Chapter 020: When the trial is in progress

When he came to the court, Fang Chaoyang met the prosecutor's defense lawyer, Yan Ze, a senior lawyer at Zhengwen Law Firm, in the interview room.

This is a chubby man in his early thirties, with black-rimmed eyes, and his hair is neatly groomed, and he looks particularly shrewd and capable.

"Dean Chaoyang, it's been a long time. Yan Ze stepped forward to shake hands.

"Lawyer Yan is fat!" Fang Chaoyang said with a smile.

"You can't control it! You're getting more and more handsome, and you don't dare to compare. Yan Ze exclaimed.

Fang Chaoyang used to be a lawyer, and the two were very familiar with each other before, not only had they drunk together, but they also had-for-tat debates in a courtroom.

The lawyer is very profitable, and there are not so many constraints, but Fang Chaoyang's ambition is not here, and he later took the judicial examination and became a judge of the Intermediate People's Court with the first place.

Because of his excellent work, within a few years, he not only became the vice president, but also the chief judge of the criminal court.

"Lawyer Yan, has the prosecutor added new evidence?" Fang Chaoyang asked directly.

"Yes, Tan Aijing is actually not as bad as the outside world thinks, she once had a good relationship with her daughter Sun Xiaoyun, and there is a video as proof. I was more inclined to be impulsive, triggering a brief period of insanity, before I committed an aggressive act towards my daughter. In addition, her uncle is a psychopath and may have a family lineage. Yan Ze said.

"Have you been to see that kid?" Fang Chaoyang asked.

"It's really pitiful that I've been, but I think the law should not be swayed by emotions, let alone subservient to public opinion. Yan Ze said.

"The relevant judicial interpretation of the Supreme People's Court half a year ago, you should know that it is suspected of harming children, and it is recommended to give a heavier punishment to set an example. In addition, as a former friend, I also want to advise you, don't think about increasing your fame by eyeballs, this is a public trial. Fang Chaoyang reminded.

"Dean Chaoyang, I am a lawyer, and of course I am responsible for the client. Yan Ze was a little unhappy when he was said.

"Okay, then see you in court!"

Fang Chaoyang got up and returned to the office, rested for a while, and then rushed to the criminal trial court.

The trial officially opened at nine o'clock, and the observers had already entered the venue one after another, and in addition, Dong'an TV Station and Dong'an Daily also sent reporters to set up cameras on one side. Of course, this is permissible.

Outside the gate of the courthouse, many people have gathered, all waiting for the final verdict of this case.

Clerk Xiao Zhao had already arrived in court in advance, and seeing that the time was almost up, she got up and said: "I am Zhao Fangfang, the clerk of the court, please be quiet, and now announce the court discipline." Obey the adjudicators' commands, do not make noise, applaud, interject, smoke, enter the trial area, and do not record, photograph, or take pictures without permission. Judges or bailiffs have the power to stop acts that violate court discipline and obstruct proceedings......"

After Xiao Zhao finished reading out, there was silence in the audience, and everyone was looking forward to it, waiting for the handsome presiding judge to appear.

"Prosecutors and defenders are invited to enter the courtroom. Xiao Zhao said loudly.

Two procurators and lawyer Yan Ze, dressed in the procuratorate's formal uniforms, immediately entered the courtroom, sat on either side of the courtroom, took out the materials they had prepared, and placed them neatly on the table.

"The presiding judge of this trial is Comrade Fang Chaoyang, vice president of the Dong'an Intermediate People's Court, and Comrade Gao Yiwei and Comrade Mu Fan, jurors. Xiao Zhao said.

Everyone stood up, Fang Chaoyang was wearing a legal robe, and together with Gao Yiwei and Mu Fan, he walked into the courtroom with calm steps and stood at the back of the judge's seat.

I don't know who took the lead, but there was a burst of warm applause on the field.

Fang Chaoyang frowned slightly, pressed down his hand, and said: "Welcome everyone, this is the court, not chasing stars, don't applaud, abide by the court order." ”

The applause gradually stopped, and the clerk Xiao Zhao looked helpless, this is not the first time, when Judge Fang is in court, there will always be applause.

"Please sit down!" Fang Chaoyang said.

Everyone sat down, Fang Chaoyang, Gao Yiwei, and Mu Fan also sat down. On Fang Chaoyang's head, there is a solemn and strict national emblem, which represents the power granted by the law.

"Report to the presiding judge, the prosecutor and defender have arrived in court, the appellant Tan Aijing is already in the detention room, the pre-trial work has been prepared, and the report has ended. Xiao Zhao said.

"Okay!" Fang Chaoyang stood up again and said loudly: "The Dong'an Intermediate People's Court is now open to trial of Tan Aijing's case of suspected intentional wounding, which appealed. ”

Then, Fang Chaoyang knocked down the gavel heavily!

Under the supervision of two tall bailiffs with a height of 1.8 meters, Tan Aijing walked into the courtroom with her head down, she looked like she was in her early thirties, not tall, and her figure was very thin, especially the hands with handcuffs were even thinner, and the green tendons formed several bulges on the back of her hands.

Fang Chaoyang squinted his eyes and looked at those hands, if he was not a judge, he would also want to rush forward and break off these evil hands.

There was a commotion in the auditorium, some people exchanged heads, and some people cursed in a low voice, when everyone was disgusted with Tan Aijing, they could poison an eight-year-old child, and they could be called a wicked woman.

I don't know what the lawyer said to Tan Aijing before, she was calm, and then stood in the suspect seat opposite Fang Chaoyang.

It's just that when she came into contact with Fang Chaoyang's sharp gaze, she couldn't help but tremble.

Next, it is necessary to verify the appellant's situation, name, date of birth, ethnicity, occupation, address, and when he was criminally detained or arrested.

This woman is very cunning, this is Fang Chaoyang's first impression of Tan Aijing. Moreover, after committing such a crime, I can't see how remorse she has.

After the questioning, Fang Chaoyang said: "According to Article 152 of the Criminal Procedure Law, this court openly tried the case of the appellant Tan Aijing, who was prosecuted by the Xiangyang District People's Procuratorate to this court, on suspicion of intentional wounding, and this court was composed of Fang Chaoyang, Gao Yiwei, and Mu Fan, and the clerk Zhao Fangfang served as the court record, and the people's procuratorate assigned Sun Xiaoli and Zhao Gang to appear in court to support the prosecution, and Yan Ze, a lawyer from Dong'an Zhengwen Law Firm, defended the appellant Tan Aijing. ”

Subsequently, Fang Chaoyang announced the main procedural rights enjoyed by the parties and defenders in accordance with the law during the court trial.

"Appellant Tan Aijing, did you hear clearly?"

"I hear you clearly. ”

"Appellant Tan Aijing, have you applied for recusal?"

"No application!"

"Now the court investigation will begin, and Comrade Gao Yiwei will read out the first-instance verdict. Fang Chaoyang said in a deep voice.

"Presiding Judge, I ask Gao Yiwei to recuse himself. Tan Aijing said suddenly.
