The lawyer stood before the jury and shook his head slowly.

"With all due respect, the reason why we are here today is not because a dog died, but because our pure, upright and caring Miss Situ Muzi happened to meet a poor 80-year-old who had fallen out of love. Old man, her sympathy is hard to control, so we are here to judge a human because of an animal!"

"Please look at my client." The lawyer strode to the defendant. "This is an excellent young man. He has parents, a wife, and friends. He is friendly and responsible for his work. He will be promoted soon. If you raise your salary, your life will get better and better. Maybe you won’t have to use alcohol to relieve your sorrows, but now, are we going to ruin his life because of a dog?"

The lawyer reiterated for the last time: "No matter how emotional the prosecutor's statement is, we must clearly realize that it is a dog, an animal, nothing more!"

The two parties' presentations are over.

The judge asked the jury members to withdraw and enter the jury room to start the discussion.

Mu Zi's heart is heavy. The defense's statement was very strong, and the trial was as she expected, and there was little hope of winning the case.

She turned her head to look at the old lady.

The old lady hung her head, holding the picture of the puppy in her hand, she kept crying silently.

Mu Zi wanted to comfort her, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say...

During this period of time, the old lady either washed her face in tears or was alone in a daze. The many years of widowhood made the elderly lack the ability to talk, and she didn't even speak much on weekdays.

Mu Zi couldn't help thinking, how will the old lady live in the future? As I get older and older, my health will get worse and worse, and the annual relief fund is only 900... Maybe it can be sent to a nursing home supported by Murong Cheng?

However, these nursing homes are all in different places, will the old lady be willing to leave the former residence?

...

After waiting for more than an hour, the jury had a result.

This time is much faster than Mu Zi expected.

Everyone reunited in the courtroom, waiting for the verdict.

The representatives of the jury members held their opinions and read word by word: "The defendant Xu Lin used extreme methods to kill domestic animals. We believe that this is in line with the crime of damaging specific memorial items with symbolic personality. million."

There was a scream in the court!

Exclaimed!

boiling!

Then came sighs and messy applause!

All messed up!

Everyone was shocked by the result-two million! Xu Lin will pay two million for his behavior!

Even Mu Zi was astonished, her eyes were hot, two million is enough for the old lady to spend her old age.

The old lady was stunned and didn't seem to react.

The judge struck the gavel heavily: "Quiet! Quiet!!!"

The echo vibrated, and people finally restrained their excitement and gradually calmed down.

The judge said: "I regret that the members of the jury made a very irrational verdict. I announced that the two million damages were reduced to two thousand."

Everyone was stunned.

The result was simply ups and downs, and everyone didn't even know how to adjust their expressions.

How could this be? Two million has become two thousand? What is the difference between this and five hundred?

Mu Zi's heart also fell fiercely!

The judge has the discretionary power. When the judge thinks that the jury has problems with the facts or legal understanding, it can overturn the verdict!

"But..." the judge slowly said again, "The defendant's behavior is undoubtedly cruel and violates the good social customs. If you ignore this, it will have a very bad impact on our society. Therefore, this The court sentenced Xu Lin to probation for one year and three months of detention, which were executed immediately."

The judge looked at Xu Lin: "I hope you can perform well this year."

This means that if Xu Lin abuses animals again during this year, he will be put in prison and go to prison.

On the contrary, if you perform well, you don’t have to go to jail.

Mu Zi was in a complicated mood for a while, not knowing whether the result was a win or a loss.
