Chen Liren really does not admit that he committed murder.
But the fact is before us, it was him who punched his wife Yu Xuanyi on the head with each punch until the other party died.
After missing five court hearings due to physical reasons, Chen Liren, a Google engineer who graduated from Tsinghua University, made a rare appearance. However, he appeared in a strange state - wearing a huge and weird white helmet.
According to insiders, local law in the United States stipulates that suspects who have committed suicide or self-mutilation behaviors such as hitting walls in prison will be put on this white helmet to prevent the suspect from committing suicide again.
For such people, the prison will also put them in solitary confinement. Every 15 minutes, a prison guard will go to the cell of a suspected mentally ill prisoner to observe.
The yellow top worn by Chen Liren when he appeared in court also indicated that he was suspected of being a mental patient according to local law.
When he appeared in court, Chen Liren hid behind the lawyer the whole time. At 1.9 meters tall, he was more than half a head taller than the lawyer standing in front of him. He didn't talk much, and he didn't sit in the prisoners' box.
During the trial, only when the judge asked him whether he pleaded guilty, he firmly answered that he did not plead guilty.
At the same time, he agreed that the court would help him find an Asian translator, who would later assist him in attending the next series of court hearings.
The next court hearing is scheduled for mid-to-late April.
During this court hearing, the victim Yu Xuanyi's parents who came from Northeast China did not show up. Chen Liren's father, who was said to be an official in China, has also returned to China. Everything is left to the lawyer to take full responsibility for Chen Liren's case. case.
The case of Chen Liren, a Chinese Google engineer who murdered his wife, has attracted widespread attention in Chinese circles at home and abroad precisely because Chen Liren and his beloved wife Yu Xuanyi are both "other people's children" in the eyes of everyone.
Chen Liren, who has a handsome appearance and a good family background, has achieved excellent results since childhood and has been reported by various media many times. Yu Xuanyi is the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Songyuan City, Jilin Province, and is a cold goddess in the eyes of everyone.
The two of them completed their master's degrees in the United States and successfully entered Google. Each of them received an annual salary of approximately US$250,000 and purchased a villa worth more than ten million US dollars in the United States.
The couple are only 27 years old, and they have already worked hard to reach the middle class in the United States. They are the envy of countless people.
Chen Liren and Yu Xuanyi’s colleagues at Google still cannot understand Chen Liren’s behavior of domestic violence against his wife to death.
In the eyes of his colleagues, Chen Liren is a helpful and loyal man who has never yelled at his wife. The couple looks like a model loving couple to outsiders.
If such a person who usually looks warm and smiling could commit the evil act of killing his wife, it would be a shock to the friends around the couple.
Therefore, a colleague of Chen Liren who participated in the trial said that he hoped to have an opportunity in the future to hear what Chen Liren said himself, rather than what the lawyer taught him to say. They really wanted to know what happened between Chen Liren and his wife at that moment.
Some netizens still firmly believe that it was Yu Xuanyi who did something to offend her husband Chen Liren. Otherwise, how could a person with a normal and gentle personality suddenly lose his humanity and do such a cruel thing.
Is this really a crime of passion? Or is Chen Liren really having a mental illness at this time?
When some media interviewed the well-known American lawyer hired by Chen Liren, they heard the other party’s analysis and did not rule out that they would fight this lawsuit in the direction of a not guilty plea.
As for the rumors that Chen Liren’s family has a history of mental illness, the lawyer did not give a direct answer.
The judge also said in an interview with the media that he had interviewed the parents of the victim Yu Xuanyi, who had come all the way from Northeast China to the United States. The two old men were very sad.
Currently, Xuanyi’s colleagues at Google are taking turns taking care of the two elderly people.
For Chen Liren and Yu Xuanyi's colleagues, their moods at this time were also very contradictory. They did not want to take sides, but just wanted to help those who needed their help as much as possible.
In the future, they also hope that the court can give a fair ruling.
