As soon as the girl finished speaking, the surroundings seemed to fall silent instantly.

Jiang Chen's expression also changed.

This case involves a minor!

It is important to understand that any case involving minors carries greater significance.

not to mention……

This is still a thirteen-year-old girl!

Viewers in the live stream were also outraged.

What?! A thirteen-year-old girl was admitted to the ICU?! Is she even human?!

[Holy crap... a bunch of young lads beating up a thirteen-year-old girl, have they no shame?!]

[They assaulted someone because they weren't given WeChat contact information—what kind of animalistic logic is that?]

[Jiang Chen, take this case. If you help them, I'll send you a rocket!]

This kind of person must be severely punished and not let off lightly!

Why not just sentence him to death?

The matter was rather complicated, so Jiang Chen did not answer rashly.

Instead, they comforted the other person.

"Little sister, calm down first."

"I have a question for you: what kind of punishment would you like the other person to receive?"

Regarding the sentencing, the plaintiff's needs should still be respected.

I must try my best to meet the plaintiff's requirements.

The girl's voice was trembling with tears as she answered.

"I want them to go to jail, to go to jail for life!"

"My sister is still in the ICU. The doctor said that even if she wakes up, she may have long-term effects..."

"Why can they get away with assaulting someone? Why?!"

Her tone was somewhat hysterical.

This is normal; after all, many people would find it difficult to remain calm when their family members encounter such a situation.

Now, his own family members are being harmed.

The fact that the perpetrator was unharmed is what truly breaks her heart!

Since they hit someone, they should be taught what pain is!

Jiang Chen nodded seriously.

"Okay, then I'll tell you what punishment they will receive according to the law."

He sat up straight and began to introduce himself slowly.

According to Article 234 of the Criminal Law, anyone who intentionally injures another person, causing serious injury, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years.

"Anyone who causes death or serious injury resulting in severe disability through particularly cruel means shall be sentenced to imprisonment for not less than ten years, life imprisonment, or death!"

After introducing the criminal law, Jiang Chen began analyzing the case.

"First of all, your sister was beaten into the ICU with a brain hemorrhage and was in a coma for two days. This falls under the category of serious injury, and it was caused directly by violent means!"

"If the injury assessment determines it to be serious injury, the assailant will face a minimum of three years and a maximum of ten years in prison!"

"If the injury results in severe disability or involves other particularly egregious circumstances, the sentence could be more than ten years!"

Violent assault cases are considered a relatively serious category under the entire criminal law.

Jiang Chen then paused for a moment before adding more.

"Furthermore, according to Article 293 of the Criminal Law, the crime of 'picking quarrels and provoking trouble'—whoever arbitrarily assaults another person, if the circumstances are egregious, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years, criminal detention, or public surveillance!"

"Several people ganging up on a thirteen-year-old girl constitutes arbitrary assault and is a heinous act!"

"Choose the more serious offense from the two!"

"Intentional injury resulting in serious bodily harm is even more serious than disorderly conduct; the principal offender faces at least three years in prison and up to ten years!"

"Accomplices may receive sentences of up to three years or probation, depending on their level of involvement."

"But regardless, they can't escape criminal liability!"

Jiang Chen's explanation calmed the girl down a bit.

Jiang Chen's tone then turned cold.

"Finally, we also need to consider their age, between sixteen and eighteen. According to Article 17 of the Criminal Law, anyone who has reached the age of sixteen and commits a crime shall bear criminal responsibility!"

"Persons aged 14 to 16 who commit crimes such as intentional homicide, intentional injury causing serious injury or death, or rape shall also bear criminal responsibility!"

"If they are old enough, they can all be sentenced!"

"Being a minor doesn't grant you immunity from punishment!"

Upon hearing this, the viewers in the live stream instantly went wild!

[Good! Three years minimum, ten years maximum! Let's get these little bastards on board!]

Even if they were truly minors, why didn't they consider that they were minors when they hit someone?

Jiang Chen is right, being a minor is not an excuse!

I'm just worried that their family is rich and can use money to smooth things over...

[So what if you're rich? Does having money give you the right to beat people up? Everyone is equal before the law!]

Exactly! This is clearly no small matter; how much money could possibly cover it up?

Listening to Jiang Chen's analysis, the girl felt a glimmer of hope.

"Attorney Jiang, the court of first instance has already ruled in our favor, ordering them to pay us 1.5 million yuan in compensation!"

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised: "The first trial has already reached a verdict?"

"Um."

The girl responded, "But... those families are rich, and I heard they've already hired some very good lawyers and are preparing for a second appeal."

"They said... the second instance court will overturn the first instance judgment, leaving us with nothing!"

"My parents were devastated after hearing this. We can't afford a good lawyer, and we really don't know what to do!"

Her voice choked up again.

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

This situation is indeed despairing.

Unexpectedly, those energetic young men also came from wealthy families.

They will probably hire a famous lawyer to help defend them!

This case is even more difficult than my last lawsuit!

Jiang Chen was silent for a few seconds, then smiled easily.

"hehe……"

"You said they're rich and hired very good lawyers?"

"Then let them pay!"

Jiang Chen was not afraid of facing an unknown opponent.

Some were even eager to try!

"Those young men's behavior was so egregious; a second trial can't be resolved simply by changing lawyers!"

"The opposing lawyer can at most request a reduction in the compensation, which would be the best outcome."

"But...I have a little plan!"

Jiang Chen smiled and stretched his right index finger upwards.

I wonder what he's thinking.

If I help her complete the second trial, I'll definitely get a lot of points.

"Really?"

The girl's tone was one of surprise.

"What preparations do I need to make?"

Jiang Chen nodded and calmly explained.

"When you get back, prepare the first-instance judgment, the injury assessment report, the hospital medical records and payment receipts, the police's case filing notice, etc.! Also, make a copy of the other party's appeal documents!"

"If possible... I'd like to come over tomorrow and discuss this in person!"

"I'll represent you in court when the second trial begins!"

"I'd like to see which lawyer can turn black into white!"

Hearing this, the girl's voice trembled with excitement.

"Thank you so much, Attorney Jiang! Thank you so much!"

"I'll go back and tell my parents right away!"

The live stream ended quickly.

The live stream chat was flooded with comments!

Jiang Chen is awesome! This is a real lawyer!

Teacher Jiang, what's on your mind? Share your plan with us!

[Upstairs, I suspect you're making a sexual innuendo, but I have no proof!]

[The car wheel practically ran over your face, and you're telling me there's no evidence?]

[Holy crap, they can even drive on this crappy road!]
