Chapter 208 Death Can't Atonement
After going back and resting for a while, after smoking a cigarette, Fang Chaoyang gradually calmed down. He stood in front of the window. Outside the court gate, there were still many media reporters gathered. Today's trial will definitely become the most important news.
Fang Chaoyang took out his cell phone and called the hospital and learned that Shang Yuling was just too excited and fell into a coma. She has now woken up and is undergoing further detailed diagnosis.
Fang Chaoyang instructed the hospital to protect Shang Yuling as much as possible and not to accept media interviews. She was able to come to the court as a witness, not to be famous or to destroy her relatives for justice, but to be so deeply in love with her father and hatred.
During lunch time, everyone didn't say much. Shang Zaijun's case has been tried until now, and the facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive. No matter how he or his lawyer argues, he will definitely accept the most ruthless trial of the law.
The Internet has had a fierce discussion on this case. While giving praise to the prosecution, it also gave praise to Shang Yuling. In the face of righteousness and family affection, she bravely chose the former.
Xiao Zhao discovered that Chi Weiran and Yao Wuyan’s Weibo were closed, and netizens accused them of protecting the murderer, which made them unbearable.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Chaoyang and the other two arrived at the judge's bench on time. On the auditor's seat, there was no longer any sight of the father and sister of the victim Wu Lanfang. They relived the pain and made them unable to listen anymore and could only hand over everything to the court.
Shang Zaijun was brought up again, keeping his head down, unable to hide his extreme frustration.
"The prosecutor, do you still have evidence to show?" Fang Chaoyang asked.
"No." Yuan Dan said.
“Does the defense have new evidence submitted?”
"No!" Chi Weiran said.
"Does the defendant and the defense lawyer have any other applications?"
Shang Zaijun and the lawyer team said that there was no, especially Shang Zaijun, who didn't want to speak at all. His daughter's performance in the morning had already wiped out his last hope of survival.
Following the process, Fang Chaoyang said: "The court investigation has ended, and now the court debate will begin. The prosecutor will first express the prosecution opinion."
"Judge, I want to ask, how is my daughter like?" Shang Zaijun in the dock suddenly raised his head and plucked up the courage to ask.
"I asked the hospital where she was just emotional and there was no danger." Fang Chaoyang said.
"Thank you!" Shang Zaijun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"The prosecutor can express his public prosecution opinion." Fang Chaoyang said.
Yuan Dan stood up, tidied up his clothes, looked around, and whispered: "Twenty years have passed since this horrific corpse dismemberment case that happened in Fuyu Village. However, the net of heaven is vast and unobstructed, and the perpetrator will eventually be punished and pay the price for the evil deeds he has done."
Media reporters immediately pointed all the cameras at Yuan Dan. These words had nothing to do with the case, but they expressed the voice of a prosecutor. Faced with ugly sins, they also had emotions and wanted to speak out for it.
"All kinds of evidence show that this case was done by the defendant Shang Zaijun. After experiencing the shadow of his childhood, he lost his balance in his heart, and his rationality gradually lost, and committed an unforgivable crime. A female college student, a poor student, had a bright future, and was cruelly raped and killed on the way home. Even, she called out her father to save me, and the defendant, who also had a daughter, still did not put down her butcher knife..."
Speaking of this, Yuan Dan also burst into tears, choking sobbing that he could hardly speak. Applause rang out in the court. Fang Chaoyang did not stop him, and he also silently praised Yuan Dan for his heart.
Shang Zaijun leaned down on the dock and put his head between his handcuffed hands. This action seemed to be bowing his head to apologize.
Yuan Dan intermittently and lasted for a long time before she finished her public prosecution opinion.
The field continued to be quiet for five seconds. Suddenly, someone in the audience shouted, "Shang Zaijun deserves to be killed!" Then, everyone shouted, with a huge momentum.
Fang Chaoyang quickly knocked down the gavel and whispered: "The court is not allowed to make noise, everyone is kept quiet, and the law has its own fair judgment."
"I deserve to die, I deserve to die, and I cannot atone for my sins even if I die." Shang Zaijun turned around and bowed deeply to the audience.
Someone spitted at Shang Zaijun. It was Sha Meizi's father Sha Ziqiang. Fang Chaoyang pretended not to see it and continued: "The defendant Shang Zaijun, what can I say to you if you want to defend yourself?"
"No!" Shang Zaijun said.
"The following is the defense lawyer commissioned by the defendant Shang Zaijun. Which lawyer will come first?" Fang Chaoyang asked.
"Me!" Chi Weiran raised his hand.
"Please speak!"
"Dear presiding judge, juror, prosecutor who is prone to emotion, the defense believes that the cruel corpse dismemberment case that happened twenty years ago still has many doubts from various evidence. The knives without any information about the victim, the time of committing the crime, blood type, shoe size, testimony of the eight-year-old girl at that time cannot be proved that the case was done by the defendant. Moreover, the defendant's mental state is enough to make him fall into delusions in special circumstances and design himself as the so-called murderer. The defense is not talking nonsense. This is the situation of Lei, who was wrongly sentenced last time..."
Chi Weiran was very eloquent and could be said to be unequal. He talked endlessly for half an hour and almost refuted all the existing evidence and witness testimony. If it is not true, it is still not true! It is impossible to be sure, Shang Zaijun participated in this case.
Anger rose in Yuan Dan's eyes again. After Chi Weiran finished speaking, he immediately stood up and refuted fiercely.
The prosecutor believes that there is an authoritative mental appraisal report, Shang Zaijun has normal behavioral ability, his confession is true and credible, and he has sufficient time to commit the crime. In the imaginary state, it is impossible to provide details of the dismemberment of the corpse. Yuan Dan emphasized that even if it is a real mental disorder, the mental state during the crime must be analyzed and cannot be an exemption token.
The debate continued until five o'clock in the afternoon. Gradually, Chi Weiran was exhausted, while Yao Wuyan and Qiao Haiyang said they would not participate in the debate.
Shang Zaijun did not make a final statement. Ten minutes after the recession, Fang Chaoyang announced that after evaluation, the collegial panel believed that the witness testimony and related evidence materials were legal in form and verified by each other, and could be used as the basis for the finalization, and this court confirmed it.
"Because the defendant Shang Zaijun is suspected of two intentional homicide cases, this court will pronounce the verdict after all the trials are over. The trial will continue at 9 o'clock tomorrow." Fang Chaoyang knocked the gavel.
Although there was no verdict, the court recognized the evidence. There was no doubt about this major case twenty years ago. It was done by Shang Zaijun, so he was destined to be doomed.
