Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 610: Chapter 401: Xu Liang: Open the Door and Bring Warmth! [Double Chapters—Vote Requested!]

Liu Shi is a judge.

His duty is singular: to adjudicate a case thoroughly and enforce the justice of the law to its fullest.

This matter is not about who is the victim or what the perpetrator did, whether they are criminals.

Therefore, in the case where Sun Hu says nothing...

He would subtly hint to Sun Hu, reminding him to respond correctly to Xu Liang.

It’s quite unfortunate.

Sun Hu lacks the wit to comprehend hints!

Since that’s the case... he won’t persist time and again!

"Everyone rise!"

Upon the bench, presiding judge Liu Shi takes a deep breath, his brow furrowed, then slowly stands up.

Upon hearing these five words.

The entire site immediately falls silent, everyone slowly stands.

Even Xu Liang, sitting in a wheelchair, stood up, making some people look again and again in astonishment.

As for Sun Hu and the other...

The two are quite bewildered, unable to distinguish what is happening until the next second when they hear the sound concerning Liu Shi.

"This case, Upper City’s Torch Avenue Postal Stamp case, occurred on October 9th, at 1 p.m."

"During the case."

"Defendants Sun Hu and Sun Biao committed robbery; during their escape, they were fully aware that their dangerous actions could cause death yet did not prevent it."

"Four innocent people were severely injured, two lightly injured, and the robbed Liu Ping became permanently disabled!"

"They violated Eastern Country’s laws on robbery, attempted murder, intentional bodily harm, and public safety endangerment..."

Listening to this string of statements.

Sun Hu’s eyes suddenly showed shock.

Such words spoken by Xu Liang were mere opinions and statements, but if said by a judge...

It was the final word on the matter!

No doubt about it!

In the next second, Liu Shi lifted his head; those sharp eyes fixed on the two.

"Sentencing the mastermind of this case, Sun Hu, to death; considering no fatalities occurred, execution deferred for two years!"

"Sentencing the accomplice, Sun Biao, to life imprisonment, effective immediately!"

"Do the defendants accept the verdict?"

Robbery is a grave offense.

According to the law, resulting in four severe injuries, one permanent disability... Even sentencing Liu Ping to death would be reasonable!

Fortunately, Sun Hu did not commit ’absolute slaughter’; otherwise, it wouldn’t be such a simple deferred death sentence!

However!

Even if not a direct execution, these sentences are by no means light!

"Life? Deferred death!?"

Upon hearing these four words instantly.

Sun Hu and Sun Biao couldn’t contain their panic in their eyes, trembling in their hearts, completely unaware of what they did wrong.

"No, I just stole something; why am I sentenced to death!?"

Sun Hu immediately rebounded, as if electricity coursed through him, anxiously speaking.

Death sentence!

Even if he managed to evade deferred death, life imprisonment awaited him!

Sun Biao, equally panic-stricken, was stunned; his life sentence was discouraging, and if he misbehaved in prison, he might never come out!

It’s akin to killing them!

"I reject this!" Sun Biao loudly proclaimed.

Upon the bench.

Liu Shi shows slight impatience in his eyes, but still takes a deep breath, speaking gently:

"If the defendants reject the current ruling, they may appeal and submit new evidence to Upper City High Court for retrial."

"In this case, I now announce..."

"Court adjourned!"

With that said.

Liu Shi turns and leaves without a glance back, leaving the crowd with his silhouette.

Reject the verdict?

Then appeal!

During the first trial’s ruling, many reject it, but judges needn’t bother.

As Liu Shi leaves, Sun Hu and Sun Biao’s faces turn pale, their minds feeling swollen, entirely blank.

The audience behind them is filled with astonishment.

"Deferred death? This case got deferred death!?"

"Tsk, Lawyer Xu is quite meticulous; turning a theft case into a death sentence... Those two are indeed unlucky!"

"Shh~ Calling Lawyer Xu meticulous... Keep it quiet, careful not to be heard!"

"Hehe, when did I insult him? I just haven’t finished speaking... Besides, Lawyer Xu was indeed lawful, all were Sun Hu and Sun Biao’s deeds, karma is self-imposed!"

"..."

Listening to the commotion behind him.

Sun Hu’s face turns increasingly blue, a wave of nausea rises to his heart.

This is fear manifesting!

Deferred death... The best outcome is life imprisonment, spending the rest of life in jail!

He’s just over thirty, still young...

Dazed, a figure flashes in his mind, like grasping at straws, quickly speaking:

"Feng Xiang! Where’s Feng Xiang?!"

"I need my lawyer!!!"

Several bailiffs stepped forward, apprehending the two, proceeding to escort them away regardless of their consent.

"Wait in prison."

Sun Hu and Sun Biao’s faces flushed red, wanting to resist, but this force appears futile against the police.

Soon enough, the two were forcefully taken away.

Prosecution bench.

"Deferred death... Tsk, cases without the opposing lawyer present are easier to win!"

Xu Liang watched this unfold, with a slight sense of reflection on his face, eyes filled with sighs.

Had Feng Xiang been present, victory wouldn’t have come so easily!

After all, just the term ’premeditated murder’ would have seen two lawyers debating for half a month.

"In future, might consider slipping the opposing lawyer laxatives before trial to cause absence."
