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

Chapter 65: The Self-Proving Trap! [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]

"Defendant, please state your defense claims."

As Zhang Bo finished speaking...

Countless eyes fell on defense lawyer Xu Liang.

At the same time, Liu Xun squinted, guessing how Xu Liang would refute his words.

He knew Xu Liang.

After all, in Chen Dong's case, his formidable rival and colleague Zhang Cheng, despite being sentenced to death in the first instance, was able to have his case overturned in the second instance.
He really mocked Zhang Cheng.

Such a huge advantage could be squandered in one fell swoop, and even the client was imprisoned. Naturally, he had to laugh at them.

He just didn't expect this case to generate such a huge public outcry; he originally just wanted to boost his reputation.

To my surprise, I ran into Xu Liang!
Think of this.

Liu Xun stared at Xu Liang, a fire burning in his eyes.

"I'm not like Zhang Cheng, that good-for-nothing who lost even a death sentence in the first trial!"

at the same time.

When it was Xu Liang's turn to speak, he took a deep breath, noticing the stares directed at him.

He then slowly stood up.

"Your Honor, our defense's claim is that the defendant, Sun Quan..."

"Not guilty!"

The instant those two words were uttered.

The entire courtroom erupted in an uproar.

Innocent!?
They produced a mountain of evidence: the time of the murder, the location of the murder, and even the fact that three people were killed.
How dare you claim you're innocent?!
Where exactly does this case exude an aura of innocence?

"He murdered three people, and even dismembered Zhou Xu and chopped him into pieces to sell openly in the market. How can this be considered innocent?!"

"Is this lawyer crazy? How dare he say that? Isn't he afraid of angering the presiding judge?!"

"People in Hongfu Subdistrict must be going crazy eating meat these past few months."

"."

A series of conversations echoed throughout.

"Old Zhang, what's going on with Attorney Xu?"

In a corner, Zhang Tao, a reporter who had already been promoted to a full-fledged employee, and Li Ye, a photographer, stared in disbelief at the courtroom scene.

They are from Langke Media Company.

In other words, during the Chen Dong case, the reporter who deduced what Xu Liang meant and was the first to report on Liu Mingbo's case involving the body was the one who filed the case!
"Don't panic."

Zhang Tao frowned. His promotion was inseparable from Xu Liang, so he subconsciously wanted Xu Liang to win.

But that's their request.
He pondered for a moment and then spoke:

"The same thing happened at the beginning of Chen Dong's case, and in the end, he wasn't held criminally responsible, was he?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ye finally realized what was happening.

When others shout "innocent," they might be exaggerating.

Xu Liang shouted "Not guilty!" He was genuinely trying to prove his innocence!
When Chen Dong was sentenced to death in the first instance, wasn't he also managed to be defended and found not criminally responsible?
"Let's wait and see!" Zhang Tao said.

In the audience.

As Yang Ruoxi listened to the words beside her, she couldn't help but clench her hands, her gaze fixed on Xu Liang without ever leaving him.

"boom!"

"quiet!"

Judge Zhang Bo struck the gavel, his authoritative voice resounding in everyone's ears.

He then fixed his gaze on Xu Liang.

To be honest, Zhang Bo was feeling a bit exhausted at that moment.

Last night, after his colleague reminded him, he has been on tenterhooks ever since, fearing that Xu Liang might do something.

it's good now.

My heart finally died!

无罪
The other party dared to plead not guilty!

Judging from Xu Liang's case, he must have something to rely on to say that. And having something to rely on means there will be unforeseen changes, far exceeding what he had anticipated in his previous judgments.
Zhang Bo put his thoughts aside and looked at Xu Liang.

"Defendant, please continue your statement."

Xu Liang nodded.

He continued, saying:

"The prosecution has stated that there are only two points of contention."

"First, our client is in Suishan and his subjective intent is to intentionally kill two people."

"Second, the deceased Zhou Xu had no grudges or entanglements with our client, yet the defendant killed him, which constitutes the crime of intentional injury and intentional homicide."

"These two."

As he spoke, Xu Liang paused, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, and his tone suddenly became more aggressive.

"That's all nonsense!" "I will answer each one."

"First of all, the incident at 8 PM on August 16th was not an intentional act by our client, but rather..."

"justifiable defense!!!"

After he finished speaking, the audience erupted in uproar once again.

Lawyer Liu Xun remained unmoved, calmly looking at Xu Liang.

This statement did not surprise Judge Zhang Bo.

Details about Suishan were not released, but he knew them, only...
Based on this, the other party cannot possibly plead not guilty. So what exactly is Xu Liang relying on?

Zhang Bo frowned, then looked at Xu Liang again.

at this time.

Xu Liang continued the debate:
"First of all, the first point."

"At the scene in Suishan, the footprints on the ground prove that during the fight, the two deceased initiated the attack on our client."

"Furthermore, these two were not simply fighting; they were aiming to kill!"

"If the police hadn't arrived in time, the person on trial would have died on August 16th!!!"

Xu Liang presented Sun Quan's injury report at the time.

When Sun Quan was arrested on August 16, he had a gruesome wound on his chest.

If Xu Liang hadn't given him an emergency bandage, Sun Quan would have been dead!
This clearly demonstrates the ruthlessness with which the two victims of Suishan committed their crimes!
And supporting evidence.
It was naturally a case file provided by the police.

When the police made the arrest, Sun Quan had already lost too much blood and fainted after a short standoff, which can be used to indirectly confirm the extent of his injuries.

At the scene, the murder weapon found on the ground, along with fingerprints and DNA, all proved that Sun Quan's wounds were inflicted by them.

The clerk handed these clues to Zhang Bo.

After reading, Zhang Bo thoughtfully turned his gaze back to Xu Liang.

"During this period, my client never intended to kill anyone; he was only acting in self-defense!"

"This can be seen from the two people from Suishan, the deceased Zhou Qiang."

"The deceased, Zhou Qiang, was not killed on the spot by our client in an attempt to protect himself; he died from excessive blood loss."

"Our client only rendered the target incapable of causing harm without attempting to kill it or engaging in excessive self-defense."

"So-called intentional homicide."

Xu Liang's eyes narrowed as he stared at the opposing lawyer, Liu Xun.

"Intentional injury? That's completely fabricated!"

He spoke with great confidence that there were complete clues of legitimate self-defense on the mountain.

No one, including Liu Xun, would believe that Sun Quan's actions after committing the murder were not in self-defense.

If that's the case, why did Liu Xun still intervene?

Of course.
Set a trap!

Liu Xun was overjoyed.

I fell into the trap!
After Zhang Bo signaled that he could speak, Liu Xun quickly said:

"As the opposing lawyer said, on the mountain, the defendant did indeed have the possibility of legitimate self-defense."

"but"

"If the opposing lawyer argues that the deceased initiated the attack and harmed the defendant Sun Quan, it would be considered legitimate self-defense."

"That"

Liu Xun suddenly changed the subject, bringing the second point of contention to the discussion.

"How do you explain the fact that the defendant intentionally killed Zhou Xu?!"

"Zhou Xu had no intention of attacking at all, and was killed without even defending himself!"

"The actions of the defendant, Sun Quan, are exactly the same as those of the two deceased from Suishan!!!"

Self-proving trap
This is Liu Xun's trap!

By linking Zhou Xu's actions to Sui Shan's self-defense, if Xu Liang argues that Sun Quan's act of killing Zhou Xu was self-defense, he is essentially refuting Sui Shan, and he can naturally use Sui Shan as a weapon.

If you can't argue it out, the argument will only make things more chaotic!

Furthermore, if Zheng Mei were to stir things up even a little more, posing as a victim's family member...
He could at least convict Sun Quan of intentional homicide!

only.

Behind his back, where he couldn't see, Zheng Mei's eyes suddenly became somewhat evasive, a fact that Liu Xun was unaware of.

"The opposing lawyer."

Liu Xun smiled and continued to look at Xu Liang.

"The matter of the defendant intentionally killing Zhou Xu."

How do you explain this?!

How to explain this?

Xu Liang smiled.
