Gu Chen finished analyzing everything, and said everything that needed to be said.
Xue Qingqing silently watched her boss from the side.
This lawsuit was fought beautifully!
Since Gu Chen started this lawsuit, he hadn't used the system at all.
With cases of this nature, Gu Chen doesn't need to use the system; he himself is a top-tier lawyer, with even more experience in litigation than any top-tier lawyer!
Gu Chen's level and ability in lawsuits are hard to match even by the top-tier lawyers.
Not every case requires Gu Chen to use the system to solve it.
Even without surveillance footage or evidence at the scene, he can still fight the case!
The other party is still being extortive!
Gu Chen continued, "Moreover, Presiding Judge Li Yuan's judgment in the first trial is indeed problematic."
"Zhang Guobin's death has nothing to do with Xie Siyu."
"Please tell me which law states it is mandatory for the perpetrator to cover medical costs after an accident? Is this stipulated by law? Besides, in this case, Xie Siyu wasn't even the perpetrator; she was the good Samaritan who helped Zhang Guobin up."
"Zhang Guobin died because he succumbed to his injuries in the hospital, as nobody paid the medical expenses. Zhang Guobin had six children—four sons and two daughters—none of whom paid any medical fees! In the end, nobody cared for Zhang Guobin, who died in the hospital."
"If any of you had taken care of Zhang Guobin, it wouldn't have ended up like this, but all six of you were thinking about money, finding various ways to demand money from Xie Siyu. Did you ever consider the elder's feelings?"
Gu Chen looked at Zhang Zhiqiang and continued, "Xie Siyu stopped her car at 4:38 p.m., while the elder had actually called all of you at 4 p.m.! The elder called each of you six, and you all answered, but none said they would check on him. No one cared that the elder had fallen, fractured his leg, and couldn't move, while it was Xie Siyu who helped the elder up."
"But even Xie Siyu didn't expect the elder would falsely claim she hit him, knowing that none of his six children would care for him."
"Finally, in the hospital, when you six met, none of you cared about the elder's injuries; instead, you all pressed Xie Siyu for money, and when Zhang Guobin passed, you then placed all the blame on Xie Siyu."
"The most ridiculous part of this case is how someone managed to place all the blame on Xie Siyu, and Presiding Judge Li Yuan actually went along with it in the first trial."
"I want to ask how a judge can allocate the entire blame to Xie Siyu without any evidence, sentencing her to ten years? Did you even examine the elder's death investigation report?"
"Just because of your speculation! '[If you didn't hit him, why help him],' this resulted in you sentencing Xie Siyu to ten years?"
Gu Chen said, "Legally, whoever makes a claim must provide the evidence! Without even needing my extensive analysis, Xie Siyu is innocent because there is no evidence showing that she hit them, and the testimony from Zhu Guizhen and Zhang Guobin cannot be considered evidence!"
"After my factual analysis, it's also impossible for Xie Siyu to have hit Zhu Guizhen and Zhang Guobin with her car! There are no injuries on Zhu Guizhen, while Zhang Guobin was fractured from an impact—does this make sense?"
"If Xie Siyu indeed hit him, how could a lone, weak woman move Zhang Guobin five meters away by herself?"
"Judge, I assert that my client is not guilty!"
"My client, Xie Siyu, is not only innocent but also committed a good deed!"
"Someone doing good deeds shouldn't be held criminally responsible! Why penalize good deeds with imprisonment and fines?"
"If society really becomes such that people helping elders end up losing money and going to jail, then no one will be willing to help elders anymore!"
"Good people shouldn't have to prove their innocence! Our society needs to raise the cost of crime for bad people, not increase the difficulty for good people to prove themselves!"
"Judge, I conclude my statement."
Gu Chen finished speaking.
The crowd erupted into applause, everyone clapping.
Viewers in the live broadcast room were also sending messages rapidly.
[666666666666.]
[Lawyer Gu is amazing! Well said!]
[Why should good people have to prove themselves, it makes perfect sense!]
[The cost of crime should be increased for bad people, otherwise they'll keep extorting money, keep causing trouble without facing any punishment, won't they continue to extort in the next incident?]
[Lawyer Gu truly fought this case beautifully! Xie Siyu is innocent! I stand with Xie Siyu being innocent!!]
[If good people are sentenced, who would dare help the elderly?]
[Since when did helping the elderly become a mistake?]
Presiding Judge Rong Liwei looked at the two plaintiffs.
Rong Liwei spoke up, "Zhu Guizhen and Zhang Zhiqiang, do you have anything else you need to state? You both have one last chance for a statement."
This was part of the legal procedure.
At this point, the case was almost fully analyzed.
The judgment could be made!
Zhang Zhiqiang said, "I believe the defendant's lawyer, Gu Chen, is spouting nonsense! It was indeed Xie Siyu who hit the person, yet she denies it, right? Xie Siyu killed my father!! It's all because of her! She must take responsibility! There is no evidence of Xie Siyu hitting anyone, yet she was right there at the scene at the time! Could she possibly be blameless? Is there absolutely nothing wrong she did? My father was already advanced in years, could he really be falsely accusing her? Xie Siyu, as a person, should bear this responsibility! Why don't you admit you hit someone? Your family is so wealthy; is it too much to give us some compensation?"
"Why won't you pay? Why won't you cover some of the medical expenses? Your family is so wealthy, why wouldn't you? Would covering medical expenses cost you your life? Because you didn't cover medical expenses, it led to my father's death."
"Lastly! Even if it truly wasn't you who hit him, shouldn't you cover the expenses anyway? All six of us have no money. If you had covered the expenses, my father wouldn't have died, so you are the direct reason for my father's death! You must compensate fully!!"
"Why won't wealthy people pay compensation? Hit and run, does that even align with the law? Wealthy people ran over my father, and yet legally, no one takes responsibility! How can this be under broad daylight!! Why do you treat our family this way? Why? Why???"
Zhang Zhiqiang continued to lament and complain.
He still doesn't understand why wealthy people won't pay!
Why must wealthy people bully those like him who are poor?
Even if Xie Siyu didn't hit anyone, isn't it right for someone as wealthy as her to give a little money?
