Chapter 489 Jury System
"Oh! So I can also judge the case!"
Lu Chapo stood up, she was still thinking about it, she had already figured out how to brag at the booth tomorrow.
It's really full of participation!
The butcher said: "You and the old woman are still addicted."
Lu Chapo snorted: "So what, you can control it. I will come to see the next trial. Maybe the little chief judge will let me in to help. Besides, didn't you come in too? "
"I thought it was too crowded outside, how comfortable it is to sit here and watch."
"I can understand why there is such a trial."
Qin Zhongshou stood up and hummed softly.
Cao Dongdong hurriedly asked, "What does Uncle Qin say?"
Qin Zhongshou said: "He tried this way to show off."
"exactly!"
Cao Dongdong nodded again and again, "Zhang San likes to show off, and in the whole world, only this yamen can steal the show from him."
Qin Zhongshou asked: "What's the clever strategy in the Yamen?"
"It's very simple, just spend money to hire him."
".!"
This case has been tried before, and it was also heard in open court, and some people watched the trial, but the reaction of the people is not as good as it is now, and it is controversial, not one-sided.
The change is that the trial in the imperial court is very considerate of the feelings of the observers, so that the observers are very clear about the ins and outs of the whole case, so that they are immersed in it, which is why there are such long-lasting applause and cheers.
They are no longer spectators, but participants.
"It's disgusting. When he was Er Bi, he stole all the limelight. No one noticed the presiding judge. Now that he is the presiding judge, he should steal the limelight. It's really unreasonable."
The procurator Chen Qi was packing up the documents, and when he heard the applause behind him, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he said angrily.
Another procurator, Wang Shen, snorted, "Isn't that right? If he and the others felt that the charge of manslaughter was reluctant, he should have said it when we prosecuted it. Saying this in court is obviously embarrassing for our procuratorate. "
These inspectors were very upset, and they felt that they had been set aside by Zhang Fei.
Su Zhe glanced at them and said, "Everyone is right. Go and check the regulations of the public prosecutor's law. If the imperial court violates the rules, we can also sue the imperial court."
".?"
"That's not necessary."
"The case has been settled, so don't make any further complications."
Su Zhe said: "For our procuratorate, it is not about success or failure, but about fairness."
"The judge looks young, but he is so thoughtful. It's rare, rare!"
"That's right! What he just said is exactly what I worry about. Even if Mrs. Wu and Zhang are justifiable, if she is acquitted, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles. As the chief judge, I should also consider this matter. The impact of the judgment."
"Well, this verdict is really convincing."
Zhuo Qun looked at the group of white-haired old men in front of him, he was full of praise for this verdict, and couldn't help saying to Cai Yanqing who was beside him: "Prefect, it seems that what the letter said is true, that kid really has a lot of tricks."
Cai Yanqing nodded with a smile: "Yes! His ultimate goal is to commute the sentence of Mrs. Wu and Zhang, but if he directly sentenced, I'm afraid it will attract criticism, but now, people remember him as being selfless, fair and strict. .”
Zhuo Qun suddenly realized, "That's right, that's right, the procuratorate charged manslaughter, and Lu Chapo and the others thought it was innocent, but in the end he sentenced it to manslaughter, which is the most serious crime, but the punishment is lighter Because of the penalty of negligent manslaughter, the ordinary people outside and the old masters inside are convinced, and it really earns people's hearts."
I couldn't help giving Zhang Fei a thumbs up in my heart.
In the beginning, the difficulty of this case was how to judge, and it seemed that no judgment was right.
However, after several twists and turns, Zhang Fei's judgment was just right, and not many people questioned it.
The reason is that Zhang Fei finally gave Wu Zhang an additional sentence, not a reduced sentence.
Cai Yanqing asked again: "What do you think of the way the Public Procuratorate handles cases?"
Zhuo Qun pondered for a while, and said: "When I come to the court, this method is also in line with the law of my ancestors. The procuratorate and the police station perform their own duties. It is true that it can better prevent unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, but it cannot avoid its disadvantages. .A trial like this requires sufficient evidence and a very fair trial. Otherwise, it will be difficult to convict. If you encounter a complicated case, how long will it be delayed."
In the past, when the magistrate tried a case, the magistrate could use various routines to find the real culprit. In this way, the chief judge didn't have many routines to play with. He had to produce enough evidence, which must be troublesome.
The ancestral method of the Song Dynasty can indeed avoid many problems, but at the same time it will also breed disasters of redundancy, and the efficiency is also a mess.
Inheriting its advantages will inevitably inherit its disadvantages.
Cai Yanqing frowned slightly and said, "But this requires financial support!"
Zhuo Qun said: "It seems that the expenditure of the public security bureau belongs to the local finance, isn't it our responsibility?"
Cai Yanqing thought for a while, and said, "We have to talk to them about this at that time, and our Hezhong Mansion has to pay for the Northwest Army's finances."
God is fair, when you think of a more perfect result, then you have to spend more time and money.
by the lake.
"lady!"
"Husband!"
Wu Zhang, who had just been released, looked up at Wu Lei who was running towards him, and took back the steps he couldn't take just now.
"lady!"
Wu Lei who ran over took the initiative to take Wu Zhang's hand, choked up and said, "I'm sorry for you."
"No, no, it's because I'm sorry for you, I shouldn't hide it from you."
The husband and wife looked at each other full of guilt, they had something to say, but they didn't know how to say it, and finally they hugged each other and cried.
In fact, the husband and wife are very bitter in their hearts. Wu Lei actually knows his wife's difficulties in his heart, but on the other side is his mother. He can only cry, and he cannot stand up and say a fair word for his wife.
And Wu Zhang also knows Wu Lei's character, and feels full of guilt towards Wu Lei in his heart.
And on the corridor not far away, Zhang Fei, Xu Zhiqian, Gao Wenyin, Xiaotao and the others looked at the crying couple from a distance, and they couldn't help sighing again.
Gao Wenyin sighed quietly: "Although their husband and wife have been reunited, but the family that was originally poor and poor, encountered such a change, I'm afraid it will make things worse."
As she spoke, she turned to Zhang Fei, "Sanlang, why don't we quietly send them some money to help them tide over their current difficulties for the time being."
Zhang Fei frowned slightly, looking a little confused.
If the couple can't get through this difficulty, the publicity effect of this judgment will be greatly reduced, but if they help, will they give it back in the future?
In today's society, there are many people who are more miserable than them!
"no need!"
Xu Zhiqian said suddenly.
Zhang Fei looked at Xu Zhiqian in surprise, "Zhiqian, what did you say?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "I said it's not necessary!"
Zhang Fei asked in surprise, "Why?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "Because someone will give them money at that time."
Gao Wenyin hurriedly asked, "Who?"
"It's those squires and gentry."
Xu Zhiqian said: "This case is well known to everyone, and most people sympathize with the couple very much. Someone will definitely lend a helping hand to them in order to gain fame."
Suddenly, a person behind him laughed and said, "Wonderful! Wonderful! Mrs. Zhang is so smart, she doesn't let her eyebrows down."
Everyone looked back and saw Su Zhe, Cai Jing, Fu Shichun and others walking over.
Xu Zhiqian was also embarrassed, "Mr. Su Xiao won the prize, but I have seen many such things before."
Those country gentry and gentry, why do they maintain their reputation in the local area? Isn't it just relying on this kind of thing.Who would know that Xu Zhiqian helped others secretly like this.
But at this moment, if you go to give a little help to the Wu family, it will spread throughout the city the next day. As long as the squires in Gui Township are not stupid, they will never miss this opportunity.
Xu Zhiqian has been willing to do good deeds since she was a child, she has seen many such things, it is not wisdom, it is pure experience.
Seeing Su Zhe and the others coming, Gao Wenyin tactfully took Xiaotao and the others away.
But Zhang Fei invited them to the side hall.
"Prosecutor Su won't blame me, will he?"
Zhang Fei asked with a smile.
"Where does this come from?"
Su Zhe said with a chuckle: "The lawsuit is the responsibility of our procuratorate, and the judgment is the responsibility of your imperial court, but there is no rule that the imperial court must obey the judgment of our procuratorate."
Strictly speaking, Zhang Fei did not side with them. The acceptance of the prosecution by the procuratorate only means that the imperial court accepted the charge at that time. The specific verdict will not be known until after the trial.
Although there is a tacit understanding between the two sides in this case, it is also completely compliant.
It's just that everyone knows that Zhang Fei has already thought about how to sentence, otherwise, with his memory, it is impossible to remember those regulations.
Zhang Fei said hehe: "But other people in the procuratorate may not think so."
Su Zhe smiled and said nothing.
But he really didn't care, on the contrary, he was very happy, because they are in a relationship of mutual supervision, there is no need to be embarrassed, everyone is fair and arbitrarily judged.
Ye Zuqia was rather dissatisfied: "Teacher, why didn't you ask our opinion before the judgment?"
There are five people sitting on it, and it turns out that you alone take the limelight, and they have no sense of participation.
Zhang Fei immediately asked: "What do you think?"
Ye Zuqia was stunned for a moment, with an embarrassing smile on his face, "What the students mean is that the rough work of searching regulations can be left to the students, since the teacher doesn't like to do such things anyway."
Zhang Fei asked again: "Then what regulations will you search for?"
".!"
"Why don't you make a sound?"
Zhang Fei asked seriously.
"Students don't know."
The four of them lowered their heads at the same time, feeling remorse in their hearts, why did they say so much.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Don't say you don't know, in fact, I don't have a correct answer. Even if I find out the truth, I can actually uphold Cai Zhifu's judgment. This is not a wrong judgment. Because it is difficult to verify, a person's heart What exactly is he thinking? We currently judge Wu Zhang’s inner thoughts based on the neighbor’s confession, but there is no evidence that can directly prove whether Wu Zhang’s heart wants Wu’s mother to die or not.
Since no judgment is wrong, or it can be said that it is not right, and this is not a special case, but a widespread problem, then we must seriously consider what our judgment will bring to the entire society. Impact. "
Ye Zuqia and the others nodded slightly.
Zhang Fei asked abruptly: "Then when the question comes, can we think it through?"
Cai Jingdao: "That's why the teacher selected those common people to help the teacher make a judgment."
Zhang Fei nodded, and then said: "I also plan to establish this system to specialize in trying cases that are difficult to judge."
Su Zhe was surprised and said, "How can this be done?"
