Chapter Twenty-Five: In the Presence of the Crowd... (below)

Ma Jiangtao is a news reporter who runs around the ** courts every day, which is the sector he is responsible for, but unfortunately most of the cases in the city are public prosecution cases such as petty theft and disputes such as property division, unlike reporters in charge of entertainment news who always have hot news and can easily be promoted and raised.

For example, today's case is a bit bigger, a female lecturer at the university beat the director of discipline and disabled her.

The court opened at nine o'clock, and there were a lot of people who came to observe today, and the seats were full, most of them were students, and they said that this female teacher is usually very good, so why did this happen, Ma Jiangtao was aroused.

The judge struck the hammer and announced the official opening of the trial.

After the presiding judge's questioning and reading.

The prosecutor's defense lawyer began to state the claims, and it was clear that the defense lawyer was professional and well-organized.

Ma Jiangtao knew him and was one of the top lawyers in the city.

The defendant's defence lawyer was delayed, and it is possible that the female lecturer had not found a lawyer at all.

Ma Jiangtao thought that then the case would basically be closed, and the sentence would not be shorter than five years.

In the middle of the prosecutor's defense, a man suddenly walked up to the judge and said something to the judge, the judge nodded, and when the defense lawyer finished speaking, the judge suddenly announced a ten-minute adjournment.

This situation is rare, and the court was adjourned less than ten minutes after the trial began, which Ma Jiangtao found strange.

Ten minutes later, the trial reopened, and the defendant's defense lawyer was one more young man.

The people who were listening were in an uproar, "That's Chen Ge!" ”

"It's Chen Ge, how did he become a defense lawyer, isn't this nonsense, he doesn't understand anything, if it is self-defeating, it will hurt Lecturer Ma Min."

"He's from the physics department, how can he be a lawyer!"

"Silence!" The court is in session.

The presiding judge stood up and continued the previous process, "Now please ask the bailiff to take the defendant Ma Min down to court." ”

Presiding Judge: "Now let's move on to the second phase of the court's investigation. Prosecutor: You charge the defendant with the crime of intentional injury, please provide evidence. ”

The prosecutor provided an audio recording of Ma Min admitting during his interrogation that he had kicked Shi Jie, causing him a fifth-degree disability.

Presiding Judge: What is the defendant's opinion on the above evidence?

Ma Min bit her lip and didn't speak.

Presiding Judge: What is the defender's opinion on the above evidence?

Chen Ge didn't speak.

Presiding Judge: Prosecutor, please continue to present evidence.

Public Prosecutor: Please allow the victim Shi Jie to be present.

Presiding Judge: Please ask the bailiff to bring Shi Jie to court.

Presiding Judge: Ask the clerk to verify your identity.

Clerks: Presiding judges, judges, and witnesses whose identities are true.

Presiding Judge: I would like to ask the prosecutor questions.

Public Prosecutor: Shi Jie, did you negotiate with Ma Min on the morning of the 14th because of his relationship with the student, but Ma Min was angry and beat you and caused you severe harm.

Shi Jie: Yes!

Presiding Judge: Does the defender need to ask questions of witnesses?

Chen Ge: Shi Jie, you said that you were kicked by Ma Min during the negotiation with Ma Min and crippled you, right?

Shi Jie heard the word crippled by Chen Ge, gritted his teeth and said: Yes!

Chen Ge: But when you screamed, someone rushed into the office and found that you were disheveled, why is that?

Shi Jie couldn't speak, and the prosecutor's defense lawyer stood up: Your Excellency, I protest. The opposing counsel does not have the right to ask us anything other than the case of our witnesses.

Chen Ge: If you think this is something that has nothing to do with the case, please allow me to play a recording for everyone.

PRESIDING JUDGE: Yes.

Recording content: "Director, I don't know what you mean. ”

"See for yourself!"

"Director, where did you get these photos?"

"Now the whole school is in an uproar, these photos are uploaded everywhere on the Internet, and you actually ask me how I got here."

"Director, things are not what you think."

Only the sound of recorded conversations echoed in the courtroom, and every time he said a word, Shi Jie's face became grim.

"Xiaomin, my brother also told you just now, in fact, I have been paying attention to you since the first day you first came to school, and I have always treated you like your sister, and my brother has always liked you very much, do you know?"

"Director, I'm going to go back and think about this matter, if there is nothing else, I'll go back first."

There was a tugging sound.

"Director, let go, Director, let go of me!"

"Don't think about Xiao Min, I really like you, Xiao Min, just give it to me, you give it to me, I will definitely handle this matter for you! Yes!!! ”

The recording came to an abrupt end.

Chen Ge looked at Shi Jie: Now I can ask you, why did someone rush in and see you disheveled?

Chen Ge looked at the judge: Your Excellency, according to the provisions of Article 20 of the Criminal Law of our country, if an act taken to stop an unlawful infringement is taken to protect the state, the public interest, or the person, property, and other rights of oneself or others from an ongoing unlawful infringement, and causes damage to the unlawful infringer, it is justified defense and does not bear criminal responsibility. The evidence we have now provided shows that the alleged victim of the other party was committing a criminal act against the defendant at that time, and that the defendant was justified in self-defense.

Prosecutor's Lawyer: Your Excellency, I protest. The evidence presented by the opposing defence counsel was too vague to prove any conclusion. Now I would like to ask the defendant whether the recording is true.

Ma Min nodded: True.

Defense lawyer: Did the victim rape you?

Ma Min: Yes.

Defense Lawyer: So where did he go?

Ma Min stopped talking.

Chen Ge: Your Excellency, I protest that the other defense lawyer's questions have gone beyond the scope of normal questioning.

Defense Lawyer: Your Excellency, what I want to say is that Article 20 of the Criminal Law of our country stipulates that only those who stop an unlawful infringement and cause damage to the unlawful aggressor are justified defense and do not bear criminal responsibility. Now that our victim did not cause objective and factual unlawful infringement to the defendant at that time, you can imagine that listening to the recording, at most, it was only at the stage of taking off clothes, and it did not reach the point of constituting rape at all.

There was a stalemate at the trial.

Chen Ge was silent for a moment and looked at the opposing lawyer's mouth, until he stopped, looked at Chen Ge proudly, and raised a little finger in his hand vaguely.

Ma Min's vision is bleak, like being born without love.

Chen Ge slowly spoke: Article 236 of the Criminal Law of the Republic of China provides that anyone who rapes a woman by violence, coercion or other means shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years.

The defense lawyer on the other side still looked proud, even if he said what the law was for, Shi Jie's behavior was only a small obscenity at best.

Chen Ge's speech is getting faster and faster: Article 234 of the Criminal Law stipulates that the act of intentionally and illegally harming the body of another person is the crime of intentional injury. Article 384 stipulates that anyone who intentionally injures another person shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance. where serious injury is caused, the sentence is between three and ten years imprisonment; Whoever causes death or seriously injures a person by especially cruel means, causing severe disability, is to be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years, life imprisonment, or death. Those who intentionally injure the body of others are to be sentenced to up to three years imprisonment, short-term detention or controlled release. Whoever intentionally injures another person causing serious injury is to be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years. In accordance with Article 96 of the Criminal Law, the term "serious injury" here refers to any of the following circumstances: (1) mutilating a person's limbs or disfiguring their appearance; (2) Causing a person to lose hearing, vision or other organ functions; (3) Other serious harm to personal health. Among them, "other serious injuries to human health" mainly refers to complications other than the above-mentioned serious injuries that are life-threatening at the time of injury or can cause life-threatening complications during the injury, as well as other injuries that seriously affect human health, mainly including craniocerebral injury, neck injury, chest injury, abdominal injury, pelvic injury, spine and spinal cord injury, as well as burns, scalds, frostbite, electric shock injuries, injuries caused by physical, chemical or biological and other injury factors. On March 29, 1990, the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Ministry of Public Security issued the Standards for the Appraisal of Serious Human Injuries. In judicial practice, the appraisal of serious injuries is mainly carried out in accordance with the Standards for the Appraisal of Serious Human Injuries.

Chen Ge: Article 237 of Amendment 9 to the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China provides that whoever compels to commit indecent assault, insult to women, or child molestation, and who uses violence, coercion, or other methods to compel indecent assault on others or insult women, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or short-term detention.

Chen Ge: "・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ Amendments to China's Criminal Law"

“・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・”

said more than a dozen laws and regulations that seemed unrelated but related to Ma Min's matter in one breath.

"Based on the above regulations," Chen Ge looked at Shi Jie, "I want to defend the defendant's innocence, and appeal against Shi Jie's series of indecent rapes!" ”

Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded!

In the auditorium, Li Yue turned into a repeater, "Cao Cao Cao Noisy............ Xueyou, this is a machine gun! ”

Pei Huadong leaned over, "Li Yue, why do you still change your voice in these cursive words." ”

Li Yue said a phrase on the Internet that would catch fire in a few years, "Nonsense, scared the baby to death!" ”
