There have been thirty-six instances of dostic violence...
And these thirty-six instances of dostic violence get worse each ti.
When Gu Chen saw the injuries on Xie Tongtong, it was truly shocking.
Xue Qingqing also witnessed such a scene...
Xue Qingqing’s little face turned pale.
Gu Chen looked at Xue Qingqing’s reaction and thought, how could she have seen such a thing before?
Gu Chen looked at Xue Qingqing and said, "Qingqing, why don’t you go back and rest? You can leave this case entirely to ."
Xue Qingqing said, "Boss, it’s alright, I can handle this. Since you’re taking on this case, I want to assist you, and we need to fight this lawsuit together."
Seeing Xue Qingqing’s determined attitude, Gu Chen eventually nodded.
Gu Chen said, "I’ve co this ti to understand the specific circumstances. I’ve seen the information and injuries you’ve ntioned. Indeed, Lin Helong has beaten you into life-long disability, and his actions are certainly illegal."
Xie Tongtong cried and said, "Lawyer Gu, I just want the death penalty for Lin Helong. I know his family is wealthy, and they’re transferring assets, but I don’t care. I only want the death penalty for Lin Helong and nothing less. I can’t accept anything other than the death penalty."
Xie Tongtong said, "Lawyer Gu, I really don’t know what to do. I feel helpless... Lin Helong has threatened to retaliate against . If he gets out of prison, I can’t imagine what will happen to ... he’ll definitely take revenge."
"If he retaliates against by then, it will be too late for the court to sentence him. They might as well give him the death penalty now."
Gu Chen looked at Xie Tongtong and her family and said, "I’ve looked into this case and know all the details. What I want to tell you is not to hold high hopes for the death penalty. To put it bluntly, the cris Lin Helong has committed are insufficient to warrant a death sentence; the law does not stipulate such."
"No matter how terrible Lin Helong’s behavior is, how cruel his dostic violence is, or how much injury he’s caused you, resulting in your lifelong disability... the court will not sentence him to death."
"The criteria for sentencing the death penalty are very strict. Generally speaking, unless it’s selling prohibited items or involves intentional homicide, only then can the death penalty be imposed. Do you understand?"
Xie Tongtong said, "But Lin Helong has beaten this way; my future life is already completely destroyed. My whole life is ruined because of Lin Helong. From a normal person, I’ve turned into a disabled person... and it’s all because of Lin Helong’s actions."
"I’ve suffered tortures I shouldn’t have had to endure, pains I shouldn’t have experienced, yet Lin Helong walks free every day. He only has to serve a few years in prison, and then he’s out... while I? I have to carry a colostomy bag for life, my left kidney function has failed, and it will never recover. The impact on is lifelong. Isn’t that enough? Doesn’t that warrant the death penalty for Lin Helong?" Xie Tongtong said earnestly.
"No." Gu Chen said.
"Lawyer Gu... even if he caused severe harm, rendered disabled, it’s still not possible?" Xie Tongtong asked again.
"It’s not possible." Gu Chen said.
"Lawyer Gu... also, Lin Helong threatened , even writing threatening letters to , and there’s evidence of it... the letter he wrote clearly stated he wanted to kill . Will this allow him to be released? He could serve a few years and then be free, but what about ?" Xie Tongtong asked.
"Lin Helong writing threats may indeed increase his punishnt; the court will sentence him more heavily. However, even after increased punishnt, it’s still not enough for the death penalty." Gu Chen said.
After hearing Gu Chen’s words, Xie Tongtong was utterly despairing.
She didn’t know what to do...
No death penalty...
Xie Tongtong said, "Lawyer Gu, I don’t want any compensation, I only want a divorce, custody of my children, and for Lin Helong to get the death penalty. As long as Lin Helong gets the death penalty, I won’t ask for any compensation. It’s impossible for to write a letter of forgiveness for Lin Helong."
Gu Chen said, "Civil compensation is a part of civil law, property division in divorce is part of the divorce proceedings... but what I want to say is, the court will rule according to the law on property division; Lin Helong’s cris are criminal matters, judged according to the criminal law, so how many years he’s sentenced, or whether he’ll be given the death penalty, will not be affected by waiving civil compensation claims."
Gu Chen was educating Xie Tongtong on legal knowledge.
Indeed, Lin Helong’s actions are highly detestable and incite hatred.
But... there’s no way around it.
It’s truly hopeless.
Death penalty... from a legal standpoint, it’s not achievable.
This has nothing to do with the lawyer, as this is what the law stipulates.
Even court decisions must adhere to the law; there cannot be judgnts outside the legal frawork. That wouldn’t make sense or follow due process.
Xie Tongtong said, "But... Lawyer Gu, what should I do? Is there really no way at all? Must I endure struggles for the rest of my life? Lin Helong threatens , and I’m really scared. Isn’t there anyone who can control him?"
Gu Chen said, "I can understand, Lin Helong’s verbal threats show he is unrepentant, and the court will increase his punishnt. However, it won’t be a death penalty due to threats alone. Indeed, he’s threatening you, but just based on those won’t lead to the death penalty unless he truly commits irrational acts and charges with intentional homicide—that would warrant a death penalty."
After listening to Gu Chen explain, Xie Tongtong was completely despairing.
Xie Tongtong’s parents were the sa, exchanging a glance, both sighing.
Xie Tongtong said, "Lawyer Gu, I understand, thank you... I know what you an and understand, but... I must strive for the death penalty, and I hope Lawyer Gu can help , asking the court to impose a severe sentence on Lin Helong! Whatever the court decides is up to them, but we must stand up and strive!"
"If we’re afraid even to strive, then wouldn’t we have no hope at all?"
Xie Tongtong wiped away her tears and said, "We’ll do our best. Lawyer Gu, no matter what you say, I’ll cooperate."
Gu Chen nodded, "Yes, I’ll do my best to assist you, but I cannot assure you Lin Helong will definitely get the death penalty, or say the possibility of him getting the death penalty is non-existent, unless there’s other evidence or it’s discovered Lin Helong committed further cris that warrant the death penalty; otherwise, it’s not feasible."
"I can only assure you Lin Helong’s cris warrant a minimum of ten years sentence."
"As for the exact number of years, it will depend on the court."
Xie Tongtong nodded, her eyes filled with tears, full of disappointnt.
Is it really stipulated this way by the law?
Is there truly no way?
But Xie Tongtong understood, she must strive!
No matter the final outco, whether it’s the first trial or the second, she must give her all!
Otherwise, she won’t be able to sleep peacefully.
Who could accept such a life?
Anyway, she cannot accept!
She must have Lin Helong sentenced to death!
Xie Tongtong’s father, Xie Fan, said, "Lawyer Gu, thank you, we’ll cooperate with you, whatever it takes, make sure the court imposes a severe sentence on Lin Helong!"
Xie Tongtong’s mother, Yan Qing, also said, "Lawyer Gu, we can only rely on you. I never thought Lin Helong would be such a person, to have beaten my daughter like this. Even if we don’t take a penny of compensation, we’ll make sure he bears the consequences!"
"He must be sentenced heavily!"
Xie Tongtong’s parents were very angry, furious, and felt powerless.
Lin Helong doesn’t care about anything, he’s a madman who abuses his family and beats people.
Lin Helong even wants to retaliate against them.
They’re very scared...
Even knowing they can’t have Lin Helong sentenced to death, they will still do everything they can.
