Lü Hongmei found it hard to accept
the outcome of this second-instance judgment.
But compared with Lü Hongmei, Feng Qian found it even harder to accept.
After all, aside from the trial's outcome,
Jiang Hetao had said outright in the discussion room that he would remove her from her judicial duties as a judge.
Inside the courtroom.
After announcing the verdict, Jiang Hetao straightened the documents on the bench and prepared to leave the courtroom.
Seeing Jiang Hetao's cold expression,
Feng Qian hurried over at a jog and said nervously, "Presiding Judge Jiang, I... I didn't do it on purpose on the bench... I didn't..."
"Presiding Judge Jiang... I know I was wrong..."
Faced with Feng Qian's words, Jiang Hetao remained cold and said nothing, walking straight toward his office.
Zhang Yingying sighed deeply at the side.
A judge like Feng Qian, who relied on subjective judgments, did indeed affect the fairness of judicial rulings.
Presiding Judge Jiang had done this
because he was worried that Feng Qian's subjectivity might lead her astray in the future, or that something unexpected might happen. For example...
Zhang Yingying glanced at Su Bai in the litigant's seats.
She withdrew her gaze
and left the courtroom.
At the litigant's seats.
Su Bai glanced at Wang Mingxuan in the parties' seats.
After the court acquitted him and ordered his immediate release,
Wang Mingxuan's eyes reddened. Once the court police removed his handcuffs, Xia Xue hurried over to him from the family seats.
Then she brought Wang Mingxuan over to thank Su Bai.
"Lawyer Su, this time... thank you so much for this."
Wang Mingxuan spoke excitedly.
Standing beside him, Xia Xue added, "Lawyer Su, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my husband might have spent quite a few years in prison."
