如果学法律的华人学生李伟Daniel的招供属实,他在位于伯恩赛德Burnside的家中对打时,杀害了对他要求严格的母亲。他的证词已足说服陪审团不给他定谋杀罪。。。

Adelaide law student Wei Li not guilty of murdering his mother but guilty of manslaughter
After seven and a half hours of deliberation, a jury has acquitted an Adelaide law student of murdering his mother but convicted him of the lesser charge of manslaughter.
Wei Li, 22, had claimed his mother was going to kill him and so he fought back in self-defence when he killed her in March 2011 at the family's Burnside home.
现年22岁的李伟声称自己是出于自卫,还手要杀他的母亲,导致在2011年三月时杀害了自己的母亲
The court heard 41-year-old Emma Mae Tian suffered more than 50 injuries when she was attacked with a metal pole and strangled.
Her body was found days later wrapped in blood-soaked bed sheets in the living room of the family home.
After his mother's death, Li went to China via Melbourne and Singapore and remained overseas for three years before being detained by Chinese authorities in 2014 because his visa expired.
The jury retired to begin considering its verdict at 12:45pm and returned a unanimous verdict at about 8:20pm.
Wei Li smiled briefly after the verdict was handed down tonight.
The case returns to court on Thursday for submissions on Li's sentence.
Li had given evidence in his own defence, telling the jury that his mother started yelling and screaming because he did not want to practice the piano.
He said his mother came at him out of nowhere and he had to stop her.
In summing up his case, prosecutor Jim Pearce rejected Li's claim that he was provoked by his mother and attacked her in self-defence.
Mr Pearce said Ms Tian was left with a "multitude of injuries" while Li was "seemingly unmarked".
"She fought for her life as her son held either his hands or a ligature around her neck and held it tight until she died," he said.
"He must have felt his mother's life slip through his fingertips."
Mr Pearce said Li would have literally been face-to-face with his mother and watched her struggle for life.
"That fact alone, I suggest, is as clear an indicator of an intent to kill as one can imagine."
The trial heard an examination of Li's laptop computer showed that around the time of his mother's death he searched terms including "where to stab using knife instantly cause someone/somethings death" and "how to instantly avoid police".
He also accessed a video on the internet that gave instructions about trying knots.
Li's lawyer Kevin Borick urged the jury to reject the prosecution's image of Li as a "cold-blooded killer" and said the case instead concerned "a very complex and emotional incident".
He said Li was never good enough in his mother's eyes and she always wanted money and power. |
