Joshua Dale was taken to court at 10 a.m. in a different place than everyone else, with bulletproof glass enclosing him like a square transparent cage.
This is not the first time he has sat in this seat, the case has been going on for some time, the trial has been on and off a few times, and he still does not understand the legal process.
"Where's the jury? Why isn't there a jury?"
Joshua glanced around, probably the only thing he knew about the trial now.
Behind him stood a guard at the detention center. Both of them were stern, looking straight ahead without looking sideways, showing a strong sense of oppression.
One of them sneered briefly after hearing this, and muttered from the gap between his lips and replied, "This is of no use to a jury."
It's up to the judge to decide on bail.
Joshua's face turned ugly, which wasn't good news for him because the judge obviously wouldn't like him.
A lot of people didn't like him, he looked sullen and mean, had a bad temper, and wasn't likable at all. But if it's a jury, there may be a little hope.
"Bail is hard, very hard," Joshua murmured.
The two guards behind him looked at each other.
This was a major misunderstanding, in fact bail was simple. It's just that the previous lawyer didn't care about him, and he wasn't even willing to run to the wine city. Who cares about him
And in a place like the wine city, no one cares about you, so don't expect the reviewer to take the initiative to apply bail to you. They want you to stay in a detention center or prison for the rest of your life, and cause them less trouble.
However, the two supervisors didn't intend to explain this to Joshua, they just shrugged and let him misunderstand.
Joshua looked at the defense table with extreme reluctance, "I knew it! Liar! Another liar..."
He saw that the lawyer Gu, who had vowed to get him out, was planning to stand by and watch, and the young lawyer who was sitting beside him was sitting in the dominant position.
The ghost knows that graduation has not graduated, Joshua thought bitterly and desperately.
He saw the opening and closing of the young lawyer's lips as he made his point to the judge, but he didn't hear a word.
Then what did the prosecution say? He still didn't listen.
He was so nervous and angry that he almost vomited.
"Am I going to get out?" Joshua's face was pale.
The two supervisors were happy to answer this kind of question: "Yes, of course."
Joshua lowered his eyelids, buried his head deep in his arms, and gave up hope...
What he didn't know was that Yan Suiyi, who was standing on the defense table, didn't think there was any trouble with the bail, and even planned to make a quick decision. But now is the time for the prosecution to be blind.
“… He has no guardian, no one can control his behavior, and no one can be responsible for the danger he may cause. Past behavior records indicate that he has moderate mania, medical identification on page 18 of the attached material The book can prove it, and I think the lawyer has read all the evidence and is very clear about it."
The prosecution took out the medical identification and sent it forward.
The holographic page automatically unfolds in front of the judge, like a vertical screen big enough for everyone else in the courtroom to see it.
The gray-haired judge nodded, indicating that he had seen the contents of the appraisal certificate. At the same time, he glanced at Yan Suizhi from above his glasses.
Yan Suizhi nodded calmly, indicating that he had seen it.
The prosecution said again: "Video materials 1 to 4 are the surveillance of the detention center, which can also reflect this. In addition—"
He pressed the playback controller on his seat, and the screens on both sides began to play the monitoring of Joshua Daller being sent to trial in the detention center this morning.
Inside and outside the car.
He freezes the playback at a certain moment in the monitor in the car. In the picture, Joshua is struggling, his expression is grim, and his body is leaning to the side of the car window. It looked like he was trying to stick his body out of the car, but was held down by one of the guards.
"Even in the process of being sent to trial this morning, he showed a very unstable mood."
The prosecution paused to let everyone understand what he meant, and then said with regret: "The other party, Joshua Daller, has a sister who is 8 years old and has no resistance. If bail is applied to him, it means that A suspect accused of burglary, moderate mania, and a record of multiple fights will be spending extended periods of time with a helpless little girl."
The prosecution faced the judge squarely: "This is never a good idea, everyone understands."
After speaking, he nodded from the judge to signal the end of his speech.
The judge glanced at Yan Suizhi from above his glasses again: "Defense lawyer... Mr. Ruan?"
Yan Suizhi smiled at the old friend: "Just now, the prosecution mentioned binding force, Your Majesty, forgive me for asking, what do you think is the essence of one person binding another person? Or that one person is bound by another person? What is the essence of self-discipline by one person?"
"Fear. Instinct, or otherwise restrained." The judge paused and added two other answers, "Respect, and love."
Yan Suizhi turned to look at the prosecution again, "Agree?"
Prosecution: "..." Nonsense, can you disagree with what the judge said
And he really thought so.
Yan Suizhi nodded with satisfaction, and he simply picked out the two pages of Joshua Daller's identity information in the case data separately.
The holographic page is displayed in front of everyone.
"The content of this document is comprehensive and clear. The only flaw is that the photos do not match the age."
Judge:"… "
Prosecution: "… "
"But it doesn't matter, the information is enough. The data shows that my client, Joshua Daller, lost his parents when he was 1 year old, and his last elder grandmother died when he was 7 years old. At this time, his grandmother took in another child, which is his sister. Rosie Dale is 1 year old."
"I don't know how old the photo of Rosie Dalle is on this document, but I know it must be more than 1 year old, maybe 5 years old or 4 years old? I will ask the judge and the prosecution a very small question. . Is Rosie Daller in the photo fat?"
Judge:"… "
Prosecution: "… "
"A little bit, but don't ordinary children have flesh on their faces like this? It's not fat." After the judge answered, he glared at Yan Suizhi, "What does this have to do with this trial? I hope you can give a reasonable one. Explain, otherwise, if you ask questions like this, you will be warned."
Yan Suizhi didn't care about it, smiled and said, "Rosie Dalle in the photo has slightly fat cheeks, bright eyes, and is in very good health, just as the judge said, just like ordinary children."
He paused, "but this is the most abnormal, because she is not an ordinary child. She has no parents, and was picked up by my client's grandmother, and from the age of 1 to the age of 5 in the photo. In time, that kind grandmother passed away, and it was my client who raised her."
"The third question, what kind of emotion does a person who can't even fill his stomach keep another person healthy and round? Hate or hate?"
Prosecution: "… "
The judge silently touched the hammer beside him...
For this kind of person who is not good at speaking, I really want to hit hard.
But the old friend felt his conscience and thought that Yan Suizhi's words really made him unable to refute—
What emotion could it be? Obviously love.
There are three essential reasons for binding force, fear, respect, and love.
So can anyone restrain Joshua Daller? some.
Judge:"… "
It's all what he said, nothing wrong.
"As for moderate mania." Yan Suizhi spoke again, "The medical appraisal certificate issued is very clear. My client has had this problem for a long time, no less than 3 years."
"Rosie Darle is 8 years old this year, 3 years ago she was 5 years old, it's time to remember. If my client has threatened her, beat her or scolded her because of moderate mania, or as the prosecution said Yes, it is extremely unstable and dangerous, and it should be fearful for my client."
Yan Suizhi also pressed the playback control button on the seat—the same two screens, or the sent-in monitoring used by the prosecution a few minutes ago.
It's just that he focused on monitoring outside the car.
"Thanks to the surveillance camera outside the car for capturing the corner of the wall opposite the detention center, and also thanks to the existing technology that can enlarge the distant picture without damage." Yan Suizhi enlarged the corner to the entire screen, "Do you see this little girl squatting here? The skin is sallow, the eyes are dull, and the skin is too thin. But I believe you can still recognize her from her facial features. This is Rosie Dalle. She is waiting eagerly for someone who will beat her to come home? "
Prosecution: "… "
The judge glared at Yan Suizhi, the latter smiled back, and then began to summarize the statement: "My client, Joshua Daller, is 14 years old, underage, has a fixed residence, and has the ability to restrain him and hope The family he went back to. Although his performance in the detention center was a little emotional, it shows that he is eager to prove his innocence, so he will never miss the follow-up hearing and fully meet the bail conditions. "
The judge was silent for a moment with a sullen face, and suddenly said: "But there is still a problem... Joshua Daller can neither pay the bond nor find a surety."
