Chapter 159: Acquittal
Lawyer Zhou is Zero's defense lawyer, so he is an opponent with Prosecutor Tao, coupled with the conspiracy of the Qian family, the current situation can be said to be very unfavorable to Zero, and at this time, Prosecutor Tao deliberately said such sarcastic words, which can be seen that he wants to humiliate Lawyer Zhou.
The controversy between the two has never stopped since the moment they went to court, one is a person who has worked in the procuratorate for many years, and the other is a lawyer who is not well-known, so Prosecutor Tao has a certain advantage at the beginning.
Moreover, many people think that Mr. Zhou has no ability, he has just been a formality, and he never thought that he could change the whole situation. The two met together today, and Prosecutor Tao just made a remark about severe punishment, so many reporters are happy to see that the two people start to fight each other, and it is best to fight for it, so there is a lot of hot material to write.
Lawyer Zhou frowned, it was obvious that he didn't like this atmosphere, but fortunately he didn't get mad on the spot, and said in a deep voice: "For my client, all I can say is to believe in the judge's judgment, they will make a fair decision, at least not let some villains succeed." ”
"Villain?" This ignited the reporter's curiosity, so they said: "Lawyer Zhou, who are some of the villains you are talking about?" ”
"There is still one minute before the court starts, please let me go." Lawyer Zhou said in a deep voice, walking calmly towards the courtroom, not wanting to say anything more at all.
Seeing that Lawyer Zhou left, those reporters felt very sorry that they couldn't ask who some villains were, and soon they turned their attention to Prosecutor Tao, but by this time it was too late, and the people had already walked into the courtroom.
A minute later, the presiding judge, the judge and other personnel walked into the courtroom one after another and sat in their positions, and at the same time, the seats were also full of people, Song Yi's father and daughter sat in the front row, very close to the defendant's seat. Prosecutor Tao, Lawyer Zhou and others also sat in their positions, and at this time Zero was taken out by the police.
As soon as Song Xiaobei saw Zero, her heart immediately hung high, her bright eyes were full of worry, her eyebrows exuded a hint of anxiety, and a pair of jade hands were tightly put together and placed on her chest, which showed how worried she was about Zero at this moment.
Seeing his daughter's expression, Song Yi had no choice but to reach out and pat her on the shoulder, signaling her not to be too anxious. Last time, it was because Song Xiaobei was too anxious and disrupted the order in the court, if Song Yi hadn't reacted fast enough, he might have been detained for a few days.
Therefore, this time he didn't want his daughter to make such a mistake, and reminded in a low voice: "Xiaobei, no matter what the verdict is this time, you can't make trouble in court and disrupt the order, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble, which not only does not help Zero, but has a great impact." ”
"I see, I'm not going to make trouble." Song Xiaobei pursed his lips, nodded and said, and then focused on Zero, silently praying in his heart that Zero would not be convicted, would not be charged in any way, and would be released on the spot today.
The moment Zero walked into the courtroom, he naturally saw Song Xiaobei, smiled at her and turned around, he was 90% sure of today's verdict. After all, the Ministry of State Security is a very special existence, and the local political axe, courts, and police stations have to pay attention to it, unless it is an idiot or a brain in water, no one wants to compete with the Ministry of Security.
The presiding judge calmed down, knocked it with a hammer, and said in a deep voice: "Today is the time to announce the verdict, after two days of discussion, investigation, and evidence collection, the jury has already made a decision, when the verdict is announced, whether it is agreed or not, it is not allowed to make trouble in court, otherwise it will be severely punished." ”
Prosecutor Tao nodded, a sneer appeared on his face, in his heart he already thought that zero was convicted, and it was very harsh, if it was not a death penalty, at least it would be a life sentence, so that he could complete the task.
It can be said that 99% of people think that Zero has no chance to turn over at all, in the face of evidence, everything is pale and powerless, and there is the participation of rich families, as long as they are not idiots, they all understand what kind of trial this is, and in the end Zero will definitely be convicted.
Some of the people in the audience were sent by the Qian family, and they reported the verdict as soon as possible, so they were all arrogant and had a cold smile on their faces. None of them thought that Zero would be acquitted, because that possibility simply did not exist.
Anyone who offends the Qian family will not end well, it was like this in the past, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future, this is a powerful family. At the same time, this verdict is also equivalent to sending a signal to others that the Qian family is not something that everyone can mess with.
Song Xiaobei's heart tightened, her eyes were wide open, nervous, worried, anxious, afraid and other emotions enveloped the whole person, and the atmosphere at the scene became majestic and depressed, everyone was waiting for the presiding judge to announce the verdict.
At this time, Lawyer Zhou, Prosecutor Tao and others couldn't do anything, the only thing they could do was to wait, and both of them had different changes in their hearts. Prosecutor Tao was a little excited because he was about to complete his task, while Lawyer Zhou was a little worried.
If there are people present who can remain calm, there is only zero. At this moment, there was no panicked expression on her face, nor any expression of fear, it was completely like a calm lake, without a trace of ripples, and what was presented was steady and calm.
"Boy, at this time, you still pretend to be calm, I really don't know if you are stupid or arrogant." Prosecutor Tao said secretly, seeing that Zero was still calm and comfortable, he sneered in his heart, and there was more of a look of disdain and disdain in his eyes.
"Dad, what should I do, Zero will definitely be released, right?" Song Xiaobei felt that he had some difficulty breathing, as if he was pressed by a mountain, he was a little out of breath, the worry on his face was deeply revealed, and one hand was still covering his chest.
At this time, Song Yi didn't know what to say, so he could only pat his daughter gently, hoping that this moment would pass as soon as possible.
"Now announce the verdict and everyone stands." The presiding judge's majestic voice sounded, looking at everyone with a serious face, and after everyone stood up, the result was read out, "After the investigation, evidence collection, and discussion of the sentencing team, zero intentional homicide was released in court due to insufficient evidence." ”
When the presiding judge spoke, there was a brief silence in the courtroom, and it can be said that many people were shocked, especially those who did not believe that Zero could be innocent, and they could not understand why this was the case.
On the other hand, Song Xiaobei and others, after listening to the verdict, these people were first stunned, and then their faces all showed excitement, the mountain on their bodies finally disappeared, and the whole person felt a lot more relaxed, and there was no longer the tension, worry, and fear that they had before.
"yes" Song Xiaobei shouted excitedly, she was extremely excited at this moment, nervousness, fear, worry and other emotions have been enveloping her in the past few days, making her eat badly, sleep badly, and the spirit of the whole person has become very poor, and now she hears that Zero was acquitted, not to mention how happy she is, "Dad, we won, we won!" ”
Song Yi also nodded heavily, he was also very surprised by this result, because the Qian family was very strong in the whole process, and those evidences caused a lot of damage to Zero, so if you want to be acquitted, it is undoubtedly more difficult than ascending to the sky.
"How is it possible, how can this be, Presiding Judge, I protest!" Prosecutor Tao stood up in anger, which was not the result he wanted, and at the same time, it was not a planned course development, which was completely beyond his expectations and control.
Those people sent by the Qian family also had this idea, they did not agree with this verdict, but because they did not have any qualifications, they did not dare to protest in court, oppose or make trouble, otherwise they would definitely be severely punished.
"The protest is invalid, this is the decision made by the jury, if there is any doubt, please follow the procedure." The presiding judge refused Prosecutor Tao's protest with a dignified face, and then struck it with a hammer, "Zero acquittal, leave the courtroom." ”
At this moment, Zero smiled, it was a triumphant smile, the handcuffs were also opened, and he walked down from the dock, and then a figure quickly flew over, and before he could see the figure clearly, he felt a fragrance coming to his nose, followed by a soft approach.
"I knew you'd be fine, I knew it was going to be like this." Song Xiaobei's face was full of excited smiles, and the whole person hung on Zero's body like a koala, no matter how many people were at the scene, and no matter how ambiguous the posture of the two was at this moment.
Zero patted Song Xiaobei on the back and chuckled: "Hehe, I always thought that the jury would give a fair verdict and would not let innocent people suffer." ”
"Zero, congratulations on your innocence." Lawyer Zhou and others also came over, this is a sincere congratulations, for this case, he and his assistant do not know how long they have been busy, they don't know how many difficulties they have encountered, and even his life has been threatened.
However, when the judge acquitted him, Mr. Zhou felt that it was all worth it.
"Thank you for being busy with my business, and I'm grateful for that." Zero stretched out his hand and shook Lawyer Zhou's hand, because Song Xiaobei's whole person was hanging on Zero's body, so the handshake was not very flexible.
"Well, this is not the place to talk, let's go home." As an elder, although Song Yi was also very happy in his heart, he still controlled it, "Xiaobei, come down quickly, there are many people watching here, and a girl's family doesn't know how to be ashamed?" (To be continued.) )
