Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 389 - 371: The Second Trial Is Coming! Zhao Sisi Can’t Escape
After the first trial ended.
Zhao Sisi expressed dissatisfaction with the verdict and prepared to appeal for a second trial.
Du Jinglin did not file an appeal.
The media interviewed Gu Chen.
Gu Chen stated that he would still attend the second trial.
The entire internet was waiting for the second trial to commence, hoping the verdict would not change.
Gu Chen knew that the second trial was essentially just a procedural step.
In this case, all the evidence had already been fully unlocked...
No matter how capable a lawyer Zhao Sisi hired, the verdict of the second trial would not change.
If it’s a death sentence, it remains a death sentence; at most, some civil compensations might change...
However, it was still necessary to attend trial to see the situation.
As for Wang Haodong’s case, it had nothing to do with Gu Chen either.
Wang Haodong, being a doctor, forged a mental illness certificate himself, coupled with all the news that surfaced, it was only normal for Wang Haodong to be sentenced.
Gu Chen had just returned to the law firm, initially intending to take a good rest.
But Gu Chen realized that rest was impossible.
Several more cases had arrived at the law firm, all wanting Gu Chen to represent them in court.
Yan Yuting had already recommended other lawyers at the firm to these people.
But those people were unwilling to hire other lawyers and only wanted Gu Chen...
Gu Chen, now the owner of the law firm, made more money resting and doing a few live streams than going to court.
However, as a lawyer, Gu Chen still wanted to engage in legal work and go to court...
When approached, Gu Chen would assess the situation and take on the case.
"This case...."
"A boy followed a cycling team and fell, only to be run over and killed by a passing driver."
"The driver was forced to kneel and apologize, got slapped, and was ultimately sued for manslaughter? Have one of our firm’s lawyers handle it; I won’t take this case," said Gu Chen.
Because for this kind of case, it doesn’t matter who handles it.
The evidence is clear; there’s surveillance footage, dashcam recordings, and a full account of the incident’s cause and process.
Any competent lawyer can help with the defense.
For cases that the firm’s lawyers can handle, Gu Chen will let other lawyers take over.
If all the cases were to be handled by him, he wouldn’t finish even with 24 hours of work.
Gu Chen filtered through many cases.
He assigned a number of them to the company’s lawyers for defense.
Only when it came to tough cases would Gu Chen step in, and even if many people insisted on having him, he wouldn’t necessarily take the case.
"Boss, there’s a new case. This happened yesterday, and the victim’s family has come to us, wanting our firm to represent her son," said Xue Qingqing.
"What case?" Gu Chen asked.
"Boss, see for yourself, I’ve already summarized it," Xue Qingqing sighed and said.
Gu Chen glanced at what Xue Qingqing had organized.
A traffic accident occurred yesterday.
Traffic accidents happen every day, and it’s not surprising.
An 18-year-old college student named Wang Yimeng was hit by a car.
When the medical staff arrived, Wang Yimeng was already dead.
The female driver was named Li Xiaoxin.
The incident took place on Changfeng West Street.
Changfeng West Street generally has little traffic, and there’s no surveillance camera at the intersection.
After the incident, Li Xiaoxin appeared indifferent, letting insurance handle everything.
When the police arrived, Li Xiaoxin claimed she was driving normally, and it was Wang Yimeng running a red light on his e-bike that caused the traffic accident.
Li Xiaoxin also said it was entirely Wang Yimeng’s fault.
It was her newly bought second-hand car, and now she had to report it to insurance for repairs. Because of Wang Yimeng’s red light violation, her car got into an accident, and even next year’s insurance premium would increase.
Li Xiaoxin refused to take any responsibility and demanded compensation from Wang Yimeng’s family for the damage to her car.
The police investigated the scene.
However, due to the heavy rain yesterday, by the time the police arrived, the scene’s evidence had been damaged.
Though it was a traffic light intersection, there was no surveillance.
The police checked Li Xiaoxin’s car’s dashcam...but since she had just bought a second-hand car, and it was an old model, she would have to purchase and install one herself...
Li Xiaoxin’s car hadn’t been fitted with a dashcam when the accident occurred.
Wang Yimeng died.
Li Xiaoxin maintained that it was Wang Yimeng who ran the red light, refusing to compensate.
The police couldn’t easily issue a responsibility letter; the case was still under investigation.
Li Xiaoxin was detained...
Yet, right after Li Xiaoxin was detained, her lawyer arrived to request bail. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Li Xiaoxin insisted that it was Wang Yimeng’s running of the red light that caused the accident.
However, there was no evidence to prove Wang Yimeng ran the red light.
Most of the scene’s markings had been washed away.
Only a small portion remained... Li Xiaoxin apparently braked after the incident, as the ground showed brake marks.
Based on the collision markings, angle, and degree of deformation, the police judged that Li Xiaoxin wasn’t speeding at the time.
The vehicle’s braking system was normal, and there were clear brake marks on-site.
And according to Li Xiaoxin, there were no other vehicles present at the scene.
The police could not confirm that Wang Yimeng indeed ran a red light....
As it was raining at the scene, most evidence disappeared.
