Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Innocent... Xu De should plead not guilty.

Is this possible?

I don't know yet, but... how will you know if you don't do it!?

Xu De never believed in fate; he only believed in himself. He believed that as long as he did it, there was a possibility and hope!

The human trafficking case was not stopped + self-defense + surrender + insufficient conclusive evidence...

Several tricky angles are enough to crack a crack of hope in a dark case!

"No one witnessed Wang Qiang intentionally killing Li Erniu..."

Hearing seat.

Zhang Xia repeated Xu De's words in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the clearer it became.

Yes.

The incident occurred at a chaotic time; even with police armed, they were unable to control the situation. Furthermore, none of the seven officers witnessed Wang Qiang committing the murder before the chaos subsided...

So, given that Wang Qiang's subjective consciousness was unclear and he was surrounded by a crowd...

Anyone present at the scene is suspected of using Wang Qiang to commit murder!

What? You're saying the murder weapon only had Wang Qiang's fingerprints?

In reality, you don't need to hold a knife in that situation!

Let me put it this way.

You've arm wrestled with others before, haven't you?

But what if, during a sparring match, someone suddenly pokes the back of your hand with a finger?

Only when the stalemate is broken, that little bit of force applied will make you uncontrollably knock your opponent down!

The same applies to the struggle between the deceased and the defendant at the crime scene, where they were wielding knives.

After figuring this out, everyone realized something even more terrifying, because the angle the other party had proposed...

"If this problem is true, then there's simply no solution!"

"The only way to prove it is through on-site witness testimony."

"But unfortunately, everyone at the scene is a suspect in the murder, meaning the witness testimonies cannot be entirely trusted!"

"But at the crime scene, there are only witnesses, and witnesses cannot be trusted..."

"..."

The audience immediately erupted in discussion, their faces filled with astonishment.

Even at the very back of the courtroom steps.

Some photographers who came to the scene just to record videos couldn't help but stick their heads out from behind the cameras to look at the judge's bench.

The defendant presented an unprovable and seemingly pointless argument.

even......

After these words were spoken, without Xu De needing to prove them himself, the credibility of the "verbal evidence" and "witness testimony" submitted by the prosecution was reduced by 70%!

Without these, what can the prosecution use to corroborate its case?

so......

"Could it be... that the prosecution is about to lose ground?"

Suddenly someone spoke up.

Immediately, everyone's heartbeat seemed to slow down for a moment, and then they immediately looked up, staring intently at the court hearing.

Good heavens, when have they ever seen anything like this... Can you believe the defense attorney was actually beating the prosecutor?!

......

The prosecution.

In the victim's legal representative's seat.

"Sun Hao...I will never forgive you!"

Chen Wei was still cursing in his heart. He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and the veins on his head bulged so much that they looked like they might burst.

To be honest, Chen Wei's mindset isn't quite right right now.

He was now almost certain that he had been tricked by Sun Hao and Xu De!

During the initial phone call, Sun Hao clearly stated that as long as he had enough confessions, he could bring down the other party, since the person providing the confessions was a villager from Lijiacun, and they would be inclined to protect him.

At that time, I believed his lies and only prepared a statement.

But to my utter surprise...

After the trial began, Xu De casually dismissed his only prepared statement with a single sentence!

Compared to Chen Wei's mental imbalance...

Although the prosecutors' emotions fluctuated, they did not lose control.

Beside him.

"This...this...how could they possibly produce this kind of evidence!"

Upon hearing the other party's perspective, Wang Wei showed a hint of surprise on his face, and sat in his chair for a long time, unsure how to refute it.

The new prosecutor, Zhang Qing, stood there stunned, staring blankly at Xu De, his expression one of utter astonishment.

Hu Guang frowned, rubbing his temples with his right hand on the table, pondering how to find evidence.

While pondering, he glanced at the documents on the table.

After this series of attacks from the other side... the things the prosecutor's office collected are now useless; they need to find new ones.

"I misjudged him. This young lawyer... is a tough one."

Hu Guang exhaled and gave Xu De a deep look.

Ultimately, attention turned to the judge's bench.

As for the direction of the case...

Ultimately, it all comes down to these three!

Of course, the hearts of these three were not at peace at this moment, and ripples were clearly stirred.

In the dock.

"Where did the defendant hire his lawyer?"

Sun Dong couldn't hold back any longer. His brows furrowed, and he spoke urgently:

"A tricky angle... and more than one tricky point, is this something Wang Qiang could actually get him to do?!"

To be fair, Sun Dong has been a judge in Green Forest City for nearly ten years.

But I've never heard of such a lawyer in Green Forest City!

Putting everything else aside, if the defendant were a wealthy person... judging from their performance in court just now, they would be worth at least a million!

And what about Wang Qiang?

A man who has been searching for his relatives for ten years, who can't even afford to eat steamed buns and pickled vegetables on a daily basis, is from the lowest level of the grassroots. How could the other party afford to hire such a lawyer?

"Don't ask anymore, this is legal aid."

Judge Liu Jianguo only felt a headache.

"Legal aid..." Sun Dong's temples throbbed, and he reached up to rub them.

Shouldn't legal aid be a bunch of lawyers just going through the motions, lacking professional ethics and coasting along? How did such a big shot get in here...?

"Let's think about how to handle the case first," Liu Jianguo shook his head, steer the conversation back on track.

"That lawyer's angle was very tricky. What he said... must be investigated and verified, otherwise even if the case is closed, the second instance will send us back for retrial."

But a pity.

Serious topics always bring silence, and the three of them couldn't utter a single word.

This kind of scene is very rare.

Why?

Because there is a set of unspoken rules in courts when it comes to criminal cases.

That is, "You argue your case, I'll judge mine!"

Often, no matter how hard the defense lawyers try, they cannot shake the judge's resolve. In fact, the judge may have already decided how to rule before the trial even begins, so the case is handled very smoothly and there is no silence.

However... this only applies when the defense lawyer isn't tough enough.

If anything they say can cause controversy in the second instance, the judges must be on high alert!

Is Xu De's statement feasible?

That's incredible! If the first trial ends hastily, these words taken to the second trial would be like a nuclear bomb exploding in the crowd...

so......

The case must be handled with the utmost care.

After a long silence, Zhang Bingxin finally spoke.

"Defendant, do you have anything to add?"

His brows were furrowed, and his hands were clasped together – a small gesture indicating his seriousness.

dock.

Xu De sat in his chair and shook his head slightly. "Your Honor, we have finished our statement and have nothing further to add."

Zhang Bingxin then looked at the prosecution.

"Prosecutor and victim's legal representative, do you have any further objections to the defendant's statement?"

After a moment of silence from the prosecutors, Hu Guang finally spoke:

"We... reserve our opinions."

Despite his deep resentment, Chen Wei knew that after making a major blunder in the trial, continuing to be stubborn would only drag the case into an abyss.

He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

"We reserve our opinion."

"it is good."

Zhang Bingxin nodded.

To be honest, the court initially planned to hold the first hearing and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, complete the trial of Wang Qiang's case.

After all, the case is so simple.

But an unexpected thing happened...

One person from the opposing side argued so convincingly that the entire prosecution team was left speechless!

so......

"Bang!"

Judge Zhang Bingxin, dressed in his judge's robe, raised his hand, held the gavel high, and struck it, the crisp sound echoing in the closed courtroom.

next second.

Zhang Bingxin's voice echoed in my ears.

"Given that key facts in this case remain in dispute and require further investigation, it is hereby announced that..."

Court adjourned!

The court is... in recess?

Instead of being overwhelmed by the prosecution's overwhelming advantage, Wang Qiang was forced to adjourn the court.

In other words... the defense lawyer withstood the onslaught, single-handedly withstanding multiple rounds of relentless attacks, and even turned the tables on the defense!

Suddenly.

The more than 400 people in the audience were all jolted awake.

at the same time.

In the dock.

Feeling utterly exhausted, Judge Zhang Bingxin glanced at Xu De with a complex expression, then shook his head, stood up abruptly, and straightened his judge's robe.

"The date for the retrial and sentencing will be announced separately."
