审判长,我首先向被害人表示沉痛的哀悼。但是作为被告陈瑶的辩护律师,我不能同意公诉机关对陈瑶故意杀人的犯罪指控。我会举证陈瑶不仅不具备作案时间、而且也没有杀人动机。而且警方在整个调查过程中并没有深入调查其他嫌疑人便草率结案,对我的代理人极为不公。

Your honor, first, let me express my sincere sorrow for the victim. But as Chen Yao's defense attorney, I do not agree with the prosecution's criminal charges against Chen Yao. I will prove that Chen Yao not only did not have the time to commit the crime, but also that she did not have a motive for murder. Additionally, during the course of the investigation, the police did not thoroughly investigate other suspects. They wrapped up the case in a sloppy way, which was extremely unfair to my client.
