At that time, the management of police equipment was far from as strict as it is now. General joint defense team members were issued daggers, handcuffs and high-voltage electric shock batons with bright flashlights. At the beginning, everyone thought it was novel and hung the police equipment on their waists all day long to show off. Slowly the novelty wore off, and I felt that the handcuffs and batons were still of some use. A dagger? It's just a decoration. If something really happens, facing the suspect, do you dare to stab him with a dagger? It's no use scaring him! I'm afraid of hurting myself when I'm cutting melons and peeling fruits! Therefore, I no longer carry it with me, either locked in a drawer in the office or placed at home. Tymon Well remembered that he kept his dagger on top of the wardrobe at home because he was afraid that his daughter Euphemia Well would get it. A week later, news came from the provincial department: The DNA extracted at the scene was very similar to Tymon Well's DNA sample, with a similarity of 99.9997%. In other words, for every one million people, only three people at most have DNA similar to the evidence left at the scene. Moreover, Tymon Well's dagger and the yellow mud on his clothes are ironclad evidence. This left Tymon Well speechless. The key is also the testimony of the village party secretary Lemos Danil. He said that he broke up with Tymon Well at 11:50, which coincided with the time of the crime. Where the two finally broke up, no cigarette butts were found as Tymon Well said. Tymon Well didn't know why secretary Lemos said that. Lemos Danil was his cousin. Wei Wu had just started joining the joint defense team and it was Lemos Danil who had the relationship. Logically, he wouldn't be harmed. Therefore, Tymon Well could only think that Lemos Danil drank too much and misremembered the time. As for why the cigarette butt disappeared, Tymon Well didn't know what happened. Therefore, Tymon Well asked the public security organs to question Lemos Danil again, but the result was still the same. In this way, during the first trial, there was no suspense and Tymon Well was sentenced to death. Tymon Well is not convinced! Just file an appeal. In the second trial, just like in the first trial, the court appointed him a defense lawyer who was a retired criminal judge of the Provincial High Court. The defense lawyer read the case file and went to the detention center to see Tymon Well. Tymon Well remained the same, firmly refusing to plead guilty, and his attitude towards the lawyer was very unfriendly. However, after all, this defense lawyer has been a criminal judge for many years. He has seen all kinds of criminal suspects and has a very vicious eye. It is difficult to behave with him. But he has never seen a suspect like Tymon Well who has endured so many rounds of interrogations but has never confessed. Most people usually confess and then reverse the case. Only Tymon Well never confessed from the beginning to the end. Even one word! Moreover, the scabbard of the dagger was never found. Based on Tymon Well's performance, the defense lawyer felt that there might be another hidden story in the case. In court, the defense lawyer stated: First of all, DNA comparison cannot determine its uniqueness. The ratio of three parts per million seems very low, but according to the proportion of the province's more than 60 million people, there will be more than 180 people with similar DNA; if it were placed nationwide, it would be 3,000 people. No one can be sure whether there are just a few people with similar DNA in the local area. Especially in rural areas, where people of the same ethnicity and surname live closely together and close relatives are concentrated, this possibility cannot be ruled out! Moreover, the possibility of committing crimes on the run cannot be ruled out. Secondly, the dagger was not found. The defense lawyer believed that due to the special way of sheathing the dagger, it would be inconvenient to carry the knife if separated from the sheath. Combining the characteristics of this dagger and everyone's usage habits, the dagger is usually hung on the belt. After the dagger is withdrawn, the scabbard remains on the belt. Moreover, the scabbard is not hung on the belt with a buckle, but the belt is passed through the hole on the top of the scabbard. To remove the scabbard, you must take off the belt, which is very inconvenient. If the suspect's dagger was not hung on his belt when the crime was committed, but the entire dagger and the scabbard were held in his hand to pull out the dagger, the scabbard would have been casually thrown away by the murderer at the scene, because since the murderer did not take away the dagger, Naturally, there is no need to take away and hide the scabbard. The murderer threw the dagger at the scene, but there was no scabbard, which can only mean that the scabbard was on the murderer's belt. Since the scabbard was not found on Tymon Well body, at home, along the road, or in the ponds and fields, this indicates that there may be another murderer. The scabbard was hung on the waist by the real murderer and was taken away from the scene. Finally, the defense lawyer proposed to the court that in accordance with the spirit of the relevant notice of the Supreme People's Court, the death penalty must be imposed with great caution. One of the key pieces of evidence in this case is missing, and the suspect refuses to plead guilty, so it is not appropriate to impose the death penalty immediately. In the end, the second trial changed the sentence to suspended death, and two years later, it was commuted to life imprisonment. After several commutations, Tymon Well's current sentence is 17 years. He has served 14 years and has 3 years left. This is also because Tymon Well has always insisted on not pleading guilty, so the sentence reduction is relatively slow. Under normal circumstances, people with suspended death sentences end up serving about 15 years in prison. When Tymon Well was taken away, Euphemia Well was only 3 years old and could not remember anything. She only vaguely remembered that her fifth aunt took her with her when she was very young, and her mother went out to work. Because her grandmother hated her father, she didn't care about her at all, and she didn't let her mother take care of her. In the end, the fifth aunt next door took her in. Otherwise, she would have starved to death. It wasn't until Euphemia Well was eight years old, already in third grade, that his mother took him into his care. At this time, my mother already had an uncle at home and a younger brother who was over one year old. Euphemia Well entered a new school and no one called her a "criminal" bastard anymore, so she could study and study with peace of mind. When she was in her hometown, Euphemia Well had no playmates, either in the village or at school, and only her fifth aunt's son , Kircher, protected her. Looking at the tall man crying and remembering the pain of his childhood, Euphemia Well felt sad but couldn't cry. After a long time, I remembered a word of comfort: "Dad, you have suffered a lot. Take care of yourself, listen to your discipline, and reform well. Soon, It will come out. " She knew that her father's sentence was commuted and his sentence would be over in three years. In three years, I will be a senior. I should start my internship, and my life will be full of progress. Tymon Well shook his head vigorously: "No, I am innocent, Euphemia, you believe dad, dad is not a bad person, dad is innocent!" After hearing what his father said, Euphemia Well was a little stunned. Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu have always said that Dad was wronged, and many people in the village said so. Euphemia Well didn't pay much attention to it, but he was quite dissatisfied. If something was wrong, it was wrong. If you commit a crime, you will be punished. When I got a little older, I heard that my father had never confessed his crime and had been complaining. He did not cooperate with the reform at all, so he never got the chance to have his sentence reduced. Euphemia Well even felt that this person was not only bad, but also stubborn. Euphemia Well couldn't answer his father's words, thought for a while, and changed the topic: "Dad, I was admitted to college. I originally applied for the First Military Medical University, but I failed the political examination. I finally got admitted to Jinling Medical University, but it’s already very good.” Euphemia Well didn't want to talk about this at first, but when he saw that this man had not confessed yet, he became a little annoyed and deliberately used words to provoke him. Wei Wu raised his head when he heard this, looked at his daughter with tears in his eyes, then lowered his head again and pulled his hair with his left hand. Daughter goes to college? Oh, yes, it has been 14 years and my daughter is 17 years old. Tymon Well imagined what his daughter had suffered over the years, and he knew very well what his identity as a "criminal murderer" would bring to his daughter. "Good...good...so good..., you should be...17 this year, You are about to go to college. You suffered a lot when you were young, right? " Tymon Well words were incoherent. Seeing his father asking questions, Euphemia Well continued: "After your accident, my grandma hated you and didn't let my mother take care of me. She forced my mother to go out to work alone, and she didn't allow my grandpa and uncle to take care of me. It was my fifth uncle and fifth aunt who accepted me, and my mother would occasionally secretly send money to fifth aunt without telling my grandmother. Usually when my fifth aunt went to work in the fields, Kircher would take me to play. Later, Kircher brother went to school and there was no one to take me, so I followed him to school. Kircher was a late talker and didn't study until he was ten years old. Therefore, I entered the first grade at the age of five. Kircher is a bit silly, and everyone calls him silly, but he is very tall and strong. With his protection, no one dares to bully me, even if no one plays with me. But because I went to school early, I graduated from high school this year at the age of seventeen. Later, my mother remarried, and my stepfather, Uncle Teng, was also from the countryside and a very good man. When he learned that I was still in my hometown, he persuaded my mother to take me over and live together. When I was in elementary school, my grades were not very good except for Chinese. Later, I went to study with my mother, and I gradually got better. I found out that I had been admitted two days ago, so I called Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu to tell them. They asked me to come see you and said they would make you happy. Today happens to be your birthday on the lunar calendar, so it’s my birthday gift to you. "
