The law cannot solve all problems, it can only restrict some problems.

In the continuous development of civilization, it is impossible to expect all problems to be solved by law.

Because times are changing, society is developing, problems are increasing, and many things will become more and more complex.

The law will also have to change accordingly, such as adding some clauses, reducing some, or modifying some... In general, there will be more and more types of laws and the clauses will become more and more detailed.

But will this solve the problem?

Can it effectively reduce crime rates?

cannot!

Like computer programs, the law also has bugs and loopholes, and unlike computers, there may be more and more loopholes in the law. If you modify a bug, it may bring about new bugs, and there will always be new bugs. There will be loopholes, and there will always be people who get into that loophole.

Therefore, for a long period of time, among the top ten professions known as the "most difficult to work" in the Blue Star Federation, judges have long been ranked first.

Among the top ten "most promising" professions, lawyers rank in the top three... These guys, with their sharp mouths, can always rely on legal loopholes to help people clear their names.

It was not until the emergence of the "moral court" that this situation changed dramatically.

Because the basis of judgment in the moral court is not the law, but morality.

The conditions for a guilty verdict are also very simple. If more than 95 of 100 "moral representatives" think that he is "guilty" (that is, the vast majority of people cannot tolerate it), then he is guilty and cannot be excused.

After the emergence of the moral trial model, although the prerequisites for conviction are harsh (more than 95% of the people must support guilt), the social crime rate of Blue Star Federation has dropped significantly, the judges' work has become easier, and the living space of clever lawyers has shrunk. Well, no matter how smart and highly intelligent the criminal is, he cannot escape the punishment he deserves.

Some people think that this model is a blasphemy against the law and a persecution of innocent people... But in fact, the vast majority of laws are enacted based on morality.

Using morality to judge whether a person is guilty or not is actually a return to the essence of the law.

So when Lan Xiulong talked about the concept of "moral court" on TV and said that he would not let a criminal escape the punishment he deserved, the people in front of the TV suddenly cheered.

"You will have a seven-day debate. After the debate, the court will hold a referendum. If more than 50% of the people think she is guilty, she will get the punishment that belongs to her. If less than 50%, she will be exempted from all punishment. .”

"I voted for her guilt!"

"My whole family voted her guilty!"

"Haha, female devil, you are dead!"

The Erqi people felt extremely happy, Da Dao, that conscienceless woman, would be shattered to pieces in front of Da Dao.

"It's over, what to do now?"

Luo Xin's face turned pale and his whole body was trembling. To be honest, the debates in the past few days had exhausted his mental and physical energy. But as soon as the concept of the moral court came up, Luo Xin understood that it was almost impossible for him to turn the tide.

And he also understands that 50% of the approval rate can be used to convict. This is definitely deliberately embarrassing, because 50% is an easily reached number. It is very absurd to use it to convict. However, moral judgment must be universal, and there is no such thing. 7. The approval rate of more than 80% is not convincing at all.

It can be said that it would be extremely difficult for Luo Xin to clear his teacher Lan Li's name.

The next seven days had a huge and far-reaching impact on the Erqi people and the Blue Star Federation.

It is even famous among other civilizations in the galaxy.

These seven days are called "Seven Days of Self-Redemption" by the Erqixing people in their history books.

Legal experts from the Blue Star Federation spoke highly of it: "In these seven days, the Erqi Star people have undergone a transformation from soul to body. This ethnic group has achieved self-transcendence and sublimation."

After the whole process of the trial was made into a movie, it grossed 8,317.8 billion federal dollars in the Blue Star Federation, ranking third among the top 100 box office movies.

Yun Xinghe, who promoted the trial, also lamented afterwards: "I never imagined that the impact of this trial would be so great."

What happened in these seven days?

It's roughly as follows:

The first four days were filled with overwhelming accusations from moral representatives and Luo Xin's feeble rebuttal.

An authoritative TV station sent a large number of reporters to conduct a questionnaire survey. After statistics, it was concluded that the proportions of those who believed that Lan Li must be punished in the past four days were: 99.9%, 99.8%, 99.7%, and 99.6%.

On the fifth day, the proportion of people who believed that Lan Li must be punished reached 100%.

Because on this day, Lan Li spoke. Faced with endless moral accusations, even with a heart of ice and stone, her endurance was about to reach its limit.

Then I saw those faces full of anger, ferociousness, and ugliness, as well as repeated words of reproach and insult that were not nutritious, and a middle school teacher, who kept talking for two hours without stopping, using wonderful accusations, When the audience cheered and applauded, Lan Li finally became impatient and said coldly to him: "You are hopeless, you must all be destroyed!"

"You yourself are in darkness, but don't hinder others from pursuing the light!"

The middle school teacher's words not only stunned Lan Li, but the audience also applauded enthusiastically.

This conversation has become one of the dozens of most classic passages in this trial.

Lan Li lowered her head, and with her unrepentant attitude, she angered the last person who had a trace of kindness in her heart. This female devil must be severely punished, which immediately became the consensus of the whole people.

The sixth day is the day of turning.

Luo Xin, who disappeared for two days, came back with bloodshot eyes. He had a video in his hand, a video about his teacher Lan Li's past life.

"My teacher has experienced suffering that no one has experienced before. This suffering made her completely lose faith in human beings. It is the root cause of the destruction and disaster of Erqi Planet. To be honest, if it were me, I would not have experienced anything more than this. A small part of the suffering, I have also become a demon and destroyed the world... Dear judge, I request that this video be shown."

"Don't let go!"

Lan Li, who seemed to know what it was, suddenly screamed, but was stopped by security personnel.

The old judge nodded and agreed to show the video.

Only five minutes after the video started playing, everyone fell silent.

Twenty minutes into the play, some people were already biting their lips with unbearable expressions.

After the sixty-minute video was played, the audience at the scene and in front of the TV were silent and could not calm down for a long time.

The video talks about the various hardships a girl from the intellectual class endured from the age of eight to the age of forty.

Her parents were persecuted to death, she was bullied by her peers at school, and she was framed by her husband after she got married... The world this woman lives in can be called a hell.

As a woman who has suffered a lot in hell, it is natural for her to want to destroy that hell.

Put yourself in your shoes, if you were in an environment where black and white were reversed, would you still have any hope or fantasy about that world?

If it were you, I'm afraid you would make the same choice, right?

"My name is Nasha, and I want to stand up and speak for this grandma."

A little girl stood up and stood on the counter defense lawyer's table, becoming the first person besides Luo Xin to defend Lan Li.

Many people in the audience recognized Nasha. This little girl is a little celebrity in the V-word society. She is the hero V who has left. She was the person who took care of her the most during her lifetime. People who know Nasha also like this kind and sensible person very much. Little girl, I didn’t expect Nasha to dare to stand up and defend the devil. This...

"Brave little girl." Someone sighed inwardly.

On the stage, Nasha was timid, but she still said in a clear voice:

"I want to say that this grandma is not guilty. She...she is just too desperate for us. She just chose the wrong way to change us and the world."

"Uncle V once told me that the reason why our world has reached this point is not because aliens want to turn us into slaves and gain something from us."

"It is our own sin, evil, and greed that have brought us to this point."

"This grandma, like us, is also a poor victim. If she had not suffered those injuries, she would have become a very kind person."

"But will punishing her and killing her make her let go of the hatred in her heart? Will it make her truly repent?"

"No, she will still hate us."

"After we kill her, will we forgive her? No, we will hate her for a long, long time."

"So the hatred will always remain in the hearts of you, me, him, and everyone...it will be difficult to eliminate."

"But... haven't we experienced enough suffering? For more than two thousand years, so many people have died, and so much disaster and hatred are still there, and they will never stop."

"Can't we just have a good day?"

"Can't we let go of our hatred, choose forgiveness, and choose a new future?"

"When Uncle V died, he told me that he hoped that after the Three Eyes Society was overthrown, there would be no more hatred in this world. Hatred will destroy everything!"

"He hopes people will choose to love, love themselves, love you, love him, and love the world! Use love to rebuild everything we have lost!"

"So, I choose to let go of my hatred, and I choose to forgive this grandma."

"I hope that everyone can also choose to forgive each other, and together we can create a new world without hate."

After Nasha finished speaking, the scene was extremely quiet.

For more than ten minutes, no one made a sound.

When a camera turned to Lan Li, a drop of water appeared in the corner of her eye.

On the first day, a total of five people stood up to defend Lan Li. These people were all respected senior members of the V-shaped society.

That evening, after the statistics of the TV station's questionnaire survey were compiled, the proportion of people in favor of punishing Lan Li dropped to 75%.
