Chapter 1085

The case officially opened.

Shangguan Wanwan, the suspect's defense lawyer, and Gu Yuzhi, a lawyer entrusted by the family of the deceased, had an back-and-forth debate with the prosecutor.

At the beginning, the prosecutor's side was full of momentum.

Photos of blood splattered at the crime scene, neighbors' identification of the crime scene, and the conclusions of the forensic medical examination and knife fingerprint identification, all the murder evidence points to Li Meilian.

"Justifiable defense is not established, because there is no direct evidence whether the deceased Yang had the intention of infringing. Although Li's body was wounded, her daughter was not. The existing evidence only shows that Li and Yang were in a dispute and scuffle, and stabbed three times in a row. The knife, beyond the level of ordinary resistance, is very likely to have murderous intentions, but considering that Li's body is thin and Yang's body is strong, it is difficult for her to foresee that she has the ability to kill people, so it is determined that she was negligent. Intent to die, this case is most appropriately classified as manslaughter."

The reduction from intentional homicide to manslaughter is already the most lenient determination given by the prosecutor based on the existing evidence.

This is also consistent with the judgment of Gu Yuzhi's colleagues at the law firm.

Gu Yuzhi closed the case file, stood up and added a speech: "I just want to add one thing. This is the physical examination report of the deceased Yang Quan. Please pay attention to the description on the eighth-to-last line on the last page."

He handed over the materials to the staff for on-site projection.

When that page appeared on the screen, all the jurors in the court couldn't help but exclaimed "Ah——".

I saw in the medical report that it was written in black and white that Yang Quan suffered from andrological diseases, and that aspect of him... had already lost its function.

In other words, he doesn't have the basic function to assault any woman in that regard.

At most, she can only use her hands to molest her.

"According to the laws of the empire, only in dangerous situations such as rape and homicide that seriously violate personal safety, legitimate self-defense is not subject to any restrictions, and there is no responsibility for causing death during the defense process. But obscenity is not."

"If a person molests you, you can resist and stab him or her, but you can't kill him (her) for this reason. It is unfair and unfair in law."

"Therefore, I agree with the prosecutor that justifiable self-defense is not established in this case, and it is respect for the law to define it as manslaughter."

"After all, the right to life is our last line of defense. The extent of each person's mistakes should match the punishment he receives, instead of killing people indiscriminately."

After Gu Yuzhi calmly explained his point of view, he sat down slowly.

Everyone at the scene admired him somewhat. No wonder Professor Gu is well-known in the legal circle. He explained such a complicated case clearly, and the evidence is so strong.

Even though everyone sympathized with the woman who had to kill her husband, she had to admit that she had indeed committed a crime.

Seeing that the jurors and the judge nodded frequently, Shangguan Wanwan, who was on the suspect's defense seat, came out: "I have new evidence to submit. Please let the judge allow me to summon new witnesses."

She speaks very fast, with short hair flicking a bit sassy, ​​she looks like a standard professional big woman.

Instead, everyone was attracted by this face-to-face female lawyer returning from abroad, curious about how such a case that was almost certain could be reversed.

A man in ragged clothes and disheveled hair was summoned up. He looked honest and a bit stage frightened, but when he saw Li Meilian, the man's eyes lit up immediately, he couldn't help wiping his hair, and in a blink of an eye he lowered his head as if he was ashamed of himself in disarray.

Li Meilian's eyes narrowed and she didn't look at him.
