Zhang Lu's father was Zhang Jianguo, her mother was Wang Guifang, and her younger brother was Zhang Mu.
When they heard that Liu Yu was the judge of the second trial, their eyes lit up with hope!
"Hurry, hurry, hurry." Wang Guifang looked helpless.
The three of them welcomed Liu Yu into the house.
Liu Yu sat down on the sofa and said with a smile,"I came here this time because I have something to ask.”
"Do you still intend to continue the appeal?”
"Didn't Wang Mingfa appeal?" Zhang Jianguo asked. Do we still need to appeal?"
Liu Yu smiled." His appeal is definitely different from your appeal. His appeal means that he feels that the court's sentence is too heavy. If you don't appeal, according to the principle of no additional punishment on appeal, he can only uphold the original sentence. However, if you appeal as well, the outcome is uncertain.”
"You mean if we appeal, that guy will be sentenced to death?" Zhang Mu suddenly said.”
The young man could no longer hold his breath. This was what he had dreamed of.
Liu Yu shook his head. As a judge, he wouldn't give anyone a promise before the trial.
"No, I'm just saying that there might be a different outcome. That depends on the evidence in the case. I'm a judge.”
Zhang Mu seemed a little excited and said loudly,"Evidence? What evidence did he need? That Wang Mingfa killed my sister, and he admitted it himself! Why didn't you sentence him to death?"
Liu Yu smiled." Because he got two letters of understanding from his family. If he gets yours, he might get a lighter sentence!"”
Only now did the Zhang family understand what the agreement of understanding Zhao Bian had just taken represented.
Liu Yu did not intend to explain too much to them. Or rather, explaining was not his purpose or responsibility. Moreover, he was not the one who sentenced them in the first trial.
Liu Yu stood up and said," I'm just here to remind you that it's up to you whether you want to appeal or not. Alright, I'm leaving."”
Liu Yu walked out of the door. Suddenly, he stopped and turned around with a smile."By the way, let me remind you that 10 million is really a lot. The court will definitely not be able to award this amount of compensation.”
"You…" Zhang Mu wanted to say something, but Liu Yu didn't want to listen. He pushed the door open and walked out.
Liu Yu's smile disappeared after he left.
Everyone had their own choices. What he had to do was to make a fair judgment based on the evidence available during the trial.
After Liu Yu left, the Zhang family fell silent.
"appeal! I want to appeal!" Zhang Mu said.
Zhang Jianguo took out a cigarette and lit it. He sat on the sofa and sighed."Your sister is already dead."
"I want to appeal!"
" Your sister is already dead," Zhang Jianguo said." If you take ten million, our family's life will be much better. That person has already been sentenced to death with a reprieve. Your life will be much better in the future."”
Obviously, he was more inclined to take the money.
It was not that he did not love his daughter, but he still had a son. In his opinion, a living son might be more important.
In fact, before the first trial, the other party had sent five million yuan. They wanted to sign an agreement of forgiveness, but the family of three rejected it. At that time, they felt that as long as Wang Mingfa died, everything would be worth it.
But now, the verdict of the first trial was out. The death penalty was suspended.
What about the second trial? Would Wang Mingfa be sentenced to death?
If it wasn't the death penalty, how much compensation could he get?
At that time, wouldn't he end up empty-handed?
Just like what Zhao Bian had said, his son would have many ways to use money in the future.
After hearing his father's words, Zhang Mu grabbed the knife on the table and shouted,""I don't care. I want to appeal. I said that I will earn my own money in the future. I will definitely not sign that understanding agreement! I can't let my sister die in vain!"
As he spoke, he placed the knife on his wrist and said,"If you don't appeal! I'll commit suicide!"
He knew that he did not have many methods to threaten his parents!
Zhang Jianguo suddenly stood up and said angrily,"What the hell do you want?" 10 million yuan. Why don't you need money when you get married and buy a house in the future? If you earn it yourself, can you earn it? Your sister is already dead!"
Zhang Mu steeled his heart and cut his own wrist!
Blood immediately flowed out!
"appeal! We'll appeal!" Wang Guifang, who had not spoken all this time, rushed forward like a madman!
In fact, she also agreed with her husband's words, but in the face of her only son threatening to harm himself, she could no longer take it.
Zhang Jianguo also rushed forward, and the family of three hugged each other and cried.
Losing a loved one was a pain that every family could not bear.
Especially when they had to choose between their conscience and real interests, Zhang Jianguo and Wang Guifang didn't feel good.
The next morning, when Liu Yu arrived at the office, he found out that the Zhang family had already appealed.
He took out his phone and found the number of the chief inspector in charge of the case. He called back and planned to ask for additional investigation.
In this world, the court had the authority to propose additional investigations.
In fact, in the early days of our country, the court also had this authority, but later on, in order to ensure the neutrality of the court's judgment, it was cancelled. At present, it could only be raised by the prosecutor's office.
However, in the parallel world, the authority of the judge had been strengthened.
