Chapter 61 Trial
Ten o'clock in the morning the next day. M//.//
The Interstellar Alliance court opened.
The case about the adventurer's trial has spread all over the system planet, and I don't know how many people gathered here, and some reporters even waited at the gate with long guns and short cannons.
When Shen Yi got out of the car, the flashing lights lit up, and some reporters rushed through the wall and handed the microphone to Shen Yi: "General Shen Yi, what do you think of this trial? What do you think the court has done to you?" Was the trial justified?"
Shen Yi straightened his neckline and replied: "For the Star Alliance to use a trial method to investigate this incident, I personally express my absolute support. I am willing to accept the alliance's trial against me under any legal provisions and bear all the consequences."
This answer made the audience uproarious, and the reporter shouted: "So you admit that you started the war?"
"That has to be decided by the court." Shen Yi replied with a smile.
Some people wanted to continue asking questions, but the soldiers in charge of supervision had already pushed away the crowded crowd on both sides, and cleared a path to bring Shen Yi and others in.
The court was already full of people, and nearly half of them were adventurers, including Colonel Cliff Hua Tianrui, Ashura Meryl and others.
Wei Chibai is also here. He has entered the fifth difficulty for half a month, but the infrastructure has been completed. This time he also came here to watch the trial.
Hua Tianrui gave Shen Yi a thumbs up, indicating that what he asked has been completed.
Shen Yi nodded with a smile, and walked to the dock first, while Wen Rou and the others waited outside the court.
There is a judge/judge at the head of the court, with assistant judges on both sides, and behind the judge's seat, there is another row of seats, but there is no one on it, but a communicator is placed on each seat.
It seems that although the Supreme Council pays attention to this matter, it still does not appear directly, nor does it directly preside over it, but only pays attention to the trial in this way.
In the middle of the judge's seat and the auditorium, there is a jury composed of twelve jurors.
What surprised Shen Yi was that the evil emperor was also present.
...The Star Alliance really took great pains.
There is a strict process for selecting jurors. People who have any relationship with the plaintiff or the defendant are absolutely not allowed to appear on the jury. It is best not to have even heard of them.
to ensure absolute justice.
The evil emperor would actually become a juror. It can only be said that this law is like a child's play, and it also confirms the Star Alliance's determination to punish him.
But Shen Yi didn't care about it, he even greeted the evil emperor: "Hi!"
The judge immediately said: "Defendant, you are not allowed to have any form of contact with the jurors."
Shen Yi spread his hands: "It's just to say hello to an old friend."
Seeing that Shen Yi was in place, the chief/judge knocked a few times with his gavel to signify silence, and the trial began.
Perhaps because of the large number of duplications, the trial process is not much different from that on Earth. The prosecutor first files a complaint, and then the defense lawyer defends. The only difference is probably the legal provisions cited. There is still a big difference between the Alliance and the Earth.
Since Shen Yi defended himself, there was no defense lawyer on his side.
At this moment, the Prosecutor is making an impassioned speech, angrily denouncing Shen Yi for initiating a war. ()
His emotional expression was quite passionate, and his words were even more aggressive, bluntly saying that Shen Yi was the chief culprit who started the war, and he pushed all the faults on Shen Yi.
After he finished his statement, the judge turned to Shen Yi: "Defendant, according to the prosecutor's allegations, do you admit that you launched an attack on the Star Alliance transport ship?"
Shen Yi replied slowly: "I deny this accusation."
"But according to the investigation, before the battle, you used an electromagnetic pulse and caused communication interference to the alliance transport ship."
"Yes, I did. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to your fleet. I am glad that there were no casualties caused by the electromagnetic interference. Of course, I am still willing to express my sincerest apologies to the alliance. "
There was a lot of laughter in the courtroom, and the judge had to strike several times with his gavel to show his silence.
Then the judge continued: "But you were aware of the possible consequences before the attack, didn't you?"
"Is there?" Shen Yi sneered: "The only consequence I know is that the attack will not kill anyone, it will only bring those damn ghost fighters out of the ghostly state."
"That's still offensive. As you and I know, electronic warfare is the beginning of war."
"Electronic warfare for paralysis, Your Honor, does not include fratricide."
"But at least it hurt, and accidental injury is also offensive. You should be aware of this before you do this." The judge's words were obviously biased.
"I said I will apologize." Shen Yi spread his hands.
There was laughter again in the courtroom.
Only Hua Tianrui Cliff and others frowned.
On the surface, Shen Yi seems to have sharp teeth, but what Shen Yi said is actually tantamount to admitting in disguise that before the electromagnetic attack, he knew that it would affect Uhtred's ship.
This is extremely unfavorable to Shen Yi's statement of "self-defense and counterattack".
Sure enough, taking this opportunity, the prosecutor began to point out that the attack was initiated by Shen Yi, and Utred's attack was just a misfire caused by the attack on the minefield.
He confirmed the huge difference in behavior between the two by "Shen Yi knew in advance that electromagnetic attacks would affect the transport fleet" and "Shen Yi would take the initiative to rush into minefields when Uhtred didn't know that attacking minefields", and played Juggernaut for this. The video when the number is advancing.
"Mr. Shen Yi, do you admit that when Uhtred ordered the attack on the minefield, you took the initiative to order the warship to approach the minefield?"
"Yes, I admit it, Your Honor." Shen Yi replied calmly.
There was a big uproar.
"In other words, you admitted that you were deliberately inducing the attack of the transport fleet and taking the opportunity to counterattack?"
"Yes." Shen Yi still replied calmly.
"What the hell is going on?" Cliff and the others almost went crazy.
Shen Yi is beginning to admit the charges against him!
The prosecutor also seemed to be startled by the progress of the matter, he rushed to Shen Yi's side: "Then do you admit that after Lieutenant General Addison sent you a truce request, you gave the order to continue firing?"
The judge immediately said: "Prosecutors, please pay attention, it is not yet the time for you to ask questions freely, the defendant does not have to answer this question."
"It doesn't matter, I can answer." Shen Yi said: "I admit that I asked my subordinates to kill the transport ship and detain Uhtred."
"This is crazy, Shen Yi, what are you doing?" Wei Chibai stood up and shouted.
The judge slammed the gavel down: "Silence, if you make any more noise, you will be expelled from court!"
Shen Yi made an apologetic gesture, Wei Zhangbo snorted and sat down angrily.
This bastard wants to defend himself, is that how he defends?
The judge then said: "Now we are entering the free questioning session. The prosecutor can ask the defendant freely, but please note that it is limited to incidents related to this case."
"Thank you, Your Honor." The young blond prosecutor stood up complacently.
At this point in the matter, the prosecutor felt that he had won.
To be honest, he was a little dissatisfied with Shen Yi's performance, because the opponent was too weak, so weak that he was almost powerless to resist.
For this accusation, he has made a lot of preparations, investigated a lot of specific incidents, and even prepared a lot of witnesses. He can be sure that no matter how Shen Yi defends, he will not be able to escape from his hands. This will become his famous battle. .
But as it stands now, even witnesses don't need to appear in court, and he is about to win.
A victory like this is really unfulfilling.
Despite this, the prosecutor still stood in front of Shen Yi: "Mr. Shen Yi, after the battle, you ordered the Yamato ship to be taken away. Do you know that your actions have been suspected of illegally embezzling the property of the Star Alliance?"
"I didn't take the Yamato ship with me, I just dismantled it for safety needs." Unexpectedly, Shen Yi did not admit the accusation, which made the prosecutor stunned.
"But your actions have caused the Star Alliance to suffer heavy losses."
"Yes, I also lost a lot because of this." Shen Yi shrugged.
"What did you lose?"
"Lots of ammo."
"..."
Laughter again.
Shen Yi said seriously: "Yamato is a warship. I don't think that attacking an enemy warship during a battle is an act of destroying or occupying property. This statement is absurd. It does not belong to civilian property, and there is no illegal occupation."
The prosecutor finally got some interest: "Then Mr. Shen Yi, before you gave the attack command, did you think that the consequences of the command might trigger a war between adventurers and the Star Alliance?"
Shen Yi replied: "I never thought that my actions would trigger a war. The relationship between the Star Alliance and the adventurers is interdependent. We fight against our enemy, the Zerg. Individual events are not enough to lead to a conflict between the adventurers and the Star Alliance. The war broke out between the two countries, and the facts have proved this point..."
Shen Yi pointed to the twelve jurors on the jury.
Yes, although Shen Yi and Utred fought, but when it comes to the overall war between the Star Alliance and the adventurers, this matter still does not exist.
Another denial.
"But you can't deny that this destroys the friendship and relationship between the two parties, and may affect subsequent cooperation." The prosecutor said without giving an inch.
"Yes, I admit it."
Big uproar again.
Shen Yi actually admitted it again!
"This bastard...what the hell is he trying to do?" Even Cliff was speechless this time.
Asura said suddenly: "That's what he wants, I can feel it."
Hearing this, Hua Tianrui realized something, and he murmured: "The crime of destroying the united front."
"What?" Cliff didn't understand.
Hua Tianrui murmured: "The crime of sabotaging the United Front! He wants this charge. He refuses to admit that he caused the war, and refuses to admit that he took property, but he admits that he destroyed the friendship between the two parties... He wants the other party to be tried on this charge." Himself. He gave that prosecutor a chance, and if he wasn't an idiot, he'd take it."
"Why?" Everyone was dumbfounded.
"How do I know!" Hua Tianrui said angrily.
Shen Yi asked him to use his relationship to sue himself for the crime, he thought it would give Shen Yi something to use.
But now it seems that Shen Yi really wants to be charged with this crime!
What is he trying to do?
The prosecutor also seemed to have no understanding of Shen Yi.
He looked at Shen Yi, and finally shook his head: "I have nothing more to ask, I request to ask the next defendant."
Shen Yi has already admitted part of the crime, that's enough.
The Star Alliance didn't want him to die, they just needed him to plead guilty and take the opportunity to punish him.
Which crime is punished?
It does not matter.
At least not to the Star League.
So Shen Yi was taken out, Wen Rou came in.
This time she was prosecuted as an accomplice who assisted Shen Yi in attacking the fleet.
Perhaps it was because Shen Yi's performance made the prosecutor quite disappointed, so that his enthusiasm when he filed the complaint also diminished a lot.
When she started to ask Wenrou, Wenrou replied: "I deny all the accusations against me. The attack on the fleet was Shen Yi's personal behavior from the beginning to the end. It has nothing to do with my Broken Blade team. We have never supported his actions from the beginning. and strongly oppose it."
What?
Everyone froze at the same time.
The prosecutor was also obviously stunned: "You are shirking responsibility, you and Shen Yi are on the same team!"
"I didn't shirk my responsibility." Wenrou replied: "Because this person insisted on going his own way, the team members had long been dissatisfied with him, and formally deprived him of his captaincy two days ago and expelled him from the team. He is no longer I am now a member of the Broken Blade team, and I am the new captain!"
"what?"
Everyone stood up.
"But you are his woman!" the prosecutor almost yelled out of control.
"Divorced." Gentle answer.
