Chapter 133 The Last Chance!

Jiang Chen glanced at the two of them with a cold gaze and spoke indifferently.

"You two just testified in court that you communicated politely throughout the process, and there was no coercion or intimidation. You were just chatting casually after drinking and were unaware of the situation."

"We have irrefutable audio evidence here; every word you uttered was a threat, every sycophantic threat!"

"Your statements in court are seriously contradictory to the objective evidence, and your claims are completely inconsistent!"

"This is sufficient proof that you two made false statements in court, deliberately concealed your wrongdoings, and attempted to deceive the court!"

"All the oral testimonies you've given are now legally invalid and should not be accepted by the court!"

In one sentence, he completely blocked all avenues for the other party to argue!

The live stream chat exploded with excitement, and the screen was instantly flooded with comments!

[Brilliant! Playing the recording on the spot to slap them in the face, a resounding slap!]

[You were just talking about polite communication? Threatening a pregnant woman and her child, is that what you call politeness?]

Lying in court to deceive the court—that's incredibly audacious!

[Their testimonies are null and void! No one believes a single word they say now!]

To stubbornly deny and argue in the face of irrefutable evidence is simply inviting humiliation!

This is how you deal with a seasoned veteran like that!

The two plaintiffs hung their heads, their faces pale, and dared not utter another word in their defense.

The lie was exposed in public, and the two men lost all face, sitting stiffly in their seats the entire time, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

With this, the evidence presentation and examination phase of this case has come to an end.

Presiding Judge Wu Song reviewed the entire court transcript with a solemn expression.

"Upon verification by the court, the key points of contention in this case can be summarized into three items."

"First, should the defendant's actions of avoiding the danger while driving at the time of the incident be classified as emergency avoidance, legitimate self-defense, or negligent criminal offense?"

"Second, how should the causal relationship of the victim's death be determined, and how should the responsibilities of each party be defined?"

"Third, do the actions of the three individuals involved that night—surrounding, intimidating, and vandalizing the car—constitute 'an ongoing and continuous unlawful infringement'?"

"With the key issues in dispute clear, this case has entered the stage of free debate in court!"

"The trial consisted of two rounds of free debate. In the first round, the plaintiff's representative spoke first."

After the free debate phase ended, they lost the opportunity to compile the interpretation.

Therefore, in this stage, they must ensure that their views are firmly imprinted in the judge's mind!

Ye Heng took a deep breath and stood up again to speak.

Even when the situation became completely unfavorable, he was still unwilling to give up.

"Presiding Judge, Judges!"

"Regardless of whether the other party has engaged in disruptive behavior beforehand, the right to life is paramount!"

He changed his perspective, prioritizing the right to life.

"The defendant used a motor vehicle as a tool to cause death, resulting in extremely serious harm!"

"Even if the other party was at fault, the defendant's defensive measures clearly exceeded the limits. He should be convicted and sentenced for negligent homicide, with a discretionary reduction in punishment, rather than being completely acquitted!"

Ye Heng's argument was brief and forceful.

His logic hasn't changed either.

The dead are always right, and the weak are always innocent!

After saying that, he sat down.

The presiding judge nodded and turned his gaze to the first row of the audience.

"Now, we invite the deceased's family to give their comments."

Immediately afterwards, several figures slowly stood up in the first row of the audience.

They are the deceased's family members.

Several people had tears streaming down their faces, their expressions filled with grief.

The moment she opened her mouth, it was a tearful accusation!

"Your Honor, he's our only breadwinner!"

"With my husband gone, there's no one to care for our elderly parents, no one to look after our children. How will our family survive?"

The first person to speak was a middle-aged woman in her forties.

She was the deceased's wife.

Then, the old lady next to her also started crying, her nose running and her face stinging.

"Even if my child was wrong for drinking that night, at most he'll cause trouble, at most he'll have to pay compensation and apologize!"

"He didn't deserve to die! How could he be run over and killed by a car!"

As she spoke, the old woman's body trembled slightly.

Another middle-aged woman on the far right immediately helped her up; her eyes were also red-rimmed.

"We don't care about the cause and effect, or who's right and who's wrong!"

"My brother is gone, and that's it!"

"Since the defendant caused a death, he must bear the responsibility!"

"You must pay compensation and serve your sentence! Otherwise, my family will never accept it!"

The family members became increasingly agitated as they spoke, their cries growing hoarse.

Their words completely avoided mentioning any of the faults of their own relatives!

They only talk about results, only play the victim, and only talk about losses!

Upon seeing this, viewers in the live stream were instantly outraged!

[I hate this kind of thing the most! They're arrogant and domineering when they're causing trouble, but they start playing the victim when someone dies!]

[An apology and a fine at most? Bullshit! The pregnant woman was almost scared to death, and the fetus was nearly harmed—what about that?]

[He brought this upon himself by crashing his car and dying, then turned around and demanded that others go to jail and pay compensation? Such blatant double standards!]

Reason and emotion cannot override legal principles! Why should others be held responsible for a death caused by a disturbance?

"I could tell what kind of person the deceased was just by listening to them talk!"

They're definitely after the money; their family relationships probably aren't very good either!

In the audience, many people frowned, speechless at the family's robber-like logic.

The presiding judge raised his gavel and brought it down heavily.

Boom!

"We urge the deceased's family to remain calm. This court will base its judgment on facts and the law, and will render a ruling accordingly!"

"There will absolutely be no act of favoritism or bending the law!"

The family members sat down, choking back tears, their faces full of grievance.

Their expressions seemed pitiful, but the words they just said were extremely arrogant!

The presiding judge then looked toward the defendant's dock.

"Defendant, you may make your own statement in court."

Dong Xin looked up, his eyes bloodshot, and slowly stood up.

Compared to the emotionally distraught family members of the deceased, he remained calm.

It seems that for him, the outcome is no longer important.

"Your Honor, I have never had any intention of harming anyone."

Dong Xin shook his head and said calmly.

"That night, my wife and I were surrounded by them in the underground parking garage. My wife is pregnant, and they threatened us, smashed our car, and blocked our way."

"All my actions were solely to protect my wife, to protect the child in her womb, and to ensure my own escape and survival."

"I had no intention of harming anyone, nor did I ever intend to kill anyone."

"I earnestly request the court to consider the facts of that night, give me a lenient sentence, and render a fair and just judgment in accordance with the law."

After finishing his statement, Dong Xin bowed slightly toward the judge's bench and sat down calmly.

Dong Xin had seen all of Jiang Chen's efforts.

Even if he is not ultimately found guilty of self-defense, Dong Xin will not blame Jiang Chen.

after all……

Life is at stake.

Seeing Dong Xin's resigned expression, the presiding judge nodded.

"Please allow the defendant's representative to speak!"

Finally, it was time for the most important speech!

Jiang Chen stood up straight, his posture upright and his aura calm.

At this moment, the entire venue was completely silent!

Everyone knows that whether this case can be defined as legitimate self-defense depends entirely on Jiang Chen's final defense.

If we lose this round, all our previous efforts will be in vain.
