Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

A knife that stabbed 17 times is not considered a murder weapon.

The stone you pick up casually is the real murder weapon!

The moment those words fell.

Prosecutor: ...

Hearing Seat: ....

Everyone fell silent. Some people stared at Xu De, opened their mouths, but didn't know what to say, feeling as if they had a fishbone stuck in their throat.

Even off the field.

Even Wu Jie, a veteran reporter who was used to seeing major criminal cases, was stunned at this moment.

Countless thoughts swirled in her mind.

"A dinner knife isn't a controlled weapon; it's inherently weak and unsharpened, so it means the person wielding it had very little intention to kill..." Yes, yes, yes, that's right.

"No, no, no, no. No matter how weak he is, stabbing someone 17 times still constitutes intentional act..." "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, drawing the knife is an 'unlimited right of self-defense'."

"No...yes..."

The First Court remained silent for a long time.

The audience looked at Xu De, clearly not expecting... to hear such words from him!

Even the bailiffs and court clerks responsible for maintaining order at the scene couldn't help but look up at Xu De in astonishment.

They looked at what Xu De had in his hands.

A knife that had been stabbed 17 times... was a self-defense weapon.

A stone picked up casually by the roadside... is a weapon!

This is truly something I've never seen before.

But upon closer reflection, it seems there's no logical rebuttal.

until..

"Objection! Objection!"

"The case is continuous and should not be segmented or interpreted in a one-sided manner!!!"

Agent's seat.

In a daze.

Fan He suddenly exclaimed, standing up abruptly. He looked at Xu De across from him, his face flushed, his teeth clenched. Damn it... why would a lawyer from such a small town think like this?!

"The case is clearly..."

Fan He was about to speak and offer another interpretation.

Unexpectedly.

Xu De's eyes narrowed, and he spoke again:

"Agent, we have not yet finished our statement. Your repeated disruption of court order means we have the right to request your recusal!" Fan He: ?

Fan He was stunned. The other party had been silent for a long time, and he still hadn't finished speaking?

Xu De ignored his thoughts and continued speaking:

"That's exactly how the real case went!"

"Regardless of the conflict, motives, causes, or consequences... our explanation has been very clear!"

"From beginning to end, this is a case of self-defense, and there is no premeditated murder before the incident, murder due to conflict, etc." This is a chain of evidence.

A logically sound and irrefutable chain of evidence!

The conflict arose when the two parties met privately.

The recording pen was used by Zhang Da to secretly record and verify the information.

The case in Green Forest City left a deep impression on Zhang Da, making her very scared. Therefore, she needed a prop for self-defense, but she had no intention of killing anyone, so the corresponding item was a kitchen knife.

Rape should be followed by self-defense.

The logic is very rigorous.

It was an impregnable fortress, even stronger and more powerful than the information provided by the police!

When Fan He and the prosecutor came to their senses and realized this...

"The logical chain of defense has been formed!?"

On the prosecutor's bench.

The three prosecutors suddenly looked surprised and shocked.

They weren't angry, but simply shocked.

First of all.

Let me think about it first.

Why are the defense cases the most difficult in criminal cases?

Because evidence is required!

The logical chain of defense is formed before the incident and then submitted. But don't forget that the submitted evidence can be seen by the opponent.

And then what? Of course, we'll target them specifically!

This is like playing a game and choosing a "fire" attribute pet, while your opponent chooses a water attribute one. How are you supposed to play? Not to mention, you also have to face multiple challenges and criticisms. Generally, a reduced sentence is considered a victory; acquittal... requires completely discrediting everyone. "During the trial, unknowingly, the defense is used to create a chain of arguments..."

Prosecutor Deng Shijie murmured, suddenly feeling a wave of fear.

even..

"During the formation process, the agent still felt they were in a superior position!"

If such a person were to become a litigious lawyer, it's hard to imagine what kind of impact they would have on society!

of course.

Is Xu De's defense chain flawless? Not at all.

There really is one!

"Attorney Fan, what should we do?"

The proxy seat.

The moment the chain of evidence was formed, both teams of lawyers were immediately dumbfounded.

What was supposed to be a debate... how did it turn into a fishing net?!

In fact, at this moment, all the arguments that had just taken place have become the basis of this chain of evidence!

"The contradiction lies in the rape. If there is no rape, then intentional harm is still permissible."

One of the lawyers on the team spoke up in a low voice.

Upon hearing this...

Fan He immediately rebuked in a low voice:

"Pig head!"

"Rape? Is that something you can even mention?!"

do not forget.

Not long ago, Xu Decai proposed the idea of ​​"discharge from the hospital".

If we say that Liu Guofu only had cognitive problems and his mental illness had not fully recovered, then tearing his clothes was self-defense and not rape.

Therefore, the person who discharged him should be held responsible.

Similarly, Liu Guofu would at least be confined to the compulsory medical ward for the rest of his life.

They are the plaintiffs, the prosecutors, and yet after the court session, their clients are going to be locked up for life!?

This is tantamount to cutting off one's own career prospects.

That..

Does rape exist?

They say Liu Guofu has no mental problems, but he was indeed raping someone?

If the "unlimited right of self-defense" hits you in the face, it'll kill you instantly!

"Damn it, where did this lawyer come from?!"

Fan He cursed inwardly, feeling that he had been tricked by Zhou Ning.

The other party's behavior was completely unlike that of a junior lawyer; it was extremely outrageous even in Haicheng.

At least.

Fan He had never seen a Haicheng lawyer, in a case, so skillfully construct a chain of evidence during the trial by exploiting the opposing side's arguments, and then plug the only weak point in that chain, causing the plaintiff to suffer heavy losses on their own while trying to gain an advantage, making them afraid to even mention it!

However... while the chain of evidence is meticulous, there are still things to discuss regarding the actions outside of it.

"objection!"

"Regardless, 17 stab wounds far exceed the scope of self-defense. Even after calming down, the person involved still did not stop, clearly indicating intent!"

Agent's seat.

Fan He did not hesitate and insisted on this point again.

Xu De once said that this was a continuous act of self-defense.

but. ..

From a pragmatic perspective

Stabbing someone 17 times is tiring first and time-consuming second.

former.

Human skin is extremely resilient.

Yes, you may not have realized it, but the skin that gets scratched and scraped from time to time is actually very defensive.

Neither the skin itself, nor the subcutaneous fat and muscles, are very difficult to penetrate with a knife.

Zhang Da stabbed him 17 times. Although some of the stabs were not very damaging, after more than ten stabs, he was completely exhausted.

After exhausting yourself, you still want to poke?

At the same time, the total time spent stabbing is also long.

Continuous, single-defense actions are inherently time-sensitive, requiring only a short period of time, while Zhang Da's actions take a considerable amount of time. Given enough time, he develops the ability to think, and after this process, he no longer possesses the "unlimited right to counterattack."

so..

"We maintain that these 17 stab wounds were a deliberate act of revenge by the victim!"

Fan He took a deep breath.

As long as you stick to this point, even if the other party doesn't die, they'll be skinned alive.

"It was also attempted murder!"

"Otherwise, these 17 cuts cannot form a logical closure!!!"

The words were spoken.

Fan He stopped talking and sat back down in his chair.

Zhang Da's logic in this behavior is untenable.

There is no court in the world that would rule in self-defense given so many acts of harm.

Even if the other party had stabbed Liu Guofu in the neck with the first blow and killed him, it would have been easier than this. After all, the first blow was indeed within the self-defense phase, and she had unlimited self-defense rights, which could disregard the principle of reciprocity.

The problem is that the number of times damage occurs is far too many.

After figuring this out.

Hearing seat.

Everyone felt a sense of satisfaction, their hearts swelling with joy.

"Sigh, no matter what... it's still 17 dollars. There's really nothing we can do. The case is a bit uncertain now."

"It's a bit of a sad story. Liu Guofu raped someone and got away with it, but when the other person defended themselves, they were the one held accountable... Ha, I find that absurd."

"There's nothing we can do; that's how mental illness works—you don't have to take responsibility."

"When will this law be changed?!"

"Who exactly is the vulnerable group? Why don't we just rename Liu Guofu's forensic report as a 'legal rape certificate'?"

Everyone was furious.

Currently, everything from the trial has been finalized: contradictions, motives, thought processes, the murder weapon...

But unfortunately, it was just a matter of those last few cuts.

However, the focus of the case is clearly on mental illness. If... if there were no mental illness law, Liu Guofu would have already been convicted, and none of this would have happened!

The crowd remained silent, their gazes growing increasingly furious, their teeth clenched.

The entire First Court.

Suddenly, the atmosphere froze, and an invisible emotion permeated everyone's surroundings.

until..

"Your Honor, first of all, we would like to state that..."

"We respect all the patients, and we acknowledge that the defendant, Liu Guofu, holds a certain vulnerable position in society." "We also believe that vulnerable groups should indeed receive some care."

In a daze.

Suddenly, a series of inexplicable sounds echoed throughout the courtroom.

Upon hearing this...

The presiding judge and the prosecutor seemed to realize something, and their eyes twitched.

On the contrary, the agent, who had not yet fully processed all the information, stared at Xu De in a daze.

Fan He had no idea what was wrong with the other person...

What's going on when someone suddenly starts agreeing with the opponent's core legal provisions halfway through a lawsuit?!

Xu De ignored him.

He was still speaking, as if chanting.

"The patient is not under the control of their own subjective consciousness, and is isolated both mentally and physically."

"Whether from a humanitarian perspective or from other perspectives, patients should be protected and included as a vulnerable group in society." "In a sense."

"They are not perpetrators, but victims of the disease!"

Inside the First Courtroom.

Xu De's voice lasted for two minutes, and what he said left everyone puzzled.

This even angered several people in the audience, who were already furious that a mentally ill person had escaped punishment, and then this person went on to say... until... "Your Honor!"

until.

Xu De suddenly made a new move; he abruptly pulled a document from his briefcase...

It might be a document.

He raised his head, looked at the judge, and slowly began to speak:

Similarly.

"The defendant, Zhang Yue, should be tried as a member of a vulnerable group in society. At the same time, the plaintiff's claim that the self-defense retaliation exceeded the limits..." "We would like to state that..."

"All of the aforementioned actions by the defendant occurred during an episode of mental illness!"

"After the act of self-defense ended, the subsequent harm was due to schizophrenia, resulting in a loss of both physical and mental control, and was not the defendant's original intention!" This is...

mental illness?

Suddenly.

The entire audience was stunned; even reporter Zhang Miaomiao forgot to take notes.
