Chapter 165: Judgment of the Century 3
The law cannot solve all problems, it can only restrict some problems.
As civilization continues to develop, it is impossible to rely on all problems to be solved by law.
Because times are changing, society is developing, problems are increasing, many things will become more and more complicated.
The law also has to change accordingly, such as adding some clauses, reducing some, or modifying some... In general, there will be more and more types of laws and the terms will become more and more detailed.
But can this solve the problem?
Can it effectively reduce the crime rate?
cannot!
Like computer programs, there are also bugs and vulnerabilities in the law. Unlike computers, there may be more and more loopholes in the law. If you modify a bug, it may bring new bugs. There will always be vulnerabilities, and there will always be people who will get into that vulnerability.
Therefore, for a long time, judges ranked first among the top ten professions that Blue Star Federation claims to be the "most difficult" one.
Among the top ten professions with "most promising" lawyers rank among the top three... These guys can always rely on legal loopholes to help people clear their crimes by relying on a sharp mouth.
It was not until the emergence of the "moral court" that this situation changed drastically.
Because the basis for the trial of the moral court is not the law, but morality.
The conditions for verdicting guilty are also very simple. If more than 95 people think that they are "crime" (that is, most people cannot tolerate it), then they are guilty and cannot be quizzed.
After the emergence of the moral trial model, although the prerequisite for conviction was harsh (more than 95% of people must support guilt), the social crime rate of Blue Star Federation has declined significantly, and the work of judges is easier to do. The living space of lawyers of Qiaozui has decreased. No matter how smart and high-quality criminals are, they cannot escape the punishment they deserve.
Some people think that this model is a blasphemy of the law and a persecution of innocent people... But in fact, the formulation of most laws is based on morality.
Using morality to judge whether a person is guilty is actually a return to the essence of the law.
So when Lan Xiulong spoke out the concept of "moral court" on TV and said that he would not let a criminal escape the punishment he deserved, the Eqi Stars in front of the TV immediately cheered.
"You will have a seven-day debate. After the debate, the court will hold a referendum. If more than 50% of people think she is guilty, she will receive punishment that belongs to her. If less than 50%, she will be exempted from all punishments."
"I'm guilty of betraying her!"
"My whole family condemns her!"
"Haha, female devil, you're dead!"
The man was very happy in his heart. Morality, that conscience, was smashed to pieces in front of morality.
"It's over, what should I do now?"
Luo Xin's face turned pale and his whole body was trembling. To be honest, the debate a few days ago had exhausted his brain and physical strength, but as soon as the concept of moral court came out, Luo Xin understood: there was almost no possibility for him to turn the tide.
And he also understood that a 50% approval rate can be convicted, which is definitely a deliberate embarrassment, because 50% is an easy-to-reach number, and it is very ridiculous to use for conviction. Moral judgment must be universal. Without a 7 or 80% approval rate, it cannot be convinced at all.
It can be said that it is already hell-level difficulty for Luo Xin to clear his teacher Lan Li away.
In the next seven days, it had a huge and far-reaching impact on the Erqi Star people and the Blue Star Federation.
Even among other civilizations in the Galaxy, they are very famous.
These 7 days, the Erqi Star people called it "Seven Days of Self-Salvation" in history books.
Legal experts from the Blue Star Federation highly praised: "In the past seven days, the Erqi Star people have undergone transformation from their souls to their bodies, and this group has achieved self-transcendence and sublimation."
After the entire trial was made into a movie, it won 831.78 billion federal dollars in Blue Star Federation, ranking third among the top 100 movies in the box office.
Yun Xinghe, who promoted this trial, sighed afterwards: "I never thought that the influence of this trial would be so great."
What happened in these 7 days?
It is roughly as follows:
The first four days were the moral representatives, with overwhelming accusations and Luo Xin's pale and powerless rebuttal.
An authoritative TV station sent a large number of reporters to conduct a questionnaire survey and statistics concluded that the proportions of those who believed that Lan Li must be punished were: 99.9%, 99.8%, 99.7%, and 99.6% respectively in these four days.
On the fifth day, the proportion of people who believed that Lan Li must be punished reached 100%.
Because of this day, Lan Li spoke, and faced with endless moral accusations, even if she was an ice stone heart, her patience was almost at its limit.
When I saw the angry, hideous, ugly faces, and the rebukes and insults that were tossed and turned, and in a middle school teacher kept talking for two hours without interruption. With wonderful accusations, Lan Li, who was finally impatient, said to him coldly: "You are hopeless, and you must all be destroyed!"
"You are in darkness yourself, but don't hinder others from pursuing light!"
The middle school teacher's words not only made Lan Li stunned, but also applauded enthusiastically from the audience.
This conversation has also become one of the most classic dozens of passages in this trial.
Lan Li lowered her head and, with her unrepentant attitude, angered the person who had a trace of kindness in her heart in the end. She must severely punish this female demon, which immediately became a consensus among the whole people.
The sixth day, the turning point.
Luo Xin, who had disappeared for two days, came back with bloodshot eyes. He had a video on his hand, a video about his teacher Lan Li, and his past life.
"My teacher has experienced no suffering from anyone. This suffering has completely lost her confidence in humans. It is the root of Erqixing's destruction and disaster. To be honest, if it were me, even if I only experienced a small part of these sufferings, I would become a demon and destroy the world as well... Dear Lord Judge, I request the screening of this video."
"Don't let it go!"
Lan Li, who seemed to know what it was, suddenly screamed, but was stopped by the security personnel.
The old judge nodded and agreed to show the video.
After the video started playing, only five minutes later, everyone was silent.
After playing for twenty minutes, someone could not bear it and bit his lip.
After the 60-minute video was played, the audience on the scene and in front of the TV were silent and could not calm down for a long time.
The video tells the story of a girl from the intellectual class who endured all kinds of sufferings from her age from her age of eight to her forty.
My parents were persecuted to death, were humiliated by my companions at school, and were framed by my husband after getting married... The world in which this woman lives can be called a hell.
As a woman who suffers all the hardships in hell, it is certainly natural to want to destroy that hell.
Put yourself in your shoes, if you are in that kind of black and white environment, will you still have a little hope and fantasy about that world?
If I were myself, I'm afraid I would have made the same choice, right?
"My name is Nasha, I want to stand up and speak for this grandma."
A little girl stood up and stood on the opposing defense lawyer's stage, becoming the first person to defend Lan Li except Luo Xin.
Many people in the audience recognized Nasha. This little girl was a little celebrity in the V-character club, a hero V who had left. She was the person she cared for the most during her lifetime. The person who knew Nasha also liked this kind and sensible little girl very much. Unexpectedly, Nasha dared to stand up and defend the devil. This...
"Brave little girl." Someone sighed in his heart.
On the stage, Nasha was timid, but she still said in a crisp voice:
"I want to say that this grandma is not guilty. She...she is just too desperate for us. She just chose the wrong way to change us and change the world."
"Uncle v once told me that the reason why our world has reached this point is not because aliens want to turn us into slaves and then get something from us."
"It is our own sin, evil, and greed that brings us to this point."
"This grandma, like us, is also a poor victim. If she had not suffered those injuries, she would have become a very kind person."
"But can punish her and kill her let go of the hatred in her heart? Can she really regret it?"
"No, she will still hate us."
"Will we forgive her after we kill her? No, we will hate her for a long time."
"So hatred will remain in you, me, him, everyone's hearts...it's hard to eliminate."
"But...we have not experienced enough suffering? For more than two thousand years, so many people have died, so many disasters and hatred are still there, and we will never stop."
“Can’t we live a good day?”
"We can't let go of hatred, choose forgiveness, and choose a brand new future?"
"When Uncle V died, he told me that he hoped that after overthrowing the Three Eyes, there would be no more hatred in this world, hatred would destroy everything!"
"He hopes that people choose to love, love themselves, love you, love him, love the world! Use love to rebuild everything we have lost!"
"So, I chose to let go of my hatred, I chose to forgive this grandma."
"I hope that everyone can also choose to forgive each other and together we will create a new world without hatred."
After Nasha finished speaking, the scene was extremely quiet.
In more than ten minutes, no one made any sound.
When a certain camera turned to Lan Li beside her, she found a drop of water appeared in the corner of her eyes.
On the first day, a total of five people stood up to defend Lan Li. These people were respected senior members of the V-character club.
