United States.
Texas.
The Supre Court began the trial promptly at ten o'clock this morning, and the judge started reading: "The defendant, Le Cheng, is accused of eighteen counts of robbery, one hundred seventy-five counts of murder, and one count of sexual assault. The trial comnces today, and now please let the attorneys from both sides present their defense."
"This is defamation!"
Before the attorneys could speak, Le Cheng, seated in the defendant's dock, shouted righteously, "I did not sexually assault; I had Elena's consent when I sexually assaulted her."
As the judge was about to reprimand him for contempt of court, he was instantly silenced by what followed.
At this mont, Le Cheng's defense attorney stood up and said, "Your Honor, regarding Ms. Elena, I have her detailed records and testimony here, and it essentially coincides with what my client said."
"Then please proceed."
"Very well. Ms. Elena's father died in a car accident, and her mother remarried. Although neighbors discovered her in ti to prevent a tragedy, ever since then, she has suffered from severe androphobia, which has greatly inconvenienced and troubled her daily life."
"Ms. Elena, who is now twenty-two, has attempted suicide multiple tis. By chance, she t my client, and upon her confessions and pleas, my client decided to use poison to fight poison as a form of treatnt. That is, he tied Ms. Elena to a bed and proceeded to... ahem, of course, with Ms. Elena's consent. Following this, Ms. Elena's androphobia was indeed cured, and since my client is young and handso, the two have already cohabitated. Therefore, I believe the accusation of sexual assault does not stand."
Afterward, the attorney presented Elena's audio testimony that had been prepared.
"I'm Elena, and I can confirm everything the defense attorney has said is true. Le Cheng is my lifesaver and the best man in the world. I thoroughly enjoy my days with him. Every night, I would have him tie to the bed, and the pleasure is unimaginable. So, it was shocking and infuriating to hear that Le Cheng was accused. I greatly hoped to appear in court to testify for my dear Le Cheng, but unfortunately, I am on a business trip to Japan and can only provide this testimony... Le Cheng, my dear, I will wait for you to co back."
"..."
Silence.
Everyone in the courtroom was profoundly shocked. It was actually true!
Even the experienced judge had never heard of such a thing. If Le Cheng's actions had Elena's consent and she had not filed any charges against him, then naturally, there could be no talk of sexual assault.
After a good while, the prosecutor finally regained composure and, holding evidence of Le Cheng's cris, said: "Then, regarding the other two accusations, how does the defense attorney explain them? The defendant, as a serial killer and serial robber, is clearly proven guilty by evidence."
Just as the defense attorney was about to speak, Le Cheng interjected again: "I just cleared out so trash that looked like people, traffickers, drug dealers, extremists, and blood-drinking capitalists. That can hardly be called murder. You should call it 'cleaning house'. As for the robbery, joining in the Zero Dollar Shop as one of the United States' long-standing cultural traditions, what's wrong with that?"
Please, no more!
The defense attorney nearly spat blood, wishing he could rush over and gag Le Cheng.
Le Cheng did not hire his own defense attorney for this public trial, but in the United States, anyone has the right to defend themselves, so he voluntarily requested to defend Le Cheng pro bono.
Not out of kindness, but for fa.
For soone as vicious and evidently guilty as Le Cheng, if he could get him acquitted or even reduce his sentence, that would bring him trendous fa; then status, wealth, power, and beauty would all be his for the taking.
But now he was starting to regret it. Did Le Cheng have any intention of getting acquitted at all?
Just as he was fretting, the prosecutor delivered another heavy punch.
"Your Honor, after a professional inquiry into Le Cheng's registration records, we found that Le Cheng's Arican green card is a forgery without legal effect, and we can't trace his nationality either. In other words, Le Cheng is not a legal citizen of the United States but a stateless person."
Le Cheng imdiately beca displeased, "How can my skillfully forged green card make not an Arican?"
He was quite bold about it.
The judge was amused and, instead of reprimanding Le Cheng, took the docunts from the prosecutor, verified them, and then directly declared Le Cheng a stateless person.
As a stateless person, Le Cheng could not receive legal protection from any country, including the United States.
Le Cheng sighed, but his backbone was still straight, "Fine, since you won't recognize as an Arican, then I must revert to my true identity... I, Le Cheng, an Earth citizen, my life and soul belong only to Mother Gaia. The United States has no right to judge !"
Imdiately, the people in the courtroom were both angry and amused. They couldn't understand the logic of his words, but at the sa ti, they began to wonder if there was sothing seriously wrong with Le Cheng's ntal state.
Suddenly, the prosecutor ca upon a possibility and beca alert.
