Chapter 166: Two Old Foxes

Forensic appraisal is the most routine work of judges. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The results of the info appraisal often determine the winner or loser of the lawsuit. Personal injury tests and psychiatric tests are the two most common tests, with the former determining how much money to pay and the latter determining whether or not a conviction can be imposed.

After the Nanjing BMW case, acute transient psychosis became popular on the Internet, and was ridiculed by netizens in various ways, which can show the people's attention to judicial appraisal.

Why Forensics? In the final analysis, it is the limitations of judges' knowledge and superstition about objective evidence. It is impossible for a judge to be both a legal expert and a scientist in all aspects, otherwise the small temple of the court will definitely not be able to accommodate him. He had already flown out of the courthouse and made a lot of money.

Forensic expertise is equivalent to outsourcing, where judges outsource professional issues they don't understand to experts who explain them, similar to expert witnesses in Western courts. Ten years ago, judges were very superstitious about appraisal reports, calling appraisal reports appraisal conclusions, and the subtext was that even if I was as good as I, I couldn't overturn it.

Ten years later, the judges' attitude towards the appraisal report has changed, and it is called the appraisal opinion, which means that this is just the opinion of your experts, and it is up to my judge to decide whether to adopt it or not.

Xie Siqi's lawsuit took place in 2007, a time when judges were superstitious about expert opinions. Han Dong must come up with strong evidence to overturn Professor Chow Tai-sang's appraisal conclusions.

"Lawyer Hu, listen to you, except for experts, there is no other way to let this will speak?" Han Dong asked rhetorically.

Nima, still talking, this is too child's play. Hu Jinping was sneered by Han Dong, who was chattered by the gods, "The current situation is like this, unless you use divination and fortune-telling to verify it." ”

The more the two of them talked, the more outrageous it became, Bian Qin couldn't look at it a little, he reprimanded with a straight face, "Please pay attention to court discipline on both sides." ”

Only then did Han Dong and Hu Jinping relent. "Remind the court and the opposing party that in addition to the expert opinion, we have witnesses present to testify."

Xie Xiaomeng and Hu Jinping exchanged glances when they heard this, and both of them were a little stunned. Who else is on the scene, nurse or doctor? It can't be Han Dong himself, right?

Han Dong seemed to understand their facial expressions, "As the witness and executor of Mr. Xie Zhenghe's will, I can naturally prove that the will is true." ”

Hu Jinping and Xie Xiaomeng relaxed again, they couldn't figure it out, where did Xie Siqi invite such a wonderful lawyer?

"Well, it doesn't seem convincing that I'm a witness." Han Dong smiled self-deprecatingly. Xie Xiaomeng snorted in his nose when he heard this, you are finally a little self-aware.

"So I decided to apply to the court for a third-party witness to testify!" Han Dong stopped grinding and chirping, and was ready to amplify his moves.

Hu Jinping's face changed drastically, I wiped it, are there really other witnesses? He hurriedly jumped up and objected, "Remind the court to note that the application for witnesses to appear in court to testify should be submitted within ten days before the expiration of the time limit for presenting evidence, and now the time limit has obviously expired." ”

"Lawyer Hu, it seems that your application for appraisal has exceeded the time, right?" Han Dong replied leisurely, he was not only refuting Hu Jinping, but also reminding the court not to favor one over the other.

Bian Qin's face changed slightly, Han Dong had something to say, and if he didn't agree to this kid, it would be a headache if he tossed it. "Plaintiff's attorney, please explain the relationship between the witness and the case and the purpose of proof." The judge opened this mouth, indicating that Han Dong's application was already being considered.

"The witness Wu Hongjuan, who was the nanny of Xie Zhenghe, the heir in this case, witnessed the formation of this will throughout the whole process, and she can directly prove that the will is completely true! Witnesses are now waiting outside the courtroom and can come in at any time to testify. ”

Aunt Wu is now waiting in Han Dong's Xiali car, with Sam Bao by her side, both to prevent her from escaping and to prevent someone from treating her unfavorably.

"Impossible!" Xie Xiaomeng jumped up in shock, how could Han Dong know Aunt Wu's whereabouts and invite him to the court to testify?

Xie Xiaomeng immediately glanced at Hu Jinping beside him suspiciously, didn't he ask him to hide Aunt Wu? "Don't be impatient, maybe the other party is just bluffing, Aunt Wu has already been sent away by me." Hu Jinping's heart fluctuated, but he still calmed Xie Xiaomeng as usual.

Bian Qin and the other two judges discussed for a moment and decided to allow the witnesses to testify in court. Han Dong nodded and instructed Shang Qian to lead the bailiff to summon Aunt Wu.

Hu Jinping saw that Han Dong didn't seem to be scaring people with a false shot, so he jumped up again and shouted, "I object, the plaintiff's sudden application for witnesses to testify is a surprise attack on evidence and should not be allowed." If the judge insists on it, I will report this trial to the discipline inspection for serious violations. ”

Bian Qin was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect Hu Jinping, this kid, to be so uninteresting. What did you report, didn't Lao Tzu give you convenience?

"Defendant lawyer, in view of your observance of the law, this court will rule that the appraisal report submitted by you is invalid after the time limit, and directly accept the will submitted by the plaintiff."

I'm rubbing, this judge is on the same page with him! Hu Jinping hurriedly changed his tune and agreed to the court summoning witnesses to testify. Bian Qin's face looked better at this time, but he really remembered this lawyer Hu in his heart.

Aunt Wu, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, appeared timidly in the courtroom, and the majestic courtroom made her hands and feet so cramped that she didn't know where to put it. Han Dong asked Shang Qian to switch places with her and sandwiched her between the two, and Wu Hongjuan felt a little more steady.

With the signing of the guarantee, Aunt Wu officially became a key witness in this case.

"Witness, your name?"

"Wu Hongjuan."

"Date of birth?"

"August 13, 1966."

"Home address?"

"No. XX, XX Village, Shudi Township, Xianghe County, Langfang City."

"Your profession?"

"I work as a nanny for other people."

After the judge asks the witnesses about their basic information, Han Dong's side will ask questions first, and Hu Jinping's side can also ask questions of the witnesses after obtaining the court's consent. Xie Xiaomeng saw that Wu Hongjuan's face was already pale. He was a little skeptical that Hu Jinping was eating, and he couldn't even do something as simple as hiding the witnesses?

Aunt Wu beside Han Dongchong smiled slightly, signaling that she didn't have to be nervous. Aunt Wu smiled reluctantly in response.

"Witness Wu Hongjuan, you said that you were the nanny of Mr. Xie Zhenghe, the heir in this case?" Han Dong asked.

"I've been doing it for a few months."

"Do you have any proof?"

"I... I signed a contract with Boss Xiao Xie, and I have a contract. ”

"Is Boss Xiao Xie, who signed the contract with you, here today?"

"Yes, that's him." Wu Hongjuan pointed at Xie Xiaomeng, the other party's eyes showed a fierce light, and Wu Hongjuan looked down on her. With the lesson of the last time, Xie Xiaomeng didn't dare to make a mistake.

Han Dong paused and looked at the judges of the collegial panel, their expressions seemed to be a little convinced, this is a good start. "Do you know that Mr. Xie Zhenghe made a will before his death?"

"Yes."

"Tell me about the situation."

"It was about one day in February this year, Mr. Xie Zhenghe's daughter came to see him with you, what did you say to Mr. Xie, and then Mr. Xie handwrote a will."

"Did Mr. Xie write his will by hand throughout the whole process, without any help?"

"Yes, he was weak and paused for a moment to write."

"What were you doing while he was writing?"

"I was in a hurry next to him, I asked you not to disturb his rest, the doctor said he couldn't be tired."

"Did Mr. Xie listen to your arrangement?"

"No, he kept writing the will and handed it to you before he lay down on the bed."

"Do you remember what happened next?"

"Later, you left, I heard you and Mr. Xie's daughter quarreling, I was worried that Mr. Xie had an accident on my head, so I told Boss Xiao Xie about his will."

"You told him everything that happened?" Han Dong pointed to Xie Xiaomeng in the dock and asked.

"Yes." Han Dong's gaze swept over Xie Xiaomeng and Hu Jinping, and he saw that Xie Xiaomeng's facial muscles trembled slightly, as if he was trying to calm himself. And Hu Jinping was recording something with a serious expression.

Han Dong looked at the judges again, and they were thoughtful about what the witnesses had said. Han Dong then asked, "What is Boss Xiao Xie's reaction?" ”

"He scolded me to death, he blamed me for not stopping you, alas, I'm just a babysitter, what can I do." Wu Hongjuan looked aggrieved.

"Why didn't you work as a nanny for Mr. Xie Zhenghe later?"

"Boss Xiao Xie must blame me for not stopping you. He gave me 10,000 yuan and sent me back to my hometown to rest temporarily. ”

"Do you know the relationship between Miss Xie Siqi and Xie Zheng and the old gentleman who were present at the time?"

"I heard that the nurse said that it was Mr. Xie's daughter who was born outside, this is their private matter, I didn't dare to ask more."

"Okay, thank you for answering truthfully, I don't have a problem with the court."

Wu Hongjuan's testimony was very clear and perfectly achieved Han Dong's purpose. But Hu Jinping is not easy to follow, he came up and took Wu Hongjuan's army.

"Does the defendant have to question witnesses?" Bian Qin asked.

"Yes, Judge." Hu Jinping patted Xie Xiaomeng's shoulder and signaled him to calm down. He stood up and pretended to stare at Aunt Wu's eyes with majesty, seeing that the other party was terrified.

"Witness Wu Hongjuan, do you know that perjury is a prison sentence?" Hu Jinping asked majestically.

Wu Hongjuan nodded in fear. "Very well, then you have to be honest next, or the cell will be next door."

"Judge, I object to the defendant's lawyer intimidating witnesses." Han Dong saw that he couldn't do it without intervening, and Hu Jinping came up with two ruthless sticks, trying to break Wu Hongjuan's timid psychological defense.

"Lawyer Hu, please ask questions directly." Bian Qin was noncommittal to Han Dong's protest. "This begins, Judge." Hu Jinping replied respectfully.

"The client you just identified me as Boss Xiao Xie who hired you, so do you also recognize me?" Wu Hongjuan nodded, then shook her head.

"Witness, please answer in words." Bian Qin suddenly shouted like thunder, which made Wu Hongjuan tremble.

She turned her face away and looked at Han Dong for courage, and Han Dong nodded at her and gave her a reassuring look.

"I know you." Wu Hongjuan whispered.

"That's weird, I've never met you, where did you know me?"

"You've been to my house..."

"Joke!" Hu Jinping raised his voice again, "I didn't know that there was such a witness as you until today, I have never seen you before, and I don't know where your family lives." You said I went to your house, did he tell you to say that? Hu Jinping pointed at Han Dong.

"No, you just went to my house..."Wu Hongjuan was about to cry, how could this person turn his face and not recognize people? She didn't expect lawyers to be liars by nature. Turning your face is faster than turning a book.

"Brought to the attention of the Tribunal. I was involved in this case after the death of the deceased, and according to her, it was impossible for me to meet her. This witness is extremely suspicious, and it cannot be ruled out that the plaintiff deliberately trained him to deceive the court. ”

Bian Qin on the stage still looked unfazed, he had seen all the winds and waves, and this scene was very familiar. But the young judge Zhao Xiaojuan fell into chaos, who is lying?

Her brows furrowed, her eyes roaming back and forth over Han Dong and Hu Jinping's faces, trying to find flaws in their expressions. It's a pity that both of them are old foxes, and Judge Zhao Xiaojuan didn't see why.
