Chapter 129: Trial
At the end of May, the outer perimeter of the Zhucheng Intermediate People's Court was full of people, most of whom were Zhucheng residents and journalists who had traveled from afar. Shan Zhe sat in a wheelchair under the gaze of everyone and was pushed by Shan Ying into the first criminal trial court.
Pushing Shan Zhe to the plaintiff's seat, Shan Ying turned around and sat in the auditorium not far behind him, and Shan Zhe's family and the Lin family were all sitting together.
Not far away, Zhao Duchun and his defense lawyer stood in the dock, and behind them sat Zhao Jianmin and others.
"Are you nervous?" asked Shan Zhe's attorney ad litem with a smile.
His name is Chen Yi, the head of the legal department of Philosophy Technology, and Shan Zhe is not very clear when he entered the company, after all, Liu Niansheng is responsible for the recruitment.
Shan Zhe looked at him and smiled: "Why are you nervous? Intentionally killing people in broad daylight and in full view of everyone, I believe that the judge will give me justice." ”
"Quiet!"
The presiding judge picked up the small hammer and struck it gently, and the entire courtroom instantly fell silent.
"It is extremely demanding to ask the plaintiff's agent to state the facts and reasons. ”
Chen Yi walked to the center of the courtroom and said to the presiding judge and the others: "At about 10:10 a.m. on May 17, 2002, the plaintiff and the defendant met at the south gate of the Glorious Garden, and then chatted. However, after a few words, the defendant threw the plaintiff to the ground, and then combined his fists and kicks to rupture his left eardrum and fracture his left arm. You know, at that time, the plaintiff had no ability to resist, and the distance of nearly 500 meters back and forth did not make the defendant give up the idea of murdering the plaintiff..."
Chen Yi told the presiding judge and the audience about the facts, and the audience couldn't help but clench their fists a little when they heard the words "the assailant turned around and came back again, and the distance of nearly 500 meters did not calm down" and "the plaintiff's life and death are on the line, thanks to a 12-year-old girl who donated blood to hang his life", and then looked at Zhao Duchun in the defendant's seat.
"As the plaintiff's agent, I would like to make a few requests from the plaintiff: first, we do not accept any compensation from the defendant; second, we; third, we hope that the bad guys can be brought to justice and get the punishment they deserve!"
"Bring the bad guys to justice!"
"Bring the bad guys to justice..."
The audience in the auditorium waved their fists and repeated Chen Yi's words in unison.
"Quiet!"
When the crowd quieted down, the presiding judge looked at Zhao Duchun again: "Defendant, please tell me the facts and reasons." ”
Zhao Duchun's defense lawyer glanced at Zhao Duchun, Shi Shiran walked to where Chen Yi was before, and said loudly: "What happened, it is indeed as stated by the plaintiff before, the plaintiff and the defendant met in the Glorious Garden, and then there was friction, and then the defendant beat the plaintiff. ”
"Since he has admitted it, let's sentence it directly!"
"That's it, just let him squat!"
There was another commotion from the crowd below, and the presiding judge had to bang the gavel in his hand again: "Quiet!"
"But," the defendant's defense lawyer smiled at the audience and continued: "The only thing that is inconsistent with the facts is that it was not the defendant who drove into the plaintiff, but the little attendant next to the defendant, the man named Zheng Sanjin." If you don't believe it, you can ask the judge to bring Zheng Sanjin to the court for questioning in person. ”
The presiding judge looked at the plaintiff's side and saw that Shan Zhe did not refuse, so he said, "Take Zheng Sanjin to court." ”
While waiting for Zheng Sanjin to appear in court, neither Shan Zhe nor Zhao Duchun's agents spoke, but just looked at each other with deep meaning.
Shan Zhe was bored in a wheelchair and yawned: when others were in a lawsuit, the plaintiff and the defendant's attorney were a lotus-talker and a war of words.
Gently kicked Chen Yi with his right leg to signal him to be serious, and Shan Zhe continued
Doze off with your right hand on your head.
About ten minutes later, Zheng Sanjin was brought to court. Under the implicit smiles of Shan Zhe and Zhao Duchun, they walked to the court.
The presiding judge glanced at Zheng Sanjin and said to the defendant's defender: "Defendant's defender, please repeat what you said before." ”
The defendant's defender came to Zheng Sanjin and stood beside him, looked at him and said, "Zheng Sanjin, at 10 o'clock in the morning on May 17, did you drive with the defendant to the Zhucheng Glorious Garden and meet the plaintiff?"
Zheng Sanjin turned his head slightly and glanced at Shan Zhe, but what caught his eye was still that calm smile, and he hurriedly bowed his head and replied, "Yes." ”
"Which of you drove the car that day?"
"I drove it. ”
"Did you know you would meet the plaintiff in the Garden of Glory before you went that day?"
"I know that the reason why we went to the Glorious Garden was because Shan Zhe came to our place the day before and asked us to meet at the Glorious Garden at ten o'clock in the morning the next day. ”
"Why did he ask you to meet in the Garden of Glory?"
"Because he wants us to get out of Pearl City. ”
"Why does he want you to leave Pearl City?"
Zheng Sanjin was silent and did not choose to answer this question, because he couldn't tell the real reason, otherwise public opinion in society would be more biased towards Shan Zhe's side.
Seeing that he did not speak, the defendant's defender continued: "Then another question, did the defendant tell you that he wanted to murder the plaintiff on the road in the past?"
"No, Zhao Duchun just told me to teach him a lesson when the time comes, and didn't say that he would kill him. ”
"Then why did you hit him with a car?!"
"It was an accident!" Zheng Sanjin hurriedly shouted, "I didn't hit him on purpose." Zhao Duchun asked me to park, and I turned the car around and parked on the side of the road, because Zhao Duchun said that I would go back soon, so I didn't turn off the car. But sitting alone in the car is too boring, I want to smoke a cigarette to relieve fatigue, who knows that I accidentally dropped the cigarette into the car, I bent down to pick it up and accidentally touched the gear, which caused the car to start and hit Shan Zhe, I really didn't mean it!"
Zheng Sanjin grabbed the defender's sleeve and kept explaining, but the defender just pulled his hand off his arm, turned to the presiding judge and said: "Your Excellency, the truth has become clear, it was Zheng Sanjin who accidentally injured the plaintiff, not the defendant's deliberate murder as the plaintiff said." Then I want to ask, why did the plaintiff frame the defendant for intentional homicide?"
Everyone was silent, and Zhao Duchun looked at Shan Zhe proudly, thinking to himself: What if I want to kill you?
Presiding Judge: "What is the plaintiff's explanation of the questions raised by the defendant?"
Chen Yi stepped forward and came to Zheng Sanjin's side, and said softly: "I heard the plaintiff say that you stopped the defendant before he drove the murder, yes or no?"
"No, I hit the person, and it has nothing to do with Zhao Duchun!"
"Can you take responsibility for what you say?"
"I..." Zheng Sanjin looked back at Zhao Jianmin's position, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"
"Your Excellency, I just remembered one thing, one of our plaintiff's witnesses is sitting in the gallery, can you let him present the evidence in his hand to everyone?"
"Yes. ”
Chen Yi turned around and beckoned to a man with glasses in the fourth row of the auditorium.
The man with glasses came to Chen Yi's side, took out a document bag from the backpack he was carrying, opened it and said: "My name is Wang Cheng, I am a travel photographer, I came to Zhucheng four days ago, I wanted to take pictures of the cultural scenery of Zhucheng and Longhu Lake the next day, but when I passed by the Guangcai Garden, I encountered friction between the plaintiff and the defendant, so I took it with my camera, and the photos are all in this document bag, and I also asked the judge to take a look." ”
Chen Yi handed the photo to the presiding judge, and after several judges looked at them one by one, they knocked the small wooden mallet
, shouted at Zheng Sanjin: "Zheng Sanjin, why do you want to shield the defendant and slander the plaintiff?"
"I don't, what I said is true, Your Honor. ”
The presiding judge said, "Show them the evidence!"
Chen Yi patted Zheng Sanjin on the shoulder and said in a low voice: "When Zhao Duchun's brute was about to hit our boss, you pulled it, although it didn't change the result in the end, but our boss missed you, so he gave you a chance to make meritorious contributions, but unfortunately you didn't seize it." ”
After speaking, Chen Yi stepped forward and showed the photo to Zhao Duchun and Zheng Sanjin, and after reading it, the two of them collapsed instantly. More than 50 photos almost record Zhao Duchun's movements from hitting Shan Zhe to hitting Shan Zhe, and there are even photos of Zhao Duchun pressing Zheng Sanjin under him to find the key.
"Is there anything else the defendant needs to explain?"
What else can you say? Two of the three defendants collapsed directly to the ground, and the only defender who was standing was also a little sluggish for a while: he couldn't be saved, and he never thought that all the experiences of Zhao Duchun's crimes had been recorded by others, and it was really ridiculous that this fool was still full of confidence in finding someone to blame.
"No more. The defendant's defender said slowly. I don't know how many people will throw rotten eggs when I get out,
The verdict was pronounced after a 20-minute adjournment. The judge said a few words and left the courtroom with the other jurors.
After the jury left, Shan Zhe asked Chen Yi to push himself to Zheng Sanjin and said, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't catch it, I'm sorry." ”
After that, without waiting for him to say anything more, Shan Zhe came to Zhao Duchun again: "I estimate that you will not be able to get out of the palace this time, so you can transform yourself in it, strive to die early, and don't be reincarnated as a person in the next life." ”
In the end, Shan Zhe came to Zhao Jianmin again and gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Zhao, to be honest, why do people like you live in the world? Originally, it was your son who did the wrong thing, you only need to let him take responsibility alone, why do you have to let others take the blame for him? Let an innocent person bear the unjustified disaster brought by your son? Is it that in your eyes, only your son is a son, and other people's sons are shit?"
After speaking, Shan Zhe pushed the wheelchair to the center of the courtroom, pointed at Zhao Duchun and shouted to the audience: "See, if there are such people around you, please stay away from them, because this kind of person is easy to be struck by lightning! Even if you are struck by lightning, they will lead you to lightning, and then you will be killed by lightning for no reason, are you wronged?"
"Injustice!"
"Quiet!" The police officers who maintained order saw that the mood of the crowd was a little high, and hurriedly calmed down.
Twenty minutes later, the presiding judge and his group walked out of the door, returned to the original position and stood up, spread a piece of paper on the table, and saw the presiding judge knock on the small gavel: "Now the verdict is pronounced:
Appellant Shan Zhe, male, 1983...
Defendant Zhao Duchun is now sentenced to life imprisonment and deprived of his political rights for life for the crimes of harboring, intentionally injuring others, and intentional homicide; defendant Zheng Sanjin, knowing the facts, still harbored criminals and committed the crime of harboring, and the circumstances are serious, and he is hereby sentenced to seven years imprisonment and deprived of his political rights for life!
This judgment is final!"
……
"Did you say that the judge forgot to ask Zhao Duchun to pay me money? After all, he almost killed me. As soon as he got out of the court, Shan Zhe couldn't help but ask Chen Yi.
"He has been sentenced to life, even if he is sentenced to lose money, who will give it to you?"
"Yes. Shan Zhe nodded, and then saw that Zhao Jianmin was about to get in the car and leave on the side of the road in front of him, and Shan Zhe hurriedly asked Chen Yi to push himself to catch up.
When he came to Zhao Jianmin's side, Shan Zhe sighed twice and said: "Mr. Zhao, you have to be happy and live well, maybe your son will behave well in it, and he will come out in twenty or thirty years, and he will be able to send you to the end when the time comes, right?"
Zhao Jianmin ignored Shan Zhe, just glanced at him and got into the car, leaving Zhucheng.
