Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 414 - 384: The Trial Begins!

Lawyer Gu glanced at the system.

The system interface did not provide any evidence.

In this case, strictly speaking, the system is of no help.

Because this is a defense case, and the evidence is clear.

Sun Yuxuan injured someone, breaking Liu Ting’s legs with a stick.

In the first trial, Sun Yuxuan was sentenced to life imprisonment. Now, Gu Chen must help Sun Yuxuan with a reduced sentence defense.

Gu Chen and Xue Qingqing went into the detention center and met Sun Yuxuan.

After chatting for a while, Gu Chen learned a bit more about the situation.

Gu Chen asked, "Why break Liu Ting’s legs?"

Sun Yuxuan said, "Lawyer Gu, I had no choice. My dad passed away just because there wasn’t money for surgery, but I clearly had money! All my money was frozen, and I couldn’t withdraw a single cent. The court forced it, transferring all my money to Wang Ru, but why? Why did Liu Ting judge it this way? She caused my dad’s death. I don’t care if I go to jail for breaking her legs."

"Lawyer Gu, I can’t let such a person get away with it! Why did Liu Ting pass such a judgment? Clearly, Wang Ru was the one who cheated, but all my assets were ruled in her favor. Is that fair? Why!"

Gu Chen nodded, "Do you regret it?"

Sun Yuxuan said, "Lawyer Gu, I don’t regret it. I know very well what I want to do. I knew breaking her legs would land me in jail, so I turned myself in. I’m a man, and a man should do what needs to be done. Wang Ru cheated, but I don’t mind. Her affairs were her choice, and divorce was fine. I wouldn’t do anything to her just because she cheated. I don’t care about women; I can always find another one after a divorce."

"But my dad is gone, because of Liu Ting!"

"So, I had to do something."

"If I killed Liu Ting, I’d die as well, and then no one could take care of my mom."

"Besides, it’d be too easy on Liu Ting."

"By breaking her legs, her future is hers to bear with the compound fractures."

"Not only that, I can’t afford to compensate her because all my money was ruled in Wang Ru’s favor by Liu Ting, serves her right!"

"I can’t die; I need to be out to take care of my mom. I wouldn’t risk my life for someone like Wang Ru. If she wants to cheat, let her. What does that have to do with me? Once I leave prison, I can take care of my mom, and I won’t care about anything after she’s gone."

Sun Yuxuan remained somewhat agitated.

He indeed thought about how Liu Ting destroyed everything of his.

If it hadn’t been for his mother...

That day, when Sun Yuxuan went to Liu Ting’s house, it wouldn’t have been just a stick.

Gu Chen said, "Sun Yuxuan, I understand your situation. Let me ask you; the court sentenced you to life in the first trial. Do you want to get out sooner?"

Sun Yuxuan looked at Gu Chen, aware he was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Life imprisonment essentially means starting with twenty years in prison.

Even if the sentence is reduced, it’d still be a very long time.

By the time he really gets out, his mother... might no longer be in this world.

This was something Sun Yuxuan couldn’t accept.

He didn’t expect such heavy sentencing for what he did back then.

Sun Yuxuan said, "Lawyer Gu, of course, I want to get out early. I need to care for my mom and make money. She’s already 60, without a pension. I’m worried she’d have no income source to survive without me."

Gu Chen said, "Then you must cooperate with me. If in court you say you don’t regret it, or you don’t care, or that you’d still grab a knife... no one can help you."

Gu Chen was handling a sentence reduction defense. As long as he can help reduce Sun Yuxuan’s sentence, it would be a success.

Whether it’s for any reason, Sun Yuxuan breaking someone’s legs will result in a sentence.

Gu Chen said, "In court, you must express remorse, admit it was an impulsive act born out of intense anger and despair, and show a willingness to compensate, but you genuinely have no money to do so."

"Additionally, state any mental issues due to your father’s death, your wife’s infidelity, and someone showing you videos, causing you to act irrationally in rage."

"Then leave the rest to me, and don’t say anything else," said Gu Chen.

"Lawyer Gu, I understand. Thank you, Lawyer Gu. No matter the legal fees, once I’m out, I’ll find a way to repay it," Sun Yuxuan said.

.....

This case has hit the trending topics on Weibo.

The media also reported on this case.

After learning about it, netizens started posting.

Originally, many thought people would condemn Sun Yuxuan’s actions, as it’s a fact he broke someone’s legs.

Yet, many male netizens supported Sun Yuxuan, with even a small portion of female netizens backing him.

Only a portion of the T0 segment online expressed various outrageous opinions.

"This guy’s pitiful. I can only say, Liu Ting really had it coming. What wrong did Sun Yuxuan commit? Why transfer all his assets to Wang Ru?"

"The key issue is Liu Ting ruled his premarital assets to Wang Ru, and then blames Sun Yuxuan for coming after her? And blames him for not affording medical bills; he has no money! All was assigned to Wang Ru; what options does Sun Yuxuan have?"
