Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 336 - 335: Death Penalty for All, No One Escapes
Zhang Wei was quite pleased, then he turned off the live stream.
The director didn’t watch the live stream either; he just needed to know that the netizens spoke highly of Zhang Fei and that clients didn’t leave bad reviews. Everyone was happy!
At the same time.
In the courtroom.
Gu Chen was somewhat speechless.
When he first started working on cases, he encountered all top-notch lawyers.
But even when encountering top-notch lawyers, he wasn’t afraid!
No matter what kind of top-notch lawyer, he could easily handle the lawsuit.
But ever since meeting Zhang Wei and Zhang Fei, these two industry lawyers with zero bad reviews, Gu Chen was left speechless.
This time, Gu Chen admitted he lost.
He couldn’t figure out how to sentence Chen Rui and Chen Ge to death, but Zhang Fei just said it out.
If they could really be sentenced to death, Gu Chen would make sure to credit Zhang Fei.
When hiring for his law firm, he must not recruit these two genius lawyers.
Chen Hao, Chen Rui, and Chen Ge all looked furious.
Chen Rui said, "Chen Hao, is this the lawyer you hired? What nonsense lawyer is this?"
Chen Hao said, "I had no choice. The lawyer offered a big discount, said the firm was running a promotion, and for 50 bucks, they’d take the case..."
Chen Rui: "..."
Chen Rui: "Your Honor, I have something to say!"
Chen Rui wanted to stand up and defend himself.
What kind of incompetent lawyer was this, he couldn’t depend on them at all!
The presiding judge, Lin Fan, nodded and said, "You may state your case."
Chen Rui said, "Don’t listen to Xia Ling’s nonsense. Does she have evidence?"
"She’s just making things up! Let me tell you what actually happened!"
"First, we paid to find someone to introduce a daughter-in-law for us. I was helping my son with a match, I spent ten thousand yuan, and they sent Xia Ling over. I thought Xia Ling was here for the matchmaking, so I brought her to our house."
"Second, the relationship between Xia Ling and my son was entirely voluntary. Xia Ling said she wanted to bear three children for my son, saying marrying him was her blessing."
"Third, all the injuries on Xia Ling’s body were caused by her falling down. Once during a quarrel with my son, he disciplined her a bit. Who knew her skin was so tender—it’s actually just some superficial wounds, nothing major at all. It’s normal for couples to have occasional fights.
Moreover, many of the wounds on Xia Ling’s body were self-inflicted. After quarreling with my son, she left home, got lost in the mountains, and hurt herself. If the villagers hadn’t saved her, she might have died in the mountains by now.
"Fourth, the pig food and all that are false. Would we possibly give pig food to our daughter-in-law? For this month, we were eating leftovers ourselves. Didn’t we give Xia Ling the best we had?"
"Your Honor, in conclusion, we are innocent!"
"We didn’t know Xia Ling was kidnapped, nor did we intentionally beat her or chain her up. She made these claims to retaliate against us, without any evidence!"
"Therefore, I, my husband, and my son should all be acquitted!"
"Xia Ling should return those ten thousand yuan to us, after all, we spent ten thousand to buy her as our daughter-in-law. She must bear this loss! Xia Ling should also refund our medical fees. She got hurt, and we didn’t cover the medical costs! Though it’s a village clinic, the medical fees still amounted to 5,000 yuan, plus the monthly food expenses, calculated at 200 yuan a day, that’s 6,000 yuan a month."
"Xia Ling should compensate us 21,000 yuan and for falsely accusing us, the judge should sentence Xia Ling to three years!"
Chen Ge nodded, "Yes, yes, my wife is right, Xia Ling willingly slept with my son, and those wounds were self-inflicted! She should be the one compensating us!!"
Chen Hao also nodded on the side, "I can testify! Xia Ling was truly voluntary! You don’t know what she is like behind the scenes! You have no idea how lewd Xia Ling is!"
"And we are three witnesses; Xia Ling is just one person making things up, where’s the evidence?"
Chen Hao, Chen Rui, and Chen Ge talked for quite a while.
Xia Ling, in the audience, was so anxious she was about to cry.
How could they slander someone like this?
The netizens in the live stream were also speechless.
They had seen shameless, but not this shameless.
Gu Chen said, "Your Honor, the three defendants have not realized their mistakes and are falsely accusing Xia Ling. They must be severely punished!!"
For the statements these three made in court, Gu Chen didn’t even need to refute.
Because the evidence was already complete!
Whether it was the testimonies of the three human traffickers, or the testimonies of other villagers... they all corroborated each other.
Chen Hao and the others might be stubborn, but the traffickers wouldn’t be. The other villagers were also telling the truth.
The more Chen Hao’s family said, the more they were incriminating themselves.
If they realized their errors, they might receive leniency.
This case, Gu Chen knew, it was hard to sentence these three to death.
Not to mention Chen Rui and Chen Ge, even sentencing Chen Hao to death was hard.
Xia Ling was indeed injured, but not severely, just a lot of superficial wounds, looking frightening.
But Xia Ling could still move about lively, after some rest and recuperation, she would be fine.
Initially, it was tough to sentence them to death, but these three defendants, along with their lawyer, were heading straight to self-sabotage.
As a result, these three defendants might actually face the death penalty!
Even at this point, Chen Rui, Chen Hao, and Chen Ge were still falsely accusing in court.
Given that this case involves a large number of people being sentenced, the court would announce the verdict as soon as a decision was reached.
They couldn’t possibly go through hundreds of villagers one by one to consolidate a unified verdict.
At this moment....
Gu Chen looked at the other two people on the defendants’ stand! 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
First, sentence the few people on the stand before addressing the rest of the villagers!
No one should be let off!
Gu Chen said, "There are two more people on the defendants’ stand!"
"One is Li Guipeng, the other is Duan Hailong!"
Li Guipeng is the person who incited the villagers to make trouble.
Duan Hailong is this sixty-year-old man!
Duan Hailong kidnapped Xue Yaoyao, resulting in her loss of freedom for six years and she bore him three children...
And besides inciting the villagers, Li Guipeng also has a "wife," who is exactly Yue Hongling.
Yue Hongling was kidnapped for three years, she’s twenty-one this year, and has given birth to two children for Li Guipeng...
After being rescued, Yue Hongling no longer resembles a twenty-year-old girl but looks more like someone in their forties....
Yue Hongling, with her two children, had lost all light in her eyes.
Yue Hongling has accepted her fate; she doesn’t have any major mental issues.
But Xue Yaoyao suffered greatly....
Xue Yaoyao, mentally deranged, has turned into a madwoman.
After being taken home by her family, Xue Yaoyao doesn’t even recognize them anymore.
So... these two also can’t escape!
