Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Chapter 41 The Prosecutor Amends the Indictment!

11 month 15 day.

At nine o'clock in the morning, an escort vehicle slowly drove from the detention center into the Intermediate People's Court of Lusen City, and disappeared after turning into the dedicated lane.

Several judges waited for the final moment.

......

Noon.

At the Intermediate People's Procuratorate of Lvsen City, several prosecutors changed into black suits with red ties around their necks, their faces unusually serious, and the documents in their hands were very tightly sealed.

Meanwhile, inside Yang Teng's law firm.

Lawyer Chen Wei looked extremely grim, his mood plummeting after being relegated to the background of public opinion for days.

He organized his thoughts on relentlessly pursuing the case, got into his car with a cold smile, and headed towards the courthouse.

At the same time.

Jinmao Law Firm.

Xu De was dressed in a suit, his expression calm, as if what lay before him was not some kind of monster.

He hailed a taxi and said to the driver:

"Master, to the Central Court."

......

1:30 PM.

The media reporters in Green Forest City, who had been quiet for a long time, began to stir. Women dressed up, men tidied their appearance, and photographers kept checking if their equipment was working.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Hundreds of people entered the Intermediate People's Court and the First Court one after another, vying for a good spot.

Reporter Zhang Xia was also on the trip, but this time she sat in the first row, the closest to the trial area.

Zhang Xia glanced back at the courtroom.

Turning her head, a massive, overwhelming crowd surged into her field of vision, creating a sense of oppression.

"There were even more people attending the hearing this time than the first time!"

As Zhang Xia truly felt, she turned her head to look at the trial area, staring at the several empty chairs, and a sudden sense of tension rose in her heart.

The case has been followed by a public outcry over the outcome of the first trial...

Clearly, more people were attracted here!

The four hundred chairs were not enough; the extra people could only stand at the back to watch, but they showed no intention of leaving.

However, the number of people involved is not directly related to the outcome of the case.

Whether he's dead or alive, and in what direction the case will take... it all depends on today!

Simultaneously.

Zhang Xia's side.

"It's 2:30, when are you coming?"

A man looked at the unusually quiet trial area, which resembled a still painting, with a hint of doubt on his face.

This person was Wang Chao.

That's right, Wang Chao also came. As a future partner of the law firm, he needed to be there to see if the law firm's leaders were worthwhile.

"Shh~"

Lin Yue, sitting to one side, made a 'shush' gesture, but before she could finish making the gesture...

In a daze, she stared at the main entrance next to the trial area, her heart skipped a beat, and her expression instantly turned serious.

"They're here!"

The moment the words left his mouth.

"Squeak~"

The creaking sound of the door being pushed open echoed throughout the First Courtroom, reaching everyone's ears.

Suddenly.

The previously agitated courtroom suddenly fell silent, and everyone held their breath, staring intently at the trial area.

Side door to the trial area.

Several men wearing bright red ties and business suits appeared at the door.

Prosecutor Hu Guang looked up, his emotionless eyes sweeping over the hundreds of pairs of dark eyes staring at him.

He immediately looked away.

"Da da..."

Leather shoes stomped on the ground.

Three prosecutors walked toward the prosecution table in front of everyone, followed by the plaintiffs Li Youcai and Liu Cui.

And Chen Wei, the victim's legal representative.

The three of them took their seats.

The prosecution has arrived.

A thought struck everyone, before they could even think about it.

The next second, the door near the defendant's dock opened, and a lonely figure appeared.

Xu De glanced at the prosecutor, but showed no other expression, and walked to the defendant's seat on his own.

Just like last time, he was the only one in court, looking outnumbered and outmatched.

'The defense is here too... just like last time, only one person.' Zhang Xia thought to herself honestly.

Following Xu De, the defendant Wang Qiang appeared in court.

The other party was no different from last time; he was thin and frail, wearing a yellow uniform, with his hands handcuffed. He was brought in by two bailiffs and finally sat down in the chair in the center of the judge's bench.

The crowd watched silently, their minds racing with speculation.

After a while.

As the clerk suddenly spoke, the words "Everyone stand up" rang in everyone's ears.

Zhang Bingxin, Sun Dong, and Liu Jianguo, dressed in judges' robes, slowly stepped into the scene.

The three men made no unnecessary movements; their expressions were serious, their eyes solemn, and the imposing aura they exuded was oppressive.

"Da da da..."

The footsteps moved toward the judge's bench.

"Sizzle."

Zhang Bingxin sat on the highest platform in the trial area, in the chair symbolizing the "presiding judge," with a gavel on the table in front of him.

He looked up, glanced at the people on both sides, and after confirming that both sides were fully prepared, he reached out, grasped the gavel, and raised it.

"clatter!"

The gavel struck, producing a crisp sound that sent a shiver through everyone, as if striking their very hearts.

next second.

Then Zhang Bingxin stood up, his loud and serious voice slowly echoing.

"This case was prosecuted by the Intermediate People's Procuratorate of Lusen City, and now the prosecution has changed the charges..."

Speaking of which...

He paused slightly, and then a series of voices continued to ring out.

"The scope of this case is: the defendant is suspected of excessive self-defense resulting in death, intentional injury, etc..."

"On October 10, 2002, a public prosecution was filed with this court. In accordance with relevant regulations, the First Criminal Trial Division of the Lusen Intermediate People's Court conducted a public trial."

"In this case, Judge Zhang Bingxin will serve as the presiding judge, and Liu Jianguo and Sun Dong will serve as judges..."

"Now, I declare..."

talking.

Zhang Bingxin's voice suddenly became more resolute as he uttered four words.

"The trial has begun!"

The trial has begun!

Moreover, this second hearing was somewhat different from the first.

"The prosecution has rewritten the charges in the indictment!?"

"The charge changed from intentional homicide to excessive self-defense resulting in manslaughter..."

"Tsk, it seems the defense lawyers had a significant impact on them last time; even the indictment has changed..."

"..."

As soon as the court session was announced, everyone in the audience was startled.

The indictment has changed!

What does this mean?

This means that the prosecution's charges in the previous case have been completely overturned!

Keep in mind that last time the defense didn't even have any substantial evidence, yet they managed to do this...

"I wonder what he has this time..."

Zhang Xia stared at the person on the stage, clenching her fists, then turned her gaze to the defendant's seat, looking at Wang Qiang's thin back, and thought to herself.

The commotion from the audience was not loud.

The message did not reach the trial area and affect the proceedings. Zhang Bingxin remained expressionless, his face hardened.

He turned his head and looked at the prosecutor.

"Now, the prosecution will read the indictment."

The words fell.

Prosecutor Hu Guang stood up slowly, holding a document in his hand, his lips slightly parted.

"Your Honorable Presiding Judge and Judges, I am the Public Prosecutor, Prosecutor Hu Guang."

「被告人王强,年龄52岁,出生于1950年4月17日,于2002年10月2日被逮捕。」

"Upon further investigation by this court, the indictment is hereby corrected: The defendant, Wang Qiang, because his daughter, Wang Mei, was illegally controlled, imprisoned, and raped by the deceased, was emotionally agitated and, during the course of self-defense, a conflict ensued, resulting in the death of the deceased."

"In conclusion, the defendant Wang Qiang has violated Article 234 of the Criminal Law and is guilty of 'intentional injury'!"

"Furthermore, their actions have violated Articles 20 and 233 of the Criminal Law, constituting..."

Speaking of which...

Hu Guang paused, then his gaze sharpened, and he blurted out:

"Excessive self-defense, manslaughter!"

"The facts of the defendant's crime are clear, and the evidence is conclusive and sufficient."

"This court has filed a public prosecution in accordance with the law, and requests the court to sentence the defendant according to the law!"
