Chapter 234: Chapter 112: Can the Elderly Commit Crimes at Will? (Extra for Monthly Votes)_3

Old Tang heard and said, "So you knew there wasn't an electric scooter that hit you, but you still demanded Chi Yan to pay for your medical expenses on the grounds that you were hit, correct?"

Ah? Guo Erdan quickly said, "No, what I... I felt it!"

Lawyer Sun's face turned utterly dark, and he rushed to say something; however, Old Tang didn't give him a chance.

"You say you felt it? The surveillance video shows Chi Yan was so far away from you, where did your feeling come from, Judgment Chief, I believe the defendant is committing perjury."

Would Old Tang dare to take on this responsibility without any real skills?

Judgment Chief Old Qian spoke up, "Please clarify your answer, defendant, did you or did you not feel anything?"

Under the frantic gaze of Lawyer Sun, Guo Erdan finally realized, "No, I didn't feel anything."

Old Tang smiled and then said, "Guo Shengfang, you say you made a mistake, well then, at the twenty-sixth second of the surveillance video, Guo Erdan had already fallen, and you were looking in that direction at that time."

"At that point, Chi Yan hadn't passed by yet, and you said you made a mistake?"

"Judgment Chief, I request to play the surveillance video in court and pause at the twenty-sixth second."

Old Qian quickly said, "Request granted."

Lawyer Sun's complexion changed instantly, it was one thing for the opposition's questions to be granted, but now their request to play the video in court had been approved too!

This indicated that the judge was already leaning towards a side...

You have to know, criminal defense isn't how many people understand it, incessant talking by the defense lawyer in court.

In fact, many criminal not guilty verdicts are like Old Tang, who work diligently out of court to achieve innocence.

In court, if the judge doesn't let the lawyer speak, then no matter how capable the lawyer is, they can't show it.

In a past case, a lawyer bribed two hundred thousand just so the judge wouldn't interrupt them, allowing them to fully defend their case.

However, there was no way out for him here, the video began playing, pausing at the twenty-second mark.

Judgment Chief Old Qian warned several times to no avail, and directly called in the bailiffs.

Two bailiffs came in and took Guo Erdan, wheelchair and all, out of the courtroom.

It's true you're older, and they might not dare to be tough with you, but if you think age alone will save you, you're sadly mistaken.

The court debate ended, and it was time for the final statements from the parties involved.

Chi Yan spoke, "The other party has been saying there were no serious consequences, that this was a small matter, but I don't think it's a small matter, I was trying to help out of goodwill!"

"If such extortion is not punished, then how can we dare to help others in the future? What if there had been no cameras? What if I hadn't recorded a video?"

"Does that mean they can go unpunished and then continue to extort the next kind-hearted person? If this continues, who would want to be kind-hearted?"

"Do kind-hearted people deserve to be extorted?"

Old Tang looked back at Chi Yan, impressed with the young woman.

As a lawyer, it wasn't quite appropriate for him to say such things, but there was no problem for the party involved, this was secure.

Guo Shengfang's statement was just sobbing, while crying she spoke of knowing she was wrong.

The case was adjourned, and there was much discussion in the gallery, with many people praising Chi Yan.

"She's absolutely right, the current trend is worrying, no one knows whether the old person lying down is trying to extort someone or what; they definitely deserve a harsh sentence!"

"They need to know there's a price for extortion, otherwise what's the use of these light and toothless mediations each time?"

"After all, just one successful extortion and they would make back all that mediation money."

After a long wait, Old Qian returned from the adjournment to deliver the verdict.

Seeing this scene, Lawyer Sun's face turned ashen; the quick sentencing indicated that the court had made up its mind early on.
