Chapter 584: Chapter 475: The First Trial Verdict Ends! Has Justice Arrived?

Lin Helong continued, "Is all the responsibility really on me? Xie Tongtong’s left kidney necrosis is because she always had poor health. Cases of kidney function atrophy can happen."

"Moreover, Xie Tongtong developed problems due to medication. Her left kidney failure is entirely because of her own reasons. This could be caused by her eating and medication habits, so how can all the blame be placed on me?"

Lin Helong in any case does not admit that all the responsibility falls on him.

Upon hearing Lin Helong’s words, Xie Tongtong trembled with anger.

Her left kidney necrosis was entirely caused by Lin Helong beating her.

Yet, even now, Lin Helong is still shirking responsibility.

Gu Chen said, "All the injuries on Xie Tongtong’s body were discovered in a hospital investigation. All the injuries, including the left kidney necrosis and multiple severe injuries, occurred after being beaten."

"I hope the court will impose a heavy punishment on Lin Helong! His criminal means are cruel, the motive despicable, resulting in severe harm."

Lin Helong wanted to argue further but Judge Rong Liwei had already struck the gavel.

The live-stream audience was also very angry.

Lin Helong kept making excuses, constantly deflecting responsibility just to avoid taking it on.

Would such claims be of any use?

All of Lin Helong’s reasons were excuses, continually looking to shift responsibility.

Judge Rong Liwei stated, "The court is now adjourned! Proceedings will resume in two days, with the verdict announced later."

This case is extremely complicated.

The court immediately announced an adjournment.

After a two-day recess, the trial would resume for the verdict.

During the recess, the judge and jurors sat together to discuss the case.

First, the issue of civil litigation...

The relationship between Xie Tongtong and Lin Helong was irreparable, necessitating a divorce.

A divorce would involve asset division.

Moreover, Lin Helong was indeed involved in transferring assets.

Total marital assets amounting to over 4 million yuan had to be divided.

Beyond the divorce issue, there was also the matter of compensation.

Lin Helong had beaten Xie Tongtong severely, leading her to permanent disability, thus compensation was necessary.

Although Lin Helong repeatedly claimed that he had paid for all of Xie Tongtong’s medical expenses...

In reality, that was not the case...

All medical expenses were actually covered by Xie Tongtong’s family.

Only a very small portion of the medical costs were paid by Lin Helong...

The emotional distress compensation, medical expenses, and lost wages were all necessary costs.

Finally, there was the issue of Lin Helong’s criminal actions.

Two days later, the court staff had reached a conclusion on the case.

Two days later, the court reconvened.

...

In the courtroom.

Judge Rong Liwei announced, "All rise!"

At this moment, everyone’s heart was tense.

Xie Tongtong felt even more nervous.

Lin Helong had repeatedly tried to make her write a letter of forgiveness, including his family members approaching her to request it.

But Xie Tongtong had no intention of writing such a letter.

Nevertheless, as long as she didn’t write the letter, Lin Helong’s family continually harassed her.

Xie Tongtong was truly frightened...

Who wouldn’t feel bad being threatened by others?

Moreover, Lin Helong had indeed beaten her viciously before. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Xie Tongtong was very afraid of how Lin Helong might retaliate against her family once he got out of prison.

She couldn’t even bear to think further...

Even if she didn’t receive a penny in compensation, she still aimed for Lin Helong to receive the death penalty.

Even if the death penalty wasn’t possible, at least a life sentence...

Otherwise, once Lin Helong serves his time and is released, who knows what consequences she would face.

Judge Rong Liwei declared, "After the first trial verdict, there is no longer any marital affection between Xie Tongtong and Lin Helong, and both parties are requesting divorce. Lin Helong has committed domestic violence thirty-six times in two years, which is the main reason for the breakdown of their relationship."

"After the decision to divorce, during the one-month divorce cooling-off period, Lin Helong repeatedly assaulted Xie Tongtong and transferred assets amounting to 4.12 million yuan."

"It is now ruled that the asset transfer is invalid. Lin Helong and Xie Tongtong must divorce. Xie Tongtong will receive 2.5 million yuan of the marital assets, and Lin Helong will receive 1.62 million yuan."

"Furthermore, the child born to both parties will remain with Xie Tongtong."

Next, comes the issue of compensation.

"In two years, Lin Helong committed domestic violence thirty-six times. After verification, Xie Tongtong suffered multiple severe injuries."

"Lin Helong’s domestic violence was extremely malicious. For example, he injured Xie Tongtong with a knife causing her duodenum to rupture and her small intestine to be obstructed, resulting in Ms. Xie needing to live with a colostomy bag for life. Her left kidney function was completely lost. Multiple bodily injuries of second-degree and minor injuries inflicted devastating harm on Xie Tongtong physically and mentally, severely affecting her normal life and causing her immense pain."

"Lin Helong’s malicious intentions are profound, committing domestic violence repeatedly without any sign of remorse."

"Lin Helong must compensate Xie Tongtong, including medical expenses, emotional distress compensation, lost wages, psychological treatment costs, and several other expenses, totaling 631,180 yuan."

"Lin Helong is guilty of intentional injury and mistreatment. According to Article 234 of our Criminal Law, intentionally harming another’s body results in imprisonment of up to three years, detention, or control; causing serious injury results in imprisonment of more than three but less than ten years; causing death or serious disability via particularly cruel means results in imprisonment of more than ten years, life imprisonment, or the death penalty."
