Translator: 549690339

Finally, the long and boring indictment book was finished. Even Jiang Fei, who was sitting in the courtroom, was drowsy from listening to it, let alone the ordinary people who were listening to the trial.

After reading the indictment book, it was time for the Sheriff’s defense lawyer to appear. However, this time, Jiang Fei really felt that the consul had gone too far because the sheriff’s defense lawyer had betrayed him in court, not only did he not defend the magistrate, he even scolded the magistrate for his crimes. How could he still be a lawyer protecting his client?

“The magistrate’s behavior is a little ugly…”Jiang Fei thought to himself. However, this was not arranged by the magistrate. It was the lawyer who made the decision on his own. He felt that no matter how hard he tried to defend this trial.., it was impossible for him to win this case. Even his defense would not have any effect.

Therefore, in order not to appear too incompetent and not to affect his reputation as a lawyer, the lawyer decided to betray him in court. He began to criticize the crimes committed by the magistrate in a righteous manner. In his words.., although he was a defense lawyer for the magistrate, the justice in his heart did not allow him to defend this villain at all. Even if he had to sacrifice his own defense success rate, he would still send his client to the gallows.

“TSK TSK TSK… how impressive!”Jiang Fei had long heard that some people in the profession of lawyers were very shameless. Today, he had really opened his eyes.

Seeing that his own lawyer was throwing dirty water on him, the sheriff was expressionless. He was already numb to it. Yesterday, he had been able to beg Jiang Fei to let him meet the magistrate. That was his last attempt, he had not been able to meet the magistrate until the court session. At that time, the magistrate had already understood his fate. He had given up fighting.

“Shameless!”Lina scolded the lawyer.

“HMPH! What right do you have to scold me, You B * Tch? You just used your father’s power to do whatever you want in our city! Now that your father has fallen, you are finished too!”The lawyer said fiercely to Lina.

“Even if we die, it’s because our careers have failed. As for you? Although you’re still alive, you’re Still Alive!”Lina said disdainfully.

“Your honor! She attacked me personally!”The lawyer complained shamelessly to Jiang Fei, in his opinion, as the Chief Examiner, Jiang Fei was definitely arranged by the magistrate. Now that he was openly pointing at the magistrate, it was obvious that he was on the same side as the chief examiner. Therefore, Jiang Fei would definitely help him.

“If she was insulting the prosecutor, I would definitely make a fair judgment. However, as their defense lawyer, you should be on the same side as them, right? “It would be difficult for me to interfere in your internal dispute. Moreover, you were the one who insulted Miss Lina earlier. If you insist, I think I should punish you first,”Jiang Fei said calmly.

“Your honor? !”The lawyer was stunned. In his opinion, Jiang Fei should be on his side. Why would he speak up for Lina?

“Let the trial continue.”Jiang Fei ignored the lawyer. In Jiang Fei’s eyes, the trial was a farce that had been arranged. All he had to do now was to wait quietly for the results to be read out.

“Yes… Your Honor…”although the lawyer was dissatisfied with Jiang Fei’s favoritism towards Lina, he did not dare to say anything. After all, in the court, Jiang Fei’s authority was not to be challenged.

After that, the trial continued. The public prosecutor began to read out Lina’s crimes. As they had previously reached an agreement with the magistrate, the public prosecutor’s prosecution of Lina was only a minor offense, the most serious offense was to cover up for her. She did not mention anything about Lina’s important role in the rebel army. She also did not mention that she had brought people to assassinate the magistrate.

During the subsequent debate, the lawyer continued to smear the magistrate’s name as usual. In the end, Jiang Fei could not stand it anymore. In a fit of anger, he kicked the lawyer out of the court.

Although the lawyer was kicked out, the magistrate had clearly accepted his fate. He did not defend himself at all. On the contrary, Lina continued to defend her father and berate the magistrate for his evil deeds. Unfortunately.., her speech was blocked by the media. Although there were reporters interviewing her, this trial was not a live broadcast. The content of the trial could only be broadcast to the people after it was reviewed by the censor team sent by the magistrate.

The people who came to listen in were also loyal supporters of the magistrate. Therefore, the real content of the trial would not be known by the ordinary people. They only knew what the magistrate wanted them to know first.

As the trial progressed, Jiang Fei felt more and more bored. Sometimes, he felt sorry for Lina because her passionate defense would not have any effect at all. Not only would it not have any effect on the trial, it would not even be known by anyone outside of the court.

On the contrary, the magistrate had a better understanding of human lives. He had to accept his fate because in the entire gamma dimension, there was no one who could save him. The only person who had a chance to save him was Jiang Fei, however, Jiang Fei was not willing to pay an extra price to save him.

In the end, the outcome of the trial was out. It had nothing to do with the process in the middle. This outcome had already been decided before the trial!

“All Rise!”As the judge spoke, everyone stood up, including the reporters and the people in the auditorium.

Jiang Fei stood up as well. He held the result of the trial in his hands.

“After the jury’s discussion, I now announce the result of the trial!”Jiang Fei took a deep breath, then, he continued to read aloud, “Former Sheriff Rodermo has committed treason, conspiracy to subvert the state, and murder! War crimes… multiple offenses are punishable by hanging! Immediate execution!”

“Lina, guilty of covering up, sentenced to one year’s imprisonment, suspended for two years!”

“AH? !”Unlike the ashen-faced magistrate, Lina widened her eyes. She never thought that she would be sentenced to such a light sentence.

“…”Jiang Fei did not say anything but nodded at Lina.

Lina gave Jiang Fei a pleading look. Clearly, she hoped that he could save her father. However, Jiang Fei only smiled bitterly and shook his head. This was not something that he could do.

“Your honor, I request that you sentence me to death. I am willing to be hanged together with my father,”said Lina.

“Do you think that the law is a game? Do you think that the court is a place for playing house? The verdict has been handed down. This is the final judgment. No appeal is allowed!”Jiang Fei said with a dark expression, although it was against the rules to have the first trial be the final judgment, it was specially approved by the magistrate. In a regime that was close to dictatorship, it was not a new thing to deal with traitors like this, many people were even executed without trial.
