Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 452 - 406: The Parrot Case—Can Gu Chen Win?
This parrot case, the first trial is over, and the evidence is conclusive.
With the client having already confessed, the client’s parents disagreed and persuaded the client to appeal the second trial.
The more Xue Qingqing looked at this case, the more she felt it was difficult to argue.
This case is actually very simple and not complicated, but the difficulty lies in how to defend it.
What is certain is that Li Peng indeed committed a crime.
The facts of the crime are there, and the conditions for defending Li Peng to reduce his sentence are not established.
In other words, there is no angle for defense in this case.
Even if the boss steps in, it’s almost impossible to successfully defend this case.
The court sentenced Li Peng to five years, but in reality, this punishment is not very severe.
Xue Qingqing carefully reviewed the result of the first trial.
After understanding, she discovered that out of the ten parrots Li Peng bought and raised, three are nationally protected animals of the second grade, and the remaining seven parrots are also key national protected animals, all endangered species.
If it were raising one or two second-grade protected animals without causing severe consequences, such a sentence wouldn’t be very severe.
But Li Peng raised ten parrots.
With a quantity of ten, a five-year sentence is already the lightest punishment.
In the second trial, the court might change the sentence to ten years in prison, which is also possible.
This case indeed involves a lot of money, but winning this lawsuit is very difficult.
Xue Qingqing said with some concern, "Boss, this case is not complicated, but it’s very difficult to win in court, very hard to defend. I don’t even know how to defend it."
Gu Chen said, "No problem, I’ve already looked at this case. It’s quite simple to defend, and the court hearing is tomorrow, right? I’ll take on this case." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Xue Qingqing: "???"
Gu Chen took out a contract.
He had already understood the case in the morning, knowing the whole process.
The contract was also signed...
Li Peng’s parents directly offered five hundred thousand to hire Gu Chen to fight this case.
Gu Chen saw that there was room for defense in this case, so he took it on.
If it were a too simple case, there wouldn’t be a need for Gu Chen to defend it.
Soon, netizens knew that Gu Chen had taken on this case again.
Because Li Peng had posted videos of raising parrots online, many fans were aware.
Many netizens also knew that Li Peng was sentenced for raising parrots.
Unexpectedly, now Gu Chen steps up to defend Li Peng.
[Wow, there’s a new lawsuit to watch! Do you know Li Peng? He was sentenced for raising parrots before, and now Lawyer Gu is stepping up to defend him.]
[Li Peng raised ten national second-grade protected animals. Both purchasing and raising are crimes, even if Li Peng raised the parrots healthy and well-fed, it is still a crime. Didn’t he already get a five-year sentence?]
[A five-year sentence seems to be a lenient punishment. It seems that Li Peng’s parents disapproved, then persuaded Li Peng to appeal, and now Li Peng is appealing, with Gu Chen as the defense lawyer. But there is no room for defense in this case.]
[Li Peng has already confessed. How can you defend this case? The second trial might even give a more severe sentence.]
[But this is Lawyer Gu, right? Whenever has Lawyer Gu lost in court? As long as Lawyer Gu steps up to defend, he will definitely succeed in defense, rest assured, this is the Lawless Madman!]
[What’s the relation with the Lawless Madman? I’m talking about the law here. I know Lawyer Gu is great at lawsuits, but the issue is this case cannot be acquittal. Even if Gu Chen is amazing, he can’t defend Li Peng to be not guilty. What are you thinking?]
[Haha, this is where you don’t understand the Lawless Madman. Gu Chen won the last case defending Li Long, who killed three people.]
[I know this case, but you can’t say Li Peng is mentally ill, can you?]
Some netizens still support Gu Chen, thinking that as long as he steps up, any lawsuit can be won.
Thus, Li Peng is sure to have a reduced sentence, and perhaps even an acquittal is possible.
But some netizens do not agree.
They think that lawsuits should still follow the law.
There is no room for sentence reduction in this case.
Li Peng’s crime evidence is conclusive, and he can’t be mentally ill, so there’s absolutely no possibility of being not guilty.
Moreover, Li Peng did not surrender himself but was arrested after being reported. So how can this case be defended?
Besides, Gu Chen just took this case, yet the trial is tomorrow.
Is one day enough?
.....
Gu Chen reviewed the entire first trial documentation.
The presiding judge of the first trial: Wang Ling.
The trial judges of the first trial: Fang Min, Zhang Kaixin.
The prosecutor of the first trial: Gao Qiang.
After understanding the entire first trial documentation, Gu Chen had an idea about this case.
It could still be applied when the court is in session tomorrow.
For this case, Gu Chen also ran a system check.
There was no evidence in the system interface.
In other words, this case is indeed a normal lawsuit.
Li Peng committed a crime, the evidence is conclusive, purchasing and raising national second-grade protected animals, now sentenced after being reported.
The case process is in order, and Li Peng has confessed.
The case should have ended here, but Li Peng’s parents were not satisfied, feeling a five-year sentence was too heavy, hence hiring Gu Chen to handle this case.
After understanding all the lawsuit scenarios, Gu Chen checked the system...
Indeed, nothing was found from the system.
So this case still relies on Gu Chen’s own maneuvers.
After preparing everything, it was already eight o’clock at night.
