Chapter 484: Chapter 355: Logic Counterattack!
The sound fell in an instant.
Zhang Bo’s eyes flashed. He stood up, like a pine tree in the snow, seemingly old but full of strength. Looking at the script, he said solemnly:
"This case, in Hongfu District, Hanhai City, Sanma Village, hunting case. The victim is named Hu Hua, aged 13 years old, male."
"Prosecuted by the Hanhai City Intermediate People’s Procuratorate in accordance with the law...."
"Defendant Lv Xiong, aged forty-six years, resident of Sanma Village, Hongfu District, Hanhai City."
"The victim Hu Hua, on August 14th, followed a summer camp to Sanma Village’s deserted mountains for a picnic. During which, due to physiological reactions, he went to relieve himself in the wild. He soon found himself detached from the main group, ventured out to search, leading to him being trapped in the deserted mountains."
"The defendant Lv Xiong, a villager of Sanma Village, on August 14th at noon, initially went to the deserted mountains with a hunting rifle for hunting."
"Ultimately leading to the incident."
"This case is being heard in a first trial by the Intermediate People’s Court of Hanhai City in accordance with the law, now announcing...."
Zhang Bo scanned the entire courtroom, then took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"This case..."
"Court session!!!"
As soon as the two words fell, the entire scene shook with energy, everyone focused their attention upward.
Zhang Bo then turned his head to look at the prosecutor Huang Ren, signaling that he could speak.
Huang Ren nodded, took a few seconds to organize his thoughts, then stood up, glanced around, and said slowly:
"Honorable presiding judge, and everyone present."
"According to the presiding judge’s statement and our investigation, the defendant Lv Xiong violated the following laws."
"Firstly, regarding the gun control issue, the ’Gun Management Law’ was issued in 1996, transitioning from ’limited personal gun ownership’ to ’strict prohibition of illegal gun possession’."
"The incident occurred in 2005, August 14th, when the defendant Lv Xiong possessed a gun leading to someone’s death. It’s clear that this happened after the issuance of the ’Gun Management Law’."
Huang Ren’s voice was not loud, nor did it fluctuate emotionally.
But the logic was very clear, everyone listened very clearly.
Suddenly, Huang Ren paused, and his tone suddenly intensified.
"The defendant Lv Xiong violated Article 128, Paragraph 1 of the ’Criminal Law’, ’Illegal possession of firearms crime’!"
"According to the evidence provided by the police, and some testimonies, the defendant Lv Xiong violated ’Intentional homicide’! ’Intentional injury’!"
"Moreover, after the incident, the defendant Lv Xiong, upon discovering the victim’s death, did not choose to report to the police, but fled the crime scene, which is a serious aggravating circumstance."
"In summary."
"The Hanhai City Intermediate People’s Procuratorate legally prosecutes the defendant Lv Xiong!"
As soon as this was said.
The people in the courtroom seats gradually began to stir slightly.
The three charges mentioned by Huang Ren are not entirely independent but rather a complete criminal logic chain!
Overall, it is possessing guns, using them for intentional harm and intentional homicide, which is much more severe than ordinary intentional homicide!
Even....
"Serious aggravating circumstances.... hissing, the serious aggravating circumstances of intentional homicide seem to be close to the death penalty...."
"Haha, well-deserved! He was told to hand over the firearm back then but refused, and now that he’s used it for murder, whatever the sentence, it’s deserved!"
"The victim’s family on the prosecution side is truly pitiful, left alone, husband dead, child gone...."
"Alas, in this way, Lv Xiong indeed deserves to die... it’s just, Lawyer Xu’s side...."
"..."
As the discussion continued, everyone unconsciously brought up Xu Liang, soon seeing everyone frowning.
Judging from the case details and the descriptions provided by the prosecution and court.
Without a doubt, Lv Xiong deserves to die!
Despite his attitude of admitting guilt being good and appearing pitiable... but then again, aren’t the victim’s family pitiable too!?
Their only child in the family is dead, isn’t this pitiable!?
In comparison, Lv Xiong’s so-called attitude of admitting guilt seems like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted....
Therefore, even if the presiding judge sentences him to death, no one would have any objections. Conversely, if the sentence is too light, it would cause people to frown.
Of course, in such a malicious murder case, the presiding judge usually will sentence severely, especially regarding gun management, the authorities have been increasingly enforcing efforts to confiscate them in recent years, Huang Ren is likely to be seen as a model for sentencing.
Only...
Lv Xiong’s defense lawyer previously turned a case involving a person who murdered three into a three-year sentence suspension.
Thinking of this, everyone felt a tightness in their heart, unconsciously looking towards Xu Liang.
Defendant’s side.
"Tsk, this logic chain is a bit tricky...."
Xu Liang felt a little tongue-tied inside, but he showed no expression on his face.
As for the gaze of everyone in the courtroom seats... he chose to ignore it selectively.
"Prosecutor’s side, does your side have any additional evidence to present?"
On the bench, Zhang Bo asked truthfully, he was also considering the opposing side’s words just now.
Huang Ren, expressionless, said: "We have no additional evidence to present."
Zhang Bo nodded, then looked at the defendant’s seat.
His gaze continuously swept across the three people, finally fixating on Xu Liang, immediately saying solemnly:
"Defendant’s side, do you wish to argue the prosecutor’s side’s statements?"
Argue?
Absolutely!
If you take on the case and don’t argue, wouldn’t you be handing the opponent a victory?
Xu Liang pondered for a moment, then didn’t hesitate and extended his hand, Yang Ruoxi instinctively handed the prepared script to Xu Liang.
"Honorable presiding judge."
"Regarding the prosecutor’s statements, my client primarily violated three legal points."
"Namely: illegal possession of firearms, intentional homicide, and intentional harm."
The prosecutor’s charges against Lv Xiong were these three points, and some minor charges are already included.
