Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Chapter 1381 Rogue Lawyer, Adept at Twisting Black and White

"And then what happened?"

Fang Ting pointed at Ding Xie in grief and anger and shouted loudly.

“Ding Hai ran down, and I asked him why he killed Ah Tin. He violently pushed me down, and my son Zhan Bo grabbed his leg. He then swung my son up and threw him away.”

"Your Honor, my client, Fang Ting, was six months pregnant and about to give birth when Ding Xie pushed her violently, causing the baby to be born prematurely. Fang Zhanbo hit his head and suffered severe aftereffects. This is the doctor's diagnosis and medical record."

Your Honor, Jury, this Ting Hai is a triad member who looks down on ordinary people, which is why he's so ruthless. After being summoned by the police, he was released through connections.

Ladies and gentlemen, isn't it strange? How could such a dangerous person be granted bail? Then any crime he commits afterward will be related to the person who granted him bail.

Isn't that right? What everyone heard next was unbelievable: when Fang Ting returned home, gang members set fire to her doorstep and threatened her with the lives of her three children.

What is the purpose? It is to demand that Ms. Fang Ting drop the case and release the criminal who killed her husband. Your Honor, esteemed jurors, now we have murder, arson, and all the underworld methods at our disposal.

Did everyone think that was the end of it?

Meng Qi suddenly roared and grabbed the case file, hurling it at Ding Xie as he screamed desperately.

"Ms. Fang was taken to the hospital, along with her child. Her family is ruined. Ding Xie, why did you throw her child, one by one, out the window?"

Even that newborn baby, less than a day old, was thrown off the building by your own hands.

Meng Qi's face turned ashen. He clenched his fists and slammed them on the table, startling Chen Mingren into screaming.

"You killed your son by throwing him, you killed your eldest daughter by throwing her, and your second daughter, who is sitting here, fell on top of her brother and survived. The most pitiful one is that baby girl. She... the little girl, just opened her eyes to see this world, was thrown to her death by evil people. She was thrown to her death."

"Ting Hai, I really admire you. How did you manage to stand there, feigning innocence? You even held your Bible upside down."

An uproar erupted in the gallery, and even the nine jurors were on the verge of losing their seats.

Judge Luna frowned. Looking at Meng Qi's frenzied state, she couldn't help but tap her gavel. This was the biggest difference between her and Meng Qi. Before, they were both judges, and no matter what kind of case they encountered, Luna remained calm.

As if the tragic stories she heard had nothing to do with her, she believed that as a judge, she should treat each case calmly.

Meng Qi often let his emotions cloud his judgment when handling cases, which Luna saw as a sign of immaturity in a judge. This led to disagreements and their breakup.

Today, Luna witnessed Meng Qi's emotional side again. She wasn't moved at all, like a cold machine devoid of any feelings.

"Please control your emotions, prosecutor. This is a criminal court, not a moral judgment. I think the prosecutor should understand what a criminal case needs: witness testimony is indispensable."

Now, the defendant's lawyer will make his/her statement.

Chen Mingren slowly stood up, glanced at Meng Qi, whose face was ashen,

"Your Honor is right. What criminal cases need most is evidence, irrefutable evidence. Right now, there is no direct evidence to prove that my client pushed Fang Zhentian down the stairs with his own hands."

My client deeply regrets Fang Zhentian's fall from the building. He has already stated that he will return the 120,000 yuan to Ms. Fang as soon as possible.

Regarding what happened at Ms. Fang's home, my client and I are deeply regretful but powerless to do anything about it, as my client was still detained in Stanley Prison at the time. We estimate it was a spontaneous act by some of her friends and family.

At the hospital, my client did not allow Luo Wang and the others to throw the child off the building. Perhaps Luo Wang and the other two had a misunderstanding. As for throwing the baby off the building later, it was because his hormones surged in that situation, making him lose his senses.

Furthermore, Hong Kong law does not define whether an infant whose brain is not fully developed is considered a true human being. According to…

Before he could finish speaking, Meng Qi slammed his fist on the table and stood up, pointing at Chen Mingren and shouting.

"What did you say? What do you mean by 'brain not fully developed'? What do you mean by 'whether or not one can be considered a true human being'?"

Chen Mingren waved his hand, silencing the commotion in the audience.

"Spanish law stipulates that a baby can only be considered a 'person' 24 hours after being separated from the mother, because at this time, the baby's sensory system is not yet fully developed,"

Meng Qi said through gritted teeth.

"Chen Mingren, as a lawyer, don't you even have a basic moral compass? Georgia law states that an embryo can be considered a human being at six weeks of pregnancy."

The Spanish law you mentioned only states that an infant who has not survived for 24 hours after being separated from the mother does not have legal inheritance rights, and it does not focus on whether the infant is even a human being.

As a human being, one's life cannot be taken away by others unless the law is violated. So I would like to ask you, if this baby had not been killed by being thrown, would she have continued to live?

Ting Hai is just an ordinary citizen; he doesn't represent the law. By what right does he have to take another person's life?

Chen Mingren was indeed trying to mislead the public. He didn't actually care whether Fang Zhentian was killed by Ding Xie or not. At most, Ding Xie would admit to manslaughter.

The hardest thing for Ting Hai to escape punishment for is those three children. Legally speaking, children are a vulnerable group. However, the deaths of Fong Chin-bo and the girl can be attributed to his underlings to help him share the blame.

The only difficult point in this lawsuit is the baby. So he focuses on the fact that the baby has been separated from the mother for less than 24 hours. He knows it's a far-fetched argument because as long as the baby is breathing, Ding Xie cannot take his life.

Chen Mingren gave Ding Hai a wink. Ding Hai was taken aback, then remembered what his legal assistant had told him. He picked up the Bible, his eyes welling up with tears.

"My Lord, grant me death to cleanse me of my sins. My body is possessed by the devil, and the devil controls my actions..."

It was remarkable that this rough-around-the-edges man had such a good memory; he recited a long passage from the Bible without hesitation, and his devout appearance aroused the sympathy of the jurors and the religious people in the audience…
