The formal jury selection takes place before the formal trial of the case, and 16 reserve jurors sit on the bench.

Sima Qiqi and Tu Minghao took the information of 16 people and looked at it, Sima Qiqi noticed that Tu Minghao smiled at him with a relaxed face, but Sima Qiqi was not relaxed at all, Tu Minghao's opponent was too strong, and the previous fight made Sima Qiqi unable to find a breakthrough at all, if it weren't for Tu Minghao's only occasional participation in the prosecution of the case, Sima Qiqi's winning defense rate would probably have ceased to exist a long time ago.

Qi Nian looked at Sima Qiqi and Tu Minghao, and said slowly: "Since the defense lawyer proposed that the jury system should be adopted in this case, this court needs to select the formal jurors to participate in this case from among the 16 reserve jurors before formally hearing the case, and the prosecution and defense can each exclude four people. Here, on behalf of the court, this court would like to thank the 16 members of the public who volunteered to participate in the trial of this case, you have made the law more just and fair, because you represent the voice of the public, thank you. ”

After Qi Nian finished his kind words, he signaled that Sima Qiqi and Tu Minghao could choose. Tu Minghao asked Sima Qiqi to choose first, but Sima Qiqi was not happy at all when he heard Tu Minghao be so polite.

Sima Qiqi slowly stood up and was about to speak, when Qi Nian reminded: "Two, I'm sorry, interject, you two can only ask these 16 people one question, and you can't ask about this case, such as whether you sympathize with the victim, or whether you hate the defendant, etc., these can't be asked." Once such a question is raised, the Court will have to re-conduct the questionnaire and re-select the prospective jurors. You 16 can't show your own subjective emotions either, you know? ”

The 16 reserve jurors all nodded when they heard Qi Nian's reminder. Qi Nian made a gesture of please, Sima Qiqi didn't ask a question, and as soon as he came up, he eliminated a reserve juror with a happy family, and sat down.

When Tu Minghao saw Sima Qiqi's choice, he immediately understood Sima Qiqi's selection method, and Tu Minghao stood up and immediately eliminated a candidate in Sima Qiqi's heart.

Sima Qiqi saw that Tu Minghao so decisively excluded the best juror to participate in the trial of the case, Sima Qiqi not only frowned.

Xiao Yan sat in the auditorium, Xiao Yan saw Tu Minghao eliminate one of the best jurors, Xiao Yan punched his palm, and whispered: "It's over, we will be at a disadvantage at once." ”

"Why do you say that?"

"That person was screened by me and Lawyer Sima, and I thought that his participation in the trial of the case would most likely be biased in favor of the defendant, this Tu Minghao is really hateful."

Hearing Xiao Yan's explanation, he was worried about Sima Qiqi.

Although Sima Qiqi was a little worried, instead of dwelling on the best candidate who was excluded by Tu Minghao before, he still focused on the present, Sima Qiqi made up his mind, since Tu Minghao's purpose was to make the jurors unfavorable to the defendant, it was better to increase the difficulty.

Sima Qiqi quickly eliminated a reserve juror again, and this reserve juror was excluded Tu Minghao's facial muscles twitched slightly, glanced at Sima Qiqi, and smiled slightly.

Sima Qiqi noticed the change in Tu Minghao's expression, and knew that he had excluded a candidate in Tu Minghao's heart, and Tu Minghao was also very decisive in excluding another reserve juror, and now there were twelve people, and these twelve people Sima Qiqi and Tu Minghao could not make a decision immediately, so they could only start asking questions.

Sima Qiqi took the lead in asking, "Are you satisfied with your current life?" ”

Sima Qiqi looked at an old man, this old man was one of the seven people who were hesitant when Sima Qiqi discussed the information with Xiao Yanhe before, and the old man said seriously: "I am very satisfied with my current life." ”

Sima Qiqi looked at a woman dressed as a housewife again, and the woman said timidly: "I, I'm also very satisfied." ”

Sima Qiqi asked twelve people, and there were already candidates to be excluded in his heart, Qi Nian looked at Sima Qiqi and asked, "Defense lawyer, do you already have an answer, please exclude one more reserve juror." ”

Sima Qiqi smiled slightly and said, "Your Excellency, please let the No. 8 reserve juror leave." ”

No. 8 reserve juror, that is, the old man who just answered very decisively, Sima Qiqi found that this old man's eyes wandered on himself I don't know how many times, but he pretended to be serious, since this kind of person is so good at hiding his true thoughts, it is very likely that being a person is a double standard. It is a relaxed posture to restrain others with a strict standard of behavior, so that others cannot make a little mistake, while oneself is relaxed.

Sima Qiqi knew that if such people participated in the trial of the case, they were likely to show a kind of disgust for the defendant Kan Yu, maybe they were the same kind of people, but in order to better cover themselves, they had to try to draw a line with the same kind of people, so that others thought that they were a type of people with high moral character.

Tu Minghao saw Sima Qiqi eliminate No. 8, smiled slightly, and tapped his fingers on the table, just when Sima Qiqi was asking a question, Tu Minghao was also observing the performance of these 12 people, the eyes of the old man, Tu Minghao naturally found that a big beauty like Sima Qiqi is a man who will stare at Sima Qiqi's body intently, if he doesn't look at it, then this man is either blind or doesn't like women, there are only these two possibilities.

Just now, the eyes of the old man No. 8 kept moving with Sima Qiqi, and Tu Minghao couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart, there are some things, women are born with advantages over men.

Qi Nian asked Tu Minghao to exclude one more reserve juror, Tu Minghao thought about it, slowly stood up and looked at the remaining eleven people, and asked with a smile: "Do you usually do things by yourself or do you want to listen to other people's opinions?" ”

Seven of the remaining eleven people said that they had their own ideas, two said they didn't know, and two said that they generally listened to other people's suggestions, Tu Minghao heard their answers, and immediately had an answer in his heart, Qi Nian looked at Tu Minghao and hoped that Tu Minghao would exclude a person.

Tu Minghao said with a smile: "Your Excellency, please let the No. 12 reserve juror leave, thank you." ”

Qi Nian heard Tu Minghao's answer, and said slowly: "No. 12, thank you for your participation in the legal work, now please leave your seat, and this court apologizes for occupying your personal time this time." ”

Sima Qiqi saw that Tu Minghao excluded No. 12, what this person just answered was that she made her own decisions, logically speaking, Tu Minghao should not exclude No. 12, although Sima Qiqi did not know which side this No. 12 favored for the trial of the case, but there was a juror who was not swayed, no matter how he thought about it, it should be beneficial to Tu Minghao, Tu Minghao's wave of operations made Sima Qiqi unclear for a while.

Qi Nian saw Sima Qiqi in a daze and coughed, Sima Qiqi reacted, stood up and looked at the remaining ten people, and asked slowly, "Are you busy with your usual life?" ”

Sima Qiqi glanced at the ten people, six of them said that they were busy, and four said that they were very relaxed, Sima Qiqi looked at Qi Nian and said, "Your Excellency, please let the No. 1 reserve juror leave, thank you." ”

Tu Minghao saw the No. 1 reserve juror who left his position, and the answer just now was that there was plenty of time, and people with plenty of time would not care whether the trial time of the case was a day, a week, or a month, Sima Qiqi was because there were several people with plenty of time, so he wanted to exclude one?

At this time, Tu Minghao also had a question in his heart.

Qi Nian looked at Tu Minghao and said slowly: "Prosecutor, now you still need to exclude the last reserve juror, so that the jurors participating in this trial can be determined." ”

Tu Minghao has been thinking about Sima Qiqi's question just now, is Sima Qiqi doing it on purpose, or just to disturb his train of thought, Tu Minghao thought with a solemn face, Tu Minghao shook his head slightly, trying to calm himself down, looked at the remaining nine people, and asked slowly: "Are you easy-going?" ”

Eight of the nine people nodded and said that they were easy-going, while only one shook his head, Tu Minghao

Seeing this, he smiled slightly, turned to look at Qi Nian and said with a serious face: "Your Excellency, please let the No. 14 reserve juror leave his seat, thank you." ”

Qi Nian motioned to the No. 14 reserve juror to leave his seat, and said a kind word, Sima Qiqi saw Tu Minghao exclude No. 14, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, there were still two best candidates left in Sima Qiqi's heart, Sima Qiqi glanced at Tu Minghao, I don't know how many best candidates Tu Minghao left, but Sima Qiqi's last two questions are very misleading, not to mislead this group of jurors, but to mislead Tu Minghao, and want Tu Minghao to exclude the best candidate in his mind.

Qi Nian looked at the remaining eight people and said slowly: "The eight of you are now officially jurors in this case, the court will book a hotel room for you, during the trial, you can't use mobile phones and computers and other products, you can't talk to each other privately, and you can't contact the outside world, because you have your own work and life, here, on behalf of the legal system, this court will express my gratitude to you for your efforts, you can rest assured, after the case is over, the court will give each of you a letter of thanks, This letter will be recorded in your file and will be equivalent to a government commendation. Of course, the court will also send a letter to your employer, telling you that you are unable to work normally because of your participation in court jury work, and ask each work unit to keep your job position and pay your salary on time. Eight, do you still have questions? ”

The remaining eight people heard Qi Nian's words and looked at each other, and even the question that the eight of them were most worried about was whether they would be fired if they couldn't go to work, and Qi Nian had already spoken here, and the eight people shook their heads and said that there was no problem.

Qi Nian nodded, looked at Sima Qiqi and Tu Minghao and said, "Now that the jurors have confirmed, this court announces that Kan Yu's murder case will be tried at 9:00 next Monday morning in this courtroom." ”

After Qi Nian finished speaking, he picked up the small wooden hammer and knocked it, and the work of selecting jurors this time was finally over. But this is not the end for everyone, but the beginning of a new vision.
