Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 350 - 349: Gu Chen Files a Lawsuit! Off to Court!
Inside the law firm.
Gu Chen met Tang Ya.
Tang Ya said, "Lawyer Gu, Zhao Sisi is going to sue me... She said if I don’t apologize today, she’s going to sue me."
Gu Chen replied, "It’s okay, we’ve almost got all the evidence ready. Come with us to the court now and prepare to file a lawsuit."
"Don’t worry about how Zhao Sisi acts crazy, she must pay for what she’s done." Gu Chen said coldly.
After unlocking all the evidence in the past few days, Gu Chen finally understood what Zhao Sisi had done...
Zhao Sisi intended to commit murder!
There’s absolutely no way she can escape this!
The crime of intentional homicide must be punished by death!
So from the start, Gu Chen’s goal was to get Zhao Sisi the death penalty!
And not just let Zhao Sisi simply sit in prison...
Nobody expected Zhao Sisi to be like this!
When Tang Ya heard the word "lawsuit," she immediately followed Gu Chen and arrived at the court.
Kyoto District Court.
Gu Chen brought Xue Qingqing and Tang Ya here.
As soon as they entered, a staff member recognized Gu Chen.
"Hello, Lawyer Gu, I’m Ye Xiaochen, a staff member here. You can call me Chenchen. Are you here at the court for something? Is there anything I can assist you with?" Ye Xiaochen said, who is the prosecutor here.
"We need to go through the filing process, criminal prosecution." Gu Chen said.
Criminal cases are usually prosecuted by the public prosecution, handled by the prosecution office.
But this case is special.
Gu Chen is helping Tang Ya sue Zhao Sisi.
"A criminal case?" Ye Xiaochen was a bit shocked.
She knew Gu Chen and often saw Gu Chen in court.
Although people call Gu Chen a Lawless Madman.
But only those in the industry know how strong Gu Chen’s ability is.
Such a powerful lawyer coming to court... and Gu Chen is also the owner of the law firm. It’s possible that the next Red Circle Law Firm could be established by Gu Chen.
"What case is it?" Ye Xiaochen asked.
"It’s the one from the past few days. This is Tang Ya, the wife of Li Zhengyi, who drowned." Gu Chen said.
"I know about this case, but we’ve never been able to sue Zhao Sisi. I’m also very helpless about this situation, and I’m also very angry, but it’s really difficult to convict Zhao Sisi from a legal standpoint." Ye Xiaochen empathized.
"Lawyer Gu, is this the case you’re handling? Suing Zhao Sisi? And it’s a criminal case?" Ye Xiaochen asked.
"Yes, just follow the process." Gu Chen said.
Hearing that Gu Chen wanted to handle this case, Ye Xiaochen also felt a bit overwhelmed.
Everyone knows this case is very difficult to convict Zhao Sisi.
It’s very difficult to convict... which means it basically can’t be convicted!
Zhao Sisi’s suicide by jumping into the river, to put it bluntly, was Zhao Sisi’s own problem.
Li Zhengyi drowned while saving Zhao Sisi... Even if there is video evidence, it doesn’t mean much.
The video at most shows that during the rescue, Zhao Sisi led to Li Zhengyi’s death.
Yet Zhao Sisi still isn’t breaking the law.
As long as Zhao Sisi doesn’t admit it, she can say she was unconscious and struggled randomly in the water, accidentally pressing on Li Zhengyi’s head... what could be done?
Even in the video later, if Zhao Sisi herself grabbed the rope, grabbed the stick, and broke Li Zhengyi’s hope of survival, legally Zhao Sisi still couldn’t be charged with a crime.
For this case, any lawyer who comes couldn’t win the lawsuit.
Ye Xiaochen also investigated this case and analyzed it thoroughly himself.
The final conclusion was... it’s impossible to pursue responsibility.
It would be the same for anyone.
Even if Lawyer Gu took this case, there would be no difference.
Everything must comply with the law.
No matter how capable the lawyer is, the case has to be judged based on facts and law...
There are too many cases of people drowning while attempting a rescue, sacrificing themselves in the process, almost every year.
Yet over the years, no rescued person has ever been sentenced...
Because it’s tacitly approved.
Everyone knows those trapped in river water will instinctively struggle in various ways.
Because of this, so many people have died.
Too many good people try to save others, either failing to succeed or succeeding but losing themselves in the process.
Examples like these are everywhere.
There’s never been a case where responsibility was pursued towards those rescued from drowning.
Let alone being sentenced, accountability has never been enforced.
In reality, many incidents of people drowning while attempting to rescue are 99% due to the rescued person struggling madly in the water.
It’s exactly because of this person’s struggle that the drowning occurs...
Yet for so many years, responsibility has never been pursued for such cases.
Legally, it’s impossible to obtain a conviction in these situations.
Ye Xiaochen knew that Lawyer Gu had never lost a case.
But this lawsuit... if it’s seriously pursued, it definitely won’t be won.
The incident between Li Zhengyi and Zhao Sisi makes everyone angry.
But what good does it do?
Forget about convicting Zhao Sisi, even making Zhao Sisi pay civil compensation is not possible.
Ye Xiaochen said, "Lawyer Gu, this case... to be honest, it can be filed but is very hard to win. Cases like this have happened at least a hundred times before, but none have resulted in a conviction. Legally it’s too difficult to provide proof; even with video, it can’t prove the party had intent to murder. As long as they don’t admit it, it’s impossible to convict."
Ye Xiaochen knew how strong Gu Chen’s skills were...
But with this case, it’s no longer about skills.
The crime of intentional homicide... also requires a motive.
Like deep-seated hatred between two people...
But Zhao Sisi and Li Zhengyi didn’t even know each other... the crime of intentional homicide simply can’t be established.
Even involuntary manslaughter can’t be established!
The end result of the lawsuit, 100% would be acquittal.
No outcome can be expected...
Gu Chen said, "No precedent, then we’ll create one. What if someone intentionally jumps into the river and then intends to kill the person saving them in the water? Just file the case."
Gu Chen was aware of the difficulty of this case.
If not for the evidence already prepared in his hands...
There really wouldn’t be any way to deal with Zhao Sisi.
Legally, a conviction is hard to achieve...
But Gu Chen insisted on taking this case!
He couldn’t let the guilty go unpunished!
This time Zhao Sisi could attempt suicide by jumping into the river, and next time she could do it again.
As long as she wanted to jump, every time she did, if someone saved her, she could use the same method to harm others....
Indeed, Zhao Sisi didn’t know Li Zhengyi...
But that doesn’t prove Zhao Sisi didn’t intend to murder!
This case has to be prosecuted!
Ye Xiaochen immediately felt a newfound respect for Gu Chen.
That’s Lawyer Gu...
Even knowing the success rate of the case is very low, he would still pursue the lawsuit.
If Lawyer Gu has other evidence in hand, there might actually be a chance to win!
