Gu Chen stated three points.
At this moment, the two judges in the courtroom were completely stunned.
Even the presiding judge, Zhao Zhichao, was dumbfounded.
Wait, aren't you the defense lawyer for the defendant?
Everyone looked at Gu Chen with incredulous eyes, utterly shocked.
The entire courtroom fell silent for three seconds.
Everyone thought Gu Chen had gone crazy!
Gu Chen must be out of his mind!!
Gu Chen had previously handled two cases with remarkable success.
But in the first case, it was due to the illegal bribery by the opposing lawyer and the judge that Gu Chen seized the opportunity to send them in.
As for the second case involving Wang Yongqiang, it was because Wang Yongqiang was acting in self-defense, coupled with the fact that Liu Yajun's family was indeed involved in loan sharking, that Gu Chen managed to send them in.
But what about this case?
Gu Chen is the defense lawyer for the defendant!
The defendant is Cai Qian!
Cai Qian raped Zhao Lele!!
Gu Chen is supposed to be defending Cai Qian in this case!!
But now, the three demands Gu Chen put forward left everyone dumbfounded.
The key is that in this case, the evidence is overwhelming!!
The DNA report found in Zhao Lele's body, along with the recordings and hotel surveillance footage, served as dual evidence, on top of Cai Qian originally admitting to the rape!
No matter how morally corrupt Zhao Lele might be, she did not break the law; the one who broke the law is Cai Qian!
Now Gu Chen actually voiced these three demands!
Gu Chen said, "Your Honor, I have a fourth demand!"
"The fourth demand is that Zhao Lele falsely accused and slandered Cai Qian, severely threatening Cai Qian's personal life, so we demand that Zhao Lele be sentenced and that she pays Cai Qian three hundred thousand in emotional damages!"
"That concludes my statement," Gu Chen said.
Presiding judge Zhao Zhichao: "..."
The presiding judge looked at Gu Chen, his face full of shock.
Gu Chen put forward four demands, all directed against the plaintiff!
...
At the plaintiff's table, Zhao Lele stood there somewhat bewildered.
Wait, am I the plaintiff, or are you the plaintiff?
Why are you acting like this?
As the defendant's lawyer, you should be defending the defendant, yet you're accusing him?
She was already engaged to Cai Qian; shouldn't the dowry of three hundred thousand and the three gold items be hers?
Why should she return the money?
The money was earned with her skills, why should she give it back?
Even if she were to return it, Zhao Lele had already spent most of the money; all the things she bought were high-end brands, and she spent freely to shape herself into a socialite image.
The reason she couldn't marry Cai Qian was all because of what Cai Qian did to her.
Zhao Lele was very angry; can't men be a bit more generous, is three hundred thousand really that much for a dowry, why do they want it back?
Anyway, she wasn't going to return the money, who could do anything to her?
Besides, there was no way she could lose this case!
Cai Qian was definitely going to jail.
Zhao Lele smiled, thinking Gu Chen must be out of his mind.
In this case, with all the evidence present, there was no way she could lose.
Lose? As if that's possible?
Meanwhile, viewers in the livestream were going crazy.
[What? Damn, Lawless Madman!!]
[No way, Gu Chen must be insane, Cai Qian committed rape, how could he be innocent, didn't the hotel surveillance footage clearly show this?]
[Gu Chen has really gone crazy, there's no way Cai Qian could be innocent in this case, he's definitely going to jail.]
[But I really think Gu Chen is awesome, he's supposed to be the defendant's lawyer, now trying to send Zhao Lele in?]
[I don't believe it, but I think Lawless Madman is awesome because he previously sent a plaintiff in, and now he wants to send this plaintiff in too?]
[How is that possible? The case still needs evidence, and it's clear that Cai Qian committed a crime, no matter what Gu Chen says, he has to follow the law, how could Zhao Lele be convicted?]
Viewers were bewildered and began discussing.
No matter how strong Gu Chen is, he can't ignore the truth and the law, right?
Some male viewers started posting comments.
[Awesome, if Gu Chen can really send Little Fairy in, I'll definitely reward him with a carnival!]
[I'll reward too, count me in!!]
[Send Zhao Lele in, how could that be? There's no evidence!]
[But if Gu Chen really pulls it off, I'll surely splurge on big gifts!!]
Many women were also commenting.
[Ridiculous, Gu Chen is just talking nonsense every day, as if he can really win this case.]
[Cai Qian definitely committed rape, and Gu Chen is just spouting nonsense, does he really think he's invincible after winning two cases?]
[No way, no way, does anyone really think Gu Chen can win?]
....
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the courtroom remained very serious.
Zhao Lele thought Gu Chen was purely there to joke around, thinking the case was already secured.
And Zhao Lele's defense lawyer, Zhao Yu, didn't take Gu Chen seriously either.
Zhao Yu, as a top lawyer, had anticipated all the possible arguments Gu Chen might make.
Zhao Yu had everything planned out, no matter what Gu Chen said in defense, he had a counter-plan.
Only with what Gu Chen said now, about sending Zhao Lele in, did Zhao Yu not anticipate at all.
At that moment, Zhao Yu raised his hand.
Presiding judge Zhao Zhichao noticed, "The plaintiff's lawyer may speak."
Zhao Yu said, "I consider the four claims made by the defense lawyer to be utter nonsense! The court is sacred! If the defense lawyer doesn't have the evidence they should have, I request that the defense lawyer immediately leave the premises, to not interfere with the normal proceedings of the judiciary."
Zhao Yu came up intending to have Gu Chen dismissed.
Gu Chen said, "Which of my points does the plaintiff's lawyer consider nonsense? Which point interferes with the normal proceedings of the judiciary?"
Zhao Yu said, "The first point! You claim that Cai Qian had no rape conduct, no crime? We have a DNA test report and Lele's testimony, how do you explain that?"
Gu Chen took a sip of water, "What does the DNA test report prove? The DNA test report only shows that two people had relations, does that necessarily prove rape? What does the DNA test report alone demonstrate?"
Zhao Yu said, "The defense lawyer is being unreasonable, Your Honor, I file a complaint! I believe the defense lawyer has no basic understanding of the law, no basic judgment ability! I request Your Honor to have the defense lawyer leave immediately!"
Gu Chen said, "Your Honor, I file a complaint, I believe the plaintiff's lawyer is committing a personal attack, just because you think I don't have basic legal knowledge doesn't make it true? I could say you have no mother, does that actually mean you don't have a mother?"
"How could a lawyer who passed the bar exam not understand basic legal principles? Or does the plaintiff's lawyer think my bar license is bought?"
"The plaintiff's lawyer, without reason, wants me out, that's what's interfering with the normal proceedings of the judiciary, I request the plaintiff's lawyer to leave immediately!"
