Most Wanted [Interstellar]

"Silence!" Grotius stood up and tapped the gavel, "All stand up."

He then read the affidavit on behalf of all the judges and called for the presence of both the prosecution and the defense, with Angela and the team of prosecutors coming out first, followed by Alvin and his lawyer.

When Erwin stood in the dock, the shutters of the media rang out, and the reporter sitting next to Shire also started to write. Shire glanced at it and found that it was full of things: pale, haggard, Words like dull expression.

Is it?In fact, the auditorium could not see the defendant's face, and Charles did not hang up the off-site line. He called Chloe: 'Which live broadcast are you watching?Turn around for me too. '

'Ah, do you want to see Alvin?Don't squeeze the yellow hair!Step aside! '

Ciel opened the viewing glasses, and he saw Alvin's face from the live broadcast.

'It's okay, it's not pale and haggard and dull at all, okay? 'He glanced at the reporter next to him contemptuously.

'This is probably a common word used to describe a pervert,' Chloe watched the live broadcast on the commercial vehicle, 'but the state of the lawyer does not seem to be very good, can this person do it? '

'All right,' said Charles, 'he's an old enemy of mine, after all. '

"What old enemy, why haven't I heard of it." Chloe asked Schlieffen.

Schlieffen carefully looked at the person on the live broadcast: "Oh! Charles told me that when he was a grassroots prosecutor in a distant galaxy, there was a lawyer who always had trouble with him. This person is the human rights lawyer he mentioned ! Hey! Is this too coincidental?"

'It's not a coincidence,' Charles smiled, 'how could an opponent I've remembered for so many years be so poor?He is now one of the most famous human rights lawyers in the Federation, so it is reasonable for the Omega Association to choose him. '

At this time, Grotius had read out the rights of both parties, and the trial officially began.

根据流程，安格拉作为公诉人会先宣读罪名并做控方陈述，在这里，安格拉一共提到了四项起诉罪名，分别是：公历7017年6月14日，破坏联合会囚禁设施，盗取c-36J/C型飞船越狱涉及到的盗窃罪和越狱罪。同年6月16日-8月19日入侵雏形机导致大黑洞塌缩，法玛古斯塔失控；同年6月16日-10月27日多次入侵医疗、政府、公共系统；同年11月9日晚十点零九分50秒入侵地下交通系统导致泰坦星地下交通列车脱轨涉及到的危害公共安全罪和恐怖主义罪。

When these charges were mentioned, there was an uproar in the auditorium, and the anger gradually rose.But Alvin's lawyer had a calm expression on his face. These were probably the charges he had expected a long time ago.

After reading the charges, Angela began to show the evidence. The scene was obviously quieter when the evidence was shown, not because of anything else, but because most people couldn't understand what was said in the evidence.

"Ah!" The reporter sitting next to Charles scratched his head, "What are you talking about?"

"Probably because the suspect is a scientist," Charles smiled at him, "Since it was judged to be a hacker intrusion, only programmers can understand the intrusion evidence, right?"

However, the evidence was stinky and long, and Xia Er noticed that most people's eyes were scattered.But as expected, Alvin's lawyer, although his face was tired, had a keen light in his eyes.

Want what he discovers, will he...will find it?

Four or ten minutes later, the evidence was finally presented, and Angela sat back to the prosecution table. Grotius routinely asked the defense lawyer: "Defendant lawyer, do you have any questions about this?"

This is usually just a routine inquiry, and few people raise objections, but this time Alvin's lawyer stood up.

"We consider the evidence invalid."

Angela retorted not weakly: "Then, the defense lawyer, what do you think is invalid in the evidence presented by the prosecutor's office? I would like to ask, do you need us to put the evidence list for you? After all, these are professional terms , it is unlikely that you will remember it after reading it once.”

Hearing this sentence, many audience members laughed, and everyone thought it was just a lawyer's unreasonable trouble.

"Thank you for your kindness, Prosecutor Angela, I don't need you to show the table of contents, because I think all the evidence you have presented is invalid."

As soon as this remark came out, there was almost a sensation at the scene. Even the trial scene full of media and professionals was like this. It is conceivable how angry the ordinary people outside the court were when they heard these words.

"He found it, he found it!" Schlieffen in the business car shook Chloe's shoulders excitedly, "I waited for a while when I left, and I saw Alvin's lawyer return to the waiting room! He Sure enough, he told the lawyer what happened 50 years ago!"

After all, the law is serious, and it is impossible for the prosecutor's office to really disclose the core information to the suspect's lawyer.Even if he wanted to reveal it, the suspect's lawyer would not risk his career to accept it.Some things can only be said by Alvin himself to the lawyer, and some things can only be legal and valid if Alvin himself provides them.

"Please explain your reasons, defense counsel." Grotius remained calm.

"Okay, Mr. Judge," the lawyer said, pointing to a large pile of documents from the prosecutor's office, "these evidences all come from the same department. This department is not the appraisal department of the prosecutor's office. All the evidence is provided by the college association."

"No!" Angela said, "When the prosecutor's office does not have the qualifications for appraisal, it has the right to entrust a qualified institution to conduct appraisal. This procedure is completely legal."

"It is perfectly legal indeed, defense counsel," said Grotius amiably.

"It is indeed legal, but it is unreasonable," the lawyer said calmly. "50 years ago, Alvin Herman was convicted of a first-degree crime. There are traces of evidence to prove that he is guilty. As a result, my agent has not pleaded guilty. Now, it is a similar case, and the source of evidence is still the College Federation. Shouldn’t the authenticity of the evidence be doubted? Isn’t the College Federation Should it be avoided? Shouldn’t a third-party organization be selected for identification and testing?”

Although no one knows the details of what happened 50 years ago, this was the first 'first-degree crime' of mankind after all. The public knew a little bit about it, but they didn't know that it was a secret trial, and they didn't know that Erwin had not pleaded guilty.

"The evidence of the so-called hacking provided by the Federation is all trace identification, but what does all this have to do with Mr. Herman? There is no fingerprint evidence, video evidence or other physical evidence. Do we have to use: only you have this Technology, so you must have done it! Is this logic to judge him guilty?!"

All the people at the trial started discussing, and Charles suppressed a smile: "Here he is, this guy is about to start performing again, you just wait and see." '

Sure enough, Alvin's lawyer suddenly raised his voice: "I defend my attorney, but I defend justice more. What is justice? Justice is to let the law judge crimes fairly. Justice is not urgent for the sake of safety. Sentence a would-be saboteur to death! Sentencing Alvin Herman will end the catastrophe? What if he is not the real murderer? If you kill him and the terrorist attacks continue, then we have to How will you face the next trial?"

"Objection!" Angela stood up and said, "What the defendant's lawyer said has nothing to do with this case!"

"The objection is valid," said Grotius. "Attention the defendant's counsel."

Having said that, the atmosphere of the trial scene has obviously undergone some subtle changes.

'Have you realized it?It's a headache arguing with this baby,' Charles said to Chloe outside the field, "so Angela doesn't have to deliberately put water on it, as long as he catches an opening, it's really hard to say who will win if you really have to argue." '

Next is the defense lawyer’s statement. The content of the statement is very concise. Although the spaceship that Irwin stole when he escaped from prison has not been found yet, the lawyer admitted the fact of the theft because of the record of departure and the first-hand statement of the police interrogating Irwin. , but denied other charges.During the statement, the Prosecutor's Office interrupted once and asked for the suspect's alibi, but Erwin's lawyer rejected it because he escaped alone and no one else participated in the whole escape.

When Erwin's lawyer sat down, the reporter next to Shire was confused: "He means that Erwin can only be convicted of theft at most? Is this just a joke?"

But this is not a joke. The law pays attention to the chain of evidence. If there is any doubt about the fact that the College Federation provides evidence, then only the crime of theft can be convicted.

"The people in the prosecutor's office are really useless!" The reporter scoffed at the result.

Charles ignored him, as this was clearly an outsider's assessment.Whether the Prosecutor's Office is a waste or not is unknown to others, but does Grotius himself have no idea?A week's time!There is no organization other than the Federation that can give such a complicated identification report!

Of course, the lawyers will not know the evidence that the procuratorate will present in advance. What is going to be tested today is the presence of the lawyers. What Angela did was to deliberately make her flaws obvious when presenting the evidence.This was not negligence, and even if Grotius was dissatisfied with it, there was no reason to reprimand the prosecutor or ask for a replacement.

So now the question is, should the trial be postponed?

Angela looked at the judge's bench. She thought Grotius would be angry, but she didn't expect his expression to be extremely calm.

Then...you have no choice but to continue to exert pressure.

Angela asked to speak.

"The prosecution speaks," Grotius agreed.

"First of all, what we need to state is that if it complies with the law, cases that are improperly tried may not be tried. Although there was no public trial 50 years ago, the procedures were all legal and compliant," she picked up a document bag and deliberately showed it to the media. The camera said, "This is the trial materials from 50 years ago, please review the judge."

After the documents were handed in, Angela asked Alvin's lawyer in a pretentious manner: "Then, I would like to ask the defense lawyer, since it is not a public trial, why do you suspect that the identification materials provided by the federation are not in compliance with the regulations? What is your reason? What kind of opportunity is there to suspect that the Federation is nostalgic for nostalgia, favoritism and fraud in this appraisal center?"

Finally, it came to what happened 50 years ago. Charles was sitting in the back row, and he saw Planck, who was sitting in the front row, move his shoulders unnaturally.

"Mr. Herman told me that." Alvin's lawyer said righteously.

At this time, everyone's attention was shifted to Erwin, and it was only then that everyone remembered that the suspect who had not said a word until now was the focus of today.

Alvin didn't look at anyone else at the moment, he just looked at Grotius.

The air seemed quiet for a second.

Then everyone heard Alvin say, "Yes."

The copy of the evidence that Schlieffen gave him is in his hands. As long as he can use this to demand a statement, the truth of the case 50 years ago will be revealed. Who will trust the discredited college association?All of this today, be it the law or the public, probably can be viewed in a truly fair and rational way, right?

Charles pursed his lips nervously. He looked at Angra, but found that Angra didn't look at Irwin at all. She seemed to be staring at Grotius closely.

Grotius?

Charles followed her gaze, and then he couldn't help shivering.Because he also saw that there was no trace of tension on Grotius' face, and his trademark kind smile hadn't changed at all.

"Erwin Herman, do you plead guilty?" Grotius asked suddenly.

Angela's heart rose to her throat, and she glanced at Alvin's lawyer, and her face turned pale when she saw him.

That's right, the basic arguments of the prosecution and the defense are now over, and as the presiding judge, he can indeed ask such questions now.But why did he ask that?Everything has just begun, so which suspect will plead guilty at this time? !

"Yes, I plead guilty," said Alvin, with no emotion in his tone.

Grotius repeated the question: "Erwin Herman, did you plead guilty to all the four major crimes that the prosecutor's office charged you just now?"

"Yes," Alvin replied coldly, "I confess all my sins."

A determined smile flashed across Grotius's face, and then he knocked down the gavel:

"After the collegiate panel concludes the collegial panel, the verdict will be announced and the court will be adjourned."
