As a Lawyer, You Sent the Judge In?

Chapter 449: As the father’s statement, the final verdict

Chapter 449: As the father’s statement, the final judgment comes to fruition!

During the recess.

It is a good thing for Wu Jiang and others, and it is also a good thing for other defendants.

Because based on the current situation, the presiding judge has obviously agreed with the prosecutor’s view of guilt.

But in Li Xiaoguo's opinion...it's not very good.

After all...this trial hasn't even started yet and it's almost over?

He has not confessed his crime yet!

Is it going to be decided so directly?

No, at least come and ask for his opinion!

The zero confession verdict fell on him?

This is the thing that Li Xiaoguo cannot accept the most.

It wasn’t just Li Xiaoguo who was confused.

Even Zhang Hua, who was sitting in the hearing seat, felt that the atmosphere of this trial was not right.

mainly.…

Judging from the performance of the presiding judge in this trial, to a certain extent, the presiding judge seemed to deliberately target the defendant’s attorney.

Have any inside information?

Or is it being deliberately targeted?

Actually, Zhang Hua really thought wrong about this.

This is not a matter of whether there is an inside story.

But at the court hearing, Cao Chuan believed that Tian Yang, as Li Xiaoguo's attorney, made a statement that was completely illogical.

Just talk about it in the most basic terms.

You only look at the direct evidence, and you don’t look at the chain of evidence formed by objective and indirect evidence.

Isn’t this nonsense?

If judged guilty and innocent according to Tian Yang's statement.

So in so many criminal cases, it is very likely that not many people will be found guilty.

Because the law needs to be considered from many aspects.

Rather than just considering one or the other.

Based on this situation, Cao Chuan interrupted Tian Yang's statement many times.

Is there a problem with this kind of interrupting statement?

According to Cao Chuan's thinking, or in terms of maintaining order in the court and maintaining the progress of the court hearing, there is no problem with this kind of interruption.

….

In the collegial court discussion room.

Cao Chuan and the other two judges are currently discussing the prison term for the defendant in this case.

And it is confirmed that there is no possibility of innocence in this case.

Cao Chuan put the relevant information on the case on the table and said:

“There is no objection to the verdict that Li Xiaoguo and other criminals are guilty in this case, right?”

Lu Pingyi nodded aside.

He also noticed it during this time and ignored the greeting at first.

It is undoubtedly the most correct decision.

So now facing Cao Chuan’s point of view, Lu Pingyi basically agrees.

“Dean Cao, the criminal facts of Li Xiaoguo and several other defendants and suspects in this case are very clear.”

“Guilty is definitely guilty...”

“But...is the sentence recommended by the prosecutor a bit too harsh?”

Lu Pingyi confirmed the fact of guilt, but still had certain considerations about the prison term.

So this point has been questioned.

"Um!"

Cao Chuan nodded: "The sentence recommended by the prosecutor is indeed a bit harsh. He can recommend the death penalty, but we cannot impose this sentence."

"after all.…"

“Although there were two more serious circumstances, in the final analysis they did not cause Wu Xiaojie’s death.”

“From this point of view...the death penalty is too much.”

“And there is no such precedent in China. If we really sentence Li Xiaoguo to death, then our court will be famous throughout the country.”

“It may even cause a huge discussion in the Dharma circle.”

Cao Chuan smiled and expressed his thoughts.

Another judge also nodded after hearing what Cao Chuan said, thinking that the death penalty was too harsh.

after all.…

From this case, it is true that there was no intentional homicide.

In domestic laws.…

Some cases really make people angry, and they want the criminal suspect to die.

But this is only a severe punishment based on emotion.

From a legal perspective...if it does not result in the death of others.

Sentence to death.

It can be said that there are only a few cases found in the whole country.

Of course...there are some cases that have caused losses to state-owned assets and there are precedents for the death penalty.

However, according to the forcible relationship, there is no situation that resulted in the death of the person.

There is no precedent for the death penalty.

After comprehensive consideration, the members of the collegial panel decided not to impose the death penalty on Li Xiaoguo.

However, based on various bad circumstances, a suspended death sentence needs to be determined.

Finished the issue of prison terms.

The adjournment is over.

The court session soon came again.

Cao Chuan did not make too many comments about this court session.

Instead, let the parties begin their court presentations directly.

Duan Zhao’s court statement as the prosecutor is very simple and convenient.

That is to emphasize again the objective facts and evidence and the integrity of the evidence chain.

And determine the criminal behavior of the defendant and how bad and serious the circumstances involved are.

in addition.…

It is a special explanation of the situation Li Xiaoguo is involved in.

….

After the prosecutor's statement, the statements of each defendant will follow.

The statements made by the lawyers entrusted by other defendants only maintained one core.

Pleas guilty and accepts punishment.…

Ask for leniency.

Other than that, there are no other requests.

But in Li Xiaoguo’s court statement.

Tian Yang’s statement is completely different. He still wants to fight for relevant legal rights for his client.

But for Tian Yang’s statement.

ˆWhether it is from a legal point of view or from the subjective point of view of the collegial panel.

They have all confirmed Li Xiaoguo’s criminal facts.

Is it meaningful to continue to expound on innocence?

It has no meaning at all! Wait until Tian Yang finishes the relevant court statement.

As the presiding judge, Cao Chuan did not listen to Tian Yang’s statement and immediately asked the victim to make a statement.

Su Bai heard the presiding judge asking his side to start making court statements.

He simply sorted out the litigation materials in front of him.

About this trial, Su Bai has actually been able to confirm that Li Xiaoguo will definitely be found guilty in the end.

But not to the extent of the death penalty.

So in this trial, no matter how many court statements are made, it is of little significance.

At least in his opinion, from a legal perspective, it doesn't make much sense.

So in this court statement, Su Bai asked Wu Jiang to make this court statement.

Wu Jiang didn’t know how to make a court statement at the beginning.

I am afraid that if I say something wrong, something unexpected will happen in this trial.

But with Su Bai's encouragement, he told him what he wanted to state.

Wu Jiang only began to express his true emotions and true court statements during this trial.

Wu Jiang raised his head and looked at the judgment seat.

I don’t know whether it was due to emotion or nervousness, but there was a trace of tremor in his voice.

“President...I don’t know what to say in this court statement.”

“I just want to express my views on this case and the defendant.”

“I’m sure you don’t know the law as the presiding judge, but I don’t know if the presiding judge has a daughter and what kind of feelings you have towards your daughter.”

“In this case, after Xiaojie was violated, my feelings before and after were completely different.”

“Before the case happened, Xiaojie, my daughter, was the victim of this case.”

“She is very cheerful and sunny.”

“Every day when I get home from school, I will say, Dad, how did I do at school today, what did I want to eat, and what good things did I bring you.”

“Xiaojie was very positive and progressive at that time.”

“But what now?”

“After this incident, Xiaojie was in great pain every day. I haven’t seen a smile on her face for a long time.”

“As a father, I am very sad!”

“Because I can’t accept such a big change in my daughter.”

“I can’t accept that my daughter is living in such pain.”

“I firmly oppose and resist these criminal suspects psychologically.”

“At the beginning, before Li Xiaoguo, the main culprit, was charged, I was extremely desperate.”

"I think I am a very incompetent person...my daughter is hurt, and I have no way to resist."

“Sometimes I feel useless.”

“But now, I am sitting in the seat of the victim’s family today, and I see five defendants, no one missing.”

“My greatest hope is that these people, for the harm they caused to my daughter, will be punished by the law as they deserve!”

“Presiding Judge.”

“This is my statement and my statement as a father!”

　　　….”

Wu Jiang’s statement was entirely based on his true feelings.

In the process of stating, keep recalling the past.

A grown man's eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs.

At the court hearing, the staff who heard the statement could not help but feel a sense of sympathy in their hearts.

After all...most of the people here are people with families, and they know what this situation means.

At the trial bench, after Wu Jiang finished his statement.

Although Cao Chuan had some feelings in his heart, this was during a court hearing and he needed to maintain a calm attitude.

Sound the gavel and speak slowly:

“The parties’ court statements have been completed.”

“The result of the trial is now announced!”

Clerk: “Everyone stand up!”

The gavel fell, and only Cao Chuan's voice was heard, echoing in the courtroom:

“This case of Wu Xiaojie’s infringement will be heard by this court, the KM City Intermediate Court.”

“Now this court, the Kunming Intermediate People’s Court, makes the following judgment on this case based on the objective facts and objective evidence:”

“The verdict is that the defendant, Zhang Qi, as an accessory in this case, seriously violated the law and was sentenced to 11 years and six months in prison in accordance with domestic laws!”

“Judgment against the defendant, Li Liang...”

“Judgment against the defendant, Zhang Shanfeng...”

“The defendant, Lin Long, is sentenced to fifteen years in prison!”

　　　….”

Along with this, the presiding judge announced the sentencing results to the defendants one by one.

Li Xiaoguo was nervous and stared at the trial seat without blinking, listening to the presiding judge's trial of him.

Just listen.…

Cao Chuan read out: "The verdict is that Li Xiaoguo is the principal criminal in this case, which involves serious circumstances."

“The sentence is suspended and the death penalty is suspended.”

“This case will be heard by Kunming Intermediate Court. If all parties have any objections to this case, they can appeal within the specified time.”

　　　….”

Li Xiaoguo couldn't hear the rest clearly.
