Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 447 - 403: The Court Is About to Pronounce Judgment! Li Long Is Innocent! (2)
Three hours remain until the final court session.
Once the three hours are up, they will know the final verdict for Li Long.
....
In an office.
Presiding Judge Xu Yang, surrounded by three other judges.
The names of the three judges are Li Liang, Zhang Xia, and Wang Yong.
Wang Yong said, "Presiding Judge, I believe this case can be ruled as not guilty for Li Long. I have reviewed all the evidence, including the videos of Li Long in the detention center. He is indeed a person with serious mental issues, and the relevant hospitals have also conducted tests confirming that Li Long is a mental patient."
Zhang Xia said, "Li Long has had mental illness for a long time; the trauma from his childhood indeed turned him into a mental patient. When he committed the crime, he probably did not have self-awareness. Lawyer Gu is right, if Li Long truly had self-awareness, he wouldn’t have killed just those three people. After all, for a murderer, killing three or four people makes no difference."
Li Liang said, "Yes, I have also reviewed the case materials. On the day of the incident, Lu Hai’s family had more than ten people present, but Li Long only killed three of them... He is a mental patient, and according to the law, this case should directly be revised to not guilty."
After listening to the opinions of the three judges, Xu Yang also fell silent.
Xu Yang said, "Li Long was already a mental patient at the time of the crime, and indeed couldn’t understand what he was doing. According to the relevant legal provisions, Li Long indeed does not need to bear any criminal responsibility."
"However, Li Long is a mental patient and still poses a certain threat to society."
Wang Yong nodded, "So I think Li Long can be sent to the hospital for long-term treatment... If there’s no money, we can have a social fundraiser to help Li Long walk out of the shadow promptly."
Xu Yang said, "Alright, then this case is settled. Li Long will be acquitted..."
"But Li Long, having killed three people, should also compensate the victims’ families."
Zhang Xia said, "He should compensate the victims’ families, but how much should be compensated? The mental distress costs for the families of the three deceased, and the funeral expenses for the three individuals, amount to a considerable sum."
Wang Yong said, "He should compensate the families of the three deceased, even though Li Long is acquitted criminally, he still has to bear part of the civil compensation."
Presiding Judge Xu Yang looked at the group and said, "To sum up all the compensation, it would be at least over 300,000, but can Li Long come up with such a compensation amount?"
Wang Yong said, "Didn’t Li Long earn over 300,000 while working before? This money can be used to compensate Lu Jun’s family."
Zhang Xia nodded, "I agree."
Then Judge Li Liang said, "That’s incorrect. Li Long had already given this money to his father Li Haoran in advance, so now Li Long has no property at all, and Li Long is a mental patient. His mental illness has worsened, and he doesn’t have a penny, nor has he the ability to work. Li Long still needs long-term hospital treatment. Even if we ruled for Li Long to compensate, it would be impossible. Li Long currently is incapable of repayment."
Li Liang said, "Li Long is a mental patient, now unable to even pay for his treatment, let alone compensation. Even if we ruled for Li Long to compensate a hundred yuan, could he manage a hundred yuan? He doesn’t have a cent..."
"And we can’t make Li Haoran pay compensation either."
Even if Li Haoran is Li Long’s father...
Now that Li Long is an adult, if Li Long were to compensate, it would only require him to bear the compensation himself.
The court can’t make Li Haoran pay...
Xu Yang nodded.
Indeed... no matter how we rule, it’s to let Li Long make civil compensation, but based on Li Long’s current conditions, it’s entirely impossible for Li Long to compensate.
It’s a joke to expect a mental patient to compensate.
He can’t afford his treatment, let alone pay others?
That’s daydreaming.
This case still presents some challenges.
Li Long killed three people, even if he doesn’t need to bear criminal responsibility...
But what about civil compensation?
Li Long himself no longer has the ability to earn money.
Through this case, Li Long’s mental illness has escalated, making it even less possible to work for money.
Xu Yang said, "So in this way, it’s impossible to let Li Long make civil compensation; he simply can’t compensate, lacking the capacity for repayment, how can he compensate?"
Li Liang said, "Li Long doesn’t need to be responsible for civil compensation either; as a mental patient, he can’t compensate."
Xu Yang took another look at the case, reflecting on it.
Xu Yang said, "No, after thinking it over, listen to me."
Li Liang, Zhang Xia, and Wang Yong, the three judges, all listened to Xu Yang.
Xu Yang said, "In this case, isn’t Li Long a mental patient? A mental patient committing a crime doesn’t need to bear any responsibility because he doesn’t know what he’s doing, so how can he bear responsibility? He doesn’t need to take criminal responsibility or civil responsibility, hence Li Long is directly acquitted...."
"Of course, subsequently, Li Long still needs to undergo comprehensive treatment in a hospital. No choice, if Li Long doesn’t receive treatment, it’s somewhat dangerous, and he must go for treatment."
"That’s my opinion, that Li Long be directly acquitted."
Li Liang nodded, "I think that’s acceptable."
Wang Yong and Zhang Xia also nodded.
They didn’t have any objections.
Li Long is directly acquitted; what civil compensation?
That’s nonexistent!
Xu Yang said, "Additionally, I noted this in the case."
"In this case, didn’t Li Long’s mother pass away? And Li Long’s father was injured by Lu Hai’s family."
"At the time, it was also ruled that Lu Hai’s family needed to compensate Li Long’s family, totaling 139,021 yuan in various compensations."
"However, Lu Hai’s family was very unreasonable back then, not paying a single penny, and Li Long’s family didn’t receive any compensation."
It’s just to say, the court’s ruling back then was fine.
It required Lu Hai’s family to compensate Li Long’s family.
After investigation, it turned out that Lu Hai’s family didn’t pay at all.
How can it be okay not to pay compensation?
The court had ruled that Lu Hai’s family must compensate...
But back then, Li Long was too young, and his father, Li Haoran, didn’t understand these things, not even knowing that they could apply to the court for enforcement.
Xu Yang thought that in the final ruling, Lu Hai and others could still be required to pay back...
At least this prior compensation must be reimbursed.
Zhang Xia said, "I suggest adding interest, Lu Hai’s family not paying compensation all these years is quite excessive, as if disregarding the court’s decision. That previous case didn’t compensate Li Long’s family; now it should be compensated."
"But in this case... did Li Long apply for it? If he didn’t apply, we can’t just rule that way, it doesn’t make sense."
Xu Yang reviewed the documents and said, "Lawyer Gu has filed all the applications... Lawyer Gu even revisited the previous case, so this case becomes easy to judge. With a reasonable legal request, we can rule accordingly."
The four all nodded.
Finally, after three hours, the four have reached a verdict.
The final verdict is about to be announced!
The four are very attentive to this case....
With Gu Chen’s impeccable preparation.
The case is about to be declared.
Three hours have passed.
The court is full of people.
The live broadcast room has resumed streaming.
The court is about to reconvene and announce the verdict!
