Blackstone Code

When the court opened, the entire federation seemed to pause for a moment because of this moment.

Many people put down their work and came to the TV.

The entire trial process will be broadcast live or broadcast to the outside world. For most people, they probably only know that there is such a thing, but do not know more details.

This time, it's their chance to learn more.

In the statement made by Gianna's attorney, more details were disclosed.

To a certain extent, the federal judiciary is an idealistic metaphysics. It is not judged entirely according to the so-called legal provisions or evidence.

Just like murder, maybe the murderer really killed someone, but the jury didn't think he was at fault, or didn't think his murder was wrong, then he could be acquitted.

In a non-homicide trial, if the judge thinks you did the right thing, or that you were right, then no matter how serious your case is, there will be no problem.

Legal provisions and moral constraints are only used as a reference for sentencing. As for whether the crime is established, they have an impact, but not much.

In such an environment, the more details you add, the more convincing you will be.

At least it is difficult for a liar to control every detail. Only people who have truly experienced what really happened can grasp these.

More details can impress the justices and make them adopt their arguments.

After a series of statements, the judge pinched the bridge of his nose.

This was not easy to examine. He sighed silently, then put on his glasses again and looked at the material in front of him.

There are many details added this time, and they are logically consistent and make sense.

The justice looked at it for a while and then looked at the defendant's box. The defendant's lawyer Dai Lu put forward a different view.

"Your Honor, based on the confession and evidence provided by my client...the colonel, I think there are some discrepancies between what Ms. Gianna said and what actually happened."

"I have some questions to ask Ms. Gianna."

The justice nodded, and the military lawyer opened the document in his hand and asked, "You said that my client violated you in the bathroom for the first time. Can I ask how he did it?"

Gianna's lawyer protested, saying such questions would obviously harm Gianna's mental state and her personality.

However, military lawyers believe that Gianna did not fully explain this part of the content. She had omitted parts and made remarks that could easily lead people to mislead.

The justice originally agreed with the protest, but such an obviously humiliating question was inappropriate to raise in court.

But this eucalyptus is very complicated, because its content is basically this.

Either he was violated by one person, or he was violated by a group of people, or he was hurt and violated by a group of people at the same time.

If you protest against everything and say nothing, the case basically cannot be tried.

It's not like ordinary assault cases that have physical evidence or other direct or indirect witnesses. The physical evidence here is very limited, and there is no witness at all.

If the defendant does not count.

So the justice did not immediately give his opinion, but looked at Gianna, "You can refuse to answer, this is your right."

He gave the final decision to Jaina.

Jaina didn't hesitate, "I'm willing to answer."

The justice nodded slightly, "The protest is valid, but the plaintiff is willing to answer your questions. Pay attention to the way you ask them, sir."

Gianna's lawyer looked unhappy, but all this was actually expected, they had expected it.

Jaina recalled for a moment, then began to narrate.

The federal army allowed female soldiers to enlist for a very short period of time, so short that they did not have time to build some facilities related to the lives of female soldiers, such as bathrooms.

Generally, male soldiers use it first, and then female soldiers use it later. There is nothing that can be done about this.

The bathrooms in the military are not like the women's bathrooms in other facilities. They have separate compartments and can close the door or have a curtain.

The entire bathroom is a shower with water and a foot pedal on the floor.

If you step on it with one foot, the water will come out.

Once released, the water stops.

Other than that, it's all smooth from beginning to end.

Gianna said she was given extra training that day, which she completed after her personal wash time.

At that time, she was covered in half-dried muddy water, and she carried her clothes into the bathroom.

There was no one in the bathroom, and there wouldn't be anyone at that time.

After all, the army has discipline, and there are rules for when and what to do.

Although the discipline of the federal army is not that strict, everyone still abides by the rules that should be followed.

There was no one there when she went in, and then she started taking a shower.

At this time, the officer suddenly walked in and walked to her naked.

She tried to leave but was stopped and he then used some forceful tactics and pinned her against the wall.

"What exactly do you mean by 'strong tactics'?" The military's lawyers seemed to be specifically looking for such unpleasant questions to ask.

There were also some suppressed curses in the auditorium, which seemed to be cursing his character and morality, but he pretended not to hear it.

"He used violence and choked me," Gianna replied.

The military lawyer asked again, "Did you resist?"

Jaina nodded in agreement, "I resisted."

"How long have you resisted?"

"About...a few minutes."

"As an off-topic question, are your military training results up to standard?"

"qualified!"

"Are you awake during this process, or were you in a coma?"

"I'm always awake."

"But he still violated you?"

Jaina nodded again, "That's it."

Then the military lawyer’s voice became louder, “You lied!”

"You are a soldier with formal military training. If you continue to resist, I believe no one can force you to give up resistance so easily."

"It's not something that can be solved easily and quickly, it requires some special postures that are not easy to maintain."

"Once there's resistance, it can't be done."

"The fact that you were able to stay awake and go through the process of being violated for a relatively long time seems a bit forced."

Later, the military's lawyer presented some materials, which introduced that a female soldier who had received militarized training and had qualified grades was not so easily subdued.

At the same time, the lawyer himself performed the performance as a victim.

In the film, while he was conscious, he used a variety of methods to prevent the invasion process from starting smoothly, let alone completing it.

He used this as a reason to think that Gianna was lying and gave another explanation.

"My client actually arrived at the bathroom earlier and found that Ms. Gianna did not mind sharing the bathroom with him and did not shy away from being naked."

"This was thought to be an 'invitation' and some of his subsequent attempts at physical contact were mistaken for violence."

"If Ms. Gianna continues to resist and struggle, I believe that my client will not be able to commit specific criminal acts while she remains awake..."

The justice frowned and turned to look at Gianna's attorney, who also stood up at this time.

"I protest, your honor."

The judge nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"We all know that the military is a special environment with a strict class system between superiors and subordinates."

"And please note that although Ms. Gianna has completed military training, she had no relevant military experience or more social experience before this."

"She was nineteen years old when an officer choked her and attempted to assault her in a closed environment."

"A nineteen-year-old girl is unable to act appropriately at such an age and in such an environment. Her giving up resistance due to violence, fear, and fear of being harmed does not mean that she is cooperating with the suspect's assault."

"She just made the most appropriate action when faced with danger and avoided more serious injuries!"

"On the contrary, the defendant...the colonel deliberately made things difficult for Ms. Gianna that day, forcing her to enter the bathroom alone, and then used violence and intimidation to coerce her into having sex."

"This is obviously a premeditated criminal act. He may have made attempts before, or planned with premeditation and subjective criminal intent..."

"And Ms. Gianna is not the only victim here who has the same experience!"

The judge nodded, "The protest is valid."

The officer's lawyer smiled and didn't care. His purpose was not to exonerate the officers, but to break down the psychological defenses of all the accusers.

Peleus and the others invited a team of lawyers ranked high in the federation through the military-industrial complex behind them.

After discussion, the legal team concluded that acquittal was unlikely, but they offered another hypothesis.

If the defendant's own mental capacity is not enough for them to testify in court, or even voluntarily withdraw the charges, then the military will look much better.

As a result, the defense plan they formulated was to do everything possible to break down the psychological defenses of these plaintiffs.

The question stopped there, and he began to search for other evidence, asking Jaina to recount the humiliating process.

She and her lawyer were even asked to show various picture evidence in court, some of which involved private parts.

If it is not fully displayed, it will have no effect.

If they were all displayed, they would almost stand naked in front of the whole world!

This is also the reason why Gianna's lawyer asked her to appear in court first. She must set a strong example for the ladies behind her!

If she falls, the others behind her may not be able to withstand such great psychological pressure.

But on the other hand, if she holds on, the ladies behind will have the strength to support them in continuing to fight against the evil federal army!
