Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 444 - 402: How Could Gu Chen Possibly Lose a Lawsuit?
Gu Chen continued: "This is a conditioned reflex, an unconscious conditioned reflex in such a situation."
"The old man thought it was a grenade, but in fact it was just a potato. Yet, the old man dreamt of the nightmares of his youth, dreaming of using his body to shield others from a grenade. He would rather die himself than let his brothers die."
"The old man has lived so many years, doesn’t he know that there are no grenades in modern society?"
"He’s not sitting on a bus for the first time either. How could there be a grenade on a bus?"
"Moreover, this old man was a soldier. Although he is old now, he’s not senile."
"But when he saw the potato fall, he still threw himself at it without hesitation."
"This is an instinctive reaction, an instinct engraved in his bones!"
"Does the old man need to react? Does he need to think in his mind about what to do?"
"Just like my client Li Long, Li Long faced the same result as this old man, with his closest kin dying..."
"But the process is different."
"The old man was a soldier who could take revenge with his own hands!"
"But... Li Long’s deceased was his own mother, he watched everything happen before his eyes!"
"This has already become a lifelong shadow for him!"
"You say Li Long had a clear motive, a cruel modus operandi, and a clear plan?"
"But what I want to say is that Li Long does not need any plan or means!"
"He is mentally ill; he does these things following his instincts."
Gu Chen finished speaking.
The audience erupted in thunderous applause.
The spectators in the gallery applauded like thunder.
Everyone understood what Gu Chen said...
Due to the death of his mother in his childhood, the shadow of that event has accompanied Li Long to this day, severely affecting his mental state.
Li Long is a mentally ill person.
Does avenging his mother require an elaborate plan?
Li Long just went out with a knife to kill at night...
He just wanted to avenge, to seek revenge for his mother.
Li Long is mentally ill, but he is not a true thug!
The three people he killed, Lu Jun, Lu Wang, Lu Daniu, were all the murderers who killed his mother.
Other passersby were present at the time, but Li Long didn’t look at these passersby once.
Also, it wasn’t just these three people in Lu Hai’s house at the time.
It was National Day, and the whole family was there...
Li Long spared those unrelated.
An eye for an eye, he only wanted to kill the murderers!
He could clearly identify these three murderers.
Gu Chen said: "To put it bluntly, my client Li Long has a mental illness and he did not harm the innocent. These three people were the murderers of his mother. I do not think Li Long poses any social danger, nor do I believe the nature of Li Long’s crime is severe. Li Long is not guilty of murder; he is just a mentally ill person who does not know what he is doing."
"A mentally ill person like this does not kill indiscriminately and poses no threat. Moreover, Li Long has had a mental illness for so many years, and he hasn’t harmed anyone."
"Li Long merely punished the murderers of his mother. I don’t see anything malicious in what Li Long did. Avenging a mother isn’t malevolent, is it? Setting a car on fire, what does that prove? The car he burned was Lu Jun’s, and he didn’t damage public property."
Everyone around was silent.
No one could refute Gu Chen.
A mentally ill person killing, is it really illegal?
The prosecutor Wang Qing coughed lightly.
Wang Qing finally spoke: "I still believe that Li Long clearly intended to kill three people, had self-awareness at the time of the incident, and was not unconscious. How else could he have only killed Lu Jun, Lu Wang, and Lu Daniu? Regardless of how the defense explains, I maintain my viewpoint." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
No matter what, Wang Qing could not stand with Gu Chen.
She must find a way to convict Li Long.
Li Long killed three people; if he is not convicted, where is the authority of the law?
Gu Chen wants to defend Li Long as not guilty... who can accept that?
Regardless of the court’s ruling or Gu Chen’s explanations in court, she must hold Li Long accountable.
Wang Qing said: "Even if this incident became Li Long’s shadow, Li Long still has self-awareness and is not entirely lacking it."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen said: "So does the old man on the bus who intentionally covered the potato lack self-awareness? We are in Huaxia, not some other country. How could there be grenades on a bus? How could the old man, after living so many years in our country, not know? It’s just an instinct, an unconscious instinct."
Wang Qing said: "You’re right, but the old man’s reaction was an instant instinct, human nature, understandable. But Li Long was killing, killing continuously... after Lu Jun ran away, Li Long chased him and killed him. Do you think that’s an instinct of the moment?"
Gu Chen just smiled and said: "The old man is a normal person, and more importantly, a soldier."
"But Li Long is just a mentally ill person."
"When a mentally ill person commits a crime, they lack self-awareness."
"It’s just that these three happened to be the enemies in Li Long’s memory, so Li Long pursued and killed these three without hurting others."
