"How can it be a death sentence... Mommy will die, right?"
Zhuo Yue burst into tears.
Both siblings felt that Zhuo Jinxin shouldn't be sentenced to death because the person Zhuo Jinxin intended to kill was Xie Qian, who was only seriously injured at the time. As for the driver, Feng Gao, it was purely accidental injury, and it was manslaughter!
The court apparently disagreed.
The person Zhuo Jinxin really wanted to kill was indeed Xie Qian, but the killing method Zhuo Jinxin had formulated included Feng Gao from the beginning. As intellectually sound adults, Zhuo Jinxin and Karl both knew that Feng Gao would die. If Feng Gao didn't die, how could they be sure that Xie Qian would be killed?
They just don’t care that Feng Gao will die, but that doesn’t mean Feng Gao’s death is “manslaughter”!
In fact, ever since Du Li withdrew from the case, Zhuo Yue guessed that Zhuo Jinxin's sentence would be heavier than they imagined, so Zhuo Chen was going to ask the Feng family to sign a letter of apology, and Zhuo Yue also restrained her temper and followed him.
Admit mistakes humbly, act pitiful, and kneel down.
Zhuo Yue didn't mess around with this whole process.
I didn’t expect the Feng family to be so stubborn!
Unexpectedly, Zhuo Jinxin would be sentenced to death!
Even if he was sentenced to suspended death penalty like Carl, he could avoid the death penalty by postponing it first, and then seek a commutation of sentence later. The death penalty cannot be handled in this way. Once sentenced, the death penalty will be carried out after review by the Supreme Court.
Mommy will die!
Zhuo Yue cried harder and harder: "Brother, we have to do something... We must do something!"
Zhuo Chen nodded without hesitation, "Of course! This is just the first trial. We'll change lawyers and appeal!"
Du Li is not good enough, and the current lawyer is not good enough either, so let’s change lawyers.
As long as you are willing to spend money, you can always hire a good lawyer.
Zhuo Chen had no other aspirations now. He shared Zhuo Yue's sentiments: a suspended death sentence would be fine. He wanted to save his life first, then talk about sentence reduction. As long as he was alive, there was always a way out. Even if Zhuo Jinxin had to spend 20 years in prison... that was still hope!
Zhuo Yue's eyes were blurred with tears.
Yes, this is just the first instance judgment.
She and her brother can appeal on behalf of their mother. The death penalty in the first instance does not mean the same result will be obtained in the second instance.
Zhuo Yue tried to comfort herself, but when she thought of the Xie family, she couldn't convince herself that there would be a different verdict in the second trial.
"It's useless, brother, it's useless... The Xie family won't let Mommy go..."
Zhuo Yue firmly believes that the Xie family interfered with judicial justice.
——If she were the Xie family, she would do the same.
To save Zhuo Jinxin, they must have the power to check and balance the Xie family, and they must get rid of the interference of the Xie family. Only then can the lawyers hired by the brother and sister be effective!
"Brother, make that call. I can't think of any other way to save Mommy except contacting that person."
Zhuo Yue choked up and took out her cell phone.
She remembered that phone number very clearly.
Zhuo Yue regarded the owner of the phone as her life-saving straw. She dialed the number with trembling hands, and there were still two digits left to be pressed when Zhuo Chen reached out and held her down.
Zhuo Yue looked surprised.
Zhuo Chen's face was filled with pain and determination. "Yueyue, we can't fight. At least not now. Have you forgotten what we agreed on?"
The brother and sister had indeed agreed on this before.
They agreed not to expose this important network of contacts and to keep this relationship so that the future lives of the brother and sister would be guaranteed.
But at that time, Zhuo Yue didn't expect that Zhuo Jinxin would be sentenced to death. She thought that Zhuo Jinxin could save her life and at most suffer in prison!
Now that the death penalty has been sentenced in the first trial, if Zhuo Jinxin still insists on the approach agreed upon previously, her life will be in danger.
Between "living security" and "mommy's life", Zhuo Yue chose the latter.
What Zhuo Yue couldn't believe was that her brother Zhuo Chen seemed to want to choose the former!
Zhuo Yue shivered even more violently. She couldn't control her shaking. After being siblings for more than ten years, it seemed like she was getting to know Zhuo Chen for the first time.
Zhuo Yue couldn't help but scream: "Mommy will die!"
