Arguing worried about X's homework book

He Guan analyzed that the defendant stated in his defense that X used a ruler to scrape the partition before the incident, but X did not stop immediately after he dissuaded him.

Then X walked out of his seat to search the classroom. The defendant saw X drop the ballpoint pen back to his seat. He stopped him and said, "Hello! What's the matter?" But X didn't respond.

The defendant was worried that X would have the opportunity to throw the homework book in his hand. To avoid danger, he grabbed X's upper arm to stop his behavior. It cannot be ruled out that the defendant did not attack intentionally.

Self-incrimination without legal fees

He Guan also said that the defendant has been a teacher for more than 30 years and has never received any complaints. There are also witnesses to prove his character. Based on the principle that the benefit of doubt belongs to the defendant, he was acquitted.

The defense's application to recover costs was opposed by the prosecution.

He Guan believed that the defendant admitted that he had captured X, but also stepped up his efforts, which made him cry, frightened and injured.
