As a Lawyer, You Sent the Judge In?

Chapter 386 The verdict: all four defendants were sentenced to death!

Yang Fan’s case has already attracted attention from the province.

  The city attaches great importance to this case.

 The Intermediate Court has also paid a lot of attention to this case recently.

 So after Lu Penghui discussed with the presidents of the First Criminal Court and the Second Criminal Court.

 Go directly to the dean’s office.

The case itself was under considerable pressure from the Intermediate Court, so it was handed over to Lu Penghui, the vice president in charge of the Criminal Court.

 Even the dean is quite concerned about this case.

 On the sofa in the office.

　　　….”

 Lv Penghui took a sip of water and said, "Dean, this is the overall situation of today's court hearing."

“Dean, as the president of the adjudication committee...so I ask you, the dean, to make relevant decisions on this case.”

 After hearing Lu Penghui’s detailed description of the situation, Dean Zhang nodded: “This case...”

“Everything must be judged according to the court process and the law, no matter how influential it is, but I agree with all judgments in this case.”

 “Good dean.”

After getting confirmation from Dean Zhang, Lu Penghui walked out of the office and took a long breath.

 With the confirmation from the dean, the review of this case has been completed.

 Just wait until tomorrow when all parties have completed their court presentations, completed the relevant legal procedures, and announced the verdict directly.

Lu Penghui rubbed his eyebrows.

 This case, from the prosecution to the filing of a public prosecution, to the decision to hand it over to him for trial and verification of various circumstances.

 Because the circumstances involved in the case are quite serious, the whole process is very stressful.

 When the verdict is announced tomorrow, we can finally relieve this pressure!

but.…

Lu Penghui glanced at the time. He probably had to work overtime today to prepare for the verdict in advance.

.

 ….

the next day.

 The court officially opened, and a large number of people poured into the live broadcast room.

 Because during the adjournment period on this day, this trial was forwarded by some media.

 It can be considered that it has expanded its influence to a certain extent.

The people who flocked to the live broadcast room were ridiculed by many people on the barrage in the live broadcast room.

“The court is in session, and the verdict will be announced directly this time. I want to know whether these four defendants deserve the death penalty!”

 “Don’t think about it, it’s definitely the death penalty and you won’t have to run away!”

“Speaking of which, I saw in the comments of the short video that someone who knew these defendants said something in the comment area online.”

“These defendants are not good people in the local area, especially the leader.”

“My family works in municipal engineering, and I may have some income in the past few years. I often flirt with female students in the local area or do some bad things.”

“This Wang Wenyuan was sentenced to death. I think what the locals said in the media comment area was that the sentence was good!”

 “Hahaha...people like this really deserve to be sentenced!”

　　　….”

 The barrage is filled with viewers waiting for the outcome of this court hearing.

 At the court hearing.

Lu Penghui banged the hammer and said: "The trial is adjourned and the court will continue."

“In this case, the criminal crimes and detailed information of Zhang Liang, Zhang Dali, Yu Wei, and Wang Wenyuan have been confirmed.”

 “No other objections.”

 “The court statements are now being made for all parties.”

"After the statement is completed, the verdict will be announced in court. Zhang Liang's assisting lawyer will first make a court statement."

 The situations presented by the assisting lawyers Zhang Liang, Zhang Dali and Yu Wei were relatively simple.

There are no exculpatory statements.

 Because the objective facts of this trial have been established, there is no point in saying more.

 What is an aid lawyer?

 Legal free assistance.

With such irrefutable facts, there is no need for the aid lawyer to state any other opinions.

After the assisting lawyers Zhang Liang, Zhang Dali and Yu Wei finished their statements, Lu Penghui asked the prosecutor Li Xiong to start his statement.

Li Xiong, as the prosecutor in this case from beginning to end, is very familiar with the specific and detailed circumstances of this case.

 The statement is also very objective.

 Proceed from the entire crime and related circumstances of the case.

“President, the prosecution has nothing else to say.”

“The prosecution just wants to state the crimes of the four defendants.”

 “In accordance with our country’s laws and past actual cases.”

“Under this crime, whether the offender is the principal or an accessory, whether due to arrest by law enforcement officers or surrender, or whether he refuses to plead guilty or admits guilt and accepts punishment.”

“It will not affect the final harsh judgment.”

“The public prosecutor still maintains that in this case, the four defendants caused the deaths of Yang Fan and Hu Yunyun, and it was a case of home invasion and robbery with particularly aggravated circumstances, forcing others to have **** and subsequent homicide.”

 “Recommended sentence, death penalty.”

“The above is the prosecution statement.”

　　　….”

When the prosecutor finished his statement, Wang He in the hearing seat looked nervously at the trial table.

  At this time, he paid special attention to what the presiding judge had to say about the case.

 It’s just that Lu Penghui’s face didn’t show much emotion.

 After listening to the prosecutor's statement, he nodded slightly, and then asked Wang Wenyuan's attorney Wu Zhen to start making his statement.

Hearing that the presiding judge put himself in the penultimate statement position, Wu Zhen sighed silently in his heart.

Why do you say that?

 Because during the defense before the adjournment, he was the only one who was thinking of ways to get Wang Wenyuan to have his punishment reduced.

 Originally, the defendant should have entrusted a lawyer to make court statements one by one.

 But this trial did not.

Rather, let him start his court statement after the prosecutor has finished his statement.

 Through this.…

You can see what the presiding judge thinks of Wang Wenyuan, the principal criminal.

 That is to say...

This court statement, no matter what he said, has no meaning.

 However, Wu Zhen acted as Wang Wenyuan’s attorney.

Even though he knew it, no matter what he said, it had no meaning and could not affect Wang Wenyuan's decision.

 But you can’t say nothing.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhen said:

“Presiding judge, I know that as the principal criminal in this case, we cannot reduce the sentence much.”

 “But I still want to express something that I haven’t expressed before.”

“What I stated before about Yang Fan’s emotional responsibility is that the defendants are all four young and strong boys.”

“You may tend to have a relatively immature mentality. You may be irritated by words, and your angry side will burst out.”

“If you look at it this way, then I think it may be excusable from the defendant’s point of view.”

"certainly."

 “I understand that the above statement has no legal basis.”

“But Wang Wenyuan and others do have thoughts of repentance.”

“There is no other legal basis, so I won’t discuss it too much at the trial.” “But I also want to ask the presiding judge to let our client Wang Wenyuan state his thoughts.”

 The request put forward by Wu Zhen is not excessive.

 Because in court trials, generally speaking, the presiding judge will ask the defendant some questions.

 Or ask the defendant to make some court statements, such as repentance or his own psychological journey.

After Lu Penghui agreed, Wang Wenyuan’s face was full of regret.

 Because he also heard from Wu Zhen that this trial was very unfavorable to him, and it was certain that he would be sentenced to death.

 So during the court hearing, Wang Wenyuan’s face not only showed regret, but also nervousness.

“President...I don’t know what to say. I know that I have committed this crime and I deserve to die.”

“But I was too young and blinded by desire...”

“When I was doing this, I didn’t expect that it would have such a big impact and have such serious consequences.”

“At the beginning, I really just wanted to tease Hu Yunyun, I didn’t have any other ideas.”

 “This result is not what I want to see.”

 “I know I was wrong...”

When Wang Wenyuan said these words, he bent his legs and cried bitterly in the direction of Yang Tiejun, saying he was sorry.

 And he is still begging Yang Tiejun to forgive him.

Yang Tiejun said nothing with a livid face. The person in front of him was the murderer of his son and daughter-in-law!

How do you want him to understand with just a few words?

  Understanding? It is absolutely impossible to understand!

 Until the bailiff pulled Wang Wenyuan up, Wang Wenyuan did not show any sign to Yang Tiejun.

 The moment he stood up, his face changed slightly, but he didn't say much.

 The trial continues.

Following this, Lu Penghui asked Su Bai to make a court statement.

Su Bai also knew that the collegial panel and the referee committee had already characterized this case.

 The four defendants will definitely be sentenced to death.

 He states or does not state. It did not have much influence on the final outcome of the trial.

  But...Wu Zhen, the lawyer entrusted by the defendant, has been talking about emotional responsibility.

It was also said that Wang Wenyuan and the other three defendants were young men who might become angry and commit crimes if provoked by words.

Isn't this a clear hint that Yang Fan was at fault?

 Isn’t this slandering the victim Yang Fan?

 Is this acceptable? I definitely can’t accept it!

Su Bai’s statement is also about this point.

“Presiding judge, the relevant facts and basis of this trial are very clear.”

 “We will not elaborate further.”

“We only want to present this case from the victim’s perspective.”

“From the perspective of Yang Fan and Hu Yunyun, four young men broke into their home for no reason.”

“Yang Fan was controlled without knowing the reason and saw his wife being molested. This is something that no man can accept.”

“Under such circumstances, Hu Yunyun showed strong reluctance, but could she refuse? She couldn’t refuse at all... She had no ability to refuse.”

“In this situation, the two people are helpless, angry, and desperate!”

“Rather than any emotional responsibility that the defendant bears.”

 “What does it mean to be emotionally responsible?”

“Is it possible to see the one you love being insulted and despair, and be able to be as calm as still water mentally?”

“The point of view stated by the lawyer entrusted by the defendant is completely to change the concept!”

“Based on the opinion of the defendant’s attorney, the four defendants are still very young and can easily be angered.”

“But is it true that people like him would have thoughts of murder and carry out such acts when they disagree with each other?”

"Won't!"

“So from the above point of view, the defendant’s appointment of a lawyer is only to excuse the criminal’s behavior, and has no other practical significance.”

 “And this method of exculpation has no legal basis.”

“We state that we disagree with all the views stated by the lawyer appointed by the defendant!”

“Presiding Judge, the above is our statement.”

Su Bai’s statement can be summed up in just one point.

 That is to refute what the lawyer entrusted by the defendant stated.

 And directly pointed out Wu Zhen’s specific thoughts and opinions.

 At least when so many people are paying attention to this case, the defendant cannot be allowed to entrust a lawyer to pour dirty water on the victim.

Wu Zhen looked very unhappy when he heard Su Bai's statement...but he didn't say much.

  After all, the most important thing now is that all parties have finished their presentations and are waiting for the presiding judge to read out the verdict.

 At the judgment seat.

 After hearing the statements from all parties, Lu Penghui sounded the hammer:

 “The parties have completed their presentations.”

“The verdict is now announced.”

 Hearing these words, many people in the courtroom froze in their breaths and stared at the seats on the trial bench.

Especially the four defendants and Wang He, their eyes were fixed on Lu Penghui.

 Hope that a miracle will happen during the judgment.

　　咚咚! The sound of the hammer falling spread throughout the courtroom, and everyone stood up.

“The laws applicable to this judgment are all in accordance with domestic laws.”

“The Dashui City Intermediate Court will pronounce the verdict on the four defendants Zhang Liang, Zhang Dali, Yu Wei, and Wang Wenyuan.”

“The four defendants committed several crimes including burglary, forcing others to have sex, intentional homicide, etc.”

  “And caused the death of two victims.”

 “The process is cruel and the circumstances are vile!”

“According to the provisions of the Criminal Law, the defendant Zhang Liang, Zhang Dali, Yu Wei and other three accomplices were charged.”

 “Sentenced to death and deprived of political rights for life!”

“For the defendant Wang Wenyuan, the principal culprit, considering that he surrendered, the sentence can be reduced, but the circumstances involved in the case are particularly serious.”

“The circumstances of surrender are not enough to affect his death sentence.”

“That is, sentenced to death and deprived of political rights for life!”

 Death penalty!

  All four defendants were sentenced to death!

 When they heard the verdict, the expressions of Zhang Liang, Zhang Dali and Yu Wei changed dramatically.

 Zhang Liang held his head and cried, while Zhang Dali sat sluggishly on the defendant's seat with eyes blank.

Yu Wei’s legs were weak and he kept muttering: I don’t want to die.

Wang Wenyuan, on the surface, did not have any reaction, but in his heart he was completely despairing!

 He doesn’t want to die, he is only 18 years old, and he still has a lot of life that he has not fully enjoyed!

 But what to do now? What can he do?

Wang Wenyuan looked at his father in the hearing seat.

 His father could always solve various problems for him in the past, and he can do it this time too.

 It must be possible!

Wang Wenyuan looked at Wang He in the hearing seat.

Wang He looked at his son's slightly panicked expression.

 My heart felt cramped, and I thought to myself: Although the verdict has been reached, the death penalty has not yet been imposed!

still have a chance!

This time, no matter how many people he asks for or how much profit he gives, he will definitely save his son!
