Dear Commander-in-Chief



Hearing Xiao Ning’s meticulous and logical accusation, the staff across from them were impressed.

They did not expect this woman to be a lawyer! Her speech was so imposing!

The main point was that she was so professional!

She even listed the criminals’criminal methods, the specific laws they had violated, and the severity of their sentences. Not only did she have to make those eight criminals pay the monetary price, she also wanted them to face jail time, they really could not be underestimated!

However, it was a pity..

The staff sounded a little regretful. “Ms. Xiao, you’re right. There’s just one thing. These eight people are a little special. They can’t be sentenced according to Article 234 of the Empire’s criminal law, intentional injury...”

Xiao Ning frowned. “Why?”

She believed that she was already very familiar with the law. Moreover, this intentional injury case was not a complicated big case. The applicable law was obviously that one. What was controversial was the severity of the sentence.

And she, of course, would use her skills as a barrister to lay out the evidence in court and swear that the criminals would be sentenced to the heaviest punishment, preferably death!

However..

The staff shook his head helplessly. “That’s because those eight people are all 14 or 15-year-old teenagers. They are minors. According to the laws of the empire, if they commit a crime... they don’t have to bear criminal responsibility... They don’t have to bear such a heavy punishment. At most, they will be detained for a few days to criticize and educate them. or they can be punished to do voluntary social work and do volunteer work...”

Xiao Ning’s blood rushed up uncontrollably.

She once agreed that the law protected minors.

As a lawyer, she knew very well how meaningful it was in theory for minors to have such a protective clause.

However, facing reality, she realized deeply that good wishes could never be 100% fulfilled.

The law set this rule of no punishment out of goodwill.

But what about reality?

The reality was that the eight people who injured Niu bin, although they were 14 or 15 years old, had developed very early. They were all very big and strong. They were taller than Niu Bin and their bones were stronger than Niu bin’s, their muscles were stronger than Niu bin’s... even their strength seemed to have been trained. That was why the injuries were so severe.

Xiao Ning stared at the few photos of the suspects on the staff table. She did not think that those people were “Underage”or “Children”at all. They were demons that were even more ruthless than adults, okay?

These children in name, but in reality, they were adults. What right did they have to hurt others and not be held responsible?

“Don’t tell me that they are not held responsible for raping female students at school or committing murder and arson in society?”Xiao Ning could not help but ask angrily.

The staff member sighed. “Yes.”. Ms. Xiao, I see that you are also a lawyer. You should have also handled or heard of similar cases before... Nowadays, there are people in society who raise such wandering children to do all kinds of evil things, from sneaking around, to selling and gambling. Even if they were caught, they could not be punished. They could still continue to do evil if they were released. Then, this kind of child can be raised until the age of 18, and then do other things after washing his name, or go behind the scenes, and then control younger children... Oh, right, your friend was beaten today, we interrogated him, and those eight children, it was the first time they came out to do this kind of thing, just to practice on your friend, there’s no enmity with him, it was just an accident...”
