Chapter 222

The scene of the trial.

The presiding judge Zhong Qiang organized the third case statement of the five defendants.

This time, Tang Peng chose to remain silent.

But others were faced with the hard evidence and finally told the truth.

Hu Guang: "Actually, we made an appointment to explore that building together that night."

"It's just that once it gets dark, we're already a little scared."

"On the contrary, Zhang Jun was a little strange that day. He is usually quite timid, but that night he seemed to be particularly courageous..."

Duan Ling: "...Normally, when Tang Peng bullies us, we dare to get angry but dare not speak out."

"However, we still dare to talk back occasionally. When Zhang Jun was bullied, he didn't even dare to say anything!"

"We have always thought that Zhang Jun is the most courageous among us, but that night, he actually talked back to Tang Peng!"

"He said that Tang Peng was scared! He also said that Tang Peng was a coward!..."

Gao Xian: "...Actually, Zhang Jun was right. We all could see that Tang Peng was also scared, but none of us dared to say it. Only Zhang Jun said it."

"At that time, we kept clamoring to go back, but Tang Peng refused to let us go."

"Later, it got darker and darker, and we heard some noises coming from the building from time to time."

"Looking back now, it should have been the uncle making the noise upstairs, but it scared us at the time!"

"A few of us hugged each other, and Zhang Jun was the only one standing there, acting like a normal person."

"This is indeed different from the usual Zhang Jun, so Tang Peng asked him if he was not afraid?"

"I didn't expect that Zhang Jun would laugh at him at that time, saying that he was timid and wanted to go back!"

Fang Geng: "...When Tang Peng noticed Zhang Jun for the first time, he said that Zhang Jun didn't even play with others, he was very cold!"

"Actually, I understand Zhang Jun. He's not cold, he's just timid and scared."

"My situation is similar to Zhang Jun's. Our family's conditions are not very good either, maybe even worse than his family's."

"I had no friends at first and didn't like playing with others. My academic performance was pretty good at that time."

"Although he is not yet in the top three of the next grade like Zhang Jun, he is still at the upper-middle level."

"Later, Tang Peng came over and said he wanted to be friends with me. I didn't want to talk to him at first, but he called me cold."

"He also said that he hates aloof people like us the most!"

“Then, he used his usual method to ‘break’ my coldness and successfully turned me into his ‘friend’. "

"Just like Zhang Jun later!"

"That night was the first time Zhang Jun spoke to Tang Peng with that attitude."

"When I heard him say that, I knew he was going to end badly!"

"I just didn't expect that he would be so miserable!"

"What happened next was similar to what they said I did before..."

This round of statements is over.

The whole case finally came to light.

Lin Hao said immediately.

"Presiding Judge, this case is now very clear."

"There are all witnesses and material evidence, and all other accomplices have confessed to the crime."

"Tang Peng is the absolute principal culprit in this serious violent crime. There is no doubt about this!"

"For such a vicious and cruel dandy like Tang Peng, I ask the court to sentence him in accordance with the law!"

At this time, Cao Xun was stunned.

However, when he heard that Lin Hao wanted to sentence Tang Peng, he still spoke.

"No judgment! Absolutely no judgment!"

"Tang Peng is only thirteen years old this year, and the minimum age of criminal responsibility in our country is fourteen!"

"Legally, he cannot be held criminally responsible!"

"We can bear all the medical expenses, rehabilitation expenses, and recuperation expenses of the victim Zhang Jun!"

"But the sentencing is absolutely unacceptable and violates the current criminal law!"

Said it violated the current criminal law.

Lin Hao is the most experienced.

Lin Hao said immediately.

"If it violates the current criminal law, then we will apply for a special trial!"

"I firmly advocate criminal punishment for such inhumane criminals!"

Cao Xun said disdainfully.

"It's a special trial again!"

"Lin Hao, do you really think that the laws of the Xia Kingdom were set up for you, Lin Hao, alone?"

"You said special trial means special trial?"

Lin Hao retorted.

"The law is never designed for an individual, it reflects the collective will of the entire society!"

"People like Tang Peng, who have no respect for other people's health and contempt for other people's lives, must receive the punishment they deserve!"

"I believe there is no ordinary citizen who doesn't think so!"

Lin Hao and Cao Xun talked to each other.

There was a stalemate for a while.

On the judgment seat.

The presiding judge Zhong Qiang banged the gavel with a serious face.

"quiet!"

"Whether there will be a special trial in this case, the court will have its own procedures!"

"But before the court makes a decision, we have to listen to the opinions of representatives of the minors protection organization."

"The two representatives have been sitting next to each other for so long, and I believe they already understand the situation of this case."

"I invited you two to come here today. I originally wanted you to supervise the trial of this case from the perspective of protecting minors."

"Now, the two parties to the lawsuit have a dispute over the trial of Tang Peng, the principal suspect in this case."

"Before making a final decision, the court would like to know your thoughts and opinions."

"Please make your announcement as appropriate."

On the delegates’ bench.

The two communicated a few words in a low voice.

One of them spoke.

"Dear presiding judge, fellow judges, prosecutors, defendants, and litigation attorneys."

"We already know the basic facts of this case from the trial just now."

"The defendant Tang Peng tied the victim with iron wire, causing severe brain damage."

"This does appear to be a very cruel modus operandi."

"But from our perspective, we believe that causing such serious consequences may not be Tang Peng's original intention."

"In other words, such serious consequences may not have been expected by Tang Peng."

"Although we don't particularly understand the law, we also know that subjectively this is not particularly bad."

"So we believe that the evil in the heart of this child Tang Peng can actually be improved through education."

"From the perspective of protecting minors, we hope that the court can give such a child who has accidentally gone astray a chance to abandon evil and do good."

"Because after all, they are still young and mentally immature, and sometimes they will inevitably do irreparable things regardless of the consequences."

"But I believe that children are still kind in nature, but they just lack some good guidance and education."

"Originally, we didn't dare to influence the court's trial, but if the presiding judge asked for our opinion, we would give it."

"Our opinion is that since Tang Peng has not yet reached the age of criminal responsibility, he should not be punished."

"We recommend that he be sent to a community corrections facility to receive some positive rehabilitation."

“After all, a prodigal son can’t be replaced by gold!”

After the representative finished speaking, the presiding judge Zhong Qiang nodded slightly, looking thoughtful.

When Cao Xun saw this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

fine!

Fortunately, I still have such a trump card!

Although it cannot play a decisive role.

But it can still affect the judgment of some judges to some extent.

Next, let’s see how much impact it can have!

On the prosecutor's bench.

Lin Hao had already expected this situation.

He already knew all of Cao Xun's arrangements.

It's not just these two people present.

Everyone in the audience was actually taken care of by Cao Xun in advance.

These people can be regarded as Cao Xun's last line of insurance for Tang Peng.

You really worked hard to win against me!

It's a pity it's useless!

I'll take off your panties now!

Let you run naked on the spot!

Lin Hao slowly raised his hand and said.

"Presiding Judge, I want to report it!"
