Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Chapter 103 The court is closed!

The death penalty... to be carried out immediately!

The moment those words were spoken, the entire courtroom fell into an eerie silence.

death penalty..

The defendant, Liu Jingqi, was not sentenced to the initially anticipated 10 years, or even 15 years, but instead received the death penalty.

Execution immediately!

It's not a suspended death sentence!!!

One second... two seconds... three seconds...

The courtroom was so quiet that only the sound of each other breathing could be heard. Huang Shi stood there, staring blankly at the judge's bench. Even when he came to his senses, he still felt somewhat dazed.

The courtroom fell silent.

The courtroom was silent, but that didn't mean the outside world was equally silent.

"Death... Death penalty!?"

The main entrance to the Second Court.

The crowd, which had been blocking the entrance and eavesdropping on the court proceedings, suddenly fell silent. After a short while, someone in the crowd began to murmur.

These words were like a stone thrown into still water, causing a great ripple effect, as if a switch had been flipped.

The next second...

"Wait, what was that said in court? I heard the word 'death penalty'!"

"No, no, no... this isn't right. This case involves minors. Forget the death penalty, even life imprisonment is impossible!"

"Impossible, I must have misheard. Even someone who is ignorant of the law knows that minors cannot be executed."

"Even if we misheard something, a whole group of people can mishear it at the same time, right?!"

"No, what happened inside?!"

"6

""

Suddenly, the entire corridor erupted in excitement.

The massive crowd was suddenly stunned, their faces filled with shock and their eyes with astonishment.

Regardless of whether they know the people around them or not, they are driven by immense emotions and constantly interact with those around them.

The phrase "there is no way to impose the death penalty" clearly exceeded everyone's psychological expectations.

It's important to know that because the court sealed off evidence from the second hearing, evidence was not available before the third hearing...

The grassroots residents of the entire Green Forest City are just waiting for an indefinite period of time!

After all, the maximum sentence for minors is life imprisonment, so naturally they only hope for life imprisonment.

Even journalists think so.

Yang Jiale was abused before his death, and was even indirectly and intentionally killed. This even led to the death of Zhao Li, and the entire warm family was instantly shattered, leaving only a 14-year-old boy named Yang Huan alive.

Is it bad?

Extremely bad!

Not only was it egregious, but its consequences and social impact were also extremely serious!

Therefore, even if the probability of life imprisonment is extremely small...

Even if she is sentenced to life imprisonment, Liu Jingqi won't really spend her whole life in prison; at most, she'll serve a dozen or so years.

Twenty years.

Can...

They still hope for a strict trial and a life sentence.

"But what the hell is the death penalty?!"

"What do you mean, the defendant Liu Jingqi has been sentenced to death? Surely we couldn't have all misheard!"

"Who is the presiding judge in the Second Court? Where is he from? His accent doesn't make sense; he's saying 'life imprisonment' instead of 'death penalty'..."

'

"No, no, no, no, let me think... my mind is a bit of a mess..."

'

'

'

A crowd gathered at the entrance, and the scene became increasingly noisy.

Their eyes were all fixed on the heavy main entrance of the Second Court, their faces filled with existential doubt.

As everyone's gaze turned to the main entrance, they began to feel anxious and restless, some even unconsciously tiptoeing as if they could get closer to the entrance.

now.

This door is like Pandora's box, containing mysteries that attract everyone.

Inside the second courtroom.

In the trial area.

After Zhang Bingxin pronounced the criminal liability of the three defendants.

On the prosecutor's bench.

Prosecutor Zhang Qing was somewhat dazed.

After he came to his senses, an incredulous look appeared on his face. He looked up and stared at Huang Shi in astonishment, and then his whole face was filled with ecstasy.

"It's the death penalty!"

"The defendant has been sentenced to death!!!"

Zhang Qing was extremely excited. He reached out and grabbed Huang Shi, shaking his entire body vigorously.

.

He now finds it utterly unbelievable.

Liu Jingqi was sentenced to death, and even Jiang Yuqiao and Wang were sentenced to 15 years in prison!

As a prosecutor, Zhang Qing has a clear understanding of the law.

But it is precisely because I have a clear understanding of the law that I feel like I am dreaming!

From the very beginning of the case, none of the prosecutors thought they could win; instead, they argued for a higher sentence!

How many years is considered a long prison sentence?

12 years!

That's right, at most 12 years!!!

Furthermore, it's not just about being a minor; even if you are young, it doesn't have to be related to age.

What is meant by "young"?

18 years old, 18 and a half years old, which means just turned eighteen!

This isn't a meme about female live streamers online; it's simply a real-world application. Most people might think that once they reach adulthood, they immediately have to shoulder the full responsibilities of adulthood.

But that's not actually the case.

In practical applications, even if you are an adult, but at the time of the crime you were just over eighteen, and there is little difference between you and a minor...

The judge will still consider the possibility of leniency and mitigation.

Only when you are truly far removed from the age of 18, such as when you are 21 or 25, will the judge disregard this fact.

But the current case...

"death penalty!?"

"Yes, right, it should be the death penalty, or at worst, a suspended death sentence..."

Huang Shi was shaken awake. He mumbled to himself, his face seemingly lost in a dream, talking to himself.

If we were to judge someone who is 18 years old, or even just a few days shy of 19, they would be considered an adult.

The heinous nature of Liu Jingqi's crimes...

The fact that she "just turned eighteen" won't save her.

Why?

Let me put it this way.

The adult murdered a minor, indirectly causing Zhao Li's death; the adult refused to plead guilty, displaying an extremely egregious attitude; the adult's nature is incorrigible and lacks any educational value...

Each of these factors is a serious ground for severe sentencing!

The fact that "an adult killed a minor" and that Liu Jingqi abducted a boy at the age of 6 and murdered Yang Jiale at the age of 18 proves that she is extremely harmful to society and that her nature is incorrigible are of paramount importance!

Not to mention, the crimes of robbery and imprisonment committed by the other party also targeted minors.

It can be described as having all five poisons!

Taking all the above into consideration.

The death sentence handed down by Presiding Judge Zhang Bingxin was absolutely reasonable and in accordance with the law!

After figuring this out.

"Haha, hahahahahaha!!!"

Huang Shi suddenly smiled, leaning back in the chair, his chest resonating, laughing with great pleasure.

what goes around comes around.

This statement is a moral axiom, but it is not the logic of how the world works, much less a physical rule or the cornerstone law of social operation, and it is different from this statement.

As a prosecutor, he had handled far too many tragic cases involving joy and sorrow.

Good deeds are punished, and evil deeds are rewarded; the well-intentioned suffer injustice, while those with malicious intent escape punishment.

Each case felt like a knife being plunged into his heart, then violently stirred up!

At first, prosecutor Hu Guang was an emotional new prosecutor, but after experiencing many cases, he was washed into a mechanical state.

This isn't because he's cold-blooded, but rather because anyone who tries to understand emotions from a human perspective...

What awaits you is a mental illness powerful enough to distort a person!

But right now...

"carefree!"

Huang Shi took a deep breath and exhaled sharply, standing tall and proud, exuding an air of triumph.

As he said.

This case... was the most satisfying one he'd handled in his nearly ten years of practice!

All the pent-up frustration in my chest was completely released at that moment!

same.

According to the law of conservation of emotion

Where some are happy, others are sad.

dock.

"Hiss..."

""

Unlike the lively and exciting scene at the prosecutor's table.

The entire defendant's dock was utterly silent. No one spoke, no one moved; the only sound was their breathing.

Extremely heavy!

a long time.

Lawyer Sun Bing opened her mouth, then turned to look at Zhang Wei, who stood frozen in place like a stone statue.

"Attorney Zhang... Attorney Zhang..."

'

She opened her mouth, but once the words were out, she didn't know what to say. Her lips moved for a moment, but in the end, no sound came out.

But those three words were enough to bring Zhang Wei back to his senses.

The lawyer's bench.

Zhang Wei was somewhat dazed. Beneath his pale and haggard face, he glanced at the pile of materials and information laid out on the seat, and then at his own hands.

Death...death penalty...

His client...death penalty!?

No...that's not right.

His client is likely a minor, and there's no evidence at the scene to prove she committed intentional homicide. She could even argue for self-defense, giving her a natural and unassailable advantage!?

How...how can there be a death penalty?

Even the other two, Jiang Yu and Qiao Wang, have a minimum term of 15 years?

Something's not right... This isn't right... I clearly performed beyond my usual standard.

During the first court hearing, his defense against Huang Shi was an unrepeatable scene. His legal reasoning and courtroom emergency response skills were at their peak, and he crushed all the lawyers in Green Forest City in a short period of time!

With such exceptional performance and a huge advantage, shouldn't his sentence be less than 10 years?!

What the hell is this about one person dying and two people living for 15 years?

Are you kidding me?

Zhang Wei gritted his teeth, his fists clenched, his blood surging and his blood pressure rising. His already pale face turned slightly red due to the intense emotional turmoil.

The veins on his forehead bulged, his blood vessels throbbed, and his heart was roaring.

Are you kidding me?!

pity.

No one else knows what he is thinking.

"Defendant, if you disagree with this court's judgment, you may appeal within the prescribed time limit after the judgment takes effect."

On the judge's bench.

After presiding judge Zhang Bingxin finished announcing the verdict, he felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders.

He was about to say something more.

Suddenly remembering something, after a moment's thought, he said, "The civil compensation has already been agreed upon by both parties."

"The defendant, Jiang Yu, and his legal representative should pay the victim's family a total of 3 yuan in compensation, covering emergency medical expenses, funeral expenses, etc."

"The defendant, Qiao Wang, and his legal representative should...a total of 3 yuan."

"The defendant, Liu Jingqi, shall compensate the victim's family... a total of 7 yuan in damages."

""

"Defendant, defendant's dock, do you have any objections?"

The compensation wasn't much, only 13 yuan... 13 yuan for two lives is really too little.

Even less!

Since Liu Jingqi was tried as an adult, her family should not have to pay for her actions, and she herself had no savings.

Therefore, it's highly unlikely that the 7 yuan judgment will be awarded.

In other words, the total amount awarded was 13, but only 6 was actually received!

but..

It's just money.

For Yang Huan, reducing the compensation amount would save Liu Jingqi's life, which was a very worthwhile deal!

In the dock.

Zhang Wei was still lost in his own thoughts.

Seeing this, Sun Bing could only sigh, shake his head at the judge's bench, and say, "Your Honor... we have no objections."

In the defendant's seat.

With his head down and trembling, Jiang Yuqiaowang didn't speak, his face was pale and his heart was trembling.

Neither of them expressed any dissatisfaction.

It's just losing some money, even money meant for my parents...

Compared to Liu Jingqi beside her, how could the two of them possibly disagree with the verdict of a mere 3 yuan? They couldn't wait to pay the money!

On the contrary, it's Liu Jingqi...

"I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this!"

In the defendant's seat, Liu Jingqi seemed to have gone mad for a moment, her face showing deep fear and a look of terror.

"I refuse to accept this!"

"I admitted my mistake, I clearly admitted my mistake, so why am I being sentenced to death?!"

Her tone was extremely anxious, almost like a hysterical roar.

But a pity.

A verdict is a verdict; once it is decided, it cannot be rewritten in court.

Presiding Judge Zhang Bingxin, observing her loss of composure, said coldly, "If the defendant is dissatisfied with the verdict of this trial, she may appeal according to the law!"

"Now...

""

Court adjourned!

The words were spoken.

Zhang Bingxin took a deep breath, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, and stood up to walk outside.

As he approached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned back to take another deep look at the agents' seats.

This case is truly agonizing... They didn't follow any evidence-gathering procedures at all, just launched a surprise attack!

Thinking of this.

Zhang Bingxin reached out again, this time pointing forcefully at the other person, before turning and leaving.

Agent's seat.

"Attorney Xu, was the judge praising you just now?"

Wang Chao watched Zhang Bingxin's departing figure, raised an eyebrow, and said thoughtfully.

He felt that the other party was quite fair.

Before leaving, I would like to give special praise to him for his outstanding performance in this court hearing!

"Oh."

Xu De ignored him and exhaled a deep breath before leaning back in his chair.

After relaxing completely, he suddenly opened his eyes again and spread his palms out.

His palms were already covered in sweat.

This case was handled to its fullest potential; the evidence collection, the timing of its application, and the examination process were all top-notch.

However... the plaintiff only has the right to file a complaint.

The power to convict lies with the judge!

If Zhang Bingxin is unwilling to bear the pressure... then the other party could simply sentence him to death with a two-year reprieve.

There are many interpretations of the suspended death sentence in 2002. Sometimes, even 50% of the sentence may not need to be served. In other words, if the death sentence is suspended, Xu De can be considered to have lost the case.

The good news is...

They won.

We won the case!

One person died and two people died 15 years later; this can be described as a great victory!

Thinking of this, Xu De stood up, feeling as if he had lost ten pounds and felt light all over. He patted Wang Chao and Lin Yue on the shoulder.

Xu De looked at the main gate and smiled, "Let's go."

"Time to go out and enjoy the spoils of war!"
