Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 364 - 358: Zhao Sisi Deliberately Committed Murder!
Presiding Judge Qiu Ming struck the gavel.
"Defendants and parties, please refrain from speaking without permission and disrupting court order. This is your first warning."
Seeing the presiding judge warn her, Zhao Sisi thought, "????"
Was there something wrong with saying anything?
Zhao Sisi felt a bit flustered.
The viewers in the livestream were speechless at how audacious Zhao Sisi was.
They’d seen audacious behavior before, but never like this.
Li Zhengyi jumped into the river to save her, and now he’s at fault?
What kind of outrageous statement is that?
[Ridiculous, I beg Lawyer Gu to sentence Zhao Sisi to death.]
[Li Zhengyi jumped into the river himself and drowned because of her? Saying something like this is truly absurd.]
[Woah, is Zhao Sisi not going to get the death penalty for this?]
[This seems like deliberate murder by Zhao Sisi, doesn’t it?]
Seeing Gu Chen produce evidence, Zhao Sisi was noticeably panicked.
At this moment, Du Jinglin raised his hand.
With the presiding judge’s permission, Du Jinglin began, "I’ve reviewed all the evidence the plaintiff’s lawyer submitted."
"Zhao Sisi can indeed swim. The video shows she has even won some small competitions."
"However, you must understand these are very minor competitions and not true city-level events, which do not demonstrate Zhao Sisi’s swimming skills as being highly advanced."
"The results of this competition are not significant, and many people could achieve similar results. Just because Zhao Sisi can swim, what does that prove?"
"Does being able to swim guarantee she won’t drown?"
Du Jinglin continued, "The place Zhao Sisi jumped into the river had a rapidly flowing current, which is entirely different from a swimming pool, where the water is still and supervised by coaches. Even so, there’ve been cases of drowning in such pools."
"Even in a one-meter deep pool, it is possible for an adult to drown, let alone in a river with unknown depth? In rapid currents, even if you can swim, it is inherently dangerous!"
"During a flood, even an Olympic swimming champion would face the risk of drowning."
"Zhao Sisi jumped into the river twice. It indicates she encountered something that made her abandon hope for life; she was solely focused on committing suicide, showing she had no attachments to this world anymore. Zhao Sisi should be regarded as the victim, forced into desperation and choosing suicide."
"The notion of murdering Li Zhengyi intentionally isn’t viable."
"Zhao Sisi jumped into the river on her own, not with the intention of dragging Li Zhengyi along."
"Zhao Sisi experienced a significant emotional upheaval, leading her to the brink of suicide. Isn’t it clear she was stimulated? Can we blame her? She is now dealing with severe depression."
Du Jinglin submitted evidence of Zhao Sisi’s depression.
"This is Zhao Sisi’s examination report, demonstrating she is indeed depressed, so her actions could be conceivable."
"If Zhao Sisi had pulled Li Zhengyi along when she jumped into the river, it could be said Zhao Sisi intended to murder Li Zhengyi."
"However... Zhao Sisi’s statements weren’t problematic."
"She intended to jump into the river herself and did not pull Li Zhengyi. Why involve Zhao Sisi in Li Zhengyi’s death?"
"After the first rescue attempt, Li Zhengyi was clearly exhausted."
"Zhao Sisi then chose to jump into the river a second time."
"At that point, Li Zhengyi was aware of his physical limits, yet still chose to jump in, indicating a misjudgment of his capabilities, placing himself in danger."
"As a result, Li Zhengyi drowned due to his own exhaustion."
"Thus, Zhao Sisi bears no relation to this incident."
"Zhao Sisi doesn’t constitute intentional murder, nor does she qualify for manslaughter charges."
"Li Zhengyi, while aware of his fatigue, jumped into the river voluntarily. It shows he failed to foresee the potential risk of jumping, with other viable rescue methods not necessitating diving into the river."
"I’m saddened and helpless regarding Li Zhengyi’s sacrifice, as it claimed an excellent firefighter."
"But Zhao Sisi is undeniably merely a victim."
"How can you accuse a victim of intentional murder?"
"Presiding Judge, my statement is concluded."
Du Jinglin finished speaking.
Gu Chen then spoke up, "Why couldn’t it be intentional murder?"
"Must intentional murder involve Zhao Sisi wielding a knife to harm Li Zhengyi?"
"Zhao Sisi clearly knows how to swim. Her actions while jumping the first time were to press Li Zhengyi’s head under, a maneuver she knew could cause two people to drown, predicting the possible consequences of such actions."
"During the second jump, Zhao Sisi still chose to press Li Zhengyi’s head down when he was visibly exhausted."
"At that time, Zhao Sisi was physically strong."
"A helpful bystander offered a pole. If Li Zhengyi could grab the pole, he would have been saved!"
"But Zhao Sisi pushed Li Zhengyi away!"
"She knew where Li Zhengyi was!"
"If the first time was accidental, unaware of Li Zhengyi being behind her."
"Then surely by the second time, she’d know?"
"The second time, an eager bystander again tossed a rope next to Li Zhengyi."
"Yet Zhao Sisi still kicked Li Zhengyi away!"
"Are you telling me she was clueless Li Zhengyi was behind her during the first push?"
"At the time, Zhao Sisi was act flat, ensuring her safety, and still chose to push Li Zhengyi aside once she realized someone was behind her and fight for the rope, displaying selfishness and disregard for Li Zhengyi’s life!"
"Even this one, spectators shouted for Li Zhengyi to catch the rope. Did Zhao Sisi truly not hear?"
"The third time, the spectators offered a rope again!"
"This time, the rope was almost within Li Zhengyi’s reach."
"Zhao Sisi repeated the same maneuver, pushing Li Zhengyi away, attacking the rope herself."
"Three times in all! Each time Zhao Sisi pushed Li Zhengyi aside, aiming for the rope herself."
"Zhao Sisi knew Li Zhengyi was near drowning and continued to grab the rope alone and press Li Zhengyi’s head down multiple times. Isn’t that intentional murder? Was she unaware of the likely consequences of her actions?"
"Even if Li Zhengyi was an Olympic swimming champion, he stood no chance of survival under these circumstances. Yet he drowned heroically, and Zhao Sisi acted with disregard for his life."
"Ultimately, Li Zhengyi drowned, and a hero left us forever."
"And Zhao Sisi casually said, ’Who told Li Zhengyi to jump in on his own? Did she force him?’"
"With one statement, she aims to absolve herself of blame."
"Is this fair?"
"Li Zhengyi sacrificed his life trying to rescue you, and you intentionally murdered and now evade accountability and exonerate yourself?"
