77. Court hearings
The court session was held the next day.
Zhang Wei sat in a familiar position again, and all the personnel also took their seats in turn.
The trial officially began.
First of all, the prosecution said a lot of evidence, and then began to call witnesses to attend.
The prosecution's prosecutor and witnesses, who were mostly police officers and forensic doctors, began to explain the evidence obtained from the scene and the autopsy by the forensic doctor, explaining the case from a technical perspective.
Zhang Wei listened to what they said motionlessly, and after they finished speaking, he nodded and said that he had no questions to ask the police officers.
Then the defendant Richard soon appeared on the cross-examination table as well.
He vehemently denied that he had killed someone, and said that he had slept in his office in the suburbs that night and had never gone out.
And he has no reason to kill his father-in-law, and it is completely thankless to do this kind of thing by himself.
When the prosecutor heard this, he stood up and said, "But as far as we know, not long ago, you and the victim had a big quarrel at the company's meeting because of the company's development problems.
And then for a long time, you didn't come home, did that happen?"
"Yes, but this kind of thing has happened a lot before, and I can only gamble at most, how can I kill someone. ”
Richard said helplessly, he originally denied it, but thinking about it, this matter has been found out, and it is useless to deny it, it will only increase his suspicion.
"Okay, I'm done with my question. ”
"Okay, then ask the defense lawyer to interrogate. ”
When Zhang Wei heard this, he stood up with a smile, "I want to ask the prosecution if you have considered such a situation."
My client has a habit of taking vitamin tablets every night for health reasons, and suppose someone deliberately takes advantage of this habit and replaces his vitamin tablets with sleeping pills.
In this way, he will be able to put on the same clothes and kill people while my client is asleep.
This would also explain why my client's phone rang so many times that night, but no one woke him. ”
"Defense lawyer, this is the courtroom, not the scene of Conan's reasoning, we pay attention to the evidence, not empty words, speculation.
The vitamin tablets you mentioned, we have examined, and we have not found any sleeping pills at all.
The defendant said that his clothes were lost in the taxi, but why did his clothes appear near the scene of the crime?
The clothes were stained with the victim's blood and the defendant's fingerprints, and we have indeed investigated, and the clothes are definitely the defendant's.
Moreover, as for the alibi mentioned by the defendant, we have found witnesses to prove that it is false, and it is just a lie that he made up in order to exonerate himself.
We request a witness to appear in court. ”
"Agreed. The judge nodded when he heard this.
Soon, Tina, the daughter of the deceased who is also the wife of the accused, walked up to the interrogation desk.
"May I ask Miss Li, did you see your husband on the overpass near your house that night? The prosecutor asked Tina, who was standing on the podium.
"Yes. Tina replied succinctly.
"How did he react when you met him?"
"That night I was on my way home and I passed him on the overpass, and I saw his clothes, looked back, and saw that it was him.
Then I called out to him, and he looked back at me and immediately ran away. ”
"When the defendant saw you, he ran away, right? And when you came home, you found that your father had died in the house. ”
"Yes. Tina looked grief-stricken, as if she was about to burst into tears.
Richard looked at his wife, who was sitting in front of him and lied without blinking, and wanted to rush up and beat him.
However, thinking about what the lawyer said before, I had to be calm in the courtroom, and I barely held back my anger, but I still stared at Tina.
"I'm done with my question. The prosecution nodded, indicating that there was no problem with him.
"Is there a problem with the defense lawyer?"
Zhang Wei nodded and said he had a question to ask.
"Yes, it's the same question, Miss Li, I asked you before why you didn't tell the story when the case happened.
The answer you gave me was because I really didn't think that my husband was the murderer, and the moment you were arrested, you were sure in your heart, so you told me about it.
There's nothing wrong with my statement, right?"
"Yes. Tina nodded when she heard this, there was no problem with the sentence "something".
"Okay, I have one more question, may I ask, what were you doing on October 30th?" Zhang Wei heard her answer and then asked again.
"October 30th?"
Hearing this, Tina seemed to be puzzled for a moment, and then as if she thought of something, her face changed, and then she replied.
"Time has passed so long, I forgot. ”
"Forget, okay, I can answer this question for you, on October 30th, you found a lawyer who works with your own company to evaluate the division of property if you divorce your husband.
and showed evidence of her husband's cheating, and he stepped on three boats.
But unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be of much use, and your lawyer's answer is very unsatisfactory to you.
According to the Marriage Act, the so-called duty of fidelity of the husband and wife (refers to the duty of chastity, that is, the obligation of the sexual life of the husband and wife in the marriage, which must not be used for extramarital sex during the existence of the marital relationship. )。 Although the breach will give the innocent party damages in the divorce.
However, it is limited to the two points of "bigamy" and "cohabitation of the spouse with another person", and there is no clear concept of the so-called rap in the law.
Moreover, the affair requires evidence, such as a written guarantee, evidence of on-site shooting, etc., and it must be obtained through formal channels.
But even if this is the case, even if there is evidence, it will not affect the division of marital property to a large extent.
Of course, you can ask your husband to give you some moral compensation, but this little money seems to be worthless in the face of a huge fortune.
This should turn your previous thinking that the party who made a mistake in the marriage should be clean, but unfortunately this is only from a moral level, not a legal level.
The so-called care of the innocent party in the law is only a small part, and I think you should be very dissatisfied, right? ”
Tina was stunned when she heard this, he didn't know why his previous incident had been exposed, but now was not the time to think about it.
She immediately said: "But what does this have to do with this case, I had this idea, but it ended soon, and a few of those who have been married have never thought about divorce."
And I'm a witness, not a defendant! You don't have the right to question me like that!"
"Yes, the defense lawyer asks about the content of the case. ”
"Of course, I just want to prove that this young lady's testimony is not very credible, and now I want to ask the key question of this case. ”
As he spoke, Zhang Wei glanced at Xu Jian, who was sitting in the auditorium, and then showed a smile.
