When Ye Qian left the witness stand, Sima Qiqi stood up and said, "Your Excellency, I request to question my client, the defendant Mr. Zuo Jing. ”

The judge nodded, Zuo Jing came to the witness stand, and Sima Qiqi asked, "Defendant, do you know Ms. Yang Ziyi, who is also the plaintiff in this case?" ”

Zuo Jing shook his head, Sima Qiqi flipped through the document and said: "You were caught red-handed by other passengers, and the confession given by the other passengers was that the zipper of your pants was not pulled when they caught you." This is also the reason why you were charged with indecent assault. Did you unzip your pants and molest the plaintiff at that time? ”

In the last sentence, Sima Qiqi deliberately raised his voice several times.

Zuo Jing hurriedly shook his head and said, "I didn't do this at all, and I don't know how or when the zipper of my pants was opened." ”

Zuo Jing's expression was very panicked, but he saw that the corners of Sima Qiqi's mouth rose slightly.

Hearing Sima Qiqi ask like this, he felt a little puzzled, and was puzzled, only to hear Sima Qiqi's tone become calm and ask, "Defendant, what clothes were you wearing at the time of the crime?" ”

Ding Shan stood up and objected: "Your Excellency, the clothes worn by the defendant at the time of the crime have nothing to do with this case, and the defense lawyer ......."

Before Ding Shan could finish speaking, Sima Qiqi immediately retorted: "Your Excellency, the clothes that the defendant was wearing at that time have a lot to do with this case. ”

The judge frowned and asked slowly, "Defense lawyer, what does the clothes the defendant wore at the time of the crime have anything to do with this case?" ”

Sima Qiqi said slowly: "Your Excellency, please allow me to continue to ask you to know." ”

The judge thought for a moment and nodded.

Sima Qiqi looked at Zuo Jing, Zuo Jing thought for a while and said, "It's a long thin down jacket." ”

Sima Qiqi continued to ask, "Long paragraph, how long is it?" ”

Zuo Jing stood up and compared with his hands, and replied, "It should be up to my knees." ”

Sima Qiqi smiled and said, "Your Excellency, how can the defendant violate the plaintiff in such a long down jacket." ”

Ding Shan stood up and objected: "Your Excellency, the defense lawyer deliberately misinduced, the length of the down jacket has nothing to do with whether it violates others, and besides, the down jacket is not more able to make the defendant violate others without zipping." ”

Sima Qiqi didn't care about Ding Shan at all, and then said to the judge: "Your Excellency, the defense requests to present evidence in court, and it is the video screenshot on the bus where the crime occurred that can prove that the prosecutor's statement is wrong. ”

The judge nodded, and two pictures appeared on the big screen of the courtroom, and everyone's eyes were on the big screen.

I saw one of the moments when Zuo Jing got on the car, and the clothes were obviously pulled, and the other was a screenshot of Zuo Jing when he was caught by many passengers in the car, and it can be seen from this picture that the clothes were still pulled up. Ding Shan sat down like a deflated ball. The judge asked Ding Shan if he wanted to ask Zuo Jing, and Ding Shan shook his head without speaking. The judge asked Zuo Jing to leave the witness stand.

At this time, Sima Qiqi said slowly: "Your Excellency, the facts of the case are very clear. ”

When the judge heard this, he also frowned, and asked suspiciously, "Defense lawyer, what case?"

The situation is clear, please state it clearly. ”

Sima Qiqi nodded and said, "Your Excellency, my client, the defendant, also said just now that the zipper of his pants was opened without knowing when, and the video screenshot can also be seen that my client's clothes were pulled at that time." Then it is impossible to infringe on the plaintiff, and the zipper was indeed opened when the defendant grabbed it, so can anyone prove that my client opened the zipper on the bus. ”

After speaking, Sima Qiqi looked at Ding Shan.

Ding Shan was asked by Sima Qiqi, and he was speechless for a while.

Sima Qiqi looked at Ding Shan, who didn't speak, and Sima Qiqi continued: "Your Excellency, the prosecution is responsible for presenting evidence, but it can't even cite this proof. We now suspect that the prosecution was negligent in adducing evidence in this case. Because when the prosecution investigated this case, it had subjectively treated my client as a prisoner, and did not conduct an impartial investigation and present evidence. ”

After Sima Qiqi finished speaking, he sat down, and at this time Ding Shan was chatting with the prosecutor next to him in a whisper, and then the judge turned his head to look at Ding Shan and asked, "Prosecutor, do you have any questions?" ”

Ding Shan stood up, still with a cold face, and said, "Your Excellency, the prosecution has a new witness who can prove the defendant's zipper situation at that time. ”

The judge also looked at Ding Shan with a cold face and said slowly: "New witnesses, why are there new witnesses?" Prosecutor, you don't really like the defense lawyer said, the evidence investigation has no intention at all, but directly treats the defendant as a prisoner! ”

Ding Shan hurriedly apologized: "Your Excellency, the prosecution did have some problems in presenting evidence before, but this witness did not investigate because of the prosecution's negligence, but that this witness was in a hurry and needed to go to the airport at the time of the crime, and the police had enough witnesses at that time, so they did not collect evidence from him, and when the prosecution checked the surveillance video of the bus where the crime occurred, it was found that the position where the witness was sitting happened to be able to see the plaintiff and the defendant." However, the witness was on a business trip abroad and the prosecution kept trying to contact the witness without success, and I have just received information that the witness has returned to China, and I ask His Excellency the Judge to allow the prosecution to testify as a new witness. ”

The judge thought for a while and didn't speak, then Sima Qiqi stood up and objected: "Your Excellency, the prosecution is treating my client unfairly in this way, so my client will still be treated as an indecent offender during this time." I call for an immediate adjournment of the trial, as it is irresponsible and a waste of the Tribunal's resources to ask the court to adjourn the case due to the prosecution's own negligence in adducing evidence. ”

Ding Shan also immediately stood up and said, "Your Excellency, the prosecution has this request precisely for the sake of the fairness of the case. ”

The judge looked at the two, stopped the two, and said slowly: "This case is a bus indecency case, and the social impact is very bad, and there are indeed victims in this case, and the defendant cannot be released without giving the victim the most reasonable explanation, which is unfair to the victim, and because the prosecution released the defendant because the evidence was unreasonable, there is no substantive evidence to prove that the defendant is."

Whether or not the offence of indecent assault is committed, it will also cause the defendant to be treated unfairly in his future working life. Now that the prosecution has new witnesses who can testify to the actual circumstances at the time of the incident, the court cannot choose to turn a blind eye, but it is unfair to the defendant and the defence lawyer to allow new witnesses to testify in court now, and the case is adjourned for retrial so that the defense can question and investigate. Can a defense lawyer do? ”

After speaking, the judge looked at Sima Qiqi coldly, Sima Qiqi thought for a while, and said slowly: "Your Excellency, please give me some time, I want to discuss it with my client." ”

The judge nodded. Sima Qiqi walked to the left scene, and the two talked in a whisper.

After a while, Sima Qiqi returned to his position, looked at the judge and said, "Your Excellency, my client agrees that the defense requests that the case be adjourned for two weeks before the trial. ”

The judge wrote on the paper, looked at the file documents, nodded and said: "Then, the trial of this case will be held on the ninth of next month, and the court will notify the court in advance of the specific time, and there are any problems between the prosecution and defense." ”

Ding Shan thought about it and nodded, and Sima Qiqi also nodded in agreement.

Walking out of the courtroom, I saw Sima Qiqi and hurriedly greeted him and said, "Lawyer Sima, I really didn't expect that Ding Shan to be dying and struggling. ”

Sima Qiqi pinched the corners of his eyes and said slowly: "I didn't expect the judge to agree to the witness to testify in court, I can only take one step at a time, I hope nothing will happen in these two weeks!" ”

A week later, Ding Shan still did not hand over the witness testimony, but there was no impermeable wall, and he finally heard some wind when he mobilized his connections in heaven and earth, and hurriedly ran to Sima Qiqi's office, and saw Sima Qiqi still drinking water very leisurely.

took Sima Qiqi's cup away, gasped and said: "Lawyer Sima, you are still so leisurely, do you know, Ding Shan has actually finished questioning the witnesses a long time ago, and he must have thought of some kind of ghost idea if he didn't send us the witness testimony for a long time." ”

Sima Qiqi stood up, slowly took a cup and took a sip of water, glanced at it and said: "I haven't seen the witness testimony either, why are you in such a hurry, if Ding Shan is going to be close and then hand over the witness testimony to me, I can raise this point in court, and then the judge's image of Ding Shan will not be good, and Ding Shan will not be so stupid to do such a thing, even if the judge is not disgusted with Ding Shan, then I can also apply for an adjournment of the case, and then have time to review the evidence." ”

Hearing Sima Qiqi say this, he didn't speak with his mouth half-open. turned around and left Sima Qiqi's office, and the next afternoon, after eating a big meal, he came to the office, with a toothpick on his mouth, and as soon as he walked into the office, he bumped into Xiao Yan.

Rubbing his shoulders and looking at Xiao Yan, he complained: "I said Miss, don't be so rampage, you are a girl, lady, be careful, you can't get married." ”

Xiao Yan rubbed his forehead, which was hit painfully, and shouted loudly: "The boss is not good, something is wrong." ”

Said disapprovingly: "Something big has happened, and the big things are floating like clouds in front of me."

Floating. ”

Xiao Yan didn't want to say more, so he grabbed Sima Qiqi's office and saw Sima Qiqi, Xiao Yan gasped and said, "Lawyer Sima ......"

Seeing Sima Qiqi, he pulled out a chair and sat down, and asked slowly, "What happened to make Xiao Yan so flustered?" ”

Sima Qiqi didn't say anything when he saw this, but turned the computer to this side, and saw that Sima Qiqi was also frowning, staring at the computer screen and saying disdainfully: "What is so amazing, you can frown, everything is a floating cloud in front of me, what I said ......"

The voice stopped abruptly, and his eyes were fixed on the computer screen.

It took a long time to raise his head and say, "This, what's going on?" The plaintiff in the bus molestation case suddenly committed suicide, why? ”

Looking back at Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't know.

Sima Qiqi pointed to the message on the computer screen and asked, "You really don't know anything about this. ”
