对于更好的了解Jury system的运作和优势所在
推荐大家看一部非常经典的片子：十二怒汉 12 Angry Men (1957 ...

Exactly what I wanted to recommend but you beat me to it!

I'd also recommend the 2007 version, which brings freshness and new angles to the original classic.

One day, doreadme@freeoz trespassed to Yping88's ‘casual diary’ farm,  and tried to break in and enter window 63# where he saw something funny. As a skilled reader,  he copied and pasted the heavy-lifting in the room ...

To punish, Yping88's community thinks about to perform a thanks giving service to doreadme annually to which no plea-bargain is applied.

Thank you for introducing this thread run by @江南柴进

Hope one day that @江南柴进will feel comfortable enough to come by regularly, sit at the tea table here in English column and enlighten us more on his vision about the legal system!

I hold on my record all the movies you recommended @Serin

Boston Legal, The Practice and 12 Angry Men!

I wish you won't mind picking one of them and further lightening up this campaign. And I will, as well, be able to cross reference to both your and @江南柴进 's interpretations on the law!

Hey, beautiful work to tie all these legal jargon into a chain!

mistrial--流审, 法官还未给予判决或定罪之前，审判就被终止了，在这种情形下，所有之前完成的取证，调查，陪审团的甄选，组成等将全部宣告作废 （nullifies the preceding proceedings). 如果此案重新审理, 即使是同一辨方, 所有程序都得从零开始, 原来的举证或证据，发现，都不再被认为还能适用于重新开庭.

导致审判流审的有以下情况：律师或陪审员的意外死亡; 任何言语被认为对任一方存有偏见，而法官认为即使通过引导，陪审团也不能忽略这种成见；或者任何一个陪审团成员被发现不顾法庭的指令随便讨论这个案件or 被隔离的陪审团成员（sequestered jury)能够读到/看到与此案相关的报纸/其他媒体报道. 通常情况下, 如果陪审团本身经过多次投票还不能做出一致的判决(A hung jury), 审判就可被宣布流审.

Punitive damages  惩罚性的损失赔偿---此类赔偿意在改变或阻止被告及相关人员参与那些类似法律诉讼基本准则所控制的（违法）行为。尽管 惩罚性的损失赔偿的最终目的不在于补偿原告，可原告还是会得到全额或部分该赔偿的金额。

应予补偿的损失赔偿 (Compensatory damages) 被视为不足以补救原告的损失时，Punitive damages 就会被赔偿。法庭会强制执行来预防对原告的损失赔偿不够（ under-compensation)，它也利于补救那些不易被发觉的民事侵权行为 (undetectable torts), 进而减轻一些刑事司法系统的压力 (criminal justice system). 然而，这种法庭制度认可的punitive damages 在不认可它的司法系统中，可能难以得以强制执行. For example, 在美国的一个案例中，判予一方的punitive damages搬到欧洲的法庭，就会难以得到认可, 因为在欧洲，punitive damages 很可能被视为触犯公共次序.

因为这种赔偿远远超过原告能够证明的伤害, punitive damages 只在特别案例中被判予, 通常在民事诉讼中(tort law), 当被告的行为被判为异常的阴险 (egregiously insidious) 时.  在合同纠纷中(contract disputes)，Punitive damages 一般不会被判予的. 在美国有一个特例涉及到一个声名狼藉的保险公司， 它的毁约被认为是异常阴险到了触犯默示契约中所规定的诚信和公平交易(implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing), 而因此被认定是应该处以punitive damages 的民事侵权行为。

It feels different when I have to make sure what I got from the show than just watch it leisurely and don't mind if I missed out on some point!

But, I am so glad that I have taken on this challenge. It pushes me over the edge, but I will definitely end up knowing more about the legal terms and stuff!

yping, 你今天给了大家一个太大的惊喜。我到现在都没组织好语言，怎么表达这个感受。
晚上吃饭时，领导开了红酒，问他为什么？他说，庆祝啊。我说，庆祝什么？他说，我看到英语版的好消息了。

我知道你很忙，有时间常出现就好。

英语版的事，尊重你意愿。我们的期盼是欢迎更多人来到这个融学习和娱乐为一体的温馨家庭。

这个帖里的内容都非常好。做公众文，我还不确定怎么配图？
大约三到五张图就可以。可能找到原场景太难了。有什么建议吗？
不急，等你有时间。预谢。

I  feel so incredibly humbled by the support that thrown behind me. To me, you all are the real heroes and heroines, who stand tall no matter what. I am amazed by the passion you all show to FreeOz platform, the resilience you all have been carrying on when facing the challenges.
You are all true inspiration!

Truly, I agree with Michelle. It's not in a rush. Take time to settle down in a hope you will have great time and good experience ahead, as we are investigating longer term outcomes for the benefits of the non-profit forum as well as the wellbeing of our community members. Aren't we?

Three years have passed and I guess @yping88 has started following The Good Fight as well? I haven't found myself enough time to binge The Good Wife or The Good Fight, but I did manage to finish another show which is a worthy competitor - Silk.

Good to know, @Serin

I actually didn't know The Good Fight comes around at all. Happy to look into it!

Time is a big killer, isn't it! While I am blinking, 3 years slipped away! But, I didn't let it slip away easy. Heeeheee. During all this time that I was absent from FreeOz, I had done Great Ocean Road walking trail, Wilson Prom Trail, OverLand Track. I have been to Canada, The States, South America...

Traveling around absolutely teaches me to look at life in a different perspective, helps me to realize that a lot of things could have been done differently!

yping88

What about "Silk", is that another legal drama?

Not sure what happened, I just can't see what you uploaded here
