Chapter 540: The Interrogation Ends

The trial finally began, beginning with the opening remarks, in which the judge, the jury, the lawyers, and all the spectators stood up, and after the ceremony, the judge announced that the trial had begun. Zi Hidden Pavilion

First, prosecution lawyer Wang Yuanfu interrogated the defendant Ma Yan

"Defendant, on the night of August 29 this year, did you drive your car and hit and kill an elderly man"

"Nope."

Ma Yan replied very dryly.

In fact, Ma Yan is not a person who likes to lie, but this time, Tong Ming asked him to lie.

If you want to be found not guilty, then lying is a must, and only flatly denying that you have hit and killed someone by driving is the prerequisite for winning the case.

Although Ma Yan has some resistance to lying, Tong Ming is also right, as long as he can make up for the mistakes he has made in his future work, then this lying can be forgiven by everyone.

After all, in the position of deputy district head, he can do far more things than in prison

"Will You Be Able to Swear"

"I swear"

"Okay."

After getting Ma Yan's denial, lawyer Wang Yuanfu walked back stupidly.

He didn't want to be the prosecution's lawyer, because in court, someone had to testify against Ma Yan's crimes, so Wang Yuanfu had to bite the bullet.

However, the current public opinion and the large number of people who defend Deputy Mayor Ma Yan show how popular he is.

No matter how you look at it, Ma Yan, the deputy district head, is also very likely to be found not guilty, so being the prosecution lawyer is really not a good errand, and Wang Yuanfu doesn't want to be hated by the people

After Wang Yuanfu retreated, defense lawyer Guo Mingchun came to the front of Deputy District Chief Ma Yan.

"Defendant, on the night of August 29 this year, did you drive your car and hit and kill an elderly man"

"Nope."

The first sentence of the question was not much different from what the prosecution's lawyer asked.

But after that, lawyer Guo Mingchun turned to the judge.

"Judge, I ask me to call the first witness"

"Consent"

With the judge's permission, the first witness was before the judge and the jurors.

This witness is the son of the man who was hit and killed, Ming Chuhong

Tong Ming naturally knew this person, because this person had come to entrust Tong Ming to investigate Deputy District Chief Ma Yan, if it wasn't for Ming Chuhong's commission, Tong Ming probably wouldn't have had a way to know that Deputy District Chief Ma Yan was a good official.

But after that, Tong Ming never saw Ming Chuhong again, and he didn't ask him to defend Ma Yan, it seems that this witness was invited by the defense lawyer.

"Mr. Ming, first of all, I am saddened that your father died under the wheels, but in the court, there is a person who was accused of hitting and killing your father, please see if it is the one in front of you"

Lawyer Guo Mingchun pointed to Ma Yan, deputy head of the district, and asked Ming Chuhong, who glanced at Ma Yan and said, "No, it's not him." ”

Ming Chuhong shook his head and denied it.

All the observers present saw the clues, in fact, just the words of Ming Chuhong, the victim's family, could almost declare that Deputy District Chief Ma Yan was innocent

Tong Ming's heart was also sighing, Ming Chuhong, he could even let go of his father's death, and he was willing to appear in court to testify for Deputy District Mayor Ma Yan, such a spirit is really commendable.

"Judge, I'm done"

Saying that, lawyer Guo Mingchun asked Ming Chuhong to go down to rest, and in the current situation, the defense obviously has the upper hand.

But Wang Yuanfu, the prosecution's lawyer, had nothing else to say, and only remained silent.

"Judge, allow me to call a second witness"

Lawyer Guo Mingchun pleaded that a second witness be brought up, and the judge agreed, and it didn't take long for the second witness to come forward.

This witness was none other than Deputy District Chief Ma Yan's full-time driver.

"May I ask if you are the full-time driver of Deputy District Chief Ma?"

"Yes."

"So what are you doing around 8 p.m. on August 29 this year?"

"I was driving, because I was the driver, so Deputy Mayor Ma's bus, I could drive it as my own car, but after 8 o'clock in the evening, I pressed the accelerator as a brake, causing an elderly man to die."

Just a few words from the driver caused an uproar in the courtroom.

This driver, however, was specially invited out of prison by lawyer Guo Mingchun, but it was not easy for him to be invited out while he was serving his sentence.

However, under the instructions of the leaders of the municipal party committee, lawyer Guo Mingchun still invited the driver to the court to testify for Deputy District Mayor Ma Yan.

"So, you killed the man"

"I killed me."

"In the process of hitting and killing people, does Ma Yan have any responsibility?"

"But Deputy District Chief Ma was not at the scene at all, but because I was driving his car and killed someone, he can only be responsible for compensating the family of the deceased, and for this reason, he even sold his own house, I feel very sorry for him."

In the courtroom, the driver almost cried, and such a scene moved everyone present.

Lawyer Guo Mingchun asked again: "Since you killed the person, and you also got the punishment you deserve and were sentenced, why is Deputy District Chief Ma Yan, who still admits in the newspaper and media that he killed the person?"

"I don't know about that."

"Judge, I'm done"

Because there were no new clues from the driver's mouth, lawyer Guo Mingchun asked the driver to go down.

There was a lot of discussion at the trial, and this time, it was almost possible to determine that Ma Yan was innocent

Tong Ming was also moved by the driver's integrity, he knew that Deputy District Chief Ma Yan had a heavy responsibility for Jiulong District, so he would rather go to prison with a black pot on his back than be punished.

Drivers like this can't be found even with lanterns

The prosecution lawyer just sat silently and did not say anything superfluous, while the defense lawyer called a third witness.

This witness is also a person Tong Ming is familiar with, and he is the leader of the kidnappers who kidnapped the family of Deputy District Chief Ma Yan.

It seems that the defense lawyer Guo Mingchun really has some skills, and even invited the leader of the kidnappers who has not yet been convicted

"I want to ask you, do you know this person across from you"

Guo Mingchun asked carefully, and the leader of the kidnappers was already a marionette at this time.

"I know, he is Ma Yan, the deputy head of Jiulong District, Sanjiang City."

"Do you have verbal communication with him?"

"Yes, but only on the phone."

"What did you say to him on the phone?"

"I asked him to take the initiative to admit in the press and media that he had hit and killed someone with his car."

"Why are you doing this?"

"It was instructed by man."

"Who instructed it?"

"A foreigner named Adam, but I don't know if this Adam is his real name."

"And now, can you still contact that Adam?"

"No, after getting paid, I can't contact him anymore."

"That Adam, why did you threaten Deputy District Chief Ma Yan to admit in the media that he had hit and killed someone with his car?"

"I don't know about that."

"But, what do you use to threaten Deputy District Mayor Ma Yan to comply?"

"Because my companion and I kidnapped Ma Yan's wife and children, he can't help but listen to us."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience.

It turned out that the reason why Deputy District Chief Ma Yan admitted that he killed Le Ming Chuhong's father was because he was threatened, and the kidnappers kidnapped his family, and he had no choice but to do it.

"Please let me ask again, do you know if Deputy District Chief Ma Yan really hit and killed someone?"

"I don't know."

Every word spoken by the kidnapper leader came from the heart, and he did not lie, because he could not lie.

Presumably, this time, the reason why the kidnapper leader appeared in court to testify was precisely because lawyer Guo Mingchun or someone at higher level promised him a lot of benefits, and he was willing to come forward for the sake of these benefits.

After the testimony of the kidnapper leader was finished, the defense lawyer Guo Mingchun did not find any other witnesses, because the testimony of these three witnesses was sufficient.

"Mr. Judge, having listened to the testimony of three witnesses, I believe the facts are clear

First of all, the person who killed Mr. Ming Chuhong's father was not the deputy district magistrate Ma Yan himself, but his driver, who relied on himself to be the driver of the deputy district magistrate, used the bus for private use, and accidentally hit and killed someone, and the deputy district magistrate Ma Yan not only had no fault during the whole process, but also actively compensated, in order to compensate the family of the deceased, he even sold his house.

But there were unforeseen circumstances, when the driver of the deputy head of Ma Yan was imprisoned, but there were people with ulterior motives, kidnapped Ma Yan's family, and threatened his family to make Ma Yan admit that he had killed someone, and announced it in the newspaper, so that the government had to put the deputy head of Ma Yan under house arrest.

Here, I don't want to investigate who instructed these kidnappers to kidnap the family of Deputy District Chief Ma Yan, in short, the person behind the scenes did not have any good intentions, but what can be known is that once Deputy District Chief Ma Yan is found not guilty, the wishful thinking of the people behind the scenes will be in vain. ”

Lawyer Guo Mingchun has analyzed all the things going on, and these things are most in line with the testimony of the witnesses at the moment.

However, the prosecution lawyer Wang Yuanfu did not say a word during the whole process, and he let the defense lawyer Guo Mingchun speak, and it seemed that he had given up resistance.

In a sense, the prosecution lawyer had no intention of resisting from the beginning, and his attendance at the trial was just a formality, and he had to go through the trial until the end of the trial.

Wang Yuanfu didn't want to pull a lot of hatred for himself for no reason because of this case, otherwise, he might not be able to receive business in the future

The judge and the jury deliberated for a while, and then the judge pronounced the verdict

"After deliberation with the jury, Ma Yan was acquitted and released on the spot in the case of Ma Yan's traffic accident due to insufficient evidence."

As soon as the verdict came out, the court immediately boiled.

All the people rejoiced, and the reason for their rejoicing was, of course, because a good official had been cleared of his grievances and was able to continue to serve the people.

The prosecution lawyer Wang Yuanfu and the defense lawyer Guo Mingchun shook hands cordially, and it can be seen from such a scene that these two lawyers actually did not attach too much importance to the outcome of the case.

Although the trial was very high-profile, the process of the trial did not exceed an hour, which was very short.

The result of the trial was also very happy, the innocent people were released in court, and the guilty people continued to squat in prison

Everyone was very excited, but Tong Ming was extraordinarily calm.

In fact, the entire process of the trial was expected by Tong Ming.

Because of the pressure from public opinion from the outside world, the people's hearts were one-sided, and under such a premise, this trial became a formality ceremony.

The prosecution lawyer only asked the defendant Ma Yan one question, and then asked no other questions, and the rest was asked by the defense lawyer, and even those witnesses were invited by the defense lawyer.

No matter how you look at it, this trial is just a process to release Ma Yan, the deputy district head

Ma Yan was released from the court, but he still left the courtroom accompanied by two armed policemen, and as soon as he left the courtroom, he was surrounded by many reporters, who rushed to ask Ma Yan questions, and Ma Yan, the deputy head of the district, did not say a word, and continued to remain silent is Kim's attitude.

Tong Ming rested in the courtroom for a while, and then left.

Like the treatment suffered by Ma Yan, as soon as Tong Ming walked out of the door of the court, he was also surrounded by reporters, and the reporters kept pressing the shutter in their hands, and the flashing lights flashed one after another, making Tong Ming's eyes a little dizzy.

However, unlike Ma Yan's attitude, Tong Ming was very cheerful, and he answered the reporters' questions directly.

"Mr. Tong Ming, you are the first person to avenge Mr. Ma Yan, can you sue me, now that Mr. Ma Yan has finally been acquitted, what is your mood?"

"Of course I'm happy

Not ordinary joy, but very happy

The reason why I avenged the grievances of Deputy District Mayor Ma Yan, and in the process of complaining, I also did such an extreme thing as gathering crowds to make trouble in front of the district government, in order to insist on justice in my heart, and now, an innocent official has finally been acquitted by the court, I am naturally very happy.

I think that this case can show that China's judicial system is constantly improving, and the previous judicial procedures were mostly monolithic, and the convicted people have never returned, but this time, with the support of the people, Deputy District Mayor Ma Yan finally got a fair trial, and the result of the trial is also very happy

Deputy District Mayor Ma Yan is an upright official, and I believe that once he is reinstated, he will naturally be able to benefit the people of Kowloon District and even Sanjiang City, which is also what everyone likes to see."

Tong Ming talked eloquently, and because he was willing to be interviewed, the reporters continued to ask Tong Ming questions.

After all, the current Tong Ming, because he is the initiator of the sit-in demonstration in front of the district government, has a certain reputation in Sanjiang City and on the Internet, so interviewing him will definitely become a topic.

"Mr. Tong Ming, why do you want to shout for Mr. Ma Yan, do you say, are you friends?"

Tong Ming smiled and said: "Now we are friends, but in the past, we didn't even know each other, let alone make any friends, I also happened to hear about an upright deputy mayor in Kowloon, but I have always been close to each other, and I haven't been able to see it."

Later, I learned that the deputy district chief had an accident, because of the crime of causing a traffic accident, he was sentenced to shuanggui, and he couldn't even get out of the door, and was placed under house arrest.

I went to the home of the deputy district chief Ma Yan to meet him, and after talking with the deputy district chief for a long time, I suddenly had a feeling of seeing each other and hating each other, and I immediately became confidants with him, as for what happened to him, I am also very sympathetic, since he is not guilty, I plan to try my best to rescue him.

Therefore, I began to entrust others to collect the Book of the People, because in Kowloon, there are many people who have been helped by Deputy Mayor Ma Yan, so when my friends implore the people to sign the Book of the People, they did not hesitate to sign it, and the collection of the Book of the People is actually not difficult. ”

"So, Mr. Tong Ming, about the many celebrities who shouted for Deputy District Mayor Ma Yan on the Internet, they were influenced by Anna to reply on Weibo, about Miss Anna, Mr. Tong Ming, do you have some friendship with her?"

The problem suddenly shifted from Deputy District Chief Ma Yan to Anna's.

These reporters present are not only current affairs reporters, but also a large part of them are also entertainment reporters

"Well, this one."

Tong Ming touched his head, if it was before, he would have weighed his answer to some extent, but now Tong Ming no longer has those concerns, because what he needs most at this time is not something that is superficial, but real fame.

"Actually, I still have some friendship with Miss Anna, so Miss Anna will help me a little."

"Can you tell us how deep your friendship is with Miss Anna?"

The reporters immediately boiled, this is big news, you know, the current Anna is the leading artist in China, and the gossip around her is very, very valuable

"Huh"

Tong Ming smiled, and said: "In fact, the friendship between me and Miss Anna is really not shallow, how to say it, at least, it is a little deeper than the relationship between friends, as for how deep, such a thing, it is inconvenient for me to continue, if you are interested, you can go straight to Miss Anna."
