Chapter 781 ['Chen Xuanfeng's Spring'] Happy Lantern Festival
Sun Yuqing also knew what Zhou Yi wanted to do at this time, but he had no way to stop it. He could only sigh and begin his closing arguments: "Your Excellency, distinguished jurors, murder is a crime of a very heinous nature, and the defendant was lured by the deceased to engage in immoral sex trafficking because of his daughter."
There was nothing new in his closing argument, it was nothing more than repeating the evidence in his favor, deducing that Qin Shuimei pushed Huang Guangming out of the window and fell to his death in order to vent his anger, and finally asked the jury to convict Qin Shuimei of murder. Ge Meimei is a minor, and because this case involves her personal privacy, she has the right to refuse to testify in court, but during the trial, Qin Shuimei affirmed the fact that Ge Meimei was lured by Huang Guangming to be a 'chicken', and combined with Zhang Shui's testimony, it can be confirmed as a fact, so Sun Yuqing was able to cite it, so that on the surface, Qin Shuimei had a motive to kill.
"Your Excellency, distinguished jurors, I very much agree with what the prosecutor just said......"
Zhou Yi smiled slightly and said, "Yes, the crime of murder is a crime of a very bad nature. Because of this, once convicted, my client, Ms. Qin, will inevitably be sentenced to life imprisonment, losing the freedom that each of us has to defend with our lives, so we need to be extremely cautious in judging guilt and innocence!"
"The spirit of the rule of law in Hong Kong is that 'the interests of doubts belong to the defendant'. In other words, in order to determine whether a person is guilty or not, the evidence presented by the prosecution must be able to clear all doubts, otherwise the defendant cannot be found guilty. ”
Zhou Yi's voice was neither high nor low, and his speed of speech was also maintained at a slightly faster speed than that of a normal person: "The testimony of the three witnesses in this case is obviously suspicious, and the witness Zhang Shui cannot prove the truth about what happened in room 801; the witness Mr. Lin Hui cannot prove that Huang Guangming fell because my client pushed him; as for the witness Miss Huang Li, she is an addict at all, and she can't even control her behavior when she takes a lot of drugs and hallucinates." What about testifying?"
"In addition, I must remind the jurors that the third witness in this case, Miss Huang, should have been sitting in the defendant's box like my client!"
Zhou Yiyi pointed to the defendant column and said loudly: "According to the testimony of expert witnesses, it is very likely that Miss Huang made an aggressive move that night because of 'environmental inducements', so is it possible that the deceased was pushed down by her? Of course, this possibility is very small, as small as the possibility that my client will kill Huang Guangming." It was only because my client was worried about making a wrong judgment that I did not mention Ms. Huang. So that instead of being a defendant, she became a witness for the prosecution!"
"In other words, there are actually two suspects in this case, and they may both be murderers; of course, it is also possible that the deceased Huang Guangming fell to his death, so there are at least three possibilities!" Zhou Yi said: "And to determine that my client has committed murder, the prosecution has the obligation to prove that the other two possibilities do not exist, otherwise there are doubts!"
"In the history of English law, there has been a 'murder in the locked room' ......"
Zhou Yidao: "In this case. There were two suspects and a body in the enclosed space. Obviously, one of the two suspects must be the real murderer, but the two accused each other of killing, and the prosecution could not prove who told the lie. Therefore, in the end, both of them were acquitted! This is the spirit of the modern rule of law, and this is the so-called 'rather indulgence than misfortune'! I think that at this moment, the jurors should have already made a decision. That is, to rule that my client, Qin Shuimei, is not guilty of murder!"
Half an hour later, the jury members returned to the courtroom, so short that the time was explained. The jury's opinion should be strikingly unanimous. For a felony such as murder, the jury has discussed that it was normal for a day and a night, and there have even been cases where the jury had to be disbanded and reorganized because it could not reach a large majority of opinions.
"Your Excellency, we have a result. ”
The chief juror stood up and said, "We passed by a large margin of 6 to 1 to count the defendant for murder...... Not true!"
"The defendant is not guilty of murder, and I announce that the defendant will be released in court!"
The presiding judge looked at Zhou Yi with a smile and nodded slightly, she is also a woman.
Sun Yuqing sighed, packed up his things and turned around and left the courtroom, without even shaking hands with Zhou Yi, he was a little embarrassed to lose this case. Qin Shuimei shed tears, walked out of the prisoner's bar, and came to Zhou Yi: "Zhou Dazhuo, thank you, thank you......"
"Alright, let's go home. Zhou Yi smiled: "By the way, before you go home, don't forget to pick up your daughter Meimei first, she must miss you very much." ”
***
Playing a temporary cameo as a lawyer and talking in court is like a new attempt in life, just like a person on a journey, looking at different scenery, it seems to be very good. But to be honest, Zhou Yi is not very accustomed to this kind of overly rational and annihilated the emotional court arguments, the system gave him the opportunity to peek into a more magical world, the people he saw, whether it was Su Dingfang Wang Dong, or the Mingwei monk Gudao, are all sensual to the point that they can't be emotional, full of imagination 'seeker', Zhou Yi is the same now, if it weren't for Zhang Hua's pitiful background, and an unreasonable half-madman, he would not be a lawyer.
In Zhou Yi's view, this experience has passed in the past, but he can't imagine that some things will be drawn out from it in the future, and in the mouths of Gu Dao and others, it is cause and effect. And after 'cameo' as a lawyer for a few days, there will be a very strange feeling, like schizophrenia, personality misalignment, not to mention that after getting the idler system, even before I rarely had this feeling, Zhou Yi is not a psychopath.
Lawyers are a strange race that pursues justice, but often stands on the dark side, maneuvering between the upper and lower classes, and does not easily trust anyone, not even themselves. This unique experience, over time, will even produce a kind of personality aberration, making these people calm and terrifying, rational can be compared to computers, but gradually lose the unique sensibility of human beings.
Compared with practitioners who take the pursuit of the mysteries of life as their life goal, these are the two extremes, even the role change in the past few days makes Zhou Yi feel very uncomfortable, saying Hongchen, the lawyer should be the type of person who has fallen into Hongchen the deepest, this is also like a tempering, not experienced, but also mental.
Qin Shuimei was acquitted, Zhang Hua's mind seemed to have been released, riding on the horse with a spring breeze, her long hair pressed under the jockey's hat fluttering, and the madman turned into an old handsome guy, causing many young horse fans to shout excitedly, and everyone wanted to sit on Hei Feng's body.
Black Wind is also more energetic. This horse looks at people, except for Zhou Yi is Zhang Hua, who can completely control it, even the catkins are almost hot, and most of the season runs down, not only with Zhang Hua and the horse, but also with the centaur of the people, it can feel Zhang Hua's changes, excitedly snorting, snorting, slapping, before it started running, the black fur was flushed with dark red.
"Sweat and blood black wind!
It is no secret that Black Wind is a sweaty horse, even if the horse fans in the field are not Bole, they are also half of the experts who know horses; Black Wind has brought them a lot of wealth for most of the season, and they will naturally pay attention to this dark horse that was born out of nowhere, compared to it, although the 'sea level' is also dark enough, the mass base is still a little worse, compared to the Black Wind has many fans, and there are countless human fans.
Now Zhou Yi and Li Shuangkai, He Yingdong jointly founded the underground network has controlled most of the Xiangjiang underground horse industry, strong service, can make money, encounter the horse dizzy but also good words to persuade, and formulate rules to guide the semi-gambling nature of betting on horses to sports, fun and betting.
Gambling and gambling, the difference between one word is a thousand miles, the former is an interest, the latter is a vice, in the era when Qin Niansheng completely mastered the underground horse world, betting on horses has completely become gambling, and now Zhou Yi has made the underground network but the diversion is correct, which has an effect that even the Xiangjiang Jockey Club can not play, which has the influence of the Li family and the He family, and the 'inside information' that Zhou Yi revealed from time to time, with such a good underground boss, going with him is equivalent to following the party?
As soon as he thought of this, even Gao Jin, the God of Gamblers, had to write a service word, calling him the God of Gamblers, but he didn't do what Zhou Yi did.
However, today he is Zhou Yi's opponent, an opponent who sympathizes with each other.
PS: Year after year, what have we gained, what have we left, and what do we need to recall?
In fact, you don't have to think about it, look at the present, cherish your family, this is your greatest asset, compared with the rich and poor, the ups and downs of life, what is it?
Today is the Lantern Festival, a good day for family reunions and celebrations, and I wish all book friends a happy Lantern Festival and a smooth Year of the Horse.
The word count is a little less today, sorry, salute :)
Thanks to the reward of the 'thief' brother, happy Lantern Festival :) (To be continued......)
