Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 459 - 409: Gu Chen Prepares to Act! Who Cares What the Defendant Says?
This case, no matter which lawyer you find, there’s no way out.
Li Peng truly understands that he has committed a crime...
The animals he raised are indeed national endangered species, which constitutes a crime.
After realizing his crime, he no longer thinks about resisting.
Confession leads to leniency, resistance leads to severity — this is something he knows.
But now... facing heavier penalties, Li Peng is still a bit uneasy.
The judge asked Gu Chen to speak.
However, before Gu Chen could open his mouth, Li Peng took the initiative to speak.
Li Peng said, "Judge, I have fully recognized my mistakes. I plead guilty. I’m not unaware of my errors. I chose to appeal because my parents wanted me to try again, but I know I’ve already made a mistake. I indeed should not have raised and purchased endangered species. I have indeed committed a crime."
"It’s just that I really didn’t harm these parrots. I would feed them every day. I didn’t do it on purpose. I request the judge not to impose heavier penalties on me. I have deeply understood my errors, and I am willing to accept any punishment the court administers."
Li Peng finished speaking.
After Li Peng finished, everyone was somewhat speechless.
No, Judge Gong Yuqing was asking Gu Chen to speak.
And Li Peng just interrupted?
Li Peng didn’t even let Gu Chen defend him.
Li Peng showed a face of wanting to plead guilty, unwilling to have any unexpected complications.
He thinks that as long as he’s sentenced to five years, it’s already a win.
Once the lawyer starts defending, if he’s labeled as dissatisfied with the judgment and appeals, he might end up with heavier penalties.
Li Peng doesn’t want to be punished.
He still wants to get out early and enjoy life.
Can Gu Chen, just a lawyer, really change his fate?
His case is bound to be sentenced to at least five years, it’s the legal stipulation.
No one can help it.
No matter how skilled Gu Chen is, he absolutely can’t help him reduce his sentence.
Li Peng just hopes Gu Chen doesn’t drag him down.
If Gu Chen drags him down, wouldn’t he be doomed?
Upon hearing what Li Peng said.
Gu Chen didn’t speak.
Xia Ranran: "???"
Gao Yong: "No, what is Li Peng doing?"
Xue Qingqing was also anxious, "Li Peng, don’t directly plead guilty. Let the boss try to defend. I feel the boss definitely has confidence, but this Li Peng is not cooperating at all, insisting on pleading guilty. Can’t you plead guilty a bit later? I really don’t know what Li Peng is thinking. Anyway, I’m a bit speechless."
Du Jingguang, however, was quite pleased.
This time he was genuinely comfortable.
Because Gu Chen is definitely done for this time.
No one could help Gu Chen.
The party is admitting guilt in every way; who can help with this case?
The party has voluntarily pleaded guilty...
Could Gu Chen possibly win the case?
Du Jingguang felt this case is absolutely secure!
He was at the scene, watching, waiting for Gu Chen to lose this case.
Then, the media’s news reports would immediately be released, and Gu Chen’s reputation would directly drop, so there wouldn’t be anything to worry about.
Li Peng said, "Judge, I truly have pleaded guilty, just pass the sentence."
Upon hearing Li Peng’s words, Du Jingguang’s mouth was smiling broadly.
This time he was genuinely comfortable.
Gu Chen is doomed!
No one could help Gu Chen.
Gu Chen, having chosen this client for the case, isn’t working out.
[Ugh, that’s it, Li Peng really frustrates me.]
[Insisting on pleading guilty, huh?]
[How can there be such a person? Not letting Lawyer Gu utter a word, without Lawyer Gu speaking, how can he defend Li Peng?]
[Li Peng really looks like he wants to go in, so go in. Lawyer Gu shouldn’t take this case.]
[This case is truly dull, saying Li Peng is mentally ill, I still believe it. Li Peng just pleads guilty in court; truly speechless, never seen such a person.]
[Now even Lawless Madman can’t save Li Peng; just let Li Peng go to jail.]
Everyone was disappointed.
If we talk about the last case of Li Long, Li Long also pleaded guilty in every way.
But Li Long was different; he truly was a mental patient.
Though netizens were speechless, they wouldn’t blame a mental patient.
But is Li Peng a mental patient?
Obviously a university graduate, with a lawyer helping him in court, yet insists on sabotaging?
He’s about to face jail time.
Many netizens feel it’s not worth it for Gu Chen.
Gu Chen is so proficient at litigations, yet every client he encounters is peculiar.
The prosecutor spoke, "There’s no need to say more now. The party has already pleaded guilty. Judge, I believe this case can be directly sentenced. There was no issue with the first trial. If Li Peng has already pleaded guilty, maintaining the first trial’s verdict is also appropriate."
The prosecutor doesn’t care about these subtleties.
This case itself has Li Peng committing a crime.
Li Peng has now also pleaded guilty, so let’s proceed with official matters; what’s wrong with that?
Official matters, Li Peng’s going in is his own business.
He’s not bothered by these details.
Anyway, Li Peng has admitted all guilt.
Li Peng’s father, Li Zhongnan, was speechless.
Li Zhongnan said, "No, what’s this brat doing?"
Zhang Yaru also said, "Is there really no solution now? If this continues, our son will definitely be sentenced."
Li Zhongnan said, "There’s no solution. Li Peng insists on pleading guilty. Who can help him? We paid five hundred thousand in lawyer fees; it’s impossible to refund it."
This lawsuit, even if Gu Chen doesn’t say anything, we certainly can’t get a refund because it’s our son causing chaos in court, and he doesn’t give Gu Chen a chance to speak.
Zhang Yaru was anxious and disappointed.
They spent fifty thousand!
They spent fifty thousand to hire the best lawyer, Gu Chen...
And his son didn’t cherish it at all, nor give Gu Chen a chance to speak, which is truly excessive.
This fifty thousand was spent in vain, and they couldn’t find a fault with Gu Chen.
Even if the case loses, so what?
Ultimately, their son will still serve five years in jail.
Zhang Yaru said, "Is there really no way at all?"
Li Zhongnan sighed, "I can only hope Lawyer Gu doesn’t mind Li Peng. Li Peng doesn’t understand anything. Now we can only rely on Lawyer Gu."
Zhang Yaru whispered, "Didn’t you notice? Gu Chen hasn’t spoken at all so far; perhaps he’s angry too."
Li Zhongnan shook his head helplessly, "Then there’s no way. We’ve spent on lawyer fees, and Li Peng will still end up with a five-year sentence, and no one can help."
Zhang Yaru was slightly despairing.
Zhang Yaru looked for help towards Gu Chen.
But Gu Chen didn’t react at all.
From the start of the trial until now, Gu Chen hasn’t spoken.
Mostly, it’s the judge, prosecutor talking.
And Li Peng pleading guilty...
Li Peng’s frantic guilty plea left netizens speechless.
Why bother with the lawsuit?
[Done, Lawyer Gu isn’t speaking anymore; I reckon Lawyer Gu is actually angry.]
[Who would’ve thought there’d be an ally like Li Peng, truly holding back Lawyer Gu, no winning this case.]
[This is purely a hindering ally, who could possibly help Li Peng?]
[That’s it, this case ends here.]
[Lawyer Gu isn’t speaking, and Li Peng pleaded guilty, how can Lawyer Gu defend?]
[It’s over, sigh...]
Netizens were posting comments.
Du Jingguang was even happier seeing Gu Chen not speaking.
Du Jingguang said, "Okay, okay, now Gu Chen is really done, nothing further; Gu Chen, just wait."
Netizens were also helpless.
Gu Chen hasn’t spoken up till now; surely, he’s angry.
Zhang Yaru said, "I hope Lawyer Gu doesn’t mind our son...please fight the case for us."
Li Zhongnan also said, "Now we can only rely on Lawyer Gu. If Lawyer Gu can’t think of a solution, then there really is no way."
