Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison
Chapter 538 - 450: Li Ranran Is Going In! (Part 2)
Presiding Judge Rong Liwei said, "I’ve already watched the video footage inside; at first, Li Ranran was actively accommodating Gao Jiantong, but Gao Jiantong discovered he couldn’t... There’s no sign of struggle and resistance as claimed, rather Li Ranran intentionally wanted Gao Jiantong to hit her."
"By saying this, Gao Jiantong indeed didn’t commit a crime."
Nearby Judge Dingxiangling said, "So there’s no attempted rape, right?"
Judge Qian Xuejun said, "Indeed, there’s no case of attempted rape because Li Ranran was the initiator from start to finish, inconsistent with her own description but consistent with Gao Jiantong’s description."
"And... Li Ranran committed a crime."
Judge Qian Xuejun raised his gaze, "Li Ranran’s behavior, providing false testimony, entrapment, and intentionally fabricating evidence, aimed to send Gao Jiantong to prison."
"And she indeed succeeded because of Li Ranran’s actions, leading to Gao Jiantong being held in custody for over a month, the situation was severe, and he was sentenced in the first trial... Seriously impacting Gao Jiantong’s life."
"According to Article 243 of the Criminal Law, anyone who fabricates facts to falsely accuse and incriminate another person, intending them to undergo criminal scrutiny, may be imprisoned for up to three years, detained, or subjected to controlled management for severe circumstances; causing severe consequences leads to imprisonment from three to ten years."
"In cases of intentionally fabricating evidence, creating false testimonies to falsely accuse someone of rape, resulting in a three-year sentence for the victim, constitutes severe consequences, warranting imprisonment from three to ten years."
"Moreover, Li Ranran’s objective was to divide assets and then divorce, intentionally fabricating false evidence... And the child born, Gundam, is not even Li Ranran’s."
"Li Ranran even incited others to provide false testimony in court, which is equally criminal behavior. Such actions are extremely vile and already constitute obstruction of justice. According to Article 307 of the Criminal Law, using violence, threats, or bribery to prevent witnesses from testifying or directing others to give false testimony results in imprisonment for up to three years or detention; severe circumstances warrant imprisonment from three to seven years."
"Li Ranran deserves a heavier sentence due to multiple offenses!"
The judge and presiding judge had already determined Li Ranran’s charges during the conversation.
The analysis results of the video also came out.
Based on this video evidence, it is already possible to prove that Gao Jiantong is innocent!
Gao Jiantong should be acquitted!
No video was available during the first trial, leading to a wrong judgment by the court, but that’s understandable.
The state will also provide a part of the compensation...
The second trial clarified the truth and restored Gao Jiantong’s innocence.
And all of this is thanks to Gu Chen providing the evidence.
Ordinary people couldn’t have found such evidence...
Judge Qian Xuejun said, "What do you all think? I believe Li Ranran has no intention of repenting; her actions were too vile!"
Judge Dingxiangling said, "I agree."
Presiding Judge Rong Liwei opened his mouth to say, "Then it’s mostly settled, Li Ranran certainly committed a crime, and her behavior was extremely vile; falsely accusing others is itself illegal and should bear legal responsibility, plus Li Ranran disrupted court order multiple times, hindering its normal operation and hence deserves severe punishment."
The three unanimously agreed.
Soon, the court reconvened. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Presiding Judge Rong Liwei spoke, "After verification, the evidence submitted by the defendant’s lawyer can prove the following points:"
"First, Gao Jiantong did not engage in rape against Li Ranran; from beginning to end, Li Ranran cooperated with Gao Jiantong’s actions."
"Second, Li Ranran indeed had arguments and disputes with Gao Jiantong, but Gao Jiantong did not actually perform any physical harm to Li Ranran, so there’s no possibility of Li Ranran suffering domestic violence."
"Third, Li Ranran’s injuries were inflicted with her consent, and Gao Jiantong need not bear any criminal responsibility."
"Fourth, after arguing, there was no attempt by Gao Jiantong to physically assault Li Ranran; when Li Ranran fled the room, Gao Jiantong, worried for her safety, carried her to the master bedroom. According to the video analysis, after carrying her back to the master bedroom, they had a conversation without any physical contact."
"In summary, there was no physical assault between Gao Jiantong and Li Ranran, so Gao Jiantong should not bear any criminal responsibility and should be acquitted."
Presiding Judge Rong Liwei finished speaking.
There’s no need to publicly broadcast this video evidence.
After all, some of the content inside cannot be aired directly, especially while the live broadcast is ongoing.
Even if censored, it cannot be broadcast...
This case is still highly attention-grabbing.
Certainly, Rong Liwei’s words were relatively tactful.
The prosecutor had no words upon seeing the presiding judge say this.
This evidence... is indeed quite useful.
And Li Ranran immediately started to cause a scene.
If Gao Jiantong isn’t convicted, won’t the situation be over?
Li Ranran said, "Presiding Judge, I disagree! How can this video prove it’s from the day in question? It might have been taken in the past!! Who knows?"
Presiding Judge Rong Liwei said, "The recording time in this video perfectly matches the time before the incident."
Li Ranran said, "I do not agree! Gao Jiantong is definitely guilty of rape! If not rape, then attempted rape! Do you think I was cooperating with Gao Jiantong’s actions? That’s wrong!"
"The law stipulates! Even if there’s disagreement in between, it still counts as disagreement, not because agreeing initially means it’s not rape! There’s disagreement in between!!"
The presiding judge and judges: "??? "
They didn’t want to speak explicitly...
The video clearly showed everything.
Gao Jiantong indeed had a health issue... He had this hidden ailment, nothing he or anyone could do.
The court couldn’t discuss this face-to-face...
This matter is just best left unsaid by those who know.
Even though Li Ranran’s argument might hold a legal standpoint.
But Gao Jiantong hadn’t even started, where’s the in-between?
It doesn’t exist!
A person who didn’t even begin... can there be a continuation?
Li Ranran says she disagreed in the middle, making Gao Jiantong guilty of rape?
But since Gao Jiantong has a health issue, he’s unable to!
Presiding Judge Rong Liwei spoke, "Gao Jiantong had physical issues, as seen in the video, he didn’t succeed; his body indeed had issues, therefore stopping in between. There’s no issue of an ’in-between’."
Li Ranran: "Yes, it’s when Gao Jiantong tried, that I refused, making him guilty of attempted rape!! He’s definitely committed a crime!!"
Presiding Judge Rong Liwei knocked the gavel.
"Order in the court!"
Li Ranran continued, "I don’t care, I don’t care... You don’t understand law! Gao Jiantong is guilty! That video must be very blurry, how can you see anything clearly? You are not the parties involved...."
Li Ranran continued to make a scene.
Presiding Judge Rong Liwei said, "Li Ranran has disturbed court order more than three times; according to our country’s legal provisions, this case will result in severe punishment for Li Ranran."
Li Ranran: "??? "
Li Ranran immediately shut her mouth.
No... how could she get severe punishment?
What’s wrong with her?
Does she have a crime?
It’s impossible!
Since there’s video evidence proving Gao Jiantong is not guilty of rape, couldn’t she just withdraw the lawsuit?
She’s opting not to pursue liability against Gao Jiantong... and then fights for dividing divorce assets in court.
Anyway, Li Ranran still wants to fight for custody of three children....
Yet the court still wants to punish her?
Why punish her?
What crime did she commit?
Just for speaking a few more words in court, how... can she be in a lawsuit and yet not speak as a party involved?
Li Ranran felt very unhappy.
She argued a few more times in court and doubted if the court could really do anything to her!
