As a Lawyer, You Sent the Judge In?

Chapter 394: The court stated that she was just a ten-year-old girl!

“The presiding judge made a good decision, this decision is good! Basically there is no big problem!”

“It’s common in a village to make jokes deliberately. How could you not know your age?”

“Even if you don’t know the exact age, you always know the approximate age, right?”

 “There’s no way it’s not clear at all!”

“The judgment of the presiding judge cannot be wrong! It was completely based on objective facts!”

“Yes! The presiding judge’s decision was indeed based on objective facts.”

“What the defendant said was intentional to shirk his criminal responsibility. It was just the presiding judge who saw through it and made a formal decision.”

“I can only say that this sentence is good. Of course, it would be better to give the defendant a heavy sentence!”

　　　….”

 Many people who watched the live broadcast of the trial applauded the judgment made by the presiding judge!

how to say.…

 Watch the criminals receive the punishment they deserve according to the law and the presiding judge give a fair sentence.

 The audience will naturally be brought into the perspective of legal fairness and justice, and naturally agree with this judgment.

 The barrage in the live broadcast room also received unanimous praise.

.

 ….

 And the other side.

 At the court hearing.

 After the two judgments on the summary are completed.

 Xu Rufeng organized it and made a certain summary of the entire case.

 According to the current situation.…

 The judgments have all been completed.

 Now it is necessary to determine whether the probation period can be reduced if there are meritorious circumstances in surrendering. This case is considered a basic judgment.

 This point has been defended by all parties before.

The statements made by all parties also have certain truths.

 The basic facts and various viewpoints have been defended.

 Xu Rufeng glanced around at all parties in the courtroom.

 Whether the probation period needs to be reduced for the last person who surrenders and has meritorious service.

 The statement can be made during the court briefing, the last stage of the trial.

　　咚咚!

 The gavel struck.

 Xu Rufeng said: "The various judgment points of the current trial have been completed."

“The collegial panel has also learned about the content of each party’s defense.”

“Whether the defendant Dong Baihao’s meritorious performance, which indicates the circumstances of surrendering, will reduce his probation period, will enter the final court statement.”

　　“Now all parties are invited to begin their court statements, starting with the prosecution.”

 Hearing the final court statement.

 The parties involved in the court hearing all had different reactions.

 The most nervous among them is Dong Baihao.

 After all, after making court statements, a judgment must be made.

This is a matter of whether he should be sentenced to death or a suspended death sentence.

There are no more people who are sentenced to death. If they are given a suspended death sentence and serve more years in prison, they can still survive.

 So after hearing the words of the presiding judge, Dong Baihao seemed particularly nervous and set his eyes on Yu Cheng.

 Yu Cheng told him not to be nervous and listened quietly to the prosecutor's court statement.

 The prosecutor's statutory statement is based on the facts and summarizes all the details and subjective aspects of the case.

He also believes that from the second aspect of the judgment, that is, Dong Baihao clearly knew that Dong Guoguo was under the age of 14 and raped and brutally killed her. The alleged circumstances were too serious.

  Does not support the reduction of probation period due to meritorious service upon surrender, so we still maintain the view of the death penalty.

During the prosecution's statement, the prosecutor also specifically emphasized the distinction between criminal offenses in the criminal law between minors, those under 14 years old, and infants and children.

 And the corresponding emphasis and severity of the plot.

These points all show the attitude of the public prosecutor. He does not support the reduction of probation and punishment, nor does he support the death sentence with a reprieve!

 The prosecutor spoke in court for nearly three minutes.

 After finishing the statement.

 Xu Rufeng nodded at the trial table and continued to ask the defendant to entrust lawyer Yu Cheng to make a statement.

 Yu Cheng knew that if he wanted to win this trial, the key point to focus on was to surrender, or whether he should have his probation reduced if he had performed meritorious services.

 “Presiding Judge.”

“We still want to emphasize the overall story of the case.”

“Generally speaking, if Dong Baihao’s surrender had not occurred, this case would have become an unresolved case.”

“It is also very possible that no one knew that Dong Guoguo was violated and then killed.”

“Perhaps someone found Dong Guoguo’s body a few years later, but by then all the evidence was gone, only the bones.”

"From this point of view...can it explain how important the circumstances of Dong Baihao's surrender are to the solution of this case?"

“This is Dong Baihao’s surrender, which is a significant contribution to this case.”

“If Dong Baihao does not surrender, I would like to ask the prosecutors and law enforcement officers at the trial.”

“Do you think this case will become a cold case, or will Dong Baihao be found to be the real criminal?”

 Public prosecutor Lin Qiushui said calmly: "Justice may be late, but it will not be absent."

“It may take some time, but evidence that Dong Baihao is the real criminal will be found.”

Hearing this, Yu Cheng smiled: "I agree with the prosecutor's view."

"In many cases, justice will indeed be late, not absent."

 “But isn’t there always a time when justice is absent?”

“As a prosecutor, the public prosecutor should also know that there are many cases that will be settled in the end.”

“Without Dong Baihao’s surrender, even the most basic question of whether Dong Guoguo disappeared, was abducted, or was brutally murdered in this case may not be determined.”

“If this cannot be determined at all, then is it possible that Dong Baihao is at large?”

“I would like to ask the prosecutor whether this is the truth?”

Lin Qiushui knew that Yu Cheng was using his answers to form his own opinions.

 So there is no answer to this question.

Seeing this, Yu Cheng sighed secretly, and then continued to speak:

“Actually, there is a possibility that Dong Baihao will be able to escape justice.”

“But he chose to surrender. Why did he choose to surrender?”

“Because he wanted to bear the criminal responsibility for the criminal acts he committed.”

 “Is this wrong? There is nothing wrong with this.”

“If there is such a surrender, it has made a significant contribution to the investigation and development of the case, but it still cannot reduce one’s own sentence.”

 “Then what’s the point of surrendering?”

“General surrender, in a case with such egregious circumstances, it is really not appropriate to change from a death sentence to a suspended death sentence.”

“However, in this case, Dong Baihao has made significant meritorious service, and we would like to ask the presiding judge to consider this aspect emphatically.”

 “To pass judgment.”

“Presiding judge, the above is our statement.” Yu Cheng’s statement has a certain legal basis.

There is no big problem with his meritorious service. After listening to Yu Cheng's statement, Su Bai raised his head and looked at the presiding judge's seat.

 This is the final legal statement.

 The decision to impose the death penalty or a suspended death sentence must be based on the subjective judgment of the presiding judge.

This case can result in either the death penalty or a suspended death sentence.

 In the final analysis, it still depends on the presiding judge’s opinion whether such meritorious service can reduce the punishment.

When he heard Xu Rufeng asked the victim to entrust a lawyer to make a statement, Su Bai took a deep breath and slowly stated:

“Presiding judge, our statement is as follows:”

“First of all, we do not deny the meritorious performance of the defendant Dong Baihao in surrendering himself in this case.”

“But I don’t agree with the defendant’s statement of entrusting a lawyer.”

“The statement just made by the lawyer entrusted by the defendant is mainly based on the fact that if Dong Baihao does not surrender, then this case may become an unsolved case forever.”

“But in fact, if a ten-year-old child is missing for a certain period of time, then he must be investigated and eliminated.”

“Even if there is no other way, even if Feng Yunxia asks everyone one by one what happened on the street that day and whether anyone has seen Dong Guoguo.”

“We can also deduce where Dong Guoguo’s incident happened.”

“According to current criminal investigation methods, it is basically possible to determine what happened to Dong Guoguo, whether he disappeared, was killed by others, or was abducted.”

“You must know that Dong Baihao has a certain misleading effect in this process.”

 “Without his misleading, would the case progress faster? Definitely!”

“So no matter from any angle, the possibility of this case being solved is extremely high.”

“There is no possibility that the case will become an unsolved case as stated by the defendant’s attorney.”

 “It’s just a matter of time.”

“Furthermore, in this case, Dong Guoguo’s disappearance had a huge impact on the village at that time.”

“The whole village helped find Dong Guoguo’s whereabouts.”

“Dong Baihao was also in a panic at this time, afraid of being discovered.”

“That’s why he surrendered, rather than what the defendant’s lawyer stated. Dong Baihao surrendered because he felt guilty and wanted to bear criminal responsibility.”

“Does he want to go to jail? Doesn’t he know that he might be sentenced to death?”

"he knows!"

“And he also knows this case very well in his heart, and he may definitely be investigated in the end.”

“The defendant just entrusted a lawyer to ask the prosecutor whether this case will become an unresolved case, or whether the murderer Dong Baihao will be caught.”

“If the prosecutor answers the question, it will not become an unsolved case.”

 “Why can the prosecutor answer like this?”

“Because the current criminal investigation methods can solve most cases.”

“If this case is taken seriously, it will only be a matter of time before it is investigated.

“Instead of what the defendant’s lawyer stated, Dong Baihao can get away with it.”

“Even speaking of it, if we wait a few more days, the relevant law enforcement officials will be more likely to take it seriously and investigate Dong Baihao.”

“Because Dong Baihao often makes jokes, criminal investigators may investigate people who have come into contact with Dong Guoguo one by one.”

“To sum up, what the defendant’s lawyer stated only amplified Dong Baihao’s meritorious service.”

"But in fact, his meritorious service is not very important."

  “Moreover.”

“I would like to reiterate here that Dong Baihao’s surrender was a meritorious performance. There is no doubt about this.”

“However, the defendant’s behavior and subjective seriousness are not enough to reduce the defendant’s sentence.”

After making these statements, Su Bai raised his head and looked at the judgment seat.

“Presiding judge, I want to show a photo, which is a normal photo. I wonder if the presiding judge can agree?”

"agree."

 After getting permission from the presiding judge, Su Bai took out a photo from the materials in front of him.

 Then the introduction began.

“This photo shows Dong Guoguo holding passion fruit in both hands and smiling happily.”

“The photo of Dong Guoguo was taken two months before she was murdered.”

 “I just celebrated my birthday.”

  “It can be said that her life has just begun, or it has just begun.”

“Such a little girl was violated and brutally abused during her lifetime, and then killed.”

“I don’t know how everyone present will react after seeing the photo. My first reaction is that it is a pity.”

“Because judging from the photos, Dong Guoguo is very cute.”

“According to the provisions of our country’s criminal law, violating young children and killing young children are relatively serious penalties.”

 “Why is it so stipulated?”

“It’s because we need to protect the growth of young children, and it’s because they don’t have much ability to protect themselves.”

 “This is a certain meaning stipulated by the law.”

“In this case, I don’t know what kind of mood Dong Baihao had to do such a cruel act to a little girl.”

 “To be able to do this to such a girl.”

“I don’t know what kind of verdict the presiding judge will give in the end.”

"But I would like to state the detailed criminal process and results of this case."

“There are circumstances of surrender and meritorious service, and the punishment should not be exempted.”

 “This is respect for life and the cruelty it suffers during its lifetime.”

“Presiding judge, the above is our statement.”

Su Bai finished his statement and stared at the judgment seat.

 Take a long breath.

 The court statement is completed, which means that the defense is over.

The defendant’s lawyer’s statement mainly amplified Dong Baihao’s meritorious service.

 I want to use this to reduce the probation period and achieve the purpose of suspending the death sentence.

 His statement was on the opposite side of the lawyer entrusted by the defendant.

 It only illustrates one point - the other party underestimated criminal investigation technology and overestimated Dong Baihao's ability to hide criminal behavior!

 Is the fact really as stated by the lawyer appointed by the defendant that this case may eventually become an unresolved case?

 Absolutely not.

Why do you say that?

 First of all, Dong Baihao could not completely cover up the crime scene.

 Secondly, the village learned about this matter, and everyone in the village was looking for Dong Guoguo, so there would definitely be clues.

 If there are any clues, Dong Baihao’s criminal behavior will definitely be investigated in the follow-up.

This is just a matter of length of time, but the defendant entrusted the lawyer to enlarge this time.

 He just gave a factual explanation.

 Notice the expression of the presiding judge.

Su Bai feels that there is basically no problem in winning this case!
