After seeing that the jury's mind was basically tilted towards Sirius,

Fudge immediately made the decision to end the questioning and enter the voting process.

This is also the way the Ministry of Magic affects judicial power.

The judicial power of the magical world in the Kingdom of Yin is indeed controlled by Any case in the hands of the Wizengamot must be voted on by the Wizengamot jury, but this does not mean that the Ministry of Magic cannot exert influence on the case.

After all, the organizer of the court is the Ministry of Magic, and they can choose how to Promoting the trial is like two people competing in running. You are chasing each other on the same track. When the race stops, whoever runs farther wins.

And one of them can decide when to stop the race.

He can wait until he Run to the front and immediately shout stop.

In this case, as long as the opponent's strength is not crushed, he can always find a way to win.

Now Fudge is playing this trick.

Hearing that there was going to be a vote, the Wizengamots in the stands began to whisper again, exchanging their views on the case.

In the dock, Blake looked at his toes nervously.

His heart seemed to swell so much that it was beating wildly under his ribs.

He had expected the interrogation to be longer, and he wondered whether he had made a good impression - in fact he had not said a few words.

He should go into more detail about how he came to the decision to change the Secret Keeper, how he was deceived, how he was tricked in tracking Peter.

He looked up at Fudge twice and opened his mouth to speak, but his swollen heart made him unable to breathe. Both times he just took a deep breath and lowered his head to look at the shoes on his feet..

The whispers died down.

Blake wanted to look up at the inquisitors, but found it much easier, much easier, to continue studying his own shoelaces.

Fudge turned back and looked at the stands:"Now, please pay attention to the jury...those who agree with Sirius' acquittal, please raise your hands."……"

Blake raised his head and was pleasantly surprised to find that, except for Crouch, most of the jurors raised their hands. Some others hesitated and chose to follow the crowd after seeing so many people raising their hands.

Then, Fudge jumped to the next crime:"Peter Pettigrew betrayed the Potters; bombed a Muggle street, resulting in the death of a large number of Muggles; framed Sirius Black, resulting in his innocent being imprisoned in Azkaban for thirteen years……"

Levin noticed that Barty Crouch's face darkened even more horribly than Snape's usual expression when he heard"innocent being imprisoned".

Cornelius Fudge had finished counting Pettigrew's accusations and said loudly,"If you agree with the establishment of the accusation, please raise your hands."

Hands were raised one after another, a lot of them...more than 70%!

Blake's breathing became rapid and he wanted to count carefully, but before he could finish counting, Fudge said:"If you agree that the crime is not established, please raise your hands." Crouch looked around, and six or seven people also looked at him. They were all his die-hard supporters and had never raised their hands before.

But Crouch read embarrassment on their faces.

His hand moved slightly, but in the end he did not raise it.

Seeing this, a victorious smile appeared on Fudge's face,"Mr. Crouch, you (bgcb) didn't raise your hand twice? Do you have any other opinions on this case?"

Crouch seemed to have a voice in his throat. Stuck by a large piece of material, speechless

"Okay," Fudge's tone was obviously relaxed, and he didn't intend to anger the other party further,"Okay, then I can take it that you have no objection to the sentencing of the two of them?"

Crouch took two deep breaths, and his voice became strange because he was trying his best to suppress his anger:"……certainly"

"Great, we have reached an agreement on the outcome of the trial. Sirius will be acquitted and should receive reasonable compensation. We will discuss the specific amount of compensation after the meeting."

"And now, we need to decide whether Peter Pettigrew should be punished."

After that, he looked at Gianna beside him:"As the deputy director of the Legal Enforcement Department, I need to consult your opinion. According to the existing law, what crime should Peter Pettigrew be sentenced to?"

Jaina immediately realized that this was the final stage of this war.

The verdict against Peter Pettigrew actually represented the attitude towards Crouch.

It was a symbolic insult to him, a slap in the face. Whether it is enough to establish her own majesty, or to completely defeat this opponent who has a strong influence in the Department of Legal Enforcement, it is in her words.

If she chooses the former, then Peter will be given a light sentence, such as life imprisonment or something..

If it is the latter, then Peter should be sentenced to death.

Only in this way can we prevent the reversal of the verdict in the future to the greatest extent.

Jaina thought for a while, looked at Fudge again, and finally made a decision

"He betrayed his friends and took refuge with the Dark Lord. He also killed innocent Muggles and framed his companions for his own selfish purposes. All these cruel behaviors were truly inhumane. Simply being imprisoned in Azkaban was no longer enough to punish him."She announced loudly,"I believe that Peter Pettigrew should be sentenced to the most extreme punishment in Azkaban for the crimes he committed - the Dementor's Kiss!"

If Levin hadn't mentioned that Voldemort would return and the Death Eaters would reappear,

Jaina would not have made such a decision.

At present, the first batch of graduates of the Erudite Society have not yet arrived. Her foundation in the entire Ministry of Magic It can’t be said to be stable.

If you step on Crouch to death at this time, it is very likely to get a huge backlash.

But combined with Levin’s"prophecy", everything is different.

When the Death Eaters reappear, Voldemort returns. When the omen appears, the magical world will definitely fall into chaos.

When the time comes, stability will naturally overwhelm everything. Whoever can fight against the Dark Lord and provide stable order will be able to rise to power.

In that case, doves like Fudge will be at a disadvantage.

These hawks from the Legal Enforcement Department will receive more support.

In this regard, Crouch and she occupy the same ecological niche, and they also advocate fighting against the Dark Lord. Why do others leave the old man who has made outstanding achievements? If Barty Crouch doesn't choose, why should he support her as a young man?

Therefore, knocking down Crouch before anything happens is the right way.

Even if he will be backlashed by this, when the crisis comes, the so-called backlash will naturally come. It disappeared.

On the other hand, Fudge's attitude was obviously to kill Crouch. By making this decision, he could reach a temporary cooperation with Fudge, which could slightly make up for the losses caused by the backlash. (Read the Baoshuang novel. Go to Floo Novel Network!)

Sure enough, Fudge was quite satisfied with Jaina's attitude.

He looked at the jury:"I personally agree with Deputy Director Jaina's judgment. Are there any different opinions in the Wizengamot? If you agree, please raise your hand."

The jury was silent.

The Dementor's kiss was really shocking.

But what Peter Pettigrew did was indeed too cruel.

"Would a dementor's kiss be too much punishment?"Professor Dumbledore suddenly said,"How about sentencing him to life imprisonment?"

Jaina glanced at Dumbledore.

The greatest white wizard in history must have been unable to bear it, and he had always opposed cruel punishments such as the Dementor's Kiss.

​​But she did not directly reject Dumbledore's proposal. Not expecting to interfere with his decision, he turned to the other members of the Wizengamot and said in a deep voice:"Everyone, think about the scene you just saw, think about what happened to Sirius"

"What would have happened if instead of Levon Green capturing Peter Pettigrew and revealing these truths, Black had been captured by the Dementors?"

As the deputy director of the Legal Enforcement Department, she has clearly opposed the emergence of dementors before.

This sentence is most suitable for her.

Everyone knows the answer to this question.

There is no doubt that once the dementors are caught Black, what awaits him will definitely not be a trial like today, but a kiss from a dementor.

Fudge's face was a little livid, and his words just now were a bit of a slap in the face, but they did convince many people.

Among the jury People began to raise their hands one after another, and more and more.

Mr. Crouch still did not raise his hand, but this time, everyone ignored his opinion

"Well, it's obvious." Fudge's face showed unprecedented determination and cruelty,"This punishment will be carried out immediately."

"etc!"

Suddenly a voice sounded.

It turned out to be Sirius Black!

"Blake, do you have any objection?"Jaina asked in surprise.

She never imagined that it was Black who stood up to oppose him.

What did Levin do? Didn't he say that he had dealt with Black?

Pettigrew burst into tears and looked at the man beside him blankly. , they used to be good friendsAh, there was hope in his eyes.

Blake glanced at him with disgust, turned around, and said loudly:"I am willing to use all my compensation in exchange for a qualification."

Everyone looked at Blake curiously[]

"I want to get the qualification to watch the execution up close in person! I want to see him receive a Dementor's kiss with my own eyes!"Blake said loudly, as if he was venting thirteen years of grievances and resentment.

"Scared me, as long as it doesn't keep him alive." Jaina breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Fudge.

The Minister of Magic nodded without hesitation:"Of course, I think Mr. Black's request is reasonable and not at all Compensation is required in exchange."

The jurors also nodded.

When it comes to Blake's situation, let alone watching the execution, it is not too much to propose the execution in person.
