Chapter 252: Anger
Chapter 252: Anger
The day of the trial came in a blink of an eye. Juzi went to the courtroom early. Lian Cuiwei looked much more energetic today, and the demeanor of the rich lady she once was showed again.
The prosecutor showed many videos of Lian Cuiwei smashing and looting the scene and stabbing Lian Fulai with a fruit knife. The plaintiff's lawyer also repeatedly emphasized Lian Cuiwei's cruelty and the impact of her father's murder on society. He said that the defendant confessed to her crimes and the evidence was conclusive, and he agreed with the prosecutor that Lian Cuiwei should be severely punished.
It seems that unless Lian Cuiwei is sentenced to death, it will not be enough to quell the public anger.
When Lian Cuiwei spoke, she first showed the abrasions on her wrists. Although they had healed, the injuries were still clearly visible.
Lian Cuiwei said: "I confessed to the murder, but I was tortured and forced to confess against my will."
Plaintiff’s lawyer: “Objection.”
Lawyer Hong: "This is the crux of the case. Please allow my client to finish speaking."
Prosecutor: "The objection is invalid. Please continue speaking."
Lian Cuiwei's voice trembled slightly: "On the second day after I entered the police station, the interrogators handcuffed my hands behind the chair and tied my long hair to the chair so that I could not move my head. Then they hit me in the face with a flashlight and did not allow me to close my eyes, causing me to be temporarily blind. I still cannot see clearly.
On the third day, I had been thirsty and hungry for a whole day and night, but no matter how much I begged, I was not given a sip of water. However, the policeman who interrogated me sat opposite me and drank tea slowly.
On the fifth day, I was not allowed to sleep for three consecutive days. Whenever I closed my eyes, they would shock me with electric batons. Even when I fainted several times, they still forced me to keep my eyes open.
On the eighth day, they twisted my right arm down from my shoulder, tied my left arm to my right arm from the bottom, and hung it on the window beam until I fainted from exhaustion.
Half a month later, I told them that I had stomach pain and bleeding, and that I might be pregnant. But the policeman named Li kicked me in the stomach, causing me to bleed until now.
I really couldn't stand their daily torture, so I had no choice but to sign the confession they wrote.
In fact, I don’t think I am guilty, because I was pushed and thrown onto the coffee table by Lian Fulai, and I took up the fruit knife to block Lian Fulai. It was not until the fruit knife reached Lian Fulai’s chest that I saw it was a fruit knife, because it was only a moment, and I couldn’t stop, so I stabbed Lian Fulai. ”
Lian Cuiwei's intermittent and low sobs made many people who were listening below cry along with her, and there was a loud cry for a while.
The reason why Lian Cuiwei pleaded guilty was not because she had suffered various inhuman tortures, but because of Ji Cangzhou's divorce agreement.
His mother was gone, his beloved no longer wanted him, his father had given up on him, and he felt that there was no point in living, so he confessed against his will.
Lian Cuiwei didn't know that Lian Fulai had been in a coma. Her hatred for her father grew deeper and deeper. She also felt hopeless and desperate because she couldn't hire a lawyer.
The prosecutor loudly reminded the audience to keep quiet, but the sighs in the hall continued and it took a long time for them to quiet down.
Plaintiff's lawyer: "There is no evidence that what the defendant said is true."
Lawyer Hong: "Objection, please ask the prosecution to play the video."
The rest of the video was filled with shots of Lian Cuiwei being brutally abused. The last shot was the policeman kicking Lian Cuiwei in the stomach, followed by her screams.
The hall was filled with anger...
