Chapter 282 Don't panic, this will give us a big advantage(1/4)
When the court gave him the final jury list...
He was actually very surprised.
From what he learned, Qin Mu would never make such a low-level mistake.
Twelve jurors, eleven are religious.
This trick is clearly not good for them.
but……
After thinking about it carefully, he felt relieved again.
Most of the people in Arms have religious backgrounds and rarely have no faith.
Perhaps the other party has also screened many times.
But those who do not believe in religion were not screened out.
after all……
These lists of jurors were randomly selected by the court.
Whether or not you believe in religion is not the other party’s final decision.
"That's good. With them here, no matter how strong the opponent is... we won't lose."
After hearing this, Xu Liming breathed a sigh of relief.
Murmur.
According to the provisions of the jury system, the judgment can only take effect if the entire jury member makes a unanimous verdict.
Even if an accident occurs...
They could not win the approval of the twelve jurors, but they would not lose the case.
For them.
Losing is too difficult and almost impossible.
Even if I can't win the case today, I can't even re-examine it.
"winter--"
It's exactly eleven o'clock.
The judge formally entered the court with the trial team.
The gavel was ringed.
The judge in charge of the trial...
It was still the old judge who presided over the pretrial meeting before, with gray hair and a peaceful face.
"Today, in the First Civil Trial Court of Arms City Court, the formal trial will be held in the case of Xu Liming v. Zhang Qingyuan and Feng Cuihua donation disputes. I, Anthony Martin, and the jury will jointly hear the case."
He glanced at the people below.
The old voice kept echoing in the court.
"Before the formal trial, please ask both parties to take oaths in turn."
Said.
Then he looked at Xu Liming in the plaintiff's bench.
Seeing this, Xu Liming quickly stood up.
He took the Bible handed over by the clerk and pressed one hand on it.
At the same time, he said seriously: "I do solemnly, siruly deaffirm that the evidence I shall give shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothih."
After saying that.
He then handed over the Bible to George beside him.
George took it to the Bible and was also very pious.
Pressing his hand on it and whispered: "I swear by almighty God that the evidence I shall give shall be the truth, the whole truth and nothih."
The two finished this move.
The clerk took the Bible and walked to Zhang Qingyuan and Feng Cuihua in the dock.
He handed the book to the two of them.
Zhang Qingyuan was confused when he saw this scene.
Glimps with Feng Cuihua.
Four eyes were confused.
"This...this...this...what does this mean? There is no such process in China?"
For a moment.
He was a little overwhelmed.
As a famous person in Jincheng.
He has participated in court trials of unknown number and claimed that he had seen many things.
But this...
He had never encountered it before, and had no idea what Xu Liming and others were trying to press their hands on a book.
He didn't understand a single word of the birds he was talking about.
In helpless.
He could only look at the "spoke translator" Chen Tiankuo.
At the lawyer's seat.
Chen Tiankuo coughed softly and explained this link to Zhang Qingyuan.
This is the oath stage of the litigation participants before the trial.
Press your hand on the Bible and swear to God, indicating that your words in court are true and reliable.
"And to swear to their God?"
After listening to it, Zhang Qingyuan became even more unhappy and looked reluctant.
He lived for most of his life.
I have never believed in God, and I have to swear to God.
Aside.
Qin Mu looked at Lao Zhang with a reluctant look and explained with a smile: "This has nothing to do with faith, it is a fixed link in the foreign legal system. The oath of faith and the oath of faith are different from the oath of faith."
“You can also choose not to take an oath.”
Just now.
Xu Liming and George respectively handed over the Bible to take the oath, but the oaths were different.
Xu Liming was an oath that was not religious, while George was an oath that was religious.
Whether faith or not...
All can be sworn.
This link exists to ensure that all the litigation participants in court are the truth.
But in fact...
This method of oath is at most a bit binding on those who believe in religion.
After all, it is an oath to their faith, and such people rarely violate their faith.
But for those who have no faith...
But there is no binding force, and the oath is just a superficial form.
also.
The parties may also make a request to not participate in the oathing process, and the court will also allow it.
only……
In the court's default, the effectiveness of what the party who has not taken the oath will be discounted.
so.
Most of the time, if not necessary, both parties will take an oath to the Bible.
"It's okay? Then I won't swear!"
After listening to Qin Mu's explanation, Zhang Qingyuan and Feng Cuihua quickly expressed their opinions.
They have no favoritism for the so-called Bible and do not want to swear at it at all.
To be continued...
