Me! A disgraced celebrity! Starting by seeking justice for impoverished students.

All eyes were on Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen remained calm, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.

"First and foremost, judging defensive and risk-avoidance actions must never be done from the detached perspective of an afterthought!"

"We must all fully empathize with the desperate situation the person in was in at the time of the incident!"

Jiang Chen was the first to put forward his point of view.

We must be able to empathize with the victims!

What was the situation at the time?

"In a sealed underground parking garage, late at night with no one to provide assistance, the vehicle was completely blocked, with no way to move forward or backward!"

"Inside the car was my pregnant wife, whose pregnancy was unstable and who was in extreme fear, and our unborn child."

"The defendant made repeated concessions, tolerated the situation, and tried to persuade the defendant, but still could not extricate himself."

"Staying in place will only escalate the conflict, continue to intimidate wives and children, and increase the risks to mothers and infants!"

"In a desperate situation where there was no way to retreat or yield, the defendant attempted to escape the encirclement at low speed."

"This is the only legal, the only reasonable, and the only option for self-preservation!"

Jiang Chen's words were resounding, and many listeners in the audience cast approving glances at him.

In any case, when looking at things, you must try to empathize.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be somewhat one-sided to judge the right or wrong of something from God's perspective?

Not only that, but it's also easy for them to talk when they're not the ones suffering.

The live stream viewers were buzzing with discussion.

[Well said. We should put ourselves in the victim's shoes. From God's perspective, everyone knows what to do!]

There is no such thing as true empathy in this world!!! (Painful face)

[To the person upstairs: First, I understand what you mean; second... it's summer vacation now, I can't protect you anymore.]

[The private message I just sent to the person above has a red exclamation mark. Good job, the defense measures are well done!]

Indeed, no one can truly empathize; his despair at that moment was something no one else could feel.

[Actually, if I imagined myself in the same situation as him, I wouldn't know what to do either.]

Those who nowadays stand on a detached, God-like perspective, telling others to handle things calmly, are simply talking without understanding the situation!

Jiang Chen turned his gaze to the judge's bench and changed the subject.

"Secondly, the illegal infringement involved in this case never ceased; it was ongoing throughout!"

"The three men smashed windows, pulled on doors, surrounded and chased the pregnant woman, and threatened her; their vicious behavior never stopped."

"The defendant's level of self-defense was completely commensurate with and equivalent to the degree of danger posed by the other party!"

"Our actions fully meet all the statutory requirements for legitimate defense and emergency avoidance under my country's Criminal Law!"

These words established that Dong Xin's actions could be legally recognized as legitimate self-defense.

Whether or not someone is qualified to be convicted of self-defense is also the key point of this defense!

"Third, the three perpetrators knew that there was a pregnant woman in early pregnancy in the car, but they still continued to violently surround and maliciously intimidate her."

"Subjectively, they completely allow the harmful consequences of the pregnant woman being frightened, the fetus being damaged, or even miscarriage to occur!"

"This behavior constitutes 'indirectly and intentionally endangering the lives of mother and child,' which falls under the category of attempted murder!"

"The defendant's actions to protect his close relatives and the life of the unborn child constitute a legitimate right of self-defense granted to every citizen by law!"

Upon hearing this, Dong Xin couldn't help but close his eyes.

Avoiding danger and saving himself is his right to self-defense!

All he did was to protect his family.

Why should protecting one's family result in imprisonment?

Are we just supposed to stand by and watch the danger unfold?

No!

"Finally, the conclusion is reached from the perspective of causation in criminal law."

Jiang Chen continued.

"The deceased ignored warnings and danger, and deliberately jumped towards the slow-moving vehicle, which is a typical case of putting himself in danger."

"Based on the autopsy report, the impact only caused serious injuries. The victim's eventual death was due to subsequent medical intervention and the accumulation of injuries."

"There is no direct criminal causal relationship between the initial collision and the final death."

"Therefore, our client bears no criminal responsibility for the death in this case!"

Jiang Chen's defense was clear in its legal reasoning, logically sound, and every word carried great weight.

Every sentence is cleverly designed.

He also made a lot of preparations for this court hearing.

Jiang Chen's gaze was firm as he bowed to the judge's bench to conclude his bow.

"In conclusion, we respectfully request the panel of judges to consider this!"

"Based on the latest judicial guidelines for protecting the rights of the unborn child, all the objective and irrefutable evidence in the case, and the dire circumstances faced by the parties involved, the defendant Dong Xin's actions are legally determined to constitute legitimate self-defense and emergency avoidance!"

"Defendant Dong Xin is declared not guilty!"

"Justice must not only be done, but it must be seen to be done!"

His final, powerful defense completely stunned the entire audience!

Countless netizens were thrilled, and the barrage of comments was overwhelming!

[A masterpiece! This is the ultimate not-guilty plea!]

[Judging cases without taking a God's-eye view, but only considering the desperate situation of the parties involved—that's incredibly professional!]

The other side's actions constituted indirect, premeditated murder, while our actions were legitimate self-defense. The difference in their stance is immediately apparent!

[After hearing Jiang Chen's defense, the opposing lawyer said: "What else is there to say? We'll give it to them this time!"]

[The opposing lawyer after the meeting: I wasn't in a good state this time, but I'll be sure to do better next time.]

I really think it should be ruled as self-defense, since it was the only thing he could do at the time!

If this can lead to a guilty verdict, I seriously doubt the fairness of the judicial system!

This really makes one curious; what kind of sentence will they receive?

If it reflects the will of the people, then it must be legitimate self-defense!

When courts rule on cases, they also consider public acceptance.

At this moment, the entire venue fell completely silent; no one uttered a sound.

Everyone was completely shocked by Jiang Chen's defense of innocence!

Presiding Judge Wu Song nodded quietly and proceeded with the final stages of the trial in accordance with regulations.

"Both the prosecution and the defense have finished their statements during the court debate in this case, and the court debate is now concluded."

"The defendant will now make his final statement."

As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes in the room once again focused on Dong Xin in the defendant's seat.

Several days of detention in the detention center, days of anxiety and torment, plus restraint and forbearance throughout the trial.

At this moment, it all turned into heartfelt words.

Dong Xin straightened his back, his eyes reddening.

His tone was sincere, and every word came from the bottom of his heart.

"Presiding Judge, Judges."

"During my detention, I repeatedly recalled every detail of that night, and I didn't sleep a wink."

"I swear on my character and conscience that I have never had any intention of harming anyone from beginning to end."

"All the things I did that night were solely for the purpose of protecting my wife and my unborn child."

"I'm just an ordinary husband and an ordinary father; I'm just protecting my family!"

"I am deeply saddened by the loss of life in this case, but I absolutely do not believe that I have committed a crime."

"I earnestly request the panel of judges to consider all the facts of the case, take into account my desperate situation at the time, and render a fair and just judgment in accordance with the law to clear my name!"
