"After the police filed the case, the police officer who did the DNA testing was sued by the local prosecutor's office because he announced to the media that the defendant's DNA was found on the clothes and the victim's body! They said that he violated procedural justice by announcing the DNA results ahead of time.
"And everyone should remember that when the case was first filed and the defendant had just turned himself in, there was another prosecutor who used the defendant's side of the story and violated professional ethics and judicial principles. He immediately held a press conference to say that the victim had initiated a threesome with the defendant and had suffocated to death after going too far. I can also let everyone know that the prosecutor who held a press conference to say that the victim was a willing threesome was not sued by the prosecutor's office for violating procedural justice. Instead, he was promoted.
"One announced the truth and became a defendant, while the other falsified information and was promoted. How harmonious!"
"Of these two people, one released correct information to the public, but was accused of violating procedural justice. The other released false information and intentionally misled the public, but was promoted and made a fortune. What does this mean? " Gu Nianzhi's gaze fell on Seth's parents sitting in the courtroom. "This means that this originally simple case was obstructed by internal police and became what it is today!"
"Objection!" The defendant's lawyer was furious and waved his fist at Gu Nianzhi. "You have no evidence to say that the police obstructed internal police. Your accusation is very serious, I'm telling you! "
"I don't need you to tell me." Gu Nianzhi calmly took out the information that the prosecutor had given her. "According to the police department's own records, the day before Seth turned himself in, his parents drove to his residence to 'clean up' and took away more than ten bags of 'trash.' At the time, the building that Seth lived in had already been designated as a 'key inspection area' by the police department, and nothing was allowed to be moved. However, Seth's parents used their privileges to openly enter and interfere with the handling of evidence. Can I reasonably infer that the defendant's parents had already removed and destroyed all direct evidence? "
All of this was written on the flash drive that the prosecutor had given Gu Nianzhi.
In for a penny, in for a pound, in for a pound, Gu Nianzhi spilled the beans.
He Zhichu was impartial and translated it all into German for her.
The Germans watching the live broadcast of the trial were in an uproar.
"What?!"
"There's such a thing?!"
"That's too evil!"
Not only were the people in the courtroom stunned, but all the Germans watching the live broadcast were also stunned.
Many of them were locals of the Roslau region and knew that the local government was very shady. However, this level of shadiness was still beyond what most people could accept.
They all knew that there was a problem with their legal system, but they didn't expect it to be this big!
This kind of unscrupulous trampling of justice actually happened inside their courts and police stations!
What justice was there to speak of?
The defense lawyer didn't expect Gu Nianzhi to be so daring. His face was stern as he repeatedly objected and kept saying that what Gu Nianzhi said had nothing to do with the case.
The judge panicked a little and hurriedly said, "Plaintiff's lawyer, don't say anything unrelated to the case. If you continue, I'll disqualify you as a lawyer."
Gu Nianzhi laughed coldly. "Your Honor, I originally thought that you had ill intentions towards us. It was just my imagination. Now I realize that it really wasn't an illusion. You mean us harm. How can a judge who has ill intentions towards us conduct a fair trial? Also, I obtained my lawyer's license from the United States and the Hua Xia Empire, not Germany. You have no right to disqualify me. "
The judge froze and scowled. He finally realized that Gu Nianzhi wasn't a local lawyer but a lawyer from a major American law firm.
His heart pounded. He didn't expect the plaintiff's lawyer to also know about this. If this continued, it would be even more difficult for him to insist that the defendant was not guilty …
However, Seth's stepfather, York, was not only the chief of the local police station, but also a member of the Roslau city council and the leader of the local Democratic Party.
This kind of power wasn't something a district judge like him could shake. Also, they had promised him benefits. After this case was over, York would use his party's power to support him in running for office …
On one side was a bright future, and on the other was an insignificant case of a foreign female student's death. The judge didn't even need to think about which side to tilt the scales.
The judge pursed his lips and stared at Gu Nianzhi. He frowned and thought for a while.
Since there was no direct evidence, he didn't care how glib Gu Nianzhi was. When the time came, he just had to grit his teeth and would rather let a real criminal go than convict him without direct evidence.
Seeing the judge's nonchalant expression, Gu Nianzhi knew that these people must have already reached an agreement in private. Today's trial was just a formality. She couldn't help but sneer. Trying to manipulate the case? Dream on.
The judge slammed his gavel on the table to warn Gu Nianzhi. "Plaintiff's lawyer, don't change the subject. May I ask if you have any more direct evidence? If not, we'll have to conclude our statement. "
He repeatedly emphasized that there was no need to talk about reasoning. Courts were all about evidence, and without evidence, especially direct evidence, reasoning was useless.
Gu Nianzhi was now completely certain that the judge was in cahoots with the defendant's parents.
She finally understood the helplessness of the prosecutor who had just stepped down.
He truly didn't dare go against them. Even if he had the most direct evidence, he didn't dare take it out in court.
Or rather, he didn't dare take it out.
In that instant, Gu Nianzhi decided to treat the evidence as if she had collected it herself and let the kind prosecutor off the hook.
She wasn't German anyway, so she wasn't afraid of scum like York taking revenge.
If they wanted to reach into the Hua Xia Empire or the United States to take revenge on her, Huo Shao and Professor He would teach them a lesson.
Gu Nianzhi's anxious and restless heart completely calmed down when she thought of that.
She turned around to look at He Zhichu. He Zhichu understood what she meant and nodded at her to let her do it.
Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes and turned to the judge resolutely. "Your Honor, I have direct evidence to prove that Seth's parents obstructed and interfered with justice. I also have direct evidence to prove that Seth and his girlfriend lied. They met the victim, Li Haiqing, a few hours before she was murdered, and not the day before as they claimed."
The judge's mouth fell open, and his gaze involuntarily shot to York, who was sitting behind the defendant's stand.
York was Seth's stepfather and the most powerful person in the Roslau area.
His heart also skipped a beat. He had already packed everything that needed to be packed, so how could there still be direct evidence?
