Chapter 411 Grandma's Respect for the Chief Judge
My cousin's attorney, He Jinyan, took out the complaint and began to speak. He said sternly, "Presiding Judge, judges, as the attorney for plaintiff Xia Jundi, our lawsuit requests that the five defendants be held criminally responsible and required to bear civil liability for compensation.
The facts and reasons are as follows: In order to demand a betrothal gift of 1.28 million yuan and a BMW X5 from the plaintiff's fiancé, the defendant Liu Huifang, together with her son Xia Mingfeng and daughter-in-law Huang Cuicui, induced the victim Xia Jundi to take food mixed with the powerful sedative triazolam, despite the fact that she was pregnant.
After the plaintiff fell unconscious, he instructed the defendant Liu Baoguo to tie up the plaintiff and imprison him in a deserted cellar.
Because Liu Baoguo was addicted to gambling and forgot about the plaintiff, the plaintiff was rescued five days later. At this time, the plaintiff had a miscarriage and fell into a coma due to lack of water and food and the cold.
At the same time, severe sepsis occurred. The defendant's actions caused great physical and mental harm to the plaintiff, and he paid huge medical expenses.
The defendant's behavior constitutes the crime of kidnapping, and he has shown no remorse for the harm he has caused to the plaintiff. He hopes that the court will impose a severe sentence in accordance with the law.
At the same time, they demanded compensation for medical expenses, nutrition expenses, lost wages, and mental damages totaling 2.3 million yuan."
After saying that, he submitted relevant evidence on the spot, including the police report, the transcript of his cousin's surrender, the video I recorded when rescuing my cousin, the transcripts we made at the Public Security Bureau, and the hospital's diagnosis certificate. It can be said that the evidence is irrefutable.
The presiding judge looked at my grandmother and asked, "Defendant Liu Huifang, do you have anything to say about the plaintiff's attorney's statement?"
My grandmother was feeling a little guilty because of the serious atmosphere in the courtroom, but when the presiding judge called on her to speak, she suddenly felt more confident.
She shouted loudly, "Your Majesty, I am innocent!" and was about to kneel down, but the bailiffs on both sides hurriedly pulled her back, preventing her from kneeling.
One of the law students sitting in the back couldn't help but burst out laughing, while another muttered, "You've watched too many TV dramas, you've really imitated them."
The presiding judge frowned. She must have seen a lot, so she managed not to laugh. "Our country has been established for many years. This is not allowed. Stand up and talk properly."
My grandmother finally stood up straight and started howling at the top of her lungs: "Oh, my Lord..."
The lawyer next to her whispered to her, "Don't call me Justice."
"Your Honor..."
Oh, my grandma watches a lot of TV dramas, and she also follows Hong Kong legal dramas.
The lawyer was helpless: "Just call the presiding judge."
Grandma remembered it now: "Your Honorable Judge..."
My uncle and my dad both lowered their heads and covered their faces, and I almost laughed out loud.
Grandma's respect for the presiding judge is beyond words.
The students at the back wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, so they began to recite the Eight Honors and Eight Shames and core values in a low voice to distract themselves.
The presiding judge was somewhat helpless and waved his hand at Grandma: "Go on."
When the grandma heard the presiding judge ask her to speak, she immediately became full of energy. She slapped her thigh and said, "I'm doing this entirely for my granddaughter's own good. Just think about it, what if she's a girl marrying far away in Hedong Province and is bullied by her in-laws? My family lives far away and can't help her normally."
The presiding judge was a little impatient and reminded her: "Speak to the point."
"Hey, let me get to the point. The point is that they gave a lot of betrothal gifts, so they wouldn't dare to beat or scold her easily. Think about it, if you spent a lot of money to marry a wife and then beat her away, wouldn't that be a big loss?
So the higher the betrothal gift, the more seriously her in-laws will take her. But my granddaughter won't listen. After all, she is my own granddaughter, how could I harm her?
I don't want to keep the money for myself, I plan to let Jundi take it with her when she gets married. Ultimately, she will take it back to her husband's family."
