Chapter 1692: Trial Begins

Zhou Andong, Huang Yali, and Wang Wentian found a seat in the back and sat down. Several media outlets had also set up their equipment, ready to record this historic moment.

Soon, the trial began, and Zhao Kun was brought into the courtroom. His face was haggard, and his eyes revealed a very complex expression, with a desire for life and a fear of death.

Whether it was complete death or rebirth, it was today, so he had a desire for life and a fear of death in his heart.

When he walked toward the defendant's seat, his eyes unconsciously looked at Gong Juhua. At this time, his eyes changed again, which was guilt.

And the eyes of the victim Huang Fan's family looking at Zhao Kun were filled with deep hatred, staring at him, as if they wanted to swallow him alive.

Of the three Huang brothers, only Huang Fan was the only male, who was to carry on the Huang family line. Once this guy died, the Huang family would be extinct.

But even if Zhao Kun was shot, it would be useless. The Huang family had no descendants, so how could the three Huang brothers be reconciled?

Therefore, after Huang Fan died, the three Huang brothers discussed having another one.

But the eldest was old, so he definitely couldn't do it. The second could barely use it, and whether he could give birth had a probability, but it was definitely not big.

Therefore, this task fell on the third, Huang Taichang. This guy was the director of the City Appearance Office and had just passed forty, exactly the age of being in the prime of life.

He also agreed and discussed with his mistress before the New Year to give birth to a son for him, but after trying for more than two months, there was no movement, which made the three Huang brothers anxious, so they hated Zhao Kun even more.

Dong Herong looked at the members of the trial organization entering the court, among whom the presiding judge was inconsistent with what was notified before the trial.

The presiding judge notified before was named Li Zonglin, and this was a woman named Wei Hongyan. He had noticed this when investigating the family situation of Huang Fan.

Huang Fan's third uncle was the director of the City Appearance Office, Huang Taichang, and his wife was the director of the District Women's Federation, who had a very good relationship with Wei Hongyan.

A sneer appeared on Dong Herong's face. The change of trial group members was not notified in advance. He really underestimated the courage of these people.

However, he didn't raise any objections, because if an unfair trial really appeared, under such procedural violations.

As long as he appealed, he had 100% certainty that the case would be revoked and retried, and more importantly, once the Huang family's family background was exposed, public opinion would definitely be one-sided, which was very favorable to them.

Soon the trial began, and everyone pricked up their ears, listening carefully to the prosecutor's accusations, recording every word of the defendant.

Especially the media reporters present, they tried to find breakthroughs in the case from these details, so that they could write news drafts more targetedly.

The lawyer hired by Huang Taichang was very famous in Guangdong Province and was also his friend, named Han Li Hui.

Originally, Han Li Hui didn't want to take this case, because he knew very well in his heart.

This case had too much influence, and the whole country was paying attention, especially the words Zhou Andong said when accepting interviews.

It triggered a nationwide discussion, which also included a large number of legal workers.

Everyone was thinking about this case, thinking about Zhou Andong's words, and he concluded.

This case would definitely bring no small changes to the country's judiciary.

Therefore, the probability of Huang Taichang wanting to send the defendant to the execution ground was not big.

But due to Huang Taichang's face, he couldn't refuse, so he agreed.

But since the presiding judge members entered the court, his face also became a bit ugly.

Because he also didn't know about the change of the presiding judge.

And he knew the family situation of Huang Taichang very well, so naturally he knew the friendship between Wei Hongyan and Huang Taichang.

If he was just an ordinary lawyer, a lawyer who only wanted to make money, he would definitely be very happy to see this situation.

After all, the presiding judge was one of his own, and the case would definitely develop according to the result he wanted.

He wasn't an incarnation of justice, but he cherished his feathers very much.

Now he was considered successful, and if this case had black-box operations, once exposed, his reputation would stink.

But it was too late to say anything now. Since he was standing here, he had to strive for rights and interests for his client.

Therefore, as soon as the trial began, the debate was unusually fierce, and Dong Herong constantly raised objections.

Han Li Hui was also experienced and raised one sharp question after another.

It could be said that their questioning was spicy, not to mention Zhao Kun standing in the defendant's seat, even the public prosecutor and the prosecutor felt great pressure.

After more than two hours of trial, both sides made their final statements.

First was Han Li Hui: "Respected presiding judge and members of the trial group, the defendant Zhao Kun had a dispute with Huang Fan, Zhang Xu, Xu Jingchun, and others due to reasons, and then held a sharp knife he carried with him to stab Huang Fan's chest and back, Zhang Xu's chest, abdomen, and Xu Jingchun's abdomen and other places several times.

Causing Huang Fan's death, and Zhang Xu and Xu Jingchun's serious injuries. The defendant Zhao Kun's act of illegally depriving others of their lives constitutes the crime of intentional homicide. Zhao Kun operated in violation of regulations, and when city management law enforcement personnel investigated and dealt with it according to law, he did not obey management and had a conflict with law enforcement personnel.

In the process of this case, although Huang Fan, Zhang Xu, and Xu Jingchun bear certain responsibilities, Zhao Kun's crime is particularly serious and is not enough for a lenient punishment. Moreover, the criminal circumstances are extremely bad, the means are extremely cruel, the consequences are particularly serious, and he should be sentenced to death according to law, immediately executed."

Next was Dong Herong: "Respected presiding judge and members of the trial group, I quote a few words from Chairman Zhou Andong of the Yugong Group here as a statement.

Peddlers and hawkers are legitimate professions that have existed since ancient times. He is in this city, forced by life, engaged in a humble and poor job, with a difficult life and meager income.

But no matter how this society hurts him, he didn't steal or rob, didn't earn money by hurting others, so why should he be deprived of his power to survive?

I want to ask everyone present and the presiding judge and the comrades of the trial group, when a person's rice bowl for survival is smashed and he is forced into a desperate situation, what would you do? Would you be calmer and more patient than Zhao Kun?

Those who establish good laws for the world, the world will be governed. Our laws, our urban management system, are they meant to make our people happier or to make them more miserable?

As law enforcers and also rule makers, is your mission to make this society more harmonious or to make it more tragic?"

Initially, when Zhou Andong said these words, it caused a strong reaction and sensation.

But at this moment, in the courtroom, on such an occasion, when these words were spoken by Dong Herong, this lawyer, it was even more deafening.

Wei Hongyan knocked on the gavel: "Temporarily adjourn the court, and pronounce the verdict at four o'clock in the afternoon." ===== CHAPTER 1693 =====
