At nine-thirty, the trial officially began.
The gallery was packed, with people from all walks of life and reporters present, including Ji Zichuan and the still sobbing Bai Qiuling.
After a brief opening by the court, the defendant Chen Ziming was brought in.
The prosecutor stood up and read the accusation against Chen Ziming, "…I ask the court to deal with the murderer according to the law and give justice to the victim."
The judge nodded slightly, and then the prosecutor called for the witnesses to begin questioning.
The witnesses included the security guard and security manager of the residential area where Chen Ziming lived, as well as the medical staff who attended to Ji Jing. Their testimonies could prove that Ji Jing arrived at the Chen Family's home first to smash things, then an accident happened, she had a miscarriage, underwent head surgery, and has remained in a coma since then.
