Chapter 343: Verdict

In mid-December, Long Tiezhu's murder case was tried in closed session at the Guicheng Intermediate People's Court, and Geng Chenggang, as Long Tiezhu's defense lawyer, defended Long Tiezhu.

Ji Xinhuai testified in court as a witness in this case, and as for the case of him assisting Masao Araki in raping Su Xiaocui, it will be handled in a separate case.

In addition to Ji Xinhuai, Pei Zhenbiao and several other employees of the Sunshine Hotel also testified in court as witnesses.

The reason why Ji Xinhuai agreed to testify in court was because Ding Hongxing asked people to go to the detention center to find him, saying that if he didn't tell the truth, his consequences would not be better than Araki Masao, this is a "chiluo" naked threat, but it is very useful to a villain like Ji Xinhuai who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he immediately agreed to testify in court.

As for Pei Zhenbiao, the owner of the Sunshine Hotel did not agree to them to testify in court, but Pei Zhenbiao resolutely resigned from the post of security captain of the Sunshine Hotel, and he also had to testify in court, and there were several people who resigned with him.

It is worth mentioning that due to two murders in succession, the Sunshine Hotel was closed for a period of time, although it has reopened recently, but the business has plummeted, because the guests feel that the feng shui of the Sunshine Hotel is not very good, and two people will die one after another.

With these witnesses, plus those evidences, especially the blood letter left by Su Xiaocui before his death, and the written apology letter issued by the Japanese side, it is enough to prove that Masao Araki did rape Su Xiaocui, and the victim was seriously at fault, and Long Tiezhu's murderous behavior was also because Masao Araki did not get the punishment he deserved, and his impulsive behavior was excusable, plus he voluntarily surrendered to the Public Security Bureau immediately after the killing, so Long Tiezhu has met the conditions for a lighter punishment.

The most important thing is that Masao Araki's family did not clamor anymore for a heavier punishment for Long Tiezhu, and they appeared unexpectedly quiet in the courtroom.

And although Long Tiezhu's will is still a little depressed, he no longer has the idea of taking the initiative to die before, and he is still more cooperative with Geng Chenggang's defense.

After all, he still has so many family members who care about him, and his best comrades-in-arms who have been running for him, and he is not hard-hearted, how can he still be bent on death?

In the end, under the influence of various factors, the Guicheng Intermediate People's Court pronounced a verdict, and Long Tiezhu was sentenced to death for intentional homicide, with a two-year reprieve, and deprived of political rights for life, but there was no restriction on commutation.

Long Tiezhu did not appeal, but accepted the verdict, and Geng Chenggang did not persuade him to appeal, because Ding Hongxing had sued him, as long as the verdict was not a death sentence to be executed immediately, any result was acceptable.

Two years later, the death penalty prisoners who have no new crimes in prison will basically be sentenced to life imprisonment, and if the table is good, it can be changed to life imprisonment in advance, if it has been good, the indefinite can be changed to a fixed period, in short, generally in prison for more than ten years, you can be released from prison, and by that time, the iron pillar is only in his thirties.

And the most important one in this judgment is that there is no restriction on commutation, China's death sentence is suspended, for some criminals whose crimes are serious, the death sentence can be suspended at the same time, and the commutation can also be restricted, that is, if the crime is not committed during the two-year probation period, it can be reduced to indefinitely, and the sentence can be reduced to 25 years of fixed-term imprisonment if the sentence is good or has a meritorious service during the life sentence, but no matter how good the expression is during the fixed-term imprisonment, no matter how great the meritorious service is, at least half of the 25-year sentence must be served, that is, 12 and a half years. Add to that the two-year probation and the pre-trial detention period, and you will be in prison for at least 15 years.

However, now the court's judgment on Long Tiezhu does not restrict the commutation of the sentence, so theoretically speaking, Long Tiezhu can reduce the sentence indefinitely, of course, the conditions for commutation in prison are also very difficult and even harsh.

Just this article shows that there is still a lot of work in this judgment.

This verdict made Long Tiezhu's family breathe a long sigh of relief, and lawyer Geng Chenggang had already told them before, saying that Long Tiezhu's best result this time was a suspended death, and he also talked in detail about the various mysteries in this suspended death, saying that as long as the death sentence was suspended, it was basically equivalent to saving a life, as long as he could behave well in prison, that is, for more than ten years, Long Tiezhu could come out.

Long Tiezhu's family was full of gratitude to Ding Hongxing, they had already heard from Heizi that this time it was Ding Hongxing who was doing his best to save Long Tiezhu.

Ding Hongxing has a sense of achievement, after all, this time he directly saved a life, and Zhinao Xiaobao also directly gave him a reward of 100 attribute points, which is the biggest reward he has received since Xiaobao, and he can get so many rewards, but also because the process of saving the dragon iron pillar this time is too difficult, to go to the capital to ask for help, but also to settle the Japanese, how easy it is to say!

Although Ding Hongxing was very happy, he also had some troubles, that is, Heizi said that he would follow him in everything, the reason was that he had sworn before, whoever saved Long Tiezhu's life, his life would be his, Ding Hongxing persuaded him to go back to Dashan County to report to the tax bureau, but he had to follow Ding Hongxing.

Ding Hongxing is distressed, now he is still a middle school student, what is the matter with him letting Kuroko follow him?

He can only temporarily let Kuroko live in Guicheng, and then slowly find a way to settle Kuroko.

Tiezhu's matter came to an end, Qi Mingyang came to Ding Hongxing once, he came to Ding Hongxing to convey his father Qi Shilin and Wu Dehai's gratitude to Ding Hongxing, they already knew through the mouth of Qi Mingyang that this time to save Long Tiezhu's life, the most critical person was Ding Hongxing.

These two military division leaders are also very grateful to Ding Hongxing, both of them are people who love soldiers like children, and Long Tiezhu is the best soldier under them, if they are sentenced to death because of this kind of thing, they can't accept it anyway, but this matter involves foreigners, and later involved the struggle between the province and the city, which is no longer something that they can solve, they once thought that Tiezhu's life could not be saved, but they didn't expect that at this time, Ding Hongxing turned the tide, It was a huge surprise for them.

Qi and Wu asked Qi Mingyang to thank Ding Hongxing on their behalf, and invited him to go to the military subdivision as a guest when he was free.
