1062. The footsteps of the times

Qin Shiou attended the Canadian trial for the first time. At first, he was very interested, but soon felt boring.

In contrast, he found that the auction was more interesting. It was related to the environment and atmosphere. The auction was a place to spend money, and everyone was more relaxed. The constantly rotating artwork was also a highlight.

The atmosphere in the court was too solemn. No one spoke except the judge, lawyer, clerk and defendant and plaintiff. Qin Shiou couldn't participate, so he naturally felt uninterested.

However, under the influence of the values ​​cultivated by socialism, he insisted on watching and wanted to hear the final verdict. He felt that those who committed such sins with Judy's father had psychological problems must be subject to legal sanctions.

He didn't wait too long. After a conversation between the lawyers on both sides, the jurors held a secret room discussion. The presiding judge listened to his opinions and finally made a judgment: the prosecution was established, the plaintiff deprived of custody of the defendant, deprived of political rights for fifteen years, and was sentenced to fifteen years in prison!

Judy's father nodded silently after hearing the verdict, his expression could not show regret or reluctance, as if he had lost his soul.

Judy was the same, just holding the tiger and the leopard tightly, without showing the joy of escaping from the clutches.

Qin Shiou felt that this kind of case hurt both parties. He didn't know what Judy would do in the future. She had to be responsible for raising their children. What should this child who shouldn't have been born?

From this incident, he suddenly thought of Evosen. Evosen's parents also encountered the same dilemma, leaving behind a stupid and silly child.

If he hadn't bid farewell to the simple and kind-hearted people of the town, and consciously supported Ivosen, he would have died long ago.

Better yet, Judy will not have any financial problems. She is a single mother and will receive government social security subsidies and can receive milk money. Her father had previously promised to transfer his deposit to her name, which was also a considerable wealth. It had more than 400,000 Canadian dollars.

The trial of the case ends and the rest time is entered. After half an hour, the second case begins.

In this way, Hu Zi and Leopard will be separated from Judy, but Judy kept holding the two little guys tightly, not letting go no matter what she said, and she didn't talk to others. She just hugged Lala Wang.

Louis looked at Qin Shiou in embarrassment. Qin Shiou felt uncomfortable. He shook his hand and said, "Let Huzi and Leopard accompany her for a while, so that you can do it without delaying the next trial."

Judy finally reacted a little. She looked at Qin Shiou gratefully, and sat on the grass outside the court with Lalawang, staring blankly in the distance, like a puppet.

Winnie thought for a while, picked up her small bag and walked over, sat with Judy and started chatting in a low voice.

Both trials were related to Hu Zi and Leopard. The second case was the final trial of the abuse of Sister Luo Shan. Hu Zi and Leopard still had to be their treatment dogs. So they had to enter the venue in advance.

I don’t know what Winnie and Judy said, but before the second trial, she let go of Huzi and Leopard. Winnie hugged her, Qin Shiou went over and asked, and she said, “You go in and accompany Huzi and Leopard to the trial. I’ll accompany this girl here and accompany you home outside.”

Qin Shiou nodded, whistled and walked into the court with two Lalawangs.

He was startled when he entered. The arrangement of the court was changed, and two cameras were set up on both sides of the trial table like cannons, one on the left and one on the right. One was aimed at the judge, and the other was aimed at the plaintiff and the defendant's dock.

This made Qin Shiou a little strange. As far as he knew, in Canada, cameras have always been not allowed to enter the court to film the trial process.

Therefore, when reporting on court trials, the reporters on TV stations could only introduce the case and the brief of the trial outside the court, or interview people related to the case, such as lawyers and parties. This is also the reason why sketch patterns are used when reporting court cases on Canadian TV.

Louis was responsible for accompanying the tiger and leopard, so he would help answer any questions when Qin Shiou had. After seeing the camera, he knew what was going on without waiting for Qin Shiou to ask: "Are you curious about why the camera entered the court?"

Qin Shiou nodded and said, "Yes, is it allowed for live broadcasts of courts in Canada now?"

In fact, not only Canada, but other countries did not allow TV stations to record and broadcast the trial site, thinking that this insulted the court's majesty and would violate the parties involved, and they were also afraid that the recording of TV stations would affect the emotions of the plaintiff, defendant, and parties involved, etc.

However, more and more countries in the world are using television to openly hear cases in court, such as the US trial of Simpson and the South African "Blade Warrior" wife murder case. Of course, this disclosure is limited, only in the stages of court opening and verdict and judicial professional testimony. It is still kept confidential during the trial of the criminal himself and witnesses.

Some provincial appeal courts in Canada do not convene witnesses, but only listen to lawyers' defenses, and sometimes occasionally allow cameras to enter the court. For example, some judges in Ontario and Nova Scotia have reluctantly allowed them several times.

Since the mid-1990s, the Supreme Court has allowed cameras to exist in all trials, including hearings in some non-criminal cases.

But overall, Canadian courts have not been opened to TV reporters yet, and live TV broadcasts of court trials are still rare.

The one that opened this time is the TV reporter. No wonder Paris came. She is an exchange reporter between The Newfoundland Times and Newfoundland TV. She can participate in the latter's field interviews, and there is enough information.

After a year of training, she is no longer the cute little reporter who interviewed and said goodbye to the island, but has become a beauty in the workplace. From this point of view, having a good brother is just a advantage, and Paris's resources are all integrated by Hamre.

While watching the case introduction, Qin Shiou greeted her. She looked up and saw Hu Zi and Leopard, and she immediately laughed.

Some unruly people wanted to harm me! Hu Zi and Leopard were immediately alert. They looked at each other's bow tie, then nodded, and walked around the distance to the vestibule, without passing Paris's position anyway.

Louis answered Qin Shiou's previous question and said: "Obviously people have changed their minds and believe that since the court belongs to a public institution, everyone should have the right to know what is going on there."

However, for the court-treated dogs, this behavior is also in the trial stage.

"At the beginning, we didn't think of using a therapy dog, but the Rosan sisters were afraid of meeting their father privately. So we proposed to use a camera to record on-site, telling the two girls that audiences across the country were accompanying them so that they could have some sense of security." Louis continued, "This is the background of the first trial video of St. Johns." (To be continued)
