"I think these general principles of criminal law are unreasonable. So, for prison terms over ten years, the maximum sentence is only fifteen years?"
"And for sentences not exceeding thirty-five years, the maximum is twenty years? But wouldn't an ordinary person's cumulative sentence rarely exceed thirty-five years anyway?"
"That's not always the case. The middle-aged couple Old Zhang's son dealt with almost exceeded that. What a pity."
"..."
The onlookers looked regretful, unanimously feeling that a twenty-year prison sentence was far too lenient.
Meanwhile, at the defendant's bench.
Liu Qiao was so furious his face turned ashen.
Zhang Qingyuan and the others made no attempt to be discreet during their discussion, speaking quite loudly. He heard every word.
By now, he was gradually understanding why these old men were attending the trial.
They... were all here to see him sentenced!
Where exactly did I offend these old men?
