Chapter 199: Is There Moonlight?
Shang Zaijun didn't speak, his brows furrowed, he didn't understand the real purpose of the defense's question, and he had been using forgetting as an excuse before.
The defendant must answer. Fang Chaoyang said.
"I don't remember exactly. Shang Zaijun said vaguely.
"Do you want to visit your sick mother in Fuyu Village?" Chi Weiran asked again.
Shang Zaijun paused, based on his trust in the defense lawyer, and nodded: "It should be, she has not been in good health during those days." ”
"Please continue to remember, what did you do after you went, and when did you leave?" Chi Weiran continued to ask.
"Boil water for the old man to take a bath, make dinner, and then ......" Shang Zaijun looked thoughtful and did not continue.
"I must be in a bad mood to see my mother sick!"
"It's human nature. ”
"Thinking about my sick daughter at home, did you leave that night?" Chi Weiran asked again.
Yuan Dan breathed a sigh of relief, these were exactly what she wanted to ask, but she didn't expect that the other party's defense lawyer would also mention the key issues, could it be that the defense also felt that Shang Zaijun's crime was unforgivable, and began to attack the defendant?
"I don't remember. Shang Zaijun shrugged, not fooled at all.
In Fang Chaoyang's view, no matter how Shang Zaijun denied it, the facts were clear, and with witness testimony, he couldn't shirk it at all. On the contrary, the belated mention of these issues is questionable.
"Defendant, do you remember if there was any moonlight that night?" Chi Weiran continued.
"Yes!" Shang Zaijun affirmed.
"On the east side of Fuyu Village, there is a small river, do you have any impression?"
"Yes!"
"Presiding judge, the defense has finished questioning. Chi didn't say yet.
"Is there anyone else in the defense who needs to ask the defendant?" Fang Chaoyang asked.
"I don't have a problem. Joe Ocean said.
Fang Chaoyang turned his head and discussed a few words with Gao Yiwei and Mu Fan in a low voice, and then announced: "Now adjourn the trial, take the defendant down, and at 1:30 in the afternoon, the trial will continue to hear the case." ”
After knocking down the gavel, Fang Chaoyang and the three of them left the judge's seat, Shang Zaijun's case could not be heard in one day, so there was no need to be too anxious.
After going back and resting for twenty minutes, Fang Chaoyang came to the restaurant, took the dinner plate, and sat with Gao Yiwei, Mu Fan and Zhao Fangfang.
"Head, it's not good. Gao Yiwei frowned and said.
"What's wrong?" Fang Chaoyang asked.
"I suspect that there is evidence that has not been submitted to the court for a long time. ”
"It's not in accordance with the rules. Xiao Zhao said immediately.
"There is a problem, but if they submit new evidence in court, in this case, we can't refuse, it will make a lot of people feel that the trial is unfair. Fang Chaoyang said.
"Shang Zaijun must be sentenced to death. Mu Fan slapped the table angrily.
"Let's see how the prosecution responds, and if necessary, the trial can be extended by adjournment. I also believe that the evidence in this case is conclusive, and the final trial result must not be changed because of the sophistry of the lawyers' team. Fang Chaoyang said.
"How much money did Chi Weiran and Yao Wuyan charge and behave so hard?" Xiao Zhao wondered.
Shang Zaijun couldn't pay this fee, but he was afraid that someone else would pay it for him. Gao Yiwei said.
"Who wants to keep this scumbag alive? It's so incomprehensible, the brain is sick. Xiao Zhao said again.
"Shang Zaijun was involved in three murders, and no one could protect him. Fang Chaoyang said firmly.
"Boss, there must be something strange in this. Gao Yiwei said.
"You can't think about it so much first, and then talk about it after the case is over. Fang Chaoyang waved his hand, he couldn't see it, but he also had Xiao Zhao's doubts.
Whether it is Chi Weiran or Yao Wuyan, they are very shrewd lawyers, and if they want to get real answers from them, I am afraid it will be very difficult.
After lunch, Fang Chaoyang just wanted to take a break, when Mu Qing's call came in.
"Chaoyang, you are acting too domineering today. Familiar with Fang Chaoyang, Mu Qing used a friendly name.
Fang Chaoyang didn't care about this, and said with a smile: "Reporter Mu, are the injuries on your feet healed?"
"It's okay to walk, but it's not okay to walk fast. ”
"I haven't asked you yet, what did Hai Xiaochuan do to you that day?"
"To add some details on the report, he also invited me to a big dinner, well, a violation. In addition, I sent it to the clinic and reprocessed the surface of my foot, which hurt me so much that tears flowed out. Mu Qing said.
"There's nothing wrong with SITC funding to build roads, but I don't know Hai Xiaochuan well, so I can't give you any advice. Fang Chaoyang reminded.
"Hehe, I'm not a child, I won't be fooled. Mu Qing said with a smile, full of gratitude to this upright judge in his heart.
"I saw you in court, second to the left in the third-to-last row. ”
"I remember it very clearly, Chaoyang, according to my experience in the rivers and lakes, those two lawyers are only afraid that they will not be good. Mu Qing also mentioned this problem.
"The court allows the defense, no matter what their purpose, the evidence comes first, and eloquence does not play a key role. Fang Chaoyang said.
"You may not have read it, the Internet is full of reports about this case, and many people have commented that the court is biased in favor of the prosecution and does not give the defendant a chance to plead. Mu Qing said.
"Whatever they say, the court is a relatively independent judiciary that does not tolerate interference in the adjudication of cases, and does not take sides. ”
"I'm going to send out a press release, no one else can take care of it, I'll talk to you anyway. Mu Qing did not forget to invite credit.
"Thank you!"
At this time, the phone on the table rang, it was Dean Li Xiang calling, Fang Chaoyang hurriedly said: "Reporter Mu, let's not talk about it first, the dean is looking for me." ”
"Good!"
The phone rang a few times and stopped, Fang Chaoyang tidied up his clothes, got up and went out, and came to the dean's office.
Dean Li Xiang's face was gloomy, he first handed over a cigarette, and then said: "Chaoyang, I just replayed the trial process in the morning, these two lawyers are menacing, and they must be guarded against. ”
"They came from afar, willing to defend Shang Zaijun, and they must have an impure purpose. Fang Chaoyang said.
"The 625 corpse dismemberment case is a very important matter, and if Shang Zaijun cannot be convicted, it will be tantamount to overturning Lei Fumin's trial, which is very unfavorable to the court. ”
"Dean, rest assured, I know this, at present, it seems that Shang Zaijun's confession is fine, the chain of evidence is also complete, and he cannot escape justice. Fang Chaoyang said.
"To tell you the truth, I didn't expect such a wave in the trial before. ”
"Shang Zaijun is a cold-blooded and cruel scoundrel, he wants to use depression and forgetfulness as a shield, it is simply wishful thinking, and the law will never allow it. Fang Chaoyang said angrily.
