Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 534: Chapter 375: Court Session! Second Trial!

The defendant Lv Xiong was also escorted by the bailiffs to the defendant’s position.

At this time, Lv Xiong’s condition was not good. His face was haggard, his body was thin like dead wood, and his eyes were full of bloodshot.

After Xu Liang transformed his physical condition into data.

The official found out about his addiction to thiabendazole, and he was in the ’detoxification’ stage, so his condition was not good.

But he still had personal thoughts.

Lv Xiong slowly turned his head to look at Xu Liang, then forcefully pulled a smile.

Xu Liang responded with a reassuring glance.

On the judge’s seat.

Zhao Yi looked around, then raised the gavel, and it fell with a ’bang’.

"Bang!"

"Have all parties arrived?"

Huang Ren glanced at his team members, leaned close to the microphone, and spoke slowly:

"The prosecution team is already here."

Zhao Yi nodded.

Xu Liang replied, "The defense team has arrived."

Arrived?

Zhao Yi paused, looked at the scene with Xu Liang being the only one on the defendant’s side, hesitant to speak, but ultimately said nothing.

He took a deep breath.

Seeing this, everyone involuntarily felt a shock and focused intently.

The next second....

"Bang!"

"This case, the Sanma Village shooting case in Hanhai City."

"The case has been prosecuted by the Hanhai City People’s Procuratorate and is being tried by the Hanhai City Intermediate Court on September 10th."

"In the first trial, both parties fully exchanged opinions, and finally, in the second opening of the first trial, announced the closing on September 17th."

"The first trial verdict sentenced the defendant Lv Xiong to death, with a three-year reprieve."

"Following the defendant’s dissent, an appeal for a second trial was made on September 18th."

"The court accepted his appeal application...."

He spoke, with a voice full of authority reaching everyone’s ears.

Until...

"The second trial will be heard by this court, the Lanshan Province High People’s Court!"

"The second trial of the Sanma Village shooting case in Hanhai City is scheduled for October 1st!"

"Now announced....."

Zhao Yi paused, then quietly lowered the gavel.

"Bang!"

"Court is now in session!"

Court is now in session....

The second trial is now in session!

At the moment those words fell, everyone present was stunned, then stared intently at the scene.

Zhao Yi, with a serious expression, turned to look at the defendant’s side.

"Defendant, please truthfully state your demands."

As the appellant, naturally, he had to speak first.

Xu Liang stood up, took a deep breath, and then slowly began to speak:

"Respected judge, and everyone in the hearing room."

"I am the defense lawyer for the defendant Lv Xiong, and have obtained full authorization, so I will represent all matters concerning the defendant Lv Xiong in this case."

"And what I have done for my client Lv Xiong is..."

He paused slightly while speaking.

Then he spoke again:

"A plea of innocence!"

Plea... plea of innocence!?

Suddenly.

The whole scene abruptly froze, followed by some faces of shock.

"Innocence plea? Shouldn’t it be a plea for reduced sentence? During the initial trial, he used mental illness for a reduced sentence!"

"Hiss, how can the second trial be so arrogant after losing the first trial...."

"Using a hunting rifle to kill and still claim innocence? Does he really think mental illness is a universal Pill Book Iron Certificate!!!"

"Even the defendant himself thinks he killed someone.... What’s this lawyer doing after all?"

"...."

Everyone in the hearing room was stunned.

Even if Xu Liang had pleaded for reduced sentence to three years reprieve, it wouldn’t have shocked them so much.

This demand was simply outrageous!!!

But the problem arose.

Xu Liang... never fought a battle he wasn’t sure of winning!

In the hearing room, the members of the Dong Clan suddenly felt a heavy heart, frowned, and looked at the scene without speaking.

On the judge’s seat, Zhao Yi also seriously looked at Xu Liang.

"Bang!"

"Silence!"

He knocked the gavel to maintain order, then set his eyes on Xu Liang and said:

"Please continue."

Xu Liang nodded, then stood up.

"Respected judge."

"During the first trial, my side submitted the certificate of mental evaluation of the defendant Lv Xiong, and the evaluation result was mental health."

"At the same time, in connection with the opposing side’s testimony, my side shifted the focus to the drug aspect and had the hospital conduct a test on him."

"Ultimately, it was found that the defendant Lv Xiong did not take any drugs, but the mental state he exhibited was contrary, and finally...."

While speaking.

Xu Liang, in the scene, held up a vial, which was....

"Thiabendazole!"

"This is an animal tranquilizer that has extremely strong addiction and side effects. Long-term injection will exhibit drug-like side effects such as mental confusion and hallucinations!"

Everyone listened quietly, not interrupting.

During the first trial, Xu Liang did indeed mention this kind of information.

However....

Why bring this up again in the second trial?

As everyone furrowed their brows, vaguely... Xu Liang abruptly changed his tone.

"And according to my detailed investigation, my side discovered one thing."

"That is... a large storage of animal tranquilizer thiabendazole in Sanma Village, which is easy to cause addiction, and these drugs were not used for livestock but were deliberately stored by people, and...."

"These drugs were not used on livestock!"

A large amount of drugs?

What does this amount mean?

Moreover... animal drugs not used for livestock, then it must be... humans?

Vaguely, everyone thought of Lv Xiong.

That is to say... Sanma Village may have many people like Lv Xiong, addicted to thiabendazole!?

But what does this have to do with the case?

Everyone was puzzled, instinctively looking at Xu Liang.

And at this moment, Xu Liang swiftly changed his tone, questioning everyone.

"Before revealing the next clue, I would like to ask everyone a question."

"That is.... "

"Why would Sanma Village inject humans with animal tranquilizer thiabendazole!"

When he said this.

Everyone in the scene, including Zhao Yi in the judge’s seat, suddenly fell silent.

Why... use animal drugs for humans?

Zhao Yi’s brows suddenly furrowed.
