilty," Hobert said.
Everyone was a little surprised by this answer, and some even exclaimed.
However, Hobert continued: "Mr. Bruce's crime is to purchase and possess dangerous products. According to relevant laws, he should be punished with a fine of 10 pounds to 30 pounds and a detention of not less than 15 days but not more than three months.
"As for throwing bombs at the Wyant family, it is a completely false accusation! It cannot be called a bomb at all. Mr. Bruce has no intention to kill at all, and it does not constitute intentional homicide!"
At this point in the trial, Hobert's innocence defense was basically successful, and the prosecutor could no longer launch an effective "offensive" in subsequent defenses.
In the spectator seats, Bruce's relatives and friends gradually had smiles on their faces, while Wyant's family and friends gradually became solemn.
When making his final statement, Hobert said: "Your Honor, this case seems to be an argument about a model bomb, but in fact it means that the error tolerance rate of Backlund citizens is getting lower and lower. If My client was really arrested and imprisoned just for a prank, and the open and inclusive spirit of the Loen Kingdom will be severely affected!"
The judge was moved after hearing these words, and finally came the sentence: "The prosecutor did not provide enough evidence to prove the defendant's murderous intention, and did not form a specific conclusion of dangerous crime. This court ruled that the prosecutor's two claims The charges of explosion and intentional homicide were not established.
"But because the defendant purchased and possessed dangerous goods, and the circumstances were serious and he had the tendency to harm others, he was fined 30 pounds and detained for three months!"
Bruce's family and friends were relieved. A fine of 30 pounds was not much for them, and three months was not a long time. This sentence was much stronger than the conviction of intentional homicide.
Wyant, who was on the plaintiff's bench, was not satisfied with the result and shouted loudly that he wanted to appeal. The judge ignored Wyant. He put away his documents and left the bench slowly.
At this time, Hobert was in a very strange state. The judge's verdict just now seemed to be a constant feedback of Hobert's use of the law and the loopholes in the plaintiff's request.
When the sentence was pronounced, Hobert seemed to suddenly hear an illusory shattering sound in his ears. At this moment, he felt that his body and spirit had been sublimated.
The "lawyer" potion was completely digested.
