Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 300: The Final Trial! Zhou Wenjing Can’t Escape the Death Penalty!

Chapter 300: Chapter 300: The Final Trial! Zhou Wenjing Can’t Escape the Death Penalty!

Zhou Wenjing exclaimed with joy, "Lawyer Zhang, you’re so amazing!"

Zhang Wei replied calmly, "It’s basic stuff, not really that impressive, right? Isn’t this what a lawyer should do? Or can’t other lawyers manage it?"

Zhang Wei continued, "Let me tell you about my track record. I’ve been in the legal profession for ten years, and I’ve handled countless cases."

"There was one case where the court ordered my client to pay 200,000 yuan in compensation. After I got involved, the fine was completely waived!"

Zhang Wei still remembered that case, where the judge re-sentenced to twenty years of imprisonment.

But so what?

Was the fine waived or not?

The task he received was because his client thought the compensation was too high and wanted to reduce it.

In the end, not a single penny needing compensation, which naturally was a win.

Zhang Wei continued, "Another time, the court sentenced my client to twenty years in prison. Then the client approached me, saying the sentence was too long and wanted me to appeal, so I did."

"In the end, after my persistent arguments, the entire sentence was waived! Although we lost over 300,000 yuan, not a single day in prison was served."

Zhang Wei was very confident.

Although in that case... ultimately the client was sentenced to death and fined over 300,000 yuan.

But Zhang Wei felt there was nothing wrong with his approach!

When the client came to him, wasn’t it because the sentence seemed too long?

After Zhang Wei’s involvement, indeed not a single day was spent in prison.

It’s just that mentioning the death penalty change is something Zhang Wei generally skipped.

It was the court’s re-sentence, what could he do about it?

Anyway, the tasks he received were all completed excellently.

Moreover, ten years in the profession with zero negative reviews, doesn’t that count for something?

Listening to Zhang Wei talk on and on...

Zhou Wenjing was overjoyed!

This was a top-tier lawyer!

She actually encountered such a top-tier lawyer!

If Zhang Wei could take over her case, it would be perfect!

Zhang Wei said, "Tell me your demands, and I’ll do my best to help you achieve them!"

Zhou Wenjing happily said, "Thank you, Lawyer Zhang!! Having you is really my fortune, I feel everything will be fine now!"

"I only have one request, I think the court might sentence me to twenty, even twenty-five years, or even life imprisonment..."

"So I want to reduce my sentence as much as possible! However much can be reduced, I don’t want to go to jail! I really don’t want to go to jail, that’s my only request! Just keep me out of jail, and I’ll agree to anything!"

Zhang Wei: "As long as you don’t have to go to jail, anything goes?"

Zhou Wenjing nodded, "Yes, yes, as long as I don’t go to jail, anything goes!"

Zhang Wei laughed, "Alright, that’s simple, but my legal fees are quite high, a flat rate of 150,000."

Zhou Wenjing said, "No problem, just 150,000. Lawyer Zhang, only you can help me now!!"

After finding a lawyer, Zhou Wenjing returned to prison.

The trial would commence the day after tomorrow.

During lunch, Zhou Wenjing saw Tian Xinyu.

Tian Xinyu was also in jail.

Tian Xinyu asked, "Found a new lawyer? Is there hope? I really hope not to be sentenced to death...also not life imprisonment, it’s not that severe, right? We didn’t directly kill anyone, at most it’s a case of accidental manslaughter."

Zhou Wenjing smiled, "Don’t worry, it’s settled. I found a really good lawyer; he has worked ten years without a negative review. He said he’s got this case covered, I said I wanted a reduced sentence, he said no problem, and even asked for 150,000. That’s why I believe him!"

Hearing this, Tian Xinyu finally relaxed.

Tian Xinyu said, "Glad it’s you handling it, leaving it to you!"

Zhou Wenjing beamed.

She had over three million in savings!

Just left in the bank, it could grow easily.

Even serving a ten-year sentence, so what?

After ten years, once released, her accounts would still have over three million plus interest, good enough to enjoy life!

At worst, a ten-year sentence!

Even a fifteen-year sentence, Zhou Wenjing would accept!

Finding such a good lawyer, surely nothing will go wrong!

Zhou Wenjing was prepared for over ten years behind bars...

"Once released, figuring out how to deal with Wang Zhihao, isn’t that easy? I can still enjoy my 3 million plus for a comfortable retirement," thought Zhou Wenjing.

...

Time flew by quickly.

Soon, the day after tomorrow arrived.

The case had already blown up on the internet!

Because....the case was finally about to be judged!

Just the adjournments had happened five or six times.

And this time, it’s the final trial!

This time there’s no chance of another adjournment!

The Zhou Wenjing case was about to be settled!

Plaintiffs, defendants, public prosecutors, lead judge, jurors, defense lawyers on both sides... all were on their way to the court.

Thirty minutes to the trial, over three million tuned into the live stream!

The live chat was exploding with comments.

Even numerous news media outlets had come on-site, focusing on this case.

Because what Zhou Wenjing did was terribly wicked!

She had four children, none of whom were Wang Zhihao’s!

If that wasn’t enough, the crucial point was that these four kids were traitors.

Zhou Wenjing had multiple affairs and eventually, with Tian Xinyu, deliberately caused a fire that led to Wang Zhihao’s father, Wang Feng, being burned alive! 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Moreover, the matter only came to light five years later!

Just with those details, the case already had immense exposure.

The turning point was that both the first and second trials, Wang Zhihao lost the lawsuits completely!

Because Wang Zhihao couldn’t afford a lawyer, he still had to pay child support for the three kids!

Who could endure that?

And the entry of Gu Chen the Lawless Madman brought the case to its climax!

Wang Zhihao saw Gu Chen and Xue Qingqing.

Wang Zhihao asked, "Lawyer Gu, I heard Zhou Wenjing found a great lawyer, can Zhou Wenjing and Tian Xinyu receive the death penalty?"

This was Wang Zhihao’s only hope attending the trial today.

He could forego everything else.

He only wanted Zhou Wenjing to receive the death penalty!!

Zhou Wenjing and Tian Xinyu killed his father, those two must die!!

Gu Chen replied, "Rest assured, there won’t be another adjournment today. The court’s evidence is gathered and organized, and today it’ll be sentenced; no matter who Zhou Wenjing and Tian Xinyu found, in this case, they’re both getting the death penalty! With me present today, no errors will occur."

For intentional homicide, there’s been no remorse shown, compounded with other crimes, how can Zhou Wenjing and Tian Xinyu not get the death penalty?

Since ancient times, murder has been met with execution!

The crime of intentional homicide generally warrants the death penalty!

Gu Chen himself had run simulations; Zhou Wenjing and Tian Xinyu could not possibly receive life sentences, the death penalty was inevitable!

For today’s case, Gu Chen has been waiting for so long too!

Soon, everyone was present!

The clerk stood up, "Now we invite the judge and jurors into the room! All rise!"

"The trial begins now!!!"
