"I have also communicated with Zhao Sisi’s family. Zhao Sisi’s family has expressed their willingness to make the maximum compensation and seek the forgiveness of the victim, Tang Ya."
"We are all deeply saddened by Li Zhengyi’s sacrifice, including Zhao Sisi."
"When Zhao Sisi was ntally stable, she was there crying and apologizing. This was her only ti accepting an interview with the dia. She said she accidentally caused the firefighter uncle’s death, and that was her state when her mind was clear...."
"Since the incident to today, Zhao Sisi’s ntal state has beco increasingly unstable... I am deeply sorry and helpless."
"Li Zhengyi is a hero; he has left this world forever."
"We should not harbor the utmost malice against Zhao Sisi, after all, Li Zhengyi’s final push was to save Zhao Sisi."
"If Zhao Sisi is sentenced to death, wouldn’t Li Zhengyi’s rescue seem even more ridiculous? The girl Li Zhengyi exhausted himself to save is being punished."
"Zhao Sisi is also a patient, a ntally ill patient...."
"Zhao Sisi’s family will fully compensate Tang Ya."
"Moreover, stricter control will be imposed on Zhao Sisi in the future, and national help can be sought if necessary."
"Your honor, this concludes my statent."
Du Jinglin finished speaking.
He also submitted the evidence.
These pieces of evidence all pertain to Zhao Sisi’s ntal problems.
Du Jinglin had no choice.
If he didn’t use this trump card, there was no way to protect Zhao Sisi.
This is also because Zhao Sisi is his cousin, and he dotes on her...
So Du Jinglin, regardless of anything, wanted to protect Zhao Sisi first.
There was no way he could allow Zhao Sisi to be sentenced to death.
Otherwise, with the evidence Gu Chen presented earlier, sentencing Zhao Sisi to death would have been no problem at all.
In that situation, no one could have saved Zhao Sisi.
Fortunately, Zhao Sisi usually... her ntal state was indeed not very stable.
Presiding Judge Qiu Ming reviewed the evidence, and soon court staff verified it.
A while later.
Presiding Judge Qiu Ming declared, "The evidence is valid."
Zhao Sisi’s ntal illness certificate is genuine!
The dication is real!
Zhao Sisi’s outrageous remarks online are also real!
All the evidence submitted by both attorneys is real!
Qiu Ming was also sowhat overwheld.
This case had already beco very complicated at this point.
Zhao Sisi is ntally ill, but the key is to determine whether she had full self-awareness when she caused Li Zhengyi’s death in the water and whether her illness flared up? Was her ntal state stable?
All of this must be inferred from the situation at the ti.
Additionally, various investigations and analyses must be perford to evaluate Zhao Sisi’s ntal state at that ti.
Unless it can be completely proven that Zhao Sisi’s ntal state was unaffected at that ti... only then can she be convicted of intentional homicide and sentenced to death.
If it’s proven that Zhao Sisi’s ntal state was affected, then it would result in her acquittal.
Viewers in the live chat were getting anxious.
Can’t this be judged?
The series of evidence presented by Du Jinglin threw the case into a stalemate.
Du Jinglin even presented the psychiatric evaluation of Zhao Sisi conducted on the day of Li Zhengyi’s drowning.
The psychiatric assessnt showed that Zhao Sisi’s ntal state was indeed very unstable and that she had a breakdown....
This could largely prove that Zhao Sisi’s ntal state was significantly affected at that ti...
With this, the case leans toward Zhao Sisi’s acquittal.
Comnts flooded in the live chat.
[Is there really no way to convict Zhao Sisi?]
[Damn it, Zhao Sisi might be acquitted...]
[Zhao Sisi is ntally ill? How typical, but why didn’t they ntion the ntal illness sooner? At first, the defense claid Zhao Sisi didn’t know how to swim, that she was struggling, then said she could swim but it didn’t qualify as intentional homicide. Later, Lawyer Gu presented so much evidence, but it was useless...]
[It’s Yu Yu again, another ntal illness, ridiculously absurd. I think Zhao Sisi is outrageous, but I can’t see how she is ntally ill, a top-tier version, saying ntal illness is ntal illness?]
[Being ntally ill isn’t a cri, right? So Zhao Sisi is free?]
[Damn, if she’s really ntally ill, then Zhao Sisi will indeed be acquitted.]
[If it’s like this, no one can convict her, no matter how much evidence Lawyer Gu finds.]
[It’s really difficult now... Zhao Sisi is likely going to be acquitted.]
The netizens were speechless.
Now that the psychiatric evaluation has been submitted, it’s really impossible to convict Zhao Sisi.
In short... what do you do when a ntal patient has an episode?
How about when they commit a murder? Just say the ntal illness acted up again.
It’s a full, multidinsional defense, unsolvable.
Everyone knows Lawyer Gu has tried his best.
Lawyer Gu has presented all the evidence.
He found all the necessary evidence, found all the murder evidence.
If it were any other lawyer, the case probably wouldn’t have even reached this point before it ended.
But even after Gu Chen found all the evidence, it was still impossible to convict.
I have a ntal illness; what can you do?
Even murder is innocent!
ntal illness commits no cri!
What to do?
How to convict?
What good is conclusive evidence?
I have an immunity card; what can you do?
Gao Yong said, "Damn, a ntal patient, huh, can’t be judged, unbelievable."
Young Master Xue shook his head, "ntal illness is like a get-out-of-jail-free card unless it can be proven the ntal illness certificate is fake, or it can be proven that Zhao Sisi wasn’t having an episode at the ti of the murder."
Gao Yong said, "How to prove the ntal illness certificate is fake? Who dares to issue a fake certificate in such a big case? If the truth cos out, it would be a huge scandal. No hospital would dare to issue a fake certificate. If all the certificates are real, there’s nothing we can do."
Gao Yong continued, "Proving no episode during the murder is difficult. How long has it been since the incident? Proving no episode on that day now is quite difficult. The day Zhao Sisi committed it, a long ti has passed. Even if you conduct an investigation on Zhao Sisi now, you might prove she isn’t currently having an episode, but how to prove she wasn’t at that ti? It’s useless...."
"The key is, on the day of the incident, they took Zhao Sisi for a ntal evaluation. Why go to the hospital for a check-up amidst such chaos? It’s fishy."
Young Master Xue shook his head, "Looks like today, we are truly going to lose the case.... Can’t convict Zhao Sisi. I thought, at worst, we’d convict her of negligent homicide and at least have her sentenced, but now she’s just acquitted. Where’s the justice?"
Gao Yong sighed, "Gu Chen, managing to bring the case to this point, is already remarkable. If Zhang Wei or Zhang Fei had been the lawyers, Zhao Sisi would likely have already faced the death penalty."
Young Master Xue said, "If Zhang Wei were Zhao Sisi’s lawyer, Gu Chen might not even have had a chance to act, and Zhao Sisi would already be convicted."
Young Master Xue helplessly said, "There’s nothing to be done, the opponent is a top-tier lawyer from the nation’s leading firm, far from the level of Zhang Wei’s standard of lawyers."
"This is a peak duel, and there’s no way around it. Gu Chen presented his ultimate evidence, and they presented a ntal illness certificate."
"Gu Chen... what can he do now?"
"This case should end here. We’ve done our best; continuing would lead nowhere."
Xue Qingqing looked at the series of evidence presented by the opposing side, feeling powerless.
The hospital’s examination report confird the ntal illness....
Plus, Zhao Sisi’s examination report on the day she killed Li Zhengyi.
Along with Zhao Sisi’s courtroom insults against Gu Chen, her quarrels at ho, her arrogance at school....
Combined clues made everyone think Zhao Sisi was indeed ntally ill.
Could it be... this case truly ends here?
Gu Chen sat down.
He was genuinely shocked.
Who could’ve thought that Du Jinglin would present a ntal illness certificate?
However, even with the case reaching this point, Gu Chen still felt sothing was off.
Zhao Sisi is sowhat unstable ntally, but to insist she is ntally ill is far-fetched.
ntal patients are not typically like Zhao Sisi.
In other words, there are still secrets in this case!
After fighting cases this long, it’s the first ti Gu Chen encountered such a formidable opponent.
But so what?
Who said this case is unwinnable?
He can still gather further evidence!
If he finds enough evidence, he might even send the opposing lawyer away with it!
