Hearing Xiao Ning's thoughtful and logical accusation, the staff on the opposite side were a little impressed.
I didn't expect this woman to be a lawyer, so she speaks so imposingly.
The point is, so professional
Even the crime methods of the gangsters, the specific law they violated, and the severity of the sentence are all listed in detail. Not only will the eight criminals have to pay a monetary price, but they will also face the disaster of prison. watch for
It's just, unfortunately
The staff's tone was a bit regretful: "Ms. Xiao, you are right. There is only one thing, these eight people are a bit special, and they cannot be sentenced according to Article 234 of the Imperial Criminal Law for the crime of intentional injury."
Xiao Ning frowned: "Why?"
She thinks that she is already familiar with the law beyond familiarity, and this case of intentional injury is not a complicated and major case, the applicable law is obviously that one, and the dispute is nothing more than the severity of the sentence.
And she, of course, will use her skills as a barrister to lay out the evidence in court, vowing to give those criminals the heaviest sentence, preferably the death penalty
However
The staff shook their heads helplessly: "Because those eight people are all 14 or 15-year-old teenagers, and they are minors. According to the laws of the empire, if they commit crimes, they don't have to bear criminal responsibility and don't have to bear such a heavy punishment. At most, they are detained. For a few days, criticize and educate them, or punish them to perform social voluntary labor and do volunteer work.”
Xiao Ning's blood surged up uncontrollably.
Once, she also very much agreed that the law protects minors.
As a lawyer, she knows very well how meaningful it is in theory to formulate this protection clause for minors.
However, facing the reality, she deeply realized that good wishes can never be 100% realized in reality.
The law made this rule of no punishment out of good faith.
but reality
The reality is that although the eight people who injured Niu Bin were fourteen or fifteen years old, they developed very early. They were all big and three thick, and they were particularly strong. Strength, it seems that he has been trained, so if he fights, he will be injured so badly.
Xiao Ning stared at the photos of the suspects on the staff desk, and didn't think that those people were "underage" or "children" at all. They were demons who were more cruel than adults, okay
This kind of child in name is actually an adult, why should he hurt others, but he is not responsible for it
"Could it be that they raped their female classmates at school and murdered and set fires in society, so they don't have to be responsible, just doing evil at will?" Xiao Ning couldn't help but asked angrily.
The staff sighed: "Yes. Ms. Xiao, I think you are also a lawyer. You should have handled or heard of similar cases. Now there are some people in the society who raise this kind of homeless children to do all kinds of things. Such evil things range from sneaking around to smuggling, smuggling, selling, and gambling. Even if they are caught, they cannot be punished, and they can continue to do evil after they are released. Then such children can be raised until they are 18 years old. Do other things after cleansing, or go behind the scenes, and then control the younger children Oh yes, your friend was beaten today, we interrogated it, and those eight children came out to do this kind of thing for the first time, Just practice with your friend, there is no grievance or enmity with him, it was just an accident."
