Chapter 1075

This extremely childlike action of the leopard won the admiration of the onlookers waiting outside the court to enter. These people are no strangers to the tiger and leopard, because in recent days, the topic of treating dogs has been uninterrupted, and the tiger and leopard have been taken out for demonstration.

There was a gentle applause around. The leopard looked at these people with his head sideways. When Weini cleaned up the leader's knot, he and the tiger skillfully walked to the auditorium under the guidance of Qin Shiou, with light and flexible steps and low-key and serious posture.

In the past, Qin Shiou heard that a Dana said that in developed European countries, the most magnificent buildings are mainly churches, because there are their beliefs - fraternity, freedom and equality; The most luxurious buildings in Japan are mainly schools, because they store their beliefs - knowledge, technology and enterprising; The most spectacular building in North America is the hospital, because it stores the health they pursue.

He believed that he had never been abroad at that time, but now after running all over the world, he dare not say anywhere else. Anyway, Canada, which belongs to North America, is not like this.

In Canada, the most magnificent buildings are not government agencies, super companies, universities or hospitals, but courts.

It's easy to explain that the court represents justice, fairness and openness. Canadians value the justice of legislation most, because this is a country composed of immigrants. If the law is unfair, the country will be chaotic, which is more important than health, belief and knowledge.

St. John's court, the Supreme Court of Newfoundland, used the style of Greek temple, which is said to be carefully designed by a famous Greek architect in Canada. The steps in front of the court are exquisitely carved, and each step has a classic legal provision.

Different from other buildings, the window of the court is not rectangular but trapezoidal, which makes it look more magnificent, stable and symmetrical from a distance. It also reflects the due image of the judicial organ, such as solemnity, solemnity and procedural stability.

Qin Shiou has long heard of the magnificence of the Supreme Court of Newfoundland, but the Chinese people's habitual thinking doesn't want to get too close to this place, so they haven't been here. At first, the auction place of Jiadeli fishing ground was not the famous Supreme Court, but the provincial court.

The interior of the court adopts the Athenian Temple style and is decorated with a gorgeous red velvet curtain. As soon as you enter, you feel a dignified and majestic atmosphere.

This breath is not nothingness, but the feeling brought by the combination of architectural style, decorative style and the furnishings inside. Of course, it is also inseparable from the daily constant fair trial.

Qin Shiou and Weini were the spectators of the trial. They lined up with the jurors to enter the court building, which has more than a dozen courts, large and small.

After entering the building, jurors normally have priority in entering the trial court. But because Qin Shiou had to take care of and treat dogs, tigers and leopards, he could enter first, so he followed the little guy and became the top.

In the process of entering, everyone maintained order, but it can be seen that the reporters were the most active, they were the first to enter, and even occasionally cut in the queue when queuing.

Qin Shiou didn't understand. He asked Louis nearby, "Why are the reporters so anxious?"

Louis explained: "the candidates for the trial are fixed. As long as the seats are full, no one can enter. In addition to the relatives of the parties, all people, including journalists, have to enter the court according to the chronological order. Those who arrive first have the qualification to attend as observers, and those who arrive late can only say they are sorry. "

After the jurors sat down, the defendant, prosecutor, police witness, defendant's family and victim's family of the first case entered in turn. Finally, the presiding judge, a dignified middle-aged man in judge's clothes, came in.

As soon as the presiding judge came in, everyone stood up, and then the case was read out, and then the court officially opened. At this time, the tiger and the leopard let go and ran to the plaintiff's seat, accompanied by her left and right.

Today's first case is the juvenile Xing assault case, and the plaintiff is Judy.

Judy was very nervous after she took the seat. She shrank in her chair and looked around with flashing eyes. Her face was lonely and obviously lacked a sense of security for the environment.

At the instigation of Qin Shiou, lalwang ran over and saw two little guys. Judy smiled happily and hugged the tiger in her arms. The leopard licked his lips, pulled his brother apart and drilled himself into the girl's arms.

Because this is a case involving minors and a case involving personal privacy, which is the reason why it can be tried in private.

However, the case still has to be heard in public. Louis explained the reasons to Qin Shiou: the two reasons for not hearing in public are to protect the rights of the parties, and Judy, the victim of this case, gave up this right, and she did not dare to face her father alone.

Judy's father is a white man in his forties. He looks good, his hair is in order, and his clothes are tasteful. He should be a middle class. Even if such a person is single, he won't lack women, but he still starts with his daughter. He can only say that he has a mental problem.

Qin Shiou looked at Judy's father and whispered to Winnie, "what if I let the tiger and leopard bite him now?"

Winnie smiled, pushed his arm and urged, "come on, go and bite him, bite him! But then you will replace him in that position. You may have to go to prison. But I promise, I'll keep my guard for you and wait for you to come out with melon. "

Qin Shiou is very angry, this woman!

Judging from the court arrangement, the jury's seat is on the left side of the court; The seat of the professional judge presiding over the trial and the seat of the witness are inclined to the jury seat; Sitting under the stage parallel to the auditorium are the prosecution and the defense.

Jurors are a special product of the western legal system, which can demonstrate the fairness of the law. The candidates in Canada are randomly selected by computer from the citizens with voter qualifications in the seat of the court, with a total of 13 jurors.

During the trial, the jurors could not speak, but could only sit and listen. It was the presiding judge and the lawyer who began to communicate.

The process was not wonderful, and the two lawyers were not excited. They just calmly debated, but quoted scriptures and legal provisions kept popping out. Unfortunately, Qin Shiou didn't understand. If Auerbach had come, at least he could explain it to him.

The tiger and leopard accompanied Judy to sell all kinds of good deeds. Because Judy needed to verify some testimony, laawang had a lot of work.

Every time the other lawyer asks some sensitive topics, the tiger and leopard stick out their tongues and lick Judy's palm to make her feel warm. At other times, one snuggled up to her, the other kept wandering, and his tail swept from time to time, as if comforting a little girl.

This feeling was really different. Judy was very nervous at first. Her voice was small and confused. After holding lalawang for a while, her thoughts became rigorous and calmly said the information that the two lawyers and judges needed to know.
