One Thousand Sixty One. This Is the Value

Leopard's very childish behavior won the admiration of the onlookers waiting outside the court to enter the arena. Cubs and leopards were brought out for demonstration.

People around applauded lightly, Leopard looked at these people with his head sideways, and when Wei Ni put away his bow tie, he and Huzi walked obediently to the presiding hall under the guidance of Qin Shiou, with light and flexible steps and a low-key and serious posture.

In the past, Qin Shiou heard that someone said that in developed countries in Europe, 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 there are their beliefs - knowledge, technology, and progress; and the most spectacular buildings in North America are hospitals, because there is the health they pursue.

At that time, he had never been abroad, so he believed it to be true, but now after traveling all over the world, he dared not say it elsewhere, anyway, Canada, which also belongs to North America, is not like this.

In Canada, the most imposing buildings are not government agencies, mega corporations, universities or hospitals, but courts.

This is also easy to explain. The court represents justice, fairness and openness. Canadians value the fairness of legislation most, because this is a country composed of immigrants. If the laws are not fair, the country will be in chaos. Knowledge is more important.

St. John's Court, the Supreme Court of Newfoundland, uses a Greek temple style, 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 clause.

Different from other buildings, the windows of the court are not rectangular but trapezoidal, which makes it look more majestic, stable and well-proportioned from a distance, and also reflects the solemn, dignified and stable procedures of the judiciary.

Qin Shiou had heard of the magnificence of the Supreme Court of Newfoundland for a long time, but the inertial thinking of the Chinese people did not want to get too close to this kind of place, so he had never been here. When I participated in the Gatorade Fishing Farm Auction, the venue was not the prestigious Supreme Court, but the provincial court.

The interior of the court is in the style of an Athenian temple. Decorated with gorgeous red velvet curtains, once you enter, you will feel a dignified and majestic atmosphere.

This kind of breath is not nothingness, but the feeling brought by the combination of architectural style, decorative style and items inside, of course. This is also inseparable from the daily continuous fair trial.

Qin Shiou and Wei Ni belonged to the audience watching the trial. They lined up with the jurors to enter the court building. There were more than a dozen courts, large and small.

After entering the building,

Normally, jurors have priority in entering the courtroom. But because Qin Shiou has to take care of the therapy dogs Huzi and Leopard, he can enter first. So he followed the little guy to gain fame and made a name for himself.

During the process of entering, everyone kept order, but it can be seen that the reporters are the most active, they all go in first, and there are even occasional queue jumps when queuing.

Qin Shiou didn't understand, and asked Louis next to him, "Why are the reporters so anxious?"

Louis explained: "The number of people participating in the court hearing is fixed. As long as the seats are full, no one can enter. Except for the relatives of the parties, everyone, including reporters, must enter the court in the order of time. Those who arrive first get the Those who are late can only say sorry."

After the jurors were seated, the defendant, the prosecutor, the police witness, the family members of the defendant, and the family members of the victim of the first case entered in order, and the last one entered was the presiding judge, a majestic middle-aged man in a judge's uniform.

As soon as the presiding judge came in, everyone stood up, and then the case was read out, and then the court officially started, and Hu Zi and Bao Zi also let go at this time and ran to the plaintiff's seat. Accompanied by her on the left and right.

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

After taking the seat, Judy was very nervous, huddled in the chair and looked around with flickering eyes. His face was full of loneliness, and he was obviously insecure about the environment.

Lalawan ran over under Qin Shiou's instruction. Seeing the two little guys, Zhu Di showed a happy smile on his face, and hugged Huzi in his arms. Leopard licked his lips and pulled his brother away. He got into the girl's arms.

Because this is a case involving minors, and it is also a case involving personal privacy, which are the reasons why the trial can not be heard in public according to the law.

However, the case still had to be heard in public. Louis explained the reason to Qin Shiou: the two reasons for the closed hearing were to protect the rights of the parties concerned, and the victim in this case, Judy, gave up this right, and she dared not face her father alone.

Judy's father is a white man in his forties. He looks good, his hair is well-groomed, and he is well-dressed. He should be a middle-class man. Even if he is single, there will be no shortage of such people. woman, but he still attacked his daughter, he can only say that he has a psychological problem.

Qin Shiou looked at Judy's father curling his lips, and said to Wei Ni in a low voice: "You said, what if I let tigers and leopards bite him now?"

Winnie smiled sweetly, pushed his arm and urged: "Hurry up, bite him, bite him, bite him! But then you will take his place in that position, maybe you will go to prison. But I Guaranteed, I will guard my body like a jade for you, and wait for you to come out with Melon."

Qin Shiou was so angry, this bitch!

Judging from the layout of the courtroom, the jury seats are on the left side of the courtroom; the seats of the professional judge presiding over the trial and the seats of the witnesses face the jury seats obliquely; the prosecution and the defense sit parallel to the audience seats under the stage.

Jurors are a special product of the Western legal system, which can demonstrate the fairness of the law. Candidates in Canada are randomly selected by computer from citizens with voter qualifications in the location of the court, and a total of 13 people serve as jurors.

During the trial, the jurors could not speak and could only sit and listen. It was the presiding judge and the lawyer who started the communication.

The process during the period was not exciting, and the two lawyers were not excited. They just debated calmly, but they kept citing classics and legal provisions. Unfortunately, Qin Shiou couldn't understand. It would be great if Auerbach also came, at least he could explain it to him .

Huzi and Leopard accompanied Judy in various ways, because Judy was needed to verify some testimonies, so Lalawan had a lot of work.

Every time the opposing lawyer asked some sensitive topics, Huzi and Leopard would stick out their tongues and lick Judy's palm, making her feel warm. At other times, they would snuggle up to her and walk around constantly, sweeping their tails from time to time, as if to comfort the little girl.

This feeling is indeed different. Judy was very nervous at first, her voice was small and confused, and after hugging Lalawan for a while, her thoughts became more rigorous, and she calmly told the information that the two lawyers and the judge needed to know. (To be continued.)
