The Judgment Chief arrived with the Judge, and all stood up.
This gesture of standing up to greet the judicial officers is written in the "Court Rules," representing the dignity of the law and the solemnity of the courtroom.
The procedure began as usual, with the prosecution making the accusation, reading the indictment.
Next was the defendant's statement. Li Huaiqing stuttered, "Regarding the accused facts, I have no objection, but I dispute the charge. I was driving normally at the time, without any acceleration or deceleration."
"The victim jumped out of the car on his own; it was an accident..."
Then came the statement of the victim, except that the victim Fang Pinghui was unable to appear in court.
In Fang Pinghui's statement, he said he had forgotten everything and only learned about the accident after waking up.
After these procedures, the prosecution began questioning the defendant, and Li Huaiqing became even more nervous.
