Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 437 - 398: Gu Chen Takes Action, Defends in Court!

Chapter 437: Chapter 398: Gu Chen Takes Action, Defends in Court!

On this day, there wasn’t an empty seat in the gallery.

Major media outlets, news agencies, and journalists had all come to the courtroom.

This case was open for public trial.

Li Long stood in the defendant’s dock.

Li Long’s father, Li Haoran, also came to the scene.

The expressions of the online viewers were somewhat tense.

In this trial, everyone supported Li Long.

Everyone hoped that the court would give a lenient sentence to Li Long, even if it was life imprisonment, as long as it wasn’t the death penalty, the viewers could accept it.

However, everyone also knew that commuting a death penalty to life imprisonment was almost impossible.

This case was directly prosecuted by the prosecutor’s office.

The public prosecutor had already arrived at the scene.

This case was a criminal case, and the atmosphere on site was quite heavy.

Gu Chen sat at the defense table for the defendant, waiting for the trial to officially start.

There were five minutes left before the trial.

Gao Yong, Xia Ranran, and Young Master Xue were also following this trial.

Many lawyers from firms, many professionals from the industry, were watching how Gu Chen would handle this impossible-to-win case.

No matter which star lawyer took on this case, there was no confidence.

Could Gu Chen... win?

Xue Qingqing was also in the gallery. Today she could only watch Gu Chen fight this case and offer no assistance.

"Boss, good luck..." Xue Qingqing said.

Many netizens were posting.

[Go Lawyer Gu!]

[Is the Lawless Madman going to fight an impossible-to-win case?]

[This case really cannot be won. No matter who comes, it won’t matter. I’ll say nothing else; if Li Long’s sentence can be reduced from death to life imprisonment, it would already be a miracle.]

[No matter how capable the lawyer is, Li Long cannot be saved.]

[Is Li Long really going to be sentenced to death?]

[If Lawyer Gu can really change the sentence to life imprisonment, I’ll definitely hire Lawyer Gu in the future!]

[Me too!! I’ll also hire Lawyer Gu!]

[I don’t know if you’ve been following a case recently, where a man found his wife cheating, confronted her at her workplace, got humiliated, and then jumped off the building to commit suicide...]

[Ah... I’ve been following that case too. How can one case be unresolved while another one comes along?]

[Let’s not talk about it anymore; the trial is about to start.]

The clerk stood up.

"All rise!"

Everyone in the courtroom stood up.

"Now, let’s welcome the presiding judge and judges into the court."

Under everyone’s gaze.

Presiding Judge Xu Yang, Judge Zhao Yun, Judge Wang Fei all entered.

"You may be seated," the clerk’s voice sounded.

Everyone sat down.

Presiding Judge Xu Yang banged the gavel.

"I now declare the trial open!"

For a moment, everyone’s attention was focused.

Presiding Judge Xu Yang began, "This case is being heard by the Kyoto District Court. Li Long killed Lu Jun, Lu Wang, and Lu Daniu in Yun Family Village, all of whom died on the spot. The first trial sentenced Li Long to death, with the deprivation of political rights for life. The defendant Li Long is dissatisfied with the judgment and has appealed to this court."

At this moment, the public prosecutor Wang Qing spoke up, "Your Honor, the defendant Li Long’s crime is of an egregious nature, and the circumstances are severe. The malicious killing of three people constitutes intentional homicide."

"This is what happened. On the night of October 5, Li Long went to Lu Hai’s house, where he killed Lu Jun and Lu Wang on the spot. After Lu Daniu discovered it, he chose to run away, during which he was chased and killed by Li Long."

"Li Long, armed with a knife, did not kill Lu Hai after killing the three. Upon leaving the gate, dissatisfied, Li Long set fire to a car belonging to Lu Jun, destroying most of it."

"After the incident, Li Long fled. The police investigated immediately and, upon discovering Li Long as the perpetrator, gave chase."

"Li Long fled using small paths, and the police pursued continuously for an entire day and night."

"On October 7, at 9 a.m., Li Long surrendered himself at the local police station, confessing everything."

"Fifteen years ago, Li Long and his mother were often bullied and beaten by Lu Hai’s family in the village."

"Li Long’s family and Lu Hai’s family were neighbors, and there were frequent conflicts between the two."

"As a result, one day after Li Long’s mother returned from grocery shopping, she encountered Lu Jun, Lu Wang, and Lu Daniu on the road, and a conflict arose."

"Subsequently, the three beat and humiliated Li Long’s mother."

"Li Long’s mother protected Li Long, suffered severe head injuries from the three, and died in the hospital."

"After the incident, Lu Jun, Lu Wang, and Lu Daniu chose to turn themselves in."

"For certain special reasons (unspeakable)."

"The three were legally sentenced to seven, six, and five years in prison, respectively."

"The legal procedures had no issues."

Public prosecutor Wang Qing continued, "Fifteen years have passed. On October 4, after Li Long returned home and saw people in the neighbor’s house, he had thoughts of revenge."

"So, Li Long bought the tools for the crime and carefully planned it."

"In the end, Li Long gave all his property to his father, Li Haoran."

"Then on a dark and windy night, Li Long killed the three."

"Li Long’s plight, although it evokes sympathy, the law is merciless."

"What Li Long did ruined a happy family and deprived three innocent lives."

"Li Long’s motive was clear, his methods decisive, and he killed three people without hesitation, as well as destroyed private property."
