Everyone was shocked at Lu Jia’er’s remarks and gazed at Lu Jia’er. Xu Lei’s eyes were particularly meaningful.
“But her second personality has not yet stabilized!” Lu Jia’er continued.
“Professor Lu, how did you come to the conclusion that Yu Fei has a split personality!” Xu Lei looked at Lu Jia’er and asked.
“There was room for doubt in the transcript from the psychological profile, but it was ruled out by you with relevant evidence. During the two conversations with me, Yu Fei talked normally, but the emotion shown in her eyes was a bit different!” Lu Jia’er explained.
“The emotion shown in her eyes?” Zhu Yu repeated the phrase.
“Go and get the surveillance video of Zhu Yu’s conversations with her last week. At the end of the conversation, Yu Fei had an inconsistent look, which I discover after reading all of your interrogation videos! But this conclusion needs to be verified!” Lu Jia’er said.
“Xiao Ou, contact the detention center and ask them to send a copy of Yu Fei’s surveillance videos!” Xu Lei requested a man at the meeting to get the videos.
“Okay, I will contact them immediately!” said the man, he typed swiftly on the computer keyboard in front of him, the air filled with the sound of him clicking away.
Xu Lei gazed at Lu Jia’er. “Professor Lu, the conclusion you gave needs to be verified, is that correct?”
Lu Jia’er knew that the case was urgent and could not help but say, “Yes, I can help in this regard, but how will such a case involving dual personality be judged in conformity with legal provisions in China?”
After all, Lu Jia’er was not an expert in criminal psychology, and she did not know much about the standards of trial.
“The conviction of crime has nothing to do with whether it is a dual personality. It mainly depends on whether it meets the elements of the conviction, whether there is illegal exclusion cause and the responsibility exclusion cause. In some special cases of sentencing, it will be taken into consideration the circumstances in regard to criterion for imposing penalty.” said Zhu Yu.
Lu Jia’er heard the words and frowned slightly.
Zhu Yu continued to say, “That is to say, in the process of sentencing, they will use the judicial forensics to determine the mental state of the person when they committed the crime. If the patient does have a personality split and was in the generalization stage of consciousness when the crime was being committed, then the person will be exempt from criminal responsibility. If it is only a double personality disorder, it does not constitute a reference condition for sentencing, and the person should be fully criminally responsible.”
“When the crime was being committed in the generalization stage of consciousness, the person will be exempt from criminal responsibility?” Lu Jia’er said with doubt.
“Yes!” Zhu Yu nodded.
Xu Lei looked at Lu Jia’er, who was absorbed in thought and said, “Professor Lu, you won’t define this case as a mental illness case, will you?”
“Deputy Captain Xu, the nature of the case must be determined by the police. As for the criminal suspect’s mental state, I can provide some psychological knowledge, which might be helpful to the investigation.” Lu Jia’er replied.
“Zhu Yu, what is your opinion?” Xu Lei asked.
Zhu Yu looked down at the doubts pointed out by Lu Jia’er. Then he looked up, “Given some doubts on the psychological profile, what Professor Lu has suggested is also likely to happen.”
As Xu Lei heard the words, he requested, “Then we will follow the advice of Professor Lu and put together a psychiatric evaluation of Yu Fei!”
“Yes!” Zhu Yu answered.
