Chapter 41: Case Closed
Lu Jiangdan clenched the wooden fence with both hands and shook it, and yelled at him excitedly. "You are talking nonsense, it was the boss who tried to insult me, so I left."
"I oppose it, and I oppose the prosecution without real evidence and make judgments." Wei Muting immediately stood up and said.
Seeing Lu Jiangdan's eyes scarlet and unwilling to be humiliated, Wei Muting continued, "My client is a little emotional, and I ask for an adjournment. ”
"Mom, Mom looks at me! I'm Yaluo! Gu Yaluo shouted at Lu Jiangdan.
Lu Jiangdan heard Gu Yaluo's ethereal voice, calmed down, and slowly turned his head to Gu Yaluo.
"Mom, calm down, look at us, we believe in you." Gu Yaluo slowly comforted her and said, "The reason why the prosecutor said this is his duty, his purpose is to provoke you, and people are prone to make mistakes when they are angry. ”
"Jiang Dan calm down." Jiang Huifen comforted, "We all know that you didn't kill anyone, so if you become a prosecutor, it's just a fart." ”
"Poof......" everyone in the audience pursed their lips and snickered.
Ling Yaobang clenched his hands angrily, not angry, not angry, they were just angry with themselves.
Lu Jiangdan calmed down and looked at the judge and lawyer with an apologetic expression.
"Is it okay for the defendant?" The judge looked at Lu Jiangdan and asked.
"Yes!" Lu Jiangdan took a deep breath and said.
"The prosecution can get started." The judge said.
Ling Yaobang walked to the defendant's dock and asked, "The defendant, please answer me, in addition to Mrs. Ji's coming on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, are there any other people in the family?" ”
"Yes!" Lu Jiangdan replied.
"What are these people here for?" Ling Yaobang asked.
Lu Jiangdan lowered his head and said embarrassedly, "They are here to ask for debts." ”
"Does the defendant owe a lot of money to someone else?" Ling Yaobang asked.
"The money owed to others was paid off in full in thirty nights." Lu Jiangdan said in a weak mosquito voice.
"Paid off? How much did you pay back? Ling Yaobang asked again.
"My full salary." Lu Jiangdan whispered.
"According to the confessions of the landlady and the tenants, the defendant is alone with three children, especially the youngest daughter, who is frail and sickly and often takes medicine, so she lives in a very difficult situation." Ling Yaobang then asked, "Is the 100 pounds of the defendant very important to you?" ”
"Yes!" Lu Jiangdan nodded and admitted, "If it weren't for the greed in my heart, this hundred pounds, I wouldn't have suffered an unwarranted disaster." ”
"Huh...... I have to admit that the defendant was very shrewd, and that the murder was punishable by hanging, and that he had only picked up the money. It will only be morally critical, and there will be no legal responsibility. Needless to say, smart people know which one to choose! Ling Yaobang turned to look at the jury and said, "The defendant's life is very poor, and all the money and property were used to pay off the debt at thirty nights, according to her words, I went out to look for a short-term job on the morning of the first day of the new year, but unfortunately I didn't find it." He turned around and looked at Lu Jiangdan aggressively, "And when he met the deceased, he accosted the deceased, but the deceased rejected her, and she saw the wealth and beat the deceased to death in the back while the deceased was not paying attention." ”
"Oppose, oppose the prosecutor's speculation and wanton slander of my client." Wei Muting said.
"No, I didn't kill anyone, you wronged me, I didn't talk to the dead, and I didn't kill anyone." Lu Jiangdan said excitedly.
"Bastard! He actually slandered his mother as a street warbler. Gu Zhanyan scolded directly.
"Calm down, he just wants to provoke people." Gu Zhanshuo tugged at his sleeve and said.
Next, the prosecution and defense had a heated debate on Lu Jiangdan's character until the judge announced his withdrawal from the courtroom.
The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it for a long time.
How can it be clear in such a short period of time, it is just that the public says that the public is justified, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, depending on how the jury subjectively looks at it.
After a fierce argument, the judge announced his retirement.
&*&
It's the beginning of a new day.
"Today is the last lesson, it's time to pronounce the sentence." Lu Zhongfu sat on a bench outside the courtroom.
"I don't know if Jiang Dan will ......," Jiang Huifen said and shed tears.
"Grandma, Mom must be fine! Don't cry! Gu Zhanyan stepped forward and persuaded.
"Old woman, don't cry, let's go in, don't let Jiang Dan see it, it's time to be sad." Lu Zhongfu pulled up Jiang Huifen, who was sitting on the bench, and said, "I will never give up until the last moment." ”
Since the verdict is to be pronounced today, the Fu Ji Tea Restaurant has hung up a sign that the proprietor has something to do and is closed, and everyone is here.
Inside the courtroom
"All the witnesses have testified, and the defense lawyer can begin his final arguments," the judge said. ”
Wei Muting stood up and said, "Your Excellency, the jury, after so many days of hearings, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the facts of the case, whether the defendant murdered the deceased. The answer is no.
According to the autopsy report of the deceased, as well as the signs left at the scene, the killer was extremely cruel, the deceased was hit hard in the back of the head at least ten times, and there were perverted tendencies. The defendant Lu Jiangdan is only 1.62 meters, and a woman actually killed a man who was six feet and two inches tall! The defendant didn't have the slightest scars on his body! I don't know if this woman is infinitely powerful! Or the dead are too weak.
It was the defendant who was poor and short of money, but the defendant was arrested at the scene, and she only had one hundred pounds on the deceased. Then the deceased's wallet, watch, ring, and even his cufflinks are diamonds. Why are they all gone? According to the prosecution, the defendant is interested in making money, so there is no reason to let go of these valuable things. What does this prove? Prove that a third party was present at the scene of the crime.
There is also the first witness of the prosecution, who can only prove that the defendant was sitting at the scene, remember that he was sitting at the scene, but the witness did not personally witness the murder of the deceased by the defendant with a murder weapon. Therefore, his testimony can only prove that the defendant was present at the scene of the crime. But this does not prove that the defendant killed someone. There is also the fingerprint on the murder weapon, which has been confirmed that it is impossible to attack people in that way. As for the prosecution's so-called accosting, since the deceased was unwilling, why did he follow the defendant into the dead alley, he could have just walked away. The two parties did not have any physical contact after examination, and based on the above points, it can be proved that the defendant had no motive to kill. And we don't have enough evidence to prove that the defendant committed the murder. Therefore, I once again implore the judge and the jury to acquit the defendant. ”
Wei Muting's words fell, but what appeared at the scene was "Wow...... With such a long paragraph, the defense lawyer didn't stutter! ”
The focus is on Wermutin, not on whether the defendant is guilty or not. indirectly proves how this lawsuit has been won or lost.
Ling Yaobang stood up and said, "Your Excellency, jurors, ......."
The prosecutor attacked Lu Jiangdan in terms of conduct and character, and almost made it clear that she was a fox spirit and a warbler on the street.
The angry brothers Gu Zhanshuo and Zhanyan couldn't wait to go up and tear up the prosecutor.
Fortunately, Gu Yaluo and Lu Zhongfu pressed these two angry boys.
The judge adjourned, and everyone had to wait outside for the outcome of the jury's deliberations outside the courtroom.
The family waited from the afternoon court session to the end of work in the afternoon, "Dad, Mom, how is it still unresolved?" ”
Lu Jiangfan and Lu Jiangchuan hurriedly ran in.
"The jury is still deliberating?" Jiang Huifen said worriedly.
"Controversy is a good thing, and controversy shows that Jiang Dan did not kill anyone." Lu Jiangfan hurriedly said.
"That is, that is, if there is one opinion, either guilty or not guilty. After deliberating for so long, it also shows the rigor and prudence of the jury. Lu Jiangchuan actively agreed.
"Hopefully! I have borrowed your good words. Lu Zhongfu's dark eyes looked at the door of the courtroom expectantly.
At the call of the staff, everyone re-entered the courtroom.
The judge said, "After several days of trial and out-of-court deliberation with the jury, the result is finally reached today." May I ask the jury whether the defendant Lu Jiangdan is guilty of murder. ”
The lead juror stood with his hands behind his back and said, "The jury unanimously found that the defendant Lu Jiangdan was charged with manslaughter and murder ......"
Lu Jiangdan closed his eyes in fear.
"Not true!"
"Mom, Dad." Lu Jiangdan excitedly stretched out his hand from the wooden fence and grabbed them.
"Mom, it's okay, it's okay." The twin brothers shouted excitedly with joy.
"Jiang Dan, it's okay, it's safe!" Jiang Huifen was in tears
"Sister-in-law, that's great." Chen Annie and Zhu Cuiyun said happily.
"Silence!" The judge shouted.
The lead juror continued, "The jury unanimously acquitted the defendant Lu Jiangdan of murder and manslaughter by a vote of seven to zero, and we believe that the defendant is innocent and the murderer is someone else. Therefore, it is recommended that the police set up a special team to continue the investigation. ”
"Since the jury unanimously found the defendant not guilty, this seat acquitted the defendant Lu Jiangdan and released him on the spot." The judge announced, "Leave the courtroom!" ”
Lu Jiangdan rushed out of the dock, "Dad, mom, children, eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, younger brother." "Hug them tightly.
