Chapter 573: Chapter 468: Can the Lawless Madman Take This Case? (2)

"How should I put it, there have been plenty of brawl cases before, lots that ended with bloody heads, many that ended with someone having their leg broken and becoming permanently disabled."

"But have you ever heard of a case where someone was sentenced to death just because they broke someone else’s leg? Will breaking a leg lead to a death sentence?"

"Honestly speaking, even human traffickers who kidnap others and break their legs won’t be sentenced to death. Convicting this case as a death penalty is simply impossible," Gao Yong said.

Gao Yong said, "Unless other evidence can be found or a particularly extraordinary lawyer takes the case, I think only then is there a hope for a life sentence... a death sentence is very, very, very difficult to achieve; at least with the current evidence, a death penalty is impossible."

Gao Yong shared his opinion online.

Many netizens understood.

Yeah, haven’t there been many brawl cases before?

Are cases where the opposite party was made disabled uncommon?

Most of the time, you pay some money, serve a few years, and you’re out.

But who has ever heard of someone being sentenced to death for hitting someone?

Unless it’s a case of killing someone...

This also depends on whether it’s intentional homicide or accidental manslaughter.

Honestly, even accidental manslaughter, if there are other circumstances, there’s still a significant chance of avoiding the death penalty.

Even with accidental manslaughter, it’s not certain that the death penalty will be applied.

Besides, even with intentional homicide... there’s still a chance of not being sentenced to death.

Of course, with intentional homicide, the sentence is usually a death penalty; that’s inevitable, unless there are special circumstances, where the legal argument is exceptionally strong, then one might avoid the death penalty.

With Gao Yong’s words, netizens felt a bit helpless...

Even though they were just netizens, they really wanted to help Xie Tongtong and could empathize with her.

But the problem is, this case doesn’t warrant a death sentence!

Even if Xie Tongtong doesn’t want any property, not a single penny, it won’t affect the conviction. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

[Oh, can’t Lin Helong be sentenced to death?]

[There’s really no way for a death sentence....]

[I also asked some lawyers, and it seems the possibility of a death sentence is indeed low.]

[What are we supposed to do then? If Lin Helong isn’t sentenced to death, he will still come out to target Xie Tongtong in the future.]

[I want to ask, how did Lin Helong track down Xie Tongtong?]

[It’s said that Lin Helong has connections, able to mobilize some online resources, so he can directly find out where Xie Tongtong is.]

[This? Didn’t someone investigate who is behind Lin Helong? How does Lin Helong have special privileges to find someone else’s information?]

[If I were Xie Tongtong, I’d be desperate too. No matter where she runs, she’ll be caught by Lin Helong. You ask how, he has the means, the methods, and people... people helping him, so Lin Helong can find out Xie Tongtong’s exact location, no matter where she goes, unless she goes abroad.]

[Going abroad? What are you thinking? How is Xie Tongtong supposed to go abroad? Can average people go abroad? Can you go abroad without money? It all costs money....]

[So is Xie Tongtong just helpless? No matter where she runs, she’ll be caught?]

[Done for....]

Netizens genuinely felt desperate this time.

Some netizens went to find star lawyer Zhang Wei.

It’s worth mentioning, Zhang Wei is now a star lawyer too.

Occasionally Zhang Wei will still take cases, and performs very stably.

Zhang Wei is in this position because he has some ability.

At least Zhang Wei can always meet his clients’ demands.

After seeing the plea from netizens, Zhang Wei also shared his opinion online.

Like Gao Yong, Zhang Wei also believes a death penalty is impossible.

[Sigh... Even Zhang Wei says it can’t be a death penalty, so there’s nothing we can do.]

[Yes, I feel unless Lawyer Gu and Zhang Wei jointly take action, only then might a death penalty be possible.]

[Is it time for Lawyer Gu and Zhang Wei to team up again?]

[What nonsense are you talking? How can you call it teaming up? It’s clearly combining two conceptual gods together, only then there’s a chance for a direct death penalty.]

[Two conceptual gods stepping in, right? Out of options, don’t even think about it, Lawyer Gu hasn’t taken a case for over two months....]

Netizens suddenly remembered, right, they haven’t seen Gu Chen take a case for two months.

Instead, Gu Chen’s been lecturing at university...

But as for taking cases, Gu Chen hasn’t done that for two months.

Netizens also know Gu Chen is a boss...

Every case Gu Chen has taken resulted in a victory, so far still a hundred-percent win rate.

If he stops, then henceforth he’ll be a hundred-percent-win-rate lawyer, right?

Moreover, Gu Chen has legitimate reasons not to take cases...

One because he’s a company boss, another because he’s a university professor, so he can decline cases, and netizens can understand.

Only knowing Gu Chen isn’t taking cases anymore, netizens felt a bit disappointed.

Gu Chen isn’t streaming, nor is he taking cases anymore.

They can’t see Gu Chen... nor can they see Xue Qingqing.

It’s so frustrating.

[Why do you think Lawyer Gu isn’t taking cases?]

[Lawyer Gu is a busy man....]

[Just think about Lei Jun, he’s a CEO, and only showed up during the first batch of Xiaomi su7, but he surely wouldn’t really go into sales to sell Xiaomi su7, right?]

[Lawyer Gu: As long as I don’t take cases, my win rate is hundred percent.]

[Do you think Lawyer Gu might be scared? Afraid his hundred-percent win rate might get broken... so he’s not taking cases anymore.]

[The two idiots above, I’m worried you’ll be convicted... can the Lawless Madman be scared? Don’t you know he’s a boss now? He’s also teaching law to students at Qingbei... you know he’s a professor now? He doesn’t just take cases.]

[Yeah, even if Lawyer Gu streams, he earns way more than from taking cases....]

[Can’t we see Gu Chen taking cases anymore?]

Netizens all shook their heads and sighed.

Are they really never going to see Gu Chen take cases personally again?

Gu Chen’s a major boss, busy with company matters, netizens understand.

But they still feel a bit disappointed...

They still hope to see Gu Chen continue taking cases.

Even if cases are lost, it wouldn’t matter.

But now, it seems they really can’t see Gu Chen taking cases anymore.

Earlier, Gu Chen never paused taking cases.

Now it’s been two months without a case; many feel maybe they’ll never see Gu Chen personally handling cases again.

Some netizens went to consult various lawyers...

Their main aim is to help raise Xie Tongtong’s voice.

More and more renowned lawyers speak up about this case, and as public interest increases, it can potentially help Xie Tongtong to some extent.

Thus, netizens approached Du Jingguang.

Du Jingguang said, "I’ve gotten to know Xie Tongtong’s case, good heavens, everyone’s coming to ask me, aren’t they?"

"About this case... I can only say, no matter who takes the case, it’s impossible for a death penalty."

Du Jingguang is also a star lawyer, with some strength.

But Du Jingguang often loses ground in front of Gu Chen, which is unavoidable.

Du Jingguang said, "There’s truly no way...."

A netizen said, "Lawyer Du, but Xie Tongtong has suffered serious injuries, disabled... permanently disabled, living with a polyphagous bag for life, her left kidney is permanently destroyed, who do you turn to for justice?"

Du Jingguang said, "Let me put it this way, I sympathize greatly, and I support Xie Tongtong’s intent, but everyone’s asking if Lin Helong could be sentenced to death, I can only say this...."

"Legally, even if Lin Helong makes Xie Tongtong a vegetable, it’s improbable for him to get a death sentence. If she’s made a vegetable, Helong might get over ten years of fixed-term imprisonment, life imprisonment, or maybe a death penalty, but a death penalty is extraordinarily difficult."

"Even if Lin Helong threatens others, which would increase the penalty, it still wouldn’t result in a death sentence."

"Very difficult, genuinely hard to directly convict to death, anyway I have no solution, there’s nothing I can do, you mention Gu Chen?"
