In the name of love

After seven years of treatment, she could not eat anything but liquid food. It was not until a kind hearted person transplanted her organs that the little girl was able to climb out of this long hell. "

Ai Ting said in a heartbroken tone.

"You folks must be thinking, what about that tramp? Under our fair law and strict court, he must have been punished as he should have been punished, right?"

"Unfortunately, such a thing did not happen. The reason was not that our laws or our honorable judges were unjust, but that the defense of the accused raised a plea that the homeless man was mentally ill , unable to realize how cruel what he did to the little girl, and therefore advocates that the defendant should be acquitted."

Ai Ting paused for a moment, Yulu saw that Sam beside the wheelchair raised his head, clasped his hands in front of his knees, and seemed to be listening to Ai Ting's Chinese.He hurriedly looked away, and lowered his head beside Ji Lan.

"The judge did not accept this ridiculous defense at first, but the defendant's defenders began to stalk, submitting mental certificates from multiple hospitals, and claiming that the defendant had been treated in a mental sanatorium for many years because the sanatorium It was his negligence that allowed this dangerous patient to escape."

"The court finally accepted the lawyer's mental defense, the defendant was found not guilty, and the homeless man was sent to a nursing home again. After a short period of one and a half years of treatment, he was released again because his mental condition improved."

"The folks probably also guessed what happened in the end. Less than a month after being discharged from the hospital, the defendant was arrested again for sexually assaulting a girl. Unfortunately, the girl died on the spot due to excessive blood loss."

Ai Ting hit the prosecutor's seat with his right hand, speaking loudly.

"The defendant who was arrested again finally confessed to the police that he is not a mental patient at all. He is very aware of what he has done. He can still vividly remember the scene where the iron bar penetrated the little girl's lower body. Showing off to the police how he tortured little girls. All the insanity, all his expensive defense lawyers staged."

"Gentlemen, by telling this story today, it is not an attempt to discredit my opponent, our venerable defense attorney."

"But I want to tell you one thing, that is, everyone in court today, including judges, lawyers, our defendant Ye Chang, and myself, should be responsible for everything they have done. This is the responsibility we adults should have, and it is also the obligation that adults should fulfill.”

Ai Ting stretched out his left hand, pressing down on the podium below.

"That's why I stand here today, not trying to make anyone or any defendant a criminal, but to make an adult fully responsible for what he has done, and learn to reflect on this premise."

"Only by putting an end to those ridiculous excuses can our defendant truly reflect. So today, I am not debating with my venerable opponent, but just teaching our defendant Ye Chang not to make excuses for his behavior , and fully understand how much harm he has done to the victim."

Ai Ting faced the judge's seat and bowed slightly.

"Please, dear court, besides looking at the accused standing there, also take pity on our plaintiff sitting here. Only let the accused pay the price for what he did without reservation, the wounds they have suffered There is a day of real healing. The above is the content of the prosecution's indictment."

Ai Ting sat back on the prosecutor's seat according to his seat, and the auditorium was completely silent.Yulu saw several women pressing their lips with handkerchiefs, as if they were deeply moved by Ai Ting's words.

Ji Lan stood up amidst the silence, Yulu finally had enough time to look away from Sam, and looked at this man who was so similar to the object he had fallen deeply into.

"Your court, dear prosecutor, and informant."

Ji Lan coughed twice, her voice was still a bit hoarse, but Yu Lv could feel the intensity in it unabated.

"I am a lawyer for the defense. My surname is Ji. I took over the entrustment of my client Ye Chang a month ago. In the past month, I have met with my client and his family many times, and have a deep understanding of the situation. Everything about Ye Chang. And that's why I'm standing here now, preparing to defend my client's innocence."

Ji Lan's voice is warm and sensual. If Ai Ting is a loud noise, Ji Lan is a quiet and far-reaching trickle.Yulu saw that many women who had covered their faces with handkerchiefs raised their heads and stared at Ji Lan on the defense bench.

"The story told by the prosecutor is very moving. I want to be the defense, and I also want to pay back a story to our respectable prosecutor. This story may not be as sensational as what prosecutor Ai said, but it is very meaningful to me. "

Yulu heard Ai Ting's soft "hum", obviously disapproving.Ji Lan continued:

"That happened to my neighbor. My neighbor is my age, a quiet boy who likes to read and write, and his future dream is to become a novelist."

"But unfortunately, when he was nine years old, he was also on his way from school, because the driver in his family had just changed and got lost on the way and failed to pick him up on time. He set foot on the way home by himself. Unfortunately, he was kidnapped by a man on the way and was taken to the man's home, his hands and feet were tied, and his eyes were covered with a black cloth."

"The boy once thought he was going to die, so he begged the kidnappers to let him go. But the kidnappers were unmoved. Instead of letting him go, he took the opportunity to take off his pants and forcibly molested him. "

There was another whisper from Yulu in the auditorium.But Yulu cares about other things. He always feels that the little boy in Ji Lan's story seems familiar no matter how he hears it.

"Fortunately, the boy's elder brother called the police vigilantly. The kidnapper was inexperienced. He was discovered by the police while taking the ransom. He ran away with oil on his feet, and the boy was rescued from further tragedies."

"Not long after the boy was rescued, the police brought a man who looked like a homeless man and asked the boy if this man had kidnapped him. The boy didn't understand anything because his eyes were blindfolded when he was kidnapped. I can’t see clearly that the kidnapper is round and flat.”

"But the police questioned him again and again. No matter what the boy said, he could no longer recognize him. The police would not let him go. They even called the homeless man to speak up, let the little boy listen to his voice, and kept asking him: 'Well, it's him. Right?' Under pressure, the little boy finally nodded and identified the homeless man. The homeless man was sent to lock up."

Ji Lan coughed and continued in a hoarse and sexy voice.

"However, not long after the homeless man was taken into custody, a male college student suddenly turned himself in to the police, saying that he was the prisoner who kidnapped the little boy, and hoped to see the little boy again. He had an afro on his head, and the boy was sure of it the moment they met. It was him, because he knew the voice, and the feel of that permed hair against his cheek."

"The homeless man was released and the real criminal was arrested, but no one, including the police, apologized to the homeless man who was locked up for almost a week for nothing, just because he was a homeless man who looked like a criminal."

Ji Lan pressed the defense seat with both hands, stared at Ai Ting opposite, her tone was still soft.

"We often have preconceived prejudices about someone because of some obvious reasons, such as a person's appearance, a person's identity, a person's occupation, social status, or even his sexual orientation."

"But what I want to tell you through this story is that our court is the place where all prejudice is removed. A person, a defendant, no matter how severely discriminated against in society because of his background, when When he stands in the dock, before our venerable judges, he is a completely white man who will receive the fairest scrutiny."

"And what I have to do as a defense attorney is to assist in this fair trial. As our prosecutor said just now, hold each person accountable for what he has done and for what he has not done. things and find the people who are really responsible for those things.”

Ji Lan sat down slowly, Yulu heard him panting slightly, probably because of a cold.

"The above is the gist of the defense's defense. Thank you, sir."

The courtroom became quiet again, and Yulu knew that in the lengthy opening remarks just now, both sides had vaccinated against their next court strategy.It's just that I don't know which one is more effective.

He looked uneasily at Sam who was always sitting next to Ms. Wu. Sam didn't seem to intend to speak. In fact, he told the agent that he was a weak presence in the criminal court, and the public prosecution was mainly based on the prosecutor.At best, telling the attorney is a bridge between the victim who usually does not understand the law and the prosecutor.

Sam had been talking to the victim's mother in a low voice, and his big palm that could not see a trace of age was covering her hand. Yulu realized how much he missed Sam's gentle demeanor, and his heart ached.

"Then, please begin the cross-examination of our first witness today."

The judge sitting in the center spoke, "Tell people, please come forward."

Yulu saw that Sam gave Ms. Wu an encouraging look, and let go of her hand. Ms. Wu looked back at Sam's handsome mixed-race face, and slowly rolled the wheelchair to the witness stand. The bailiff opened the witness for her. the door of the seat and push the wheelchair into position.

Ms. Wu's face looked a little pale, but compared to what she saw in the preparatory court that day
