"shut up!"

Du Zishan roared excitedly.

"You are not qualified to call me uncle. I will never forgive you. I will make you buried with my son, buried with him!" Du Zishan roared madly.

Li Niechu, tears still streaming down her face, said sincerely, "Uncle Du, whether you forgive me or not, I have to say sorry."

A small number of people in the audience couldn't help but feel soft-hearted when they saw Li Niechu expressing his true feelings.

After all, he is still a child, and perhaps the death penalty is really too harsh for him.

There was a hint of sarcasm on Zhang Hao's lips. He didn't believe even a single symbol on the watch that Li Nie said.

In his opinion, Li Niechu's current behavior was nothing more than crocodile tears.

Will a person who brazenly says that he is a minor in a detention center know how to admit his mistake?

Even if he admitted his mistake, it was not because he repented, but because he was afraid of death.

As long as he is not sentenced to death, but imprisoned for a few years and then released, it won't take long for him to grow into a solid state and pose a threat to ordinary people.

Han Guangming said from the side: "Your Honor, you have seen that my client has already repented."

"He's just a child. Why can't you give him a chance? Let him start a new life."

Zhang Hao snorted coldly: "If his repentance can bring the victim back to life, then we can accept his apology, but can we?"

Han Guangming said, "Will shooting him bring the victim back to life? If not, why not give him a chance?"

Zhang Hao said, "Really? If I kill your entire family now and then tell you I'm sorry and that I'm truly repentant, will you forgive me? Without the execution?"

Lin Haobo knocked the gavel and said, "Prosecutor, please be careful with your words and actions. Your hypothesis may sound like a personal attack."

"Prosecutor, you may now make your closing statement."

Zhang Hao said solemnly, "Respected presiding judge, the defendant's behavior is extremely egregious and has had a profound impact on society. To prevent more people from following suit, I implore the presiding judge and the jurors to impose a severe sentence on him as a warning to others."

"Defendant's lawyer, you may speak now," said Lin Haobo.

Han Guangming said, "Your Honor, although the defendant's behavior is serious, he is a minor and has shown remorse, so he should be given a lighter sentence."

Lin Haobo nodded and said, "The court is temporarily adjourned and will resume in thirty minutes."

Zhang Hao knew the reason for the adjournment, which was that Lin Haobo was going to discuss with several jurors how to sentence him.

Zhang Hao and Ji Jianshe returned to the lounge.

Ji Jianshe picked up the water cup and said to Zhang Hao, "Zhang Hao, you did a very good job in this trial. You didn't act like a new prosecutor at all. Even some veteran prosecutors who have been in the job for four or five years might not be as good as you."

Zhang Hao said, "Teacher Ji, I still have a lot to learn."

Ji Jianshe said, "That's right. For example, you shouldn't have hit Han Guangming in court just now. If you run into a judge with a bad temper, he'll probably kick you out of the courtroom."

Zhang Hao chuckled and said, "Teacher Ji, what you said is true. I will try my best to change it. By the way, Teacher Ji, what do you think the presiding judge will rule?"

Ji Jianshe thought for a moment and said, "Han Guangming's performance in court just now was not satisfactory, so as the principal offender, Li Niechu will most likely be sentenced to death."

"As for Jiang Yi, who was an accomplice, he should be deprived of his political rights for life and then sentenced to life imprisonment."

To be honest, Zhang Hao is not very satisfied with this life sentence.

According to the law, it is a life sentence, but in reality, after a mess of sentence reductions, he can be released from prison in 30 years at most.

Jiang Yi is only fourteen years old now.

When he was released thirty years later, he was only forty-four years old and still capable of committing crimes, so it would be best to sentence him to death.

It’s a pity that I’m just a prosecutor and have no way to influence the trial outcome.

Zhang Hao suddenly thought of a possibility and said, "Teacher Ji, is there a possibility that Han Guangming bribed Lin Haobo to get a lighter punishment?"

It’s no wonder Zhang Hao thinks so.

Before the trial, Han Guangming looked very confident, but judging from his performance during the trial, he was unable to do so.

Unless it is said that Lin Haobo was bribed.

Ji Jianshe thought for a moment and shook his head: "Probably not."

As an experienced prosecutor who has been in the profession for almost 30 years, although he talks about judicial justice.

But he knew very well that there was no such thing as justice. Some defendants would often bribe the judges to give them lenient sentences during the trial.

But that shouldn't happen this time.

Perhaps Han Guangming wanted to bribe Lin Haobo, but Lin Haobo would not have the courage to accept the money.

The reason is very simple. Countless people across the country are watching this case, and even many people at the top are paying attention to it.

If anyone dares to accept bribes and receive a lighter punishment, he is courting death.

Although no bribery was found when Lin Haobo was investigated in his previous life, many things have changed since his rebirth.

Who knows if it will affect Lin Haobo and cause him to change.

So he said, "Teacher Ji, I'm going to the bathroom."

"Go quickly and come back quickly, don't delay the verdict." Ji Jianshe reminded.

"Yeah!" Zhang Hao responded and walked out of the lounge.

After leaving the lounge, he did not go to the bathroom, but walked to the door of Han Guangming's lounge, lay on the door, and prepared to listen to see if he could hear any news.

……

Thirty minutes passed in a flash.

After Zhang Hao and Ji Jianshe entered the courtroom, Han Guangming also walked over from behind. When he saw Zhang Hao, there was a hint of provocation in his eyes.

Zhang Hao gave Han Guangming the middle finger.

Lin Haobo looked at the two people's private actions with a frown on his face. These two people were too presumptuous to do such a thing in court.

However, considering that the verdict was about to be announced, he chose to turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it, then nodded to the clerk beside him.

The clerk stood up and said, "Everyone, please stand. The verdict will be announced now!"

Everyone in the gallery stood up. They had waited so long just for this moment.

Li Niechu and Jiang Yi, standing in the dock, had panic and tension written all over their faces. They held the railings tightly with both hands, waiting for the final trial.

Lin Haobo said, "I will now begin the sentencing. The defendants Li Niechu and Jiang Yi are suspected of intentionally killing the victim Du Lingtian. Their methods were cruel and their actions were brutal. They deserve the death penalty. However, considering that they are under the age of eighteen, according to Chinese law, minors do not bear criminal responsibility. Therefore, this court sentences the defendants Li Niechu and Jiang Yi..."
