Capítulo 474: To Turn the Tables (2)

"Could it be that Gu Yu wants to..." The moment this thought surfaced in Lawyer Qian's mind, Gu Yu confirmed his nagging suspicions in a calm but powerful voice, "Since there is room for doubt and we're currently unable to verify it, then the benefit of the doubt goes to the defendant. Thus, my client is not guilty."

"I knew it!" Lawyer Qian groaned in his heart and could not help but shut his eyes.

He had played his trump card of sympathy by using his words to move everyone, including the judge, and the general opinion was obviously in favour of Yun Rou. He never expected Gu Yu to counter his attacks in such a cunning way.

When a defendant was given the benefit of the doubt, he or she is considered innocent and acquitted by the jury if his or her guilt has not been proven beyond reasonable doubt.
