He hid the knife under his left armpit, and my brother and I didn't notice it. He Maoxian gestured his position and said: "He asked me to go home with him, but I didn't agree, saying that I must divorce this time, he suddenly reached out and took out a knife, and stabbed it directly." ”

"What state were you in after you were attacked, and what did Liu Zhu do next?" Tian Yunsu asked.

He drew his knife, and I fell. At this time, my brother rushed down with a beer bottle, and he took a blood-stained knife and wanted to harm my brother again. Before I fainted, I hugged his legs, and I couldn't let him kill my brother too. He Maoxian recalled what had happened, his body was still trembling, and there was fear and anger in it.

"Presiding judge, the defender has finished asking questions. Tian Yunsu said.

"Do you need to ask the witnesses another question?" Fang Chaoyang turned his head to the prosecutor's seat.

"Yes!" Yuan Dan raised his hand.

"Okay, try to be brief. ”

"Witness He Maoxian, did you witness He Maolin hitting Liu Zhu with a beer bottle?" asked Yuan Dan.

"I couldn't breathe, I couldn't see clearly, I didn't see. He Mao Xian said.

"Presiding Judge, there is no problem with the prosecution. Yuan Dan said.

The witness He Maoxian was taken away from the witness stand, and Fang Chaoyang knocked on the gavel and announced: "Now the court debate will begin, and the public prosecutor will first express the public prosecution opinion." ”

Yuan Dan and Li Chunlei exchanged a few words in a whisper, and then Yuan Dan got up and said: "Presiding judge and jurors, this vicious case that happened in Xiaokang Village originated from the conflict between husband and wife, but it caused serious consequences of one death and one injury. The prosecution believes that although the defendant He Maolin's assault has special factors in specific emergency situations, the right to life is above all else and cannot be easily deprived. We believe that the defendant He Maolin continuously hit Liu Zhu, causing his death, and did not take any action to rescue him at that time, and is suspected of intentional homicide, with sufficient evidence and conclusive facts, and requests the court to give him a heavy sentence so as to protect the legitimate rights and interests of every citizen...... The prosecution's opinion has been published. ”

"The following is for the defendant to defend himself, defendant He Maolin, if you have anything to defend, you can tell it. Fang Chaoyang said.

"I didn't want to kill Liu Zhu, he was holding a knife, just because he was afraid that he would get up and kill my sister again. He Maolin said.

He Maolin chattered, and there was no theme in his speech, but he was interrupted by Fang Chaoyang in the end, and entered the next link, where the defender expressed his defense opinions.

The courtroom was exceptionally quiet, and everyone present knew that defense lawyer Tian Yunsu would definitely make sharp remarks in order to protect the rights of his clients. Sure enough, Tian Yunsu sorted out his clothes, left the defense seat, and came to the open space in the middle of the courtroom, looking around with blazing eyes.

The court is not like the Hong Kong and Taiwan films, strictly speaking, the defender is not allowed to leave his seat, but Fang Chaoyang did not stop Tian Yunsu's actions, and he already had a judgment in his heart about this case.

"Honorable presiding judges, jurors, prosecutors, and all of you who are here to listen to the hearing, I will not hide from you that I am a divorced woman and have deeply experienced the harm of domestic violence to women. I suffered cold violence, and I can't tolerate it, but you can imagine how bleak life must be for He Maoxian, who is often beaten!"

In the auditorium, He Maoxian's crying was heard again, and He Maolin in the defendant's dock, his handcuffs were rattling, and he was constantly wiping his tears.

"A woman who can't escape, finally makes a brave decision to divorce, and the man, who sees it as a tool for venting and confinement, draws a knife and cruelly wants to kill his wife. The brother who has a deep love between brother and sister, in order to protect his sister and protect himself, he has always been cowardly, bravely picked up a beer bottle and fought against the murderer, and finally succeeded in saving his sister's life. I would like to ask, what is wrong with He Maolin's approach? We have always encouraged righteousness and courage, and every citizen should put a stop to the occurrence of illegal acts; if He Maolin is imprisoned, may I ask, who will dare to lend a helping hand when danger occurs again? Can the perpetrators kill people with impunity, while bystanders are still thinking about whether they will be punished by law because of their bravery?"

Tian Yunsu said very excitedly, and even tears appeared in his eyes, and after a short silence in the auditorium, a burst of warm applause followed.

"I oppose that the defender should not stand on the moral plane and put pressure on the court, and the situation should never be greater than the law. Yuan Dan said.

"Opposition is valid, defender, be careful with your rhetoric and refrain from inflammatory remarks that are not relevant to the facts of the case. Fang Chaoyang said.

"Okay, I accept. Tian Yunsu nodded, and said: "The defense believes that various evidence shows that Liu Zhu was carrying out a premeditated homicide crime, and He Maolin effectively stopped the further deterioration of the criminal behavior and successfully rescued the victim He Maoxian, so he should not bear legal responsibility for this." ”

"Defender, we believe that He Maolin's first heavy blow to Liu Zhu to the end has already had the effect of stopping the crime, and the subsequent continuous blows are deliberately depriving the victim Liu Zhu of his right to life. Yuan Dan said.

"When danger occurs, there is no time to think, Liu Zhu still holds the pig-killing knife in his hand before he dies, how can I ensure that he will not continue to commit criminal acts?" Tian Yunsu asked rhetorically.

"He had fallen to the ground bleeding and had lost the ability to resist. Yuan Dan didn't give an inch.

"How to judge that he lost the ability to resist, he still held a knife in his hand, and the defense believes that Liu Zhu fell to the ground, not because he was beaten, but because He Maoxian hugged his leg and fell with an unstable center of gravity. ”

"In any case, He Maolin has caused serious consequences, and the court cannot turn a blind eye to this. Yuan Dan said.

"To protect Liu Zhu's right to life, then, who will protect the right to life of the He family's brothers and sisters, they can only rely on themselves. Tian Yunsu said excitedly.

"Objections, defenders are confusing concepts. Yuan Dan is clearly lagging behind.

This concludes the debate. Fang Chaoyang knocked on the mallet with a cold face, and motioned Tian Yunsu to return to his seat with his eyes.

Next, the defendant will make his final statement. Defendant He Maolin stood up and spoke. By the way, try to be brief. Fang Chaoyang said.

He Maolin stood up, first smiled helplessly, and then, tears fell uncontrollably.

"What I want to say is that I really didn't want to kill Liu Zhu at that time, I was blinded. I'm not afraid of going to jail, but I don't want to lose money, the family is not rich, if the house is gone, the two of them will drink the northwest wind, alas, if that's the case, divorce first, let the daughter-in-law remarry, don't beat my baby. ”

He Maolin still had no point in speaking, and babbled for ten minutes without proposing any lenient punishment.
