Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

A forensic psychiatric evaluation report!?

Upon hearing this, the chief prosecutor paused for a moment, then, realizing what this meant, frowned and said:

"The defendant wants a re-evaluation of the victim's mental state!?"

"No... was it applied for in the case transferred from Midorimori City?"

A case was transferred from Green Forest City: Liu Guofu attempted rape, and then beat Zhang Er, causing serious injury.

In the case, the defendant's lawyer, Zhou Ning, attempted to exonerate the other party by citing mental illness.

If the plaintiff wants to win the case, then a new mental evaluation is needed to confirm that Liu Guofu is a normal person.

Even if Zhang Dayou had a recording of his acceptance speech...

But it still needs to be verified before it can be overturned!

Applications are generally possible, but right now the entire city of Chengdu is in an uproar and public sentiment is running high. If the other party applies at this time, the court and judicial appraisal institutions might be swayed by public opinion and try to gain more benefits.

Therefore, applying at this point is indeed both tricky and useful.

But then a problem arose.

"No, it can't be identified."

The chief prosecutor shook his head; he was quite interested in the case and naturally knew the inside story.

"Liu Guofu is seriously injured and in a coma, and is not capable of conducting a forensic examination."

"Unless he wakes up!"

How can you do an autopsy when the person is dizzy?

but..

"No, it's not for Liu Guofu's appraisal."

Deng Shijie's face... was it ugly? No, not ugly, but speechless? No, not speechless either.

His expression was hard to describe; it was as if he had "learned something new"?

"If we don't get the test done for him, who should we apply for it for?"

The chief prosecutor was taken aback.

Based on the current analysis.

There are two difficulties standing in Xu De's way.

First, Zhang Er's accusations were blocked by Liu Guofu's mental illness.

Secondly, when Zhang Da went to the hospital to attack, the "rape" committed by the mentally ill could be argued as a "mental illness".

These two points are unsolvable. The recording itself may have some effect, but it cannot serve as irrefutable evidence to kill the trial. After all, the person speaking is mentally ill. How can you be sure that the other party is not talking nonsense?

Of course, the judge's discretion is not taken into account.

Plus.

The fervent public opinion is constantly protecting Zhang Da, believing that she did the right thing and that the law on mental illness should not exist!

With favorable timing, location, and people all by each other's side.

In short.

If Xu De is the chief prosecutor, then he will seize this unprecedented opportunity presented by public opinion...

Completely overturn the "buff" on the other party that is called the "get-out-of-jail-free card"!

But here's the problem: he's not Xu De.

"The expert witness requested by Xu De is..."

Deng Shijie opened his mouth, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke:

"He believes that the suspect, the defendant in court, Zhang Da..."

"There are also mental illnesses."

"Well, in other words, the other party, Zhang Da, was on the same level as Liu Guofu, who was convicted of attempted rape in Chengdu and sentenced to no criminal responsibility due to mental illness, when he committed the crime at the Ninth General Hospital..."

Chief Prosecutor: ?

In an instant.

The entire office fell silent for a moment.

Chief Prosecutor: ...

The prosecutor fell into a long silence.

Although I don't know what to say, at least I've confirmed something else.

Public opinion was not caused by Xu De.

The other party now... probably wants the mental illness law to exist more than anyone else.

Beside the ear.

Only the voices of the operator and the residents rang in everyone's ears through the ringing of the telephone.

Residents said:

"Do you guys have any conscience?! When will the law be overturned for mentally ill people committing crimes that are not considered crimes?!"

"Tell me, is this case fair to the defendant...?"

"Why should criminals not be held criminally responsible?!"

The chief prosecutor glanced at the operator who had been scolded.

I also looked at the copies of Xu De's application materials made by the prosecution.

The chief prosecutor suddenly laughed, laughed inexplicably. He didn't even find it funny, but he still laughed.

"Hehehe".

3 month 10 day.

Xu De, behind the backs of public opinion, loudly proclaimed, "Repeal the mental illness law and give the defendants justice."

He secretly applied to the court for a "Forensic Psychiatric Evaluation Certificate".

3 month 11 day.

In Chengdu, the staff of the Intermediate People's Court looked at the application and fell into deep thought.

However, after discussion, the application was approved the following day, and an application was submitted to higher authorities to designate a hospital for evaluation.

3 month 12 day.

The higher authorities designated a qualified provincial hospital to conduct a forensic psychiatric evaluation of Zhang Da, the defendant in the "Ninth Hospital Case." Coincidentally, Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan Province, and it happens to have a top-tier qualified hospital there.

West China Hospital!

3 month 14 day.

1:30 PM.

West China Hospital.

Inside the Mental Health Center building.

Second floor, psychiatry department, psychiatric examination room.

Inside the inspection room.

At this moment, a gloomy, thin figure sat at the table, head down, silent.

This person is Zhang Da, the defendant in the "Ninth Hospital Case"!

Behind her stood two police officers to prevent the suspect from suddenly escaping.

Besides, there was another person... a doctor in a white coat.

The doctor, probably in his sixties, was wearing a mask. He didn't seem bothered by the police; instead, he calmly looked at the test report in his hand and asked, "What's your name?"

"Zhang Da," Zhang Da said.

"I'm using my real name."

The doctor looked at the name filled in on the other party's household registration booklet in his hand.

According to the household registration book, the older sister's name is Zhang Yue, and the younger sister's name is Zhang Xing.

"I have no idea."

Zhang Da remained silent.

"Hmm, the logic is very clear, and the thinking is consistent with that of ordinary people..."

The doctor thought to himself and wrote something down in his notebook.

He thought for a moment, then said:

Do you often find your emotions fluctuating inexplicably, sometimes soaring and sometimes plummeting?

"Are the auditory hallucinations severe?"

"Hallucinations? Have you ever hit anyone before? Or..."

Zhang Da, standing before me, was in a low mood and showed no signs of excitement.

However, what he said corresponded perfectly, and there was nothing nonsensical or incomprehensible.

The doctor saw this.

He nodded silently to himself.

Theoretically speaking, this situation is not a mental illness, and even if there is a mental illness, it is not the kind that is particularly severe.

The individual is mentally sound, emotionally stable, and exhibits no auditory or visual hallucinations, nor bipolar disorder.

Furthermore, according to the descriptions of the police and the person who conducted the investigation, the other party seemed to be conscious during the assault.

About an hour and a half later.

The doctor nodded.

He closed his notebook, preparing to conclude the consultation, and was asking his final question...

Have you noticed anything unusual?

The doctor spoke slowly and gently, like an elder.

His internal assessment was... this child named Zhang Da has psychological problems.

However, the psychological aspect should not be serious. Even if treatment is needed, it can be transferred to a very mild area.

Zhang Da replied:

"I."

Zhang Dahu hesitated, unsure how to describe it. After a long silence, she finally spoke:

"I feel like my brain... is out of my control..."

Is your mind out of control?

Suddenly.

The doctor, who was about to end the consultation, suddenly stopped. He composed himself and looked at the other person seriously. *Slap!*

The pen cap that had just been put on was pulled off again.

"Okay, please try to continue the description."

Outside the psychiatric examination room.

"Wow, this public opinion is really huge. If I were an official, I reckon I'd be having a terrible headache."

On the public benches in the corridor.

Lin Yue looked at the newspaper in her hand, a look of astonishment on her face.

"You wouldn't believe it, but I've heard patients discussing this case at the hospital these past few days... Goodness, the floor where Zhang Er is staying is full of critically ill patients."

"Even when you're sick, you still have to keep an eye on the case, let alone ordinary people outside."

Upon hearing this...

Xu De, who was sitting in a chair on one side, was also deeply moved.

"Indeed, there's a huge prejudice against mental illness these days!"

Xu De spoke truthfully.

He looked up, glanced at the sign for the mental examination room, and added a sentence.

"To be fair, from the perspective of a passerby..."

"I think mental illness also has its merits, so there's no need to repeal it. Even if the law is amended, it won't be amended until next year." "Anyway, it's best not to amend this law before the verdict is announced."

Lin Yue, standing to one side, nodded in agreement.

What about revoking the mental illness law to protect defendants? What about requiring mentally ill individuals to also be held responsible?

We, the judicial personnel of Green Forest City who are at the forefront of the judicial system, clearly believe that mental illness still has its merits!

Who asked you to help remove the negative impact of mental illness?

You stinking media outlets, stay away from me!

This moment.

Xu Debi, Zhou Ning, and Fan He still want this law to exist.

"By the way, that Fan He... he seems to be a senior lawyer in Haicheng. Is he a bit difficult to deal with?"

Lin Yue suddenly felt a little worried.

Seeing that Xu De beside him was still looking up, absentmindedly staring at the sign on the side of the door that read "Mental Examination Room", he noticed that Xu De was still looking up.

Lin Yue stretched out her two slender, pale hands and tugged at Xu De's cheek.

"I'm asking you a question."

"Um?"

Xu De snapped out of his daze, rubbed his cheeks, and said:

"So what if he's a lawyer from Haicheng? Just a senior lawyer at that. I wouldn't even consider the top lawyers in Lusen City a threat!"

He said it casually, as if he were joking.

Lin Yue rolled her eyes, but sounded a little coquettish, and said:

"A senior lawyer in Haicheng is at least as good as a top lawyer in Lusen City, and he has a lot of resources and a team behind him!" Xu De said, "Resources are only useful locally."

"What's wrong with the team now?"

talking.

He paused, then said with great pride, "Back in my school days, I was quite famous in Yanjing, you know."

"It's like swimming in the champion pool of debate competitions. I've faced people from Yanjing and Haicheng, so it's all just so-so."

Lin Yue's eyes twitched, sensing that the other party was somewhat arrogant and unaware of it.

"Do you think I believe you?" Lin Yue asked.

"I think the rule against pinching the face of the law firm director should be written into the law firm's rules."

Xu De crossed his arms and spoke seriously:

"Those who violate this rule should have their bonuses and performance bonuses deducted."

"What do you think, True Lord?"

Lin Yue:...

"Wow, was Attorney Xu this good when she was in school?"

Lin Yue suddenly pursed her lips, a look of admiration on her face. She clasped her hands tightly across her chest and winked at Xu De. "Attorney Xu, could you tell me how you overcame all those obstacles back then?"

"I admire you so much!"

Although her tone was somewhat exaggerated, those with thin skin might feel embarrassed and ashamed.

But it's obvious.

The shameless Xu De was very pleased and expressed his satisfaction.

Just now.

Suddenly, there was a strange noise coming from the door beside him.

"Squeak~"

The door opened.

A doctor in a white coat came out, and after seeing Xu Delin standing to the side, the doctor took off his mask.

He exhaled a breath of stale air, then hesitated and said:

"Are you... family members of the person being inspected?"

Xu De and Lin Yue stood up and began to introduce themselves:

"Not a family member, the investigator... well, just assume she has no guardian, her relatives are already dead."

The doctor nodded, not delving into the matter, but instead looking at the two of them with a puzzled expression.

"So you are...?"

"I am her defense lawyer and have absolute authority. You can ask me any questions you have," Xu De said.

The doctor nodded, and after a moment, asked:

"I'd like to ask about the patient's experience."

"What do you mean by saying that his relatives are considered dead?"

Xu Dedao:

"Literally, it means... around one or two years old. His biological parents died when he was one or two years old, and then his aunt adopted him."

"The other party absconded with the money when I was about four years old."

"After that, he became homeless and was taken in by an elderly homeless woman, who cared for him for about two years... Then she passed away." "The main things that happened after that... the police should have already told you."

Hearing this...

Even though the doctor was over fifty years old, his eyes still twitched as he listened.

This experience...

It's hard not to have some kind of illness.

only.....

"She's the perpetrator from 'Ninth Hospital'?!"

The doctor suddenly realized something, and a look of astonishment crossed his face.

He felt the information about this case sounded familiar, but considering that the mentally ill person in the "Ninth Hospital Case" was Liu Guofu, he didn't think much of it. After all, it was hard for anyone to make the connection between a mentally ill person stabbing another mentally ill person 17 times and something so absurd.

But now it's different.

He felt...

This really does seem to be the perpetrator of that case!

"Well... you'd better not make any wild guesses," Xu De said tactfully.

The doctor was almost certain that Zhang Da was the perpetrator.

But after he figured it out, his eye suddenly twitched.

Based on the information available at the moment, he could almost certainly conclude that the other party had a mental illness, but not one that caused physical loss of control; rather, it was a mental illness that caused mental loss of control, and it was very well hidden.

But then a problem arises.

If the other person is also mentally ill.

After the trial begins...

The prosecutor's office has a mentally ill person standing there, and the defendant's office also has a mentally ill person standing there...

The key is.

"Are you aware of public opinion now?"

The doctor suddenly asked a question.

Mental illness cases are generally not tried in private; that is, once the trial begins, members of the public and journalists will be present to observe. And public opinion...

"I know, it seems they think that mental illness is problematic and would infringe on the rights of the defendant in that case."

Xu De spoke up.

doctor: ..…

Oh, so you knew that too.

The doctor opened his mouth; he could already vaguely picture in his mind the public and journalists gathering to criticize the mentally ill before the trial, and the outcome...

After the trial began, it was discovered that the defendant had also been sued under a mental illness law.

It's hard to imagine how they feel.

Moreover.

How will the court hearing proceed?

Are the two sides going at each other with mental illness laws?

Doctors possess extensive social knowledge.

But now, he simply can't imagine that scene.

The doctor remained silent for a long time. Finally, the middle-aged man, his face full of emotion, spoke:

"You're never too old to learn. I feel I still need to keep learning... You only realize how little you know when you need it."

Xu De urged from the side:

"You'd better stop learning and just get it appraised!"
