Chapter 62: A Miraculous First Trial
"Presiding judge, judge, in view of the fact that my client is not guilty of forcible indecent assault on women, the second charge resulting from this, intentional injury, is also full of suspicions!"
Ou Daya, under the suppression of the judge, has not been able to speak. In Hu Pan's eyes, the lawyer is just an ornament, he only needs to discuss with the prosecutor, and then, interspersed with the questioning of the plaintiff and witnesses, the final verdict can be announced.
As for the defendant, the criminal, any remarks he makes will certainly be a quibble. If you don't say it, you can say it in vain.
Well, by the way, when the final closing statement is made, it is better to give the lawyer a chance, after all, the person has received the client's money! We are kind-hearted, and let him have an explanation from the client.
What is rare is that early a few days ago, the dean and the vice president of the business authority had a surprisingly good attitude and invited him to the office, and the dean personally made him a cup of Huangshan Maofeng.
After the two praised him, the vice president complained with a sad face, saying, "There is a complicated criminal case immediately, although the evidence of the prosecution, the plaintiff, the witnesses, and the police station is very conclusive, but one of the charges is just missing, a small material."
This is the first time I have encountered them! Several other senior judges are also deeply troubled and at a loss.
It's like an accountant who gets old and is less courageous! It's the same with our judgments, the older we get, the more hesitant we become. Don't dare to judge lightly! Trembling and trembling, walking on thin ice, even if others are afraid, we judges, deep down, still fear the law! Alas, when you are old, you will be laughed!"
The vice dean sighed.
"So, we thought of you, young and strong, bold and decisive! Look, can you?"
The dean asked with a pleasant face.
"Ahh Please rest assured, I will do it brightly! Wait for the good news of my victory!"
A little additional background before the trial. Continue with the text.
"Lawyer, this court allows you to speak, please tell in detail, but don't talk about it!"
Hu Pan had a rare democracy.
"Very simply, if it is true, as the victim Zhang said, that she and the defendant are boyfriend and girlfriend, and the relationship between fiancΓ©, then the question arises:
First, the young couple wants to be affectionate, why do they want to drive for 50 minutes to a desolate abandoned factory on a cold and cold night in spring?
Is it the romance claimed by the plaintiff? No, it has nothing to do with the plaintiff. Because Zhang, just now, he has publicly confirmed with some behaviors that are inappropriate for children: who is the person she wants in her heart!
Anyone who is not blind in his eyes and has no bad mind will not object to this, right?
In addition, what is even more amazing is that the young couple made out, why did they invite the plaintiff and his 9 friends, as well as the defendant's own son and nephew, to come to the scene to watch?
Is it making a movie?
What's even more outrageous is that there was actually a nurse present. I've looked into it, and she was on duty at the hospital that night. I didn't ask for leave, I took a taxi, because she didn't admit that she drove with the defendant, so I can only assume that she took a taxi.
A person who couldn't hit the plaintiff, the defendant, and the victim in this case with eight poles skipped work and traveled dozens of kilometers in a car, just to be able to witness the defendant's bestiality with his own eyes!
Is it curiosity, or is it not a healthy mind?
Citizens, don't you think it's strange?
Here, I just want to ask my lovely nurse sister, how do you know that at about 8 o'clock on the night of March 29, dozens of kilometers away, a heinous crime will take place in an abandoned factory?
Don't tell me, you know the accuser, because your testimony has clearly told everyone that you are just a good young man who is passing by, playing soy sauce, and acting bravely!
Could it be that the defendant and I were chatting about it, and a small probability of an incident often happening?
Witness, please answer my question!"
Ou Daya was very angry at not letting him speak just now. He walked up and down the narrow passage beneath the judge's seat. One moment in front of the auditorium, another in front of the camera, and then in front of the judge and the prosecution. That kind of justice is awe-inspiring, and there is grace, even the buddies are stunned!
"I, I, 5555555. Nurse Xiao Shu, her face was pale, her hands kept pinching her clothes, and she suddenly burst into tears.
There was more discussion in the auditorium.
"yes, that's a coincidence, isn't it?"
"No, there must be something else going on!"
"Yes, we all saw it with our own eyes just now, the girl who was victimized, why did she kiss the defendant violently?
"Alas, it's not forced! I think there must be something wrong with the plaintiff! Otherwise, he keeps saying that he wants to marry that girl, but people don't admit it at all, and they don't even have a word of affection!"
"Perjury, persevere. Hey, look, look, that witness, that girl, what is she crying about? Hey, can't she be forced too?"
"That's it, in addition to the plaintiff's parents, there are also a few gangsters, from the police station, and the prosecution, who recognize that the plaintiff and the girl are boyfriend and girlfriend, and everyone else seems to deny it vehemently!"
"Shhh You go to the third position on your left, but you have a director, oh, beware of retaliation!"
Since the plaintiff and the girl are boyfriend and girlfriend, why do the leaders of the girl's unit, money, and money come from, but they don't know him, but help the defendant prove it?"
"Shhh, are you looking for death? That Mr. Qian, called Qian for the people, Allah has seen it on TV, forget it, Allah's little citizen, I can't afford to offend anyone, don't make a sound, let's watch the play." β
"I'm against it!"
Wu Forging raised his hand, stood up, and roared loudly. Want to suppress the tide of discussion?
"I firmly oppose the lawyer's attempt to mislead the judge and complicate a simple and straightforward case!"
He walked up to the lawyer and said defiantly.
"I am very righteous and stern against the lawyer's intimidation of witnesses!"
"Objection is valid! Lawyer, please check your words and deeds. Don't talk about speculations and conjectures that have nothing to do with this case! Don't threaten witnesses!"
Hu Pan followed Wu Foran, and followed suit.
"Yes, honorable judge!
I now turn to the issue of the second offence in relation to the present case.
Because the first charge is difficult to determine, we might as well assume that in this case, if it is the opposite, it was the plaintiff who committed the act of forcible indecent assault on a woman, and those 8 people were his accomplices, then it can reasonably explain why the defendant and his son and nephew, oh, they are still seriously injured and hospitalized, had to fight with the plaintiff and injured the plaintiff and other 8 people. β
Ou Daya raised his right hand, pointing his index finger into the air.
I almost overlooked a key question, how could the plaintiff and the defendant get together in an abandoned factory in the suburbs, more than 50 kilometers away from where the defendant was hospitalized?
Was it arranged by the director?
Your Excellency, I would like to ask the plaintiff to answer this question, is that okay?"
Ou Daya's eyes became cold.
"Ahh Please refer. β
Hu Pan saw Duan Ran nodding imperceptibly, and immediately became decisive.
"How many times have I said it! I am discussing marriage with my family, because marriage is very important, a person, once in a lifetime, so she and I attach great importance to it!
As for the defendant, the big pervert, how did he know? I don't know, I guess he sent someone to follow my dear girlfriend, right?"
The little miscellaneous skin did not blush, and said without a heartbeat.
"So, you just invited your so-called girlfriend Zhang to an abandoned factory in the wilderness at night to discuss marriage secretly, right?"
"Hahaha", the auditorium was full of joy!
"Well, yes! No, we are upright and bright, not sneaky as you say! Pay attention to your words and qualities! We are all returnees, civilized people!"
Yo, look at how well prepared people are! Even Ou Daya, my lawyer, who used to study abroad, has investigated it clearly.
And I, nothing's clear. With a heart to calculate or not, buddy hangs!
"Hahaha", the courtroom was even grander and jubilant.
"Silence, who laughs again, bailiff, please let him out!"
Hu Pan roared with a straight face.
"Okay, so
My next question, plaintiff, please answer truthfully: You have a solid family and swear to give Zhang a luxurious life, right?"
The lawyer is courteous.
"That's right! I already said just now, Shanshan married in, she is a young grandmother, and she is prosperous and rich! I will also make her happy for the rest of my life! Our family, the extended Rolls-Royce, has 3 cars, she, pick at will!"
The little miscellaneous skin is still showing off his wealth and affection.
"Have you heard? Young and handsome, from a family of officials and businessmen, affectionate and righteous, alas, if I had a daughter, I would like to marry her to one in a thousand miles. β
The lawyer shook his head in admiration.
"But on the night of the crime, may I ask you to pick up Zhang, what kind of car did you drive for the wedding with the sweetheart you care about the most?"
Ou Daya suddenly showed his fangs, and he was white.
"What's wrong with the nine-seater Chang'an van, is there a problem?"
A little miscellaneous skin, casually said.
There was a sea of boos in the audience.
"I'm done with my question. The key point of the second charge is, under what circumstances did the victim Zhang go to the abandoned factory?
The lawyer waved his hand and posed a two-pointer, triumphant gesture at the camera.
"Ahh β
Hu Pan solemnly announced.
"Judge, our prosecution will add first. In view of the first and second charges, the suspect refused to admit his guilt! We are no longer reasonable! Now, in addition to submitting evidence that he obstructed official business, injured the police, and the joint defense, we have also temporarily applied to the court to add his son and nephew as co-defendants! We have also prosecuted him for the crime of hooliganism!"
"What? How can this be?"
Originally, I was thinking, Ou Daya, I have already said that my first and second crimes have been crumbling, even if I am convicted of assaulting the police, it will be 2 or 3 years. For the sake of the child not to be sinned, let's bear with it!
"Well, the court will consider it! The criminals must be punished with the most severe punishment!"
Hu Pan said solemnly.
In the auditorium, there was another commotion, and even the reporters of the TV station were talking about it.
Ou Daya shook his head, lamented his misfortune, and looked at me angrily.
Qingqing's wife also cast concerned and sad eyes at me.
"Judge!
I stubbornly tried to stand up, but my legs wouldn't listen. When I was about to recline on the railing in front of the defendant's seat, Gong Ping and a policeman supported me left and right, and stood up!
The applause in the auditorium, under the leadership of Uncle Zhang, suddenly the mountains roared and the tsunami rose!
In that wave of applause, I felt that I was no longer alone!
After a few minutes, the applause stopped, and the courtroom was so silent that it was panicking.
"Criminal, it's not your turn to speak! Do you want to add to the crime? Shut up!"
Hu Pan was annoyed and angry by the applause, alas, if these people were cheering for his wise verdict, how good it would be!
If you are a good judge, you are not afraid of offending people!
Judge, as a lawyer, I would like to remind you that today, you have not allowed the defendant to make a statement, even me, you are forbidden to speak, I have put up with you for a long time!
Since we don't allow the client to express his intentions, and we don't let his legally authorized lawyer speak, what do you want us to do? Do you go through the motions? Why don't you just put the defendant in prison first, and then you go to announce the verdict yourself!"
Ou Daya is so angry that the wig is about to fall off. He jerked it off.
"Ou Daya! I warn you! Don't forget your identity, why did you stand on the side of criminals? Also, others are afraid of you, but I am not afraid! I am not afraid of nonsense, I handle cases impartially, enforce the law fairly, and be worthy of heaven and earth!
If you want to mess around again, believe it or not, I'll sentence you to a roaring court and expel you!"
Hu Pan's face was red and he shouted hysterically!
"Ah, the judge is crazy, isn't he? The lawyers have been kicked out, how can this be heard!"
Two reporters, whispered.
"Alas! I'm afraid it's human favor or power interfering in the case again, an old opera!"
"Hu Pan, right? Today, if you dare to make a false judgment, I, Ou Yangming, will leave my words here! I will go to the city adjudication committee and complain to you! At the same time, I have the right to directly file a second-instance trial with the city on the grounds that the facts are unclear and a forced judgment is made!
Bacon once said, "The result of one unjust sentence is equal to ten crimes." β
And today, I'm not leaving! Try it, forcibly expel me.
What are criminals? Who are criminals? Before the final verdict, there is no such thing as a criminal! Is it okay to call a suspect? I have never seen a person of your professional level! How did you get mixed up with the judge?"
Ou Daya had a complete attack, like a gladiator, covered in thorns, and his blonde hair stood up!
Applause, screams, and suddenly again.
At that moment, the image of the law priest who beat the big tooth suddenly became extremely tall!
"Quiet, please be quiet!"
Bao Pi stood up heroically, his hands in the air, and waved decisively.
"If I don't obey the order of the court again, I will arrest the person who leads the trouble!"
Wait for the crowd to calm down again.
"Defendant, you, say it. β
Hu Pan, unable to sit down, made a gesture of please.
"Hello, lawyer. Friends of TV reporters, relatives and friends in the auditorium, please testify to me!
Every word I have said below is true!"
When the three units treat me unfairly, there is no need for my buddies to respect them anymore! It is impossible to expect them to be kind and return my innocence.
"I'm going to overturn the case! Deny all the charges against me!
Because they cruelly used torture to extract confessions from me! The murderer of the beater is now in the audience!"
"Wow, wow, wow!"
There was an uproar. Bao, staring at me viciously!
"Also, the two prosecutors sitting on the stage promised me not to prosecute my son and nephew, so that I confessed to the alleged crime against my will! I didn't commit a crime!
Everyone has also seen that the victim Zhang Shan, she is my fiancΓ©e! At about 7 p.m. on March 29, she was brutally kidnapped by Xiao Zapi and her accomplices, and tried in vain to insult her!
My son and nephew found themselves in the parking lot of the hospital and took a taxi to chase them.
In order to achieve his goal, Xiao Zapi instructed his accomplices to brutally stab my 10-year-old son and 16-year-old nephew with daggers to serious injuries, and now they are still lying in the hospital, both of whom have been given critical illness notices!
As a father and uncle, I couldn't sign their critical illness notices!
Because, I was also seriously injured by someone here! I was also given a critical illness notice!
Qingqing's wife, is my woman! We dare not say it nobly, in order to save her, it is righteous and courageous, but at least, at least it can be regarded as legitimate defense, right?
Today you are judges and prosecutors, but your children and grandchildren are not necessarily judges and prosecutors. Without the protection of laws and systems, your children and grandchildren are likely to be wronged like me, hovering on the verge of long-term unjust imprisonment or even the death penalty.
Ah, lawyer, ah"
I choked up and couldn't go on.
"Defendant! Please think clearly! Every word you say today will be recorded in the case as evidence in court! Framing a civil servant will be punished in the first degree! Do you still insist on testifying?"
Hu Pan said embarrassedly, but he didn't dare to be unscrupulous anymore.
I was about to answer, when Bao Bi stood up, he said sadly.
"Liu Dajun, old friend, you have to think clearly! What to say and what not to say. You know, there are some things that you can't say you can do, and there are some things that you can't do!"
"Bao, it's you! In the detention center, the first time you came, you forced me to confess, made me put my hands behind my back, said I was on a jet plane, pressed me into a water tank, suffocated, and said that it was a hidden dragon in the abyss.
The second time, you insulted my parents first, and 6 people beat me violently, so far, my concussion has not healed, and my hands and feet do not obey the call. β
I stared at the guy and said without fear.
"You little bastard! Bloody spew! Lao Tzu can't beat you to death! Today, I have your last name!"
Bao Bi rolled up his sleeves, stood up, and rushed towards my dock.
"Don't be afraid, army, there's me. β
Seeing my instinctive reaction, Gong Ping pressed my shoulder, "Alas, it's good to make a big fuss, and if it's a big fuss, someone will take care of it." β
He muttered to himself.
"Husband, be careful!" Qingqing shouted, and also rushed towards me.
"Uncle, don't be afraid!"
My father-in-law-to-be, already standing up at the same time as the villain was activated. A stumbling block under his feet made the villain lie on the ground, trying to find some kind of food.
Immediately after, one foot stepped on it viciously!
He twisted his head and smiled smugly at me.
"Cow!" I gave a thumbs up with effort.
"It's not like it, it's too unusual! The old man is looking for someone!"
Grandpa burst into tears, and walked out tremblingly with the support of his grandfather and grandmother.
"Liu Dajun, have you really thought about it?
Wu Forging said in a smug voice.
"I'm fucking, I'm not afraid of you guys anymore!
What do we have to fear, we come to this world, and we don't plan to go back alive!
Bao, I respect you for being a hero before, why did you beat me and didn't fight back, now you want me to try again?
Also, Wu Foran, you also listen, originally, for the sake of the honor of my son and nephew, I had to cooperate with you and plead not guilty! But you are fucking, you don't have to be trustworthy! You also want to send my children to prison!"
I said angrily.
"Well said!"
Mr. Qian, who had endured kung fu and came home, also laughed and applauded.
"Fellow, you're a man! Lawyer Ouyang, listen up: From this moment on, you will be Liu Dajun's full-time lawyer!
Attorney's fees, whatever you want, the company is out!
10 million, is it enough? not enough, add another zero!
Of course, I'm also going to find someone, and I'm bullying Qian Mou's head! His mother's, see who of us takes charge!"
After saying that, he also sighed angrily and walked out quickly.
The retinue also departed.
"Defendant, you can, arrogant enough. It's a pity, in my courtroom, hehe, hey, it's the dragon you have to coil, it's the tiger you have to lie down. Let me ask you, you said that you extorted confessions by torture, but is there any evidence? Do you still need to look at the hospital's proof?"
Hu Panse screamed inwardly.
"Yes, yes, judge, he's making a false accusation!"
Duan Ran also echoed.
"Lawyer, Mr. Ouyang, please make the decision for me!"
Isn't it up to the judge to make the decision for you?
I turned my head with great difficulty, and saw that it was Nurse Xiao Shu, my own sister, who was crying loudly and leaving the witness seat!
Hu Pan stood up and wanted to say something, but he held back and sat down again.
"Oh, Xiao Shu, you say, don't be afraid! There are so many citizens who can distinguish between right and wrong, and there are also a few reporters with a conscience. β
The big tooth lawyer hurriedly greeted him and caught the little girl who was about to faint.
The courtroom fell silent.
After a while, my sister spoke, crying as she spoke.
"Brother, I'm sorry for you! You saved my mother, and you were so kind to me! I shouldn't, shouldn't have framed you!"
She faced me and bowed deeply.
"But I can't stand it, they're so cruel! I'm dying. β
She pointed to the two prosecutors and began to cry loudly.
"Once, because I firmly denied accusing you, Duan Ran rushed up to me, shouted 'Call you dishonest', and slapped me hard, and I immediately fell to the ground.
What I couldn't stand even more was that they took turns to conduct a "fatigue trial" on me.
Gradually, I thought of death, and later, when I thought of my mother, I was afraid that the white-haired person would send the black-haired person, so I had to sign it in humiliation!
I'm sorry for you!"
My sister couldn't cry anymore, and soon fainted in the lawyer's arms.
Poor sister!
Qingqing's wife also walked over with tears in her eyes, picked up her sister, helped her, and sat in the auditorium.
"It's messed up, it's all messed up!What should I do?"
Mrs. Fan, panicked.
"Call my son and his friends to withdraw first. Hide outside for a while, and you go back and pack up for them. Bring more cash, if something happens, the bank card will be frozen by the police! β
Fan Gang hurriedly commanded.
Taking advantage of the chaos of the scene, he quietly disappeared.
Bao Pi got up from the ground, and the dust didn't bother to wipe it, and slipped away with a grunt.
Wu Forging and Duan Ran also wanted to leave, but were stopped by Hu Pan.
Finally, it is the time for lawyer Ou Daya's statement.
I suddenly noticed that Hu Pan quietly went out for a while. After coming back, he changed his decadence and became radiant again.
Wait patiently for the lawyer to finish.
"All stand up!" the bailiff suddenly shouted.
Everyone was blindsided, but they stood up mechanically.
"Smack!" Hu Pan slapped the wood in surprise and read it aloud, and because of his weak heart, he didn't even read all the articles of the Criminal Law.
"In view of the fact that the facts of this case are clear, the evidence is conclusive, and the criminals have confessed, this court pronounces the following verdict:
Defendant Liu X was sentenced to more than five years imprisonment for violently and forcibly molesting a woman in a public place, three years imprisonment for intentional injury, and three years imprisonment for violently obstructing the lawful performance of duties by state organ personnel.
Because instigating his minor son and nephew to jointly commit a crime constitutes an element of a group crime, it was decided to increase the punishment!
The defendant committed the first crime and decided to carry out a 15-year sentence!
He will be sentenced to 21 years in prison for several crimes!
Leave the court!"
Hu Pan finally deserved his name, and successfully completed it again, Hu Judgment!
"Oh, judge, even if the sentence is combined, if the total sentence of imprisonment is less than 35 years, the maximum sentence cannot exceed 20 years! How can it be 21 years?"
Lawyer Ouyang was shocked, but even more shocked, and shouted loudly!
"Bastard! Cover up! Bend the law for personal gain!"
The quick reaction has already smashed shoes, socks, powder boxes, eyebrow pencils, toilet paper, and even watches on the judge's seat.
It's so good to die, a watch, it seems to be quite valuable, right in the middle of Hu Pan's forehead, and dirty blood flows out. Covering his head, under the protection of two prosecutors and bailiffs, he fled from the courtroom in embarrassment.
