Under Lawyer Zhang Wei's passionately eloquent speech,
the task of eliminating jurors was also satisfactorily completed.
Possibly out of consideration for Zhang Wei's influential speech, or due to the formality of courtroom proceedings, the final gender ratio of the jury was 1:1.
Three men and three women, balanced in number on both sides.
"Very well, we now have a jury. The first formal hearing will begin tomorrow!"
Ni Qiuping announced with a gavel strike, then promptly stood up to leave her seat.
Tomorrow would be Tuesday, the start of the first trial session.
The schedule was tight, but for a divorce litigation, it was nothing unusual.
After all, if there really was any evidence, it was probably already collected.
So holding court on Tuesday seemed within reason.
Both the plaintiff and the defendant, under Ni Qiuping's signal, prepared to leave the courtroom.
Before leaving, Gu Shimang glanced at Gao Tianri, her eyes filled with nothing but malice and triumph.
