Chapter 572: Chapter 468: Can the Lawless Madman Take Over This Case?

"If he’s sentenced to life imprisonment, I cannot accept it because everyone knows life imprisonment still allows for release. Lin Helong could still come out and retaliate against me."

"I can’t even take care of myself now..."

"Haha, I was a normal person, and now I have to live with a fecal bag every day... Do you know what kind of life that is?"

"Do you know what kind of nightmare I’ve experienced?"

"I don’t want a penny in compensation; I can leave the marriage with nothing after the divorce! None of that matters..."

"My only condition is the death penalty for Lin Helong!"

"My demand is only one, the death penalty for Lin Helong!"

"I plead with everyone, I beg you all to help me."

"Just because Lin Helong and I are married, can he treat me like this?"

"There was another time when I was at home, Lin Helong also abused me, our child was only six years old then. I don’t know what happened to Lin Helong, he drank, argued with me, and then wanted to take a knife to hack me."

"At the time, I hid, dodging the fatal injury, yet Lin Helong continued trying to attack me with the knife."

"That time, I didn’t evade..."

"What condition was I in then? Lin Helong directly hacked me on my head, blood was flowing from my head..."

"My daughter was right behind me. If I had dodged that second blow, I am certain, my daughter would be gone..."

"Lin Helong is truly a monster..."

Xie Tongtong recounted her experiences and ordeals in front of the media.

Many people could empathize with this kind of suffering.

Xie Tongtong had only been married for two years and had been domestically abused thirty-six times!

Anyone else might have gone insane.

And Xie Tongtong’s mental state is very unstable.

It’s just that she desperately wants revenge, wants to see Lin Helong punished by law!

But... Xie Tongtong has no way.

She can now stand before the media and recount these experiences, supported only by this conviction.

Xie Tongtong said: "I hope for the death penalty for Lin Helong, and I will only accept the death penalty for Lin Helong. If Lin Helong isn’t executed, I cannot accept it. I’m scared... Will he kill me if he comes out of prison? What kind of life will he make me live?"

Many people are supporting Xie Tongtong.

[Support Xie Tongtong’s demand!]

[Shouldn’t such a person face the death penalty?]

[Support the death penalty!]

[Thirty-six times of domestic violence, how badly was she beaten? Directly turning a normal person into a disabled person, is it enough for Lin Helong to just serve a few years in prison?]

[This is a lifetime disability, Xie Tongtong’s left kidney is already damaged, and a damaged left kidney can never be healed again, do you understand?]

[Death penalty for Lin Helong!]

[I also support the death penalty for Lin Helong! If not the death penalty, then at least life imprisonment!]

[Lin Helong is too arrogant; he absolutely cannot be allowed to be released!]

[Me too! If Lin Helong isn’t executed, what about Xie Tongtong? What if Lin Helong comes out to take revenge? Lin Helong is already openly threatening!]

...

Netizens are expressing their opinions.

Many netizens are quite angry.

But more netizens understand one truth...

That this case is actually very difficult to result in the death penalty.

Did Lin Helong break the law? Certainly, he did.

But is Lin Helong’s crime enough to warrant the death penalty?

That is still unlikely, not very realistic.

At most, he could be sentenced to ten plus years... no more than that.

Because the law requires procedure, and legal principles...

To sentence someone to the death penalty, the crime must be sufficient to warrant such a punishment.

For example, intentional homicide... such a charge has a good chance of resulting in the death penalty.

Or other types under criminal law, which may also lead to the death penalty.

But for Xie Tongtong’s case, the difficulty of achieving the death penalty is still very high.

Many netizens went to find Gao Yong, wanting to ask his opinion on this case.

Gao Yong is the star lawyer at Fangda Law Firm, known nationwide, and many people know of Gao Yong.

Gao Yong, as a star lawyer, is indeed very capable.

And Gao Yong often follows Gu Chen’s cases, learns from them, so his courtroom skills are growing stronger.

[Lawyer Gao, do you think Lin Helong can be sentenced to death?]

[I also want to know, what crime will Lin Helong ultimately be charged with?]

[Can Lin Helong face the death penalty?]

Many people left messages under Gao Yong’s account.

Gao Yong, upon seeing this, paid attention to the case.

After understanding the situation, Gao Yong said: "I can understand everyone’s emotions, after all, Xie Tongtong really suffered intense domestic abuse and ended up with lifelong disabilities, but I need to clarify, just based on this, sentencing Lin Helong to the death penalty isn’t justified."

"The crimes Lin Helong committed do not qualify for the death penalty, nor is it possible to sentence him to death."

"Lin Helong indeed committed multiple acts of domestic violence, constituting intentional injury and abuse. These charges are viable, but their maximum penalties are life imprisonment. The death penalty is only applicable if the injury leads to death or abuse leads to death, or if it results in more severe consequences."

"Though Xie Tongtong’s injuries are severe, leaving her with disabilities... it still doesn’t meet the standards for the death penalty."

"For this case, in my view, we could strive for a ten-year fixed-term imprisonment for Lin Helong."
