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

As the presiding judge made his announcement, the atmosphere in the courtroom instantly reached its peak!

The court investigation has presented all the evidence.

The core clash between the prosecution and the defense will unfold in the upcoming courtroom debate phase!

Presiding Judge Zhou Mingyuan calmly swept his gaze across the entire room before announcing in a deep voice: "Next, the prosecutor will first present the prosecution's opinion, followed by the victim's legal representative's opinion, then each defendant will present their own defense, and finally, the defense counsel will present their defense opinions."

"The debate should focus on the facts of the case, the nature of the crime, and the apportionment of responsibility, and must not deviate from the core issues in dispute!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the prosecutor stood up.

He held the indictment in his hand, his voice loud and solemn.

"Your Honorable Presiding Judge and Judges, the prosecutor hereby presents the following prosecution opinion."

"First, the facts of the crime in this case have been clearly established."

The prosecutor's gaze lingered on Gao Jianming.

"The defendant, Gao Jianming, as the actual controller of Anze Nursing Home, led the construction of a complete criminal chain with the aim of illegally appropriating high amounts of prepaid nursing fees."

"First, we target elderly people who have prepaid for several years in advance and whose families rarely visit them. We then arrange for staff to administer illegal sedative drugs to them over a long period of time to accelerate the decline of their physical functions."

"Secondly, after the elderly became critically ill, the nursing home deliberately delayed treatment and provided passive care."

"After the elderly lost their ability to take care of themselves, they assigned a vehicle to abandon them in a deserted area on the outskirts of the city late at night, leaving them to die."

"Afterwards, relying on pre-set unfair terms, they embezzled all the remaining nursing fees."

"This scheme operated for three years, resulting in the deaths of twelve victims and illegal profits totaling over three million yuan!"

"The above facts are supported by physical evidence, documentary evidence, witness testimonies, and other sufficient evidence!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Jianming subconsciously swallowed.

Once the prosecutor opened his mouth, he showed no sign of letting him off the hook!

His crimes should be laid bare.

"second."

The prosecutor continued speaking.

"The charges in this case are accurate."

"Firstly, the defendant knew that the prohibited drugs would endanger the life of an elderly person with a serious illness, and knew that abandoning an elderly person who had lost the ability to move in the middle of the night in a deserted area would inevitably lead to death, yet he repeatedly committed this act, showing indifference to the outcome of death, which constitutes the crime of indirect intentional homicide!"

"Secondly, the defendant, under the guise of providing elderly care services, imposed unfair terms and conditions, and through criminal means caused the death of an elderly person in order to embezzle prepaid funds. The defendant's subjective intent to illegally possess the funds was clear, and this constitutes the crime of fraud!"

Thirdly, the defendant violated national drug administration regulations by illegally purchasing and using state-controlled psychotropic drugs, thus constituting the crime of illegally dealing in drugs!

Fourth, the aforementioned crimes were organized and carried out in the name of Anze Nursing Home, with the profits belonging to the institution, and the decisions were made by the institution's负责人 (person in charge), thus constituting a crime committed by an institution!

"Gao Jianming was the directly responsible supervisor and the principal offender; Wang Hao, Lü Qian, Zhang Ting, and Liu Jun were directly responsible personnel and accomplices!"

His words were a final judgment, labeling everyone guilty.

Not only Gao Jianming, but the others also showed expressions of fear.

In this way, their crimes are now an undeniable fact.

There is absolutely no room for excuses!

"Third, sentencing recommendations in this case."

The prosecutor's gaze swept over the defendant's dock.

"The motives behind this crime were despicable, the methods were covert and cruel, and the consequences were exceptionally severe, resulting in the deaths of twelve innocent lives. This crime seriously violates social ethics and morality, and its social impact is extremely negative!"

"Furthermore, the principal offender, Gao Jianming, refuses to plead guilty and shows no remorse. It is recommended that the collegial panel impose a severe punishment according to the law!"

"The remaining four accomplices pleaded guilty in court, and their sentences can be determined according to the law, taking into account the specific circumstances of their crimes!"

The prosecutor's arguments were logically rigorous and based on sound legal principles; every conclusion was grounded in evidence.

The live stream chat was filled with approval.

[This prosecutor is quite professional!]

[The bags, of course, are always the most professional and high-class for this kind of occasion!]

The logic is so clear! Every point is supported by evidence; there are absolutely no loopholes!

[Twelve lives lost in three years! This nursing home is just a money-driven institution; it's intentional homicide, there's no denying it!]

[Severe punishment for the main culprit is fully supported!]

[What about the others? Although they were just following Gao Jianming's orders, they also committed crimes!]

I'm also puzzled. To say they were unaware... is absolutely impossible! They couldn't possibly not know what they were doing!

After the prosecutor took his seat, the presiding judge looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Please let the victim's legal representative give their opinion."

Jiang Chen slowly stood up and spoke in a loud voice.

"Presiding Judge, Judges."

"The victim's representative hereby submits the following opinion."

"First of all, the victim's representative fully agrees with the prosecutor's findings of fact, characterization of the crime, and distinction between principal and accessory offenders in this case."

"Secondly, regarding this case, the victim's representative would like to add two points."

His gaze swept across the defendant's dock, his tone calm.

"First, this case is by no means the 'management negligence' that the defense previously claimed, but rather a meticulously planned profit-making crime!"

"From the screening criteria for target elderly people, to the procurement and dosage of drugs, the frequency of feeding, to the handling procedures after critical illness, the selection of abandonment locations, and the unified statement afterward, every step is standardized and repeatedly implemented."

"Twelve crimes in three years, all perfectly replicated, without a single deviation."

"This is an organized, premeditated, and systematic crime with a fixed pattern; it is by no means an accidental management oversight!"

Jiang Chen's words settled the matter.

"Secondly, the defendant's subjective intent was clear and strong!"

"The defendant targeted elderly people with serious illnesses, used controlled drugs that accelerate organ failure, and chose deserted, desolate areas late at night. Every action pointed to the same result—the death of the elderly!"

"The defendants did not 'potentially foresee' death, but rather 'inevitably sought' the outcome of death. Only when the elderly died could they legitimately embezzle the remaining hundreds of thousands of yuan."

"This profit-making model, which 'takes death as a necessary prerequisite,' is sufficient proof that the defendant's indifference to the outcome of death constitutes a typical case of indirect intentional homicide, not negligence!"

At this point, Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze and slowly began to speak.

"The twelve victims, who should have been cared for in their later years, became tools for profit in the eyes of the defendants, and died painfully in the erosion of drugs and the cold of the wilderness."

"Their families are still suffering immense grief and anger!"

"In conclusion, the victim's representative requests the collegial panel to find all charges guilty in accordance with the law and to impose a severe sentence on the principal offender, Gao Jianming!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Zhenhai, sitting in the victim's seat, clenched his fists and his eyes reddened.

[Attorney Jiang hit the nail on the head! This is a murder assembly line!]

[Making money with the premise of death, what else could it be but intentional homicide?]

This is outrageous and must be severely punished!

[If I don't get them imprisoned, then I won't approve of Attorney Jiang.]

If I can't get this in, I'll eat the phone screen right now!

[666, the glutton is here!]
