95 Trial and Test Flight

When Yao Yuan returned from Zhang Heng’s welcome back party, he realized that Barbie had left him reports on the day’s trial in his room. It was a report that detailed the first day proceedings of the Hope's first trial on ‘Crimes against Humanity’.

It was a given that the case was going to have an extended trial, but Yao Yuan could already predict the result… It was unlikely that the death penalty would be served. The reason why the House of Representatives requested the trial be had in the civil court was that they didn’t want the Hope to have a bloody precedent for such cases. It reflected the citizens’ fear of the government being tyrannical, and Yao Yuan understood that fully.
