Chapter 328 This is revenge!
Nine fifty in the morning.

Longcheng, Binjiang District Criminal Tribunal No. [-].

Both plaintiff and defendant had arrived ahead of schedule.

"Mr. Jiang, it's still too late to withdraw the lawsuit. As long as you withdraw the lawsuit, we will withdraw the lawsuit, and the conditions we promised you before still count."

Liu Jia still wants to fight for it.

After all, withdrawing the lawsuit is a [-]% win, but if there is a trial, there is a high probability that both sides will suffer.

And if Jiang Bai could be persuaded to withdraw the lawsuit, it would not only be the best result for the parties involved, but also be of great benefit to Liu Jia herself.

After all, many people only care about the result, not the process.

This matter has been passed around, and the final version is likely to become "Liu Jia defeated Luo Dazhuang".

Listen, you won the battle against Luo Dazhang, how honorable you are to say it.

With this record by his side, will he still lack clients in the future?
In fact, Liu Jia's desire to withdraw the lawsuit is no weaker than that of Chen Yutong.

But it's a pity that Jiang Bai is destined to be the man who broke her heart.

"Lawyer Liu, the court session is about to start. You should take your client and go back to the defendant's seat." Jiang Bai said lightly.

"The surname is Jiang!"

"Are you fucking insane!"

Chen Yutong yelled on the spot: "What kind of grudge do I have with you, why do you insist on suing me instead of suing me?"

"Didn't I just post a post? Why are you so stingy?"

"What good will it do you to put me in jail!!!"

Jiang Bai smiled sarcastically, stared at her and said every word: "I don't feel at ease if I don't see you in jail."

"You...crazy!"

Chen Yutong was stunned for a while, then gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.

She was getting mad.

How did you come across such a strange thing?

Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to live in peace and harmony? We must make both sides suffer!

"In that case, let's see the outcome in court!"

Liu Jia put down a harsh word and took Chen Yutong back.

Because the clerk has come in at this moment, ready to read the court discipline.

Immediately afterwards, judges and judges also entered the trial court.

After a certain procedure, Luo Dazhuang stood up and read out the indictment.

"On X of this month, our client was walking near the intersection of Bingkang Road and Fengxing Street..."

"Our party beat the dog to death out of the principle of emergency avoidance and in order to protect himself."

"The police from the Changjie Street Police Station who received the police also came to a conclusion after interviewing the people at the scene, and our party does not bear any responsibility for this."

"However, the defendant held a grudge. At around 8:[-] p.m. on the same day, he posted a complaint in the 'Love Dog Bar', deliberately avoiding the serious and trivial, distorting the facts, and leading public opinion to attack and insult our client."

"In just a few days, the number of views of this post exceeded 20, the scope of influence was huge, and the plot was serious and bad in nature, which caused our party to suffer extremely serious cyber violence!"

"We implore the collegial panel to convict the defendant of defamation and punish him severely!"

"In addition, we require the defendant to make a public apology, clarify the facts, eliminate the impact, and compensate our party for reputation loss, mental loss and other expenses totaling 5000 yuan."

Judge Chen Zhonghan nodded slowly, then looked at the defendant's seat, and asked, "Defendant, what do you want to say about this?"

Chen Yutong immediately stood up and said, "Your Honor, all jurors, I am fully aware that my actions violated the law, and now I regret it very much..."

Chen Yutong was obedient and made a statement exactly as Liu Jia ordered.

The crime of defamation is a certainty, it is impossible to be innocent, there is no possibility.

So what she has to do is to actively plead guilty and accept punishment, and sincerely apologize and strive for a commutation of sentence.

The key is "attitude"!
Be sure to let the judge and jurors see her attitude.

This is helpful for reducing sentences.

From Chen Yutong's statement, it is not difficult to guess the defense strategy of the defendant.

This trial mainly focused on commutation of sentences.

After listening to Chen Yutong's statement, Chen Zhonghan announced the start of court debate.

Liu Jia took the lead in defending:

"The Cathrow dog 'Earl' has been with our client day and night for five years. Our client has a very deep relationship with his pet dog. In her mind, Earl is no longer a simple pet, but a friend and even a relative. !"

"Seeing the tragic death of my relatives, the sadness and anger in my client's heart can be imagined. Under such agitation, it is understandable to act irrationally."

"And I have reason to believe that our party definitely did not intentionally fabricate and spread rumors. Her original intention of posting on Tieba is more to express her nostalgia for her pet dog."

Liu Jia took a deep breath and continued: "The Dog Love Bar is a gathering place for dog lovers. I think it's normal for our client to post a post in this bar to remember his dead dog."

"Of course, our party's words and sentences were not rigorous, which caused some distress and loss to the victim. We do not deny it, and we are willing to do our best to compensate the victim. We just want to implore the collegial panel to give our party a lighter sentence. "

Playing the emotional card is Liu Jia's usual way of defense.

Although judges need to ensure objectivity and fairness when trying cases, they need to base their judgments on facts and the law as the yardstick to make judgments that are as fair as possible.

But the judge is also a human being, not a machine nor a god!
It is impossible to completely get rid of the influence of personal emotions.

What Liu Jia focuses on is the judge's discretion.

In a case, it is reasonable to sentence the defendant to five to seven years according to the law, so the specific sentence of five years, six years or seven years depends to a certain extent on the opinions of the judge and jurors.

As soon as Liu Jia opened her mouth, she portrayed Chen Yutong as an image of excessive grief over the loss of her pet dog.

And she also emphasized that the earl is not an ordinary pet to Chen Yutong, but a friend and relative.

The death of a pet and the death of a relative are two completely different things.

"Your Honor, the defense has applied for evidence."

Naturally, dictation alone is not enough, Liu Jia also prepared evidence.

Her evidence was presented with the judge's permission.

These are some photos and videos of Chen Yutong and Earl's daily life, as well as Moments and posts sent by Chen Yutong.

"From these evidences, it can be seen that the relationship between our client and the earl is really good. The five years of company have made them an indispensable part of each other's lives."

"A few years ago, our client experienced two heavy blows of losing her job and losing her love. She entered the underestimation of life, and it was the earl who accompanied her out."

"I said this not to exonerate my client, but to hope that everyone can understand her behavior a little bit."

"After all, people are not grass and trees."

At the same time, Chen Yutong wiped away tears very cooperatively, looking very sad.

After Liu Jia finished speaking, Luo Dazhuang immediately got up and said:
"I disagree with what the defense lawyers have said."

"I personally don't agree with the theory of 'law is not merciful', because there are indeed many helpless cases in reality, such as robbing milk powder with a knife to save one's own children... Crimes like this will be punished by the law to a certain extent. tolerant."

"However, the defendant's behavior clearly does not meet this condition!"

"Because her original intention of posting was purely to vent her personal anger, this is pure revenge!"

Luo Dazhuang's voice was loud and clear, and he strongly refuted Liu Jia's words.

"Regardless of the relationship between the defendant and her dog, it is an indisputable fact that she posted a post to slander our client in order to vent her personal anger and triggered an online violence against my client."

"Did someone force her to do it? Is there a reason why she had to? No."

"All of this is completely the behavior of the defendant's own choice, so she has no reason to ask the law to be extra lenient to her."

"Our society is a society ruled by law. Anyone who does anything needs to be within the scope of the law."

"If everyone, like the defendant, can violate the legitimate rights and interests of others and trample on the dignity of the law with a so-called reason, then what will our society be like!"

Luo Dazhuang's speech was powerful and well-founded.

Directly refuted Liu Jia's remarks.

But it's not over.

Luo Dazhuang then continued: "After the official account issued a notice to clarify the facts, the defendant still showed no signs of stopping, but continued to expand its influence by replying to posts and guiding netizens to forward them."

"Such behaviors directly lead to the intensification of cyber violence against our client, and it has become a hot search on multiple platforms such as Tieba and Douyin."

"The defendant ignored the law, trampled on the law, slandered others, and hurt others just out of revenge!"

"This kind of behavior is extremely bad, and I implore the collegial panel to give him a heavier sentence!"

Luo Dazhuang's words were equivalent to cursing by pointing at Chen Yutong's nose.

But she had no way to refute.

Because what Luo Dazhuang said was the truth, she did do these things, and the evidence is conclusive.

Liu Jia's complexion also became very ugly.

It is definitely very bad news that her main mitigation strategy was refuted.

In the auditorium.

Zhang Wei shook his head slowly.

At this point in the trial, it is actually equivalent to ending early.

The case itself is very clear, there is no dispute, and the lawyers on both sides are not at the same level, which makes the case even more suspenseless.

Sure enough, just as he expected, Luo Dazhuang beat his opponent extremely forcefully at the beginning of the game.

Of course.

Zhang Wei came here to attend the trial, not to watch Luo Dazhuang unilaterally crush the situation.

He came here mainly for the countersuit case that followed.

Really curious, what surprises Jiang Bai and Luo Dazhuang prepared for each other.

On the field.

Although it was a bad start, Liu Jia would not give up so easily.

Still in full defense.

But unfortunately, every reason for her commutation of sentence was easily refuted by Luo Dazhuang.

When a criminal act is characterized as "retaliation", it will naturally become more difficult to obtain a reduced sentence.
