Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 338 - 337: The Verdict! Court Sentence! Everyone’s Going In!
Gu Chen ignored Duan Hailong.
Because Duan Hailong disrupted the courtroom order, he was directly carried off from the defendant’s seat.
There was still one person in the defendant’s seat, Li Guipeng!
Back then, he incited the villagers to cause trouble and obstruct law enforcement!
Gu Chen said, "Li Guipeng, the circumstances are equally egregious."
"Li Guipeng kidnapped Yue Hongling for three years, during which Yue Hongling gave birth to two children and suffered long-term domestic violence, beatings, and insults. The circumstances are extremely vile, and the consequences are extremely serious."
"Li Guipeng has already committed the crimes of rape, kidnapping, and insult, and led the villagers to resist law enforcement, even injuring law enforcement officers. As the main perpetrator, he should be severely punished!"
Li Guipeng raised his hand, "Your Honor, I would like to speak."
Judge Lin Fan nodded, "You may state your case."
Li Guipeng knelt down on the spot, saying, "Your Honor, Lawyer Gu, I have realized my mistake. I should not have been momentarily confused and committed such wrong deeds. I definitely should not have treated Yue Hongling like this for three years...."
"But now Yue Hongling is already my wife. She has already given me two children, and she is even willing to write a letter of forgiveness for me..."
"Of course, I realize my mistakes, and I am willing to make financial compensation...."
"I did not, like Duan Hailong, nor like Chen Hao, beat Yue Hongling. In these three years, I only hit Yue Hongling at the very beginning, but not afterward. Yue Hongling gave birth to my children, and our life was quite harmonious. Now, Yue Hongling is even a teacher in our village’s primary school, and life is quite good."
"You can see for yourself! Go and see if there are any wounds on Yue Hongling’s body? There are no wounds now. I admit I made a mistake in the past, and I am willing to accept punishment, but I don’t want the death penalty, and I don’t want life imprisonment. I will take responsibility, and I am willing to make financial compensation, whatever the amount!"
"But I really don’t want the death penalty, nor life imprisonment. Yue Hongling has already given me a letter of forgiveness, so just give me a lighter sentence."
"Anyway, I admit my fault. That’s it."
Li Guipeng knew that Gu Chen was not easy to deal with and understood that the evidence was already irrefutable.
If he wanted a reduced sentence, he must go through legal channels.
Fortunately, his family had already made Yue Hongling write a letter of forgiveness.
As long as there is a letter of forgiveness from the litigant and his good attitude in admitting the crime, the sentence can be reduced.
Li Guipeng had looked into this before....
The reason Yue Hongling wrote the letter of forgiveness was also straightforward.
Li Guipeng had provided financial compensation.
Li Guipeng already had power and influence in the village, and his family was in business, so they had some money.
With some money given, plus Yue Hongling gave birth to two children for Li Guipeng, forgiveness came.
After all, Yue Hongling was not as miserable as Xue Yaoyao.
She was considered relatively "obedient" and dared not resist back then...
Because any resistance would lead to a beating.
By today, Yue Hongling had also resigned to her fate.
Netizens watching the live broadcast were a bit anxious and sighed.
[Why would Yue Hongling give such a person a letter of forgiveness?]
[Such people should be heavily penalized! With what Li Guipeng did, he should be sentenced to at least ten or twenty years! Maybe even life!]
[Damn, there’s a letter of forgiveness! If there’s a letter of forgiveness, Li Guipeng probably will get a lighter sentence, probably not even ten years....]
[Damn, Yue Hongling is foolish. What’s the point of giving such a person a letter of forgiveness?]
[The law stipulates that if the victim writes a letter of forgiveness, the sentence will be lighter, and there’s nothing that can be done about it, not even if the Lawless Madman came.]
[I thought he’d at least get life imprisonment, considering how arrogant Li Guipeng was when obstructing the police. Such people are villains!]
Li Guipeng felt he could sit back and relax.
But Gu Chen took out a USB drive!
Gu Chen said, "Your Honor, I have new evidence here!"
Gu Chen submitted the evidence.
"Six years ago, Li Guipeng collaborated with three criminals to abduct two girls!"
"One of them was Xue Yaoyao, and the other was named Wang Tingting."
"Wang Tingting was only 20 years old at the time, quite young and beautiful."
"Li Guipeng took Wang Tingting home and forced her to submit."
"But Wang Tingting resisted submission with her life."
"As a result, Li Guipeng started beating Wang Tingting, and after being beaten, she died."
"Li Guipeng dragged Wang Tingting’s body to the wilderness and buried her."
"Here is the evidence!"
Very few people knew about this matter.
But it was Gu Chen who found the evidence!
And Wang Tingting remains a missing person to this day...
Only after Gu Chen presented the evidence today was Wang Tingting’s death confirmed.
Wang Tingting was killed by Li Guipeng!
"The heavens’ net is wide but not fine, do you think the things you did six years ago left no trace?"
"When you buried the body in the back mountain, someone accidentally recorded it... but they never dared to expose or report it and hid the recording until today."
"DNA testing has been conducted, and the deceased was indeed Wang Tingting."
Gu Chen submitted all kinds of materials and evidence.
Did you think getting a letter of forgiveness would prevent a death sentence?
Yue Hongling may be willing to forgive Li Guipeng.
But that doesn’t mean Wang Tingting, who died, would forgive him.
"Li Guipeng is suspected of kidnapping, intentional homicide, rape, abuse, illegal detention. Despite having a letter of forgiveness from Yue Hongling, it does not change the fact that Li Guipeng is guilty of heinous crimes with extremely severe circumstances! Furthermore, he obstructed law enforcement, injured police officers, and incited riots, he deserves to be punished for multiple crimes, and I urge Your Honor to sentence Li Guipeng to the death penalty!!!"
After Gu Chen presented the evidence, the entire internet was somewhat stunned.
Countless netizens were shocked.
It turns out that Li Guipeng... had even murdered someone six years ago!
To kill is to pay with one’s life, to owe is to repay, such is the natural order!
Especially since Li Guipeng intentionally murdered!
The death penalty is compulsory!!
Netizens saw the new USB drive Gu Chen presented and the various evidence inside.
Soon, Gu Chen also submitted evidence from the other villagers one by one.
The facts, process, of all the villagers’ crimes were all listed.
After receiving all the facts of the crimes, the court decided to adjourn for two days to sort the cases and prepare the final judgment.
All 136 villagers in the village were guilty!
But the seriousness of their crimes varied.
Gu Chen did not let a single one get away!
This case became famous across the internet!
Plus, the seriousness of this case was unprecedented!
Soon, two days later...
The court was to make a pronouncement!!
The time for the court session had arrived.
The defendants’ seats and the audience were filled with criminals!
In the defendants’ seats were Chen Hao, Chen Rui, Chen Ge, along with Duan Hailong, Li Guipeng, and others, all sitting there, awaiting their fate’s judgment!
