Chapter 46: Final Verdict (2)
"I'm against it!" the opposing lawyer, Zhao Jianyang, immediately retorted, at least, to suppress Tang Yi in terms of momentum.
This is a normal process in the court trial, clinker, Wu Zhengyi picked up the gavel and knocked it, attracting Zhao Jianyang's attention.
"What are you against?" Wu Zhengyi asked with a half-smile.
"I object to this attitude of the accused, and the facts are clearβ"
"Didn't you hear what I said just now?" Wu Zhengyi unceremoniously interrupted Zhao Jianyang's words, "As the prosecution, you need my permission before you can interrogate the defendant." β
"I'm sorry, Chief Judge," Zhao Jianyang knew who was the biggest in this court, so he had to bow down and apologize, "I really didn't hear this." β
"Now you hear that?" Wu Zhengyi asked, and Zhao Jianyang nodded.
"You may be seated. Wu Zhengyi said with a straight face.
Zhao Jianyang sat down and immediately got up again: "Chief Judge, I object." β
Wu Zhengyi smiled slightly: "The objection is invalid, and the defendant has the right to state the facts he believes." β
"But he's obviously lying!" Zhao Jianyang said sharply, "Denying all the accusations as soon as he came up is not only disrespectful to the prosecutor's investigation and evidence collection work, but also disrespectful to the law, and even more contempt for you, the chief judge!"
Zhao Jianyang tried in vain to button Tang Yi's hat and piggyback on Wu Zhengyi, how did he know that Wu Zhengyi and Tang Yi were together?
Wu Zhengyi glanced at Tang Yi, Tang Yi was expressionless, unusually calm, and was staring at Zhao Jianyang, who was like a shrew.
"Defendant, this is the court, I hope you respect the law, the case you are about to express must be the actual situation, at least, the actual situation that you subjectively identify, can you do this?" Wu Zhengyi asked Tang Yi.
"I can do it, and I assure you that the facts I am about to state are not my subjective determinations, but objective facts. In addition, I deeply regret the unfounded accusations that the prosecution has just made against me. Because they represent Guo Jia and the law, but they use the rights granted to them by Guo Jia and the law to make a lawsuit that is seriously inconsistent with the facts and extremely unfavorable to the defendant, I think this is not only disrespectful to me personally, to this court, and to you, the chief judge, but also to the file and Guo Jia! May I ask the three prosecutors, do you still remember those four words in the oath of entry? Be loyal to the file! Ask yourself, have you been loyal? Are you worthy of the file badge you wear on your chest?"
With the way of others, and the body of others, Tang Yi buckled a bigger hat back!
Tang Yi's tone of words was gradual, from the gentle drizzle, and finally became impassioned, a speech, shocked the audience, whether it was Tang Yi's friends or opponents or really neutral reporters, the masses, all surprised by the eloquence and meticulous logic of this 15-year-old boy, these words also made the three prosecutors from the inspection agency embarrassed, their faces were like frost eggplants, one of them, also subconsciously bowed his head, touched his own badge.
Mary, who was sitting beside Tang Yi, grew her mouth even more, and she suddenly felt that her position was very awkward, and the client's eloquence, the art of speech and debate, were even above herself!
This is not the advantage brought by Tang Yi's rebirth, but his innate skills, starting from the experimental high school, Tang Yi is the captain of the school debate team, and when he arrived at the university, he led the team to win the runner-up in the Beijing Division of the National College Student Debate Competition, as the team's "second debate", Tang Yi is the main force in the team at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends in the free debate stage, and is best at grasping the opponent's loopholes and striking back.
Zhao Jianyang was so shocked by Tang Yi that he was speechless for a while, so he had to retort retorting: "Honest and untrustworthy!"
Tang Yi ignored Zhao Jianyang and looked at Wu Zhengyi: "Chief Judge, can I start to make a statement?"
Everyone just reacted, it turned out that the real confrontation had not yet begun!
"Yes. Wu Zhengyi was very satisfied with Tang Yi's performance just now, and admired it from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't show it, so he had to add, "Defendant, I guarantee that your statement will not be interrupted." β
Naturally, this was said to the prosecutor and Zhao Jianyang, and this is indeed one of the defendant's legitimate rights and interests, but sometimes, when the prosecutor and the prosecutor's lawyer are in a strong position, the chief judge will generally interrupt the defendant's statement and adopt a tacit approach.
Tang Yi bowed to Wu Zhengyi, and then began to tell the facts and circumstances that happened, starting from Chen Xiang's "fishing law enforcement" until he was stunned by Zhao Dezhu with a gun butt, and emphasized the two shots at that time.
"Presiding Judge, jurors, I have finished my statement. After Tang Yi finished speaking, he bowed to Wu Zhengyi and the audience and sat down slowly.
"Chief Judge, I object. Zhao Jianyang finally got the opportunity and stood up to make a statement.
Wu Zhengyi nodded and raised his hand to signal that Zhao Jianyang could raise objections.
Zhao Jianyang grimaced and asked Tang Yi: "May I ask the defendant, what you just said, the two gunshots rang out, did you hear it alone, or did everyone present hear it?"
This question itself is a trap.
If Tang Yi said that he was the only one who heard it, Zhao Jianyang would definitely say that it was an auditory hallucination caused by you in a hurry; if Tang Yi said that everyone present heard it, Zhao Jianyang would definitely summon the witnesses at that time, there were three groups of people present at that time, the people of the "third uncle" or Zhao Dezhu's people, they had already been dealt with by Wang Can, and they must have committed perjury, and the people from the inspection department must also be on Chen Xiang's side, and their testimony will be very unfavorable to Tang Yi.
Tang Yi pondered for a while, and then figured out this truth, he did not answer positively, did not give Zhao Jianyang the opportunity to summon witnesses on their side, but took preemptive measures.
"It was indeed two gunshot shotsβ"
"Please answer my question positively," Zhao Jianyang said aggressively, "Did you alone hear the two gunshots, or did everyone present hear them?" β
Tang Yi smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Afterwards, someone found two bullet casings at the scene, may I ask Lawyer Zhao, will the two bullet casings be one gunfire or two gunshot sounds?"
Zhao Jianyang was shocked, because the materials he got were indeed a gunshot, and he didn't know about the two bullet shells.
"Where's the evidence?" asked Zhao Jianyang.
Tang Yi looked at Mary, Mary was stunned, she thought that Tang Yi was going to do it herself, and she didn't need her at all, how could Tang Yi say this matter by himself, he secretly ran back to the scene of the crime, only to find the bullet casing, this "credit" belongs to Zhou Fang.
Mary got up and coughed lightly: "The day after the crime, my client's friend, Ms. Zhou Fang, returned to the scene of the crime and found two bullet casings at the scene, one was indeed left at the scene by my client because of the shooting, and the other was found on the top of the mountain. We have reason to believe that at the time of the crime, the two guns were fired almost at the same time, giving people the illusion that a single gun was suspected to have sounded, and it was the gun on the top of the mountain that really shot the victim in this case and caused his death. β
Zhao Jianyang, including Li Fuxiang below, was all stunned and had no preparation at all.
In the audience, he began to whisper, Wang Can's face was a little ugly, he didn't expect that his well-designed killing game was actually broken by Tang Yi!
Wu Zhengyi looked at the audience: "Excuse me, is Ms. Zhou Fang at the scene?"
Zhou Fang sat in the first row and immediately got up: "Chief Judge, I am Zhou Fang." β
"Is what Lawyer Zhang said just now true?" asked Wu Zhengyi.
"Yes, this is enough to prove that it was not Tang Yi who shot the victim Chen Xiang, but someone else. Zhou Fang replied loudly that he had almost given up on the case, and it was not until two hours before the trial that an important "witness" was arrested and she regained her strength.
"Please submit physical evidence. Wu Zhengyi said.
The side door opened, and a law well held a tray with two bullets in a small plastic bag, and presented it to the interrogator and the prosecutor.
"I object!" Zhao Jianyang is worthy of being the No. 1 lawyer in Xicheng, obviously the information he has does not match the other party's statement, but he still found a loophole in a short time.
"Counsel for the prosecution is invited to speak. Wu Zhengyi did not stop Zhao Jianyang this time.
"This Miss Zhou only found two bullet casings at the scene, but this does not prove that the person who shot the victim must not be the defendant, please allow me to make a bold assumption, according to what the opposing lawyer just said, Ms. Zhou Fang found the second bullet casing at the scene the day after the crime, so is there such a possibility: The victim's friend, in order to protect the victim, returned to the scene after the crime, deliberately placed a bullet casing on the top of the mountain, and made perjury? Taking a step back, I would like to ask Miss Zhou, how can I prove that this bullet casing must have been found at the scene of the crime? To tell the truth, my son's family also has several shells that are exactly the same as these two! Therefore, I have all the more reason to suspect that Miss Zhou is committing perjury!"
After Zhao Jianyang's words, the audience began to whisper again, because there is indeed such a possibility.
Wu Zhengyi knocked on the hammer and turned to Mary and Tang Yi: "What do you have to say about this?"
"Attorney for the prosecution," Mary said, "please note the codes on the plastic packaging of these two bullet casings, which are the identification codes of the Provincial Attack Antin, which they have verified by the Provincial Trial. β
Zhao Jianyang pouted and smiled: "It's not that I don't believe in Xingting, may I ask, Xingting can verify that a bullet casing is found on the top of a coal gangue mountain two hundred kilometers away from Xicheng?"
