南院開庭時,審判長全程以台語詢問,因葉婦年事已高理解困難,法官要求法警替她配戴助聽器以保障權益,確認聽訊無礙後,法官詢問是否承認殺死姊姊。葉婦吐露自己非常痛苦,經律師協助解釋,才以微弱聲調向法官坦承犯行。
檢察官與律師對犯罪事實不爭執,不主張自首,但認同葉婦已滿80歲符合減刑條件,唯一爭執點在於是否符合刑法第59條情堪憫恕以求進一步減刑。檢辯雙方預定傳喚葉婦胞弟、兩名姪子及社工到庭作證,釐清案發前的家庭照護壓力。
合議庭當庭抽出300位國民法官名單,預計11月底進行選任。審判長向葉婦說明,後續審理預計耗時3天,考量其高齡,法院將在法庭內準備床鋪備用。法官叮嚀若身體不適可隨時反映,並指示法警提前確認助聽器設備,確保程序順利進行。
