Mystery: Order and Disorder

Chapter 20: court session

Of course, while seeking the "Dark Emperor" card, he would not give up buying formulas at the party.

Physical training doesn't require much attention, but when it comes to fighting and shooting, Grelint can't be distracted at all.

When I do something meaningful and I like, I often feel that time flies by quickly.

Grelint is like that today.

In the past, he lived in a peaceful environment, there was no war, and ordinary people did not have access to guns and fighting to the death, so he was very interested in these two.

When I was studying, before I knew it, a day passed.

Since he was going to be involved in the case of Barton's bodyguard killing the university lecturer by mistake tomorrow, and he didn't get enough sleep last night, Grelint didn't bother any more after eating and washing, but simply checked the little mouse's situation, and then Rest soon.

Two days have passed, and this young mouse is doing quite well. It has survived the most dangerous period of time!

"It's time to give it a name! What should it be called?"

———————————

The next day's trial was at the Western District Criminal Court, because the defendant Patton was charged with "instructing murder" to go to court.

To this, Grelint just wanted to say:

It's really outrageous!

The obvious situation is that it is impossible for the other party to win the lawsuit, it is just to see how much compensation can be claimed.

Court trial scene.

Grelint is flanked by Barrister Benedict and his real paralegal, Crystal.

In front is the plaintiff, Eller, the son of the late Backlund University lecturer, a handsome man about the same age as Grelint.

And the defendant, Mr. Patton, the tycoon.

In fact, Grelint only saw the client's appearance today. He is not tall, slightly bloated, with simple features and a light blue animal skin hat.

Directly opposite is the defense attorney, Jason and his assistant.

To be honest, Jason frowned when he saw Benedict, and the two thick black eyebrows almost came together.

To the right and above of Grelint is the trial judge in this case, Joseph, and the judge's assistant.

On the left are several rows of relatives and friends of both parties and people who don't know the truth. In order to reflect the fairness and justice of the trial, openness is an inevitable choice.

"First of all, ask the plaintiff to state your reasons for the complaint. The plaintiff's lawyer and the defendant are silenced." The judge's assistant began to advance the trial process.

Eller is not a professional, but they have prepared the manuscript in advance, so the speech is well organized.

The general idea is to state the circumstances at the time of the incident, without deviating from the known facts.

"My reason for the complaint is that when the so-called gangsters and the bodyguard Brenda all ran away, just listening to Barton's statement alone cannot restore the real situation at that time."

This is indeed the case. Barton was the only one who could explain the situation at that time, and there were no other witnesses. And he is the client at the same time, and his language is not convincing.

But after the incident, Patton called the police in time, and the police made a detailed on-site record.

The opponent's lawyer Jason also filed a complaint, arguing that Barton should bear considerable responsibility no matter what.

"The real situation is not clear now, but the possibility of Mr. Dean's murder cannot be ruled out. According to the charge of instigating the murder, he should be sentenced to death or exiled. At the same time, he should compensate my client, Mr. Eller. I think 3000 Pounds are reasonable."

Because after the police verification, it was confirmed that Dean was indeed killed by Brenda. The reason was that a professional confirmed that Patton did not use a pistol, and there was only one kind of bullet at the scene, and Patton also confirmed that the gang did not use a gun. .

Therefore, the other party did not try to falsely accuse Barton of being the direct murderer of Mr. Dean's death.

For Benedict, the tricky part is that the truth of the matter is not clear, and only Barton survived the scene.

It was the turn of the defendant and the defendant's lawyer to speak.

It's a pity that Patton can only state the situation at that time again, and still can't find evidence to exonerate himself.

Generally speaking, for such cases where the circumstances of the case are completely unclear, the judge will choose to postpone the trial until the fugitive is caught.

But Patton, as a rich businessman, is of course unwilling, because as a major suspect, he must be held in custody.

After a few months, he lost more than three thousand pounds.

This is also an extremely disadvantageous place for him. The other party is not in a hurry, he is in a hurry.

The case was actually stuck here. The lawyers on both sides could neither prove Patton's guilt nor prove his innocence.

According to strict laws, this can only be postponed.

But in fact, the other party is not willing to extend it indefinitely, because they can't actually give Patton's motive for committing the crime.

Generally speaking, I know that what Barton said is the real situation, so in any case, getting compensation first is the most important thing.

"The reasons for your complaint are not sufficient. It is impossible to determine that my client, Mr. Patton, is guilty. I reserve the right to sue you for false accusation."

Benedict can refute the opponent's defense, but he can't exonerate Patton.

"Attorney Jason, I have to remind you that the police investigation result is that Mr. Dean died of Brenda's shooting. And Mr. Barton and Mr. Dean did not know each other before the crime, so it can be determined that Mr. Barton did not have any motive for committing the crime. ."

"It's true, but I think that the gang, the Philis, who really clashed with Brenda, didn't die, but the innocent Mr. Dean was killed. This is a great doubt."

Jason started sophistry, trying to increase "the possibility that Patton has committed a crime", and it was easy to ask for more property later.

"At the same time, assuming that everything Barton said is true, then we can also assume that Brenda accidentally killed Mr. Dean because of the mission while performing the task of 'protecting Barton'."

"In this way, even if what he said is the truth, he should be held responsible for the consequences of Brenda's mission."

The audience who didn't know the truth began to think that what Jason said really made sense, and talked in a low voice.

"Like this, when you hire a worker to build a house, and the other party accidentally falls and hurts while performing your task of 'building a house', of course you will also be liable for compensation."

His focus has shifted to "liability for compensation", which is a civil liability, not a criminal liability.

Benedict is quite powerless about this. He is an upright barrister who is good at defeating opponents from a legal level, not logic.

He re-examined his point of view: "If there is no clear evidence that a gentleman is guilty, the law should prove him innocent."

"Yes, the law considers him innocent, but as a gentleman's conscience and morality tell us that he should bear greater responsibility."

Jason added again that this was echoed by a group of melon eaters who called themselves "gentlemen".

Yes, Eller and Jason didn't really intend to send Patton to prison or exile in the first place, and it didn't do them any good.

And they knew that Patton really had no motive for committing the crime.

Jason bundled the concepts of a gentleman and "compensation". Benedict was hard to argue with, and he was also a real gentleman.

After hearing the arguments of both sides, Judge Joseph thought for a moment and raised his judgment hammer...
