Seeing netizens starting to make memes, Jiang Chen rolled his eyes.

Those guys have dug up this old dirt from ages ago again!

Good thing...

Many netizens nowadays just use memes.

Basically, no one took it seriously.

Jiang Chen certainly wouldn't stoop to the level of netizens.

They're just interested in using memes.

Unlike before, she no longer has any opinions about herself.

Just as he was about to speak, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Helped netizen Xiao Zhou resolve the issue of classifying harassment by a deaf-mute person using sign language, earning the other party's gratitude points: +100!]

[Current points: 200!]

Hearing this, Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment.

100 point?

The previous two questions were both worth 50 points, but this time the number has doubled!

He blinked, pondered for a moment, and quickly realized what was happening.

The points awarded depend on the difficulty and depth of the question!

The delivery driver's question was bizarre.

However, the causal relationship is clear in law, making the issue relatively simple.

The issue of death row inmates is also a case of conceptual misalignment.

It can be explained in three sentences.

However, the issue of harassment of deaf and mute people using sign language involves the distinction between physical and verbal harassment.

It also needs to take into account the specific circumstances of special groups, making it significantly more difficult!

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen's lips curled up slightly.

"Looking at it this way, getting points doesn't seem so difficult!"

He sat up straight, his tone becoming more relaxed.

"Okay, let's move on to the next one!"

Jiang Chen then asked the next netizen to come up on the microphone, following the established order.

The call was connected quickly.

A young man's voice came from the other side.

"Hello, Attorney Jiang, my name is Xiao Zheng, and I'm a waiter."

"I'm a little confused about the legal aspects."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Um... is there a problem?"

Xiao Zheng cleared his throat, his tone very serious.

"Attorney Jiang, I have a hypothetical question, please don't mind."

"If... I am sentenced to nine years and eight months in prison by the court, but I have obsessive-compulsive disorder and can't stand the odd number, I always feel that the numbers are not right."

"I want to ask if I can apply to the court to have my sentence reduced to a full ten years?"

The moment the question was posed, the air seemed to fall silent.

Jiang Chen paused for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Well……"

Jiang Chen scratched his head, somewhat bewildered.

"What the heck? Say it again, please!"

This guy...does he even know what he's talking about?!

Xiao Zheng repeated it again, his tone very serious.

"The court sentenced me to nine years and eight months in prison, but I have obsessive-compulsive disorder and want to change it to ten years."

"I'm willing to fill those extra four months!"

"Can I apply for this?"

Jiang Chen's expression turned blank as he stared blankly at the screen.

It seems to be asking a question.

Are you serious?

Faced with this question, viewers in the live stream couldn't hold back any longer.

【?????】

[Nine years and eight months changed to ten years? And some people even voluntarily extend their sentences?]

This guy is amazing! He's going to serve an extra four months in jail because of his obsessive-compulsive disorder!

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

This guy definitely has some unusual fetishes!

[Judge: I've sentenced people to twenty years, and I've seen them plead for a reduced sentence, but I've never seen them plead for an increased sentence!]

This is true obsessive-compulsive disorder! It's gotten to this point!

[Anyone with OCD who can explain this to me, is this really possible?]

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and rubbed his temples.

Looking at the camera, a helpless smile appeared on his face.

"Family members, what do you think...?"

"Would the court allow this behavior?"

Viewers in the live stream started discussing, and the comments were divided into several camps:

[Absolutely not! The law is serious; how can you arbitrarily change sentences?]

[I think it's okay, right? Doesn't the law also have a humanistic aspect? Obsessive-compulsive disorder is an illness too!]

No, no, this is adding to your sentence, not reducing it. Sentence reduction has conditions, I've never heard of adding to it!

Theoretically, a defendant cannot voluntarily request a harsher punishment, right? That doesn't make sense!

What if he really can't handle that number? Mental illness is an illness too!

[The law is not a game; you can't just change numbers because they're not aligned. It's not that simple!]

I think it depends on the situation. If the obsessive-compulsive disorder is really severe, the judge might consider it?

Jiang Chen and other netizens debated for a while before slowly speaking.

"Okay, now I'll tell you the answer."

He sat up straight, his expression becoming serious.

"First of all, the conclusion is absolutely not! There are three reasons."

"First, sentencing is a judicial decision made by the court based on a comprehensive consideration of factors such as the facts of the crime, the circumstances, the social harm, and the defendant's attitude towards admitting guilt. Once a verdict is pronounced, it cannot be changed except through legal procedures!"

"Sentence reduction is based on legal grounds, such as good behavior or meritorious service during imprisonment. This is clearly stipulated in Article 78 of the Criminal Law."

"But adding a sentence... has no legal basis whatsoever!"

"You can't request a heavier penalty just because you think the numbers look bad; there's no legal procedure for that!"

Jiang Chen's tone was very serious.

Just like the law, it is a serious matter and cannot be taken lightly!

Jiang Chen paused for a moment, then continued.

"Secondly, the sentence is determined precisely to the day. Nine years and eight months is exactly nine years and eight months. Every minute and every second is a conclusion reached by the judge through careful consideration!"

"If you can change a number just because you think it's not right, then can you change it to nine years if the next prisoner thinks ten years is too long, and to seven years if the next one thinks eight years is unlucky?"

"The law is not a marketplace; you can't bargain, and you certainly can't raise the price!"

"Third, obsessive-compulsive disorder is a mental illness that deserves understanding and sympathy, but the court is not a mental health clinic."

"If you really have obsessive-compulsive disorder, you can apply for psychological treatment during your incarceration. The prison has corresponding medical and psychological counseling services."

"But the sentence itself... cannot be changed because of your personal preference!"

After hearing Jiang Chen's explanation, the viewers in the live stream suddenly understood.

Even if someone voluntarily requests an extended sentence, that's absolutely unacceptable!

Jiang Chen picked up the water, took two sips, and said solemnly.

"Family members, the law is serious and not to be trifled with; no one can influence or change it."

"This is the authority of the law!"

Xiao Zheng was silent for a few seconds before realizing what was happening.

"Okay... I understand."

"Thank you, Attorney Jiang!"

The live stream ended there.

[Ding! Helped netizen Xiao Zheng understand the basic principles of sentencing, earning him gratitude points: +50!]

[Current points: 250!]

Jiang Chen looked at the score and his lips twitched.

250.

That's quite fitting for that question!

He glanced at the time on his phone.

"We're almost at the station, let's connect to the last one."

"Gentlemen, give me a serious, informative question, not a test of my basic legal knowledge!"

Jiang Chen's tone was slightly resentful.

Let the next netizen take the stage in turn.

The live stream connection was established quickly.

A young woman's voice came from the other side.

The other party sounded hurried and anxious.

"Attorney Jiang! We finally got in touch with you!"

"I've been following you for days, but I still can't get in line!"

Jiang Chen sensed that the other person's mood was off, so he sat up straight and stared intently at the camera.

"Hello, is something wrong?"

"No rush, speak slowly..."

The girl took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly.

"Attorney Jiang, I'd like to ask you to represent me in court!"

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

Finally, someone's got someone to sue me!

The speed at which you earn points should be much faster than answering silly questions!

"Don't rush, tell me about the case slowly!"

Jiang Chen said slowly and deliberately.

But the girl was very emotional.

"My sister, she...she's only thirteen!"

"On her way home from school, a few young men asked her for her WeChat, but she refused them on the spot."

"And then those people...actually took action!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat.

To lay a hand on a thirteen-year-old girl?

The girl's voice choked up.

"They beat my sister up...and then ran away! My sister is still in the ICU!"

"The doctor said... there's a blood clot in my brain, and we don't know when it will recover!"

"Attorney Jiang, please... help us!"
