Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 441 - 400: Not Guilty? How Could He Be Not Guilty?
The online users were already getting excited.
However, they still couldn’t figure out Gu Chen’s thought process.
How could this be not guilty?
Even if Lawyer Gu really is a Lawless Madman, this case is just too outrageous.
This has already gone beyond what an average person can comprehend.
Initially, the online users just hoped that Li Long’s sentence could be reduced, as long as he wasn’t given the death penalty, that would be acceptable.
As long as it’s not a death penalty, winning the case would be equivalent.
But now, Gu Chen actually said Li Long was not guilty.
[6666666666666.]
[Has Lawyer Gu always been this awesome?]
[What else did you expect? Lawyer Gu is indeed ruthless, claiming Li Long is not guilty right away?]
[I can only say I admire this. No one else could possibly argue this case to the point of a not guilty verdict.]
[It’s indeed impossible for him to be not guilty. Li Long has already confessed, and it’s a murder case; there’s absolutely no way he could be not guilty.]
[But this is Lawyer Gu we’re talking about. When has Lawyer Gu ever lost a case? Everything he says, he accomplishes.]
[Wow, is this the hallmark of Lawyer Gu?]
[If he wins this case, Lawyer Gu is just too incredible....]
[Is Lawyer Gu really not bluffing?]
[Regardless, as long as the death penalty for Li Long can be commuted to life imprisonment, I’d consider the case won.]
[How could this possibly be not guilty?]
Even if it was Gu Chen saying this...
The online users still were not quite convinced.
This is too unbelievable.
Prosecutor Wang Qing shook her head when she heard Gu Chen claim Li Long was not guilty.
Wang Qing thought Gu Chen had lost his mind.
A renowned lawyer like Gu Chen uttering such words in court, isn’t this just ignorance?
Wang Qing said, "Defense attorney, please watch your language. This is a courtroom, and anything you say will be noted down. In court, we cannot disrupt the order nor speak irresponsibly."
"Li Long murdered three people, the evidence is conclusive, the means were heinous, and all the evidence proves that Li Long is the killer. Are you saying... Li Long is not guilty, and that he didn’t murder Lu Jun and the other two?"
Judge Xu Yang silently watched Gu Chen without speaking.
When Gu Chen declared Li Long not guilty in court, even Xu Yang was taken aback.
Xu Yang knew Gu Chen was a formidable lawyer, but he never expected him to claim Li Long was not guilty in such a case.
This was just too exaggerated...
Switching to any other lawyer, they couldn’t possibly reach this extent!
Judge Xu Yang said, "You may not present false evidence in court. If false evidence is provided, there will be legal consequences. I can give the defense attorney another chance to speak."
Xu Yang also thought Gu Chen was talking nonsense.
Li Long not guilty?
Impossible!
To suggest that Li Long didn’t murder Lu Jun and the other two...
That would be sheer fantasy.
The evidence is conclusive: video evidence, DNA tests, weapon analyses, and even eyewitnesses.
All evidence conclusively proves that Li Long is the murderer.
Only if Li Long didn’t commit murder that day could he possibly be acquitted.
But... is this possible?
As skilled as Gu Chen is in court, this is the judiciary we’re talking about.
The courtroom focuses on evidence!
And at this moment, Li Long was also dumbfounded.
Li Long spoke, "Lawyer Gu, I’m the one who killed them. I admit I killed them. You don’t need to defend me. I acknowledge all charges. I am the murderer."
Li Long didn’t care anymore and directly confessed in court.
This left the online users speechless.
Why is Li Long in such a rush?
Lawyer Gu just started, why is Li Long eager to confess?
Is Li Long in a hurry to speed up his own demise?
Seeing Li Long confess, Gu Chen shook his head.
No matter what words the defendant Li Long wanted to say, Gu Chen didn’t care.
This case, he was determined to win.
After all, it involved the law firm’s reputation...
Gu Chen’s win rate in court is 100%, and although Gu Chen himself doesn’t care about this, when he fights a case, he still wants to win.
It’s definitely better to win a case!
Though win rates don’t matter much to Gu Chen, if he could win a case, he’d choose to win it.
Gu Chen said, "I hope my client refrains from disrupting court order; only with the court’s permission can the client speak."
Li Long: "????"
Gu Chen said, "Judge, I stand by what I said earlier."
"I don’t feel the need to defend for a sentence reduction for my client because my client is not guilty. The court should acquit my client!"
Gu Chen reiterated his stance.
This time... Judge Xu Yang sat upright.
The three judges got into position.
Gu Chen’s lawyering skills are highly regarded...
But for Gu Chen to repeat Li Long being not guilty now is utterly baffling.
The judge had already reminded him, if Gu Chen claims not guilty, shouldn’t he present evidence?
If there’s no evidence, then it’s just nonsense.
In court, one can make bold claims, but once spoken, evidence must be provided! 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Prosecutor Wang Qing said, "Since the defense attorney believes Li Long is not guilty, please present the corresponding evidence."
All eyes turned to Gu Chen at once.
Some online users even felt a bit hopeful.
They didn’t know how Gu Chen could prove Li Long’s innocence...
But many still had some faith in Gu Chen.
Gu Chen is a Lawless Madman after all....
[Here it comes!]
[What evidence will the Lawless Madman present this time?]
[Li Long not guilty, how could that be possible?]
[If Li Long is truly not guilty, I’ll eat my hat while doing a handstand.]
[Above, just wait and see. Watch how the Lawless Madman defends, although I don’t know how he plans to do it either....]
Under everyone’s gaze.
Gu Chen slowly took out a USB drive.
Gu Chen said, "As I present this evidence..."
"I first want to tell everyone...."
"My client Li Long is not guilty."
"Many years ago on that night, Li Long witnessed an assault, his own mother being beaten and humiliated."
"That night became a shadow over Li Long’s entire life."
"We can all ponder, what did Li Long go through?"
"He watched helplessly as his mother was beaten to death! Watched helplessly as her body was covered in wounds."
"Bloody wounds, right in front of Li Long...."
"But how old was Li Long at that time?"
"This scene left a lasting shadow on him... never to be forgotten."
"In fact, it’s more than a shadow."
"It’s fear, it’s a nightmare!"
"Li Long repeatedly dreams of that night, dreaming of the night his mother was beaten to death by others...."
"So, what I want to say is...."
"My client is not guilty!"
"And the reason for his innocence is because—"
