Chapter 32(2/2)

Among the people together, one of them seemed to be holding a knife."

"Everyone, when a person is lying in bed and resting alone, he most likely does not wear glasses. Mrs. Alice's testimony was expressed in uncertain words in several places, which proves that she actually did not know the person she saw that night.

Could it be Paul Colin?"

"All Mrs. Alice can determine is that the size of the murderer was about the same size as Paul Colin."

After Valente finished his argument, he paused to take a breath. Many jurors were moved by Valente's words, but No. 7 seemed obviously not convinced by these arguments.

Valente's argument is logically self-consistent, but there are too many coincidences in this argument.

"The premise of your argument is that Mr. Jim committed perjury, and you have mentioned so many coincidences, so you might as well put these coincidences on Mr. Jim. Maybe Mr. Jim was too nervous in court to say

What if his testimony was wrong? Maybe he actually spent more time at that time, but did he deliberately shorten the time in order to prevent people from judging his lameness? "

"People with physical disabilities are always a little sensitive, and we should be considerate of this." No. 7 expressed his opinion to everyone.

As No. 7 finished speaking, the conference room fell into brief silence again.

"Let's... proceed to the fourth round of voting." No. 1 raised his hand and reported to the presiding judge.

This is already the fourth vote in the conference room.

Second vote: 4 opposed, 6 in favor, 2 abstained.

The third vote: 4 opposed, 5 in favor, and 3 abstained.

Regardless of whether there is guilt or not, the votes must be unanimous. Even if they are inconsistent, one party must have an overwhelming victory, that is, a special majority vote.

At this moment, when the jurors have large differences of opinion and cannot reach unanimous agreement or a special majority vote, a jury deadlock has occurred.

The presiding judge is actually already thinking about whether to re-select the jury or go through the entire review and approval process again.

【ding ding ding ding——】

The emergency phone in the conference room suddenly rang, interrupting the solemn voting. The presiding judge frowned in displeasure. He went to the emergency phone and connected it.

"What happened?"

"President, there were special circumstances. One of the original witnesses, Jim, suddenly surrendered. He told us that he perjured himself for the police station's bonus." The staff member on the other end of the phone quickly reported to the presiding judge.

The presiding judge was momentarily confused by this sudden message.

"Okay, I understand."

The presiding judge hung up the phone with a strange tone. Then he carefully considered his tone, and then told the twelve jurors present about Jim's perjury. After hearing this, the jurors all looked at each other, and the scene became a little awkward for a while.

Especially for number seven.

"Ahem, cough, cough, let's continue the voting." The presiding judge coughed and continued.

Now that we have reached this point, the voting cannot be stopped.

The fourth vote ended quickly, and the presiding judge slowly read out the results of the vote.

"Twelve votes against, Paul Colin, not guilty!"

When Valente Bernard walked out of the court, he saw the familiar man and dog sitting on the bench of the court.

Valente walked towards the man and the dog.

"A drink for you."

When Valente sat down next to the blond young man, the other party handed him a bottle of cold drink.

Valente accepted the cold drink handed over by the blond young man without any courtesy. After unscrewing the bottle cap, he started to drink wildly with his head raised. He was basically the one who spoke the most in the collegial room.

"You should be a juror next time." After finishing his drink, Valente replied to Xia Xiu who was smiling at the side.

"Democracy can only work in the hands of smart people." Xia Xiu replied with a shrug.

"Procedural justice is always prone to problems. Abraham, you said you are from the Kingdom of Heaven, so I want to ask, what would happen if the supernatural Kingdom of Heaven interferes with the secular world?"

Valente asked the blond young man beside him.

After hearing Valente's question, Xia Xiu stood up from the bench and took out a coin from his arms.

"Heads means guilty, tails means innocent."

Under Valente's gaze, Xia Xiu tossed the coin in his hand upwards, and the coin began to roll upward against the sunshine after the rain.

Snap——

The blond young man stretched out his right hand and held the coin straight.

"The good will be saved, the evil will be punished!"

Looking at the blond young man's fisted right hand, Valente seemed to understand something, and he asked him:

"How can the world understand this arrogance?"

The clenched hand expresses the absolute justice that the Kingdom of Heaven believes in, and when the Kingdom of Heaven comes to control this justice, how should the world see the front and back of the coin in the fist.

"So the current situation is-"

At this moment, the sun suddenly shines, and a rainbow appears behind the blond young man after the rain, and the holy light shines on him.

"The extraordinary will return to the kingdom of heaven, and the secular will return to the secular world."

The blond young man said.
