If you were asked to file a lawsuit, how come you were not found guilty?

Chapter 27 Adjournment, collegial discussion!
Wen Xuan's statement ended.

Ren Zhen almost stood up and applauded her.

wonderful!

fantastic!

In Ren Zhen's hundreds of defense careers in his previous life, he had never given such a wonderful final statement several times.

Although some lawyers will help the defendant think of what to say in advance, Ren Zhen feels that this approach is not very effective.

Originally, this link was for the defendant to express his or her thoughts.

The lawyer then stuffs the defendant with a bunch of opinions, or teaches the defendant to sensationalize the case.

The judge is not stupid.

Such a final statement is not much different from going through the motions.

Most of the defendants who relied on their own statements were confused with a hammer and a stick. It was difficult to think coherently and they could hardly express any useful information.

What's more, Ren Zhen has also seen many defendants wave their hands casually: "I won't say anything, there is nothing to say."

No matter how you look at it, that posture seems to be telling the judge, you decide the decision, there is no need to discuss it with me!

But Wen Xuan's final statement just now not only raised a point that was not elaborated in the trial.

He also gave some explanations for his behavior from both legal and emotional perspectives.

The most amazing thing is that Wen Xuan expressed these professional things as a layman.

Maybe it’s true, only by experiencing it can you understand?
After the court debate ended, Ren Zhen finally relaxed a little and began to think wildly.

As Wen Xuan's defendant's statement came to an end, the trial finally came to an end.

"After the defendant has finished his statement, I announce that the court will be adjourned for three and ten minutes!"

Zhang Lixia stood up, and the two judges next to him also stood up: "The court will be adjourned for 10 minutes. The trial court will deliberate on the case. After 10 minutes, the trial result will be announced in court!"

Boom!
The gavel fell.

Going to recess.

The three judges of the trial court left.

Wen Xuan was still unable to move freely. Wen Mingyang and Jiang Xiuzhen stood at a distance, looking at their daughter with tears streaming down their faces.

"Dad, Mom, stop crying."

Wen Xuan wiped her tears and said, "It turns out it hasn't come out yet. Maybe I can go home with you tonight."

"Yes, yes, Nizi is right, her mother, please stop crying."

Wen Mingyang wiped his wife's tears.

The two of them surrounded each other, their eyes fixed on Wen Xuan, and they did not look away for a long time.

"I'm old, I can't bear to see these things, there's sand in my eyes!"

"I'm more concerned about what the judge will decide."

"Do you still have any doubts? This is self-defense. I will release you in court!"

"Not necessarily, right? This is just our wishful thinking. The judge didn't say it was self-defense."

"Although what this lawyer said is clear and logical, the public prosecutor has handled so many cases. Can his standards be changed at will?"

"That seems to be the case? If Zhang Wenhai cannot be found guilty of rape, wouldn't the verdict this time be the same as the first trial?"

"The victim was given a suspended death sentence. Is there still justice? Is there still royal law?!"

"Yuan Lv, what do you think?"

Zhang Ziyu holds her chin with her hands, and the shape she squeezes out perfectly interprets the nickname given to her by water friends.

"I think the result should be somewhat different from the first trial."

"But if you want to consider it as legitimate defense, can you do it?"

Zhang Ziyu's CPU was running wildly, and she couldn't figure out the reason.

In the end, he shook his head: "It's hard to say. Although I sympathize with Wen Xuan, in judicial practice, it is too difficult to establish the establishment of marital rape."

"Although what Lawyer Ren said is reasonable, it may not be that easy to get the judicial authorities to directly make changes."

"I estimate that considering the reasons behind the incident and the focus of controversy in today's trial, Wen Xuan will most likely not be sentenced to death."

"I really can't guess how the judge will decide the specific verdict." This is not because Zhang Ziyu is hiding something, but because the things involved in this case are too complicated.

No one knows what the trial court will consider until the outcome of the trial comes out.

in court.

Ren Zhen held the thermos cup but did not unscrew the lid.

At this time, his heart was not as calm as it seemed.

Throughout the trial, it seemed that every move was unexpected and achieved good results.

But Ren Zhen knew that most of the previous efforts had only changed the case from the original intentional homicide to the current direction.

The key to the final verdict lies in the identification of marital rape.

If the constitution can be determined, then Wen Xuan's behavior was definitely self-defense.

The result was that he was not guilty and released in court.

Or for excessive defense, the sentence will be suspended for several years.

Even the latter result, compared to the suspended death sentence in the first trial, is just meaningless.

But if Zhang Wenhai cannot be found guilty of marital rape, this seemingly wonderful defense is actually not much different from wasted effort.

If it doesn't constitute rape, it's intentional homicide.

With the support of severe punishment in this world, is it very likely that Wen Xuan will still have a suspended death sentence?

Or a prison sentence with no end in sight.

Then in this court trial, even if he loses!

So, how likely is it that marital rape will be recognized?
Knowing that a verdict will be issued soon, it is useless to think about it now.

But Ren Zhen still couldn't help but think about this problem over and over again in his mind.

When I was arguing in court just now, I did speak impassionedly.

And it does make sense.

But that's all theoretical.

You know, there is a big difference between theory and practice.

Otherwise, Huang Jing would not have mentioned the identification standards in previous cases.

Ren Zhen thought about every sentence in the trial just now.

I couldn't help sighing.

Today can be considered a normal performance, and his performance in the court trial can be said to be almost flawless.

If it were placed in the previous world, he would be almost [-]% sure of the direction of the case!

But in this world where the overall level of the rule of law is not that developed, Ren Zhen dare not take this guarantee.

did my best.

Leave the rest to God.

"What do you guys think?"

in an office.

Zhang Lixia looked at the other two judges.

"About the two locations, the bedroom and the living room, on the day of the crime."

The bearded judge Wang Ming thought for a moment: "Both parties have reached an agreement on this point, and I think there is no problem."

"The lawyer raised this point simply to prove Zhang Wenhai's subjective intention to rape, so I think there is no need to discuss this point."

"So the key now is, was what Zhang Wenhai did to Wen Xuan rape?"

Another judge Fang Cheng, who had a sleek crew cut, nodded and acknowledged Wang Ming’s words:

"If it's rape, there's no problem with self-defense. At best, it's probably over-defense."

Zhang Lixia raised her eyebrows: "Old Fang, what do you mean, do you think it's not rape?"
