Chapter 179: The Standard of Crime and Punishment
"The Criminal Trial Division of the Dong'an Intermediate People's Court is now in session. Fang Chaoyang finished announcing and knocked down the gavel.
"Judge, you must do justice for my son!" a middle-aged woman suddenly stood up and shouted with a cry in the audience.
This kind of thing will always happen, Fang Chaoyang said in a deep voice: "Be quiet, pay attention to maintaining order in the courtroom." ”
The man next to the middle-aged woman hurriedly pulled her to sit down and complained in a low voice, no need to guess, these two must be the victim's parents, and when they arrived at such an occasion, they couldn't control their emotions.
"The defendant Yan Qi was summoned to appear in court. Fang Chaoyang said.
A bailiff stepped forward, took the prisoner list from Zhao Fangfang, and walked out quickly, and then Yan Qi was taken to the courtroom and stood in the defendant's seat.
Yan Qi is thin, more than 1.8 meters tall, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, with a polite appearance, but his eyes are quite indifferent.
What is very noticeable is that he is actually a clean and bald head, which has nothing to do with the detention center, but after he was detained, his hair fell out because of excessive worry.
Yan Qi's appearance still caused a commotion in the auditorium, and the middle-aged woman struggled to stand up several times, and was forcibly pulled down by the man next to her.
There was no way, Fang Chaoyang could only solemnly knock on the gavel and said loudly: "Everyone listens, you must remain quiet, and if you have any opinions, you will leave them after the court closes." ”
Yan Qi's waist was straight, and he always looked at Fang Chaoyang with burning eyes, in his opinion, this presiding judge would decide his future. In fact, he was wrong, and it was the ruthless law that determined how he should spend his life in the future.
"Defendant Yan Qi, do you have any other names?" Fang Chaoyang asked.
Yan Qi didn't answer, which made Fang Chaoyang a little unhappy, and asked again.
"No!" Yan Qi replied in a long voice, with great emotion.
"Defendant Yan Qi, it is necessary to remind you that cooperating with the court trial is the only way out for you. Fang Chaoyang emphasized.
"Confusing black and white, pointing to a deer as a horse, haha, I can be suspected of intentional homicide while sitting at home, whatever, is there a heavier punishment than this?" Yan Qi laughed.
"If you insist on not cooperating, you can only be invited out of the courtroom, but the trial will continue, and you will lose the opportunity to defend yourself. ”
Seeing that the presiding judge looked serious, Yan Qi pursed his thin lips vigorously, nodded and said, "Presiding judge, you ask!"
Fang Chaoyang showed patience and asked Yan Qi a series of questions such as the date of birth, ethnicity, education level, occupation and home address, including whether he had ever been subject to criminal punishment or administrative punishment, when he was arrested, when he was detained, etc.
Yan Qi thought clearly, answered quickly, and the time of arrest was even accurate to the minute, which is not surprising, he was originally a university teacher who taught high mathematics.
"Defendant Yan Qi, have you received a copy of the indictment and the notice of trial from the Dong'an Municipal People's Procuratorate?"
"Roger!"
Fang Chaoyang got up and announced loudly: "The Dong'an City Intermediate People's Court is now holding an open trial here, and the defendant Yan Qi, who was prosecuted by the Dong'an City People's Procuratorate, is suspected of committing intentional homicide. The collegial panel hearing this case is composed of presiding judge Fang Chaoyang, judges Gao Yiwei and Mu Fan, and Zhao Fangfang serves as the court clerk. The Dong'an Municipal People's Procuratorate appointed procurators Yuan Dan and Li Chunlei to appear in court to support the prosecution. Entrusted by the defendant Yan Qi, Tian Yunsu, a lawyer from Xingsheng Law Firm, appeared in court to defend the defendant Yan Qi. ”
After the announcement, Yan Qi's eyes looked at the defense seat, nodded and smiled. In the course of his detention, he changed his defense lawyer and entrusted Tian Yunsu because of his outstanding performance in the He Maolin case.
was convicted of intentional homicide and was finally convicted of justified defense, and Yan Qi naturally also had fantasies in this regard.
"According to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, the parties enjoy the following rights and procedural rights during the trial......" Fang Chaoyang then announced.
"Judge, hear clearly, don't apply for recusal, you can begin. Yan Qi lifted his glasses, very impatient with this process.
"Keeping your emotions under control and not interjecting in the middle will give you time to debate yourself. Fang Chaoyang deliberately emphasized.
"Okay!" Yan Qi nodded.
"Now for the court investigation, the prosecutor will first read out the indictment. Fang Chaoyang said.
Prosecutor Yuan Dan got up, held a thick pile of indictments in his hand, and looked at the defense lawyer Tian Yunsu opposite, last time, he was embarrassed, and this time he must get it back.
"The presiding judge, jurors, and defenders, on June 8 this year, on the street in front of the Yucai Branch of the No. 3 Middle School in our city, a horrific murder case occurred, Yan Mengwei, a teenager who dropped out of school and stayed at home, armed with a paper cutter, brutally cut the right neck artery of the victim Liu Tianzhu, causing the victim to bleed excessively and died on the spot. After learning the news, the police quickly took measures to control the suspect Yan Mengwei, who was released after interrogation because he was under the age of 14. However, in the course of interrogation, the police discovered the instigator behind the murder, Yan Mengwei's father, Yan Qi, who has adopted various methods to instigate minors and planned this murder case for many days, the details are as follows......
The indictment was very long, and it took 40 minutes before it was announced, and it has to be said that both the police and the prosecution have done a lot of meticulous work on it.
At the end of the indictment, Yuan Dan deliberately emphasized that the law stipulates that instigating juvenile crimes is equivalent to committing a crime of one's own, and the punishment must be increased.
Reliving the process of the child's killing, the mother of the victim Liu Tianzhu couldn't cry, and the father repeatedly beat his head, grief and remorse. The cause of the tragedy certainly has its prerequisites, and Yan Mengwei's encounter with campus violence, beatings and even injuries also objectively exists.
However, the only criterion for measuring crime and punishment is the law, and private individuals have no right to make any judgment.
Although a large number of facts were listed in the indictment, Yan Qi's expression was obviously unconvinced, and he kept gritting his teeth. If Fang Chaoyang hadn't warned him before, I was afraid that he would have interrupted Yuan Dan's speech and made radical remarks.
"Defendant Yan Qi, did you hear the indictment read by the prosecutor clearly?" Fang Chaoyang asked.
"Hear me clearly!" Yan Qi said loudly deliberately.
"Is it consistent with the indictment you received?"
"Unanimous!" Yan Qi gritted his teeth.
"Defendant Yan Qi, you can sit down and answer questions. ”
"No, I'm going to stand and not compromise. ”
Fang Chaoyang took a deep breath, there were not many defendants like Yan Qi, and he had accumulated too much resentment in his heart, and to this day, he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.
"Defendant Yan Qi, do you have any opinion on the facts of the crime charged against you in the indictment?"
"Yes!"
