Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 339 - 338: The Elderly Deserve the Death Penalty Too! Equality Before the Law!

Chapter 339: Chapter 338: The Elderly Deserve the Death Penalty Too! Equality Before the Law!

At this time, the authorities also issued a punishment notice for the driver.

[Driver Li Xiaofeng, after picking up passenger Xia Ling, chose a route different from the navigation to detour. In the middle of the journey, he dropped off the passenger in the wilderness to privately take another fare, putting Xia Ling in a dangerous situation. However, the driver was not involved in an abduction nor conspired beforehand, and does not bear criminal responsibility.

Driver Li Xiaofeng abandoned his passenger midway and deliberately detoured. According to the "Qingchuan City Passenger Taxi Management Regulations," a fine of 2000 yuan is imposed on driver Li Xiaofeng. It was discovered that Li Xiaofeng repeatedly violated regulations, caused malicious effects, charged exorbitant taxi fares during bad weather, often detoured after picking up passengers at night, and ran red lights in areas without surveillance multiple times. His driver’s license and professional qualification certificate are now revoked, and he is permanently banned from engaging in taxi operations.]

Taxi driver Li Xiaofeng has received legal punishment!

The police also investigated and found no connection between the taxi driver and the kidnappers.

Therefore, the driver is not criminally liable.

At the same time...

There are five minutes left before the court hearing begins!

[Here we go, finally time for the court’s verdict!]

[Two days have felt like a lifetime while waiting!]

[This is the Lawless Madman, sending an entire village to jail!!]

[Chen Hao, Chen Rui, Chen Ge, Li Guipeng, Duan Hailong, and those involved in the kidnapping case, none should escape!]

[It’s a pity the taxi driver didn’t end up there, but having his license and qualification revoked is a relief, it’s about time to discipline such taxi drivers!]

Viewers in the livestream were all eagerly posting comments, waiting for the court session to begin!

Five minutes quickly passed.

The court session begins!

Final judgment is underway!

Presiding Judge Lin Fan stood up.

"Distinguished participants in this lawsuit:

This court will now issue a verdict on this case.

After the court’s investigation, presentation of evidence, and debate, this court has a clear understanding of the facts in this case.

In this case, the three kidnappers in the van, Jia Anzhi, Meng Rui Ming, and Song Caiyi, kidnapped Xia Ling. It was discovered they have been involved in sixty abduction cases in six years, with serious consequences, resulting in the deaths of multiple victims. The three are found guilty of abduction, causing death by negligence, with multiple offenses punished as one. They are sentenced to compensate victims a total of 1,203,489 yuan, and are sentenced to death, with deprivation of political rights for life.

Xia Ling was kidnapped to Xiaojing Village, where Chen Hao’s family paid traffickers ten thousand yuan. Chen Hao repeatedly raped, assaulted, and restricted Xia Ling’s freedom, committing rape, abduction, illegal detention, abuse, and purchasing trafficked women offenses, according to Articles 239, 236, and 238 of the Criminal Law. Chen Hao is sentenced to death, with deprivation of political rights for life, and must compensate Xia Ling for psychological damage, medical expenses, and other damages, totaling 288,212 yuan.

Chen Rui and Chen Ge, although not directly involved in the rape, facilitated it, creating conditions for Chen Hao’s crime, and bear the same criminal responsibility as the rapist. Chen Rui and Chen Ge aggravated the situation by participating in disorderly gatherings, abductions, illegal detentions, and assaults; severely malicious conduct without repentance, a heavy sentence is imposed. They are sentenced to death, with deprivation of political rights for life, jointly compensating Xia Ling along with Chen Hao, totaling 288,212 yuan, and all personal assets are confiscated.

Presiding Judge Lin Fan, upon these declarations.

The viewers in the livestream became incredibly excited.

[Good, good, the death penalty!]

[All sentenced to death!]

[Lawyer Gu is amazing, and so is Lawyer Zhang Fei!]

[Originally, the Lawless Madman only got Chen Rui and Chen Ge life imprisonment, but when Lawyer Zhang Fei intervened, he turned it into a death sentence!]

[This is Zhang Fei’s golden touch? Amazing! Well sentenced!]

Seeing Chen Rui and Chen Ge sentenced to death, Zhang Fei felt very satisfied.

Because Zhang Fei, throughout his career, had never completely fulfilled a client’s request.

Zhang Fei didn’t really care anymore, as long as he could make progress, it was good if he could grow through the process of litigating.

Consider this, originally it was life imprisonment, but now through his maneuvers, it has been changed directly to the death penalty.

This is progress! This is growth!

And it cannot be said that he completely failed to achieve Chen Rui and Chen Ge’s requests.

Their requests were [to leave prison early, to have a chance at redemption and to start anew].

Zhang Fei pondered that if it were life imprisonment, wouldn’t they spend decades in prison?

By changing it to the death penalty, they could leave the prison soon and start anew, just in a different way!

This still fulfilled the client’s litigation request!

Moreover, the clients didn’t leave negative reviews.

Zhang Fei felt the case was handled perfectly.

Chen Rui, Chen Ge, and Chen Hao were already scared out of their wits, faces pale, bodies trembling.

It’s over... it’s all over... completely finished.

The death penalty... they were all sentenced to death!

Chen Hao felt pained, didn’t he just cause Xia Ling a small, insignificant harm? Was the death penalty really necessary?

Presiding Judge Lin Fan continued.

"Duan Hailong committed abduction for six years, guilty of rape, forced Xue Yaoyao to bear three children, involved in illegal detention, leaving the victim in a miserable state in an adverse environment for six years, causing immense suffering and psychological trauma. Duan Hailong violently assaulted, abused, and humiliated the victim, leading to severe mental illness."

"According to Articles 239, 236, and 238 of the Criminal Law, Duan Hailong is sentenced to compensate Xue Yaoyao for medical expenses and mental damage totaling 1,234,812 yuan, sentenced to death, with deprivation of political rights for life, and all personal assets confiscated."

The death penalty!!

Duan Hailong was also sentenced to death!

Upon seeing his death sentence, Duan Hailong was somewhat bewildered.

No, was he really given the death penalty?

He was sixty years old!

Could they really sentence a sixty-year-old man to death?

Gu Chen said he should get the death penalty, and now he truly was sentenced to it?

Duan Hailong spoke: "I am sixty years old, shouldn’t you treat the elderly kindly, how could you sentence me to death? I’m going to file a complaint! Now, your presiding judge should apologize to me, and Gu Chen should also apologize, let me be released without charges, then I’ll forgive you, otherwise, I’ll report you!"

Presiding Judge Lin Fan coldly glanced at Duan Hailong, didn’t he understand the situation now?

Lin Fan: "The law does not exempt sixty-year-olds from criminal responsibility. Elders under seventy-five years old, after committing an offense, bear the same criminal responsibility. According to Article 17 of the Criminal Law, elders over seventy-five years with deliberate crimes are still accountable, though age might cause leniency, but age is no excuse for a crime, nor a reason for evading responsibility, whether you are eighty or ninety, breaking the law still means criminal responsibility!"

"Before the law, everyone is equal!"

"Age should not be an excuse or reason for anyone’s crime!"

"This iron rule is rock solid. Age is no pretext or excuse for unlawful actions. No matter the age, the line of the law cannot be crossed, nor should one deliberately break it."

"Law is the cornerstone of social order, the protector of fairness and justice. It does not favor age, nor does it back down for special status!"

"Seniors, with wisdom and experience, should lead the younger ones to comply with laws and regulations, not break them under the pretense of age!"
