Important things bear repeating three times: evidence! You're conjuring things out of thin air

A determination, huh?!

Su Bai knew what the presiding judge meant by her question during the trial...

She meant that if Fang Rufeng had not been thinking of killing anyone, why would he have searched for the punishment for murder?

There was nothing wrong with that question as an inference based on common sense.

But what was the problem?

The problem was that the presiding judge should not have asked that question during the trial.

Because the court needed to base its judgments and determinations on evidence.

Especially in criminal cases... under the relevant provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law.

Making a determination without relevant evidence and a complete chain of evidence did not comply with the relevant litigation procedures.

Lin Fengru's question just now had violated that principle.

Although reason and ordinary human experience could be used when making findings and accepting evidence and legal opinions.

But then she had asked, if he had not made preparations for a crime, why had he searched for it?

Did that not amount to saying, conversely, that searching for it was equivalent to making preparations for a crime?

Bullshit!

Besides, why had Fang Rufeng searched for that question?

The main reason was that he had suffered humiliation, and the thought had flashed through his mind.

But he had not objectively committed Preparatory Crime as described in the preceding statement.

Su Bai could not understand the presiding judge's question, but he also recognized which way she was leaning.

For now, however, the question was directed at Fang Rufeng.

Facing the presiding judge's question, Fang Rufeng looked a little nervous, but he still spoke:

"I searched for it because I was very angry at the time."

"I was out working, but Xie Tingting was cheating on me at home. No man could tolerate that!"
