Chapter 572: The First Trial
The first trial began, this time it was Fang Aoqin who was in charge, and the judge of the trial this time was Qi Nian, Sima Qiqi saw that they were all old acquaintances, and smiled confidently, not that Sima Qiqi could figure out the temper and character of the two of them, but that Sima Qiqi felt confident that his analysis and guess were completely in line with reality.
The appearance of Fang Aoqin and Qi Nian proves that this case is a case that Lu Sixue's faction is looking for for its own development, and the traditional faction will definitely oppose Lu Sixue, and now there is a hidden help, Sima Qiqi is not panicked at all, and Sima Qiqi applied for the use of the jury system in order to fight this lawsuit, which can be said to attack the shield of the son with the spear of the son.
The eight jurors are all ordinary people with successful careers and happy families, Fang Aoqin thought at first that Sima Qiqi would choose the kind of family unhappy, but he didn't expect Sima Qiqi's choice to be similar to Fang Aoqin, but the more this is the case, the more Fang Aoqin dare not be careless and underestimate the enemy.
Sima Qiqi touched her stomach and said softly: "Little baby, today is the day when you fight side by side with your mother, you have to be obedient and obedient, you know." ”
After the court staff finished reading the relevant information of the case, Qi Nian looked at Fang Aoqin, Fang Aoqin stood up and looked at Qi Nian and said: "Your Excellency, the defendant Liu Lian brutally killed three innocent people in six years, and tortured the three deceased in a cruel way, which can no longer explain the defendant's behavior. The defendant's method of murder had an impact on society, and the public was uneasy after the case was revealed, and we asked the court to convict the defendant of three murder cases and sentence the defendant to death. ”
This case has attracted the attention of the whole society since Sima Qiqi applied for a verdict, this official trial, the courtroom was crowded with people, after Fang Aoqin said the sentencing standard, everyone was not surprised, three murders, and the police have not disclosed Liu Lian's motive for killing until now, many people speculate that Liu Lian is a perverted killer, and there is nothing wrong with sentencing this perverted killer to death, and everyone is now concerned about how Sima Qiqi will deal with it.
Sima Qiqi stood up calmly and said, "Your Excellency, on behalf of my client, I only admit that the three murders were caused by my client's own hands......"
Before Sima Qiqi finished speaking, the entire court became agitated and admitted three murders, that is, he pleaded guilty.
Qi Nian picked up the small wooden hammer and struck it a few times, so that everyone was silent, Qi Nian looked at Sima Qiqi and asked, "Is the defense lawyer going to plead guilty in court on behalf of your client?" ”
"No, I'm just saying that the three murders were indeed caused by my client, but here I want to correct a few things that the prosecutor just said wrong."
Qi Nian looked at Sima Qiqi with a puzzled expression, Sima Qiqi smiled at Qi Nian and said: "The first place, that is, what the prosecutor said just now, the three deceased are innocent people, and from our point of view, the three deceased are indeed innocent people. But from my client's point of view, the three deceased are not necessarily innocent people, and they are more likely to be directly at fault for the three tragedies. ”
Sima Qiqi's accusation that the three deceased were at fault at this time was unexpected by everyone in the auditorium, because it would take a lot of risk to say this, after all, in addition to media workers in the auditorium, there were also family members of the deceased in the three murders.
Sure enough, when one of the family members heard Sima Qiqi pointing out that his relatives were at fault, he immediately stood up and scolded Sima Qiqi for having a conscience, and the words he scolded could be said to be as ugly as they were. I almost couldn't help but rush out to teach the swear person a lesson, but fortunately, Sha Yu was next to him and grabbed him
Qi Nian heard the family's verbal attack on Sima Qiqi and motioned for the family to sit down, but the family members at this time were also furious, and they didn't take Qi Nian in their eyes at all, the court is majestic, and the judge needs authority more. Qi Nian motioned to the court police to take the family out of the courtroom and informed the family that they would be summoned for contempt of court.
After the family members left the courtroom, Qi Nian looked at Sima Qiqi and asked, "Defense lawyer, you just said that the three deceased were not innocent victims in the eyes of the defendant, but could they be the party at fault for the three murders?" ”
Sima Qiqi nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Your Excellency Judge, the three deceased are definitely not innocent victims in the eyes of my client, and in the eyes of my client, they should deserve it." ”
Qi Nian and the others in the court heard Sima Qiqi say this, and they all gasped for Sima Qiqi's words just now.
Qi Nian coughed, looked at Sima Qiqi with a solemn face and asked: "Defense lawyer, is your statement just now supported by evidence, although your lawyer can state all kinds of words for your client in court, but you must also be worthy of your professional ethics, if you deliberately damage the reputation of the three deceased in order to help your client get away with it, the families of the deceased can recover civil compensation from you." ”
Qi Nian seems to be reminding Sima Qiqi that he has actually pointed out the direction to the families of the three deceased, and as long as Sima Qiqi can't come up with relevant evidence, I'm afraid he will face endless civil compensation lawsuits.
Sima Qiqi naturally saw the intention of Qi Nian's words just now, Sima Qiqi smiled slightly and said: "Your Excellency, thank you for reminding me, I am not without purpose, this is my client's childhood information, and it is also the No. 1 evidence of the defense, I ask Your Excellency the judge to approve our presentation of this evidence." ”
Qi Nian nodded and agreed to Sima Qiqi's request, Sima Qiqi opened the information and said with a solemn face: "Your Excellency, according to the information from our investigation, my client, Ms. Liu Lian, does not know who her biological father is, whether her father died when she was born or abandoned my client's mother and daughter, my client does not know at all, she only knows that she grew up in an environment without father's love since she was a child. When I was two years old, my client was just sensible, and a disaster struck and my client was abducted. I was sold to a strange place, and no one knows how much pain my client endured in his heart......"
Sima Qiqi was stating sensationally when Fang Aoqin suddenly stood up and interrupted Sima Qiqi's words.
"Objection, Your Excellency, the defense lawyer should present evidence to prove that the three dead are the circumstances that the defense lawyer has just described, and not use the defendant's childhood experience to sensationalize here."
Sima Qiqi noticed that some of the jurors were about to cry, Fang Aoqin was also experienced, and noticed that the jurors' emotions had changed, and hurriedly interrupted Sima Qiqi to speak, the purpose was to let the jurors clean up their moods and not be mobilized by Sima Qiqi again. Even if Sima Qiqi continued to sensationalize, Fang Aoqin had already given eight jurors "preventive shots", so that the eight jurors knew that it was time to see evidence that the three deceased were not innocent victims.
Qi Nian looked at Sima Qiqi and said slowly: "Defense lawyer, although what you just said is very moving, it is indeed not evidence related to the three deceased. ”
Sima Qiqi looked at Qi Nian with a calm face and said politely: "Your Excellency, I just don't want to directly present evidence to make everyone feel abrupt, because the evidence I come out later may not be acceptable to someone on the scene, so I want to use my client's childhood information to pave the way." ”
When Qi Nian heard Sima Qiqi say this, he sighed and asked, "How long will it take for the defense lawyer?" ”
Sima Qiqi smiled slightly and said, "Five minutes is enough." ”
Qi Nian nodded and said, "Then the defense lawyer asks you to hurry up and finish the preparation, and then come up with the corresponding evidence." ”
Sima Qiqi smiled slightly and nodded, and Qi Nian motioned for Sima Qiqi to continue.
Sima Qiqi continued: "We don't know how much of the pain in my client's heart will affect my client's growth, but what we do know is that my client must hate the trafficker who made a major change in her life. ”
Sima Qiqi's arm waved sharply, and now everyone was mobilized again by Sima Qiqi's arm wave, this time it was not sympathy, but a kind of hatred, and many people in the auditorium nodded slightly, when Sima Qiqi spoke.
Sima Qiqi put away his anger and looked at the judge and said, "Your Excellency, I request that the defense evidence No. 5 be presented in court. ”
Qi Nian nodded slightly, Sima Qiqi picked up another piece of information and said slowly: "This information is a confession, a prisoner's confession, this prisoner is a member of the human trafficking group, and he is still serving his sentence in prison. Although the second deceased had not worked in the human trafficking syndicate for a long time, according to the confirmation of the certified prisoner, the second deceased left the human trafficking syndicate shortly after my client was abducted more than 20 years ago. ”
When everyone heard Sima Qiqi say this, they no longer had any sympathy for the death of the second deceased, although the family of the second deceased was angry, but they were even more shocked, and at this time, many people looked at the location of the deceased's family, and these family members felt even more panicked and at a loss. They never knew that such a good husband, father, colleague, and friend in their eyes and in other people's mouths had done such a hurtful thing before.
Sima Qiqi looked at Qi Nian and said slowly: "Your Excellency, on June 12 more than 20 years ago, my client was abducted by human traffickers, and it was such a coincidence that the second deceased used to work in this criminal group, and the time when the second deceased left the criminal group was June 23 of the same year, will my client be the last child that the second deceased took to other places to sell, which can also explain why my client wanted to torture the second deceased in an execution-style manner, If this can still be said that my client is a cold-blooded person, I can't say either. However, I believe that in addition to reason, there is also emotion in the law. ”
