Chapter 182: Fighting for a City, Losing a Country
He had repeatedly and recklessly demonstrated to Wang Yingying and himself before, all in order to confuse himself and make him think that he was just impulsive, and rashly prosecuted without direct evidence.
In fact, Zhang Ruiming has long been familiar with Liao Cai's intelligence network, and knows that Liao Cai will think that he does not have a key chain of evidence, so he deliberately "shows the enemy weak", in order to launch an "evidence raid" now, which can achieve a surprising victory.
One thing is for sure, the Tianjin Pharmaceutical Chemical Industry represented by Liao Cai has now been forced into a desperate situation by the prosecution.
After all, the defender Liao Cai is extremely capable, and immediately responded: "Oppose! The prosecution has overdue the time limit for presenting evidence, and this evidence cannot be used, and it is invalid evidence!"
However, in response to Liao Cai's strong protest, Zuo Ning only frowned, glanced at the list of evidence handed over by Xie Qisheng, and asked the prosecution: "Why didn't you submit it before?"
"Report to the collegial panel, because both of these pieces of evidence were only available yesterday, you can see the date of this inspection and identification. ”
Liao Cai now has no time to think about how the prosecutor obtained this sample of the waste liquid from the mother tank of Tianjin Pharmaceutical Chemical, so she can only focus on the dilemma in front of her, and she has instantly prepared several coping strategies in her heart: first see if there is any problem with the prosecutor's evidence collection procedures, and then see if there is a relevant search warrant......
Wu Kaiming, a high-minded apprentice, suddenly deduced a few steps in his heart...... First find a way to knock out this evidence, even if it really can't be knocked out, this inspection and identification report is only for the mother tank wastewater sample in the Tianjin Pharmaceutical and Chemical Workshop, just a separate evidence, even if it is together with the previous report of the citrus forest, it can prove that there is an illegal act of dumping, but as long as the specific water pollution situation is not announced, there is still a chance to turn around......
For now, let's try to prevent the collegial panel from adopting it.
Liao Cai is still diligently raising objections to the trial court, "both of which have exceeded ...... evidence"
Zuo Ning, who was on the trial seat, waved his hand impatiently, signaling the defense not to speak, Zuo Ning discussed with the jurors, and then glanced at the video evidence in it, "...... What about this?"
After a long period of screening, it was finally determined that one of the unlicensed hazardous chemical tank trucks was driven by Li Yongjian to carry the vehicle of glyphosate mother liquor, which recorded the video data of its entry and exit from Tianjin Pharmaceutical and Chemical Industry. ”
When Xie Qisheng submitted the disc with the surveillance video to the collegial panel, Liao Cai's eyes were about to burst into flames.
Didn't Wang Yingying say that every time Li Yongjian came to load wastewater, he drove a car with no license plate? Didn't he leave video evidence? Why was it turned over again?
Liao Cai is going crazy, why is so much key evidence suddenly popping up now? She was helpless, so she could only quickly find a way to deal with it, and she could only hope that this video was not clear enough, authentic and relevant enough, and she could only see the trick when the time came......
But no matter what, the most troublesome thing is this video evidence, especially the video evidence that reminds the scene of the illegal process, which is basically direct evidence, if it is admitted, then the whole situation has completely fallen to the prosecution before the cross-examination.
Such a key piece of direct evidence, even if it is overdue, even if it is an obvious "sneak attack", the collegial panel will generally still accept it, not to mention that it is still submitted by the prosecution.
Liao Cai's ominous premonition became more and more obvious, and sure enough, Zuo Ning announced loudly at this time: "The opposition is invalid, this evidence has the three characteristics of evidence - authenticity, legitimacy, and relevance." It is related to the case, true and legal, and can be admissible as evidence. ”
Hearing that the collegial panel decided to accept this inspection report and video evidence out of consideration for the importance of this evidence, Zhang Ruiming was inexplicably excited, and involuntarily waved a punch under the table.
And Liao Cai saw that his objection to the prosecution's late presentation of evidence was rejected, so he could only watch the prosecution's big attack at the moment.
There is no way, in this situation of defeat, Liao Cai can only temporarily withdraw the troops, she shouted to the collegial court: "Because the prosecution violated the rules and presented new evidence, we now apply for an adjournment to prepare to refute the new evidence!"
"I agree with the defense lawyer, and the trial is adjourned!"
As the gavel was knocked down heavily, Zhang Ruiming even felt that Zuo Ning's hammer sounded good, looking at Liao Cai, who was collecting information with a disgraced face in front of him, Zhang Ruiming took the initiative to walk over.
Zhang Ruiming showed a smile on his face and greeted, "Senior sister, this is the first time we have met in ten years, right?"
Liao Cai said coldly: "Don't be complacent, if I lose today, I will also lose in the hands of the so-called "righteous gentleman" Xie Section Chief of your city procuratorate, don't think that you have bargained for anything, besides, this lawsuit is not over yet, I don't know if I can see it in the next trial." ”
Zhang Ruiming didn't distinguish the meaning of Liao Cai's words, he thought that his junior sister was just simply angry, and stretched out his right hand to this junior sister with a smile.
Liao Cai just glanced at Zhang Ruiming coldly, she picked up Louis Vuitton's limited edition handbag, and didn't even look at Zhang Ruiming's right hand hanging in the air, embarrassed.
"Have you ever seen anyone shake hands with a prisoner?"
After speaking, Liao Cai led his assistant to stride over, leaving Zhang Ruiming standing in place.
…………
On the way back to the city procuratorate, Zhang Ruiming and Xie Qisheng were still analyzing the gains and losses of today's court trial, and made a brief analysis meeting.
And the "evidence raid" directly disrupted the defense litigation strategy, after all, according to the previous situation, Wang Yingying and Liao Cai still dared to defend their innocence. But now the prosecutor directly showed two hole cards and gave Tianjin Pharmaceutical Chemical a hard blow, for them, the safest plan now should be to admit guilt, and then strive for leniency from the judicial organs. It is estimated that Liao Cai still regrets that he underestimated the prosecution, looking at the current situation, it is likely that in the next trial, the defense will change the litigation demands.
Seeing that the first trial won a big victory, Zhang Ruiming was in a much better mood, and his hard work in the past few months finally had a good result, and he did not pay such a big price in vain.
It was already six o'clock in the afternoon after the court ended, and Xie Qisheng asked, "Ruiming, where are you going back, and where are you going?"
The pain in Zhang Ruiming's heart came up all of a sudden, but he couldn't say that his wife had separated from him, and his father would not come back.
He could only smile bitterly and said: "I'm fine, let's go to the hospital first, if the strict inspection and land inspection are still there, we will also report on today's situation, see what the attitude is above, what the reaction is in terms of public opinion, and whether there is anything to follow up." ”
Hearing the mention of public opinion, Zhang Liang suddenly remembered the strangeness of today's court session, and asked: "Why didn't anyone come to listen today, I originally thought that a case with such a big impact would be a scene of thousands of empty alleys......
"So you're packing up so beautifully today, ready to be on the news?"
Zhang Liang glanced at Zhang Ruiming, "...... No, I'm thinking about what kind of method did their Taisho firm use to suppress public opinion, and I have now looked at the relevant news on the Internet, and I can hardly find relevant reports, about today's trial, there is no report at all. ”
Zhang Ruiming also turned on his mobile phone, he searched around, and indeed did not find any information about the Jingsha River pollution case, directly looking for the news of today's trial, no, not even the previous news about this case, you must click on the China Trial Open Network, enter the specific court time, specific trial court, in order to find the live video of today's case.
"What's going on? Why is there no news at all, and it is estimated that few citizens know that the water pollution case is being tried today, so it is no wonder that no one from the auditorium has come. If there are more people observing today, there will be more news covering this trial, plus our performance today. Then the case is completely ironclad. ”
Zhang Ruiming and Zhang Liang both sighed at this time that the Taizheng Law Firm had great powers, and it was really sad that they had suppressed such a big case, which affected the trend of public opinion, and failed to give full play to the advantages of the prosecutor's trial today.
"I think ah......"
At this time, Xie Qisheng, who had been silent next to him, opened his mouth, he was the oldest among these people, and his personality was the most stable, and he was always straight to the point when he opened his mouth, Zhang Ruiming and Zhang Liang both listened to his opinions quietly at this time.
“…… No matter how powerful a law firm is, it can't influence public opinion to this extent, even the Tianjin and Hong Kong Lawyers Association and the Bureau of Justice can't do such a large-scale silence, so it is obvious that it is the Taizheng Law Firm that has done tricks and feet at the top of the top, taking advantage of the psychology of some leaders to beware of the expansion of the situation and causing a crisis of public opinion, and borrowing a knife to ...... the relevant news."
After Xie Qisheng finished speaking, he pushed a news he had just finished reading on his mobile phone to Zhang Ruiming and Zhang Liang. I saw that the headline of this news was very grand - "Contrary to the spirit of the central government! Tianjin and Hong Kong prosecutors sue private enterprises on environmental issues"
Starting from various economic data, the Jingsha River pollution case is a conspiracy explanation, questioning the Jingang Municipal Procuratorate to file such a criminal lawsuit at the IPO of Tianjin Pharmaceutical and Chemical Industry, and interpreting a case of safeguarding the people's public welfare as a malicious suppression and legal blackmail against the famous entrepreneur Wang Yingying.
After reading Zhang Ruiming and Zhang Liang, they suddenly realized Liao Cai's public opinion tactics, this girl is worthy of being a master of civil and commercial affairs, such a criminal case can actually be pulled to the economic trend, first use the high-level worries about the storm of public opinion, suppress the expansion of public opinion, Dazheng Law Firm This is "four or two thousand pounds", the most critical part can ask someone to help them do it. Liao Cai only needs to invite some biased news media to come over, and use the Spring and Autumn brushwork to divert the focus of public opinion and shift it to the purpose of the city inspection, insinuating that this case is just to bring down Tianjin Pharmaceutical and Chemical Industry.
Even make the headline a little bigger, just like this news, and directly link the current economic downturn with the general bankruptcy of private enterprises, and then link it with this case, this is the perfect external public opinion! As long as the momentum is created, then this case will not be a simple environmental pollution case, but will evolve into a sensitive dispute between state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, and even let conspiracy theory lovers question the role played by the city procuratorate in this case, start from the periphery, and lead the rat to throw a trap, then the outcome of this case will not be known!
As Xie Qisheng said, their Dazheng Law Firm only needs to take advantage of the situation and spend a little effort to win the public opinion war.
"Yin!
Zhang Ruiming couldn't help but burst into a foul language, thinking about it this way, in the current sensitive situation, the development of this case is really unclear, and the little good mood that was hard to come after the previous trial has disappeared at this moment.
"Then what should we do......" Zhang Liang rarely thought so far and so deeply, and after analyzing it, she found that a little advantage in the court really did not necessarily offset the overall disadvantage, which made the little girl worry.
Zhang Ruiming could only comfort Zhang Liang and said: "It's okay, let's do our duty and try our best to win the trial. As long as we bite Tianjin Pharmaceutical and Chemical to death in the trial, I believe that the Intermediate People's Court will not dare to sentence too much, it is estimated that in the end, it should still be sentenced for the crime of polluting the environment, and several main offenders are estimated to be sentenced to three to five years, and if they are a few points, it is estimated that they will be suspended?"
Xie Qisheng: "Well, I estimate that it is about the same, but now we have insufficient evidence, especially the appraisal report on the results of this damage, if we can't get it for half a day, even the definition of this "serious consequence" will be troublesome, and it will also affect the integrity of the evidence chain." ”
Zhang Liang also knows the importance of this last inspection and appraisal, "It's a pity, the appraisal center is not willing to come up with this water quality result even if it is killed, and I have asked it several times, and I always say, "It's still doing, it's still doing", will this appraisal take so long?"
Xie Qisheng shook his head: "There are some things, it's not whether you can or not, but whether you want to, after all, this appraisal has too much impact, and it is estimated that someone has put pressure on ......"
Hearing this, everyone's hearts were clear, and they immediately stopped speaking.
In this way, the atmosphere was depressed and arrived at the municipal procuratorate compound, Zhang Ruiming and Xie Qisheng got out of the car and walked upstairs to the deputy procurator general's office, after all, it was a big case in court, and they had just come back, so they still had to report the situation to the leaders in charge.
Yan Lu is a veteran deputy procurator general, and he has always been very tough in his words and deeds, and his requirements are quite strict, especially in terms of discipline, which is simply unreasonable. Some details are simply deducted to the point of nitpicking, once all the offices have been checked, once found in the office area there are books, snacks, flower pots and plants and other small things, must be reported to accountability, for a time, the Jingang City Procuratorate is a rumor, the trash can is full of snack books, the old man of the doorman is full of green plants that the inspectors do not want.
Zhang Ruiming also had a complaint about this: first-class leaders grasp the overall situation, second-rate leaders grasp business, and third-rate leaders grasp discipline.
But Lao Yan is a little good, he disciplines himself first, he has always been strict with himself, he is never late and leaves early, and often takes the initiative to work overtime, although he doesn't know what he is busy with, but at this time it is already past the end of work, Zhang Ruiming went to the door of his office, knocked on the door, and Lao Yan's hoarse voice came.
"Come in. ”
Zhang Ruiming and Xie Qisheng went in, and the two of them reported today's trial to Lao Yan directly, Lao Yan was born in an old inspection, but he had stayed in too many departments, and he had been away from practice for a long time, worried that he would not understand, Zhang Ruiming directly explained the situation in general, and the specific confrontation strategy was omitted.
After Yan Lu listened, he didn't say anything for a while, he suddenly got up and walked straight towards Zhang Ruiming, Zhang Ruiming has always been a little bit uneasy with him, at this time, seeing his tense expression, he didn't speak, at this moment, I thought he was coming over to smoke himself.
Could it be that he has offended Lao Yan again today?
was worried about it, only to find that Lao Yan walked behind Zhang Ruiming, turned on the water heater, and then opened an iron filing cabinet next to it, took out a pot of tea from it, and took out a little bit and put it in two paper cups.
What? Lao Yan actually wants to make tea for himself?
Zhang Ruiming couldn't believe his eyes, he and Lao Yan were old acquaintances, but it should be said that the road was narrow, the two had never looked at each other, of course, Zhang Ruiming was the most affected, after all, the leader and your aura did not deal with each other, so how did you mix in the unit?
In the past few years, Zhang Ruiming, not to mention the tea he made with Lao Yan himself, has not even seen his good face. So when Lao Yan personally made tea for the two, Zhang Ruiming was simply flattered.
Holding it in his hand, the temperature of this water is a little insufficient, and this tea is far from being as good as the authentic West Lake Longjing at home, but Zhang Ruiming feels that he is about to burst into tears.
It's not easy, Lao Yan actually recognizes himself......
Seeing the stunned looks of the two, Yan Lu sat back in his place, he seemed to be in a really good mood, turned on the mobile phone and fiddled with it, he seemed to be making up a very important message, took out his reading glasses from the desk, and tapped it on the mobile phone word by word with "one-finger Zen", and retreated several times in the middle, deleted the unsatisfactory part and re-typed, with an extremely cautious expression.
Zhang Ruiming and Xie Qisheng didn't know what he was doing, but seeing his grim expression, they waited quietly and didn't dare to make a sound.
After more than ten minutes, Yan Lu finally finished fiddling, turned to the two of them again, and said in an approachable tone that Zhang Ruiming had never heard from his mouth: "I was more worried about today's trial, after all, the other party is this Taizheng firm, and I heard that she is still a relatively powerful female lawyer, I am afraid that you will encounter any difficulties in the two sessions, listening to you say this, I am relieved, and I dare to report to the leader." ”
Who?
