Chapter 51: A 2-year-old boy's attempted murder?
Jiang Chen was stunned when he heard this.
His entire face was covered in question marks.
"Um?"
Will I be expelled from prison if I get into a fight?
No... buddy.
What on earth are you thinking?!
The viewers in the live stream were silent for a moment.
Then things exploded!
【?????】
[Getting expelled from prison for fighting? Where were you expelled to?]
[Expelled from prison...?]
This is an outrageous question, even more absurd than the previous ones!
The word "expulsion" becomes somewhat abstract in the context of prison.
[I'm speechless. What kind of people are asking these questions in this live stream every day?!]
Jiang Chen's lips twitched, and he rubbed his temples.
He took a deep breath and then sat up straight.
He spoke earnestly:
"Okay, I'll answer you."
"First of all, prison is not a school, and there is no such thing as expulsion."
"Your friend won't be discharged from prison for fighting because he's an inmate and can't be released early before his sentence is served."
"And... he won't be released just because he got into a fight; on the contrary, he'll only be released later!"
Jiang Chen held up one finger and began to list them carefully.
"First, fighting in prison is a serious violation of prison rules and regulations. According to the Prison Law, for inmates who engage in fighting, intentionally injuring others, or other similar behavior during their sentence, the prison can issue warnings, record demerits, and in serious cases, impose solitary confinement! The minimum period is three days, and the maximum is fifteen days!"
"Secondly, if the fight results in minor injuries or worse, the nature of the crime changes! It's no longer just a violation of prison rules, but a crime of intentional assault! The prison will transfer the case to the procuratorate, and the sentence may be increased!"
"Third, even if no minor injuries were caused, fighting is a serious disciplinary offense that can affect your friend's chances of sentence reduction and parole. According to relevant regulations, inmates with serious disciplinary records will be ineligible to apply for sentence reduction for a certain period!"
Jiang Chen finished speaking in a series of sentences before stopping and looking at the camera.
"So your friend won't be expelled. But he'll be put in solitary confinement, have his sentence extended, or have his sentence reduction postponed."
"In serious cases, the time spent in prison will only increase, not decrease."
"Let him serve his sentence properly and stop fighting."
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end, then a muffled voice said, "Thank you, Attorney Jiang. I know I was wrong... uh, no!"
"My friend knows he was wrong!"
After saying that, the other party immediately hung up the call.
At this moment, the viewers in the live stream vaguely understood.
[Hahaha... This netizen, answer me honestly, could this friend you're talking about be yourself?!]
[He's already let it slip!]
[Wow! Jiang Chen's answer was so professional!]
Even a fool knows that fighting in prison will only make things worse!
It's hard to imagine that someone would choose to fight in prison just to get out!
There are all sorts of people in the world!
[That's normal; we must respect biodiversity!]
Jiang Chen watched the comments, silently picked up his water glass, and took a sip.
"Alright, does anyone have any questions? Keep it simple!"
"If you ask any more random questions, I might not answer them anymore!"
Soon, Jiang Chen randomly selected another online friend.
The live stream connection was established quickly.
"Waaaaah..."
A childish voice, trembling with tears, came from the other side.
Judging from the voice, it sounds like a little boy.
"Attorney Jiang, I... I think I've committed a crime..."
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, blinked, and looked clearly incredulous.
"How old are you?"
Jiang Chen continued to ask.
"Twelve years old..."
Jiang Chen's lips twitched, feeling both amused and exasperated.
"Twelve years old?"
"You're only twelve years old, what law could you possibly break?"
"What's wrong? Did you not finish your homework or did you spend money on games?"
Viewers in the live stream chat started discussing it.
[Only twelve years old? Kid, have you wandered onto the wrong set?!]
At this age... at most, they'll get a beating from their parents, what law could they possibly break?
That's not entirely true; a twelve-year-old can actually be criminally responsible!
[Is this for real? A twelve-year-old can be sentenced?]
It is possible to make a judgment, but there are strict limitations.
The Criminal Law stipulates that individuals aged twelve or older who commit particularly serious crimes such as intentional homicide or intentional injury resulting in death can be prosecuted with the approval of the Supreme People's Procuratorate.
[Holy crap? Is that true? I've learned something new!]
So it seems that being a minor isn't a shield either!
Faced with Jiang Chen's teasing, the little boy cried even harder.
"No...someone was talking to me about the law..."
He said... I am now guilty of attempted murder!
Jiang Chen's smile froze instantly.
His brows furrowed sharply, and his tone became serious.
"Attempted murder? Tell me slowly!"
How could a twelve-year-old boy commit such a serious crime?
Attempted murder?
Does he have that kind of ability?
The live stream chat exploded instantly!
[A twelve-year-old...attempted murder? Really?!]
I know a twelve-year-old can be sentenced, but what exactly did he do?
[It is true that someone of this age can be sentenced, but the conditions are very strict; it's not something that can be done casually!]
So what exactly did this child do? Why is he being accused of attempted murder?
Jiang Chen took a deep breath, sat up straight, and put on a serious expression.
"Little friend, don't cry, let me ask you something."
Do you know what "attempted murder" means?
The little boy sobbed as he answered, "I don't know... my uncle told me..."
"They're saying I'm guilty of attempted murder and might be arrested..."
uncle?
Since it was said by a relative, there must be some reason behind it.
Jiang Chen nodded, softened his tone, and began to explain.
"Okay, then let me tell you what attempted murder is first."
He held up one finger.
"According to the Criminal Law, attempted murder refers to...the perpetrator intends to illegally deprive another person of their life, has already begun to carry out the act of murder, but fails to succeed due to reasons beyond their control."
"There are two key points here: First, there must be subjective intent to kill, that is, you must genuinely want to kill the other person."
"Second, there must be an objective act of killing, such as stabbing the other party in a vital area with a knife, and the action must have been taken, rather than just thinking about it without actually doing it."
He paused for a moment and looked at the camera.
"If someone just brandished the knife or made a few threats, but didn't actually stab the victim, then it doesn't constitute attempted murder under the law."
"If the intention was merely to scare someone and there was no real intent to kill, then it's even less likely to constitute attempted murder!"
"Therefore, the key criteria for determining attempted murder can be summarized in three words: intended to kill, attempted to kill, but failed!"
He lowered his fingers, his tone softening.
"Little friend, tell me now..."
"Do you really want to kill them?"
