Chapter 305: Preferential Treatment
But no one would interrupt him.
You must know that even if you are not the presiding judge, you are also a member of the collegial panel, and the judge in the court is the largest, and you can say whatever you want, no matter how powerful and famous you Yu Wenzhong is, you can't interrupt the members of the collegial panel to express their views.
This insinuating clichΓ© made Yu Wenzhong's face change again and again, and he was full of ambition and wanted to refute, but when he opened his mouth, he heard Lan Gang speak: "It's the court investigation stage, and it's not yet time for the court to debate, the defender can express his opinion, but don't start the debate, let alone debate with the members of the collegial panel, understand?" β
and blocked him back with a sentence that came to his lips.
These three people, singing and harmonizing, are definitely deliberate.
It's just that he was careless for a while, and he looked down on these two little-known so-called full-time committee members, who turned out to be old foxes who had become sophisticated.
They didn't say anything, but they said everything.
In the end, I had to sit down.
Yu Wenzhong warned himself that the five on the trial table were not easy to deal with, and the next trial would have to cheer up.
He was stunned for a few seconds, and only when he sat down and heard the presiding judge "ask the victim's family lawyer to ask questions of the defendant" before he reacted.
Nima, I knew that I wouldn't play any new thing of jurisdictional objection, I originally wanted to make some gimmicks, but I was fooled by the old fox and forgot all about business.
As soon as she turned her head and saw Qi Wan, the girl was a little depressed: "Teacher, just now the presiding judge asked you if you had anything else to ask, you were in a daze and missed it." β
Yu Wenzhong couldn't wait to give himself a big mouth, and when he saw Ling Li's posture of asking questions, he quickly objected: "Presiding judge, we oppose the victim's lawyer asking questions to the defendant. They are only attached to the civil litigation agency relationship and cannot express an opinion on the criminal part. β
Lan Gang almost didn't raise his head, and directly denied Yu Wenzhong's proposal: "It has been announced before the trial that this is a lawyer entrusted by the victim's family, and he has the right to question the defendant in court." β
Yu Wenzhong still wanted to argue, but the great god of Zhenshan said leisurely: "Article 155 of the Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that the victim, the plaintiff and the defender and the agent ad litem in the attached civil lawsuit may, with the permission of the presiding judge, ask questions to the defendant. β
He spoke very slowly, a pair of reading glasses were loosely rested on the bridge of his nose, and as soon as he lowered his head, he slipped into the middle of the bridge of his nose, which looked funny, but Yu Wenzhong did not dare to underestimate it.
He also saw that this Ye Special Committee was placed here specifically for him. If what he says is based on the law, this person is just a decoration, and once what he says is the slightest inconsistency with the laws, regulations, and judicial interpretations, this person will immediately jump out and recite a large paragraph of the original text of the law to refute him.
It's a bit embarrassing, sometimes when it comes to rising, a long-winded performance is average, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, not to mention that pulling something irrelevant to stun the judge is originally a strategy, which puts a mobile code here, so that he has to think twice before he speaks, which is really insidious.
It's okay not to say it, but it's embarrassing to say it wrong, especially when there are so many media members present.
Losing a lawsuit is a small matter, but smashing your own signboard is a big matter, not to mention, it is impossible to lose this lawsuit at all.
Thinking of this, he had some bottom in his heart, smiled at the judgment seat, and said no more.
Ling Li had an unspeakable admiration for the old man on the judgment seat, and she was also glad that such a great god was not targeting her.
But this is also Yu Wenzhong's own doing, who called him heaven and earth just wanted to pull the eyeballs, and really thought that the court had no means to clean him up?
It's just that in this trial, the court has always been in the position of the middle referee, even if she can arrange a great god to help her eliminate the entanglement from Yu Wenzhong, this is only an auxiliary effect.
Where is it so easy to get Zheng Qijie to admit the evil he has done? In particular, there is also the presence of Yu Wenzhong.
Whether she can sing the leading role or not depends on her next performance.
Ling Li took a deep breath, looked at Zheng Qijie, who was motionless like a clay sculpture, and began to ask: "Tang Aoxue's mother proposed 1.2 million incidental civil compensation, are you willing to compensate for this?" β
Zheng Qijie didn't reply for a long time, and such an ordinary question couldn't arouse the sensitivity of others present.
Ling Li pursed her lips, ended the wait, and continued to the next question: "Before the trial, I contacted your parents, and they did not agree with the amount proposed by our client, however, they proposed a compensation of 50,000 yuan in exchange for an understanding agreement. β
As soon as the words "understanding agreement" came out, Zheng Qijie was finally willing to raise his eyelids to look at Ling Li.
He seemed to have no memory of the previous meeting, and his eyes were full of strangeness, but it did not prevent him from calmly expressing his opinion: "I didn't do it, and I don't need to understand." β
Yu Wenzhong finally found an opportunity to interject: "The defendant has already stated just now that he does not recognize all the accusations of the public prosecution, and the opinions of the defendants' parents in the civil part do not represent the opinions of the defendants and are not for reference. β
Lan Gang didn't interrupt Yu Wenzhong's performance, he just ignored it and motioned for Ling Li to continue.
Ling Li opened the file in her hand and asked, "Zheng Qijie, according to the police's many visits to your neighbors, relatives, classmates and teachers, they all reported that before you went abroad to study, you had injured, abused, and even killed cats, dogs, parrots and other small animals many times, is it true?" β
Zheng Qijie was silent, looking down at his toes, not moving, and the courtroom was unusually quiet.
Ling Li was helpless, so she had no choice but to look at the trial seat: "Presiding judge, the question I asked just now was to prove that the defendant had violent tendencies and even antisocial tendencies since he was a child, and he did not answer the question, however, in the evidence catalog, the testimony from the investigation and collection of evidence by the police is located atββ"
After she said the location of the evidence, she continued to ask Zheng Qijie: "We know from many sources, and it has been confirmed that when you were a child, your parents disciplined you very strictly, and you would be beaten if you didn't get the first place in the exam, is there any connection between this and your violent tendencies later?" β
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Wenzhong had already protested: "The opposing lawyer's inducing question, and the question asked has nothing to do with the facts of this case, please pay attention to the presiding judge." β
Lan Gang pondered for a few seconds and made a judgment: "The defendant does not need to answer the question just now, and this court once again reminds the victim's family to entrust a lawyer to pay attention to the fact that please ask questions around the facts of the case, and do not make unnecessary expansions or ask questions that are too hypothetical." β
A hint of pride flashed in Yu Wenzhong's eyes.
Ling Li's question, although it was not expected by him, was not a strange trick. Based on the defendant's experience when he was a child, it is reasonable to infer that the defendant was psychologically extreme and had violent tendencies, so he committed an outrageous and cruel act in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is not a motive for the crime in the legal sense.
Moreover, it is not easy to refute it.
He doesn't care at all whether Zheng Qijie is a pervert or not, he only knows that there is no hard evidence in this case.
Criminal proceedings are focused on the elimination of reasonable doubt, as long as there is the slightest possibility that the defendant did not commit a crime, then there is a chance to get away with the crime, let alone such a case where the victim's torso cannot be found, the tools of the crime cannot be found, and the scene of the crime cannot be found.
The little lawyer opposite, if she honestly admits defeat, it is fine, if she wants to play any tricks, she will inevitably make a fool of herself in front of everyone.
Ling Li didn't get answers to two questions in a row, but there was no frustrated expression on his face, and he was not in a hurry at all.
If he can't win such a case, then he should really get out of the legal profession.
Ling Li didn't get answers to two questions in a row, but there was no frustrated expression on his face, and he was not in a hurry at all.
As for the next question, she slowed down the speed of her questioning: "Then may I ask, do you know Tang Aoxue's mentor during his master's degree, Huang Zhicong?" β
Zheng Qijie raised his head, a hint of mockery slipped through his eyes, the corners of his mouth hooked up a slight arc, and answered Ling Li's question for the second time: "Professor Huang? I know her, she doesn't know me. It's just that now that I'm so famous, she's afraid she knows about me. β
"Then do you know, Professor Huang Zhicong's spouse, Li Zejun, vice president of Jincheng College?"
Zheng Qijie's eyes showed a hint of surprise for the first time, but after a few seconds, he had recovered his previous calm and replied: "President Li has been the vice principal for many years, and I naturally know him. But just like just now, before I was detained, I was afraid that he didn't know me. β
As soon as he finished answering, Yu Wenzhong couldn't wait to obstruct again: "Presiding judge, I request that the opposing lawyer be reminded to ask questions about the facts of this case again." β
Ling Li immediately responded, looking sideways at the trial seat: "Presiding judge, these questions seem to have nothing to do with this case, but in fact they constitute a rigorous whole, I hope to give me some time and space for me to prove this." β
The five people on the trial seat frowned, and Yu Wenzhong was a little breathless: "This is the same as the round of questions just now, it is a complete waste of time." β
The expert committee Ye who had no words in front of him just now but could make a long speech about reciting the law and embarrassing people slowly turned his head and looked at Yu Wenzhong: "Lawyer of the defendant, please don't make a judgment on behalf of the collegial panel. β
Yu Wenzhong's expression was full of resentment, and the words of protest were already in his mouth, and he finally swallowed after some consideration.
He has been invincible for so many years, and it is not that he has not been saddened by the judges on the trial seat, but the face he lost on the table has been recovered through the media after he came down.
He was the most fierce, and even couldn't withstand the pressure of public opinion and took the initiative to ask to be transferred from the trial post.
But today, this Ye special committee always gave him a bad feeling.
I always felt that this person had a great background, and the more I looked at it, the more familiar it became, but I never remembered where I heard this name.
Yu Wenzhong was still searching for the information of today's old judge who was specifically targeting him in his memory, Lan Gang raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and reminded Ling Li in words: "The victim's family entrusts a lawyer, although it is said that finding out the truth is one of the important meanings of the trial, but please pay attention to the time." β
"Okay, presiding judge," Ling Li nodded, "If I ask three more questions, I won't ask any more questions about the relationship between Huang Zhicong, Li Zejun, and the defendant." β
Hearing that there were only three questions, Yu Wenzhong's expression calmed down, and Qi Wan, who was handing him the information next to him, also had a much calmer expression.
Ling Li knew that it would not be easy to find a breakthrough from Zheng Qijie, but since he had decided to do it, he couldn't give up easily.
Yu Wenzhong wanted her to make a fool of herself in court, and she knew this very well. However, she is no longer alone in facing his criticism, not to mention, she still has an important task on her shoulders.
She must restore the connection between Zheng Qijie, Li Zejun, and Tang Aoxue in a simple and direct way in the trial, so that everyone can quickly understand and agree with her reasoning.
