The Secret of Second Marriage

Chapter 309 Joint Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony

At the same time, the paparazzi hired by President Jiang sent him a photo of Shen Xing leaving, and he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

I increasingly feel that Shen Xing's departure is related to President Jiang.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, President Jiang drove me to the film set in Hengdian. We tacitly avoided mentioning Shen Xing.

……

More than a month later, Shen Xing's case officially went to trial.

I paid a large sum of money in legal fees; Attorney Guo is a well-known lawyer in the industry.

After taking over this criminal case, his main defense strategy was to argue that it was justifiable self-defense.

On the day of the court hearing, I wore sunglasses and a hat, a white long dress, and had my long, straight black hair down. I went to the court discreetly and sat in the audience.

Shen Xing was also summoned to the scene. During this time, he returned to his hometown. Although he was released on bail, he was still under police surveillance because he had not yet been completely cleared of his crimes.

The defense lawyer shamelessly said: Shen Xing killed someone. In that situation, those hooligans harassed actress Ms. Jiang!

Shen Xing could help stop it, but he couldn't kill the person directly. Causing someone's death is punishable by at least three years in prison.

Attorney Guo presented the surveillance video in court, saying, "After more than a month of development, this matter has become a trending topic and news item. Now many viewers want to see how this case should be resolved!"

The surveillance footage shows that the four burly men in black deliberately harassed Ms. Jiang that night. When Ms. Jiang refused, they became enraged and not only started tearing at her clothes but also tried to stab her with a knife.

My client accidentally pushed the other person down while trying to stop them from killing, hitting the back of their head and dying unexpectedly.

Throughout the entire incident, my client acted in self-defense, demonstrating courage and righteousness, and did not intentionally cause harm.

"Your Honor, the video evidence played by the defendant has limited angles. It only shows the thugs harassing Ms. Jiang, but it doesn't show them chasing after her and fighting each other."

The opposing lawyer was shameless, actually saying in court: "We have witnesses who can testify that they were at the scene and that the four thugs had stopped attacking. It was Shen Xing who wouldn't let it go, smashed a glass bottle, waved it around, and then went on a rampage against the four thugs, completely blinded by rage..."

We would like to invite our witnesses to the stage.

The court granted the request.

Soon, an eyewitness, an uncle with a slovenly beard, came forward to testify that he was walking his dog that day when he saw a fight and arguments coming from the barbecue restaurant.

He rushed over to see what was going on, and just then he saw Shen Xing beating up those thugs. One of the thugs was knocked to the ground by him, bleeding profusely from the back of his head, and died on the spot.

The witness said, "I saw it with my own eyes. It was Shen Xing who killed someone. The thugs stopped at that point, but Shen Xing kept pestering them, wanting revenge, which is why he killed one of them!"

"Yeah?"

Fortunately, Attorney Guo did not disappoint me. He immediately asked the court, "May I ask the witness a few questions?"

Once a witness appears, there is a cross-examination process, during which not only the court and the prosecutor's office, but also the lawyers for both sides can ask the witness for their opinions.

Attorney Guo stepped forward and asked, "Why did you walk your dog at midnight when there were hardly any people on the street? According to my investigation of the neighbors, you usually never walk your dog at night."

You usually walk your dog around 3 PM and 5 PM, then take it back to rest for a while, right?

"That day, I suddenly remembered I wanted to take the dog for a walk, so what's wrong with that? Who says I can't walk the dog at night? That day, I was bored at home after taking a shower, so I decided to take the dog for a walk. Is that not allowed?"

The witness spoke with great fanfare, but he was clearly a little guilty.

Because he is lying.

My lawyer asked a second question: "In that case, may I ask if you wore your glasses when you went out to walk the dog that day?"

"I brought it."

The witness said.

"But you mentioned that you came down to walk the dog after taking a shower. Don't you take off your glasses when you take a shower?"

"Furthermore, I observed the street where you walked your dog. It's a long street away from the scene of the incident. Even with your glasses on, you might not have been able to see the situation clearly. How could you be so certain at a glance that my client intentionally killed the person?"

Attorney Guo's sharp reminder.
