Chapter 1145 Judge Your Honor_1
The judge massaged his temples with a headache.
A dog... and a victim’s family...
Is this really not a joke?
"Your Honor, my client is willing to plead guilty," the defense lawyer emphasized again, "Considering the judicial economy, I think we can move directly to sentencing now."
"I refuse," Purple Summers didn’t hesitate, "We wish to proceed with a court hearing."
The judge asked irritably, "If the defendant has already pled guilty, is there really a need to hear the case?"
Purple Summers replied, "Your Honor, the defense wants to move directly to sentencing because the defense lawyer believes you would not sentence the defendant to jail time. Of course, even if you do, I would fully understand. However, I believe that once you fully understand the facts of the case, you might make a different decision."
The judge, massaging his forehead with a pained expression, frowned and said, "I am already aware of the facts. The fact is, the defendant killed a dog and has pled guilty. Do we really need to waste time on this?"
The lawyer said coolly from the side, "The prosecutor’s aim in wanting a court hearing is merely to gain the jury’s sympathy and to put pressure on the judge with public opinion in order to receive a more favorable sentencing."
