837 Liquidation after the War (1/2)

In the City M court, Aquino IV stood in the defendant position without any color on his face, his eyes stared blankly at the pattern on the floor tiles.

At the moment, his face was paler than when he was just injected with truth-telling serum. The handcuffed arms were almost as thin as sticks. In order to prevent UN observers from mistaking that he was treated inhumanely in prison, before the trial, prison guards forced down him two high-calorie nutrient supplies under Jiang Chen's instructions.

The indignation of the public prosecutor drew the applause of the jury. However, all this was quiet and inaudible, just liked flies buzzing around his ears.

It wasn't until the judge's verdict that he raised his head.

”The accused Aquino is sentenced to life imprisonment for dereliction of duty, crimes against humanity, crimes against public security, war crimes, with a total of 15 counts. The sentencing will be executed immediately after the court trial with no parole and medical treatment during the sentence.”

The judge's words were like heavy hammer strikes that rang the death bell of Aquino's heart.

He was full of regret.

He regretted being tempted by Rothschild's words, regretted fighting this stupid war, and regretted agreeing to Moritz's crazy plan...

However, regretting was futile.

Because of this lapse of judgement, he was nailed to the pole of shame in history.

He hated the fact that the judge did not give him a death penalty...

”Go.”

The gendarmerie said coldly, his hands pressed on Aquino's shoulders.

Looking at the young gendarmerie, looking at his hateful eyes, Aquino wondered why he wanted to laugh.

However, he didn't manage to laugh.

The gendarmerie pushed him out of the court with indifference.

Not only did he bring Country F to the abyss of defeat, but he also ordered the use of nuclear weapons against his own citizens. He had become the sinner of the entire country.

Especially those young people who once supported him.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Even compared to Moro people who praising their victory to City M, they hated him more.

”Next, defendant Stark...”

The last thing he heard was the judge's voice without emotion.

After Aquino was taken away, the trial continued.

...

As the perpetrators of war, both Aquino and Marshal Stark were sentenced to life imprisonment and detained in the notorious Quezon City prison in City M.

In fact, at the very beginning, the court was preparing to give the two death sentences. However, taking into account the pressure from the international community and the abolition of the death penalty in Country F's criminal law, the Supreme Court's judges changed their final judgment to life imprisonment after considering Jiang Chen's proposal.

For them, death was a relief.

Sometimes living was a more cruel punishment.
