Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 439 - 399: Gu Chen: My Client Is Innocent!
Lawyer Gu’s words left everyone present in silence.
Yeah, who can really do that?
They can only watch from an omniscient perspective, seeing everything unfold before them, each feeling extremely angry.
But only Li Long is truly the person involved.
This pain, Li Long will remember it for a lifetime.
No one can truly empathize with Li Long.
The prosecutor continued, "We can indeed understand Li Long’s pain. Li Long suffered the agony of his mother’s death, no matter how painful that might be. At the time, the three offenders, Lu Jun, Lu Wang, and Lu Daniu, have been legally punished."
"Regardless of the reason, one cannot illegally deprive another of life."
"Li Long’s criminal motive is vile, his methods cruel, he committed the crime with premeditation, showing severe subjective malignancy, all of which are evident."
"I understand Li Long’s feelings emotionally, but legally, what Li Long did is a crime; taking another’s life, Li Long’s actions have destroyed a family, and the circumstances are equally vile."
"We cannot lighten Li Long’s punishment because of what he has experienced. No matter what, we should not endorse violence for violence; any criminal act must receive legal punishment. Li Long should be sentenced to death," said the prosecutor.
The defense reached this point, and Gu Chen still faced significant disadvantages.
Because the prosecutor was not wrong.
The law is unsparing, violence cannot counter violence.
No matter what a criminal has done, they should accept legal punishment.
Li Long’s actions, in the end, were a crime.
After the prosecutor finished speaking, the online viewers could not sit still.
[Seriously, Li Long committed a crime too? Then why didn’t they sentence those three to death at the start?]
[Aren’t those three murderers too?]
[No, those three had special circumstances, so they weren’t sentenced to death; the highest sentenced was only seven years.]
[What can be done, no choice... that’s how the law is set; those three have already been punished to the fullest extent.]
[Li Long should be given a lighter punishment, Lawyer Gu is correct, Li Long has suffered real pain, a feeling he can’t forget for a lifetime, nobody can understand Li Long’s feelings; truth be told, he only wanted revenge for his mother, killing for justice should be justified, so I think Li Long hasn’t done anything wrong.]
[Give Li Long a lighter sentence, don’t sentence him to death... What wrong did Li Long commit? He just killed a couple murderers who deserved death long ago?]
[Why aren’t those three deserving of the death penalty, and Li Long avenging his mother deserves a death sentence?]
[Why? If they sentence Li Long to death, I’ll be the first to disagree.]
The netizens were all defending Li Long.
They were getting quite anxious...
If, in the end, Li Long was truly sentenced to death, then nothing could be done to save him.
Yet many think Li Long hasn’t done anything wrong.
Li Long was just avenging his mother...
Who can truly empathize with Li Long?
Having lost his mother from a young age, his family shattered for it, this feeling, who can truly understand? 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Can the prosecutor really understand Li Long’s emotions fully? Perhaps not.
Li Long sighed; he knew there was no hope for him.
No matter who helps him, there is no hope.
Everyone was waiting for Gu Chen to speak.
At this moment, only Gu Chen might help Li Long.
If Gu Chen has no solution, today Li Long probably still will be sentenced to death.
The appeal won’t change, nothing can be done.
Li Long’s conduct is too vile; a death sentence is well-justified.
Regardless of the reason, murder is murder; can there be any change?
The prosecutor looked at Gu Chen and said, "Lawyer Gu, you are also an attorney; do you think this method of violence for violence is correct? As legal practitioners, we should approach every case from a legal standpoint."
"This is a courtroom, not a place for reasoning, but a place for law. Li Long committed a very serious crime; even if he turned himself in, it shouldn’t warrant a lighter punishment."
"If one encounters injustice, they should seek solutions within the legal framework and not resort to violence... otherwise, what is the use of law? The significance of law is to uphold social fairness and stability."
The prosecutor finished speaking.
Xue Qingqing listened to the prosecutor’s words, realizing there was no opportunity for the boss to defend.
The prosecutor even directly silenced the boss, giving him no grounds for defense.
As long as the prosecutor holds onto this point, it will be hard for Li Long to get a lighter sentence.
It’s impossible...
At the same time.
Watching this live broadcast was ace attorney Du Jingguang.
Du Jingguang smirked, saying, "No need to watch this trial, Gu Chen has definitely lost this case. Get the internet trolls ready; as soon as the trial ends, flood the net with how Gu Chen took an exorbitant fee and still lost, breaking his record of a hundred percent win rate; just smear Gu Chen and his law firm."
Du Jingguang was completely unruffled, he didn’t even know how Gu Chen could win this case.
Even if he came forward personally, it would be impossible to get Li Long’s sentence reduced.
