On June 3, 2019, Zhang Yingying's murder case was finally tried in the United States, and Zhang Yingying's parents and classmates hoped that they could make ** die for their lives.
Because in the perception of the Chinese, killing people pays for life, which is justified.
But when the judge finally dropped the gavel, Brent Christensen, who killed Zhang Yingying and 12 other innocent girls, was sentenced to life in prison, which was unacceptable to many Chinese.
What makes Zhang Yingying's family even more unacceptable is that Zhang Yingying's body has never been found.
The excellent Zhang Yingying was finally killed by a ** when she was about to realize her dream, which is extremely embarrassing, let's take a look at the ins and outs of this case.
In April 2017, Yingying Zhang was given the opportunity to be a visiting scholar at the University of Illinois, where she will participate in research and complete her Ph.D. at the University of Illinois.
Zhang Yingying's family economic conditions are not very good, and even the cost of her school in the United States was covered by a loan of 50,000 yuan from the bank from her old father.
The sensible Zhang Yingying took her parents' hard-earned money, and she didn't dare to be careless at all, she always hoped to be able to reduce her expenses to the minimum standard.
On June 9, 2017, Zhang Yingying made an appointment with the landlord to see the house, because she didn't have much money in hand, so Zhang Yingying had to choose a house far away from the University of Illinois, so as to save a lot of rent expenses.
Zhang Yingying was busy with the work in hand, immediately rushed to the bus station, but fate played a life-threatening joke on Zhang Yingying, Zhang Yingying was about to rush to the bus station, found that a bus she was going to take was slowly driving out of the station, Zhang Yingying chased after the back of the bus desperately beckoning and shouting, hoping that the bus could pick herself up and leave, but the bus did not respond to her shouts and disappeared from her sight.
Zhang Yingying saw that the bus had just left the bus stop, which meant that she would have to wait for the next bus for a long time, Zhang Yingying looked at the watch in her hand and walked around the bus stop anxiously, because it meant that she might not be able to arrive at the scheduled place on time and not be able to make the appointment on time.
Zhang Yingying hurriedly called the landlord and said to the landlord that I may not be able to arrive at the agreed time, I hope the landlord can wait for her, and repeatedly said sorry.
Just when Zhang Yingying was anxiously waiting for the next bus, a black car slowly drove into the bus stop, and stopped in front of Zhang Yingying, the black car driver rolled down the window, Zhang Yingying leaned over and chatted with the black car driver for a while.
After that, Zhang Yingying opened the car door and got into the black car, and after Zhang Yingying got on the black car, she immediately left.
Zhang Yingying's classmates knew that she went to see the house, but in the dead of night, Zhang Yingying still did not come back, and the classmates immediately dialed Zhang Yingying's mobile phone, but no one answered.
After that, Zhang Yingying evaporated from the world and was no longer traced.
The classmates immediately called the police and informed Zhang Yingying's family.
Zhang Yingying's parents immediately flew to the United States to look for the missing Zhang Yingying.
* After receiving the alarm, they immediately began to look for Zhang Yingying, and they found the driver of the black car through the surveillance video of the bus stop, his name is Brent Christensen.
But this Lao Bu denied all the inquiries at first, and he told the police that he didn't go out at all that day and was at home all the time.
* Turned out the surveillance video of the bus stop, Lao Bu admitted that he did pick up a girl at the bus stop that day, but he was face blind to the Asian girl at all, and the Asian girl took his car to the place where she was going, and then he got off the bus and left, and then he didn't know that the girl went to **.
You must know that this Lao Bu is also a doctor of physics from the University of Illinois, is a very good teaching assistant, his intelligence level is also very high, and he also knows the law of the United States very well.
He knows that as long as he bites to death and doesn't admit it, he can't do anything.
* Under his various quibbles, he could only come up with further evidence to prove that he was lying, ** went to Lao Bu's house, found Lao Bu's wife, and asked Lao Bu what he did on June 9.
Lao Bu's wife said to ** that she was not at home that day and went to Wisconsin with her boyfriend, and Lao Bu was most likely going to find his girlfriend Briss that dayBecause their family is an open marriage, both people have the freedom to fall in love.
The police searched their room and found a lot of things that might be tools for the crime, baseball bats, knives and ropes used by **, but when all this was brought to Lao Bu, Lao Bu still did not admit that he knew where Zhang Yingying was.
*I found that there were obvious traces of cleaning and cleaning in Lao Bu's house, and this trace was only found in some specific parts, so I immediately used a reagent, luminol reagent.
This reagent is sprinkled on the ground, if there is blood on the ground, this reagent will fluoresce, even if the bloodstained place is cleaned, it can't escape the eyes of **.
As soon as the reagent was used, the effect immediately appeared, and there were fluorescent spots everywhere in Lao Bu's house, which showed that there were a lot of blood stains in Lao Bu's house.
After extraction, ** extracted Zhang Yingying's DNA, which shows that Zhang Yingying has encountered an accident in Lao Bu's house.
* Lao Bu was immediately interrogated, but when Lao Bu was faced with ironclad evidence, he still flatly denied killing Zhang Yingying.
* There is nothing to do about him, even if it is proved that Zhang Yingying was killed in Lao Bu's house, there is still no direct evidence to prove that Lao Bu was the one who killed Zhang Yingying**.
Twenty days have passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Yingying's family, with the help of her classmates, has held many events at the University of Illinois, hoping to find her.
On June 29, 2017, Zhang Yingying's classmates and friends once again held a prayer party for Zhang Yingying on the lawn of the University of Illinois.
At this time, among the many people who prayed for Zhang Yingying, there was a woman named Briss who was kneeling on the lawn and praying for Zhang Yingying devoutly, hoping that Zhang Yingying could return safely.
At this time, Lao Bu quietly took her mobile phone and wrote a line on the memo of the mobile phone"I did it. She will never come back. ”
After that, Lao Bu handed the phone to Briss, who was shocked when she saw the words, but she tried to hide her shock.
Lao Bu continued to write on the memo:"She's already the 13th. ”
Brissy was even more shocked, she didn't know what Lao Bu meant by saying this, why did he tell herself all this? Will he tell himself all this and then kill people?
Brissy was very scared, but she pretended to be calm and took Lao Bu's hand to a secluded place, and carefully asked Lao Bu what was going on, and she showed that she was very interested in Lao Bu's affairs.
Lao Bu saw Briss's performance and thought that Briss must be as psychological as himself, so he wanted to know the specific details, Lao Bu was like telling about his great achievements, telling the whole process of killing Zhang Yingying.
And the whole process of his narration was recorded by Briss with her mobile phone.
After that, Briss excused herself to her own house under the pretext that it was getting late, and left Lao Bu.
When she returned to a safe place, she immediately called the police and explained that Lao Bu had killed 13 girls and was a serial killer.
* Immediately arrested Lao Bu, because there was a recording as direct evidence, Lao Bu could no longer deny it, and had to admit that he had indeed killed Zhang Yingying.
On June 9th, Lao Bu's wife said directly to Lao Bu that she was going to Wisconsin with her boyfriend, Lao Bu was very sad after hearing it, and he began to drink at home alone, because Wisconsin is the place where Lao Bu and his wife fell in love, and now his wife and other men go there for the weekend, and they can't live up to the sweetness they once had.
Lao Bu drank to a certain extent, he was already drunk, he drove his own car, went out on the street, he wanted to vent his inner grievances, he saw a girl at the University of Illinois, he tried his best but could not trick the woman into his car, he was disappointed, and drove the car to continue looking for the next target in college.
At this time, he missed the bus, and Zhang Yingying, who was wandering at the bus stop, came into his eyes.
Lao Bu is an excellent teaching assistant at the University of Illinois, a doctoral student, at the University of Illinois, Zhang Yingying once went to listen to Lao Bu's class, and had several encounters with Lao Bu, but the two never spoke.
When Lao Bu knew that Zhang Yingying was going to see the house, but after missing the bus, he warmly invited Zhang Yingying to take his car, and he could send Zhang Yingying to where she wanted to go.
Zhang Yingying repeatedly excused herself, and Lao Bu repeatedly invited her, Zhang Yingying hesitated, but still got into Lao Bu's car.
Lao Bu took Zhang Yingying all the way to his house, Zhang Yingying found that it was not the place she wanted to go, only to suddenly realize that Lao Bu had a hideous face, and Lao Bu dragged Zhang Yingying to his house.
After that, Lao Bu plotted against him, Zhang Yingying struggled desperately, although the girl Lao Bu had killed before had also struggled, but all of them were not as fierce as Zhang Yingying's struggle.
Lao Bu had no way to achieve his goal, he was angry, he picked up the baseball bat and began to hit Zhang Yingying, Zhang Yingying actually got up and snatched the baseball bat with Lao Bu, Lao Bu took out the knife at this time, and stabbed Zhang Yingying in the neck, Zhang Yingying grabbed the blade of the knife and resisted desperately, but in the end she was killed by Lao Bu.
When Lao Bu told Briss about his crime, he was full of smiles and smugness.
Brissy endured the nausea and fear in her heart, and asked about the whereabouts of Zhang Yingying's body, but Lao Bu said proudly, I won't tell you this, no one will ever know that she went**, this is my secret.
After ** arrested Lao Bu, Lao Bu explained the whereabouts of Zhang Yingying's body to **, he decomposed Zhang Yingying's body, put it into several garbage bags, and then threw it into different trash cans.
On July 13, 2017, Lao Bu was prosecuted for "kidnapping to death", and the court decided to hear the case on September 13.
However, the defense lawyer has been applying for an adjournment of the trial, so the court's ** time was postponed from September 13, 2017 to February 2018, and then postponed to June 3, 2019, so that the court did not rush to hear the case.
When the procuratorate filed the indictment, it believed that the defense lawyer would definitely use the shield of Lao Bu's mental illness to clear Lao Bu's name, but unexpectedly, on the matter of whether Lao Bu was mentally ill, the defense lawyer only symbolically mentioned it, and continued the trial according to the prosecution's wishes.
The prosecution saw the defense lawyer's defense attitude as if it were a routine affair, and his suspicions increased.
The conviction process was successfully passed, and when it came to the sentencing stage, the defense lawyer seemed to have woken up from a sleep and began to defend himself.
In the sentencing process, the defense lawyer invited 41 witnesses and gave 49 mitigating factors.
At this time, the prosecution realized that the defense lawyer was not defending innocence, but making a big fuss about "exempting the death penalty".
In the United States, the judge's decision is of course important, but even more important is the opinion of the jury, which generally selects 12 jury members from the local general public, and as long as one jury member objects to the death penalty, the death sentence will not be established.
The defense lawyer invited so many witnesses, just to prove that Lao Bu is excellent, to prove that Lao Bu is an excellent teaching assistant, and at the same time, it is also necessary to explain the formation of Lao Bu's ** psychology, so that the jury can understand that Lao Bu is worthy of pity and should not be sentenced to death, and not all the guilt is caused by Lao Bu alone.
The defense lawyer's goal was eventually achieved, and two members of the jury opposed the use of the death penalty, and in the end, Lao Bu was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of bail forever.
In other words, Lao Bu will sit through the bottom of the prison.
However, the Chinese have always paid attention to killing people to pay for their lives, and Zhang Yingying's parents even hope that killing ** can pay for their lives with their lives.
But this is what the Chinese think in the United States, the judge will not think too much, and the jury will not think too much.
Zhang Yingying, although she is relatively good, her family is too ordinary, and it can even be said that the current Chinese situation is not very good.
Zhang Yingying's father was a driver and joined the work force after graduating from junior high school, and her mother was illiterate and did not know a word, so she was a proper housewife.
She also has a younger brother, who is different from Zhang Yingying, who is a scumbag who dropped out of school before graduating from junior high school.
Zhang Yingying was admitted to the School of Environmental Science of Sun Yat-sen University in 2009, and in her sophomore year, she went to the poor mountainous areas of Guizhou to teach, thus strengthening her belief in using knowledge to change her destiny.
In the first year of entering Peking University, she joined the Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences of Peking University, and got 4,000 yuan in the first month's salary, which was higher than her father's salary.
It can be said that Zhang Yingying has opened the door to success with her own efforts.
Zhang Yingying has a plan for her life, she hopes to study abroad, and then bring in talents to return to China, and change her destiny from then on.
In April 2017, she was given the opportunity to be a visiting scholar at the University of Illinois while pursuing her PhD.
In this way, after a few years of overseas experience, she can realize her life dream.
Zhang Yingying's excellence is obvious to all, everyone is praising Zhang Yingying's excellence and bright future, only Zhang Yingying's illiterate mother always said to her: "Child, don't let yourself live too tired, it's almost enough." ”
The mother hopes that Zhang Yingying can be an ordinary woman, get married and have children as soon as possible, and when the time comes, she can go to take care of her daughter's children.
Perhaps, for a mother, she doesn't want her daughter to be successful, she just feels sorry for whether her daughter is very tired along the way, when others see your dazzling light, only the mother is worried about whether you are really happy, whether you are really happy.
Despite this, Zhang Yingying has always been flying very steadily, she decided to study abroad, and the family expressed support, and her father even borrowed 50,000 yuan to pay her tuition for her study abroad.
But only two months after such an excellent and motivated Zhang Yingying arrived in the United States, she was ended by a ** serial killer, and her life was forever fixed in the mood for love at the age of 27.
After she died, even the body could not be recovered, because when Lao Bu confessed the whereabouts of Zhang Yingying's body, 18 months had passed since Zhang Yingying's death.
Zhang Yingying's body was landfilled as garbage, which needed to be compressed before landfilling, and it was almost impossible to retrieve it.
After Zhang Yingying's death, her mother was bedridden due to grief.
Father Zhang has been immersed in self-blame, and even listed three major crimes for himself.
First, Zhang Yingying wanted to go abroad, but his wife disagreed, so she agreed.
Second, she is still incompetent and can't make money, which leads her daughter to take a ride in order to save money.
Third, in court, he did not dare to stab the enemy and exchange his life for his life.
It wasn't until 2019 that Zhang Yingying's brother-in-law had a child and the old couple had a grandson, which brought some joy to this family full of gloom.
In order to repay the loan and take care of his wife, the father chose to open a live broadcast to bring goods, but was questioned by netizens about consuming his dead daughter.
How much the old father's heart hurts, people who haven't experienced it don't understand at all.
