Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!

Chapter 34 Do you know what you're saying?!
justifiable defense
justifiable defense!?
In an instant, the entire courtroom erupted in chaos, and all the reporters and media looked on in astonishment.

"justifiable defense?"

"Chen Weiren died, his intestines were dragged several meters on the ground, is that considered legitimate self-defense?!"

"Wait, my mind's a bit muddled, let me sort it out."

“Is that right?”

"."

Yang Ruoxi, who was sitting in the audience, also had a few questions in her mind and stared blankly at Xu Liang.

Zhang Cheng was getting a little anxious.

justifiable defense
He had some expectation that the other party would say it, but he didn't expect them to actually dare to say it!
Xu Liang didn't give him a chance to argue. His expression hardened as he stared at Judge Zhao Yi above him.

"Your Honorable Judge."

"The documents and reports I just submitted are the medical records of Chen Qingqing from the hospital seven years ago, regarding the case of Chen Qingqing being humiliated!"

“At the time, our representative Chen Hua took the report, but it was damaged by Zhu Hong shortly after he took it.”

Therefore, both parties believed that the file had been lost.

The third piece of evidence proving Chen Qingqing's humiliation was also found at the Fourth People's Hospital.

Seven years ago, after the accident, Chen Hua took Chen Dong and Chen Qingqing to the hospital to treat their injuries.

but.
Ninety-nine percent of people don't know that, according to official regulations, if a teenage girl goes to a hospital and the hospital suspects she has been sexually assaulted, [the following is a separate, unrelated sentence:]
They will force girls to undergo a physical examination.

This includes analyzing the fluids inside the body and triggering an alarm.

Unfortunately, Chen Jian repeatedly used fake police officers, resulting in Chen Hua not only losing his report but also having his leg broken, while the real police found nothing when they came to the door.

Zhu Hong and Chen Hua both thought the report had been lost.

but.
The hospital will keep records!
"Based on this, the case of Chen Qingqing being humiliated seven years ago is true, not a doubt!"

"The defendant, Chen Dong, suffered from multiple mental illnesses at that time because he was powerless to help his older sister, Chen Qingqing, after she was humiliated in front of him!"

"Among them, neurocognitive impairment, post-traumatic stress disorder, and dissociative disorder mainly cause patients to constantly recall a certain memory in their minds."

"And it's very clear!"

In short, it can be explained in one word.

It feels like just yesterday!

In Chen Dong's eyes, the events he experienced seven years ago kept replaying in his mind, and every detail was very clear!
"On June 1, at 6 p.m., Chen Dong was in such an environment when he went out to scavenge."

"And the deceased, Chen Wei, happened to walk right in front of Chen Dong."

"In the eyes of our clients, the two are living seven years before Chen Wei attempted to humiliate Chen Qingqing!"

Xu Liang presented a set of logic.

His words are highly credible.

"May I ask everyone here?"

"If someone tried to insult your mother or sisters to your face, would you stand up for them?!"

can you?

definitely will!
so.
"Seven years ago and now, it's the same case in the eyes of the defendant, and he pulled out the knife not to kill, but to defend himself, therefore..."

Xu Liang's gaze suddenly fell on the prosecution.

He stared at Zhang Cheng and Zhu Hong and said loudly:

"The first-instance ruling should be changed to legitimate self-defense!"

The same case!?

Legally speaking, this needs to be judged in two separate cases, but if we consider Chen Dong's perspective...
Everyone fell into deep thought.

"This has nothing to do with our victims!"

"The truth is, our client had no intention of causing harm!"

Zhang Cheng shouted anxiously, immediately rejecting Xu Liang's opinion.

"Seven years is a significant period, and these are not the same case!"

Xu Liang's eyes narrowed, and he instantly stood up to meet his gaze.

"Then may I ask, did the opposing lawyer review the surveillance footage prior to the incident?"

"One second before the incident, it was not our client who actively harmed Chen Wei, but Chen Wei who voluntarily walked towards the person being interrogated!"

"I'd like to ask the opposing lawyer, why did Chen Wei approach our defendant?"

why?
Could it be that he realized he was wrong, that he shouldn't have killed his mother or humiliated his sister back then, so seven years later he walked up to him with a smile and apologized?

Zhang Cheng's face was extremely ugly at that moment.

He now wishes he could devour Zhu Hong.

The other party hadn't told him any of these things, not even a single word!
The trial even backfired on him; Zhu Hong's reaction to the DNA test report perfectly confirmed the truth of what happened seven years ago, leaving him no way to refute it.
Although the evidence is insufficient, the judge still has the discretion to decide the sentence!
Zhang Cheng didn't believe that Zhao Yi hadn't seen Zhu Hong's reaction!

Xu Liang then continued:

"In the eyes of our client, Chen Wei is as close to him as he was seven years ago."

"Therefore, resistance is normal." "In his eyes, if he did not resist, Chen Qingqing would be humiliated and Zhang Cui would die."

"Therefore, Your Honor, in addition to the fact that the defendant is 17 years old and mentally ill, another point of contention should be added to this case: whether the defendant acted in self-defense!"

"That concludes my statement. Now it's the opposing lawyer's turn."

Hear the words.

Zhao Yi, sitting high above, withdrew his furrowed brows.

He felt like the other party had encountered a bug.

In legitimate self-defense, one can only retaliate if one's life is threatened. In such a case, even if one kills the other, it is at most an excessive act of self-defense.

Based on the surveillance footage, neither party possessed the necessary conditions.

Can.
Chen Dong happened to fall ill again, and in the eyes of the other party, Chen Wei was the same person who had harmed him seven years ago. He was indeed threatened with death!

Zhao Yi hesitated for a long time before finally looking at Zhang Cheng.

"Public prosecutor, please make your statement."

Zhang Cheng's lips moved for a long time, but he couldn't utter a single word.

What could he say?

17 years old, mental illness, self-defense
The opposing party's evidence was far more comprehensive than his, and their words were completely unlike those of a rookie lawyer.

Zhu Hong even tricked him, turning the most important evidence of Chen Qingqing's humiliation into irrefutable proof.

this.
How can we win?
A sense of despair welled up in Zhang Cheng's heart.

But a sliver of hope remained in his heart. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

"anyway."

"Chen Wei did not express any intention to threaten Chen Dong's life when he died!"

"But Chen Dong killed Chen Wei with his own hands."

"This is the truth, an undeniable fact!"

That's considered cheating.

Regardless of the circumstances, you killed someone, so you should be sentenced no matter what.

In the past, even Zhang Cheng himself found it hard to imagine that he, a top lawyer, would one day resort to dishonest means.
As long as it works, that's fine.

Zhang Cheng thought to himself honestly.

only.
A smile appeared on Xu Liang's face.

"Opponent's lawyer, have you really reviewed the case files provided by the police?"

Zhang Cheng frowned. "Wh-what?"

With the trial having progressed to this point, Zhang Cheng's mindset has actually become somewhat calmer.

He wanted to see what other words the other party could use to refute his shamelessness.

"Was it really our client, Chen Dong, who killed Chen Wei?!"

Xu Liang's sudden question stunned everyone.

at the same time.

Inside the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Hongfu District.

Wang Chao, Chen Changchun, Liu Jin, and others, who were watching the television broadcast, were stunned as they watched the court proceedings on TV.

That sounds so familiar.

Wang Chao thought for a moment, then suddenly his eyes widened as he looked at Xu Liang in disbelief.

as predicted.

next second.

Standing in the dock, Xu Liang shouted sternly:

"It wasn't Chen Dong who killed Chen Wei, but..."

"Chen Wei himself!"

"It was Chen Wei who killed Chen Wei, not Chen Dong!"

Presiding Judge Zhao Yi: ?

Clerk: ?

reporter:?

Yang Ruoxi: ?

After these words were spoken, the courtroom fell silent.

Zhang Cheng seemed to be standing in the wind, bewildered. He stared at Xu Liang, frozen in place for a long time, unable to come back to his senses, and then everything went black.

混蛋
Do you even know what you're saying?!

Who let this madman in?!
