On this Spring Festival of family reunion, Chen Liren's parents finally saw their son who appeared in court through the screen, and a good family was ruined in an instant, and their hearts were broken!
After Chen Liren killed his wife, his parents rushed to the United States as soon as possible and stayed for more than a week, but they did not see their son, so they had to return to China because they could not take leave for a long time.
The son and daughter-in-law were once their pride, and they were called "other people's children" by acquaintances, graduated from Tsinghua University, master's degree from the University of California, San Diego, and worked in a large factory in Silicon Valley.
They never imagined that their son would kill their daughter-in-law and cause a catastrophe, and they felt like they had gone from heaven to hell all at once.
This is the sixth time Chen Liren has been arraigned, and he has finally appeared at the trial for the first time. Although he hid behind the lawyer and stood in the blind spot of the surveillance during the trial to deliberately avoid the camera, the footage of him attending the trial that day was still filmed.
In the camera, Chen Liren is wearing an orange T-shirt, a yellow prison coat, a pair of red pants, white armor, and chains on his hands and waist, which is very eye-catching.
In this trial, Chen Liren only appeared for more than 1 minute, and mainly followed the procedure: Chen Liren was assigned a simultaneous interpreter, and the next trial date was determined to be April 19.
Everyone paid attention to Chen Liren's outfit and facial expressions. Some netizens explained that wearing red pants because he was accused of murder, in prison, the most high-ranking criminal wears red pants, and yellow clothes are the special representative color for the mentally ill, and wearing a helmet is to prevent him from self-harm.
This time, Chen Liren changed his habits and did not wear glasses, his eyes were a little special, which caused heated discussions among netizens.
Some say it was because his eyes were short-sighted and he couldn't see clearly after taking off his glasses, others said his eyes were dull and empty, and others said that his eyes were cold and unrepentant.
At the trial that day, Chen Liren did not plead guilty. Some people in the industry believe that this is a strategy of the lawyer, leaving more room for the lawyer's defense, and lawyer Schroder will defend Chen Liren's innocence.
A mentally ill person who is ill can be acquitted of murder. Lawyer Schroeder may defend Chen Liren from the direction that he suffers from mental illness.
Earlier, it was rumored that Chen Liren's mother and grandmother were both mentally ill, and if the situation was true, Chen Liren's parents would pass the relevant medical records to the lawyer as evidence after returning to China.
Some time ago, there was an article in Sanlian Life Weekly, talking about Chen Liren's plan to see a psychiatrist on January 16, and contacted several colleagues to accompany him, but he didn't expect that he had an accident that day.
The next morning, my colleague ran to Chen Liren's house to check, and saw Chen Liren's body stained with blood stains through the window, his hands were raised in the air, and his eyes were empty and blank.
All kinds of signs seem to point to Chen Liren's mental illness. Of course, whether Chen Liren has mental illness or not also needs to be evaluated by experts and juries, and in California, the evaluation requirements for mental illness are very strict.
At present, Mr. Chen's lawyer, Mr. Schroeder, said that the case was a bit tricky, and that he needed to read a lot of files and materials to determine the way to defend himself.
Schroder is a well-known local lawyer in California, with more than 50 years of criminal defense career and rich experience, Chen Liren's father was introduced to him.
If it is finally determined that Chen Liren suffers from mental illness, he will not be prosecuted and transferred to a psychiatric hospital for treatment, and the doctor will assess that he can be discharged from the hospital before he can be released. Chen Liren is a Chinese national, and Google has removed him from the list and will be deported back to China after his release.
The prosecutor who charged Mr. Chen said that if Mr. Chen pleaded not guilty on April 19, the lawsuit would have been protracted. According to the U.S. litigation process, it is possible in two or three years.
This will be a painful ordeal for Xuanyi's parents. At present, Yu Xuanyi's parents have arrived in the United States, and they are still in the grief of losing their daughter and did not attend the trial that day.
Impulsiveness is the devil, this Spring Festival, both parents are very sad, Xuan Yi's parents lost their only daughter and were very sad, and Chen Liren's parents were also uncomfortable when they saw their son in prison.
