Chapter 1068

Mu Zi looked at the jury members.

"If we get to the bottom of it, Sun Wei's death...in fact, he died in this impetuous society. Some people speculate in stocks and lose their fortunes, and some people play futures and end up bankrupt and commit suicide. Such things happen endlessly in society, don't they?

Have we made the stock market lose money? Did you find the futures company to claim? We don't, because the courts are not the place to cure society's ills, and there's only one thing to consider here—

Is the Mu Group responsible for Sun Wei's suicide?

There is a notice board hanging at the entrance of every casino in Xianghai City, which reads, Gambling is impossible to win, bet lightly for pleasure, play with spare money, and keep entertaining.

The harmfulness of gambling never lies in the gambling itself, but in the gambler's addiction and loss of control. Only when the gambler's loss exceeds his economic ability, will the social harmfulness occur. If you also agree with this statement, you can’t think that the Mu’s Group is guilty because it operates a casino, and you can’t think it’s guilty because the casino makes huge profits.

This case is not about the wealth and power of the Mu Group, but about the relationship of responsibility. Sun Wei's suicide was a voluntary act. It has nothing to do with the casino or the Mu Group. I hope you can seriously think about this issue after returning to the jury room. "

After Mu Zi finished speaking, she let out a soft breath.

She withdrew her gaze, no longer looking at the expressions of the jury members, and turned back to her seat.

When she was about to sit down, Mu Zi pursed her lips and said again: "I once knew a prosecutor who told me...

Before taking part in the judicial assessment, she thought that the law was justice, making rules to balance society; then she became a prosecutor, and found that she was justice, and she could decide whether a criminal should go to jail with one word; later... she thought that the law was just It is used to limit people like her who pretend to be righteous.

The heart of justice is precious, but without legal restrictions, justice will become violence. "

Mu Zi sat down and finished her speech.

The whole place was silent, and there was no sound.

She didn't know whether the silence was good or not.

The judge called the jury into the jury room for discussion.

There is usually no time limit for discussion. If the 12 members reach an agreement quickly, the result will come out immediately. But if one of the 12 members disagrees with the others, the discussion will continue until a unified result is reached.

This time is half an hour faster, and if it is slower, half a month is not impossible.

Mu Zi and Murong Cheng waited for news in the lounge as usual.

I don't know if the jury members were arguing fiercely. The whole afternoon passed, and there was no news until the evening.

Mu Zi was tired and anxious.

If we can't wait for the result today, it means that this matter will be difficult, and public opinion will continue to ferment.

Just when she thought the result would not come out today, the court staff pushed open the door of the lounge: "The jury has come out with the result."

Mu Zi took a deep breath and looked at Murong Cheng.

Murong Cheng took Mu Zi's hand and found that her palm was wet.

He shrank his heart, only felt distressed, gently hugged her into his arms, and stroked her back silently, as if he was comforting and giving support.

The two returned to court again.

The jury declared its verdict—

"The first complaint is whether the casino can be regarded as the cause of Sun Wei's death. We judge that it is not; the second complaint is whether the casino needs to make reasonable compensation to the family of the deceased. We judge that it does not."

Suddenly, Mu Zi felt relieved.

The judge tapped the gavel: "The court ruled in favor of the defendant, the jury was dismissed, and the court thanked you for your work. Adjourned."

There was a lot of voices around, Muzi's brain was buzzing chaotically, and she was still in a trance.

...she won?

Murong Cheng doesn't need to pay compensation? ... No one will call them a black-hearted couple anymore?

Tears were caught off guard and rolled down.

It turned out that she didn't care, she cared a lot.

She cares all the time!

"Zizi!" Murong Cheng hugged her tightly.
