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

Chapter 66: Pulling out a letter of understanding!
How can we explain the fact that the defendant, Sun Quan, intentionally killed Zhou Xu?
"Your Honor, jurors, and members of the press."

"First of all, I want to emphasize that although our client was the proactive party in terms of subjective intent, but..."

"They are completely different from the two deceased in Suishan!"

Xu Liang stood up, his tone serious.

This point must be stated and emphasized repeatedly!

"First of all, the two victims in Suishan attacked with the intention of causing harm."

"Our client lured him into taking the initiative because Zhou Xu himself had already committed acts that harmed others!"

"On August 12, Zhou Xu's younger brother, Zhou Jia, abducted a child in a taxi and hid the child under Zhou Xu's pigsty. Zhou Xu was fully aware of this during the incident!"

"Legally, this constitutes a violation of the law and a crime, endangering the life and safety of others!"

His voice was incredibly loud, reaching everyone's ears.

The reporter and the audience members seemed to be thoughtfully following this logic.

Take advantage of this gap.

Xu Liang spoke again.

"It is precisely because Zhou Xu endangered the lives of others that our clients have taken the initiative!"

"And this initiative is because of the child."

"In other words, our client is a trafficked child, which is why we went to the pig farm and had a dispute with Zhou Xu!"

This must be emphasized.

Otherwise, even if a letter of understanding is presented, it will be useless.

A letter of leniency only reduces the sentence, not lowers the penalty for the offense!
The difference in treatment between a letter of forgiveness for intentional homicide and a letter of forgiveness for legitimate self-defense is like night and day!
Think of this.

Xu Liang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he added his words.

"According to Article 20 of the Criminal Law of the Republic of Korea, our client meets the requirements for constituting a crime."

"What happened on the night of August 12 should be considered as 'legitimate self-defense'!"

justifiable defense?

The crowd erupted in uproar.

Before the uproar could even begin, Xu Liang, true to form, spoke again, undeterred by any surprise:

"We believe that, apart from ruling it as 'legitimate self-defense,' this trial should also..."

Xu Liang paused for a moment, then suddenly uttered a few words.

"His 'heroic act' should also be recognized!"

See... an act of bravery and righteousness!?
You kill three people, and not only do you think it was all self-defense, but you also want to give them an award for bravery?!
Liu Xun, the prosecutor's lawyer, twitched at the corner of his eye, realizing just how shameless the person in front of him was.

Even the presiding judge, Zhang Bo, seemed hesitant to speak at this moment.

"Your Honor, the opposing counsel is using a fallacy of equivocation."

Liu Xun suddenly stood up, took a deep breath, and continued speaking slowly and deliberately:

"First of all, the opposing lawyer's claim of acting bravely and righteously is completely taken out of context and deprives the police of their efforts."

"The target of the trial is Zhou Xu himself, not his abducted child."

"The child was rescued by the police on the night of August 14th. From this perspective, the person on trial went to Yangtong Town with absolutely no intention of rescuing the child!"

After saying that, he added again:

"On August 13, the defendant, Sun Quan, dismembered the body and sold the pieces at the Hongfu Street vegetable market."

"This is entirely a matter of subjective, personal emotion!"

"This is unrelated to the abducted child; the other party had no intention of rescuing the child before we joined forces."

Liu Xun had already thoroughly analyzed the case before the trial.

As long as the focus is on Sun Quan's intentional murder of Zhou Xu, and he cooperates with Zheng Mei, his chances of winning are at least 70%!
"From this perspective, the defendant must have killed Zhou Xu out of personal feelings, with the intention and motivation to do so!"

"The defendant fully meets the criteria for intentional homicide under Article 232 of the Criminal Law, and intentional injury under Article 234 of the Criminal Law!"

"Furthermore, August 13th also constitutes the crime of desecrating a corpse!"

All three crimes are the extremes of the extreme!
If the allegations are confirmed, the offenders will certainly be punished in the most severe way, and multiple offenses will be punished concurrently.
"Makes sense."

"From this perspective, it was indeed venting anger."

"Hiss, why does it feel like both sides are right?"

The jury and the press corps began to whisper among themselves, their faces filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Xu Liang is right, but Liu Xun's analysis seems to make sense as well.
"I have concluded my speech."

Liu Xun smiled and then sat down.

Judge Zhang Bo looked worried and turned to Xu Liang, "Defendant, please speak."

Xu Liang took a deep breath, his brows furrowing.

Sure enough, these kinds of high-profile cases attract the most capable lawyers.
This level of difficulty is completely beyond what an ordinary lawyer should possess!
but
Xu Liang's brows relaxed.

He can handle it!
"I want to refute that what Attorney Liu just said—that the charge of intentional homicide does not exist; the other side is simply taking his words out of context!"

"Our client knocked Zhou Xu down during the rescue, and after he lost his ability to move, he did not immediately attempt to kill him!"

Xu Liang pulled out the evidence he had prepared in advance.

He had anticipated that the other party would use this as a starting point!

"Instead, we should first observe the condition of the abducted child!"

"If it was intentional homicide, the person should have been killed immediately. Therefore, the opposing lawyer's statement not only cannot convict our client, but also confirms his 'heroic' spirit!"

"Zhou Xu died from excessive blood loss, not from Sun Quan's hands."

“The abducted children can testify to this.”

talking.

Xu Liang handed the prepared evidence to the court clerk.

This is what the child saw after the cellar was opened!
The abducted person clearly recalled that Zhou Xu was not dead at the time.

"This clause completely eliminates the possibility of intentional homicide!"

Just as he said.

Based on this information alone, Sun Quan can at most be convicted of manslaughter!

just
Watching the opposing lawyer, Liu Xun, preparing to speak.

Xu Liang was not going to continue arguing with the other party.

The evidence submitted only needs to be sufficient to disprove the intent to commit murder!
"Zhou Xu wasn't dead before the rescue, so it seems he wasn't there to kill anyone."

"That's right, it seems that intentional homicide cannot be constituted."

"I thought about it again, and it seems to really be related to acts of bravery."

"."

All kinds of voices sounded.

After Xu Liang's reminder, the people in the courtroom also realized the problem.

The sound of discussion rose in my ears.

Even in the dock, the jurors and Zhang Bo discussed this information.

suddenly.

Just as the sound was getting louder and louder.
Xu Liang's voice stood out like a crane among chickens, suddenly resounding in everyone's ears.

As for the crime of desecrating a corpse...

He suddenly pulled a document out of his briefcase.

"This is a letter of understanding signed by Ms. Zheng Mei, the prosecutor!"

"The other party has forgiven our client for the desecration of Zhou Xu's corpse on August 13th!!!"

The moment the words fell.

The once bustling courtroom suddenly fell silent, as if dead.

谅.
A letter of understanding!?

The prosecution and the victim's family are about to sign a letter of understanding!
wrong
Sun Quan killed Zhou Xu, dismembered him into pieces, and then took him to the market to be openly sold and eaten as pork.
It's a blood feud, how could they possibly sign a letter of understanding?!

but.
Everyone stood frozen in place, mouths agape, staring at the document Xu Liang was holding up.

Liu Xun's pupils constricted at this moment, and his composure crumbled instantly.

He turned his head sharply.

He stared at his client with disbelief.
