【HIGHLIGHT】I know no amount of apologizing can make up for what you’ve been through.🥲 | YOUKU

I’m here to apologize to you. I know it’s too late for me to say anything. But I still want to apologize to you in person. I am sorry. Because of our mistakes, you’ve had to endure pressure and humiliation you never should have faced. I don’t accept your apology. I understand this verbal apology means nothing to you. But before a bigger mistake was made, we uncovered the truth and restored justice to you. We cleared your name. We promise to improve our professional capabilities and try our best to avoid
mishandling future cases. Please be seated. Let me say a few words. After hearing the Guidance Group’s report, I feel both relieved and encouraged. In such a short time, our team pushed through hardships and made significant progress. It also proved that
we can address issues with a factual, professional
legal mindset. But I must also remind everyone, we must approach problems dialectically. We must view issues from both sides. When a mistake is found,
we must correct it firmly, but you can’t doubt everything. Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. We shouldn’t deny
the entire outcome of cases like this just because of a lack of definitive evidence. Do you know what it felt like to stand at the defense table? This was an extreme insult to my character and my career. You disrupted courtroom order,
you’re only adding to your crimes! As a core member of
a criminal organization, you colluded with Wan Hai, used organized violence and threats, bullied and intimidated others, and forced unfair deals. Sorry. I can’t defend you anymore. If I, Zhang Wenjing, had committed any crimes, then what you did would’ve
been justified. But I didn’t do anything. It was you who forced me into that courtroom as a defendant. What were you doing back then? And now you came to me and said this, don’t you think you’re a hypocrite? I am sorry. We’ve already initiated
the national compensation process, you will be compensated. Mr. Li, have you ever wondered why they were so determined to label me as a member
of a criminal organization? Who’s framing me? Why are they framing me? Have you figured that out? No, right? So what did you apologize for? What justice you’re giving me? What innocence did you restore? Who told you to apologize to me? Who are you representing? I represent
Dongping People’s Procuratorate. Is that all? Since your only concern is to
wrap things up as quickly as possible, without ever truly understanding
what actually happened, then what kind of apology is this?
