Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Not guilty plea...

It wasn't a reduced sentence, nor was it a lighter sentence; it was... innocence!

The moment those four words were uttered.

The hearts of the more than four hundred people in the First Courtroom seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand, giving them a jolt and causing their chests to heave violently.

"Innocent? The defense attorney is here to plead not guilty!?"

"How is that possible? If someone dies in self-defense when there's no immediate threat to their life, it's basically considered excessive self-defense, not to mention that Li Erniu didn't use any particularly forceful methods to take the person away..."

"But the fact is that the defendant's lawyer is making a not-guilty plea, and the logic he presents is even very meticulous."

"If Li Erniu is indeed credited with initiating the attack... the outcome of the case is truly unpredictable!"

"..."

The audience was deeply shaken.

Reporter Zhang Xia stared in shock at the only thin figure in the courtroom.

A not guilty plea....

This is not a sentence reduction. You should know that to reduce a sentence, you only need to argue with the prosecution and find some information that is favorable to the defendant.

But being innocent is different.

Only if you completely overturn all the indictments submitted by the prosecution from beginning to end will the court declare you innocent!

This is outrageous! This is information that has been verified by the police, the court, and the prosecutor's office all by one person!

Just by listening to it, you can tell the difference in difficulty, let alone the actual implementation.

You should know that some seasoned lawyers may never dare to file a not-guilty plea even once in their entire careers!

And this young man in front of me... is he even twenty-five? Yet he dares to plead not guilty for Wang Qiang!

"Sister Liu..."

Zhang Xia felt her blood boiling, and she was slightly out of breath.

The middle-aged reporter beside her was already staring intently at the court proceedings, paying no attention to her whatsoever.

"Don't speak."

"Keep watching!"

Zhang Xia nodded, her eyes intently returning to the scene.

......

During the court hearing.

"Prosecutor, do you have any objections?"

Xu De seemed to be playing a game where he could go on a rampage; his sharp eyes pierced through the air and stared directly at the prosecutors.

"this......"

Wang Wei was speechless; the other party's perspective was very tricky.

By observing Li Erniu holding Wang Mei's hand, it was deduced that the human trafficking case was not over and that Wang Mei was in danger.

Furthermore, the indictment refuted the claim that Wang Qiang killed someone due to emotional distress, thus providing a reason for legitimate self-defense.

Wang Wei had no choice but to turn his gaze to Hu Guang.

Hu Guang frowned, constantly integrating all the clues in his mind and pondering deeply!

As for Chen Wei and Li Youcai...

"What? That ungrateful wretch has already been taken away by the police, so why is my son still considered guilty?!"

After Liu Cui understood the meaning behind Xu De's words, she was so angry that she jumped up and down.

She witnessed Wang Mei being taken away with her own eyes.

The people have all left, gotten into a car, and there are even seven policemen with guns protecting them. They're no longer in that woodshed.

This can be considered imprisonment?!

"Chen Wei, Attorney Chen, say something!"

Li Youcai, who was on the side, was also a little anxious. He turned his gaze to Chen Wei, the defendant's legal representative, and urged him anxiously in a low voice.

Two hundred and twenty thousand.

If they win this case, they might be able to get the other party to pay them 220,000!

Regardless of whether the other party can afford to pay, you can definitely make a lot of money!

Just when it seemed like the case was settled and the money was about to be in hand, how... how did the case suddenly take such a turn?

What does it mean that Wang Mei was rescued, but is still imprisoned?

"Speak up!" Li Youcai shouted angrily.

But Chen Wei, standing on the prosecutor's side, seemed not to hear anything and showed no reaction whatsoever.

Did he really not hear it?

No.

In the position of agent.

Chen Wei's face turned as red as a pig's liver, his forehead bulged with a series of thuds, and his bloodshot eyes seemed to want to chew Xu De up. His hands were clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh.

Can he speak?

can.

But would he dare to say it?

The lawyer in the defendant's seat actually dared to play logical traps during the trial...

Even someone as notorious as a litigator like myself has to be honest and use evidence when dealing with people like Chen Bingxin and Hu Guang. But the other side dared to try and trick me into revealing information during the trial... It's not just audacious, it's downright reckless!

The key is......

He dared not say it.

Indeed, Chen Wei was now somewhat hesitant to speak. After all, he had only exchanged a few words, but those few words had unknowingly put him in the other party's trap...

Who knows if there are any other traps waiting for me!

and so.

Hearing Li Youcai and Liu Cui's urging and cursing behind him, Chen Wei could only bury his head in the sand and pretend he couldn't hear them.

"Damn it, Sun Hao, you bastard and you teamed up with someone to mess with me!"

Chen Wei cursed inwardly.

"I'm not done with you yet!!!"

But no matter what he thought, he ultimately didn't say anything.

Suddenly, the courtroom, which had been arguing fiercely, fell eerily quiet, gradually creating a tense atmosphere.

In the dock.

"Hu Guang was speechless. Does this mean he... agrees with the defendant's statement?"

"No, I'm more inclined to believe that the defendant's argument came too suddenly, leaving him no time to find a point to refute it."

"Heh, finding a breakthrough won't happen overnight..."

"The court hearing has reached a stalemate, and things aren't going as expected. What should we do?"

"..."

Judges Liu Jianguo and Sun Dong exchanged a few words before finally turning their attention to Zhang Bingxin.

Zhang Bingxin thought for a moment and then prepared to speak.

He picked up the gavel.

"Bang!"

The sound rang out, and Zhang Bingxin had just opened his mouth.

"Now......"

Unexpectedly, he only managed to utter two words when a voice suddenly interrupted him.

"Your Honor, we have something else to say!"

In the dock, seeing that the situation was settled, Xu De did not hesitate at all. He immediately frowned and interrupted Zhang Bingxin in a deep voice.

Zhang Bingxin paused, feeling a lump in his throat, but he swallowed it down and put the hammer away.

"Defendant, please state your case."

Upon hearing this...

Xu De nodded, rummaged through the table, and finally picked up a document.

Zhang Bingxin frowned, squinted at it, but couldn't recognize what it was, so he immediately asked:

"What is this?"

Xu Dedao: "This is evidence submitted to the court six days ago by the victim's legal representative, lawyer Chen Wei!"

The prosecution.

Upon hearing his name, Chen Wei looked up as if in response, his gaze shifting between light and shadow as he stared at Xu De, his expression rather unpleasant.

What do you mean by "this is evidence you submitted yourself"?

Damn it, can't you find your own evidence? Why is it that every time the trial starts, it's either the prosecutor's or his evidence?!

And... what kind of evidence is this?

Chen Wei frowned.

Xu De continued, "The report shows that the mental evaluation conducted by the police on Wang Mei, a victim in a human trafficking case, was assessed as: normal!"

normal.....

Wang Mei did have some mental health issues, but that was before she was rescued.

The moment she was successfully rescued, it was as if she had been given a special medicine; her spirit was completely restored, leaving only psychological problems!

only......

Why is he saying this?

Just as everyone was pondering the truth, the next sentence came to their ears.

"Your Honor, jurors."

"We maintain that the defendant Wang Qiang's actions constituted legitimate self-defense, and that his conduct also met the criteria for 'acts of bravery and righteousness' in Lusen City!"

Xu De suddenly brought up the old story again, once again bringing up his act of bravery.

However, this time the logic is more meticulous!

"Chen Wei, the civil litigation agent, once said that protecting the relationship between father and daughter is a legal obligation."

"but......"

According to Articles 17, 18, and 39 of the Civil Code: An adult who is 18 years of age or older and of sound mind is a person with full civil capacity, and the legal guardianship of their parents automatically terminates without the need for a court judgment!

"During the period in which the incident occurred, the victim, Wang Mei, met the criteria outlined above."

"In conclusion, our defendant, Wang Qiang, stepped forward without having to fulfill any obligations, which complies with the local regulations regarding acts of bravery!"

Xu De still can't forget his act of bravery.

even......

"Furthermore, after the death of Li Erniu in this case, our defendant Li Erniu was not arrested."

"He turned himself in!"

Xu De's words, "I will not rest until I am astonished," were spoken.

Even Hu Guang, who remained calm even when his complaint was about to be overturned, couldn't help but widen his eyes, open his mouth, and frown as he looked at him.

Surrender?

Xu De did not explain. Now that he had gained the upper hand, he would not waste this opportunity and would create all favorable conditions for the defendant.

so......

"At the same time, I would like to raise another question to the prosecution."

"Prosecutor, on what basis do you conclude that the deceased Li Erniu was killed by our defendant Wang Qiang?"

Xu De spoke with a serious expression, uttering a series of seemingly absurd words without changing his demeanor.

His voice was loud and clear, resounding in the ears of everyone in the prosecutor's seat.

"Is it the statement provided by the police? Or evidence left at the scene? Or the statements of eyewitnesses...?"

"No!"

"During the time of the incident, there was no evidence to prove that our defendant, Wang Qiang, voluntarily stabbed the victim in the abdomen without being coerced or controlled!"

"The only evidence we have is that the deceased, Li Erniu, committed attempted murder, which resulted in his own death!"

The scene of the crime was extremely chaotic at the time.

With dozens of people gathered together, nothing could be seen clearly, and the police could only make a judgment based on the fingerprints on the knife handle.

But here's the problem...

In such a chaotic situation, it's hard to say whether someone grabbed Wang Qiang's arm and stabbed Li Erniu with the knife in his hand!

Therefore, in the absence of conclusive evidence...

What if someone wants to use Wang Qiang to get rid of Li Erniu?

What if someone deliberately grabbed Li Erniu and then had Wang Qiang kill him?

"Your Honor, Judge and Jurors."

"The prosecution's evidence is insufficient, the indictment is inconsistent with the facts, and the deceased attempted murder..."

"The defendant, however, has demonstrated a series of commendable actions, including legitimate self-defense, acts of bravery, and surrendering himself to the authorities. Therefore, we believe..."

Xu De took a deep breath; the barrage of "bombardment" had made his mouth dry, but he showed no sign of stopping speaking.

Self-defense + surrender + lack of conclusive evidence + act of bravery...

Several dialectical points constitute Xu De's last sentence.

"The defendant is innocent!"

"Please, Your Honor, decide!"
