Chapter 386: Retracting a confession in court
At 8 o'clock in the morning, in the trial hall of the Yuandong District People's Court, people from all walks of life crowded over and lined up early, because there was an important case to be tried today.
The staff of the court erected a human wall to maintain order, and the high-profile "second generation of officials" Song Zhenjiang was suspected of rape ~ The case was tried today.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the police car escorting Song Zhenjiang slowly drove into the courtyard, and all media reporters and related personnel entered the venue one after another, including many people who did not have observer certificates, standing in the hall outside and staring at the images transmitted on the screen.
At half past nine, the trial of the case began on time, and with the entry of the judges, all the observers stood up to greet them, and the solemn occasion made people hold their breath, and the judge hammered and the trial began on time.
The plaintiff, the defendant, the prosecutor, and the defendant's defense lawyer are all in a state of work, and under the auspices of the judge, you ask questions and I answer,-for-tat. Song Dongqing, who was hiding in the corner of the auditorium, was tense all over his body and his expression was solemn.
Suddenly, with a question, the audience burst into an exclamation, and everyone's eyes widened in unimaginability. Song Dongqing leaned forward unconsciously, and couldn't bear the surprise in his heart! What's the situation?
The plaintiff's defense lawyer obviously did not expect the answer just now, and confirmed again: "Victim, let me ask you again, please answer truthfully, are you sure that the defendant forcibly had sex with you?" ”
The victim was a young girl who had never seen such a scene, and trembled: "I can't be sure that we are... Romantic relationship, talked for two months. As soon as this sentence came out, the audience exclaimed, this is the most critical element of conviction, did this little girl take the wrong medicine?
The prosecutor is a comrade of the procuratorate, and when he heard this, he was also a little anxious, "Plaintiff, please stay sober and tell me calmly, what is your relationship with the defendant?" ”
The plaintiff was a little frightened and replied wryly: "We have been in a relationship for two months. ”
"Please tell me about that night." The defendant's defense lawyer then asked.
"That night, Zhenjiang called me to eat, and after dinner, we went to sing, and he bought me flowers, and it was midnight... I didn't leave, I was a little sleepy and fell asleep...... After a few hours, I felt that someone was lying on top of me, and when I saw that it was Song Zhenjiang, I was a little scared, and asked him not to mess around, but he didn't want to, and then he ......, "The little girl is a little embarrassed, after all, there are people in a room."
When the prosecutor heard this, he immediately interrupted her, "How is this different from your previous narrative?" What you said before was ......"
"Judge, I think the prosecution is inducing the plaintiff, I protest!" At this time, the defense lawyer loudly pleaded with the judge to rule. The judge motioned for silence, "The defense lawyer continued to ask questions, and the prosecution paused questions." ”
"Plaintiff, let me ask you, what is your relationship with Song Zhenjiang? What does he do to you? The defense lawyer continued to question.
The prosecution disagreed again and interrupted the questioning, "Judge, we believe that the defense is asking questions that are not related to the case, and we ask that it be stopped. ”
The defense then said: "Judge, I am just reflecting the psychology and will of the plaintiff at that time, please allow me to ask." ”
The judge and several collegial members next to him deliberated, "The court adopts the defender's account, please continue to ask questions." ”
The little girl continued: "Song Zhenjiang is very good to me, I am a southerner, I have no relatives here, he helped me rent a house and give me money. Still... Sometimes overnight in a rental house. ”
As soon as this sentence came out, there was another uproar, the reporters in the auditorium were stunned, everyone was whispering, there was a lot of noise in the courtroom, and the judge struck the hammer: "Everyone is quiet, keep quiet above the courtroom." ”
The prosecution was anxious: "Judge, we request to present a material, which is the plaintiff's confession some time ago, which is diametrically opposed to today's answer. ”
The judge replied, "Please show it." ”
The prosecutor handed the materials to the staff and handed them to the judge, while a picture of the materials was shown on the courtroom display, and the judge read it and motioned for the prosecution to read out the confession in court. The prosecution took the material: "... That night, Song Zhenjiang drunk me and forcibly had sex with me, I struggled, he punched me, saying that it was dishonest, and he beat me to death......"
In the blink of an eye, two different confessions appeared, one was the original interrogation and the other was interrogated in court, and this factor was related to the direction of the conviction.
The judge turned his head to discuss with the collegial staff and knocked on the hammer, "After the collegial panel deliberates, due to the huge differences in the trial of the case, the trial is suspended, and the prosecution will continue to supplement the evidence, and the trial time will be notified separately." ”
When the judge finished saying this, everyone in the hall was stunned and in an uproar, Song Dongqing stood up and watched his son leave the courtroom. I had long known that Li Zhongxin would help, but I didn't expect it to be through this means!
…………
At this time, in the office of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Yuandong District, Wu Shuhua was extremely angry, this is obviously a confession! He immediately picked up the materials and went to Luo Daming to report, because this case was personally instructed by Luo Daming to be objective and fair, and not to be disturbed in any way.
"What do you say? The victim retracted his confession on the spot? After listening to the report, Luo Daming's expression was incredible. Wu Shuhua took the materials, "This is what the victim personally answered during the preliminary investigation, and it changed when he arrived in the courtroom." ”
"The district party committee has always demanded strict handling, and even increased punishment, but now it's okay, if the strict handling doesn't succeed, it will become a retraction of confession!" Luo Daming muttered. Wu Shuhua was like an ant on a hot pot, and his face was even more ugly, "Luo Ju, the situation is like this, do you want to report to the Political and Legal Committee first." ”
"Wait, this suspect is so strange, he must have been stimulated by something or was publicized, and now the online media has seriously questioned the credibility of our local government, and it is estimated that the district party committee and district government will ask about it soon." Your priority now is to investigate, who has been in contact with the victim in recent times? Luo Daming's thinking reacted quickly enough, he made the worst plan, if he was really publicized, this victim must have been benefited or intimidated.
Wu Shuhua nodded, "I understand, Luo Ju." ”
"Go ahead, you must be careful, don't startle the snake, report the problem immediately!" Luo Daming said in a low voice.
After Wu Shuhua left, Luo Daming thought about it and decided to go to Yang Zinian in person, although he said that the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee had a lot of bad ideas, but at least a few things had to be reported in person.
"Why did you come here, but you're a rare guest." Yang Zinian was tinkering with some broken cameras in his collection, and when he saw Luo Daming walking in, he was a little curious, this was originally the counterpart department, and it was only right to come over often, and this sentence also reflected from the side that Yang Zinian was a little dissatisfied with this matter.
Luo Daming walked over, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Yang Zinian's broken camera, "These old antiques are really precious." ”
"You know?" Yang Zinian looked up and asked. Luo Daming immediately waved his hand: "I don't understand, I don't have such leisure, I have encountered a problem, come and report to you." ”
"Oh, can you still remember me?"
Luo Daming rubbed his hands, "No, you are my leader, the boss in charge." ”
Yang Zinian picked up an old-fashioned point-and-shoot camera and blew it, "Look at this camera, fool and fool, although the name is a bit bland and even clumsy, but it knows how to be known, focuses on life, never wants to be ambitious, and leaves a real view for the world." ”
Luo Daming's heart moved, "Yes, it's okay to focus, the key is to be flexible if you don't understand, you can't keep up with the trend, or you are kicked out of the historical stage, you can only be an old antique." ”
When Yang Zinian heard this, he threw the point-and-shoot camera, "Tell me, my big director, what's the matter?" ”
"Song Dongqing's son, I'm afraid that case will disappoint you, the victim retracted his confession in court and admitted that he was in a lover relationship with the defendant." Luo Daming briefly summed it up. Yang Zinian looked surprised: "How can it be like this, are we not protecting the victims?" ”
"Before the trial, we kept in touch with the victim, and there may have been more things recently, so we didn't send people to monitor them 24 hours a day." Luo Daming replied.
Yang Zinian pointed at him: "Lao Luo, what's going on with your work, so negligent, the court will be held soon, and there is still such a thing?" ”
"You don't know, we recently received a big case, which is the land of Jiangdong Steel Mill. By the way, by the way, I would like to report to you that we have arrested Yang Muqi, the former general manager of Jiangdong Iron and Steel Chief, by compulsory measures! Luo Daming came here this time to report two things, and he took this opportunity to say it.
"Yang... Muki? I'm not impressed, what's wrong with him? "Yang Zinian's performance is very realistic, and I still don't remember after thinking about it for a long time.
Luo Daming's expression was free and easy: "I used to be the general manager, and now I am the chairman of the Ridong Iron and Steel Plant, at the department level. As soon as this sentence came out, it aroused Yang Zinian's strong desire for knowledge, "What's the matter, you are creating evil, who gave you the power to arrest a powerful person at the department level, who is it?" ”
"Don't be so excited, okay?" Luo Daming was extremely excited when he saw him, so he could only persuade him.
Yang Zinian immediately pointed to the office door, "You hurry up, let him go first, you are harming me!" I am the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and I am going to go home after the blame, I have been cautious all my life, and I have never made any mistakes. ”
"Then I thought you already knew, Secretary Si came over two days ago, didn't you accompany him, he didn't mention it?" Luo Daming wanted to pierce him, and wanted to slap him to death when he saw him acting.
Yang Zinian was stunned, "No, this is the first time I've heard of it." ”
