Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 85 Attacking Hobart
At around nine o'clock in the morning, with a 27-year-old young judge sitting on the bench, Bruce's intentional homicide case officially opened.

Hobert felt the judge's coercion, and he suspected that the judge was the real "judge", and he came to the court to play.

The public prosecutor spoke first, setting out Bruce's charges: "...the defendant threw approximately 8 pounds of explosives into Mr. Wyent's yard.

"Before the trial, I asked professionals that 8 pounds of gunpowder was enough to blow up Mr. Wyent's house and make his family suffer a catastrophe in their sleep.

"In addition, the huge explosion could spread to Mr. Wyent's neighbors, injuring them to varying degrees, and even cause a fire, causing more casualties.

"Your Honor, we believe that the defendant's behavior has seriously affected the personal and property safety of dozens of citizens, and it is a typical crime of bombing and intentional homicide!

"Our speech is over."

The judge said: "Now let the defendant's lawyer speak."

Hobert, who was wearing a black lawyer's suit and a wig, got up and said, "Your Honor, all the observers, I really did not expect that the prosecutor could make such absurd conclusions!"

As soon as these words came out, the relatives of the Huai Ente family in the auditorium immediately became agitated, and some even cursed in a low voice.

The judge said to Hobert: "Attorney for the defendant, please pay attention to your words."

"Your Honor, what I said is the truth." Hobert said, "The evidence provided by the prosecution is on the table in front of you. I believe the prosecution has already confirmed that the fuze was made of paper. Even if it is ignited, it is difficult to burn to the bomb, and the fuze is not connected with the gunpowder, but glued to the outside of the bomb.

"Everyone, can such a bomb be detonated? No matter how powerful the gunpowder is, this bomb will not explode at all!

"The key point is that Mr. Bruce did not ignite the fuze at all, that is to say, he did not commit any specific criminal acts subjectively, nor did he use the gunpowder as a bomb.

"I need to remind the public prosecutor that the crime of bombing is a specific dangerous crime. Unless the plaintiff provides evidence to prove that the bomb will definitely be detonated, or Mr. Bruce has detonated it subjectively, the prosecution's complaint is not specific enough and the crime of bombing is not established!

"Since the crime of bombing is not convicted, neither is the crime of intentional homicide. So I think the prosecutor's conclusion is very absurd!"

Immediately, the audience heard curses from Wyent's family and friends, as well as booing and applause from Bruce's friends and family.

The judge lightly hammered the gavel: "Silence! Defendant's lawyer, do you have anything else to say?"

After everyone quieted down, Hobert said: "Your Honor, our speech is over."

Then the public prosecutor spoke. He continued to describe the hazards and instability of explosives, and he still believed that these explosives posed a threat to the Wyatt family's personal property.

When it was Hobert's turn to speak, he smiled and said, "My lord, the public prosecutor, shall we conduct an investigative experiment and throw this evidence at me to see if I will be blown to death?"

Hobert firmly grasped the loophole in the characterization of the bombing crime, forcing the public prosecutor to change his strategy: "Your Honor, it is very likely that the defendant committed a crime of passion, which is why he failed to properly handle the bomb's fuze. But the defendant turned to Wynn The moment the bomb was thrown in Mr. Te's yard, he has committed the crime of intentional injury!"

This is abandoning the prosecution of the crime of bombing and sticking to the "line of defense" of the crime of intentional homicide.

"The prosecution, we might as well make such an idea." Hobert said, "I yelled at you, 'I'm going to kill you', and then threw a pistol with no bullets at you, do you think I Is this intentional homicide?
"Mr. Bruce may have grudges against the Wyatt family, but he has not taken effective action. Everyone, when will you have grudges against someone and you will face more than 20 years in prison?"

(If convicted of manslaughter, Bruce will face at least 20 years in prison.)
Hobert asked the prosecutor: "Are you trying to deprive people of their emotional power? Even demons and evil gods are not so cruel. Why do you want to do this?"

Hobert's wonderful thought experiment and defense drew applause and cheers from the auditorium.

The public prosecutor gradually couldn't resist Hobert's "offensive": "The defendant's lawyer, please don't quibble, the defendant resented the Wyatt family and threw bombs at them, the causal relationship is established, this is an indisputable fact.

"Does the defendant's lawyer think that someone who threw a bomb at your house is not guilty?"

"Guilty, of course." Hobert said.

Everyone was a little surprised by this answer, and even exclaimed a few times.

However, Hobert continued: "Mr. Bruce is charged with purchasing and possessing dangerous products. According to the relevant laws, he should be fined from 10 pounds to 30 pounds and detained for not less than [-] days but not more than three months.

"As for throwing a bomb at the Wyatt family, it's a false accusation! It can't be called a bomb at all, and Mr. Bruce has no intention to kill at all, and it doesn't constitute a crime of intentional homicide!"

At this point in the trial, Hobert's defense of innocence was basically successful, and it was difficult for the public prosecutor to launch an effective "offensive" in the subsequent defense.

In the spectator seats, Bruce's relatives and friends gradually had smiles on their faces, while Huai Ente's family and friends gradually became serious.

When making his final statement, Hobert said: "Your Honor, this case seems to be arguing over a bomb like a model, but it actually means that the fault tolerance rate of the citizens of Backlund is getting lower and lower. If My client was really arrested and imprisoned for a prank, and the open and tolerant spirit of the Loen Kingdom will be severely hit!"

The judge was moved after hearing these words, and finally the judge announced the sentence: "The public prosecutor did not provide enough evidence to prove the defendant's intention to kill, and did not form a specific dangerous crime conclusion. In this court's judgment, the public prosecutor's two demands The crimes of bombing and intentional homicide were not established.

"But because the defendant purchased and possessed dangerous goods, and the circumstances were serious, and he had the tendency to hurt others, he was fined 30 pounds and detained for three months!"

Bruce's family and friends were relieved. A fine of 30 pounds was not much to them, and three months was not a long time. This sentence was much stronger than the conviction of the accused manslaughter.

Huai Ente, who was in the plaintiff's seat, was not very satisfied with the result, and shouted loudly that he wanted to appeal, but the judge ignored Huai Ente, put away his documents, and left the judge's seat unhurriedly.

At this time, Hobert was in a very strange state. The judge's sentencing just now seemed to be constantly feedbacking Hobert's use of the law and the loopholes in the plaintiff's appeal.

When the sentence was finished, Hobert seemed to hear an illusory broken sound suddenly. At this moment, he felt that his body and spirit had been sublimated.

The "Lawyer" potion was completely digested.
