Matsumoto cars are parked on the side of the road near the Dongjiao Bridge, which is the only land access road from the eastern suburbs to the Eastern Suburbs. At around five o'clock in the morning, the patrol found that someone had parked the car here, banged on the window and woke up Matsumoto in the passenger seat, asking for a driver's license and other documents. It was confirmed that Matsumoto was drinking, but there was no evidence that Matsumoto was drunk driving, and the patrol asked some questions.

Matsumoto said that he was drinking at the beach, and the patrol asked why the car drove four kilometers to the Dongjiao Bridge, and Matsumoto said that he did not know. The patrolman asked him to drink some water first and rest for a while, Matsumoto went to the trunk to get water, and with a scream, the patrolman saw the corpse in the well in the trunk.

The murder weapon turned out to be a baseball bat, which belonged to Matsumoto, a player on the local community baseball amateur team, and it was not surprising that it was on the car.

The second evidence, the body will show scars after ossification, there is a special bruise on the cheekbone of Inoue, after the police identification, it is the scar left by the gold ring worn by Matsumoto after hitting the cheekbone of Inoue, Matsumoto has an English name, and the big gold ring is engraved with T, and this mark is on the cheekbone of the deceased Inoue.

The third piece of evidence, Matsumoto's DNA was found in the cracks of Inoue's fingernails, and Matsumoto's left arm was scratched.

This evidence basically proves that the two men clashed.

Cao Yun asked, "Miss Gao, how did you receive this case?"

In Dongtang, criminal suspects are tried in court, and in one case, they or their families hire a lawyer, and in another case, the suspect refuses or cannot afford to hire a lawyer, then the court will delegate the right to defend to the listed law firm, and the court will be responsible for all the lawyer's fees. Most defense lawyers who are willing to be listed in the court usually do not make money, and a lawyer who does not make money is not a good lawyer in most cases. The ability of a lawyer is basically proportional to his or her income.

"After Mr. Matsumoto was arrested, his wife found me. She told me that she was willing to break the bank and win the case. ”

Cao Yun nodded, and continued to look down at Cao Yun to know why Gao Shan Law Firm collapsed. Gao Shan made one of the most basic mistakes in getting started as a lawyer. To defend a defendant in a criminal case, it is necessary to first determine a core of defense, for example, in this case, if the core of the defense is to injure someone while drunk, or if Inoue attacks Matsumoto first, it may be possible to reduce the sentence against Matsumoto. If the prosecutor and prosecution cannot prove who did it first, the court must take into account that the two were drunk and had a tear, and Inoue attacked Matsumoto first. Attacks are not only physical, but can also be verbal.

Although the charges will not change, the penalties may be appropriately reduced. To do so would be to skip the jury, whose role is to determine whether the charges are convicted. The offender pleads guilty and is sentenced to a number of years, that is the matter of the judge. (Tokyo started jury in '09, but only in the case of felony charges, there will be a jury.) ）

Secondly, in this case, a not-guilty defense can also be submitted, that is, not admitting that Matsumoto attacked and killed Inoue, and so far, the police have found mostly indirect evidence, such as although there is a ring mark, but it cannot be confirmed from Matsumoto's hand that it was Matsumoto himself who launched the attack, etc.

Gao Shan's entry-level mistake is that Gao Shan actually intends to use two defense cores. Judging from the manuscript, Gao Shan Xing will first put forward a not-guilty defense, and if there is no way to overturn the evidence, then make a misdemeanor defense.

I'm a mother!

However, on the whole, this case is indeed more difficult to fight, mainly because of Matsumoto himself, Matsumoto himself is not sure whether he has a conflict with Inoue, but it is precisely the lawyer's unprofessionalism that causes this dilemma. Assuming that the suspect is not sure whether he or she has committed a crime, the lawyer must defend himself on the premise that he did not commit the crime and convince the suspect that he did not commit the crime.

Whether the suspect is convicted or not is not up to the judge, but to the jury. In Matsumoto's state, if he is vague in court, he will definitely die.

Cao Yun himself does not like to accept commissions for criminal cases, and especially does not like to be a defense lawyer for the defendant. Because of Cao Yun's father as a police officer and his career in the police academy for more than a year, he has the basic qualities of an excellent police detective in all aspects, and he has been exposed to and heard of many criminal cases. I don't like to be a defense lawyer for the defendant because as a lawyer, even if you know that the defendant is guilty, you must do your best to win the lawsuit. At this time, they will be tortured by conscience and professional dilemma.

I don't like it, and it seems that Gao Shan Xing doesn't like to meddle myself. But it is clear that Matsumoto is not the murderer. In any case, this law firm itself has shares, and this year the law firm can no longer monopolize the death penalty of Dongtang.

The sky slowly darkened, and Gao Shan Xing was still concentrating on her work, typing hard, and seemed to be very professional. But a lawyer doing the job of a clerk represents a failure in itself.

Cao Yun turned on the light and took a can of energy drink and put it in front of Gao Shan Xing: "Is it a break to maintain a posture for a long time, which is easy to cause muscle fatigue." ”

Gao Shanxing: "Thank you...... However, many are in one position while sleeping. ”

"Makes sense. Cao Yun never argues and argues on topics that have no interests, not because of this that he became a lawyer, but after becoming a lawyer, Cao Yun knows that it is difficult for one person to convince another person, so there is a court and an arbitration institution.

Cao Yun took the file and thought for a while, and said: "Miss Gao, I have only been in the legal profession for a year and a half, and I have never been in contact with criminal cases. Could you please take a break and instruct me?"

The attitude is very good, humbly asking, although Gao Shan Xing is not very willing, but his hand still leaves the keyboard, stands up and picks up the drink on the table, makes a gesture, and the two of them go to the sofa and sit down. Gao Shan Xing asked, "What don't you understand?" ”

"The first thing I don't understand is why only one bottle was found on the beach, the scene of the first crime. According to Matsumoto's confession, he and Inoue each had a bottle of wine. ”

"There are so many reasons to explain this, such as throwing it into the sea. For example, on the way back to the city, he threw it out of the fence. It's also possible that Matsumoto was lying, but he was mistaken. ”

Cao Yun said: "Judging from the time when they drank and Matsumoto was arrested, it happened to be the time of high tide, and if they were thrown into the sea, the empty wine bottles could still be washed ashore, and besides, why didn't they throw two wine bottles into the sea and only one wine bottle? However, the place where they drank was fifteen meters from the highest tide. Suppose the car is thrown outside the quarantine zone in the middle of the car, this is evidence that can be collected, and the police must provide this evidence. And secondly, why did you throw the bottle? Stop? Or is there some other reason?"

Gao Shan Xing thought and said, "Then maybe Matsumoto remembered wrong, or did he lie on purpose?"

Although Matsumoto did not deny the killing, he did not admit to the killing, and he confessed that he did not seem to be sure whether he had a conflict with Inoue. Why would such a person lie about the details of the bottle? Most importantly, the police found only DNA from Inoue and fingerprints of Matsumoto and Matsumoto's wife in the empty bottle at the scene of the crime. It is also possible that Inoue ate Matsumoto's DNA, but a more logical statement would be that Matsumoto gave the wine to Inoue, but did not drink the bottle of Inoue's wine. ”

Gao Shan Xing didn't quite understand: "You seem to be very obsessed with inconsequential details." ”
