[Lawyer Gu is going all out!]
[Sentence Zhao Lele! Send Zhao Lele inside!!]
[Zhao Lele still wants to run? Now she wants to drop the charges just because the evidence is insufficient? On what basis?]
[Indeed, why should Zhao Lele be allowed to drop the charges? She’s committed extortion and still wants the house in her name, and now she’s not returning the dowry. Does she think it’s all over?]
[The thirty thousand dowry given by the other party, not to mention, both the dowry and the three gold items must be returned.]
[Zhao Lele doesn’t even look like she wants to return the dowry. On what grounds? She demands the dowry based on her abilities, and now she doesn’t want to return it?]
[Little Fairy, it’s like this, extortion starts at a minimum of three years! But why is Lawyer Gu talking about the death penalty for Zhao Lele? Extortion doesn’t constitute the death penalty.]
The netizens were a bit dumbfounded.
Now they can’t wait for Zhao Lele to be sentenced and sent in.
Mostly because many netizens couldn’t stand the things Zhao Lele said.
Thirty thousand dowry!
Is it easy for ordinary people to save thirty thousand?
Even with a monthly salary in five figures, it might take three years to save up thirty thousand!
As a result, thirty thousand was given as a dowry, and Zhao Lele still wasn’t satisfied, and wanted to falsely accuse Cai Qian of rape, to threaten him into transferring the house title to her.
Even when the house would have her name added, she wasn’t agreeable, she wanted the whole house transferred to her and wanted the property notarized.
Now, upon finding the evidence to be insufficient and that Cai Qian didn’t commit rape, Zhao Lele immediately wants to drop the charges, yet Gu Chen intends to get the dowry returned, and Zhao Lele is still unwilling to repay the dowry.
When Zhao Lele heard that she might go to jail, fear began to show in her eyes.
Was this extortion and blackmail?
Do you go to jail for extortion?
No, it shouldn’t lead to imprisonment.
She just wanted her name added to the house, that’s all; there’s no direct evidence proving her extortion and blackmail!
Also, she didn’t succeed at extortion; there’s no way she’d go to jail.
As for Gu Chen mentioning the death penalty, Zhao Lele isn’t afraid at all, fully aware it’s just talk to scare her.
No way it could lead to the death penalty!
She’s innocent!
She was just fighting for her rights!
All she wanted was the property transferred to her!
Cai Qian loves her, shouldn’t he transfer the house to her?
Why are men so stingy these days, unwilling to transfer even a house?
Zhao Lele was furious.
Gu Chen said, "Judge, Zhao Lele is still making false accusations! Knowing full well Cai Qian didn’t rape her, she chose to deliberately deceive, fabricate evidence, and find ways to falsely accuse Cai Qian of rape."
"The recording was pure enticement and guidance, the hotel corridor footage was entirely fabricated, and the DNA test report was also orchestrated by Zhao Lele, all aiming to use rape as a threat against Cai Qian."
"According to Article 243 of the Criminal Law, fabricating facts to frame and harm others with the intent to pursue criminal responsibility is subject to not more than three years of imprisonment, criminal detention, or control; causing serious consequences warrants a sentence of more than three years but less than ten years."
"I believe Zhao Lele simultaneously constitutes the crimes of evidence fabrication, extortion, and false accusation, and should be punished for both crimes! Moreover, the property she attempted to extort amounts to thirty million! Although she didn’t succeed in the extortion, her criminal attitude is extremely vile!"
Gu Chen brought up another charge!
False accusation!!
Upon hearing Gu Chen’s words, Zhao Lele was somewhat dismissive.
False accusation?
She didn’t care that much.
The live broadcast room was filled with netizens commenting.
[Lawyer Gu speaks well!]
[It’s exactly false accusation! It’s extortion, she must be sentenced!]
[Zhao Lele isn’t returning the thirty thousand dowry, shouldn’t she be sentenced?]
[Sentence, sentence, sentence!!]
Netizens kept posting barrage comments.
Zhao Lele said, "Judge, I request to make a statement."
Now that her defense lawyer Zhao Yu has run away, she can only defend herself.
Judge Zhao Zhichao agreed.
Zhao Lele said, "Judge, it’s like this, I don’t believe I’m guilty of false accusations and extortion, the charges imposed by the opposing lawyer are too severe."
"I want the house simply because I want a guarantee before marriage, the thirty thousand dowry is the same, I’m already engaged to Cai Qian, which means Cai Qian and I genuinely intend to continue our relationship, the conflict between us purely arose over the issue of the house, it’s by no means extortion."
"And indeed, at first, Cai Qian violated my will in the hotel, and actually, I reluctantly agreed midway, and after everything was done, Cai Qian’s attitude towards me was very harsh, which made me angry, I reported to the police on impulse to make him realize his mistake, it’s all because of Cai Qian’s poor attitude towards me, I did it out of anger, it’s not malicious extortion, nor is it a false accusation."
"Cai Qian was always unkind, had a bad attitude towards me, I felt that after getting me, he completely changed, I only wanted to teach him a lesson, now I know I was wrong, I can return the dowry, I admit my mistakes, but I don’t have the money on hand now... I need some time to repay Cai Qian, treat the thirty thousand as a loan, and I’ll be able to return it in a while."
"My relationship with Cai Qian is already over, but you can’t say it’s false accusation, and say I’m extorting! We just had a disagreement, an argument over feelings! Give me some time and I’ll return the dowry, let’s leave it at that."
Zhao Lele was quite scared inside.
She felt like every word from Gu Chen intended to send her to jail.
Moreover, Gu Chen’s past record was honestly intimidating.
If she really ended up inside...
Suddenly Zhao Lele admitted cowardice in court.
Then Zhao Lele started to cry.
As for returning the dowry, it was just a temporary expedient on Zhao Lele’s part.
As long as she didn’t go to jail today, anything would be fine.
As for really returning the thirty thousand dowry to Cai Qian?
That’s not possible, right?
Currently, Zhao Lele hardly has any cash, only a few hundred bucks.
All the cash was squandered by Zhao Lele.
Regarding treating the thirty thousand dowry as a loan, it’s alright, she’ll just not repay it, living like a deadbeat, what could Cai Qian do to her?
Once the court session was over, Zhao Lele decided to block Cai Qian, then she wouldn’t panic at all.
Zhao Lele was also making efforts; she understood a bit of law, she wasn’t completely clueless legally.
Mainly because Zhao Lele felt guilty...
She knew what she had done.
This wasn’t her first time getting married and licensed, nor her first time deceiving dowries and homes....
She just wanted to admit a mistake and have it end this way, not letting Gu Chen pursue further.
Otherwise, if pursued further, what if she really goes to jail?
Now she hoped Cai Qian and Gu Chen would let her go.
Being all men, surely they wouldn’t be that petty?
She had already admitted her mistakes, and agreed to return the dowry, only that the dowry would be returned in the future...
Gu Chen said, "No, firstly, the thirty thousand dowry must be returned, no accepting dowry as a loan, it must be repaid in cash!"
"Secondly, Zhao Lele is guilty!"
"Judge, Zhao Lele’s crimes aren’t limited to false accusation!!"
