我代表人民检察院对被告陈瑶提起公诉，控告她于2008年8月12日杀害丈夫王冠伟。警方的侦讯和调查表明，除了死者和陈瑶，没有第三人在当日进入过寓所。而且死者生前和陈瑶的关系名存实亡，准备离婚，因此被告完全具备作案动机。

On behalf of the People's Procuratorate, I am initiating legal proceedings against the defendant, Chen Yao. I accuse her of murdering her husband, Wang Junwei, on August 12, 2008. The police investigation shows that other than the deceased and Chen Yao, no one else entered the dwelling that day. Furthermore, the relationship between the deceased and Chen Yao existed only in name, and they were getting ready to divorce. Because of this, the defendant had a solid motive for the crime.
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.
现在是控辩双方的问证时间。本庭传唤负责本案的李加良警官出庭作证。
xiànzài shì kòngbiànshuāngfāng de wènzhèng shíjiān 。běntíng chuánhuàn fùzé běn àn de Lǐ Jiāliáng jǐngguān chūtíng zuòzhèng 。
Now it's time for the cross-examination. The court calls Officer Li Jialiang, the officer in charge on this case, to testify.
李警官，请你叙述一下2008年8月12日晚，你们接到报警电话后到死者家中的情况。
Lǐ jǐngguān ，qǐng nǐ xùshù yīxià èrlínglíngbā nián bā yuèshíèr rì wǎn ，nǐmen jiēdào bàojǐng diànhuà hòu dào sǐzhějiā zhōng de qíngkuàng 。
Officer Li, please describe the situation on the evening of August 12, 2008, when you went to the home of the deceased after getting a call.
