"Silence-tuk-tuk-tuk!" The presiding judge said as he struck the gavel three times.

Soon, the synagogue was quiet again.

"Defendant Li Dongting, did you hear the contents of the indictment clearly?"

"Listen--clear-clear."

"Do you have any objections to the facts and evidence set out in the indictment?"

"Nope."

"Do you have anything else to say to the court?"

Li Dongting looked at lawyer Zhang Tonglin, who was sitting in the defendant's seat: "No." Li Dongting wants to move on to the next step soon, and like his father, he has high hopes for lawyer Zhang Tonglin.

Li Dongting's language ability has decreased a lot all of a sudden, have you noticed that he speaks with no more than two syllables. Not only was his voice very low, but when he spoke, he also had a trill - Li Dongting was not like this during the interrogation.

"Attorney for the accused, do you have anything to say?"

Zhang Tonglin stood up slowly, raised his head, straightened his waist, looked at the presiding judge first, and then glanced at the audience.

On the table in front of him lay a folder - the folder was unfolded, and inside the folder was a file bag and a few pieces of paper.

In the end, Zhang Tonglin's debut is indeed a bit different and extraordinary.

There was a low boo from the audience—a more restrained boo.

Lawyer Zhang put his hands on the table because he was tall, so he had to bend over.

Zhang Tonglin glanced at the audience, and then looked at the presiding judge.

The audience shifted their gaze from Li Dongting's body to Zhang Tonglin's face.

Zhang Tonglin cleared his throat, and then said, "Honorable presiding judges, honorable judges, honorable judges of the collegial panel. This lawyer has no objection to the facts listed by the public prosecutor in the indictment regarding the crime of my client Li Dongting killing Teacher Liu Xiaoyu's family of three. However, this lawyer would like to draw the court's attention to the fact that my client has a history of mental illness, which is precisely ignored in the indictment. ”

There was an uproar in the audience - a stone was thrown on the surface of the lake, and many waves were stirred up.

"Does he look like he's mentally ill?"

"Can you escape the law if you are mentally ill?"

"Just because you have a history of mental illness doesn't mean you have mental illness."

"Bad seeds, killing people, and wanting to be a turtle with a shrunken head."

"This kind of person, if he doesn't die, will kill people in the future."

"After giving birth to such a son, he still has the face to sit here."

"Shameless."

"I was killed by a headbutt."

"This lawyer is also blind and defends a murderer."

"As long as there is money to be made, the devil, he will defend it."

The presiding judge struck the gavel three times to calm the waves.

Zhang Tonglin glanced at Ma Wenjing and Chen Hongxiang, and cleared his throat again: "In the spring of 1988, my client Li Dongting suddenly became mentally ill and was hospitalized in Jingnan City Psychiatric Hospital for about a month. Zhang Tonglin took out two documents from the folder, "This is the inpatient treatment record, and this is the discharge notice -- this discharge notice has the diagnosis conclusion and the doctor's order, and it is now handed over to the court." ”

A clerk stood up and handed the three documents in Zhang Tonglin's hand to the presiding judge.

After reading them one by one, the presiding judge handed them over to the judge next to him.
