Don’t you understand
Adam didn't feel that he fully understood what the teacher said, but he didn't feel that he understood anything either.
He understood the general meaning - almost, he understood half of it.
More than thirty minutes later, Adam sat behind the eighty-five centimeter-high dark black judge's desk and thought so.
Right in front of him was the suspect's seat. The stall owner Eric and the four men in gray had different expressions. Among them, Eric, the stall owner, had a calm and serious face, without saying a word. There were four men in gray clothes, three of them had expressionless faces, and the other was a bald man with a bruised nose and swollen face, and his eyes were extremely fierce. He looked at Eric next to him for a while, and then looked at his three companions.
It seemed that the bald man hated his three companions more than he hated the stall owner Eric.
In view of this situation, as many as four court peace officers and a court peace officer stood ready not far away to prevent the four men in gray from starting a fight on their own.
Behind the suspect's seat is a spectator seat that can accommodate 161 people, and it was full at this time. But this was not all the spectators. More people stood in the open space on the periphery, separated by a half-meter-high wooden fence, with curiosity and expectation in their eyes.
In this area, four other court security officers were constantly patrolling to control order, and the provincial onlookers were too noisy.
Speaking of which, nearly half an hour had passed since the trial began, and the general process had been gone through. The case has been explained, the witnesses, testimonies, and exhibits have all been reviewed, and they are just waiting for the judge to pronounce the verdict, so most of the bystanders remained quiet and waited patiently.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
A few seconds later, Adam, who was behind the dark black judge's desk, stood up, glanced around at everyone in the hall, held the purple gavel and struck it hard, making a crisp sound that spread throughout the room.
Everyone was shocked and knew that the real show was coming.
Adam cleared his throat and solemnly announced the final verdict: "Based on the previous confessions of both parties, as well as the information provided by witnesses and exhibits, and with reference to Articles 18 and 23 of the Falin Public Security Law, this court makes the following decisions judgment:
The criminal suspect Eric, together with the criminal suspects Hamilton, Dennis, Carl, and Leonard, fought with extraordinary strength in public places without intending to control the effect and scope of the battle, posing a great threat to the surrounding people and damaging the public. order.
Fortunately, Bowen, a lecturer in Atlanta studies, stopped the incident and no serious consequences were caused. No obvious harm was caused to the surrounding people, but some public facilities were damaged. In addition, the criminal suspects on both sides are first-time offenders and have no previous bad records, so this trial focuses on warnings and supplemented by punishments.
This court decided that the criminal suspect Eric should perform city services for the city of Atlanta for six months and bear a quarter of the cost of repairing damaged public facilities - one hundred and fifty silver coins. Considering that the criminal suspects Hamilton, Dennis, Carl, and Leonard were not residents of Sarin, they would bear three-quarters of the repair costs for the damaged public facilities - 450 silver coins. After paying in full, they would be deported out of the country. Re-entry is not allowed for five years. "
After a pause, Adam looked at the stall owner Eric and the four men in gray and asked: "Do you accept the verdict of the criminal suspects on both sides? If there is no objection, it will be executed immediately."
"I accept it," the stall owner Eric responded. "I can start city services tomorrow. As for the repair costs for damaged public facilities, they can be settled immediately after the trial."
"Okay." Adam nodded and asked again, "What about the other suspect?"
After hearing this, the three men in gray clothes looked at the bald man.
The bald man looked directly at Adam. After staring for about three seconds, he said word by word: "I don't accept it!"
"Why? Please explain the reasons why the criminal suspect does not accept it. If there is any objection to the provisions of the Falin Public Security Law on which this trial is based, this court can provide further explanations." Adam said. "
"Fuck the Sarin Security Law, and screw your criminal suspects!" the bald man shouted with dissatisfaction, "Once again, I didn't commit a crime, but I was arresting the criminals! How did you interrogate them? , the guy next to me is the one who has done many evil things, but the result is just a small fine and six months of city service is enough
And we, after paying the money, are forced to leave Sarin? We are forced to leave, how can we take this guy away? I don't accept the verdict! "
After hearing the words, Adam's eyebrows moved, his serious expression looked a little gloomy, he looked at the bald man and said: "Suspect Leonard, this court reminds you again, abide by court order and pay attention to your personal words.
In addition, the reasons you mentioned for not accepting the decision will not affect the outcome of the verdict. You stated that the suspect Eric had serious crimes, but he had no criminal record in the eight months since he became a resident of Atlanta. The crimes he committed in Sarin did not fall into the category of violent crimes. The criminal behavior was difficult to prove, so this article was rejected. Next, please cooperate with the verdict and implement it, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences. "
"You are responsible for the consequences?!" The bald man named Leonard stared, and he hit the wooden table in front of him with his fist, making a "boom" sound. "If I don't cooperate with the execution of the sentence, I must take Eli with me." Where is this guy?"
"Then I can only tell you once again, there will be consequences at your own risk!" Adam held the judge's gavel and frowned deeply, "Anyone who dares to challenge Falin's laws will never succeed, and there will definitely be no good end!"
"I want to give it a try!" Leonard shouted, grabbing the wooden table in front of him, squeezing it with his hands, and it shattered with a "crash".
As the wooden table shattered, four court security officers quickly surrounded Leonard. Energy surged from their bodies, blocking all directions of Leonard's movement to prevent Leonard's attacks from harming Judge Adam or the bystanders.
In addition, there is a court peace officer who bows slightly, ready to support at any time.
In the corner, the court sheriff, who had his eyes closed and was concentrating, opened his eyelids just a slit and glanced over.
Leonard was shocked to see the court responding so quickly and with such a large formation. To be honest, although he had a bad temper, he was not stupid. Having been beaten up violently by the Spark tribe before, I had already developed a memory. I only dared to attack after seeing that there was no Spark tribe magic knight in the court. I just didn't expect that without the Magic Cavalry, the Court Security Officer and the Court Sheriff were stronger. They were not at the same level as the ordinary Sheriff Lum whom I met before.
this!
Leonard's neck subconsciously shrank, and he suddenly turned his head to look at his three companions, asking for help: "You still won't help me?"
The three companions in gray were a little ashamed because they had not taken action when facing the Spark tribe before, and they really wanted to help Leonard. But seeing how strong the court security officer who rushed towards me was, he decisively stood still and remained motionless.
"Damn it!"
Leonard couldn't help but curse. At this time, the nearest court security officer had already arrived in front of him. A bolt of lightning appeared in the palm of his hand and struck suddenly.
Leonard immediately felt a tingling sensation on his skin, which was a warning signal, and he tried to dodge, but the lightning was so fast that almost as soon as he reacted, it arrived in front of him and then exploded.
"Buzz!"
The light after the lightning exploded was brighter than expected, illuminating the entire hall almost instantly.
Leonard felt as if hundreds of red-hot iron needles were being stabbed into his eyeballs. He screamed and went blind. Liquid flowed out of his eyes uncontrollably. He didn't know whether it was blood or tears.
