Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 373 - 363: So Mental Illness Means No Death Penalty? Guess I’ll Have to Cheat for Evidence!

Chapter 373: Chapter 363: So Mental Illness Means No Death Penalty? Guess I’ll Have to Cheat for Evidence!

Gu Chen knew that this case had reached a point where it couldn’t continue any further.

If the lawsuit continued, the court might find Zhao Sisi not guilty due to the proof of mental illness.

According to the standard procedure, there should be an investigation carried out.

To see if Zhao Sisi had an episode on the day Li Zhengyi drowned.

But the problem lies in the proof presented by Du Jinglin.

Du Jinglin has already demonstrated that on the day Li Zhengyi drowned, Zhao Sisi had mental health issues, along with the hospital’s inspection report.

This is a decisive move.

Du Jinglin has already proven...

The only thing Gu Chen can do now is to adjourn the trial!

If not adjourned, the case would really result in a victory for Zhao Sisi.

Gu Chen spoke, "Judge, I request an investigation into Zhao Sisi’s state when committing the crime, to thoroughly prove whether Zhao Sisi had the consciousness of a normal person during the crime, whether her mental state was unstable, whether she had an episode. Although Du Jinglin provided post-mortem evidence, it was after three hours following the crime, not evidence from the time Zhao Sisi committed it."

"The actions taken by Zhao Sisi during the crime were meticulous, and she made the other party reward her through her livestream, regardless of what she did or said, the funds were rewarded directly from the livestream, not through bank transfer channels."

"The motives for both parties’ transactions are clear, and the methods varied. I believe this case requires a re-investigation."

It’s already impossible to continue fighting this case in court.

This case requires new evidence, an investigation is necessary!

If no evidence can be found during the investigation, then it’s impossible to convict Zhao Sisi...

With just a claim of mental illness, Zhao Sisi can be acquitted.

What can be done?

She’s employing a full-scale defense, leaving no options.

Judge Qiu Ming nodded.

Qiu Ming stood up, "I now announce the adjournment of this case! The date for reopening will be notified separately!"

The case has been adjourned!

Due to the significance of this case, it’s impossible to adjudicate immediately.

Even without Gu Chen standing up to say these things, Qiu Ming had intended to adjourn.

Indeed, Zhao Sisi had made many outrageous statements, but what does that have to do with mental illness?

Many people, regardless of having mental illness, make outrageous online statements.

This case’s complexity lies here, necessitating serious investigation.

Moreover, a foreign criminal A has been apprehended, and police are investigating; further evidence may emerge, which is quite normal.

The case has been adjourned...but Zhao Sisi still can’t be detained.

By logic, Zhao Sisi should now be a murderer, with conclusive evidence.

Yet, no one can handle Zhao Sisi.

Just claiming mental illness blocks every path.

However, the police can still restrict Zhao Sisi’s movements.

If Zhao Sisi attempts to leave the province during this period, she will certainly be stopped; traveling abroad is even less likely.

Since facing legal charges, traveling abroad is quite difficult. Even an LPL professional player was restricted due to legal matters, not to mention Zhao Sisi facing murder charges?

Viewers in the livestream expressed some helplessness seeing the adjournment.

[Adjourned...Damn it, Zhao Sisi should be arrested now, directly sentenced to death.]

[Can’t do anything, it’s a mentally ill person, how can you sentence?]

[The hospital diagnosed her with mental illness long ago; what can you do?]

[This is absurd, is she pretending? Zhao Sisi seems normal to me, is this what mental illness looks like? How can this not be an act?]

[There’s nothing that can be done, as long as you have the proof, it’s as simple as that—prove you’re mentally ill, and you can do anything, you’ll be cleared of charges.]

[Hahaha, quite audacious to say such things, bold indeed!]

[Don’t think it’s easy to get proof of mental illness, no one dares issue such proofs unnecessarily, and the doctor provided Zhao Sisi a mental illness certificate, suggesting she indeed might be mentally ill, or else wouldn’t issue such proof.]

[Is it impossible to sentence Zhao Sisi?]

[Very difficult...I suspect she won’t be sentenced, it’s quite troublesome as they provided proof of mental illness.]

[Ridiculous, extremely so, committing a crime and it’s fine? Why not hold these individuals accountable? Responsibility must be pursued!]

[Before it was often self-pitying, now it’s even more typical, mental illness involved—they now claim non-violations?]

[Legally, mental illness doesn’t require criminal responsibility after committing crimes. What does the law say? Is Zhao Sisi severely depressed or intermittently depressed? This remains unclear.]

[Absurd, utterly absurd.]

[Why can’t these criminals be punished? Committing a crime should entail criminal responsibility!]

Commenting viewers sent rapid-fire messages, somewhat anxious, unable to do anything.

Witnessing Zhao Sisi committing a crime, then showing proof of mental illness, what can be done?

Viewers felt helpless.

Just like a previous case....

A man and woman married, then the woman raised prices at the wedding ceremony. What was more demand for an 88,000 betrothal gift, car ride fees, name-changing fees, each costing thousands... along with giving several thousand yuan as red envelopes to her extended family...
