Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 340 - 339: The Case Is Closed!

Presiding Judge Lin Fan finished speaking.

Everyone present clapped.

Lin Fan continued, "Now I will proceed to announce the verdict."

"Li Guipeng kidnapped Yue Hongling for three years, during which Yue Hongling gave birth to two children. He is guilty of kidnapping, rape, and repeatedly committing domestic violence, assault, and acts of violence, leading to severe consequences."

"Furthermore, Li Guipeng frequently led villagers in resisting law enforcement and injured officers in the process. Despite Yue Hongling having written a letter of understanding, and although Li Guipeng showed signs of remorse, the severity of the case makes it inappropriate for this court to show leniency or reduce his punishment."

"Li Guipeng’s murder of Wang Tingting is backed by solid evidence, and he is guilty of intentional homicide. According to Article 232 of the Criminal Law, Li Guipeng is sentenced to death, deprived of political rights for life, and all personal property is confiscated!"

Death penalty!

Once again, the death penalty!

This case of Li Guipeng is even more serious than that of Chen Hao and Duan Hailong!

For multiple crimes, the death penalty is warranted!

Moreover, Li Guipeng intentionally committed murder...

Intentional murder mandates the death penalty; there’s no escaping it!

[Good, good, good, all must face the death penalty!]

[All these criminals face the death penalty!]

[Lawyer Gu is awesome, Lawless Madman is awesome, no one deserving the death penalty should be spared!]

[The nature of these crimes is heinous. How many victims are there? They should be sentenced as deserved!]

[No criminal in this village should be spared!]

This trial, up to this point, was just a start.

Only a few individuals had their crimes set earlier....

There are many more lawbreakers in the village.

However, among those lawbreakers, many have relatively light offenses and will be judged according to the law.

[Royal Palace, Xiaojing Village’s headman, is suspected of kidnapping, rape, human trafficking, leading law resistance, embezzling 3 million yuan, sentenced to death, stripped of political rights for life, expelled from the Party, and all personal property confiscated.]

[Li Hao, guilty of rape, illegal detention, inflicting bodily harm through violence, and purchasing trafficked women, sentenced to life imprisonment.]

[Zhang Gui, aided others in committing rape, violently assaulted others, obstructed law enforcement, purchased trafficked women, sentenced to 13 years in prison.]

[....]

[Zhao Kainiu, committed rape, purchasing trafficked women, resisting law enforcement, significant remorse shown, granted leniency, sentenced to seven years in prison.]

[Shen Yiming, assisted others in rape, resisted law enforcement, helped others in violent assaults, but showed a good attitude in confessing, sentenced to three years in prison.]

The court has finally finished all the sentencing!

Ten were sentenced to death!

Five people were sentenced to life imprisonment.

As for the remaining suspects, they were judged according to the law, with the shortest sentence being three years!

Presiding Judge Lin Fan spoke: "If you disagree with this verdict, you may appeal to this court or the higher people’s court within ten days after receiving the judgment."

"Now, this case is concluded, and the court is adjourned!"

With that, the case was fully judged.

All judgments were completed!

In this village, all villagers that violated the law were sentenced!

No one could escape!

The law is vast and rigorous; no one can escape its reach!

Once you violate the law, you should face its consequences!

Because of this case....

A trend of cracking down on illegal activities has even swept across the nation!

The netizens in the live broadcast room went completely wild.

[The judgments are all done! Awesome, all lawbreakers are in custody!]

[This is the Lawless Madman!!]

[I truly admire Lawyer Gu, the case which the police couldn’t solve in a month, Lawyer Gu investigated it and got it closed within less than twenty days!]

[Lawyer Gu should be renamed the Great Detective! This is the Lawless Madman.]

[This feels so satisfying, truly satisfying, though it’s a pity for those girls. Each kidnapper individually deserves the death penalty!]

.....

After the case was closed, Gu Chen took Xue Qingqing to visit Xia Ling’s home.

Xia Ling had already been discharged from the hospital, and her mental state seemed quite good.

Xia Ling needed to return to school to continue her studies...

Gu Chen learned about Xia Ling’s situation and found out she was majoring in finance and excelled in her studies.

Gu Chen said, "After you graduate, you might consider working at our law firm, make sure to contact me then. Don’t worry about anything else, and still be careful when you’re out and about."

Xia Ling nodded, "Thank you, Lawyer Gu. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know how long I would have stayed in that village.... Lawyer Gu, I’ll definitely work at your law firm after graduation, even if it’s without pay!"

Gu Chen chuckled, "It’s not as if we don’t pay our employees. So that’s settled; we have to head back to Capital City now."

Xia Ling said, "Lawyer Gu, isn’t this case not yet over? I assume that those sentenced to death will appeal, as they will definitely not skip the secondary trial."

Gu Chen said, "It’s alright, secondary trial or not. This case was originally prosecuted by the prosecution with the public prosecutor. I attended the first trial to help secure civil compensation for you. Of course, I specialize more in criminal cases, so the prosecution also entrusted me with lawyer duties, so I was essentially helping out. Don’t worry about the secondary trial; what’s meant to be sentenced will still be as such."

"The law won’t change the ruling just because they submitted for an appeal; their criminal nature is too severe. So, they’ll still face the death penalty unless there’s new evidence, but this case is pretty much a settled deal now, with nothing much that can change."

Xia Ling nodded.

...

After stepping out the door, Xue Qingqing said, "Boss, we’re back in Capital City finally; we can have a good rest. It’s been so exhausting; just arriving in Capital City, and yet you’ve been so busy. You haven’t even started giving lectures at the university yet."

Gu Chen laughed, "You can rest, but I still can’t. I need to teach students and prepare lessons well."

Soon, Gu Chen and Xue Qingqing boarded a plane back to Capital City.

As soon as they returned to Capital City, Gu Chen had a new task.

Teach at Peking University!

He is now a professor at Peking University and considered a regular staff member.

Gu Chen is quite happy to lecture the students at Peking University Law School.

Rest? That’s out of the question!

Before he could even settle in, his assistant Yan Yuting approached him.

Yan Yuting said, "Boss, something happened. There’s a case that requires your attention, and other lawyers at the firm all feel it’s quite tricky. Online, lawyers express that they can’t convict this girl or pursue criminal liability...yet the victim’s family is in deep pain."

"The victim’s family is at their wits’ end, and then they sought our law firm. It’s been three days, causing quite an uproar online."

"The victim’s family is a woman with triplets... but her husband is gone, her husband was a firefighter. While returning home from work, he found a 20-year-old girl jumping into the river... and then the incident happened."
