Chapter 1151 Statement
Xu Lin's face was ugly, as white as a piece of paper.
He was silent for a long time, until the judge reminded him to continue to testify, and then he spoke again: "I... stepped on it, beer flowed from its mouth, and then I stepped on it a few more times, its belly was swollen like a ball , crunch, crunch when you step on it... more beer comes out..."
In the end, he couldn't continue. He probably realized that his behavior challenged social morality. Xu Lin gritted his teeth and looked at the old lady in the seat: "I was a little drunk at the time, I'm sorry..."
"Can half a can of beer make you so drunk that you lose control, Mr. Xu Lin?" Mu Zi was unmoved, and asked indifferently, "How many times did you step on it?"
Xu Lin was silent, and after a while he still shook his head: "I can't remember..."
The judge couldn't help asking him: "I can't remember, is it because I stepped on it too many times?"
Xu Lin didn't answer.
Mu Zi's questioning ended here.
In order to win this trial, Mu Zi promised the judge that he would try to be as brief as possible and try not to waste judicial costs, so he didn't have much time to prepare the closing statement. The judge gave the lawyer and the prosecutor a maximum of five minutes for each brief statement.
Mu Zi is the prosecutor, so she will start first.
When she stood up, she supported her swollen belly, which was very conspicuous, and everyone's eyes fell on her belly involuntarily.
Mu Zi didn't care, and walked slowly in front of the jury.
"After pregnancy, I became very lazy. I was too lazy to think about many things, and I didn't want to think about it." Somewhat abruptly, when every second counted, Mu Zi talked about her pregnancy feelings in a leisurely manner.
"People around me persuade me to rest more, and my colleagues take good care of me. Even people I don't know on the road will kindly move out of the way when they see my belly. At this time, I feel that the world is really beautiful. Everyone is full of love for the weak." Mu Zi looked back at the old man, and said in a calm tone, "Later, I got to know that old lady."
Mu Zi looked at the jury: "A poor, helpless, lonely old man. He was eighty years old, her husband died early, and her only son died of a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of fifty-five. She only had a dog to live with. Mrs. and her dog spent twelve years selling junk together."
She exhaled slowly, suppressing the clamoring emotions, and her voice became deeper and deeper: "Twelve years...she sent away her husband and her son, and twelve years later, she had to...send away her dog again, And then? What's left of her?"
"When I first found out about this case, I actually didn't intend to pay attention to it." Muzi took a breath, raised her head and smiled faintly, "It's really not worth it, is it? It's just a dog.
But is that really just a dog? In fact, we all know how hurt she is, but it's weird to pretend to ignore it, isn't it? That puppy has a name, an owner, and a home of its own, and the defendant knows it all! He still did it! Because he also thinks it's just a dog! "
Mu Zi was furious, with uncontrollable anger in his voice: "We are always complaining about how indifferent this society has become, why do we ignore the suffering of this old man without even blinking our eyelids after the cruel thing happened?! She lost a loved one! And the culprit just needs to say sorry lightly, and then pay five hundred dollars, and that's it? It's over?
Atrocities go unpunished and innocents suffer. Is this the society we want to live in? "
