Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 456 - 408: Gu Chen Hasn’t Even Acted Yet, and the Defendant Already Pleads Guilty?
Du Jingguang is very confident.
He wants to see how Gu Chen fights this case.
If Gu Chen has the ability, he should acquit Li Peng again. If Li Peng is sentenced, he has a way to deal with Gu Chen.
As for this case, Du Jingguang knows that even if Gu Chen were a god, he couldn’t possibly acquit Wang Peng.
That’s the time to make things difficult for Gu Chen!
Gu Chen, on the other hand, can’t do much about him.
"Gu Chen, oh Gu Chen, if you have the ability, just acquit Li Peng directly. This time, even as a deity, you can’t do it! As long as Li Peng is sentenced, you lose the case! Just wait and see!!" Du Jingguang said.
...
The trial is scheduled for the next day.
Li Peng’s parents sighed.
Li Peng’s father, Li Zhongnan, said, "I don’t know if Gu Chen can do it, if he can get our son a reduced sentence."
Li Peng’s mother, Zhang Yaru, sighed beside him, "Oh, why did our son just plead guilty? He was given five years in the first trial, he’s just graduated from college, getting five years in the first trial, in the future he can’t take the civil service exam, can’t enter the system, half of his life is already ruined, the key is he just graduated from college, what will he be like in five years?"
Li Zhongnan was also somewhat helpless, "Who could have thought that the parrots our son bought were all second-class protected animals of the state, and now he’s directly caught and sent to prison."
Zhang Yaru said, "I heard Gu Chen is an exceptionally skilled lawyer. If he can help our son get a reduced sentence, that would be great, even reducing it by one year would be good."
Zhang Yaru had already resigned herself.
Ever since Li Peng was put inside, Zhang Yaru worries about her son every day.
She has been running around for her son, trying various ways.
In the first trial, they already found a good lawyer, but unfortunately, they lost the case.
They couldn’t say anything, and after the final verdict, the lawyer told them that Li Peng’s five-year sentence was already the lightest punishment, advising him not to appeal further, as appealing would be of no use.
Li Peng ultimately had no choice but to plead guilty, as what he had done was indeed illegal.
But Li Peng’s parents felt that five years was still too long.
That’s serving five years in prison...
Serving five years, what will he be like when he gets out?
Finding a job wouldn’t be possible, and he’d have lost five years of his life.
"I feel there’s little hope, why not put this 500,000 legal fee in the bank as a fixed deposit for our son, in five years there will be quite a bit of interest. Now spending 500,000 on the case, if we lose, our son still has to serve five years and the 500,000 is gone too." Li Zhongnan said.
Li Zhongnan is not short of money, their family does have some funds.
But Li Zhongnan is just a small business owner, and it’s getting harder to make money in recent years, income is not as good as before.
Li Zhongnan’s family assets are about five or six million, but cash is only about a million.
The rest are tied up in real estate, in cars...
Completely incomparable to those truly wealthy individuals.
Li Zhongnan feels this 500,000 is wasted.
Even if the sentence is reduced by one or two years, letting Li Peng out to work for one or two years probably won’t accumulate 500,000.
Zhang Yaru said, "Li Zhongnan, what are you saying, isn’t Li Peng your son? You want to watch him in prison for five years? If he can come out one year earlier, I think it’s worth it!"
Li Zhongnan took a drag off a cigarette and said, "I’ve asked a lot of lawyers, they all say our son’s five-year sentence is the lightest. I’m not worried about the 500,000, I’m worried that the appeal might result in changing the sentence to six years, seven years, even ten years; it’s all possible!"
Zhang Yaru: "????"
She didn’t expect that the appeal could result in a heavier sentence.
If her son’s sentence was changed to heavier, wouldn’t it be over?
For a moment, Zhang Yaru also felt a bit regretful.
Zhang Yaru said, "It shouldn’t be possible, we’ve hired Gu Chen this time, right? Gu Chen has never lost a case so far, people outside say Gu Chen is very capable in lawsuits."
Li Zhongnan extinguished the cigarette butt and said, "Now there’s nothing we can do, let’s see the case tomorrow. If this case can be won, what does it matter if I give Gu Chen another 500,000? Getting a reduced sentence for our son is what’s most important."
....
At this moment, Gu Chen is already asleep.
Xue Qingqing is also asleep.
There are nine hours left before the court proceedings.
Soon, it’s already past eight in the morning.
This time, in the courtroom, people haven’t arrived yet.
But the seats for the audience section are already full.
If you don’t rush for seats, you probably won’t get any.
Even major news media have arrived.
Du Jingguang is sitting in the first row of the audience section, prepared to see Gu Chen lose. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Does Gu Chen want to win this case? It’s impossible!
Gu Chen is absolutely not going to win!
Xia Ranran, Gao Yong, have also come to the scene.
Even Zhang Wei and Zhang Fei have arrived.
Zhang Wei said, "Watch closely, Gu Chen is about to litigate this case."
Zhang Fei said, "My idol is going to court, Master, do you think Gu Chen can win?"
Zhang Wei chuckled and said, "Let me tell you, never doubt Gu Chen’s abilities, Gu Chen never lost a case, hasn’t lost before, won’t lose in the future, you understand?"
"Even if I personally take on the case against Gu Chen, Gu Chen never loses, he wins every case, that’s the kind of lawyer we need to learn from."
Zhang Fei nodded, and immediately admired Gu Chen even more.
Everyone thinks Gu Chen might lose this case, only Zhang Wei and Zhang Fei have confidence in Gu Chen.
