Chapter 547: Juror Selection

Although Kan Yu did not cooperate, he still signed the document of entrusting Sima Qiqi as his defense lawyer, because he told Kan Yu that in the entire Shuzhong City, except for Sima Qiqi, no one was willing to take his case, and he also took a bunch of materials to Kan Yu, all of which talked about Sima Qiqi's past achievements as a female criminal defense lawyer.

Although Kan Yu doesn't know how to evaluate whether a lawyer is excellent or not, seeing so many reports about Sima Qiqi, the brand effect will also make Kan Yu choose to believe Sima Qiqi.

It took a lot of effort and Kan Yu to sign, so that Sima Qiqi could have the next plan.

In the office, Sima Qiqi asked Xiao Yan and other interns to divide into two groups, one group visited and investigated, to see if anyone had seen the incident at that time from the beginning to the end, Sima Qiqi explained, if someone only saw Kan Yu scolding the deceased and even making a move, and someone saw that the deceased was rude to Kan Yu first, and then Kan Yu had a later action, then the case was completely different. What Sima Qiqi also wants to know is why there are Kan Yu's fingerprints on the bricks, which is the point.

The other group is to find past cases, look at the basis of sentencing, and wait for the assignment of tasks, Sima Qiqi looked at it, looked at Sima Qiqi with a puzzled expression and asked, "No, I still have any tasks, right?" ”

Sima Qiqi smiled, pointed and said, "Your task is to go to Sha Yu and ask him to try to find out everything that happened to our client and the deceased." ”

"Is it useful, haven't the police investigated?"

He asked with a puzzled expression.

Sima Qiqi smiled and said: "The police investigation is just a preliminary investigation for the convenience of their investigation of the case, what I want now is an in-depth investigation, even if it is a trivial matter, I have to know." ”

"You want to know all the trivial things?"

Hearing Sima Qiqi's explanation, Sima Qiqi nodded and continued: "If this case wants to apply for the jury system, then the defendant's background experience is the basis for me to choose jurors. In the same way, looking for the deceased's life and getting jurors who are disgusted with the deceased's life experience can lead to the best interests of our client. ”

"Oh, I see!"

......

In the conference room of the office, everyone came back to sort out the information after completing the preliminary investigation, Sima Qiqi watched Xiao Yan go to the scene of the incident to visit the investigation group, and Xiao Yan asked an intern to stand up and answer.

The intern hurriedly took out his notebook, stared at the notebook and read: "According to the investigation, because it was noon, the surrounding businesses were busy, and many of the merchants' cameras were not facing the street, so the merchants did not ask for useful information, and many merchants heard the sound of discussion, so they asked the guests, or went out to check what happened, all of which said that someone was pushed down and did not stand up for a long time." ”

Sima Qiqi nodded, and then asked, "What about the passers-by?" ”

"Hmmm......"

The intern hurriedly flipped through his notebook, found the corresponding content and hurriedly replied: "Oh, passers-by, find a few, they live nearby or work nearby, they will pass by the place of the incident every day, one of the ladies lives nearby, she gave the news that she saw that the deceased did hit the defendant, the defendant and the deceased said a few words, as for the content, she said that she was too far away and didn't hear clearly, but looking at the expression, the two should be arguing." ”

"What about the hands-on part?"

Sima Qiqi said calmly.

The intern then flipped through his notebook and replied to Sima Qiqi when he saw that there was a record.

"The lady didn't see it, but she meant that there was a car passing by at that time, which just blocked her view, and when the car left, she had already seen the deceased lying on the ground."

When Sima Qiqi heard the intern's answer, he couldn't help but sigh and said slowly: "Really, the last testimony of the only useful witness can't prove what he saw, is there anything else to report?" ”

"Well, no."

After the intern finished saying this, it seemed that the weight in his heart was released, and he felt that the whole person was much more relaxed, Xiao Yan added at this time: "To add, lawyer Sima, it was noon, and many people were thinking about solving the problem of lunch, so even if someone noticed that the deceased and the defendant were arguing on the street, they probably didn't stop to check what happened." ”

"I agree with this, the quarrel between the two big men will not be cared about by ordinary people. Because the two men quarreled, either they scolded and went their own way, or they just continued to do it, the city gate caught fire and affected the pond fish, many people were afraid of blood splashing on themselves, or the person who beat the person went crazy and beat the people around him, so, seeing this situation, many people are too late to dodge, and generally no one will stop to check, even if you want to check, keep a safe distance, that distance, you can't hear what to say, if it is two women or beauties quarreling on the street, it is estimated that many people will stand closely beside them, Because I want to hear the gossip of beautiful women. ”

Sha Yu said with a smug smile.

Sima Qiqi thought about it, nodded and thought that it was the same truth.

Sima Qiqi looked at the other group that was consulting the relevant file materials, and the intern in charge of the team leader stood up and said: "We have checked a lot of file materials, and cases of pushing and shoving people resulting in accidental death are generally sentenced to manslaughter, and if you admit guilt with a good attitude, the sentence will not be too long." ”

"In my own case, there are the defendant's fingerprints on the object that caused the death, and then the defendant still insists that the deceased fell and hit his head on the brick, and when the defendant went to check the situation, his hand touched the brick, is there a similar case of sentencing?"

As soon as Sima Qiqi's voice fell, the intern in charge nodded and said: "Yes, there are three cases, one of which is that two people were looking at their mobile phones while walking, and they collided together, and the two quarreled, and then I don't know what happened, and the other person picked up a brick and smashed it at the deceased, resulting in death, and was convicted of murder, which was later changed to first-degree manslaughter." In the other two cases, although the defendant's fingerprints were found on the object that caused the death, the location of the fingerprints was determined, which was a very awkward position, and the judge held that even if there were fingerprints in that position, it would be difficult for the defendant to shoot the killer, so it was still judged that manslaughter was still admitted. ”

Sima Qiqi nodded, the intern's report made Sima Qiqi have a bottom in his heart, and then Sima Qiqi looked at Sha Yu, who was holding his mobile phone and had fun.

The probe looked at Sha Yu's mobile phone, sighed into his right hand, and slapped Sha Yu heavily on the back.

Sha Yu sat up straight in an instant after eating the pain, and said calmly: "It's your turn, I'm still a girl, please, hurry up and find a suitable girl to marry someone else home, you still think you're twenty-eight years old, in your early thirties, brother." ”

"You have to take care of it."

Sha Yu replied, and then Sima Qiqi coughed, interrupted the two, looked at Sha Yu and waited for Sha Yu's answer.

Sha Yu then remembered what was going on, coughed and cleared his throat, and said slowly: "According to my visit and investigation, the deceased's reputation was not very good in his life, and the people around him said that he had a bad temper, and he loved to drink, and when he drank, he was very horizontal, and it was not easy for anyone to speak, because of this incident, the deceased had been in several times before his death, but they were all drunk and making trouble, and he was released after a few days. ”

Sima Qiqi nodded, and asked Sha Yu to continue, Sha Yu continued: "As for your parties, there are a lot of things, it can be said that it is the complete blueprint of the TV series, this kid, his father died when he was a child, and his mother remarried someone else while he was still young, but this kid was not in good health when he was a child, so his mother didn't want this person to be called Kan Yu, so his mother left this kid to the grandparents of the Kan family, who grew up with his grandparents since he was a child, and when he was in junior high school, his grades were not bad, but his grandmother died in an accidentIn order to take care of his grandfather, who is not in good health, this kid often skips school, and then wants to go out to make money, but unfortunately he is underage, so he mistakenly follows a group of local thugs. ”

"What is the personality of the defendant?"

Sima Qiqi looked at Sha Yu and asked.

"Character, well, according to the survey, this kid has a pretty good personality, and he is more polite and filial to others."

Sima Qiqi nodded, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Xiao Yan, wait until you write an application and submit it to the court, so that the court can launch a questionnaire survey to the public and select reserve jurors from among them." ”

"What type of jurors are ready to choose?"

Xiao Yan looked at Sima Qiqi and said.

"It's very simple, everything is biased towards the defendant and disgusted with the kind of people who have a bad temper and drink and drink and go crazy, and only this kind of people can be on our side."

"Well, this type of juror, can you still be direct?"

and Sha Yu asked in unison.

Sima Qiqi smiled slightly and said: "Of course it is impossible, the court will send out hundreds of questionnaires, and then select them according to different ages, different education and different social classes, after electing enough reserve jurors, the court will give the information to the prosecution and defense, and before the formal trial, the court will hold a separate session for the prosecution and defense to select and delete the formal jurors." ”

"Wow, that sounds a bit complicated."

Listening to Sima Qiqi talk about a lot of processes, he felt that his head was big, Sima Qiqi smiled slightly and said: "Do you really think that those who oppose the jury system really think that the thinking of the general public is not a legal profession, with subjective opinions in it, so it is not suitable for implementation, is it money?" The Government is required to provide a daily allowance to each juror because of the delay in their work and life. The longer the case is heard, the more money is spent. ”
