Chapter 838 (1/2)

In Manila court, Aquino IV stood in the dock, staring blankly at the patterns on the floor tiles.

At the moment, his face was several times more haggard than when he had just finished the injection. The arm with handcuffs was as thin as a stick of firewood. In order not to let UN observers misunderstand that he was treated inhumane in prison, before the court session, prison guards in the prison, under the instruction of Jiang Chen, forced him to fill two bottles of high calorie nutrient mixture.

The public prosecutor's indignant speech drew applause from the jury. All this, however, was as faint as the buzzing of a fly.

It was not until the moment the judge pronounced the sentence that he raised his head.

”The defendant, Aquino, was sentenced to life imprisonment for 15 counts of malfeasance, crimes against humanity, crimes against public security and war crimes. It shall be executed immediately after the end of the trial. During the term of imprisonment, no parole or medical parole is allowed. ”

The judge's words, like a heavy hammer, sounded the death knell in Aquino's heart.

At the moment, his heart was full of remorse.

He regretted that he was bewitched by Rothschild's words, that he had started this stupid war, and that he had agreed to Moritz's crazy plan

But it's no use regretting it any more.

Because of this difference, he has been nailed to the stigma of history.

Now he only hates why the result of the judge's sentence is not the death penalty

”Go.”

The gendarmerie said coldly, and put his hand on Aquino's shoulder.

Looking at the young gendarme and the hatred in his eyes, Aquino suddenly wanted to laugh.

But he didn't laugh in the end.

Because the gendarme could not help but press him in the direction of leaving the court and drove him out of the court. He not only led the Philippines to the abyss of defeat, but also ordered the use of nuclear weapons against its own citizens. He has become a criminal of the whole country.

Especially the young people who supported him.

They hated him even more than the Moroccans who swaggered in Manila.

”Next, the defendant stark...”

The last thing I heard was the voice of the judge without emotion.

After Aquino was taken away, the trial continued.

……

As major war criminals, Aquino and marshal stark were both sentenced to life imprisonment and held in the notorious Quezon City prison in Manila.

In fact, at the beginning, the court was prepared to sentence the two men to death. However, considering the pressure from the international community and the abolition of the death penalty in the Philippine criminal law, the Supreme Court judge changed the final sentence of the two men to life imprisonment after referring to Jiang Chen's suggestion.

For them, death is a relief.

Sometimes, living is a more cruel punishment.
