Chapter 2881: Judgment

Finally, the lengthy and boring indictment was finished. Not to mention the ordinary people who were hearing the trial, even Jiang Fei himself, who was sitting on the trial seat, was already drowsy.

After reading the indictment, it was time for the magistrate's defense lawyer to appear, but this time, Jiang Fei really felt that the consul had gone too far, because the magistrate's defense lawyer actually turned his back on the court. Not only did he not defend the magistrate, Moreover, he cursed the magistrate for his crimes. How could this be a lawyer defending his client?

"The consul's eating looks a little ugly..." Jiang Fei thought to himself, but in fact, this was not arranged by the consul, but the lawyer's own opinion. He felt that no matter how hard he tried to defend this trial, he would not It is impossible to win this case, and even his defense will have no effect.

So in order not to appear too incompetent, and in order not to affect his reputation in the profession of lawyers, the lawyer decided to turn his back on the court, and he began to justly accuse the crimes committed by the magistrate. In his words, That is, although he is the defense lawyer of the sheriff, the justice in his heart does not allow him to do any defense for this villain. Even if he sacrifices his defense victory rate, he will send his client to the gallows.

"Tsk tsk tsk...that's amazing!" Jiang Fei had long heard that some people in the lawyer profession were very shameless, and today he really opened his eyes.

Seeing his lawyer pouring dirty water on his body and the magistrate's expressionless face, he has long been numb. It was his last attempt to beg Jiang Fei to let him meet the consul yesterday. He couldn't even see the consul. At this time, the magistrate had already understood his fate, and he had given up fighting.

"Shameless!" Lina yelled at the lawyer.

"Hmph! Why do you bitch scold me? You are just using your father's power to dominate our city! Now that your father is dead, you are too!" the lawyer said fiercely to Lina.

"Even if we die, we die because of the failure of our career, and what about you? Although you are alive, you are living in a meager way!" Lina said disdainfully.

"Your Honor! She attacked me personally!" The lawyer shamelessly complained to Jiang Fei. In his opinion, Jiang Fei, as the presiding judge, must have been arranged by the consul. Obviously he was with the chief judge, so Jiang Fei would definitely help him.

"If she insulted the public prosecutor, then I will definitely make a fair ruling, but as their defense lawyer, you should be on their side? It's not easy for me to intervene in your internal disputes, and you were the one who made the decision just now. If you insist on insulting Miss Lina, I think I should punish you first." Jiang Fei said lightly.

"Your Honor?!" The lawyer was stunned. In his opinion,

Jiang Fei should be with him, how could he speak for Lina?

"Let's continue the trial." Jiang Fei ignored the lawyer. In Jiang Fei's eyes, this trial was a farce with a pre-arranged result. Now he just needs to wait for the result to be announced.

"Yes... Your Honor..." Although the lawyer was dissatisfied with Jiang Fei's preference for Lina, he didn't dare to say anything more. After all, Jiang Fei's authority could not be challenged in court.

Then the trial continued, and the public prosecutor began to read Lina's crimes. Because of the agreement reached with the consul, the public prosecutor's charges against Lina were all minor crimes, and the most serious ones were cover-up charges. There was no mention of Lina's important role in the rebel army, nor did she lead someone to assassinate the consul.

In the ensuing debate session, the lawyer continued to pour dirty water on the magistrate as usual. In the end, Jiang Fei couldn't stand it anymore, and expelled him from the court in a fit of anger.

Although the lawyer was kicked out, the magistrate had obviously resigned himself to his fate. He didn't defend himself at all. On the contrary, Lina kept defending her father and angrily denounced the consul's evil deeds. It was blocked by the media. Although there were reporters interviewing, this court trial was not broadcast live. The content had to be reviewed by the review team sent by the consul before it could be broadcast to the common people.

And those ordinary people who came to observe are also loyal fans of the consul, so ordinary people will not know the real content of the trial, what they know is what the consul first let them know.

The longer the trial went on, the more boring Jiang Fei felt. Sometimes, he felt sorry for Lina, because her impassioned defense would not have any effect at all, not only would it not have the slightest impact on the trial, but even None will be known to anyone outside the courtroom.

On the contrary, the magistrate of human life is more thorough. He really has to accept his fate, because in the entire gamma space, no one can save him. The only person who has a chance to save him is Jiang Fei, but Jiang Fei He is not willing to pay an extra price to save him.

In the end, the result of the trial came out, which had nothing to do with the process in the middle. This result was already doomed long before the trial!

"Stand up!" Following the judge's voice, everyone stood up, including the reporters and the public in the hearing booth.

Jiang Fei also stood up, holding the result of the trial in his hand.

"After the jury's discussion, I'm going to announce the results of the trial!" Jiang Fei took a deep breath, and then continued to read: "The former sheriff Rodmore committed treason, conspiracy to subvert the country, and homicide! War crimes... Countless crimes And punished, sentenced to hang! Execute immediately!"

"Lina, guilty of cover-up, sentenced to one year in prison, suspended for two years!"

"Ah?!" Unlike the ashen-faced magistrate, Lina's eyes widened. She never thought that she would be sentenced so lightly.

"..." Jiang Fei didn't speak, but nodded to Lina.

Lina cast a pleading look at Jiang Fei, obviously hoping that he could save her father as well, but Jiang Fei just smiled wryly and shook his head, this is not something he can do.

"Your Honor, I beg you to sentence me to death. I am willing to be hanged together with my father," Lina said.

"Do you think the law is child's play? Do you think the court is a place to play games? The judgment has been handed down, and this is the final judgment, and no appeal is allowed!" Jiang Fei said with a serious face, although it is very important that the first instance is the final one. It was against the rules, but it was specially approved by the consul. In a near-dictatorial regime, dealing with rebels like this is nothing new. Many people were even executed without trial.
