"Objection! The plaintiff's lawyer is slandering my client as mentally retarded and crazy! That's a personal attack! "The defendant's lawyer immediately seized on the loophole in Gu Nianzhi's words and retorted excitedly.
Gu Nianzhi smiled at him. "Are you sure I'm slandering your client? Is there a risk in telling the truth these days? "
The defendant's lawyer boomed and almost patted his chest to guarantee, "My client is definitely not mentally retarded or crazy! On the contrary, he's very smart and rational. His school results can prove it, and his relatives and friends can also prove that he's always been a polite and good child … "
"Enough." Gu Nianzhi interrupted him. "That's what I want to know." As she spoke, she also turned to look at the judge. Her expression was so calm that no one could tell what she was going to do next.
He Zhichu curled his lips and secretly praised Gu Nianzhi's quick thinking in an emergency to block the opponent's escape route.
The judge also froze and only confirmed with the defendant's lawyer after Gu Nianzhi's repeated urging. "Are you sure your client isn't mentally retarded or crazy?"
"Absolutely not!" The defendant's lawyer blurted out. Then he suddenly remembered something, and his expression changed.
Seth's stepfather, York, who was sitting in the courtroom, cursed quietly, "Treacherous …"
Gu Nianzhi looked in the judge's direction, her pretty little face beaming from ear to ear. "Your Honor, the defendant's lawyer personally testified that the defendant is not mentally retarded, nor is he mentally ill. This means that he is a person with full capacity to act. Also, he was 21 when he committed the crime, and all his physical signs prove he's already an adult. Therefore, we object to using the juvenile court to try this case. "
The defendant's lawyer's face was ashen.
He suddenly realized he was the one who was truly mentally retarded.
Gu Nianzhi's words just now reminded him that defending the defendant as mentally retarded or mentally ill was the easiest way to get him off the hook. How could he ignore the essentials and let the other party lead him by the nose?!
In the end, this little b * tch had outsmarted him and personally cut off the possibility of a "mentally retarded" defense.
The male defendant, Seth's parents, wanted to kill him with vicious glares.
Therefore, the defendant's second defense, which they thought they were well-prepared, lost another round because of Gu Nianzhi's interference.
When the judge sighed and announced that the defendants would be tried as adults, Ramona, Seth's mother, immediately burst into tears.
“My-baby！ My baby! "She threw herself at him and cried, hugging her son, who was as big and strong as a wall.
The corners of Gu Nianzhi's mouth twitched as she muttered in Mandarin, "Let the baby go, it's still a child …"
"Don't be so smug." The defense lawyer walked over and pointed to the sky, warning her in a threatening manner. "There are still several rounds of trial left. Do you really think you have the upper hand?! — Look at where you are! How naive! "
"It's Tu Sen Tu Sen, right?" Gu Nianzhi smiled as she packed her things. There was a hint of mockery in the corner of her mouth. "I'll wait and see. You better work hard. Don't make me feel like I've won unfairly."
"You —!" The defense lawyer was so angry that he wanted to hit her.
However, He Zhichu and four other tall American lawyers surrounded him and looked at the defense lawyer coldly. The defense lawyer could only snort and leave.
"Show him some color, and he'll start a dye shop." Gu Nianzhi wasn't afraid at all, but when she turned around, she saw the male defendant, Seth, glaring at her. It made her very unhappy.
"What are you looking at? If it weren't for the fact that Germany doesn't have the death penalty, you'd be dead for sure! " Gu Nianzhi secretly complained in her heart, but she put on a shocked expression and immediately said to the bailiff, "Sir, I'm afraid that person will take revenge on me. I want to ask for court protection."
Gu Nianzhi pointed in the direction of the male defendant, Seth, who didn't have time to retract his hateful gaze. Everyone in the courtroom, including the judge and the bailiff, saw it.
He could have been released on bail, but seeing his fierce expression, the judge flatly rejected his family's request for bail. The reason was that he had threatened the plaintiff's lawyer, which was an additional crime, so he couldn't be released on bail.
Ramona, Seth's mother, covered her mouth tightly with her hand. Her eyes were red from crying as she watched her son be taken away by the bailiff and locked up.
She walked to Gu Nianzhi and sobbed. "You're so cruel. My son didn't do it on purpose, so why did you have to be so ruthless? What's your relationship with the victim? How much money did her family pay you for you working so hard for her lawsuit? "
Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes internally. This kind of person did whatever they wanted just because they had a bit of power. Truly, everything was the same in the past and present.
"My client was even more innocent. May I ask why your son tortured her to death? Your son killed an innocent person, so how dare you ask others to let your son go? Just because you're a high-ranking officer in the German police force? " Gu Nianzhi spoke loudly, her authentic Oxford English clearly heard by the German media waiting at the door.
They practically pricked up their ears to listen to the commotion.
Ramona's heart ached to death. To her, the dead Hua Xia female exchange student was less than a dog.
She would sympathize with a dead dog, but the person who died was a foreigner with no power or influence. She really didn't think her precious son would have to pay such a high price for such a small matter.
"Do you know that my son is only 22 years old?! If he goes to jail, his life will be ruined! What chance will he have in the future?! " Ramona angrily accused Gu Nianzhi. "And there's no evidence at all. What right do you have to say that my son killed your client?!"
"No evidence at all?" Gu Nianzhi snorted. "How do you know there's no evidence at all?"
"Of course I know! My husband and I personally investigated this case! "Ramona wiped the tears from her face, and a vicious glint flashed across her eyes.
As a woman, she had risen to the position of Senior Inspector not entirely because of her husband's connections.
Gu Nianzhi hated this kind of person the most. She sneered. "There's no evidence at all because you and your husband destroyed all the evidence, right?!"
"Nonsense!" Ramona took two steps back, her expression a bit panicked. "There was no evidence to begin with! My son didn't kill her! "With that, she hurriedly left the courtroom and refused all media interviews.
Gu Nianzhi put on her large sunglasses and followed He Zhichu out of the courthouse.
There were even more media waiting at the courthouse, and when they saw them come out, they swarmed over even more.
Microphones with recording equipment were handed to He Zhichu. He also wore a large pair of sunglasses, which made his face look even more exquisite and mysterious.
