The Sabbath Chapter 271: Changes
This was an unusually long trial.
Because Peize has not said a word since his arrest and could not get any statements from him, the court chose to use witness testimony and evidence collection to prove his crime.
The witness group headed by Berg and composed of children born in Star Prison began to stand on the witness stand to state their experiences.
People are no strangers to these young witnesses. After all, the media has been tracking and reporting their lives after they came to Sky City. After seeing that these children were no different from the children in Sky City, they also fell in love with these children because of the details presented in the report.
Sensible, well-behaved and motivated, no one would hate this kind of child.
However, just as in the report, what people learned was only the life of the children after they arrived in the sky city of Eternal Day, and what they learned was only the life of these children after going through hardships. Before these children stated their experiences, they It is completely unimaginable: these little bodies have experienced such terrible things!
The media did report after Pei Ze’s initial arrest, but the report was just a report, far inferior to hearing the stories of people who experienced these experiences in person, and the stories of strangers are an effect, while the stories of familiar people Yet another effect.
Not to mention such a young and pitiful narrator! ! !
The children's narration has no traces of what adults have taught them. They just narrate their past lives in the language they have mastered. The point where there is no way to live. Because——
"Those who feel that this kind of life cannot go on are dead." This sentence is said by Berg. Not big, not tall, but his narrative ability is the best.
He didn't sell miserably, because he didn't think his life was "miserable". He thought so from the bottom of his heart. The young adult is so moved, he is simply a "little adult"!
However, it is this "adult" behavior that makes people feel more sympathetic to him.
Nearly 2,000 children, even if each of them only spoke a few words, the total time is not too short. The judge let them speak freely, and the people in the auditorium just listened. The whole hearing process, The kids part alone lasted three full days!
During these three days, the 12-hour court session during the daytime was extremely intense, and they were deeply sympathetic to the children. And listening to the children talk about life in the Star Prison every day for three consecutive days, many people actually felt the same way, as if they had crawled out of hell.
During the hearing during the day, the judge will regularly arrange breaks, and the children and the audience can take the opportunity to rest, while the reporters have to work overtime even during this time, and the photos taken and recorded The content was spread to their own planet in a timely manner, and one report after another flew out like a snowflake.
The entire sky city is united, and the petitions demanding strict treatment of Peize and a thorough investigation of the forces behind Peize are becoming more and more enthusiastic
From the beginning to the end, Peize on the judgment stand didn't say a word. His eyes were open, as if he was looking at the balance on the judgment stand in front of him, but he didn't seem to see anything.
Xiaomei always felt familiar with this scene, as if he had seen a similar scene a long time ago.
A gentle male voice came from next to his ear, and he moved his gaze to the face of the man who was talking, yes, this is it.
The person who is speaking now is Allen.
As the person who experienced the whole incident and the current guardian of the children, Allen also came to the stage to talk about his related experiences.
He is now on the witness stand, not the judge's stand.
However, a long time ago, in one of his memories, Alan came to Sky City for the first time and came to Star Court, but he was not on the witness stand, but the position where Peize was standing now.
Listen to the judges.
At that time, Alan, like Peize, didn't say anything.
This is an ad hoc special court for convicted prisoners.
Their identities have been identified as guilty persons, and the entire trial process is to let more people clearly understand their "crimes", and the statements of the witnesses are only for accurate sentencing.
From the moment they stood on this stage, they were destined to be sentenced, but the amount of punishment was different.
This is the end of Peize now, and the end of Alan in memory is also the same.
However——
Xiaomei suddenly felt that the scene in her memory was full of irony.
Fortunately, the current development is different from the past.
Xiaomei quietly looked at Alan who was slowly narrating her experience in front of her, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
The last two witnesses-Poma and Allen set off a new riot in Sky City again!
Poma's experience is really inspiring. She is diligent, motivated, filial, studious, smart and quick-witted. After experiencing so much suffering, Poma, who still seems to be a hearty young man, has greatly gained a wave of favorability in the hearts of Sky City people.
And Grandpa Allen
Uh, his experience is not particularly inspirational, and it is purely based on appearance that he can set off a new revolution in Sky City.
However, Grandpa Alan didn't mind this. Like the children, he had no interest in being miserable.
After the statement of the innocent witness group led by Grandpa Allen, the criminal witness group represented by Analo came to the stage to make a statement. The content was probably the various systems in the star prison. He probably did How many operations were performed, how many organs were used in the operation, etc.
This wave of testimonies once again blew up the people of Sky City.
The same content, narrated from different populations is the black and white sides of the same thing. What people hear from the children is strong, but what they hear from Analo is only hateful.
The treatment is completely different from that of the children. Analo and the others were scolded miserably on the witness stand. If not all the people entering the court have undergone strict security checks, they may be thrown dirty things .
Stretching out the gavel, the silver-haired female judge slammed on the trial platform and said solemnly:
"Quiet, please guard the witness to step down, please guard the judge to step down, I announce that the court will be adjourned today, and the evidence will start tomorrow"
The accident happened at this time.
After the gavel sounded, the audience was still noisy. Some observers obediently sat back and prepared to leave, but a few people scolded even more fiercely.
The judge was not surprised by this. After all, the testimony she heard these days was too dark, to the point where she didn't even want to look at Peize more. However, with good professional ethics, the following trial procedures have to continue. After the witnesses' statements are over, the next step is the evidence part.
Place the evidence seized in the Star Prison in the court one by one, be identified by the witnesses, and be visited by the witnesses.
The trial this time is actually very procedural. The case is not complicated. Peize has made it clear that she is guilty. The amount of conviction is actually easy for an experienced judge like her. It is rare that it is a game between the two forces behind it.
How to judge? How much is the sentence? Can both parties accept it?
This is a question that every judge assigned to this task must think about.
One of the reasons why this case has not been opened for a long time is this question. Almost every judge is hesitant about this question. Everyone has a tendency. A judge was sent, and finally she was found out who was about to retire and had no intention of participating in the struggle between the two rooms.
The female judge pursed her thin lips.
Perhaps, other judges who are on the rise in their careers do think about many issues, but for her who is about to retire soon, there is only one question she needs to think about:
It is how the judgment can satisfy the people.
Having already come to a conclusion in her heart, she was not surprised by the reaction of the witnesses at this moment, who hated people like Peize deeply. But loyal to the integrity, she still called the security personnel and asked them to pull away the witnesses who were yelling, and then at this moment——
Several black shadows suddenly flew out from the auditorium, and two black shadows hit Analo and Tahu who had just finished their testimony.
"Protect the witness." The female judge said, but not long after she finished speaking, she quickly thought of a more serious problem, turned her head quickly, and said loudly: "Protect the judge! Please hurry up Take him down"
When she saw something while shouting, she suddenly widened her eyes.
It seemed to be hit by something, and Peize fell down in response.
When the female judge turned her head, he just fell limply to the ground.
"Be on alert! All witnesses must control themselves! Arrange for a doctor to come quickly!" She shouted loudly.
Layer after layer of guards quickly surrounded the trial platform, and soon Ronggui couldn't see anything.
They were locked in the isolation room for two full days, and all the witnesses were checked one by one before they were released. It was not known until they were released:
Peze was attacked, although he did not die, but fell into a coma, the current state
It is commonly known as a vegetable.
The witness who threw the object was caught, and the other party insisted that he threw only ordinary fruit, so he threw three, and he was just an amateur heavy ball *pitcher However, there is a goal), it’s just a little more strength, and then it’s just a little bit more accurate. It’s just a fruit, and it can’t kill people at all. Didn’t Analo and Tahu also be thrown by him? He is still alive and kicking, and even participated in Peize's rescue!
The police finally found three fruits on the trial stand. As he said, they were three ordinary fruits.
However, Peize was hit in a daze, not only was hit, but also the most fatal central nervous system.
This——
Ronggui heard again that they can return soon.
The trial was temporarily terminated. The original female judge was accused of ineffective supervision and shielded the assailant out of personal feelings, and was deprived of the right to participate in the Pei Ze case.
This is not all the news. On the night when Ronggui and Xiaomei returned to Coral City by land vehicle, they learned another news:
The land vehicle that was escorting the evidence of the Peize case from other star cities to the Farafur star court encountered an accident, and some of the evidence was lost.
And Ronggui's body is on the lost list.
