At around 2:15 p.m. on February 9, U.S. time,
Chen Liren, a suspect in the Google wife murder case in the United States, appeared in court for the first time.
This trial,
It attracted many local Chinese people to come and observe.
Chen Liren looked depressed and his eyes glazed.
He wears a loose yellow jacket with an orange shirt underneath and a pair of red pants.
Wearing a white helmet, it looks particularly weird.
Chen Liren did not sit in the dock in the courtroom and stood behind the lawyer.
Why did Chen Liren wear such a helmet?
Some people analyzed that it may have been to prevent self-harm, or maybe he had hit a wall or something like that in prison.
This is also the result of the doctor's psychological evaluation, because Chen Liren killed his wife in a passionate manner, and judged that he was mentally unstable.
Today is also Chen Liren's sixth arraignment, and he did not appear in court for physical reasons.
Chen Liren's defense lawyer, Wesley Schroeder, and the interpreter are also present today.
It is said that he did not intend to use an interpreter at first, but later, at the suggestion of the judge, he switched to one, and the judge put on him a simultaneous interpretation headset.
The Santa Clara County deputy prosecutor in charge of the case said:
I met with Yu Xuanyi's parents earlier, because Chen Liren did not appear in court, and now Chen Liren's parents have returned to China for the Spring Festival.
Yu Xuanyi's parents came to the United States from their hometown in Jilin Province and passed by Chen Liren's parents, and it is estimated that they will not reconcile.
But Yu Xuanyi's parents are too sad and may not appear in court.
However, this court appearance was very short, and he only appeared for a few minutes.
Chen Liren pleaded not guilty, and the next court session will be held at 1:30 p.m. on April 19.
Some self-media interviewed the prosecutor after the court to see if Chen Liren could be released on bail.
The judge said yes, but the court would refuse, and if he was released on bail, he would notify the police because Chen Liren was a dangerous person and he was a danger to the community.
Many people are puzzled by Chen Liren's helmet
In fact, this helmet has other functions besides preventing self-harm.
This helmet is called EEG, which translates to EEG monitoring device.
It can monitor a person's brain electrical activity, assess their cognitive state, emotional state or authenticity, and it is real-time high-quality monitoring.
Chen Liren's wearing such a helmet may involve mental problems.
Early,
His lawyer plans to defend his innocence on the grounds of mental illness, and Chen Liren's mother and grandmother both have a history of mental illness.
Many people are paying attention to Chen Liren's case, and the prosecutor has also answered a few questions.
First question:
Has there been a murder in Silicon Valley in the past three years?
Do you have confidence and experience in Chen Liren's case?
The prosecutor replied:
There was a murder case in 2019, and in 2023, Santa Clara County, where Chen Liren is located, also had a case of domestic violence resulting in death. He has been involved in both cases, so he has experience and confidence.
Prosecutors also said Santa Clara County is still safe.
Second question:
Have you contacted Google, the U.S. company where Chen Liren works, to help with Chen's investigation?
According to the prosecutor:
I have applied, but Google rarely cooperates, and generally learns about the situation from other sources.
The third question:
What is the level of murder in Chen Liren's case?
According to the prosecutor:
Now there is no degree of homicide, only whether it is a homicide or not.
It can only be said that it is a pity that two excellent people, the life that should be happy has been ruined like this.
This is the end that no one wants to see.
Yu Xuanyi in the eyes of his classmates
She is a little fairy, fair-skinned and beautiful, she is not only excellent in her studies, neat handwriting, but also very clean, always wearing a white dress, like a white swan.
Yu Xuanyi is not only a scholar, but also has a high appearance, and he has both of them, which can be described as a top match.
Yu Xuanyi's photos during college look a bit like Lin Daiyu, with a hint of melancholy.
Before the case, the relationship between the two people was also very good through social accounts
I don't know why it developed to this ending all of a sudden
1 month from the incident,
12/12/23
Yu Xuanyi updated his account,
The accompanying text is "warm family moments",
Copywriting a photo of a kitten, although the person next to him only showed half of his face, it was certain that it was Chen Liren, which also showed that the relationship between the two was still very good at that time.
2 weeks before the incident,
12/31/23
Yu Xuanyi updated his account again,
Caption: "I am waiting for the moment when I will taste human food". This time it's two people with a kitten.
You can see steaks, cakes, and red wine on the table.
Chen Liren is wearing a wedding ring on his hand, which proves that there are no problems in the marriage of the two.
has developed to this point, in addition to Chen Liren's side, the views that came out are not normal, there may also be some problems with Yu Xuanyi, and Yu Xuanyi may have angered him.
According to the memories of Yu Xuanyi's parents' neighbor and colleague:
When Yu Xuan was an hour, she forgot to bring her homework once, and the teacher didn't accuse her, so she cried herself, which depends on Xuanyi's pursuit of perfection and strong personality and refusal to admit defeat.
This may be similar to Chen Liren's personality, so the two of them fought hard and caused a tragedy.
It has happened and there is no going back.
Netizens sighed at the same time
I've been paying attention to some details of the two of them, looking for unlucky factors.
Some netizens said:
The cat didn't look good, it wasn't warm at all, and the skinny spine had a gloomy face.
Some netizens said:
The names of the two people are not good, Yu Xuanyi and Chen Liren, the names are not good, the height is not cold, and there is only one person left together.
And their American house, the house is old, and the house number 714 is unlucky.
Some netizens also said:
Chen Liren is a southerner, Yu Xuanyi is a northerner, the gap between the lives of the north and the south is too big, the commonality is relatively small, and even the basic meals will have contradictions, maybe this is the root cause.
