On the steps outside the Supreme Court of the Empire, two polite gentlemen stood in the corner smoking cigarettes. Many reporters came down the steps, but not many people came for the planned demonstration.
"This is not the same as our previous plan..." One of the older men exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at the sparse people under the steps who couldn't even gather signs, shivering in the cold wind with somewhat cold eyes.
He looked at those people shivering, and it made him feel so chilled for no reason. He shook his shoulders, and the heat naturally exhaled when he spoke could be seen.
The cold air from the north and south hit the imperial capital immediately, and the temperature suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees, and there will be a continuous cooling process.
Judging from the current weather observations and predictions by the Meteorological Bureau, this winter will be warmer than previous winters. As for why there is such a behavior, the staff of the Meteorological Observatory said that they themselves do not know because this conclusion is completely It's blind.
Despite the unreliable weather station staff, the two gentlemen always had a hint of worry in their eyes. In fact, their plans had already experienced several major changes and disturbances.
According to the previous plan, a very large number of demonstrators would hold high anti-war and humanitarian signs and demonstrate outside the court today. In this way, they would put pressure on the judge and jury.
According to the interpretations and regulations of the Imperial Ministry of Justice and the law, the vast majority of the members of the jury come from the bottom of society, and most of them are illiterate.
They will not have very high academic qualifications, nor will they have any interest relationship with any plaintiff or defendant who may have to vote on their opinions to determine the outcome. When these people serve as jury members, apart from being idle, their The enthusiasm and seriousness are mainly due to the five yuan subsidy per case and a week's food and accommodation.
As long as you are randomly selected to become a jury member of a certain case, especially those who are influential or both parties are relatively famous people or organizations.
They will enjoy a trip with food and accommodation for at least one week, completely isolated from the outside world, and the subsidies will increase.
The most important thing is the free food and accommodation for at least a week, which is the most attractive. You can eat a variety of sumptuous dishes without restriction. For many people, it is like winning a lottery, and even winning a lottery is not enough. It's better not to have such a treatment, which is why people are happy to sign up.
These jury members did not know the specific circumstances of each case before appearing in court, and they did not know the background of both parties, and then they began to wait.
The defense lawyers for both sides received some information forms for jury selection twenty-four hours before the trial.
For example, the age, gender, occupation, religious belief, profession, and some simple but necessary introductions such as personality of a certain jury candidate.
The names of any potential jury members and their contact information will not be mentioned. The first job of the legal teams of both parties before the trial is to select no less than three batches of jury members.
They need to select candidates who can gather at least three groups of members from the nameless list according to those detailed introductions, and then submit them to the court for the next step.
The court will break up these three groups or more and redistribute them evenly together, in order to avoid possible fraud to the greatest extent.
For example, Dulin is very famous. If he expresses his "respect" to the jury members in certain ways on certain occasions, this may very well change the overall decision of the jury members. At this time, the opposing lawyer has the right to propose Requesting a change of jury.
This kind of thing has happened before. There was a very famous lawsuit in the history of the empire. The specific content has been kept confidential from the public, but the reason why people know this lawsuit is not the lawsuit itself.
It was some trouble caused by the legal teams of both sides in the selection of jury members. They replaced a dozen batches of jury members in total. There is also a saying that more than twenty batches of jury members were replaced, and the purpose was to Make sure that one party can win the lawsuit as much as possible.
Although this lawsuit ended in a unique way, it could be said that no one won and no one lost. Only one person among a large group of defendants pleaded guilty and served a sentence, and the others were acquitted.
This shows how important the jury is to the outcome in this very, very important case.
In order to influence these jurors, Harry hired many people to hold demonstrations outside the court before the trial started today. This was to give the incoming jurors the first and deepest impression of the case. impression.
However, it seems that their plan encountered some setbacks. Not a large number of people gathered here to demonstrate. These people are actually more concerned about the activities of the Labor Party than cheap fried chicken and bread.
Not only does it have fried chicken and beer, but it is also said that there is a chance to find a permanent job, so the appeal here is not as good as before.
Another slightly shorter gentleman also nodded in agreement, "That's true. The Imperial Party and the Labor Party have stolen the limelight. People are more concerned about the activities being held by the Imperial Party and the Labor Party. They care about our affairs." I don’t care that much anymore.”
"Du Lin has good luck, but his luck cannot stay this good forever. Today is the day his good luck ends!"
The two of them finished their cigarettes with confidence and returned to the court. Even in the court, many people were discussing the possible impact of the newly emerged Imperial Party and Labor Party on the Empire. In the eyes of some people, this lawsuit was no longer So important.
Regardless of whether Dulin will fall or not, his impact on the empire will be far less than the impact of the two newly established political parties on the empire.
Dulin did not attend this court hearing, and the full power was left to the legal team. He also had to deal with other matters - Labor Party matters.
Dulin did not include the idea of industrial development in the development plan of Ambiro State, and also moved some polluting chemical plants and heavy factories away from the area, but this does not mean that there is no working class in Ambiro State. .
Some light industries, such as handicraft manufacturers, garment product factories, and various light industry factories of various sizes are still very common in Ambiro State.
Human beings are the most socially complex intelligent creatures. Sometimes even humans themselves cannot figure out what the behavior of other humans means.
Some workers, including some labor service resource companies, have begun activities under the liaison of the Labor Party.
This kind of activity is not necessarily about doing something great, it is simply that the people of the west have found a way to vent their enthusiasm that can melt even the sun.
The main reason Dooling was keeping an eye on this matter was not because he was afraid that these farmers and cowboys would oppose his policies, but because he was afraid that the lives of those in the Labor Party might be in danger.
