Chapter 34 34 Accidents during interrogation

It happened when a district court in a certain city recently opened a trial. Sitting in the dock was Sidor, a small citizen of the city.Sermetsov, a man in his thirties, with a gypsy-shaped face and small, cunning eyes.He was charged with lockbreaking and theft, fraud and using someone else's ID to register for a household registration.This last offense was compounded by the misuse of a title that did not belong to him.The indictment was brought by the Deputy Public Prosecutor.There are countless such deputy prosecutors everywhere.He lacked all the traits and special qualities that would make a public prosecutor famous and well paid.He was mediocre, like his kind.He spoke in a low voice, slurred his words, and would blow his nose at any time.

However, it was a very prestigious and famous lawyer who acted as the defense.The whole world knows this lawyer.His brilliant speeches are often quoted, and when people mention his name, they all show admiration and admiration. His great powers often make the case in a bad situation end with the acquittal of the protagonist and the applause of the audience.Because of these cases, his name spread everywhere, like lightning and thunder, shaking the world. When the deputy public prosecutor finally proved that Sermetsov was guilty and should not be given a lenient sentence, after he explained and persuaded, and finally said that I had finished speaking, the defender stood up.Everyone immediately pricked up their ears.The room was silent.The lawyer spoke, and the nerves of the town's audience danced!He straightened his dark neck, tilted his head, blinked his eyes, and raised a hand, so that an indescribably sweet juice poured into those tense ears.His tongue plucked at their nerves like a shamisen, and he had hardly finished his first two or three sentences when someone in the gallery yelled alas, and a pale lady was escorted out of the courtroom.After three minutes, the presiding judge had to reach out to the bell and rang it three times [Note: The bell is ringing to maintain order. 】.The red-nosed marshal writhed in his chair and stared menacingly at the raptured spectators.All the pupils were dilated, all the faces were white with eager anticipation of the next word, the faces were lengthened and what had changed in their hearts? !

We are all human beings, gentlemen of the jury, and we shall be judged human to human!After much speech, the defender went on to say that this man was detained for six months before he stood before you in court.For six months in a row, his wife lost her beloved husband, and his children cried bitterly when they thought that their father was not around. Tears have never been dry!Ah, if only you would look at his children!They are starving because there is no one to feed them.They are crying, because they are deeply unhappy. Take a look at them!They stretch out their little hands to you and ask you to return your father to them!They're not here, but you can imagine what they were like, he paused, detained Well he was forced to be locked up with thieves and murderers he had to!Pause again, and you only have to imagine the mental anguish he suffered when he was detained, away from his wife and children.But what is the use of saying these words? !

There were sobs from the auditorium, and a girl with a big brooch on her chest cried.Immediately afterwards, a little old woman next to her also sobbed and cried. The defender went on talking, babbling on and on, ignoring the facts and trying to work on his psychology. To know his soul is to know a special, separate world full of activities.I have studied the world. When I studied the world, to be honest, it was the first time I studied people.Then I understood that every movement of a man's soul meant that I had the honor of seeing in my client an ideal civil servant who no longer stared menacingly at people, but reached into his pocket for his hand. silk.Two more wives were sent out of the courtroom.The presiding judge stopped ringing the bell, but put on his spectacles so that no outsider would notice tears welling up in his right eye.Everyone reached for their handkerchiefs.Deputy prosecutor, this stone, this ice, this most insensitive man, wriggling restlessly in his armchair, blushing, looking down at his tears under the table, glistening through his glasses, I should have refused File a complaint on this case!He thought to himself, unexpectedly he suffered such a disastrous defeat now!ah?

Look at his eyes!The advocate went on (his jaw trembled, his voice trembled, his eyes spoke of the anguish of his soul), could these meek, soft eyes look upon the crime without being moved?Ah, no!They, these eyes, are weeping!Sensitive nerves are hidden in these two Kalmyk cheekbones!In that brutish, ugly breast beat a heart that would never sin!And you people, dare to say that he is guilty? ! Even the defendant himself could not bear it now, and now he was crying too.He started blinking, crying, and turning around restlessly I'm guilty!He interrupted the defender and began to preach, I am guilty!I confess my guilt!I have stolen and cheated!I deserve to die!I took the money from the box, I told my sister-in-law to hide the fur coat I stole, I regret it!I have committed all these crimes!

The defendant told all about the process of committing the crime.He was convicted.
