Chapter 744 is an attempted murder

The judge waved his hand to interrupt Deng Xinrong, preventing him from continuing his passionate speech.

"Please present evidence, prosecution," said the judge.

Lawyer He whispered to the assistant sitting next to him and then stood up. The assistant took a piece of paper from a folder and handed it to him. "This is a diagnosis certificate issued by the First People's Hospital of this city. It confirms that the victim, Ms. Lin Shuyao, suffered a miscarriage due to a knife wound to her abdomen."

Then the diagnosis certificate appeared on the big screen on one side of the court.

Then, Lawyer He continued, "Since there were only three people at the scene, there were no eyewitnesses. However, since there is a surveillance camera at home, the entire process was captured on camera."

The scene of that day began to play on the screen. Although I had seen it before, when I saw Deng Sisi stabbing my mother with a knife again, I couldn't help but close my eyes.

My parents were right not to appear in court. The ferocious look on Deng Sisi's face in the surveillance video clearly showed that she wanted to kill her!

Deng Xinrong watched coldly from the side, with only a flash of astonishment on his face. Then he watched indifferently as Deng Sisi tried to stab my mother with a knife again.

After the surveillance video finished playing, Attorney He said, "I believe this case was not an impulsive act of passion as the suspect claimed.

There are three reasons: First, we can see from the video that the suspect Deng Sisi went around from one end of the dining table to the other to get the fruit knife, taking several steps in between.

The fruit knife was placed in the fruit bowl at the other end. If she hadn't taken it out, no one present would have noticed the knife was there."

The students in the gallery nodded, "Indeed, the suspect is very familiar with the placement of items at the scene. It's obvious that he has been there before."

Another boy patted the man who had just spoken on the head and said, "You even stepped on it. Do you think he's a bandit? Didn't we say before that the suspect has been staying at his aunt's house for many years? It's normal for him to be familiar with her house."

Lawyer He continued to analyze: "So according to the suspect's standing position, she couldn't see the knife in the fruit bowl, but she walked over to grab the knife, which shows that she subjectively wanted to take the knife.

We all know that the characteristic of passionate murder is that people pick up any object as a weapon, which may be anything they can get their hands on.

However, the suspect had items within his reach including vases, teacups, and even a bottle of red wine.

She didn't take any of them, but went around to get the knife, so I think the suspect clearly does not meet the characteristics of passionate wounding."

Yes, I didn’t notice this at all when I was watching the video. I even thought that Deng Sisi revealed her true nature on impulse. Now it seems that she wanted to kill my mother at that time. She did it on purpose!

"No, I really was impulsive and just happened to walk over..." Deng Sisi shouted anxiously.

"Suspect, keep quiet!" The judge knocked on the table to stop her.

Lawyer He continued, "My second reason is that first-time offenders who inflict injury through passion often experience feelings of fear, panic, regret, and helplessness after injuring someone.

Judging from the surveillance video, Deng Sisi showed no such emotions at all, and instead attempted to attack again, apparently believing she had not yet achieved her goal.

Lawyer He flipped through the documents in his hand. "My third point is particularly crucial. The latter part of the video shows that the victim is not within the surveillance camera's range. After the suspect, Deng Sisi, chases after her, we can see her waving her hands and the sound of banging on the door."

He paused, his expression becoming exceedingly serious. "What happened in the part that the surveillance camera didn't capture? According to the victim, she hid in the storage room next to the stairs and called for help, but the suspect had no intention of letting her go and tried to break down the door to get in."

So how could this be a passionate attack? It was completely premeditated! Her intention was clearly not simply to harm someone, but to take the victim, Ms. Lin's life!

Therefore, the prosecution believes that this is not intentional injury, but attempted murder!"

After Lawyer He finished expressing his opinion, Deng Sisi's face turned pale and she burst into tears: "No, I didn't want to kill my aunt, I didn't think about it, I was just too angry at the time, I didn't know what I was doing!

Where’s my aunt? I want to see my aunt, she will definitely forgive me! ”

"Quiet! Suspect, keep quiet!" The judge knocked on the table repeatedly, but Deng Sisi ignored him as if she didn't hear him. She turned her head to look at the audience seats a little crazily. When she saw me, she stared at me straight, and her fierce eyes made me feel a chill on my back.

"Xia Yimeng, where's my aunt? Why isn't she here? Is it because you don't want her to come? You just can't stand seeing my aunt being nice to me!"

The judge's majestic voice rang out: "Suspect, if you do not keep quiet and leave the court, this case will be tried in absentia, and you will lose the opportunity to make an oral statement and defend yourself in court."

Deng Sisi finally calmed down, lowering her head and sobbing softly.

Lawyer He ignored Deng Sisi and continued to present evidence of Deng Xinrong's crime.

"According to Deng Sisi's confession, her behavior was instigated by her father, Deng Xinrong.

At that time, the surrounding neighbors saw Deng Xinrong taking Deng Sisi to Ms. Lin's door. At that time, Deng Sisi's words and actions were all controlled by Deng Xinrong.

Given the relationship between Deng Xinrong and Deng Sisi, it is completely reasonable for him to instigate Deng Sisi."

"Objection!" Deng Xinrong's defense lawyer stood up. "The father-daughter relationship described by the prosecution has no necessary connection to the case. It cannot be used to prove that my client committed incitement."

"The objection is valid," the judge said. "Please pay attention to the scope of the evidence presented by the prosecution."

Lawyer He said calmly, "We request to summon the witness to testify in court."

"agree!"

The side door of the court opened, and Deng Xinrong's brother and sister-in-law walked in from outside. When they came in, they obviously shuddered, especially Deng Xinrong's eldest brother Deng Xinguo, who looked as if he was so guilty that he wanted to run away at any time.

I heard someone whisper, "Why do these two witnesses look even more guilty than the suspect? Are they trying to give false testimony?"

Another said, "It's normal for rural people to feel nervous when entering court, as they've never been to court before. They don't seem like the kind of people who would dare to give false testimony."

After they took their places in the witness box, Attorney He asked, "You previously said Deng Xinrong instigated Deng Sisi to harm her aunt. Can you repeat what you said to the police?"
