"Damn! You can tell from this presiding judge's ruling that he really is a good judge!"
"Exactly! Whatever else you might say about him, at least his ruling was well reasoned and supported. None of the parties had any objections!"
"Even though the accusing party objected, they had no supporting evidence. They were questioning it purely out of emotion!"
"That's right! Justice Lin Youping helped advance rulings on justifiable self-defense. That alone makes him a good judge!"
In the Legal Commentary Livestream.
Many of those watching the trial livestream expressed considerable approval of this ruling.
They all praised the judge who had made it.
Luo Daxiang watched the scrolling comments and smiled knowingly.
Lin Youping was the vice president of the Northern Capital High Court, while he himself was a law professor at a university of political science and law.
There was a certain connection between the two of them.
Luo Daxiang knew that Lin Youping's greatest hope was to see a sound legal system established and governance under the rule of law advanced.
And after entering the judiciary, he had always held fast to his ideals and convictions.
Luo Daxiang had heard a little story about Lin Youping some unknown number of years earlier.
At the time, Lin Youping had been hearing a case involving a truck. Its driver had been hauling goods that were damaged by rain, and a well-connected cargo owner had sued him.
The compensation demanded was astronomical, far exceeding the value of the goods themselves.
For that truck driver, if he were ordered to pay, he would never be able to afford it in his lifetime.
As the presiding judge, Lin Youping had refused to approve that compensation. Not only had he received warnings, but his family had also been threatened.
