Chapter 184 Judgment! Life Imprisonment! It’s Valid for Four Years! (Thanks to the Leader of Wenxiu for the Reward)

It is not difficult to identify Wang Yuan’s excessive circumstances.

As long as the causal relationship in criminal liability is related, there is no big problem.

Besides, this issue has been argued in detail before.

It will be much easier later, you just need to simply bring it out.

On the judgment stand.

The presiding judge Zhou Guangyu asked Su Bai to state the relevant division of causal responsibilities.

Su Bai started to divide responsibilities based on three points.

Three of the main responsibilities are:

First: Wang Yuan did not inform Fang Zhihui about Wu Guoxing's behavior at the door of the rental house.

Second: When Wu Guoxing committed the crime, Wang Yuan knew about it, but did not take any action to call the police or help Fang Zhizhi call for rescue.

Third: Wang Yuan’s subjective intention cannot be proven.

The subjective intention here refers to Wang Yuan’s subjective intention why she did not call the police or call for rescue.

These three points are the views put forward by Li Peng and Yang Qifan during the discussion in the collegial court.

Su Bai's statement on these three points was not much different from the results of the deliberations of the collegial panel members.

After Su Bai finished his statement.

Wei Hao refuted, specifically he wanted to refute through Wang Yuan's subjective behavior.

However, there are no objective factors to confirm subjective behavior, so Wei Hao's rebuttal seems particularly weak.

Boom!

After both sides made their statements, the presiding judge Zhou Guangyu banged the gavel.

Looking at the lawsuit materials, he nodded slightly, already making a decision in his heart.

Next comes the court presentation.

It is also the most critical link in this trial and the last link.

Ye Hua and Wei Hao acted as litigation attorneys for Wu Guoxing and Wang Yuan.

They knew very well in their hearts that the court statement was also their last chance.

Although some sentences have been completed, it may be possible to make appropriate use of court statements to reduce the prison term.

On the trial bench, Zhou Guangyu circled the trial scene and spoke slowly:

"Do all parties in the trial have any other objections to the defense in the current trial?"

All parties expressed no objection at the same time.

The gavel struck.

Zhou Guangyu continued to speak:

"Since none of the parties have any objections, let's now begin the final part of the litigation, the court statement."

"Please ask the defendant Wu Guoxing or Wu Guoxing's litigation agent to make a court statement."

"Parties and attorneys ad litem, one of you may make a court statement."

Facing the words of the presiding judge, Ye Hua said: "President, in this trial, we are our client making the final court statement."

"Then please invite the defendant Wu Guoxing to make his final court statement now."

Wu Guoxing glanced at his parents at the defendant's seat and remembered Ye Hua's previous reminder to him.

Admit guilt and accept punishment, be sincere, and do not resist, refute, or raise objections.

After thinking of this, Wu Guoxing raised his head and looked at the trial seat:

"Presiding judge, I have nothing to defend against the facts of my crime."

"I don't have anything else to say about the court presentation."

"I plead guilty."

"I admit that I killed Fang Zhihui and I am willing to accept the punishment that deserves it."

"No matter what the sentence is for me, whether it is the death penalty, life imprisonment, an additional sentence of fixed-term imprisonment, or upholding the original sentence."

"What I want to say is that I support the verdict of the trial."

"only.…"

Wu Guoxing turned around and looked at the litigant's seat.

"President, I have other things to say from the mother who wants the other person's wisdom."

"I can understand the mood of Fang Zhihui's mother. I would like to say sorry here. It was my impulse that caused the current result."

"I would like to sincerely apologize to you."

With that said, Wu Guoxing bowed deeply to the litigants' seats.

Xie Jingmei's eyes were red, her lips were pursed tightly, and she didn't say a word.

Does an apology help?

This belated apology meant nothing to her.

It can only be said that it made Wu Guoxing feel a lot better.

A lot less guilt.

But what about her?

Her daughter was killed by Wu Guoxing. At this time, because of the guilt in his heart, the murderer apologized to her.

Should she accept this guilt and apology?

No, it is impossible to accept.

Xie Jingmei said nothing and refused to accept Wu Guoxing's apology.

Su Bai noticed Xie Jingmei's eyes were red and signaled Li Xuezhen to pass the paper to Xie Jingmei.

This kind of apology is very common in court.

Looks very sincere.

Whether it was actually a sincere apology or an apology intended to give the judge a good impression, no one knows.

At this time, Zhou Guangyu banged the gavel: "Has the defendant Wu Guoxing finished his statement?"

"President, I have finished my statement."

"Okay, then let's invite Wang Yuan, the defendant's party, or the defendant's attorney ad litem to make a statement in court."

Zhou Guangyu glanced at the litigation materials, then looked up at Wang Yuan's defendant's seat.

At this time, Wei Hao raised his hand to signal:

Zhou Guangyu noticed Wei Hao's gesture: "What's the problem with the defendant's attorney?"

Wei Hao spoke: "Presiding Judge."

"Can we request that our client and litigation attorney make separate statements?"

"Because I am worried that our litigation attorney may not be too clear in some aspects. In fact, our litigation attorney is still very guilty about Fang Zhihui's death."

Xie Jingmei:? ? ?

Very ashamed?

You were so ashamed that you were not even willing to testify in court at the beginning, right?

In the first trial, why was Wu Guoxing given such a light sentence?

If Wang Yuan is really guilty, why is she unwilling to appear in court to testify?

Even when she begged Wang Yuan to testify in court, Wang Yuan directly blocked her and secretly ridiculed her on Weibo.

Is this called shame?

Are you afraid that you will go to jail, spend many years in jail, and worry that your life will not be as good as now when you get out, so you feel guilty now?

Xie Jingmei was very emotional...Li Xuezhen whispered comfort at the side:

"Don't worry...Lawyer Su will definitely let the other party get the punishment he deserves!"

"If we get excited, we will fall into the other party's trap, and it may delay the trial and sentencing."

After hearing this, Xie Jingmei's mood calmed down.

.

….

Zhou Guangyu frowned slightly and banged the gavel: "The collegial panel rejected the application of the defendant's litigation attorney."

"Only one person can make a court statement."

"Please ask the defendant's attorney to confirm the persons who will appear in court to make statements."

Wei Hao did not expect that his application would be rejected and glanced at Wang Yuan.

"Please ask our client to make a court statement."

"Then, please let the defendant Wang Yuan make her final court statement now."

Facing the final court statement, Wang Yuan seemed a little panicked, her eyes constantly jumping back and forth between her parents and the litigants.

She didn't know how to make a court presentation.

Because she didn't know how to refute, or she couldn't refute any accusation against her.

Wang Yuan's expression was a little anxious, but Zhou Guangyu didn't give Wang Yuan any chance.

"Now I invite Wang Yuan, the defendant party, to make a statement in court."

Under the urging of the presiding judge Zhou Guangyu, Wang Yuan finally set her sights on Xie Jingmei.

"President, I don't know how to make a court statement..."

"The court statement is a summary of the trial. You just talk about your views on this case, or what you think is wrong with the verdict of this case."

"Then can I talk to her?"

Wang Yuan pointed at Xie Jingmei.

Zhou Guangyu said: "You have the right to make a statement, but the other party has no obligation to respond to your inquiry."

"OK.…"

After hearing the exact words, Wang Yuan seemed to have found her target, looked at Xie Jingmei and began to state.

"Auntie Xie... I know I did something wrong and I should have called the police, but I really didn't think that much at the time. I really didn't know what to do!"

"Auntie Xie, you have to believe me..."

"Thank you, Auntie..."

"You should know that Zhizhi and I have always had a very good relationship, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to live together."

"I really didn't think of anything else at the time. I didn't inform Wisdom. I thought Wu Guoxing would not harm Wisdom."

"Aunt Xie, don't you believe me?"

"I don't want to see it like this, but... I really didn't know what to do at the time."

"I believe in wisdom, and I don't want to see this scene."

"And she doesn't want her mother to let her good friend go to jail."

"Aunt Xie, please forgive me. I really didn't think clearly at the time and didn't think of so many things. I will be your daughter and goddaughter from now on."

"Thank you, Auntie... okay?"

Wang Yuan was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Faced with Wang Yuan's words, Xie Jingmei's face showed rare anger.

Goddaughter?

When she begged the other party, what was his attitude?

Block her directly!

Now that I know that I can't escape the punishment of the law, I cry at the court hearing and want to be my goddaughter?

What about her own daughter?

I will never see my daughter again!

Wang Yuan just wanted to make herself forgive her with these few words?

Why? !

Absolutely impossible!

Seeing Xie Jingmei's face becoming more and more angry, Su Bai directly raised his hand to signal:

"President, the defendant's court statement has seriously deviated from the court hearing and the content of the court statement."

"We apply to suspend Wang Yuan's court statement."

Boom!

"The application is approved. Wang Yuan will no longer make statutory statements and keep quiet!"

Facing the gavel falling on the trial platform, Wang Yuan glared at Xie Jingmei with a hint of resentment, then briefly looked at her parents in the defendant's seat nervously.

Court presentations continue.

"The defendant has finished his statement. Now let's ask the prosecutor to make a statement."

Wang Kai had nothing to say about the trial.

The content of the statement simply accused Wu Guoxing and Wang Yuan of their crimes.

At the same time, the question of the recommended sentence was raised.

I don’t know if it was because I discussed it with my assistant lawyer during the adjournment stage.

Or based on the plea at the trial, other ideas came to mind.

In the court statement, the recommended sentence for Wang Yuan's criminal negligence was four years.

Faced with changes in the recommended sentence proposed by the prosecution.

Zhou Guangyu said: "The collegial panel has understood the prosecutor's statement and now invites the litigants or parties to make court statements."

Su Bai originally wanted to hand over the court statement to Xie Jingmei, but Xie Jingmei was too emotional.

So Su Bai had to make the court statement instead.

"President, our court statement is as follows:"

"According to the litigation evidence submitted by our side, several relevant pieces of evidence are Wang Yuan's implicit humiliation and insults towards our client Xie Jingmei."

"We don't know why the defendant Wang Yuan has so much hatred for our client."

"But we know that Wang Yuan will not feel any guilt towards us."

"As for the final outcome of this trial, we only hope that the presiding judge can use the most fair and just law to make a judgment."

"Presiding Judge, our statement is complete."

There is evidence, factual basis, and objective factors.

There is no need to say so much in the court statement, just highlight the key points.

After finishing the statement.

Su Bai looked at the judgment seat.

Xie Jingmei also set her sights on the court seat. At this time, she was extremely hopeful that the presiding judge could sentence all the culprits who killed her daughter and those who had committed crimes.

Zhou Guangyu sorted out the litigation materials and then banged the gavel.

Boom!

The dull sound of the gavel falling echoed throughout the courtroom.

It was accompanied by Zhou Guangyu’s serious voice: “Now let’s announce the verdict!”

Clerk: "Everyone stand up!"

At the court hearing, all relevant personnel stood up, and everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Guangyu's face.

Zhou Guangyu began to read out the verdict:

"The cause of this case:"

"The litigant is dissatisfied with the Sudu Intermediate People's Court's first-instance verdict on Wu Guoxing's intentional homicide and applies for an appeal."

"We also believe that the client, Wang Yuan, is suspected of criminal negligence causing death in this case, and we file an appeal."

“This court hearing is a joint trial case.”

"The verdict will be announced below:"

“1: In response to the litigant’s request to revoke the first-instance judgment, the Sudu High Court held that:”

“In the first-instance judgment, the Sudu Intermediate Court’s sentencing was inappropriate.”

"When Wu Guoxing's opponent used his wisdom to commit criminal acts, it was obviously a sudden killing, and it was a killing caused by his own factors."

"Wu Guoxing confessed to his murder."

"Taking into account the social influence of this case and Wu Guoxing's criminal facts and surrender circumstances."

"Now, we announce the verdict and punishment of Wu Guoxing in the second instance."

"The first-instance verdict of eight years' imprisonment for Wu Guoxing was revoked and Wu Guoxing was sentenced to life imprisonment!"

"Two: Criminal negligence accusation against Wang Yuan."

"The following judgment is now available:"

"(1) Throughout the entire case, based on the objective facts, Wang Yuan had obvious knowledge and could foresee that Wu Guoxing might harm Fang Zhihui, but did not notify Fang Zhihui and asked Fang Zhihui to dissuade Wu Guoxing."

"Based on this judgment, Wang Yuan's criminal responsibility for Fang Zhihui's death has a causal relationship."

"(2) During the incident, Wang Yuan obviously knew what happened, but after the incident, she did not call the ambulance and police calls in time.

Based on (1), Wang Yuan needs to bear part of the responsibility. "

"(3) Based on the first and second points, it is determined that Wu Guoxing caused Fang Zhihui's death and that Fang Zhihui failed to receive timely rescue. In both respects, Wang Yuan needs to bear corresponding responsibilities."

"According to the provisions of the criminal law, those who cause death by negligence and cause relatively serious consequences should be sentenced to 3 to 7 years in prison."

"During the course of this case, Wang Yuan's confession was insincere, there was no circumstance for surrendering, and it caused serious consequences."

"That is, sentenced to four years in prison!"

"This court has jurisdiction over this case and all applicable laws are in accordance with domestic laws."

"If all parties have any questions about the outcome of this case or believe that there are any problems with the judicial process, they can submit a review and supervision to the relevant supervisory department or continue to appeal."

"Within ten days of the court closing, this court will send a verdict to all parties."

Boom!

"Closed court!"

The last two words were accompanied by the dull sound of the gavel.

The trial is over.

But some people are dissatisfied with this verdict.

In the defendant's seat, Wang Yuan was stunned for a moment after hearing that she had been sentenced to four years in prison.

Apparently he couldn't accept that he was sentenced to four years.

One sentence kept popping up in my mind: Wasn’t it because I didn’t help Xie Jingmei to appear in court to correct her? Why was she sentenced to four years?

"presiding judge!"

"I don't accept this verdict!"

"I think there is a big problem with this sentence. Why should I be sentenced? I didn't kill the person!"

"Why should I be sentenced to four years in prison?"

"I think there must be something going on between you. Otherwise, why would you sentence me to four years in prison?"

"I'm going to file a supervisory review, and I'm going to ask the prosecutor to protest!"

Faced with Wang Yuan's roar in court, Zhou Guangyu, who was seated at the trial table, glanced at Wang Yuan indifferently.

Do you think there is something wrong with this court decision?

Also said that he had an improper relationship with the litigant?

OK, OK!

File a supervisory review.

How could he still be afraid?

.

….

Li Xuezhen’s face was straight: “Do you think you are Lawyer Su?”

Can the chief judge be sent in just by filing a supervisory review?

It is not certain whether this kind of judgment will be accepted if it is submitted to the relevant departments...
