Chief Judge Zhao Zhichao said, "The plaintiff's lawyer's appeal is rejected, and the plaintiff's lawyer is warned once; if the warning reaches three times, the plaintiff's lawyer is to leave the court immediately."
The chief judge knocked the gavel.
Chief Judge Zhao Zhichao looked around the courtroom and said, "The plaintiff's lawyer is to make reasonable and lawful appeals and discussions. This court prohibits personal attacks; continued personal attacks will result in the cancellation of the plaintiff's lawyer's defense qualifications."
Meanwhile, viewers in the livestream were laughing hysterically.
[Hahaha, Lawyer Gu is on the offensive!]
[Thinking you're invincible just because you're a top lawyer, be careful Lawyer Gu might send you in.]
[Gu Chen is awesome, great comeback!]
Zhao Yu's face was dark.
Zhao Yu said, "Then I will refute Lawyer Gu's point directly."
"The DNA test report shows Zhao Lele has Cai Qian's DNA in her body, indicating the two had relations, and since Zhao Lele reported it as rape, it shows Cai Qian committed the act against Zhao Lele's wishes. Therefore, Cai Qian is inherently guilty of rape; he cannot be innocent."
Gu Chen spoke up, "It's true they had relations, but it was after their engagement, and if it were rape, why didn't Zhao Lele call the police immediately? Why did she wait for three days before reporting it?"
"Why didn't Zhao Lele report it immediately after the incident? Why did she demand Cai Qian change the house purchased before marriage to her name during those three days? It was only after Cai Qian refused that Zhao Lele reported rape."
"Was Zhao Lele unable to call the police within those three days? Reporting after three days was nothing more than her deliberately inducing Cai Qian to have relations and then demanding a name change on the house; if Cai Qian refused, she threatened to report it."
Viewers in the livestream were overwhelmingly supporting Gu Chen.
[Lawyer Gu is right, this woman just wants the house; otherwise, why not call the police on the day itself?]
[Disgusting! She just wants the house in her name.]
[Moreover, Zhao Lele wants the house to be in her name in exchange for her to sign the understanding agreement. Honestly disgusting, this person did it on purpose.]
Zhao Lele spoke up, "Because I wanted to give Cai Qian a chance to correct his mistakes, I hoped he would admit fault; if he did, I wouldn't report it. Everyone says a girl's first time is precious, mine was forcibly taken by him, and I wanted an apology, but he didn't and instead escalated."
"If he had apologized, I wouldn't have reported him for rape. It's entirely because he doesn't care about me. I found out that after being with me, he was flirting with other women; he cheated! So I had to report it! He inherently raped me and showed no intention of apologizing."
Zhao Lele finished speaking.
At this time, Cai Qian couldn't help but respond, "What first time? You yourself are unaware of how dark it is down there, still claiming a first time? Still flirting with other women, do you have evidence?"
Zhao Lele said, "Forgot to take screenshots, but anyway, you were flirting with other women; you cheated!"
The two were directly confronting each other in court.
The chief judge Zhao Zhichao knocked the gavel.
"Order in the court!"
Zhao Lele and Cai Qian stopped talking.
Chief Judge said, "If the plaintiff and defendant speak without consent again, the court will take both down."
Chief Judge: "Now, the plaintiff's lawyer may speak."
Zhao Yu: "Chief Judge, I believe that what Lawyer Gu said is all personal speculation and conjecture without reasonable evidence. Regardless of how many days later Zhao Lele reported the rape, it does not relate to Cai Qian's inherent action of rape. Does reporting three days later mean Cai Qian is not guilty of rape?"
"Moreover, we have a recording where Cai Qian verbally admits he committed rape against Zhao Lele. Since Cai Qian has admitted it, I believe this case can be determined."
Chief Judge: "Does the defendant's lawyer have any objections?"
Gu Chen said, "I've listened to this recording; in the transcript after Cai Qian was detained by the police, he did not admit to rape, nor did he explicitly state he committed rape against Zhao Lele."
"It's clear this recording was orchestrated by Zhao Yiping, guiding Cai Qian to admit to rape, so throughout the recording, Zhao Yiping kept repeatedly prompting Cai Qian to confirm it was rape."
"Obviously, Zhao Yiping was prepared to secretly record, so began guiding Cai Qian to admit to rape; otherwise, why would Zhao Yiping start recording secretly?"
"Furthermore, the recording is only one minute, but wasn't Zhao Yiping's full recording longer? Editing and guiding the content; I find this recording evidence invalid."
Gu Chen looked at Cai Qian and said, "Chief Judge, I request for Cai Qian to speak; I want him to tell the public what Zhao Yiping and Zhao Lele's family originally said."
The chief judge agreed.
Cai Qian said, "After the relations, Zhao Lele suddenly got angry and slammed the door and left, but during the relations, she was clearly enjoying it. Then I went to console Zhao Lele, and Zhao Yiping said that if I admitted fault, Zhao Lele wouldn't be angry, and we could get engaged."
"In the car, we talked for about an hour, and I got confused by the conversation. Zhao Lele's mother kept brainwashing me, saying nothing would happen if I admitted fault, saying girls need to be pacified and to voluntarily admit fault."
"In the end, I don't know how it happened; I just confusedly agreed, but I didn't actually rape Zhao Lele. Zhao Lele wasn't a virgin, and she willingly cooperated with me."
"I've finished speaking."
Cai Qian had finished speaking.
Zhao Yu immediately said, "Cai Qian's statement is based on personal speech; I think it lacks legal efficacy and cannot fully restore the truth. To truly restore the facts, we should rely on evidence and not hear what Cai Qian says personally."
"Even if the recording evidence is invalid, how do we explain the hotel surveillance footage?"
"The surveillance shows Zhao Lele trying to escape from the room, but was forcibly brought back by Cai Qian; from the footage, Zhao Lele is clearly seen struggling and resisting."
"Combined with the recording evidence and DNA evidence, it can be concluded that Cai Qian committed rape against Zhao Lele." Zhao Yu said.
Zhao Lele was very satisfied with the star lawyer's performance.
No matter how Gu Chen refuted, it was rape!
Unless Gu Chen can produce surveillance footage from when it happened.
But that was in a private hotel; how could there be surveillance?
So... this case, she will definitely win!
What lawless madman nonsense, it's all ridiculous!
But then....
In the next second, Gu Chen stood up and took out a USB drive from her bag.
"Chief Judge, I have evidence!"
