Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 423 - 390: Court Verdict! The Entire Internet Is Stunned!
Or perhaps Zhao Sisi pressed down on Li Zhengyi’s head, causing Li Zhengyi to drown in the river...
In all these cases, Gu Chen is always on the side of justice.
But today’s case is different...
In today’s case, Sun Yuxuan is the one who truly broke someone’s leg, the "criminal."
What Gu Chen is doing is defending Sun Yuxuan...
Moreover, the evidence is solid, the impact is severe, and the harm to Liu Ting has resulted in third-degree disability.
Gu Chen is defending Sun Yuxuan...
Still, this lawsuit is going to be very hard to win.
To be blunt, sentencing Sun Yuxuan to life imprisonment in the first trial is justified.
The second trial maintaining the original sentence is quite possible too.
[Hey, can this case reduce Sun Yuxuan’s sentence?]
[I think it’s very difficult, Sun Yuxuan did break Liu Ting’s legs, causing third-degree disability. Reducing the sentence is quite tough.]
[Ah, there’s no way... There’s really no way.]
[Sun Yuxuan is really quite pitiful. He’s a man, but there’s nothing we can do now. Reducing Sun Yuxuan’s sentence is indeed very hard.]
[The main issue is that the assault was too severe. Even if Lawyer Gu intervenes, this case is very likely to maintain the original sentence.]
[There’s no way... Lawyer Gu has done his best... You can only say Liu Ting is the problem.]
[It’s true that Liu Ting is the problem, and Liu Ting has big issues. Discretionary power, is this how you’re supposed to use it?]
Netizens are all speaking out for Sun Yuxuan.
.....
In a room.
Judge Gong Yuqing, Judge Zhang Jiaxin, Lin Jiayu are all present.
Judge Zhang Jiaxin said: "The consequences of this case are quite severe. Sun Yuxuan broke Liu Ting’s legs. The nature of it is serious, especially when Liu Ting is a judge... Even if Liu Ting’s ruling is indeed inappropriate, Sun Yuxuan should not have resorted to violence, let alone inflict third-degree disability... The nature of this is too severe, so my suggestion is to maintain the original sentence."
Judge Lin Jiayu said from the side: "I think we can reduce the sentence, Lawyer Gu is not wrong, Sun Yuxuan attacking someone is because he was driven to a dead end, right? Liu Ting’s actions, what’s the difference between them and directly depriving Sun Yuxuan of his life? How is a divorce case supposed to be handled like this? Liu Ting has discretional power, but who let her use it like that? She was obviously biased towards Wang Ru, leaving Sun Yuxuan with no share in the property, isn’t it ridiculous? Not even a penny was divided."
Lin Jiayu said: "For someone who’s pushed to a dead end like Sun Yuxuan, committing such acts is quite normal, and Sun Yuxuan didn’t have the intention to kill Liu Ting, nor harm anyone else, he’s solely focused on Liu Ting. In this case, it’s Liu Ting’s problem, her ruling is unreasonable."
"Sun Yuxuan was driven to desperation, truly without options, but what could Sun Yuxuan do? He could only solve the problem his own way, anyone else might have done something more severe than what Sun Yuxuan did." Lin Jiayu spoke up.
Zhang Jiaxin said, "But that’s not a reason for Sun Yuxuan to beat someone to this extent, it’s still against the law."
Lin Jiayu said: "Sun Yuxuan did break the law, but it’s understandable. The things Sun Yuxuan encountered did indeed subject him to unfair treatment, and Liu Ting’s recent cases have shown some signs of bias, which isn’t good. You can’t have such obvious bias in every case, right? Someone will review the cases Liu Ting handled."
At this moment, Gong Yuqing spoke up.
Gong Yuqing said: "I also think what Lawyer Gu said makes sense....."
"The nature of this case appears severe, but in reality, it’s not like that."
"Driven to a dead end with no way out, facing the anger of his wife’s infidelity, the despair and helplessness from his father’s death...."
"And it’s all because of Liu Ting."
"Had Liu Ting ruled normally, I don’t think Sun Yuxuan would have done this to Liu Ting, right?"
"Sun Yuxuan didn’t act intentionally, nor did he deliberately refuse compensation... It’s just because he doesn’t have a penny... Plus the good attitude of turning himself in and confessing post-incident, it’s possible to reduce the sentence."
"In such emotional distress, it’s normal for Sun Yuxuan to act irrationally."
"With the death of Sun Yuxuan’s family, being overwhelmed with anger and despair, his mental state was already unstable, on the verge of losing control."
"And it was under this state that Sun Yuxuan acted irrationally."
"Sun Yuxuan’s mental state wasn’t normal, nor was it premeditated... It happened under a state of irrational behavior."
"In this case, I agree to reduce Sun Yuxuan’s sentence." Gong Yuqing spoke up.
After hearing this, Zhang Jiaxin also felt Gong Yuqing made sense.
If a criminal was premeditated, waiting for the moment to seriously harm someone, then the sentence would certainly be severe.
But what about Sun Yuxuan?
Sun Yuxuan had completely lost his mind...
Also, Sun Yuxuan had been drinking beforehand.
Plus, Sun Yuxuan surrendered and apologized, the sentence can indeed be reduced.
Moreover, taking a step back, in this case, isn’t Liu Ting the one truly in the wrong?
Liu Ting pushed Sun Yuxuan to this extent. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Gong Yuqing said: "I suggest changing the sentence to three years fixed-term imprisonment. Life imprisonment is indeed too heavy and inappropriate."
Zhang Jiaxin said: "I agree."
Lin Jiayu nodded, "I agree too."
After a unanimous discussion....
The court has already reached a verdict on Sun Yuxuan.
Soon, two hours had passed.
In the courtroom....
A new session had started.
Gong Yuqing stood on the podium and said: "Everyone rise, the verdict is now announced."
Everyone stood up.
Gong Yuqing said: "In this case, Sun Yuxuan violently injured Liu Ting, resulting in third-degree disability, which is grave. However, prior to the event, Sun Yuxuan was betrayed by his wife, lost all his property, and his father had passed away recently. Sun Yuxuan’s mental state had issues, and under a largely uncontrolled mental state, he drank... and assaulted Liu Ting."
"After the incident, Sun Yuxuan immediately confessed, revealed all details, and actively cooperated with the court’s investigation, showing a good attitude of admitting guilt."
"Sun Yuxuan should have compensated for medical expenses, but he is in no financial position to do so, so there is no compensation needed for Liu Ting."
"Sun Yuxuan intended to give Liu Ting a lesson; it was due to the unstable mental state and misjudgments caused by drinking, leading to accidental severe injury to Liu Ting..."
"The first trial sentence is now overturned."
"This court hereby pronounces..."
"Sun Yuxuan is guilty of negligent severe injury, sentenced to two years fixed-term imprisonment with a three-year probation."
"The verdict is now complete."
"This ruling is the final verdict, and the judgment document will be issued to the parties. It becomes legally effective upon the start of the ruling."
Gong Yuqing struck the gavel.
"The trial procedures for this case are now fully completed, court is adjourned."
Case closed!!
In the defendant’s seat, Sun Yuxuan was surprised by the sentencing...
The live-streaming audience was shocked too!
Sun Yuxuan’s mother was also somewhat surprised...
A two-year sentence with a three-year probation!
What does this signify?
This means Sun Yuxuan doesn’t need to serve time!
A two-year sentence means, according to the law, Sun Yuxuan should be confined for two years.
But with a three-year probation, it means Sun Yuxuan doesn’t need to serve the sentence in prison.
As long as he complies with regulations, avoids unlawful acts, regularly reports his activities, and seeks approval before leaving the city or county...
After three years, it’ll all be fine!
In simple terms, as long as Sun Yuxuan doesn’t break the law within three years, he’ll be completely fine!
Within these three years, Sun Yuxuan can still live at home...
As long as he abides by laws and submits to supervision, there won’t be any problems!
This verdict compared to the first trial’s life imprisonment... basically equates to Sun Yuxuan being released without imprisonment!
