The first time I knew Mr. Luo Xiang was to see him talk about Zhang San's case in the short **, every seemingly ordinary case, after Mr. Luo's interpretation, can always make people reopen their perspective.
Of course, sometimes Mr. Luo's conclusions may not always be recognized by the audience, so sometimes he will be verbally attacked by some netizens.
What's the problem?Looking at the "Paradox of Law" written by Mr. Luo Xiang, it is clear that in fact, the difference between ordinary people and legal practitioners is because of the gap in our understanding of the essence of law and the purpose of legislation.
The Paradox of Law focuses on paradoxes, which refer to "contradictory propositions", why do strict laws have contradictory propositions?It depends on who the law wants to protect and who to fight.
Normally, we understand that the law protects the victim and fights all offenders. Does the suspect have the right to defend his crime?
If he is really guilty, because he hired the best lawyer, because the evidence of the crime is insufficient, and the person finally escapes the punishment of the law, it is not that the law has not played a role in fighting crime.
On the other hand, if the suspect is not guilty, but because there is no one to defend him, and all the signs point to him, then he may be wronged, and the convicted person becomes the victim.
Mr. Luo also told us that the punishment is not as severe as possible, and of course it cannot be as light as possible, but it balances the conflict between the two values of punishing crime and protecting human rights.
The fundamental purpose of penal punishment is not simply to fight crime, but to restrict the rights of the State, which are more terrible than crimes, and unrestricted rights will be the most terrible coercion.
You know, a person does not automatically become righteous just because he is engaged in a righteous profession, and sometimes the opposite may be true, and the darkness of human nature often clouds the dust of righteous things.
Therefore, the power of law enforcement personnel must be strictly constrained by the law, and if the power is not imprisoned in the cage of the rule of law, it will inevitably amplify people's self-deception and darkness, and do things in the name of justice.
In the end, the position of the law is always higher than the cognition of more people, if you want to understand the law, abide by the law, and really have to study the details of the law well, and recognize the original intention and essence of the law.
In "The Paradox of Law", Mr. Luo Xiang used 14 cases to help us identify the blind spots of the law, which has a substantial role and value, and is very worthy of learning and collecting.
