Me to prison?!
Adjournment.
At the prosecution's seats in the courtroom, Lü An let out a long sigh.
He quietly looked at the Litigation Materials before him.
Beside him, Zhang Meng rubbed her brow and said helplessly, "The opposing counsel..."
"Is highly skilled."
Lü An nodded heavily.
"Indeed."
"The collegial panel was about to determine that Chen Bin had criminal intent, but he brought it to a dead stop."
"He raised an objection and provided a legal basis for it."
"Who knows how the Collegial Panel Members will rule next? This is a little troublesome."
"Mm."
Zhang Meng turned her gaze toward the defense counsel's seat, rubbed her temples again, and said nothing.
Meanwhile, during the Adjournment.
In Luo Daxiang's livestream.
Taking advantage of the Adjournment, Luo Daxiang briefly explained the legal interpretations and argument techniques from the hearing to his viewers.
Su Bai had already explained the relevant points very clearly in court.
So Luo Daxiang merely offered a few brief additions regarding the arguments presented.
........Inside the Collegial Panel Discussion Room.
The three judges hearing Chen Bin's case sat facing one another.
Song Yuanhui placed the Litigation Materials in his hand on the table and frowned, speaking seriously yet helplessly:
"The arguments in this hearing are rather tricky!"
"Our collegial panel studied this case beforehand. Neither of you objected to finding that Chen Bin committed intentional homicide, did you?"
"But now defense counsel has raised the argument of justifiable self-defense and provided the corresponding legal basis."
"When we were making our determination just now, he objected on the spot."
"We were forced to adjourn."
"During this Adjournment, I wanted to ask what you two think of the defense counsel's argument that Chen Bin's actions constituted justifiable self-defense rather than intentional homicide."
Song Yuanhui delivered those remarks
