Chapter 1854 – [Presidential Death]

The introduction of Eve, an artificial intelligence judge, brought great interest and reform to society. Oh, and in addition to that, [Earth’s Bookshelf].

Even neighboring countries seemed to care that Eve’s human rights were recognized in such a short period of time, and that she became a judge and wielded public power, as if they were seeing the future. As technology advances, imperfect humans will no longer be used.

And then the first trial took place where Eve stood as a judge. Since it was an important matter, we prepared it accordingly.

“It hasn’t been introduced yet, but it is a case that arose because information was provided to the police. To be specific, he is a serial murderer and rapist. It is a fairly well-known case in the world, so it is good to attract attention.”

“That’s just a little bit. But what about the principle of one-size-fits-all?”

Everything works well. It is the principle of prohibiting double punishment, which means not punishing twice for something that was punished once.

No matter what, the minimum line must be maintained. If aggravated punishment is possible for the same thing, I know that it is so messed up that it is no joke. It’s not a joke to say that things that were decided decades ago will be punished again.

“Oh, don’t worry about that. He originally raped and murdered four underage girls and escaped before the last victim was killed. He was caught and punished, but a hidden fifth victim was discovered before the statute of limitations expired.”

“You used [Earth’s Bookshelf], Right?”

“Of course. I told the story to the police and recovered the victim’s body.”

It turned out that the reason one victim could not be found was because the jurisdictions were different. Since the area was different, it was not thought to be the same incident, and the body of the missing person could not be found because it was in the mountains, so it was just a disappearance case and not a serial murder case.

Even if the body had been found and the investigation had begun, the evidence would have been hidden along with the body. Still, I was able to find it and bring him to court before the statute of limitations expired.

As it was an important position, Eve took the position as judge. It is possible to show only the image on the artificial intelligence Eve characteristic terminal, but it is intentionally placed for its own meaning.

I thought about visiting in person, but if I did, I would have ruined the atmosphere because it was too much. So I decided to just watch the video and not attend. Still, the picture quality is good, so it’s worth watching.

Anyway, apart from that, the courtroom shown on the screen was quite crowded. Not only those involved in the case, but also reporters are gathered and watching with interest.

Well, that aside, the trial begins. Eve herself began to explain why this case was prosecuted.

“Defendant Baek Baek-chan committed a serious crime in the past by raping four underage girls and murdering three of them. And this time, the fifth victim was revealed and evidence was also secured as evidence against him. Other evidence has been collected over time. Although it was lost, the defendant’s wallet remained at the scene, and video footage of the defendant raping the victim was also obtained through [Earth’s Bookshelf]. Therefore, the defendant is sentenced to death.”

“Joe, Honorable Judge!!!!”

“Public defender, there is no need to defend yourself. At least among the people gathered here, there is no one who does not know that the defendant is a scumbag who raped an underage girl who is weaker than I.”

“But…”

“As a public defender, I know that I have to do my best for human rights and for those who are marginalized in society. However, there is nothing for a lawyer to do when the [Earth’s Bookshelf] Has identified all the parties’ crimes.”

Which legal profession suffered the most damage from the introduction of [Earth’s Bookshelf]? That’s a lawyer.

If you obtain all objective and crime-related information, most of the ambiguity will disappear and there will be no room for a defense. In fact, since it is an omnipotent object that only knows the human mind, the only thing a lawyer can do is to plead for leniency on behalf of the defendant or to defend by leaning on an ambiguous point like the eye of a needle.

Well, it still doesn’t change Eve’s decision. If it’s a case of rape or murder, it doesn’t matter.

“Judge!!!! The judge is currently ignoring the principle of presumption of innocence and is conducting the trial!!!!”

“Oh, I see. Then let’s first look at the video obtained through [Earth’s Bookshelf].”

Soon, an image is projected through a digital projector on one wall of the courtroom.

And it was something that looked nasty and ugly. It was an image of an old man raping a high school girl who was weaker and younger than him.

Hehe, walking around with your skirt shortened like that, doesn’t that mean you’re asking me to fuck you? Huh? How is it? Are you okay?

-Ugh!!!! Uuuuu!!!!!!

He’s a smart guy. After gagging his partner’s mouth with a cloth to prevent her from screaming, he raped her in a deserted place.

At that sight, the people at the court turned their heads or were indignant. Even the defendant’s public defender could be seen sighing in despair and giving up.

The video showed how the defendant raped the victim and how the wallet, which was evidence, was left behind. The female student who was being raped struggled and dropped her wallet from his pocket just before she died.

Thanks to being cleverly hidden under the female student’s body, the evidence remained and soon reached the present. If the body had been found, the evidence would have been found as well, and he would have been punished, but in this case, the body was never found in the first place and has only now been discovered.

In any case, the defendant, or rather the culprit, of the murder that was revealed, was just trembling and waiting for punishment.

“If you have seen the video, you will know that he is guilty. So the important thing is the punishment, but the most important reason why I sentenced him to death is whether he reflects.”

There were plenty of opportunities for him to turn himself in until the hidden fifth victim was revealed. Even while serving time for a previous conviction.

There have been dozens of years of opportunity to reflect. He had a chance to say there was one more victim he killed… But what would be the point if he didn’t say it? In the end, he didn’t want to spend any longer in prison, so he tried to bury it.

Is that guy reflecting? Baaaaanseuhuh? Don’t be damned. A person who is truly reflecting is so ashamed of his face that he can’t hold it straight.

“Despite having ample time and opportunity, the defendant remained silent and did not say a single word about the fifth victim. He said he was remorseful in words, but hiding the facts about the victim, which the person most obviously knew, was in itself a sign of remorse. This is evidence that there is no room for it, so even if we sentence him to life imprisonment, it is a waste of tax money, and we cannot send him out to society, so we are sentencing him to death.”

“Fuck!!!! Who are you!!!!! You’re not even human!!!!! You don’t know the human heart!!!! What are you? You’re going to kill me! Maraya!!!!!! !”

And the defendant shouted back at Eve. Although he cannot run wild, he curses and insults Eve as if he will use his tongue as he pleases.

But Eve doesn’t care and responds lightly.

“Hmm, the human mind is complicated, so I can’t explain it properly… But wouldn’t I be at least more humane than the human scum who raped five underage girls and killed four of them?”

“What a dog…!!!!!”

“I will also add the charge of contempt of court to the defendant. It is the death penalty anyway, but since the executioner is my father, I will ask that the execution be made more painful.”

“Uh, no, that’s right!!!!”

“Before the execution, we will provide special care to the defendant to prevent him from committing suicide. We will detain him without him being able to do anything, only being injected with nutrients.”

“No, what is that…”

And he was immediately detained by the court. It’s like being held in full-body restraint in a mental hospital, where they’re tied up so tightly that they can’t even harm themselves, let alone commit suicide. They literally just let them breathe and release them only when they’re executed. For someone who has been sentenced to death, it would be a waste to spend the remaining time in peace.

If it were like other places, I would have thought what if it was a false accusation or a misunderstanding… But since I was using Gaia Records, it was meaningless. Even if the person is a transcendental person who can edit Gaia records, it is meaningless to punish them in the first place, and even if they try to deceive Gaia records, that itself will be recorded.

Perhaps even if the Earth’s time axis is distorted, that record will remain. If you want to turn back the time axis to the point where Gaia Records’ records disappear, Uncle Genesis will have to come.

Anyway, that’s how Eve’s first trial ended. He was found guilty and sentenced to death, and soon I decided to act as his executioner.

It’s quite strange that the president is the executioner. But at least I think the president has a sufficient sense of responsibility when he kills people on behalf of the people.

But as expected, there was no backlash. It may be a dimensional civilization, but Eve, who is from artificial intelligence on Earth, inevitably feels rejected by people here. At least he looked the same as Eden, so it was a little less.

-But no matter how many human rights there are, is it okay for machines to judge humans?

-The Matrix is ​​not far away haha

-The person who was sentenced is worthy of review, but the judge is an artificial intelligence so…

However, they only chose him because he was an example, and neither Eve nor Zion could have predicted that. So, before that, we solve a few more cases separately to calm such public opinion.

“The defendant committed about four acts of theft without being indicted, but all the stolen goods were daily necessities, and he was unable to get a proper job due to a chronic illness, so we realized that he was having trouble making a living. As the saying goes, no one will climb over a wall if they starve for three days, so they can survive. It can be said that the government is responsible because it is a bad thing for a country to not provide support even when faced with such a situation.”

“That’s true.”

Although I could not have attended the previous trial due to the atmosphere or other circumstances, I took the time to attend this trial because it was not a matter of death penalty, but rather a matter that required more attention in a different sense. The people at the trial are whispering as I secretly agree with him.

Honestly, the reason people at the bottom of society commit crimes is mostly because they don’t have the right environment. The average person is satisfied if they have a full stomach and a back. However, if there are people who commit crimes, there is a problem with their character.

No, it’s not for nothing that they say they’re conservative, but what kind of crazy person is there who deliberately causes trouble in his peaceful life? Not even Kira Yoshikage.

This is not an excuse for those who engage in corruption for a living, but real crimes for a living will disappear by themselves if an environment is created that prevents them from committing such crimes. However, if you commit it, from then on it is not a crime for making a living, but just a crime.

“I may have just become president, but I am still president, so I cannot be without responsibility. I will eradicate crime for a living through welfare and subsidies for the underprivileged. Of course, I will also support the defendant in this case.”

“President, then where will you supplement the welfare budget!!!!”

“There are plenty of ways to pull it in. Oh, don’t tell me you’ll get it from taxes. Eden already has a budget for running the foundation through the Garden of Eden. The money that goes into it is several trillion a year alone.”

“Ah…”

Money and all that are meaningless here. There is Zion, there is the Garden of Eden, and in fact, there are many places to make money and bring in money. And if you use the existing budget well, anything will work out. The problem is that there are so many thieves.

In any case, public opinion changed a little. Rather than being artificial intelligence that ruthlessly punishes the death penalty, it has shown mercy to the socially underprivileged, such as people who are alienated from real society and have problems making a living, so there has been an increase in favorable public opinion and public opinion to watch out for it.

“You just have to show it through your future actions.”

“Even if you leave it alone, if you do it well, there’s nothing you can say. Moreover, there won’t be any strange rulings.”

“Before that, please strengthen the punishment. It may be okay if it is a serious crime, but the punishment for a misdemeanor is so weak that it is meaningless.”

“It’s hard because I have to deal with the law… By the way, what about the think tank side? Are you okay?”

“It’s very helpful. I’m very interested in your story because it’s being shared with public opinion.”

Even if you brush up on [Earth’s Bookshelf], The legal profession only has light or no corruption. As for their names and other information, as officials of Eve, a separate list and various personal information were posted on the government website.

They proved their cleanliness and sincerity. And since I got a position as a close associate of Eve, who is in fact the president, it is no different from being successful in the world.

They’ve been contacting me late about asking for favors and all, but… Wouldn’t they have done it a long time ago if they were going to fall for something like that in the first place? Since I am there to threaten you, I will do my best.

They left it at that and set an execution date for the rapist and serial killer they had previously sentenced to death. Normally, it would take quite a long time, but the evidence is solid and even though it is relatively short, there is no problem because we have conducted a rigorous investigation and checked whether there is any possibility.

Even if you’re a fucking bastard, you’re killing someone, so you have to review it several times just in case. Although it was still meaningless, there was no harm in being cautious.

However, since this is an issue that is nothing short of a revival of the death penalty, tackles are coming in from all over. During the trial, more attention was paid to Eve, the artificial intelligence judge, but this time, the issue of the death penalty itself and, more precisely, the human rights of such criminals, came to the fore.

“The Human Rights Commission is opposing the death penalty with the UN behind it.”

“I guess I’ll have to tell you something else. Why is the President so busy?”

“I think it’s just because you work hard.

Human rights… It reminds me of when human rights were taken away from the Martian civilization. If we have time to worry about the human rights of violent criminals, we will use that time to do other places where human rights are needed.

You can ignore it and force it, but it is better to deal with complaints at the beginning. It would be bothersome if public opinion were to sympathize with it.

“Would you like to create something like a debate broadcast?”

“That would be nice.”

In order to persuade, there must be various logic or evidence, but… That’s okay. I’m not that smart, but I have the best method.

That is persuasion (physics)!!!!!
