Chapter 511 - 262: Bro, Why Were You Sentenced to Death? I Don’t Know, I Just Stole a Battery_2
Although he was mumbling, he was speaking directly into the court’s microphone.
Everyone on site heard it clearly.
Whoa!
It was as if someone was furiously pounding Lawyer Wang’s head with a steel hammer.
Lawyer Wang’s face turned pale instantly, and he jumped to his feet, glaring at Fei San.
His eyes were full of shock!
The judge also shuddered after hearing this, feeling quite shaken inside.
Heaven bears witness!
He just thought the defendant was a bit clever, so he asked a few more questions.
Who could have thought he was this clever!
Unlike previous PC, theft, or even gambling, robbery is a serious felony!
Starting with a few years is a minor issue; the main thing is that it can’t be reduced to probation. Commit this crime, and you must go to prison!
No lawyer can save you!
The judge, feeling increasingly intrigued, kept his expression unchanged:
"Oh? You also committed robbery, did you?"
"Tell us, how much did you rob? How did you handle the stolen money?"
To prevent raising suspicion in Fei San, the judge’s tone remained light, as if he was discussing a routine matter.
Indeed!
Unaware of the trap in the judge’s words, Fei San answered carelessly:
"Well, not much, totaling only seventy or eighty thousand bucks."
Crack!
This sound came from Lawyer Wang suddenly collapsing into his chair, causing it to creak.
He had just slightly huddled, trying to calm his emotions, but upon hearing this, his mindset completely shattered.
Damn you!
Robbing seventy or eighty thousand isn’t much?!
Must be brainwashed by those in the Xiaohuangshu group!
Moreover, while others rob, dowry is protected by law, but what about you?
Protected by the criminal law, right!
According to the laws of Dragon Country, robbery is a felony!
Robbing over fifty thousand makes the charge even more severe!
Going in now, you’ll be in there comfortably for ten years, just about when you can get out with Fan Fan.
And that’s even if he committed robbery empty-handed, if he used a weapon...
Damn you!
Feeling the shift in the atmosphere, Fei San slightly retreated and asked in a low voice, "Lawyer Wang, did I say something wrong?"
No!
You said nothing wrong!
It’s my mistake!
Lawyer Wang clutched the water cup tightly, bulging blue veins visible, his hand even shaking slightly under the table.
What can he say now?
Don’t you see the judge is staring at him intently?
He’s sure if he speaks another word, he can send himself in.
"No...no problem."
After saying this, Lawyer Wang, seemingly resigned to fate, slumped back in his chair and waved off further conversation.
Viewers in the livestream naturally saw this scene.
"Laughing to death here, whose big genius managed to escape? Someone should check which hospital bed is vacant."
"Feeling a wave of sympathy for the defendant’s lawyer, having to handle such a client, not only having to control their helplessness but also trying to exonerate the client, they must be out of ideas."
"Judge: Defendant’s lawyer, do you have anything else to say?
Defendant’s lawyer: I won’t say anything until my lawyer gets here."
"Defendant’s lawyer: Anxious! At the time of taking the case, it was agreed to be a theft case, how did it gradually become a robbery case?"
"Any experts out there, will the defendant’s lawyer be sentenced if they tell the defendant not to speak?"
"Hey, a real expert wouldn’t stop the defendant from speaking, they’d just apply to the judge: Dear Judge, I just remembered I left in a hurry, forgot to feed Charlie, I’ll take my leave first."
"Hahaha."
The entire livestream chat roared with laughter.
The judge seized the moment, continuing to question:
"So you robbed seventy or eighty thousand?"
"What did you do with the money?"
Seeing Fei San looking to him for help, Lawyer Wang quickly raised his glass, elegantly sipping.
In such circumstances, forget about giving Fei San advice, even a glance might land him in trouble.
Sit like a bell, stand like a pine!
Eyes to the nose, nose to the heart!
Lawyer Wang’s posture was impeccable, even in a monastic setting, it would be top-notch.
Watching Lawyer Wang feign ignorance, Fei San got anxious, desperately signaling to him.
No matter how he rolled his eyes or gestured, his lawyer wouldn’t look at him, sitting steadfastly, eyes straight ahead.
For a moment, Fei San was bewildered.
Didn’t the lawyer say he could handle everything?
What’s the silence now?
"Again, defendant, where did you spend the money you robbed?"
Not giving Fei San much time to ponder, the judge pressed on.
All eyes turned to Fei San, making him sweat profusely under the scrutiny.
With his lawyer keeping silent, he could only follow Lawyer Wang’s initial advice and tell the truth:
"I used the stolen money to stock up."
Hmm?!
Lawyer Wang’s previously deflated heart leaped.
Stocking up is good!
Stocking shows ambition!
Shows he has people he cares about!
The robbery might have been a desperate act!
With this logic, even if he can’t overturn Fei San’s case, he could earn some jury sympathy, leading to a lighter sentence!
With this thought, strategies flooded Lawyer Wang’s mind, just awaiting Fei San’s plea!
Everything seemed to be taking a positive turn, but the judge’s next question shattered Wang’s plans.
"Oh? What did you stock up on? Where’s your store, how’s business?"
Previously unperturbed by the judge’s queries, this hit home for Fei San.
He immediately raised his head, replying with pride:
"Just small-time sales, no need for a store, why waste that money?"
"We sell to acquaintances, business is booming!"
Sell to acquaintances?
Business booming?
The judge suddenly found it odd, asking sternly, "What exactly were you selling to acquaintances? Speak in detail!"
Seeing the judge turn serious, Fei San lowered himself instinctively.
He could only stiffen his neck, stammering, "Nothing much, just morphine, opium, and heroin..."
Whoa!
The moment he spoke, before Lawyer Wang could react, the room erupted.
Everyone’s eyes were on him; it was as if their minds were blown!
They were all dumbfounded!
Viewers in the livestream chat reacted with the same astonishment.
"Walt? I thought he had some unspeakable hardships leading to robbery, turns out robbing doesn’t pay as fast as selling drugs!"
"I now understand this guy’s mindset: dare to sell this stuff in Dragon Country, only someone as ’smart’ as him could."
"Drugs, gambling, and theft, including robbery... this guy’s decked out with all vices! Used too much, must have scrambled his brain."
"Initially a simple theft case, maybe detention plus a fine, a few days in custody, pay a fine, now it’s straight to peanuts."
"Is this guy seeking death or what? Doesn’t he know the severity of selling this in our country?"
"In Dragon Country, trafficking guns might give you a chance at life, but selling this stuff, there’re two choices, injection or peanuts."
"I checked, according to our laws, not talking other drugs, just heroin, selling over ten grams requires a seven-year sentence, fifty grams, fifteen years or more, hearing how he was stocking up, this amount, phew!"
"Whoa! Not even a peanut might suffice! Inside death row, fellow inmates would be stunned. Asked why you’re inside, he says just stole a battery from an e-bike..."
"Cause: stole an e-bike battery, Effect: sentenced to death! Any problem? No problem!"
