"What are you kidding" the female juror cried out in a lost voice: "My son is very well-behaved, how can he do anything to destroy the world" "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future" De Witz said calmly: "Besides, what about the future, you don't say it, only Thomas can predict the future, and what he says is what he says." ” "Just imagine, if Thomas really became an authority on the whole world in predicting the future, then casually judging the future of others is not a matter of one sentence."
"Even if your son does not destroy the world in the future, how can others believe the prophecy of Thomas, or your mother and son" "Believe me, when the day comes, Thomas will eventually become a prophet who does what he says, and the god who can tell the word will have countless blind and fanatical followers to help him slaughter anyone or anything that doesn't please him."
"And, of course, your son, who is about to destroy the world in twenty years."
"Besides, even if there really is a person who will destroy the world in twenty years, do we have the right to act before he does anything to harm others?"
"Can anyone here really kill a ten-year-old child who is very innocent in the present day with his own hands based on an assertion of how and how twenty years from now?"
"However, if you think that killing this child is unacceptable, then what is the essential difference between just shortening the time span to twenty seconds and allowing an adult to die without psychological pressure?"
"The so-called justifiable defense refers to the act taken against a person who is in the process of unlawful offense, and where an act to stop the unlawful offense causes a certain amount of damage to the unlawful offender, it is justified defense and does not bear criminal responsibility."
De Weitz had a cold face: "It's okay if you say I'm not close to people, but the law is the law, not a word or syllable can be changed, if a unified sentencing standard is lost, then the rule of law will not become the rule of man Sorry, I will never accept such a result" "At least until the moment Mr.
Myerlen was hit and killed, he did not commit any acts related to the crime, and since this is the case, this case can never be characterized as justified self-defense, but outright intentional homicide" "I'm done talking."
De Wittz nodded calmly.
De Weitz finished speaking, but there was no other sound in the courtroom for a while, not only the jury, but even the people in the auditorium were inexplicably silent, and the entire courtroom became silent.
Finally, it was the old judge who broke the silence, he opened his somewhat cloudy eyes, and slowly looked in the direction of the black star: "Defendant lawyer, you still have a chance to conclude your argument one last time." ” Heixing lowered his head, and when he raised it again, he laughed, but this time the smile looked slightly sour: "Lawyer DeWeitz is right. ” "People don't have to be responsible for things they haven't done."
"If from this point of view, my client really can't be regarded as legitimate defense, and his approach is really a bit excessive."
Yan Xiuze, who was in the auditor seat, widened his eyes and looked at Heixing in disbelief, was he going to admit defeat After saying this, Black Star turned to Thomas who was sitting in the dock with a solemn expression, and bowed deeply: "I'm sorry, I couldn't help you get rid of your guilt, but, I've really done my best." ” What is this Yan Xiuze looked at this scene a little stunned, he thought that he was still a little reversed, he was completely messy, and the black star who played with people's hearts in the palm of his hand really surrendered like this Hey, the verdict hasn't come down yet, don't you really make a final struggle, although De Witz's epilogue just now is really too powerful.
But soon, Yan Xiuze's mind quickly turned several times, and he suddenly found that even if he was replaced, it would be difficult to overturn the implicit logic in De Weitz's defense in a short period of time But what he didn't expect was that Thomas, who had been sitting calmly in the dock, still didn't change his color, nor did he have any anger or despair, but just nodded at the bowed black star: "It's okay." ” It's okay.
"Is it really okay?"
asked Blackstar, who still seemed to have a guilty look on his face, "Even though, you may be charged with intentional homicide later" When Thomas heard this, a smile appeared on his face that had not changed for thousands of years, he pursed his lips and said slowly: "In fact, the moment I stepped into the New York courthouse, I was already prepared for what the final outcome of this trial would be."
"Because realistically, I did kill an innocent person who didn't do me any harm."
"Even if this innocent person could turn into a heinous robbery and murderer in the next second, I really don't have the right to deprive him of his life before that."
"However, I don't regret what I did."
"If I had to do it all over again, I'd crash into it again."
"Even if it's a long sentence for intentional homicide," Blackstar asked rhetorically.
"Lawyer Zhou, you are a little mistaken."
Thomas shook his head: "It's not a logical chain that doesn't kill people in order to avoid being convicted. ” "Rather, it is precisely because I killed him that I have the opportunity to stand here and be judged by the law."
When Thomas said this, Black Star, who was still with a guilty look, seemed to change his face, and a complicated smile rippled at the corner of his mouth: "That's right, you're right" "Everyone, I don't know if you understand" Black Star suddenly turned in the direction of the most people, and smiled: "Actually, my client, from the very beginning of seeing that robber, has lost the best option for himself. ” "Either stop the car and be shot to death by this robber, or strike first, hit and kill this person first, and then be sent to court to accept the murder charges" "Acquittal is not so much the best outcome as a miracle to think about in a dream" "For my client, being charged with intentional homicide and being sentenced consequently is already an acceptable and least costly outcome for his client."
"According to the law, there is naturally nothing to argue with his approach; But I want to ask all of you, from a personal point of view, is that really the case?"
"Knowing the law and breaking the law is naturally not a behavior worth advocating, because according to our universal values, completely self-interested behavior conflicts with the collective interest, and the law is naturally to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the vast majority of people from infringement."
"But when your right to life is really threatened, can you really do anything that seriously infringes on your own interests in order to defend your inner moral system":
