Dear distinguished chief judge;

As the defense attorney of my client, I have made many surveys in secret after I took over the case. According to my client and all the information I have inspected about the case, now I have an deep and comprehensive understanding about the case . Therefore , I want to show my opinions to you, and I hope the chief would accept them .

. 1. The stolen car was found abandoned three hours after the theft with the engine still warm; at the time the car was found, my client was at the airport to meet the flight of a friend who was flying into town.

2. Lab analysis of muddy shoe prints on the floor mat of the car indicates that the prints came from a size 27 shoe; your client wears a size 25.

3. Lab analysis shows the presence of cigarette smoke in the car, but your client does not smoke.

4. The only eyewitness to the crime, who was 20 meters from the car, said the thief "looked like" your client; yet the eyewitness admitted that at the time of the theft she was not wearing her contact lenses, which had been prescribed for improving distance vision.

5. The car was stolen at about I p.m.; your client testified that he was in a town 400 kilometers away at 11 a.m.

6. In a statement to police, the eyewitness described the thief as tall; your client is short.

Because of all the doubtful points , I think it is unfair to found guilty of theft to my client. Moreover, the basic standard of criminal sanction is that taking facts as a basis and laws as the criterion, so I hope the chief judge will give a reasonable judgment to my client finally.

That’s all ,thanks.

My explanations of interesting questions：

1、Why do Chinese have Spring Festival? Where did it come from?

In Chinese mythology, the monster Nian is a beast that lives in the mountains. Every 365 days, it comes out of hiding to attack people, especially children. That day is the critical day for people. But Nian is sensitive to loud noises and is afraid of the color red. People came up with a plan to drive the monster away. On the day Nian came out, people shut doors and stay at home. They made loud noises and light firecrackers to scare away Nian.

為什么中國(guó)人要過年？"年"是什么？

傳說有一種兇猛的怪獸叫“年”住在山里，它每隔三百六十五天就出現(xiàn)一次，它咬傷百姓，尤其是小孩。百姓們便把每年的這可怕的一夜視為這一年的關(guān)口，但是年獸對(duì)噪音很敏感，而且害怕紅色，于是百姓們想出了辦法來趕走年獸。在年獸出沒的那天，百姓們大門緊閉待在家里用，并用鞭炮的噪音來驅(qū)趕年獸。

2. Why should Chinese do house cleaning before Spring Festival?

The 24th day on the last lunar month is the day for cleanup. Everyone should have a

spring-cleaning, do home cleaning, sweep their home, clean windows, wash clothes and

clean dishes, so that keep dust away. In Chinese, the word “dust” has the same pronunciation with “old”. So to sweep dust is a metaphor of sweeping away the old and starting afresh.

為什么要大清掃？

農(nóng)歷臘月二十四傳統(tǒng)掃房日。迎新首先要除舊。掃塵之日，全家上下齊動(dòng)手，用心打掃房屋、庭院，擦洗鍋碗、拆洗被褥，干干凈凈迎接新年。其實(shí)，人們借助“塵”與“陳”的諧音表達(dá)除陳、除舊的意愿。

3. Why do people wear new clothes on Spring Festival?
