Chapter 102: Perjury
The prosecution kept the cases of Xiao Guo and Zhao Xue strictly confidential, even if the industry did not know much about the situation. Cao Yun, who understood the situation, felt that the current situation was a mess, and the situation could be changed or even more confused at any time because of new clues or evidence. Perhaps there will be no new clues and evidence at all.
In this case, Cao Yun can't help even if he has the heart. Moreover, after talking with Yue Sanchi, Cao Yun did not rule out the possibility that Zhao Xue and Xiao Guo might become traitors. Can't you be a traitor after a lesson in searching? This is not in line with materialist logic.
Xiao Guo's monthly salary is 40,000 yuan, which is quite high in Dongtang. But against opponents such as the Grand League, the Hyenas, the Flame Court, and multimillions, tens of millions of transnational criminal gangs. The most terrible thing is that although there is a very strict supervision mechanism, it is a pity that the road is one foot high and the magic is one foot high, and these big gangs have a more clever way of giving money.
This case was thrown aside first, and Cao Yun put all his energy on the Ma Yu perjury case.
Five days after Ma Yuan's visit, Cao Yun officially became Ma Yu's lawyer, and Cao Yun visited Ma Yu as soon as possible.
"I did commit perjury, but I would continue to perjury even if I knew it would be exposed. Ma Yu and Cao Yun talked privately and said very frankly: "Friends and classmates for more than 20 years, if I don't even have the courage to go to prison for him, how can I still have the face to call myself the other party's best friend?"
Cao Yun asked, "You mean that your actions are right in your personal opinion, and the law that punishes you is unjust?"
Ma Yu thought for a while and said, "You can't say that, it should be said that the law is the rule, and I should be punished for violating the rules." ”
Cao Yun said: "Your father came to me in the hope that I could help you get rid of your guilt." I don't know much about you, and I sincerely hope that you will be honest with me. Are you willing to get away with your guilt, or are you willing to take responsibility for your guilt with integrity?"
Ma Yu smiled: "I'm not stupid, I just said that I was willing to help Wang Shao commit perjury." It would be best if you didn't go to jail. ”
Cao Yun said: "You are willing to fully cooperate with me, and I am only fifty percent sure that the case will be overturned." Cooperation means that Zhao Shao has to suffer some grievances. It won't increase his sentence, how to say it...... I mean to tell a lie, this lie is helpful to Lin Shao, not to Zhao Shao, Zhao Shao can expose this lie. I have two questions that I need answers. The first question: Are you willing? The second question: Will Zhao Shao expose you?"
Ma Yu asked rhetorically, "What do you mean?"
Cao Yun said: "It means that this lie is likely to exonerate you and Lin Shao, but it can't help Zhao Shao." You know, human nature is kind, if Zhao Shao is kind by nature, in order to maintain the law and order, will he expose this lie?" However, the former is full of positive energy and strongly pushed.
For example, two thieves robbed, one thief was caught, and the other thief took the money and ran away. At this time, I asked, will the arrested thief help the police catch the thief who escaped? Assuming no, a thief will be imprisoned for 10 or even 20 years. His accomplices can squander the money they have stolen, and may even pay off the prison villains to kill the thief in order to protect themselves. Assuming that it will, there is nothing to say, at least Cao Yun can understand that it is normal logic.
Cao Yun said: "Ma Shao, you still answer my first question first, are you willing to get rid of the crime alone or with Lin Shao?"
"You're testing our friendship. ”
Cao Yun said: "According to my understanding, before marriage, many people are indeed singing and crying for friendship and righteousness. But men who are married and have children seem to be disqualified from talking about righteousness. You have two children, your wife is very good, you are her heaven, her earth, and her spiritual support. ”
Cao Yun: "The current situation of society is like this, I want to shout, I want to make a voice, but ...... I have a family, and I don't dare. As a joke on the Internet, as a boss, you can treat middle-aged people like dogs, because they have mortgages, children, and wives, and they dare not lose their jobs. On the contrary, as a boss, you must be polite and polite to young people, because they can go when they say they can go, and even if they can't find a new job, his parents can keep him fed and clothed for a certain period of time. ”
Cao Yun: "Facing the reality and acknowledging the reality, I don't think there's anything wrong. ”
Ma Yu looked at Cao Yun: "That's why you arranged for my wife and children to visit the prison first?"
Cao Yun nodded: "As a lawyer, I don't care what friendship there is between you, I only care if you can fully cooperate with me and let me win this lawsuit." In order to win, my bottom line is very low, and if you don't agree, I will ask Mr. Ma to come and see you. ”
Cao Yun: "It's not unjust. If the three of you are really righteous, you should know that one person in prison is better than three people in prison, at least the brother who is not in prison can also take care of the wife and children of the brother in prison. ”
Ma Yu said after a long time: "OK, I promise you, I will cooperate with you completely and unconditionally." ”
Cao Yun asked: "Then please answer the second question, is it possible for Zhao Shao to expose the lies that can get you out?"
Ma Yu hesitated a little, and finally replied positively: "I don't rule out this possibility." ”
Cao Yun said: "So there is a third question, can I beat him down?"
"What do you mean by slapping down?"
Cao Yun said: "It's to turn him into a villain, so that he is not qualified to expose lies." Strictly speaking, you are tantamount to turning your face with him. ”
Ma Yu lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and said after a long time: "Three years in prison is really not much, I am righteous and helped my friend commit perjury and go to prison, I don't regret it." In order for myself to get away with my crimes, I stepped on my friends ashore without righteousness......"
Cao Yun interrupted: "No, it's completely different. If Zhao Shao doesn't say anything, you are still brothers. Zhao Shao must turn his face and pull you into the water in front of me, so I will make a fuss about his character. He doesn't think you're a friend anymore, so why should you treat him as a friend? You don't have to worry about the reaction of people in the circle, if you don't go to jail, he will go to jail, and the merits are not up to you? What's more, you are already reasonable. When your friends were about to frame you, did you disregard your status as a father and husband and try to fulfill your friends who wanted to drag you to hell with you?"
Ma Yu shook his head with a smile and looked at Cao Yun: "You are very good at persuading, after you explained, I found that if I don't agree, I am an idiot." ”
Cao Yun smiled: "I hope to convince the judge as well." ”
......
Preliminary:
Lin Shao's lawyer is an old lawyer, a close friend of Lin Shao's father and a subordinate for 30 years. He only works for Lin Shao's father, and he is not a well-known lawyer, but it cannot be said that he is not a good lawyer. During the pre-trial, lawyer Lin Shao was questioned first, although he did not get the information, but read some information from Cao Yun's slight hints, so he said that he was old and still looking for documents, in order to save others' time, others answered first. After all, three people are charged with the same crime.
Cao Yunshun was the first to answer: "Your Excellency, on behalf of my client Ma Yu, I deny the accusation of perjury. I believe that the prosecution misinterpreted our confession. ”
The pre-trial does not defend or defend in court, but only explains the point of view.
Lin Shao's old lawyer had planned to admit guilt, but admitting guilt during the pretrial would effectively save judicial resources and would usually be the basis for a lighter sentence. After all, perjury has one to three years of flexibility.
Cao Yun doesn't care if Lin Shao pleads guilty or not, he will fight alone if he pleads guilty, and not admitting guilt will not help him much, just taking his own free ride. Of course, it is best not to admit guilt, at least his client Ma Yu can still have a brother to support him.
So the old lawyer pretended to be looking for materials again, considering that he was an elderly man in his sixties, and the judge looked at Zhao Shao's lawyer, a senior lawyer at Galaxy Law Firm: Bai Chuan. Shirakawa is a typical lawyer, in his forties, he has won all the lawsuits that should be won, all the lawsuits that should be lost, and the winning rate of the lawsuits that can be won and lost is barely more than half, and stability is a word.
Bai Chuan said: "On behalf of my client, Zhao, I plead guilty to the prosecution's charges. ”
Lawyer Lin Shaolao said: "On behalf of my client Lin, I deny the prosecution's charges. He still bet on Cao Yun, and most importantly, he found that Cao Yun looked at him many times, but not once.
The judge will be notified in writing of the announcement of the court time. It also explained that during the trial, Major General Zhao attended as a witness and was not allowed to have any argument favorable to the prosecution's accusation, otherwise he would be deemed not guilty. This kind of behavior of admitting guilt first and then not admitting guilt will increase Zhao Shao's punishment.
......
Logically speaking, the four young cases should not have the public's attention, after all, the people do not know the so-called four young people at all. According to the law of eighty-two, there are 8 million people in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and the number of rich people is 160,000, even if each rich man has only one child, there are 160,000 rich second generations, and the base is very large.
For example, it is usually said that traveling abroad, not talking about the law of eighty-two, just say that the extremely rich 2%, and the extremely rich population of Gaoyan will reach about 28 million. There are 56 million of 28 million people who travel abroad even if they only travel twice a year. Because of this, many people think that Gao Yan people are rich and rich, but this is not true. To be precise, 2% or 20% of people are rich.
Si Shao is not well-known among the rich second generation, and is only more prestigious in the circle of the struggling rich second generation. There should have been no media attention, but Wang Shao is a rich second generation, and he has a sharp wall, which belongs to social news. Even the three who committed perjury have a certain newsworthiness.
However, it should be requested that the trial of this case be closed to public, and most of the people who can sit on the hearing table are people in the circle.
Cao Yun's opponent is a rookie at first glance, and his resume speaks for itself. His name is Wang Lei, and he is a graduate student majoring in justice. He only became a prosecutor at the end of last year, a subordinate of Sima Luo three months ago, and a prosecutor who handled cases independently a month ago. In Wang Lei's view, the opponent is also relatively average. Cao Yun is very young, the old lawyer has no outstanding cases, and Bai Chuan has already pleaded guilty on behalf of Zhao.
Before appearing in court, Sima Luo specially called to inquire, and when he learned that Cao Yun was Ma Yu's defender, Sima Luo didn't speak for a long time, and finally said: It's good to do it yourself. Sima Luo hung up the phone, not knowing whether he should be glad that he didn't appear in court, or hope that he could fight Cao Yun.
First of all, the chief prosecutor read the crimes of the three people, explained the charges against them, explained their attitudes, and hoped that the judge would severely punish or take into account some of the defendant's mitigating behaviors when punishing them. As Zhao's defense lawyer, Bai Chuan plans to explain the reason for Zhao's perjury from the perspective of friendship when he finally closes the case, hoping that the judge will be more considerate.
In this case, the three defendants appeared in court together.
After the trial argument began, Cao Yun opened fire with all his power, and the goal was to win allies.
Cao Yun asked Lin Shao first: "Do you know the victim Xue?"
Lin Shao replied: "First meeting." ”
Cao Yun asked again: "Do you know how much Xue drinks?"
Lin Shao replied: "I rarely drink alcohol myself, so I can't judge the amount of alcohol Xue has. ”
Cao Yun nodded and asked Ma Yu, Ma Yu's answer was the same, except for Wang Shao is shareholder, the three of them and Xue Mou met for the first time. Sanshao usually doesn't go to parties and rarely drinks.
Cao Yun signaled, and Yun Yin played a video as an assistant, and the video was a video of the patrol police testifying.
Cao Yun asked Ma Yu, "Did you answer like that at that time?"
Ma Yu nodded: "Yes, I told the patrol police at the time that Xue was drunk, and Wang Shao helped Xue leave." ”
Cao Yun asked, "How do you know that Xue is drunk?"
Ma Yu replied: "She rarely interjected at first, and she kept interrupting our chat when she was drunk. I think I should be drunk. ”
Cao Yun asked, "What do you think is the standard for drunkenness?"
Ma Yu: "......"
Cao Yun: "For example, a person speaks with a big tongue, one person spits four times, one person cries and laughs, rolls on the ground, and one person falls asleep on the table. Excuse me, who of the above four people is drunk? In your opinion, who do you think is the most drunk?"
Ma Yu replied: "If you fall asleep, you are drunk, and it should be the most serious." I vomited a few times, and it was severe. Crying, laughing and rolling, relatively light, but it should also be very drunk, the tongue is a little big, it should be drunk, but at least the speech can be controlled. ”
Cao Yun was not in a hurry, he asked Lin Shao the same question, Lin Shao's order was similar to Ma Yu, but he thought that vomiting was the most serious.
Cao Yun asked the two of them the same question: "Which behavior did Xue meet that day?" ”
The two had the same answer: "I talked a lot, vomited twice, leaned on Wang Shao and fell asleep, Wang Shao put his coat on Xue, saying that the girl was drunk and couldn't blow the wind, so he sent Xue back first." ”
Cao Yun looked at the judge and said: "Drunk, not drunk, Wang Shao himself admitted that he was drunk in Xue, and there was no resistance to Xue Mou. What I'm going to say today is that my client, Ma Yu, doesn't know what getting drunk is. First of all, falling asleep does not mean getting drunk, more tired, drinking a few glasses of wine, sleepiness will come up, this situation is a lot, people are uncomfortable, but it is still far from not waking up. ”
"The second is to vomit, NO...... Spitting and getting drunk are two things that have nothing to do with each other at all. They drank beer that day, and I think everyone here had beer, and there was no shortage of people working hard at the table. Everyone knows a truth, drinking beer, vomiting is not drunk, after vomiting, you can drink more. Of course, although he was conscious, he vomited and drank again, which hurt his body very much. ”
Prosecutor Wang Lei asked: "Defendant lawyer, what do you want to say?"
Cao Yun said: "What I want to say is that the patrol officer is telling the truth, and my client did say that Xue was drunk." In other words, in Ma Yu's opinion, Xue was indeed drunk because she was asleep. Ma Yu didn't lie about this. Go to the police station to make a record, Ma Yu, why do you say that Xue is not drunk?"
