Golden Fishery

The 13 members of the jury entered the secret room. They will then conduct deliberations, and then submit the results to the presiding judge. The presiding judge's final judgment must consider the opinions of the jury. Trial.

The law does not limit the time and method of jury debate. Both the prosecution and the defense and the judge have to wait in court, which may take one day, two days or even several months.

Of course, everyone can go home in the evening and continue the discussion the next day. But as long as they come out of the back room and tell the professional judges the result of the unanimous decision, no one can change their decision.

This is the jury system of the European and American legal system. The jurors are randomly generated. They may not have common sense of law, and the judgments they make only come from their heart, but this is what the court wants.

In a sense, they represent public opinion, which is a kind of democracy.

Regardless of the low status of jurors in life, as long as they come to the court, they are judges and authorities, and they are people who exercise judicial power on behalf of the country.

Regardless of the prosecutor or the judge, any judgment they make must seriously consider the judgment of these ordinary people.

Because of the temporary nature of jurors, they don't worry about any pressure, and they don't have to worry about retaliation after the trial. At this time, their judgments can only obey their conscience and follow the law, so they are more just.

Generally, the judgment of the jury will end very soon. First of all, the jurors have jobs, and they get very little financial supplement for attending the trial. Generally, they only have 20 Canadian dollars a day and the same salary, but this will delay their work. , so it saves time. They try to save time.

Secondly, if you can’t make a judgment in court, it will be more troublesome later. For example, after returning home at night, jury members may accept bribes or be threatened. Once such things are exposed. Then they will accept legal sanctions, and the loss outweighs the gain.

In addition, the law stipulates that jurors cannot talk about the case with their family members after returning home, and do not read relevant reports. This is very difficult, and it is also a torture for them. For several reasons, the results of the jury are produced relatively quickly.

Sure enough, the results came out very quickly this time, and the efficiency was astonishingly fast. The jury members came out in less than 20 minutes after entering the secret room. The Attorney General presented the results to the young judges.

The young judge watched the result, then frowned and pondered for a few seconds, then discussed with the surrounding guardian judge and two lawyers. At this time, noises sounded around the jury seats and audience seats, which was to cover up the last discussion of the judges.

Finally the discussion is over,

The judge of final appeal relied on the law, experience, past classic cases and conscience to make a judgment, and said solemnly: "According to the "Constitution" and the powers given to me by God, I. Guo Song, the final judge of the Supreme Court of Newfoundland, announced the judgment of this case as follows..."

As soon as the words came out, everyone stood up and listened to the result of the penalty.

"The prosecution of this case is established. The defendant, Mr. Kevin Barsaromo, lost the lawsuit and deprived his two daughters of custody until they reached adulthood. He was sentenced to a fine of 4,000 Canadian dollars and a fixed-term imprisonment of 18 years and 10 months..."

Before the young judge could finish his sentence, the father of Sister Luoshan roared angrily: "No, no, no, I don't accept it! This is not true. Your judgment is invalid! Damn you yellow monkey, I want Complain to the Court of Appeal! I am not guilty! You have no standing to try me!"

The young judge ignored his roar. He calmly announced his penalty result, and finally paused. Staring at the furious middle-aged man with sharp eyes, he said: "Mr. Kevin Barthalom, your appeal will be accepted. If you can win the case, then there will be another prosecution, and that is I will sue Your racism against me and your insult to the judge."

"Of course, if your appeal fails, then this prosecution will be postponed for eighteen years and ten months, and you will accept my prosecution after you are released from prison."

According to the Canadian Constitution, if the parties disagree with the judgment of their trial in the Provincial Superior Court, they can "appeal" their case to the Provincial Court of Appeal.

This will allow a judge from another court to review their case to see if the final judge made the correct decision. Usually, appeals will be heard by three judges from the Court of Appeals.

But this case cannot be overturned. Canada has done a good job in protecting minors. To what extent is it in place? Each province even has its own "Child Protection Law", each of which is stricter than the other, and the punishment for breaking the law is stricter than the other!

The younger the child, the stricter the protection measures they receive, and if they harm a minor, they will be punished severely.

Therefore, although Judy's case is worse in nature than the abuse case of the Rosanne sisters, her father's sentence is lighter. The main reason is that the Rosanne sisters are younger.

After the punishment was over, the case in the morning was over. After the court ended, Qin Shiou took the tiger and the leopard and left. The rest was to accept the evaluation from the outside world and see how the Lalawan therapy dogs performed.

Qin Shiou had just walked out of the court gate when he suddenly heard someone calling him, so he turned around and saw the young judge Guo Song waving at him.

"Hello, Mr. Judge." Qin Shiou smiled, and from his name, he should be of Chinese descent. A Chinese descendant can become the final judge of the Provincial Supreme Court, and at such a young age, Qin Daguan feels that he is much better than himself.

"Hello, Mr. Qin, you don't need to call me a judge in court, please call me by my name. My name is Guo Song. I immigrated to Canada ten years ago. It's a pleasure to meet you in St. John's." Guo Song said sincerely with his hand extended.

Qin Shiou shook hands with him and praised him for his greatness. Guo Song smiled reservedly, shook his head and said, "Compared to me, I'm nothing. The Labrador retriever you educated is really remarkable. I think, with your dog's outstanding performance, the therapy dog ​​system It will soon be introduced to the Newfoundland courts."

After a brief understanding, the two parties separated, and Guo Song seemed to just come up to say hello.

Qin Shiou finally waved his hand and said "See you again". Guo Song smiled and said, "I believe this day will not be long. I am looking forward to the day when I meet you again."

These words were a bit deep, Qin Shiou wanted to ask what they meant, but after Guo Song finished speaking, he nodded and left, leaving him with an unfathomable back view.

After Huzi and Leopard went through this trial, they suddenly became stars. The jury members and the audience did not leave directly, but stayed outside the court. After Huzi and Leopard came out, they all went up to take pictures.

The reporters were even more active. Paris even knelt down and put the microphones in front of the tigers and leopards, making them bark twice as speeches...

Huzi sniffed the microphone, leaned forward and gnawed a couple of mouthfuls, then shook his head disappointedly at Qin Shiou, meaning this is not edible... (to be continued)
