Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!

Chapter 68 Gloating over misfortune
Liu Jian was stunned. Looking at the eyes of the people around him, his heart skipped a beat.

Why are you all looking at me like that?!

The others didn't speak, they just watched him silently.

until
One of the more senior members couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up:

"What on earth are you thinking?!"

Food safety crimes.
Liu Jian really dares to say that!
First, food offenses encompass many different types of crimes.

but.
If the court really rules like this, within five days, the news of this case will reach the ears of everyone in the entire East!

Three people were murdered, but the court convicted them of food safety offenses?

What kind of court is so bizarre that a mentally ill person can serve as a judge?!
Therefore, even if some of the other party's actions are indeed related to this crime, it cannot be used to convict them of this crime.

"I'm just giving them a heads-up."

Liu Jian chuckled awkwardly and muttered, "So, what's your plan for the verdict?!"

Upon hearing this, the entire conference room fell silent once again.

Yes.

What will be the verdict for Sun Quan?
"First of all, the 'good Samaritan' claim is invalid; that kid is just talking nonsense!"

Zhang Bo suddenly spoke, his voice tinged with a slight headache.

He has now personally experienced what Zhao Yi, the presiding judge of the Intermediate People's Court in the previous case, felt.

They can turn black into white, and they have incredibly thick skin!

If the opposing defense lawyers weren't all like Sun Quan...
This guy could easily be called a litigious scoundrel!

No, he's even more shameless than a litigator!
At the very least, a shrew can't get the family of a deceased son to sign a letter of forgiveness for their lawyer.
"That's right, acts of heroism are not advisable and can be rejected."

The other judges nodded in agreement.

The defense lawyer forcibly erased the element of "acting bravely to help others" from the defendant's case.

When determining whether an act of bravery is meritorious, the element of suddenness is crucial; in Sun Quan's case, the element of suddenness is very ambiguous.

"We can ignore the situation at Suishan."

"Now, only intentional injury, manslaughter, and desecration of a corpse remain. These two charges will be given lenient sentences because of Zheng Mei's letter of forgiveness."

Zhang Bo remained completely calm at that moment.

He felt as if his abilities had been honed to a higher level by Xu Liang!
"A lenient sentence? How can it be a lenient sentence?"

Liu Jian frowned and asked.

Considering that the deceased was a human trafficker and that Sun Quan had done something to save the child, he should be given a lighter sentence for negligent homicide.

On the evening of August 13, Sun Quan opened the second door to the cellar.

From this perspective, the danger threatening the child was eliminated by Sun Quan!

The reason the police were able to take people away on August 14 was simply because there were two older children keeping the younger ones in check, and the younger ones were obedient and wouldn't leave.

To make matters worse when the sentence was already lenient
"probation!?"

The more senior judge suddenly spoke up in response.

"A three-year reprieve? That seems a bit inappropriate."

Zhang Bo also felt it was a bit inappropriate, but he only listed two offenses.

"There are two other points: intentional injury, and the most important one."

Zhang Bo's eyes flashed.

"Articles 114 and 115 of the Criminal Law: Crimes Endangering Public Safety!"

Upon hearing this, the people around him suddenly stopped and then nodded.

The crime of endangering public safety requires consideration of two aspects: the manner of the harm and the consequences.

If it is found to be a crime, the penalties are usually very severe!

However, Sun Quan's method
However, this does not necessarily constitute this crime, unless
"First, we need to verify the safety of those affected in Hongfu Subdistrict and understand their wishes."

In a daze, the judge spoke.

Sun Quan's actions do not necessarily constitute a crime of endangering public safety.

Unless the consequences of their actions, such as germs causing illness in many people, constitute a crime!
These are the only legitimate charges they can currently list.

Illegal distribution, or food-related crimes. To be honest, they don't want to be infamous for eternity.

"Okay, it's decided."

The judge took a deep breath and turned to look at Zhang Bo.

“Judge Zhang, although you are new here, you should know the verification process.”

I won't go on and on.

Hearing this, Zhang Bo nodded, "I will try my best to do it."

As for the impartiality of the evidence found during the investigation.
There's no need to worry about that.

Led by the court, and in cooperation with the police, procuratorate and judicial appraisal institutions!

"Okay, let's break up the meeting!"

The moment the judge finished speaking, everyone in the conference room breathed a sigh of relief. People started leaving in twos and threes.

Before leaving, the judge and others glared at Liu Jian.

Food safety crimes.
What a genius!

Liu Jian gave an awkward smile.

at the same time.

At the entrance of the court
Liu Xun, a top lawyer at Chengen Law Firm, walked unsteadily out of the courthouse.

He was a completely different person now than when he first entered.

When he first arrived, he was imposing and exuded an aura of certainty.

And now.
Like a sick cat whose spine has been removed, standing at the courthouse entrance, looking utterly bewildered.

who I am.
Where am I?
Where am I going?

Liu Xun's mind went blank until the court session ended and the court adjourned, and even when he got into his assistant's car and was taken back to Chengen Law Firm.
Liu Xun still had that blank expression.

"What's up with him?"

Inside the law firm.

Zhang Cheng, who had been in a slump for nearly a month, was stunned when he saw Liu Xun being helped in by his assistant.

"How"

Zhang Cheng frowned. "Like a sick cat?"

He and Liu Xun did not have a good relationship.

After all, the legal profession perfectly embodies the saying that colleagues are often rivals!

Snatching orders or clients is a common occurrence, and even though law firms strictly prohibit it, some people still do it.

The two of them had snatched each other's things; they weren't exactly enemies, but there was definitely some resentment between them!

In the past, things were alright; although they were at odds, they were evenly matched.

But this balance was broken two weeks ago.
He took on a case that seemed like a sure win.

The first trial even exceeded his expectations, sentencing him to death instead of the originally anticipated fifteen years or more.

I thought it was a sure thing.

but.
In the second trial, the opposing lawyer presented him with a 'mental evaluation report' that left him completely bewildered!
Zhang Cheng completely lost his composure.
Back at the law firm, Liu Xun naturally had to give him a good thrashing.

even
He even got his own client arrested by the opposing lawyer!

Zhang Cheng hadn't even received his commission when the court prioritized distributing the embezzled funds to Chen Dong's family.
Nearly two months have passed.

Zhang Cheng was also listless and would often sit in a chair in a daze.

"what?"

Hearing the noise, Liu Xun's assistant wiped the sweat from his brow and looked up, saying:
"My master's case has run into some problems."

"Something went wrong?"

Zhang Cheng was taken aback, then frowned.

"What problems could possibly arise with his case?"

He had heard of the Sun Quan case. It was such a high-profile case that few qualified people would refuse to take it on.

Zhang Cheng is just lacking in ambition; otherwise, he would have wanted to compete.

after all.

The person on trial killed three people.

No matter how you look at it, you can't find any way to lose; even a novice lawyer would be guaranteed to win.

"That lawyer across the street."

After hesitating for a long time, the assistant finally spoke:

"Litigation scoundrel."

"That's just a litigator!"

A litigator?

Isn't this just the same excuse that people who have never handled a case?
Zhang Cheng stroked his chin and asked curiously:
"Who is that lawyer?"

"Do you know Attorney Zhang?" the assistant asked cautiously. "The one who handled your case last time."

The previous lawsuit?

That is, Xu Liang!?
Zhang Cheng was taken aback.

Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow and his eyes gleamed.

That bastard ran into that grandson!

Zhang Cheng was overjoyed in an instant. The pent-up frustration of the past two months vanished. Pointing at the dazed Liu Xun, he couldn't help but laugh gleefully:

"Do you still like cases that are sure to win!?"
