Chapter 44 Firefighters Who Testify
Speaking of this, the prosecutor put down the autopsy report and said: "Judging from this autopsy report, Zhou Dingguo was very painful when he died, and he also died of mechanical asphyxiation. But what was the object that was holding him down on his neck? Collapsed building materials? Apparently not. Because if it was a building material, his neck would obviously not be so lightly injured, and his skin would not show so few scars. ”
The prosecutor continued: "And we later went to ask the forensic doctor in question, and according to the medical examiner's description: the body of the deceased was relatively clean, and it really did not look like it was injured by the collapse of the building. Unless the deceased was unlucky, a steel pipe, or PVC pipe, smashed into his neck and crushed him alive. Other than that, there is no way to explain the cause of death of the deceased. However, because the original deflagration accident had already been determined, and the family did not agree to the autopsy, the official autopsy report could only go so far. However, according to the description of the forensic doctor concerned, we can still conclude that it was an unusual, non-sharp plane that would not cause injury to the human body that caused Zhou Dingguo's death. ”
As soon as he heard that there were loopholes in the prosecutor's words, he immediately jumped out and fought back, and he didn't even need the process of applying to the presiding judge to speak: "Even if the item that caused Zhou Dingguo's death was not a building material, it cannot be proved that the item was a leg of my client! The prosecutor would have forcibly put the murderous hat on my client's head if he expressed it like this." ”
After hearing the words of the defense lawyer, the presiding judge first nodded, and then said to the prosecutor: "Prosecutor, the defense lawyer's words are reasonable, if you do not have enough evidence, your reasoning cannot be established, please pay attention to your words." ”
After listening to the presiding judge's warning, the prosecutor nodded, and then said to the presiding judge: "Okay, presiding judge, if there is not enough evidence, we will not be able to stand in this place with confidence, and I ask that another witness be brought to court." ”
The presiding judge nodded, then asked the defense lawyer, "Defense lawyer, do you agree?"
"Yes!" the defense lawyer nodded and agreed, without any reason to object.
Hearing that a new witness was about to appear, Haji stood up and was about to jump out of the small table on the witness stand. Seeing Haji's action, everyone present was amazed, because Haji did not have a trainer around him to remind him, and it was obvious that Haji understood people's conversations and made his own choice.
At this time, the prosecutor warned the court and asked Xiao Zhang to take Haji down to court. Unexpectedly, at this time, the presiding judge suddenly stopped the bailiff and said: "No need, I think this search and rescue dog is very smart, and it won't bark and make trouble, so let it stay there! Maybe it will go to court after a while, and it will be too troublesome to go up and down." ”
Hearing the presiding judge's instructions, the bailiff naturally did not let Xiao Zhang in again. Haji also understood the words of the presiding judge, and he sat back down as soon as he got up, and continued to leisurely watch the presiding judge adjudicate the case, as if it was obviously a very simple thing to understand human speech.
Seeing this scene, the presiding judge couldn't help but nod slightly, and then said in admiration: "What a good search and rescue dog!" Then the presiding judge explained to everyone in the court: "Actually, what I just said is testing it, if it can really understand human speech completely, and reacts so quickly, it means that its IQ and understanding are super high, and then the credibility of its testimony will be greater." It turned out that everyone saw it, and although I was a little surprised, it did understand it completely. And the response was quick and didn't disappoint me. Great, you're great!"
As he spoke, the presiding judge gave a thumbs up to Haji, who was looking at him, and gave him a compliment.
Seeing the presiding judge make a gesture of approval to himself, Haji also showed a canine standard smile, and then raised his right front paw to salute the presiding judge in an irregular manner. This action also shows that Haji can indeed understand human speech completely and can make emotional and emotional feedback.
"Hmm-" The people at the trial scene erupted in admiration, not only to praise Haji's wisdom but also to praise the wisdom of the presiding judge. Through such a small test, the presiding judge not only tested Haji's IQ, but also let the people present know what kind of person the apparently serious presiding judge is. He is not only a serious judge, but also a person with a sense of love and justice, otherwise how could he come up with such a way to test and confirm the ability of a search and rescue dog at this time? This is a responsible and good judge!
Hearing the words of the presiding judge and the suffering of the audience, the defense lawyer knew that it was not good. Clearly, Haji has conquered the presiding judge and the observers to a certain extent, giving them a certain inclination. But so what? Can he stand up and say it directly? Or can he directly object to it?
If that's the case, he's the enemy of all people, and even if he does, he won't be able to move an inch. In the future, even if the loopholes and mistakes of the prosecution are found, it will be difficult to counterattack and attack. There's no way, who let himself take on such a client's case, the odds of winning are not great. Forget it, let's keep some feelings and find the most critical place to use it. Thinking of this, it was also very rare for the defense lawyer not to speak, and the bailiff called in the next witness.
said that it was the next witness, but in fact, a group of witnesses, a total of three people, were the three firefighters who went into the rubble that day to rescue Huang Fatzi and another trapped person, Zhou Jianxin.
"Witnesses, please tell the court who you are. The presiding judge spoke.
"Report to the presiding judge and jurors, we are firefighters from the Municipal Fire Brigade, and we are members of the rescue team that entered the ruins to save people when the deflagration accident occurred in Jiangxia District. It was the three of us who cooperated with each other to rescue Zhou Jianxin and Huang Weiming. Oh, and of course, this search and rescue dog with his handler, Xiao Zhang. The rescue team led by the team reported to the presiding judge and jurors.
Haji noticed that the firefighter seemed to have no healed injuries, and when he walked into the courtroom, two comrades around him helped him. Hearing the firefighter mention himself, Haji instinctively reached out in friendliness and sniffed the scent of the three firefighters. One of the firefighters closest to Haji smiled and then reached out and stroked Haji's head. Seeing this scene, everyone in and out of court smiled knowingly, except for Huang Fatzi and his defender, of course.
After asking the names and positions of the three firefighters, they entered the witness testimony session. The leader of the rescue squad led by the team talked about the general rescue process, which also highlighted the clumsy performance of Huang Fatzi when he was rescued in the ruins. He climbed out of the first place despite his companions, but he was too fat to pass through the narrow place, but he had to go through the first one, or let everyone die inside; when he finally escaped from the ruins, this guy was disobedient and kicked and kicked indiscriminately, so that he kicked off the supporting steel column, causing the rescue squad leader to almost die inside.
One by one, the eyes of the people at the scene when they looked at the yellow fat man added a little disgust from the previous hatred. How bad is this person? There is always a selfish and perverse side revealed everywhere. If it weren't for the last firefighter running fast, Hachicheng would have died there.
"Presiding judge, jurors, I have something to say. Hearing the firefighter's speech was not good for his client, the defense lawyer and Huang Fatzi couldn't sit still. The two of them exchanged glances, and the defense lawyer had to step up again.
Seeing that the defense lawyer came out to stir up the situation again, the presiding judge was a little dissatisfied. But he couldn't stop the defense lawyer from letting him speak, he could only hesitate with a gloomy face, and then nodded and agreed to the other party's statement.
"Presiding judge and jurors, what this witness said just now is too subjective and inevitably biased, and I have to draw attention to the court, hoping that this witness will pay attention to your wording. Commenting on my client in this way would preconceive uninformed people. "On closer inspection, what the defense lawyer said is reasonable.
Too subjective and tendentious testimony on the part of a witness can indeed have an important impact on the outcome of the case. However, the lawyer underestimated the quality of the firefighters. I saw that the fire squad leader looked at the defense lawyer, and after obtaining the presiding judge's consent, he directly addressed the defense: "Is it subjective? Of course it is! What I say is what I have personally experienced, and I will say whatever I have experienced." There is no concealment, no addition to the vinegar. If I hadn't been able to run so fast, I'm afraid I'd be buried in the ground now, and I wouldn't be able to talk to you here. As for whether you are biased or not, I don't know, but I know that you, the lawyer, have taken on a case that you can't win. How much money did that guy give you? For you to do such a hurtful thing? With so many lives in a deflagration accident, will you be fine with just one mouth?"
No one expected that the fire squad leader was a straight-tempered person, and as soon as he came up, he would say a few words, so that the defense lawyer couldn't say a word. It's no wonder that at that time, the last one came out, and he was almost killed by the dead fat man and buried under the rubble, who can not have a temper? In addition, seeing this defense lawyer opening his eyes for the yellow fat man, isn't it normal for the defense lawyer to throw out a few heavy words?
