Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!
Chapter 156 Xu De: Mental illness isn't a crime!
Nothing to say...
Zhang Da kept his head down and remained silent, showing no intention of speaking.
Xu De remained silent for a moment.
Finally, in a daze, he uttered:
I apologize.
Feel sorry?
Lin Yue, standing to one side, paused, frowned, and for a moment seemed dazed, unsure who had said those two words to whom.
"Because of some experiences... I developed some cognitive biases."
Xu De spoke up.
He was fairly familiar with both of them, so he considered helping them.
Xu De concluded from his own experience that, with appropriate help from others and his own struggle, it is possible to have the ability to challenge fate.
Therefore, he did not push things too hard, but instead wanted to stabilize the basic living allowance and help the other person get back on track by finding a job or part-time work.
Excessive help will only make the other person dependent on you, turning them into an appendage without personal dignity.
Because he himself is an example.
But he forgot.
Personal experiences can lead to cognitive biases; not everyone is yourself.
"I'll pay more attention to you guys from now on. Okay."
Xu De spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Da paused, his lips moved for a moment, and after a long while, he finally uttered a sentence.
"I'm...I'm sorry."
"You're betraying yourself by trading your life for that of a mentally ill person... How could you even think of that?"
Xu De shook his head, his hands clasped together. He showed no anger or accusation at this moment.
The greater the pressure.
The calmer he became, the better he could resolve the situation.
Xu Dedao:
"Let's talk about the case."
"The voice recorder you brought to the scene was pretty good, Police University..."
He paused, then suddenly said:
"Oh, right, Liu Guofu is still alive."
He's not...not dead?
Zhang Da paused, then looked somewhat surprised; this was the first time she had shown any emotion.
Although her memory was somewhat hazy and she had never counted them.
But her subconscious told her that she had stabbed the other person at least a dozen times.
He's still not dead?
"You'd better pray that Liu Guofu doesn't die from complications before the trial and sentencing."
Xu De spoke, this time with a hint of reproach in his tone.
Then, he handed a document to Zhang Da, who was facing him.
The other party looked down and saw that it was a power of attorney...a defense contract.
"Let's sign the contract first."
Xu Desi opened his mouth.
"Then tell me where you got the knife, and why you needed it."
Chengdu, West China Hospital, Intensive Care Unit.
Inside Liu Guofu's ward.
"You must stand up for us!"
"That heartless beast, how could she do that?!"
"It's just rape... why did she have to stab our Guofu with a knife?!"
"This is outrageous! This is outrageous!"
Yan Fei looked at Liu Guofu on the hospital bed, who was covered with various medical instruments, and slapped her thigh and wailed.
One side.
They were several prosecutors.
It was Deng Shijie, the director of the D City Procuratorate!
Hearing these words, Deng Shijie stared at the other person with his cold, hard eyes for a long time before finally replying:
"Manage your emotions."
"This will cause the injured person to suffer further injury!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Fei immediately shut her mouth.
See here.
The prosecutors were at a loss.
Deng Shijie, in particular, stared at his surroundings and fell into a long silence.
When he woke up in the morning, the prosecutor's office told him that the case had taken a dramatic turn.
The case in Green Forest City is best left unaddressed.
First, if neither party can appear in court, the case cannot be heard and needs to be postponed.
But then a problem arises.
The procuratorate needs to hold Zhang Da accountable!
Indeed, according to procedures and processes, the procuratorate must pursue legal action against Zhang Da, and the case will naturally be handled by Deng Shijie. Deng Shijie showed no emotion in response, simply agreeing calmly before arriving with his men to intervene prematurely.
Yan Fei choked up for a long time.
After a long silence, he spoke again:
"She was just going to be raped; it would be over in the blink of an eye."
"But my child has to endure 17 cuts..."
"Tell me, is this reasonable?!"
"You absolutely must uphold justice!"
The words were spoken.
Zhou Ning, the lawyer on Yan Fei's side, then addressed the prosecutor:
"In this case, Liu Guofu's civil litigation agent... well, we will transfer the case to another law firm."
Zhou Ning was too weak to speak, but he still managed to address Deng Shijie.
"He's also a lawyer from Haicheng."
"I will have them contact the prosecutor's office later."
The words were spoken.
Deng Shijie nodded expressionlessly.
He then led his men away, heading towards another corner of the hospital.
As for Zhou Ning...
As Zhou Ning watched the prosecutor's departing figure, she clenched her fists tightly, feeling utterly powerless.
Everything was fine when I went to Haicheng.
When I returned to Chengdu... the client was gone!
Zhou Ning had a million curses he wanted to utter, and he wished he could whip Xu De with a belt for days and nights.
He is indeed a lawyer from Haicheng.
Haicheng is indeed one of the top cities in the country, with a high level of legal professionalism. Judicial systems in other places lag far behind, and are considered small places in their eyes.
But then a problem arises...
No matter how powerful Haicheng was, Zhou Ning had never heard of a situation where the two parties' representatives had privately revealed each other's secrets!
Unfortunately, you can only swallow your pride when you're hurt.
"Feed? Is this the Zhang family, Attorney Zhang?"
Zhou Ning took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, and began to make a phone call.
He couldn't accept Liu Guofu's civil lawsuit against Xu De, so he couldn't target Xu De anymore.
But this does not mean...
He couldn't find anyone else to answer!
In any case, this anger must be vented... and taken from that defendant, Zhang Da!
"It's me, I'm Zhou Ning."
"I have a case on my hands, and your legal team..."
"Don't worry, it's not a lawyer from Chengdu."
"I'm from a small town."
West China Hospital, in the corridor.
"Director Deng, isn't the victim's fault... a bit too much?"
"Rape. This is the most serious level of violent assault. Legally, the victim has unlimited rights of self-defense."
"Don't even think about it. One or two cuts are fine."
"But that's 17 stab wounds; that's not how you use the right of unlimited self-defense!"
Inside the corridor.
The prosecutors behind Deng Shijie whispered among themselves.
It is clear.
This case is quite complex and involves a wide range of factors, but overall, the facts are not complicated.
Deng Shijie, who was ahead, didn't say anything, but just kept walking with a blank expression.
half an hour.
Deng Shijie stopped in front of a hospital ward.
"Shh~"
Some people fell silent.
Everyone craned their necks to look, and this was...
The hospital room where the defendant and the perpetrator's family members are located!
Thinking of this, everyone paused, then moved their facial muscles, their expressions immediately darkening, looking extremely angry and oppressive. Deng Shijie first knocked on the door, and a voice from inside said, "The door isn't locked."
He placed his hand on the doorknob.
"squeak!"
The door opened.
The prosecutor behind him wanted to start questioning him immediately.
But the next moment...
"Beep beep...beep beep beep."
A series of cold, yet life-symbolizing beeps from a sophisticated instrument rang in everyone's ears.
Several prosecutors turned to look at the bed.
next second.
Zhang Er, emaciated, skin and bones, dressed in a hospital gown, lay unconscious on the bed, his body shriveled and emaciated.
The other person's head was tightly wrapped up, like a corpse... a corpse whose heartbeat could still be detected.
One side.
Qian Wu and Yang Bing stood up and looked at the group, waiting for the other party to ask them questions.
Several prosecutors from the municipal procuratorate of CD opened their mouths.
The words they wanted to say came out, but in a daze, they turned into something else entirely.
"How is she? When will she wake up?"
Yang Bing said, "He has been in a coma for two months. If he recovers well at West China Hospital, he should have a chance to wake up within the next two months." "How old is the child?" the prosecutor asked again.
Qian Hao replied:
"17 years old."
"How did it get like this?" another prosecutor asked.
"You should have heard that recording. This child initially tried to save Liu Jie, but unexpectedly got pushed down..." Yang Bing began. The exchange ended with a few casual words.
In the ward.
A silence fell.
After a long while.
The prosecutors remained silent for a moment, then finally turned and walked out.
"Thank you for your help. Please report back if she wakes up."
Qian Wu nodded, "Definitely."
The words were spoken.
The door to the ward was then closed.
Watching the other person leave, Yang Bing took out his phone, dialed Xu De's number, and said:
"Attorney Xu, the municipal procuratorate just arrived..."
Doorway.
Deng Shijie led several prosecutors back down the corridor.
The group walked out in silence.
In a daze, Deng Shijie, who was in charge, suddenly spoke, his tone devoid of emotion, and could even be described as somewhat cold.
"Fix the lawsuit; there's no need to dwell on this case."
"The prosecution must be initiated. The suspect, Zhang Da, has a clear tendency to commit intentional homicide. Liu Guofu did not die, which means he attempted to kill him." "At the very least, it is intentional injury, which is no longer related to self-defense."
this.
Should a public prosecution be initiated...?
If a public prosecution is initiated, Zhang Da will be sued in court.
In this situation, if the other party is an adult and takes responsibility, the most likely outcome is life imprisonment, and the least likely outcome is a suspended death sentence.
this.
Seeing that there was no movement behind him.
Deng Shijie stopped, frowned, and looked at the group with a cold sneer.
"Didn't you hear me?"
"We are prosecutors; procedures and processes are our duty!"
"The process and procedures should only consider objective evidence and clues, and should not be influenced by personal feelings!"
Upon hearing this, the people behind him nodded.
Deng Shijie nodded.
He was about to lift his foot and walk away.
But the next second, he caught a glimpse of the payment area in the lobby, and after a moment of silence, he took his wallet out of his pocket.
Seeing this, the other prosecutors also took out their wallets.
After some scraping together, the group finally handed the money to one of them.
"Take this and donate it to the Civil Affairs Bureau's relief fund. Make sure to specify who the money is intended for."
"Anonymous donation".
"it is good."
Everyone nodded, and without further hesitation, they prepared to return to the procuratorate to file a public prosecution.
at the same time.
In the Criminal Investigation Detachment.
"Okay, I understand. Good."
Inside the lawyer's meeting room.
Xu De hung up the phone, looked at Zhang Da in front of him, and said:
"I'm leaving now. If there are any problems later, please ask the police to call me."
The words were spoken.
Without waiting for the other party to react.
Xu De and Lin Yue then left the meeting room and headed down to the first floor.
Soon.
The two then sat down on chairs in the public hall.
"People from the procuratorate have arrived. They just visited Zhang Er, so they're probably preparing to file a public prosecution."
Xu De sat down in the chair and began to speak.
Upon hearing this...
Still reeling from the question, Lin Yue turned around in surprise and said:
"Are you sure? The police haven't transferred the case yet!?"
Generally, the prosecutor's office will only begin its investigation after the police have completed their investigation and transferred the case to the prosecutor's office.
"This case is quite sensitive. In a couple of days, it will be all over Sichuan."
"Especially since the defendant is Zhang Da."
Xu De slowly opened his mouth.
After the police issued a police report...
This case will undoubtedly be the headline news in Chengdu, with countless people focusing their attention on the trial, and the entire province paying close attention to its progress.
The case is sensitive and serious.
Special cases require special handling, so they cannot be dealt with using the usual case-handling logic.
only....
"But how can we defend ourselves?!"
"The case has too little room for maneuver."
Lin Yue frowned, her brows furrowing into a knot. She stood up, feeling somewhat anxious.
Yes.
The feasibility of this case is extremely low.
First of all.
There is a clear contradiction in the timing between the two parties. Secondly, Zhang Da took the initiative to collect information about the hospital's location and, armed with a knife, approached Liu Guofu.
At last.
"justifiable defense?"
Lin Yue proposed a hypothesis, but she immediately rejected it after uttering those four words.
"No."
"impossible."
"Seventeen stab wounds cannot be considered legitimate self-defense. Even in Qingwu Province, where the 'dormant laws' have been reinstated, it would not be ruled as legitimate self-defense!" "If Liu Guofu hadn't died, the worst charge would have been intentional assault or attempted murder."
"If Liu Guofu dies before the trial..."
"That's intentional homicide!"
Lin Yue spoke, explaining the current situation very clearly.
"Don't rush, let me think, let me think..."
Xu De also stood up and paced back and forth, his eyes revealing a thoughtful expression.
The case is not feasible at all.
Zhang Da's actions throughout revealed a sense of "deliberate intent," and given that she was an adult, there was no need for leniency or mitigation; rather, the nature of her behavior warranted a more severe punishment.
Starting with the defensive nature?
It did involve some self-defense, but it was clearly excessive, and not just ordinary excessive.
Who is at fault?
Liu Guofu is indeed at fault, and under certain circumstances, his punishment may be reduced.
However... it had no impact whatsoever on the overall direction of the case!
Where else can this be done?
Where else can one struggle?!
Xu De kept thinking, and before long, something suddenly came to mind.
Just as Lin Yue was pondering, a clear voice suddenly came to her ear.
"17 stabs... no, 17 stabs didn't kill anyone, which can only mean that Zhang Da didn't have 'killing the other person' in mind when he killed them." "That's not right, it doesn't make sense. Actions taken in the heat of the moment are usually aimed at the most extreme killing, it's impossible for someone to deliberately not kill, unless, he never even thought about killing anyone."
This only proves that Zhang Da wasn't "intending to kill the victim" when he killed them.
"Why stab him 17 times instead of killing him?"
What circumstances would lead to such an illogical and out-of-control situation?
On one side, Xu De murmured to himself, his mind racing with thoughts.
After a while.
He suddenly squatted down on the spot, as if an electrical wire had been connected in his mind, and his eyes widened slightly.
Followed by.
A sentence suddenly slipped out.
"Wait, what did Zhou Ning, Yan Fei, and Liu Guofu themselves say to us back in Green Forest City?"
Lin Yue was taken aback and looked at him hesitantly.
Which sentence?
Xu De turned to look at Lin Yue, his brows furrowed slightly. After a long while, he finally spoke:
"Didn't they say that mentally ill people kill...?"
"Not illegal?"
She paused at first, then nodded subconsciously, but after she understood what the other person meant...
next moment.
Lin Yue suddenly raised her head, her face showing astonishment as she looked at Xu De and exclaimed in surprise.
"Wh...what!?"
P.S.: It's almost the end of the month, please vote for me!
