Chapter 336 Century Judgment 3 (Fifth)

The law cannot solve all problems, it can only constrain some problems.

In the continuous development of civilization, it is impossible to expect all problems to be solved by law.

Because times are changing, society is developing, problems are increasing, and many things will become more and more complicated.

Laws have to change accordingly, such as adding some clauses, or reducing some, or modifying some... Generally speaking, there will be more and more types of laws, and the clauses will become more and more detailed.

But will this solve the problem?
Can it effectively reduce the crime rate?
No!

Like computer programs, laws also have bugs and loopholes, and what is different from computers is that there may be more and more loopholes in laws. You modify a bug, but it may bring new bugs, and always Yes, there will be loopholes, and there will always be someone who will exploit that loophole.

Therefore, for quite a long time, among the top ten occupations known as "the most difficult to do" by the Blue Star Federation, the judge has long been ranked first.

Among the top ten "most promising" professions, lawyers are ranked in the top three... These guys, relying on their sharp tongue, can always rely on legal loopholes to help people get rid of their crimes.

It was not until the emergence of the "moral court" that this situation changed dramatically.

Because the basis of the judgment of the moral court is not the law, but morality.

The conditions for adjudicating guilt are also very simple. If more than 100 of the 95 "moral representatives" think they are "guilty" (that is, the vast majority of people cannot tolerate it), then he is guilty and cannot be quibbled.

After the emergence of the moral trial model, although the premise of conviction is harsh (more than 95% of the people must support the guilt), the social crime rate of the Blue Star Federation has dropped significantly, and the work of judges is also easier. No matter how shrewd and intelligent a criminal is, he cannot escape the punishment he deserves.

Some people think that this model is a blasphemy of the law and a persecution of innocent people... But in fact, the formulation of most laws is based on morality.

Using morality to judge whether a person is guilty or not is actually returning to the essence of law.

So when Lan Xiulong mentioned the concept of "moral court" on TV, saying that he would not let a criminal escape the punishment he deserved, the ear-stars in front of the TV suddenly cheered.

"You will have a seven-day debate. After the debate, the court will hold a referendum. If more than 50% of the people think she is guilty, she will get her punishment. If it is less than 50%, she will be free from all punishment. .”

"I vote her guilty!"

"My whole family votes her guilty!"

"Haha, female devil, you are dead!"

Erqiren was very happy, Daode, that conscientious woman, would be smashed to pieces in front of Daode.

"It's over, what should we do now?"

Luo Xin's face was pale and he was trembling all over. To be honest, the debate a few days ago had exhausted his mental and physical strength, but as soon as the concept of the moral court came out, Luo Xin understood that it was almost impossible for him to turn the tide.

And he also understands that a 50% approval rate can lead to a conviction. 50. An approval rate of more than 7% is not convincing at all.

It can be said that it would be hell-level difficulty for Luo Xin to clear his teacher Lan Li's charges.

In the next 7 days, it had a huge and far-reaching impact on the Erqi Stars and the Blue Star Federation.

Even among other civilizations in the galaxy, they are very famous.

These 7 days, the Erqixing people call it "the seven days of self-salvation" in the history books.

The legal experts of the Blue Star Federation spoke highly of it: "In the past seven days, the Erqi people have undergone a transformation from soul to body. This group has achieved self-transcendence and sublimation."

After the whole process of this trial was made into a movie, it raked in a box office of 83178 trillion federal currency in Blue Star Federation, and the total box office ranked third among the top 100 movies at the box office.

And Yun Xinghe, who promoted the trial, also sighed afterwards: "I never thought that the influence of this trial would be so great."

What happened in these 7 days?
It is roughly as follows:

In the first four days, there were overwhelming accusations from moral representatives, and Luo Xin's feeble rebuttals.

An authoritative TV station dispatched a large number of reporters to conduct a questionnaire survey. After statistics, it was concluded that the proportions of those who believed that Lan Li must be punished in the past four days were: 99.9%, 99.8%, 99.7%, and 99.6%.

On the fifth day, 100% of the people believed that Lan Li must be punished.

Because on this day, Lan Li spoke, facing endless moral accusations, even with a heart of ice and stone, her endurance was about to reach its limit.

Then I saw those angry, ferocious, and ugly faces written all over them, as well as the repeated, unnutritious scolding and insulting words, and a middle school teacher, who continued to talk for two hours without a break, with wonderful accusations, When the audience cheered and applauded, Lan Li, who was finally impatient, said to him coldly: "You are hopeless, you must all be destroyed!"

"You yourself are in the dark, but don't hinder others from pursuing the light!"

The words of the middle school teacher not only stunned Lan Li, but also warmly applauded from the audience.

This conversation has also become one of the dozens of most classic passages in this trial.

Lan Li lowered her head, and with her unrepentant attitude, she angered the last person who had a little bit of kindness in her heart. This female devil must be severely punished, which immediately became the consensus of the whole people.

The sixth day, the turning point.

Luo Xin, who had disappeared for two days, came back with bloodshot eyes. He had an extra video in his hand, a video about his teacher Lan Li and his past life.

"My teacher has experienced hardships that no one else has ever experienced. This suffering made her completely lose confidence in human beings, and it was the root cause of Erqixing's destruction and disaster. To be honest, if it was me, I would only experience these things. For a small part of the suffering, I also become a demon and destroy the world... Your Honor, I request that this video be shown."

"Don't let it go!"

Lan Li, who seemed to know what it was, screamed suddenly, but was stopped by the security personnel.

The old judge nodded and agreed to show the video.

After the video started playing, just 5 minutes later, everyone fell silent.

At 10 minutes into the play, some people already bit their lips with a look of unbearable expression.

After the 10-minute video was played, the audience at the scene and in front of the TV were all silent, unable to calm down for a long time.

The video is about a girl from the intellectual class, from the age of eight to the age of 40, she has endured all kinds of hardships.

Her parents were persecuted to death, she was bullied by her peers at school, and she was framed by her husband after she got married... The world this woman lives in can be called a hell.

As a woman who is suffering in hell, it is only natural to want to destroy that hell.

Put yourself in your shoes, if you were in that kind of black and white upside-down environment, would you still have a little bit of hope and fantasy about that world?

If I were myself, I'm afraid I would make the same choice, right?
"My name is Nasha, and I want to stand up and speak for this grandma."

A little girl stood up and stood on the counter defense lawyer's stand, becoming the first person to defend Lanli besides Luo Xin.

Many people in the audience recognized Nasha. This little girl is a little celebrity in the V club, the hero V who has left, the person who took care of her most during her lifetime, and those who knew Nasha also liked this kind and sensible person very much. Little girl, I never thought that Nasha would dare to stand up and defend the devil. This...

"Brave little girl." Someone sighed inwardly.

On the stage, Nasha was timid, but she still said in a crisp voice:
"I want to say that this grandma is not guilty. She...she is just too desperate for us. She just chose a wrong way to change us and the world."

"Uncle V once told me that the reason our world has come to this point is not because aliens want to turn us into slaves and get something from us."

"It is our own sin, evil, and greed that have brought us to where we are now."

"This grandma, like us, was a poor victim, and if she hadn't been hurt like that, she would be a very kind person."

"But punishing her and killing her can make her let go of the hatred in her heart? Will it make her truly regret it?"

"No, she will still hate us."

"After we kill her, will we forgive her? No, but we will hate her for a long, long time."

"So the hatred will always remain in the hearts of you, me, him, everyone... it will be difficult to eliminate."

"But...the suffering we have experienced is not enough? It has been more than 2000 years, so many people have died, so many disasters and hatred are still there, and they will never stop."

"Can't we have a good day?"

"Can't we let go of our hatred, choose to forgive, and choose a new future?"

"When Uncle V died, he told me that he hoped that after the overthrow of the Three-Eyed Society, there will be no more hatred in this world. Hate will destroy everything!"

"He wants people to choose to love, love themselves, love you, love him, love this world! Use love to rebuild everything we have lost!"

"So, I choose to let go of my hatred, I choose to forgive this grandma."

"I hope that everyone can also choose to forgive each other, and together, we can create a new world without hatred."

After Nasha finished speaking, the scene was extremely quiet.

For more than ten minutes, no one made a sound.

When a certain camera turned to Lan Li who was on the side, a drop of water appeared in the corner of her eye.

On the first day, a total of five people stood up to defend Lanli. These people were all respected senior members of the V Club.

In the evening of that day, after the TV station conducted a questionnaire survey, the proportion of those who were in favor of punishing Lan Li dropped to 75%.
