Chapter 1387 I'm just here to watch the show, and maybe kill him while I'm at it.
Lu Dachao also felt disgusted. He had gone to great lengths to find several thugs from the mainland, only to be caught after just one heist and the second heist. Not much gold ended up in Lu Dachao's hands.
Now he has no choice but to order his men to kill Sha Biao. Once Sha Biao is dead, the trail will be cut off, and even if the police suspect him, they will have no evidence.
……
The High Court is holding a hearing, and the newspapers are still full of articles about Ting Hai's case. The focus of everyone's discussion is whether Ting Hai has a mental illness.
Those who know Ting Hai suspect he has a mental illness. What kind of good person would smash the table while eating? Who would throw someone into the sea because of a single sentence?
As soon as this argument came out, it was immediately attacked. Aren't all those gang members like that?
Regardless, the audience was packed with people who came to observe the proceedings. When Da Bao arrived, he still sat in the corner, but he didn't come alone. Xiao Dao changed his clothes and sat next to Da Bao.
Da Bao glanced at him sideways.
"Tell me, what are you doing here? Just here to watch the show?"
Xiao Dao said in a low voice.
"Master, I really just came to watch the fun."
Da Bao, furious, flicked him on the forehead. "You think you can just bring twelve knives to watch the show? This is clearly a case of 'if the court can't kill Ding Xie today, you're going to kill him too!' Do you think no one can see that? Where did that kind and honest thief go?"
Now look what's happened! He's found a great godfather and learned two Sunflower Manuals. In terms of speed, even Da Bao might not be able to beat him. Da Bao slapped him on the back of the head and said he had to find this kid a wife quickly, otherwise he'd end up like his godfather, having his manhood cut off.
Luna sat in her office, her head throbbing. Chen Mingren and Meng Qi had both submitted new evidence, making it difficult for her to decide. It wasn't about her abusing her power; no one dared to bribe Luna. To her, the law was supreme, and any act that disrespected it was unacceptable.
There was a knock on the door, and her lover, Judge James, entered. The two shared a kiss.
Judge James hesitated, then Luna put her arm around his waist and said...
"Honey, is something the matter?"
Judge James smiled.
“Sweetheart, today’s case is very difficult. The law stipulates that mentally ill patients are not legally responsible during an episode. I think Ding Hai’s fate is to end up in a mental hospital.”
Luna's face gradually darkened. She slowly released her grip, her beautiful eyes narrowed, and her voice was low and stern.
"Who told you to say that to me before the trial? I remember telling you very clearly that we would not interfere with each other's cases, and I would not let anyone's emotions affect my case."
Do you think that just because we slept together, you can interfere with my case?
Judge James was dumbfounded. It was as if he were seeing Luna for the first time. He never expected that the woman he had been making love with just last night would reprimand him so harshly over a case.
Judge James was somewhat enraged, and he waved his arms and shouted.
"I just want you to focus on something, not to bend the law for personal gain. You are my lover, shouldn't I remind you?"
Luna's finger touched his robe.
"Do you think I'm an eighteen-year-old girl who can be swayed by sweet talk? You accepted money from someone and thought you could control me, which is why you came here to say these things to me."
"Shit, we're finished. And I'll petition the tribunal to remove you from your judgeship. Go back to your cowshed in New Zealand, where you should rot."
Judge James was ashen-faced. He knew Luna's background and that a single word from her could ruin him. His face turned pale and then red, and finally, without saying a word, he turned and slammed the door shut as he left.
Luna's expression gradually turned solemn. She adjusted her wig in front of the mirror, straightened her robes, then called her assistant in, gathered all the evidence, and headed towards the courtroom...
Ding Hai is completely different from how he looked three days ago. He is wearing a wrinkled suit, his hair is messy, and his face is covered in stubble. His eyes are fixed on the ceiling, and he is muttering to himself. To anyone, he looks like a mentally ill person, a madman.
Chen Mingren stood up, picked up a stack of appraisal documents, and said loudly.
"This is a report issued by the director and attending physician of Castle Peak Hospital, proving that Ting Hai has a serious mental disorder and violent tendencies, and must be hospitalized for treatment."
He handed the documents to the judge's assistant. Luna also had a copy of the expert report. Luna glanced at Meng Qi; he looked very energetic today, having cut his hair and shaved.
Meng Qi stood up, bowed slightly to Luna, and then turned to the jury and the audience.
"The so-called mentally ill person is someone who is unable to recognize or control their behavior when committing a harmful act, and lacks the main elements of a crime, that is, culpability."
I admit this, because he cannot control his behavior and everything he does is not from his own heart. Such a mentally ill patient does not need to bear legal responsibility.
However, defense attorney, I would like to ask one question: what mentally ill person, unable to recognize their own actions, would threaten the victim to drop the charges? And if she didn't drop the charges, would they throw her child off the building?
Is this a lack of self-awareness? Is this a lack of self-control? If he couldn't control his actions, how could he command the actions of Luo Wang and the other two?
Are we to expect three normal people to listen to a mentally ill person?
Chen Mingren stood up, and Meng Qi's reaction was exactly what he expected.
"It is precisely because Ting Hai could not control himself that he committed such a heinous act. If he were a normal person, would he have done such a thing? Throwing a baby off a building in front of so many medical staff? I think it is because of this that I am even more certain that Ting Hai is mentally ill."
The audience was abuzz with discussion, with opinions almost evenly split. One half thought the lawyer was right, believing that only a mentally ill person could commit such heinous acts. The other half, however, believed that such behavior was unforgivable, but did not deny that Ting Hai was mentally ill.
Meng Qi sneered.
"If this is considered mental illness, then all the hundreds of thousands of triad members in Hong Kong are mentally ill. In the future, there will be no need to try these triad members for their crimes, because why would a normal person take a gasoline can and burn down someone else's house? Why would a normal person beat up another person in the street without any reason?"
Some in the audience began to side with Meng Qi...
