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

Next, it was Jiang Chen's turn to examine the evidence.

His opinion was unanimous: "The victim's representative had no objection to the authenticity, relevance, and legality of the documentary evidence."

"The financial records match perfectly with the prepayments and remaining balances of the twelve elderly people."

"The unfair contract terms were pre-set with a profit-making purpose, and the driving records corresponded perfectly with the defendant's confession and the time of abandonment, providing complete evidence of the criminal loop!"

Now, Gao Jianming's face grew even uglier.

But he still had to bite the bullet and argue: "The contract is a standard industry clause, and the family members signed it voluntarily."

"Furthermore... the vehicle dispatch record cannot prove that it was for abandoning an elderly person; it may have been for work."

Hearing this, many people were so angry they laughed.

Even Gao Jianming himself didn't quite believe what he was saying!

Fu Chengyu, standing beside him, quickly added, "The defense argues that the contract terms are a civil agreement and do not constitute criminal fraud."

"Driving records can only prove that the vehicle was traveling, but cannot prove the people in the vehicle or the purpose of the trip, and cannot be directly equated with abandonment."

Therefore, this set of documentary evidence is not directly related to the charge of intentional homicide!

Upon hearing this, the live chat erupted in boos.

【？？？？？】

[Holy crap, there's no direct link yet! They won't admit anything until they see irrefutable evidence!]

[It's basically just stalling for time, betting that the other side won't get the crucial, irrefutable evidence!]

[They claim it's an industry-standard policy? Which company in the industry universally refuses to refund money if they fail?]

Driving to a remote area at 2 AM to work? Who are you kidding?!

[This guy is really good at arguing; he's already presented with all the evidence and he's still being stubborn!]

There's no way around it; as long as the money's there, they'll make even black seem white!

"The third group: witness testimonies."

The prosecutor remained unfazed and continued to present evidence.

"It includes the interrogation record of Su Nian, the caregiver on duty on the night of the incident, as well as witness testimonies from former employees of the nursing home and surrounding farmers."

"The testimony fully reconstructs the entire operational process of the nursing home administering prohibited drugs, delaying treatment, abandoning the elderly late at night, and then coordinating their statements afterward, which is basically consistent with the testimonies of several defendants in court."

"Witness Su Nian applied not to appear in court to testify due to concerns for her personal safety. The public security authorities have taken protective measures against her, and the entire questioning process was legal and valid."

Upon hearing Su Nian's name, Gao Jianming suddenly looked up, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes, and immediately retorted.

"She's dissatisfied with me and deliberately slandering me! Her testimony is unreliable!"

Jiang Chen spoke again at this moment, his tone calm, yet every word was forceful.

"The victim's representative believes that Su Nian's testimony is highly consistent with the court statements of the four defendants, Wang Hao, Lü Qian, Zhang Ting, and Liu Jun, with complete correspondence in details. It is not an isolated piece of evidence and has extremely strong probative value."

"Witnesses who have been threatened with personal injury for exposing crimes are not allowed to appear in court to testify, which is in accordance with the law, and their testimonies are legal and valid."

Fu Chengyu immediately retorted: "The defense argues that Su Nian is a former employee who has a conflict of interest with the nursing home, and her testimony is subjective and lacks credibility, and should not be used as the core basis for the verdict."

Both sides presented their own versions of events, and the presiding judge took careful notes, signaling for the presentation of further evidence.

"Fourth group, expert opinion."

The prosecutor read out two authoritative reports in court.

"The first test report, issued by the Municipal Drug Inspection Institute, confirmed that the drug in question contained a nationally controlled sedative ingredient. Long-term use would seriously damage the central nervous system and accelerate organ failure, posing a clear health hazard to elderly people with serious illnesses."

"The second document, the forensic pathology report, confirms that the cause of death of the elderly victim was directly related to long-term ingestion of sedative drugs, exposure to low temperatures in the wild, and delayed treatment."

This is a professional appraisal report; it is scientific, objective, and irrefutable!

Gao Jianming swayed after hearing this, his face turning completely ashen.

Jiang Chen stated in a deep voice: "The victim's representative has no objection to the expert opinion."

"This set of evidence directly proves that the drugs in question were the tools used by the defendant to commit the injury, and that the act of abandonment directly led to the death of the elderly person, demonstrating clear subjective intent to recklessly abandon the drug."

Fu Chengyu's defense was noticeably weaker, but he still refused to admit anything.

"The defense did not dispute the authenticity of the expert report, but argued that the elderly man's advanced age and serious illness were the primary causes of death, the medication was only a secondary factor, and the abandonment was merely an intervening factor in the death, and therefore could not be used to determine intentional homicide."

Viewers in the live stream were quick to complain.

Still being stubborn!

[Tsk tsk tsk! They won't shed a tear until they see the coffin!]

[If there's a direct causal relationship, why call it an intervening factor? Was law taught by a PE teacher?]

[PE teacher: I'm not taking the blame for this!]

[Knowing the medicine would accelerate exhaustion, knowing throwing him in the wild would result in death, and still claiming it wasn't intentional?]

[They're blatantly lying for money.]

"Group 5, audiovisual materials."

As soon as the prosecutor finished speaking, the courtroom screen lit up.

The first segment shows high-definition night vision surveillance footage of an orchard along the national highway.

At 2 a.m., a private van belonging to Anze Nursing Home parked in the deserted area, a person carried a thin figure out and placed him on the roadside, and then drove away.

The footage clearly captures the vehicle's markings, license plate outline, and the clothing of the people inside.

It completely matches the defendant's confession.

The second segment consists of footage of the nursing home's internal back-end video, which was recovered by technicians. This footage confirms that the night patrol logs were signed in batches afterward and that medication records were tampered with.

After the two videos finished playing, the courtroom was deathly silent.

Gao Jianming stared intently at the screen, his whole body ice-cold, his fingertips trembling slightly.

This was the evidence he feared most, and the evidence he thought had been completely destroyed long ago!

Jiang Chen, with sharp eyes, testified in court: "The victim's representative has no objection to the authenticity, relevance, or legality of the audiovisual materials."

"The orchard's surveillance cameras directly captured the nursing home's vehicle abandoning the property. Internal video footage proves that the defendant fabricated evidence and covered up their crime. The evidence is irrefutable!"

"No...no..."

Gao Jianming's voice trembled, "This video is so blurry, it can't prove that it was our car, nor can it prove that I sent them there..."

Fu Chengyu took a deep breath and made his final statement.

"The defense argued that the orchard's surveillance cameras were too far away and the images were too blurry to accurately identify the vehicles and people."

"The internal video recording is only a fragment and is incomplete, so it cannot prove that it is systematically fabricated evidence."

"This set of evidence has flaws and cannot be used as the core basis for a verdict!"

All five sets of evidence have been presented.

Physical evidence, documentary evidence, witness testimonies, expert opinions, etc., form a complete chain of evidence, with each link interlocking and corroborating the others.

The presiding judge surveyed the room and asked in a deep voice, "Prosecutor, victim's representative, defendant, defense attorney, is there any new evidence that needs to be presented in court?"

Each person shook their head in turn.

Zhou Mingyuan slammed his gavel down, the sound echoing throughout the courtroom.

"The opinions and comments from all parties have been recorded."

"Next, we will move on to the court debate stage!"
