You were asked to be a lawyer, and you sent the judge to jail?

Chapter 399 Gu Chen: My client is not guilty!

Gu Chen's words made everyone present fall silent.

Yeah, who can do that?
They were just looking at everything happening in front of them from a God's perspective, and they were extremely angry.

But only Li Long is the real person involved.

Li Long will remember this pain in his heart forever.

No one could empathize with Li Long.

The prosecutor continued, "We can understand Li Long's pain. He suffered the pain of his mother's death. No matter how painful this pain is, the three people who broke the law at the time, Lu Jun, Lu Wang, and Lu Daniu, have all been punished by law."

"No matter what the reason, no one's life can be illegally taken away."

"Li Long's criminal motive was bad, his means were cruel, he committed the crime with premeditation, and his subjective malice was extremely serious. These are all obvious."

"From an emotional point of view, I can understand Li Long's feelings, but from a legal point of view, what Li Long did is illegal. He deprived others of their lives. What Li Long did has destroyed a family, and the circumstances are equally bad."

"We cannot give Li Long a lighter punishment from a legal perspective just because of what he has experienced. No matter what, we cannot advocate fighting violence with violence. Any illegal behavior will be punished by law. Li Long should be sentenced to death," said the prosecutor.

Having defended the case to this point, Gu Chen is still at a great disadvantage.

Because what the prosecutor said was not wrong.

The law is not merciful and violence cannot be fought with violence.

No matter what the criminals have done, they should be punished by law.

What Li Long did was illegal after all.

After the prosecutor finished speaking, the netizens in the live broadcast room could no longer sit still.

[No, Li Long is also breaking the law? Then we can only blame why these three people were not sentenced to death in the first place. ]

[Aren’t these three people murderers? ]

[No, these three people were sentenced to death for special reasons. The highest sentence was only seven years.]

[What can we do? There is no other way. This is what the law stipulates. We have already given these three people the maximum punishment.]

[Li Long should be given a lighter sentence. Lawyer Gu is right. Li Long suffered real pain. He will never forget this feeling. No one can understand Li Long's feelings. To put it bluntly, Li Long just wanted to avenge his mother. Killing someone should be punished by his own life. So I think Li Long did nothing wrong.]

[Give Li Long a lighter sentence, don't sentence him to death. What crime did Li Long commit? Didn't he just kill a few murderers who should have died long ago? ]

[Why are these three people not sentenced to death for murder, but Li Long is sentenced to death for avenging his mother? ]

[Why? If Li Long is sentenced to death, I will be the first to object.]

Netizens are all defending Li Long.

They were also a little anxious.
If Li Long is finally sentenced to death, then nothing can save him.

But many people think that Li Long did nothing wrong.

Li Long just wanted to avenge his mother.
Who can put themselves in Li Long's shoes and understand him?

I lost my mother when I was young and my family was broken up because of it. Who can really understand this feeling?
Could the prosecutor fully understand Li Long's feelings? Not necessarily.

Li Long sighed, he knew there was no hope for him.

No matter who comes to help him, there is no hope.

Everyone was waiting for Gu Chen to speak.

At this time, the only one who could help Li Long was Gu Chen.

If Gu Chen couldn't find a solution, Li Long would probably be sentenced to death today.

There will be no changes in the second trial, and there is nothing that can be done about it.

Li Long's behavior was so bad that there was no problem in sentencing him to death.

No matter what the reason, killing is killing. Can anything be changed?
The prosecutor looked at Gu Chen and said, "Lawyer Gu, you are also a lawyer. Do you think this method of fighting violence with violence is right? We legal practitioners should proceed from the law when dealing with every case."

"This is a courtroom, not a place for reasoning, but a place for law. Li Long committed an extremely serious crime, and even if he surrendered himself, he should not be given a light punishment."

"If you encounter injustice, you should seek solutions based on the law, rather than fighting violence with violence. If that's the case, what's the point of the law? The purpose of the law is to maintain social fairness and stability."

The prosecutor has finished speaking.

Xue Qingqing listened to what the prosecutor said. This did not give the boss any chance to defend himself.

The prosecutor even went so far as to silence the boss, leaving him no reason to defend himself.

As long as the prosecutor grasps this point, it will be difficult to give Li Long a lighter sentence.

it's out of the question
at the same time.

Ace lawyer Du Jinguang is watching this live broadcast.

Du Jinguang smiled and said, "Don't worry about this lawsuit. Gu Chen has definitely lost it. Let the Internet trolls prepare themselves. Once the lawsuit is over, they will immediately spread rumors that Gu Chen received high lawyer fees but still lost the case. The lawyer's record of a 100% winning rate will be broken. Anyway, just discredit Gu Chen and his law firm."

Du Jinguang was not panicked at all. He didn't even know how Gu Chen could win the lawsuit.

Even if he appeared in person, it would be impossible to reduce Li Long's sentence in this case.

In this case, the penalty is death penalty.

Who can be useful?

Neither can Gu Chen.

Du Jinguang shook his head. He didn't know why Gu Chen lost his mind today and insisted on fighting this lawsuit which was bound to be a loss.

Is it really because of this sky-high defense fee that Gu Chen paid?
Du Jinguang smiled, which was quite normal.

If Gu Chen wasn't doing it for the money, why would he start a live broadcast and open a law firm?

Du Jinguang said, "By the way, let me tell the internet trolls again that the claim that Gu Chen helped others with lawsuits for free was all for marketing purposes. It's all fake. In fact, Gu Chen was a live streamer before, and he did all kinds of live streams just to get gifts and money. The lectures he gave in the live streams were all mediocre."

"Gu Chen filed this lawsuit to earn three hundred thousand in lawyer fees. After all, lawyers can easily defend in such cases, and it doesn't matter if he loses. After all, such cases are easy to lose. Anyway, it means that Gu Chen is not the kind of lawyer they imagined."

Du Jinguang has thought of various ways to let his internet trolls discredit Gu Chen and Gu Chen's law firm.

There is no way. Gu Chen is too popular now, and Gu Chen’s law firm is also quite popular.

Many people go to Gu Chen's law firm first when they have a lawsuit.
To put it bluntly, the number of people in the country who need to sue is always limited.

If these people go to Gu Chen's law firm to sue, the business volume of other law firms will decrease.

Law firms make money, largely through various businesses.

All the business has been snatched away by Gu Chen’s law firm, so won’t other law firms be unable to make a living?

Therefore, other law firms will try to target Gu Chen’s law firm.

By then, the whole network will condemn it.

There are too many people condemning Gu Chen Law Firm.
Even if Gu Chen’s law firm wants to defend its rights, how can it do so with so many trolls?
Sometimes there are too many people criticizing you and it’s impossible to protect your rights.

For example, movies like Fortress were criticized in the end.

No one can do anything about it. It's not just Du Jinguang who is preparing to target Gu Chen's law firm.
Many law firms have reached a tacit understanding that as long as Gu Chen loses this lawsuit, they will come together to target Gu Chen.

Even if a lawyer like Zhang Wei becomes famous, it will not affect the business volume of other law firms.

No one will target Zhang Wei, and people in the industry will just treat Zhang Wei as a joke.

But Gu Chen is different
Gu Chen is really good at litigation.

The law firm under Gu Chen is even more powerful.

This law firm has only been established for a short time, but it has already grown to this scale.

If it continues to develop, the law firm will not be far from becoming a red-circle law firm.

Gu Chen's law firm is not short of funds or business.
The development has been so rapid that it has affected the status of other law firms.

Everyone wanted to step out and step on Gu Chen.

Losing this lawsuit is the best opportunity.

in court.

Everyone thinks this lawsuit is going to be lost.
The prosecutor was also very confident and finally sentenced Li Long to death.

Presiding Judge Xu Yang also looked at Gu Chen and said, "Does the defendant's lawyer have any further rebuttal?"

Everyone was waiting for Gu Chen to speak.

If Gu Chen had not defended himself, the case would have almost been sentenced.

Gu Chen said, "Your Honor, I do have something to say. The prosecutor has been telling me from the beginning that Li Long's sentence cannot be reduced or lenient. Is that right?"

Prosecutor Wang Qing said, "Yes, if you choose to surrender after killing someone, you will definitely get a lighter punishment. Doesn't that provide a reason for others to get away with murder? As long as you kill someone, you surrender yourself, and then you don't have to be sentenced to death. Do you think that's right?"

Gu Chen smiled and said, "I agree with your point of view. If you kill someone, you should pay the price. For example, Lu Jun, Lu Wang, and Lu Daniu were sentenced to only seven years in prison at most for special reasons."

Wang Qing said, "Yes, but the court has already pronounced the verdict on this case, and there are no problems with the legal process. Lawyer Gu is very good at criminal law, and he must know that there is no problem with the basis of the court's verdict."

Gu Chen said: "I didn't say that the previous case was problematic."

"I never intended to defend Li Long or ask for a lighter sentence."

When Gu Chen finished saying this, everyone in the audience felt like their brains were freezing.

What's going on if he's not Lawyer Gu?
Gu Chen is now Li Long's defense lawyer and is mainly providing defense for Li Long in this lawsuit.

What Gu Chen said could be said in private, but this happened in court.

How could he say in court that he had no intention of reducing Li Long's punishment?
Isn't this just destroying your own reputation?

All the news media and reporters are here now.

These people are masters at taking things out of context.

Some celebrities were attacked by a group of people after they said something because the media took it out of context.

But Gu Chen said so
If it is exposed by the media
Gu Chen’s future reputation might be greatly affected!
As a lawyer, it’s okay if you lose a lawsuit. Netizens won’t say anything. It’s normal for lawyers to win and lose.

But as a lawyer, speaking like this in court is equivalent to not doing your job properly.

Who would go to sue Gu Chen in this case?
Even Gao Yong and Xia Ranran were somewhat shocked.

Xue Qingqing didn't quite understand either.
Netizens in the live broadcast room also had a lot of question marks on their faces.

Prosecutor Wang Qing asked, "Has the defendant's lawyer given up defending this case?"

Gu Chen said, "When did I say I would give up defending Li Long?"

"What I want to say is that I never intended to ask Li Long to reduce his punishment!"

"Reducing the punishment, as the name implies, means that Li Long must be punished before the punishment can be reduced!"

"If Li Long is guilty, then he can be punished, and as a defense lawyer, I will try to find a way to reduce his punishment."

"But now, Li Long is innocent and should be released!"

“Why should the punishment be reduced for someone who has committed no crime?”

After Gu Chen finished speaking, everyone in the audience took a deep breath.

The entire court was silent!
No one expected that Gu Chen would say such an important sentence!

Li Long is not guilty!!!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Everyone thought Gu Chen was crazy.
Li Long is a murderer!
Killed three people in succession and burned other people's vehicles
unambiguous evidence!

There is video evidence.
Besides, Li Long has already confessed everything!!
He pleaded guilty to everything.

How can this be innocent?
How can it be?

Li Long was sentenced to death in the first trial.
As a result, Gu Chen now says that Li Long is not guilty.

Moreover, Gu Chen is now a well-known lawyer in the industry, and his specialty is criminal cases.

Gu Chen must have been able to recite the criminal law by heart.
Everyone's eyes were filled with shock.
Did they hear it correctly?
Li Long is not guilty?

is it possible?

Isn't this just rubbing everyone's IQ into the ground?

Presiding Judge Xu Yang: “????”

Judge: “????”

Prosecutor: “Ah???”

Xia Ranran, Gao Yong, Xue Qingqing: "!!!"

What Gu Chen said was beyond everyone's expectations!
Li Long was also at a loss in the dock.

Li Long: “Hmm???”

No, not guilty???
Lawyer Gu actually said he was not guilty?
This? ? ?
Du Jinguang: "Hahahaha, crazy! Gu Chen must be crazy!"

Du Jinguang said, "What nonsense! There is irrefutable evidence that Li Long committed a crime, how can he be said to be innocent? Impossible! Gu Chen is really crazy! Is the Internet army ready? They are ready to attack Gu Chen! They say that Gu Chen's professional ability is not good, and what nonsense is he talking about in court? A murderer is not guilty? What nonsense!"

All major news media and reporters have made sufficient preparations.

All cameras were pointed at Gu Chen.

All the netizens in the live broadcast room stood up, widened their eyes, and looked at Gu Chen in disbelief.

Not guilty
Gu Chen actually said that Li Long was innocent! !

No need for sentence reduction if you are not guilty!
Why reduce the sentence when they are all innocent?!
