Chapter 3 Magistrates' Courts

On April 3, 2000, at two o'clock in the afternoon on Monday, the venue was Boston District Court, and the daily trial work was in progress.

As the district court of the capital of Massachusetts, the Boston District Court undertakes heavy trial tasks, and many large and small criminal and civil cases have to be heard within a short period of time.

The busiest of these is the Magistrate's Court. Eighty percent of the cases in the court are heard and judged directly by the magistrate of the Magistrate's Court.

In three hours a morning, sitting at the top of the courtroom, but wearing plain clothes, Magistrate Marshall of the Boston District Court handled fifty cases, and it took an average of four minutes to complete one case.

The court was adjourned for two hours at noon and reopened at two o'clock.

Every afternoon, some relatively serious criminal cases will start to be tried, instead of minor security cases such as drunk driving and noise in the middle of the night in the morning.

For this reason, Marshall, who was somewhat sleepy after a busy morning, had to pull himself together.

"Court No. 2 of the Magistrate's Court of the District Court of Boston, Massachusetts, USA is now in session. All those involved in the trial, please participate in the trial of the law with all your heart and make a fair judgment. God bless. The court is open." Marshall officially announced the opening of the court, along with the criminal case The trial began, and prosecutors began to appear at the court session in the afternoon.

The first case in court in the afternoon was a minor security case. On the night of April 1st, in a nightclub near Boston’s North Shore Garden Arena, a drunk man went berserk and injured several people, causing property damage to the nightclub.

It is not uncommon for drunks to injure others. It happens every day in the streets of Boston, especially in the more chaotic South Side of Boston.

However, there are two points of this case that are more noticeable. One is that the drunk was an amateur boxer. He was unstoppable in the nightclub that night. The five people including the nightclub security guard and a professional basketball player were not his. opponent.

The second is that the drunk man sobered up quickly after the police arrived, and obediently lay down on the ground without any resistance, and the tear gas carried by the Boston police did not work.

"Fox Leon, what explanation do you have for your behavior of injuring 5 people at the 'World's Best' nightclub in the early hours of April 1, damaging tables, chairs and coffee tables in the nightclub, and causing $3,900 worth of property damage?" asked Judge Marshall, looking at the suspect being brought into court.

Standing in the dock is Fox-Leon, also known as Fan Chen. This is his third day in this time and space, this body.

On the first day, that is, the night of April 1, after knocking down Mark Willis and others and escaping from the bar, he quickly took the subway to the North Side of Boston, ordered three cocktails at a nightclub, and then paid There was a physical confrontation with the bartender and bar security on the grounds that he was willing to pay.

After having a strong body, Fan Chen used his superior consciousness to easily deal with them, and accidentally injured a big black man who wanted to persuade them to fight—it was said to be a player from the NBA Timberwolves.

And the Timberwolves just finished a regular season game in Boston that night. It seems that he went to the bar near the arena to have fun after the game, but he was caught in a catastrophe.

After being arrested by the police, Fox-Leon stayed in the police station for two days and refused the defense lawyer arranged by the police station. He was sent to the dock of the court on April 3, sooner than Fan Chen himself expected. for three days.

At this time, Fox-Leon's right eye was still a little red and swollen, but he could already open it. During the two days in the police station, he still kept himself clean under limited conditions. His curly black hair hangs down naturally, his beard is thoroughly shaved, and his eyes are kept covered with a towel soaked in cold water, so standing on the dock, he looks like a handsome man of mixed race.

Hearing the judge's questioning, Leon seemed very comfortable and didn't look nervous. Obviously, the atmosphere of the justice court was not depressing, especially the casual dress of the justice of the peace, which made the atmosphere in the trial much more relaxed.

He looked at Judge Marshall sitting on it, and thought in his heart: "about 65 years old, Anglo-Saxon, blond hair, a little yellow and thin, but a strong body, broad shoulders, and a tired face, he must be very tired. But the body is still sitting very straight. He should have been a policeman or served in the military in the past. His eyes are not bright, and his concentration is not concentrated, as if he is flipping through the file of the next case... Well, he probably won’t ask the bottom line or notice anything. .”

In just two or three seconds, Leon could clearly see the magistrate's demeanor and behavior, and concluded that the trial would end hastily, so he raised his prepared remarks.

"I drank some wine that night, but I didn't realize that I didn't bring any money. I can't drink enough. I was a little dizzy after drinking three glasses. I beat every guy who rushed up and smashed some things. I am very sorry, and I am willing to bear the legal responsibility for this." Leon looked at the judge calmly, pleading guilty and obeying the law.

After transmigrating into this body, Fan Chen also quickly received Fox-Leon's language ability, speaking English with a painful Boston accent.

Leon had already prepared the above words during his stay in the police station for more than a day, including the confession when he faced the police interrogation, and his purpose for doing this was also very simple. It is to be able to avoid the pursuit of the Irish Gang in the Southern District in prison.

Although this is not a good idea, for Fan Chen who has just traveled through this body and time and space, it is already a better strategy that can be thought of for the time being. According to Leon's memory, Frank and the Irish gang are cruel, and Fox-Leon Although Ang himself grew up in Boston, he had no one to rely on except his adoptive parents.

Since embarking on the road of punching and gambling, Leon has severed his relationship with his adoptive parents, and has completely become a bastard who wanders the streets and earns his living by relying on his body. Relying on his strong body and good-looking face, Leon has many dewy lovers, but in this situation, there is no one in Leon's memory bank that can help.

So Fan Chen had no choice but to make a bad move, create a public security case, and put himself in prison for several months. At least in Boston, the Irish Gang still dare not kill people in prison—although there are quite a few Irish Gang children in prison.

With Fox-Leon pleading guilty, the trial went smoothly. The judge didn't get to the bottom of it, and didn't ask about some contradictory details in the case. Leon's pounding of three people in another bar was not exposed at all.

The trial lasted only a few minutes. There was no back and forth, tense statements of the prosecution and defense, witness testimony or jury deliberations. The prosecutor did not say much, just sat aside and sorted out the documents.

Although Leon showed great power and injured many people on the night of the 1st, the security guard of the "World's Best" nightclub who was injured by him only had minor scratches and bruises on his body. It was the professional player who was accidentally injured. Dislocated, and the subsequent games will also be absent.

Soon, the case entered the sentencing stage.

"Fox Leon, throwing punches at 'the best in the world' bar while intoxicated, abusing the force at your disposal to hurt someone is not only legally against the rules, it is morally rude and irresponsible Fox-Leon himself confessed to this crime. After the trial of this court, it is believed that Fox-Leon’s criminal facts are clear and there is no objection. Drunken assault case, and 'Federal Order' 789, the judgment is as follows: Fox-Leon, sentenced to three months in prison for drunken assault and wounding, with an additional 100 hours of community service...  … "

In this way, Fan Chen, who inexplicably traveled to an American in 2000, got into two fights in a bar and a fight in a nightclub. After spending a day in the police station, he will spend another two months in prison .

And until now, Fan Chen is still at a loss about his chaotic life and chaotic future, after all, he can't even remember what happened in his last life.

But he was still very, very calm. He nodded in satisfaction after hearing the verdict, followed the bailiff and left the court, ready to go to the place where he would serve his sentence.

The first plan after coming to this time and space has been successfully realized.
