Chapter 0199: Closing Arguments

Ning Zhiyuan listened expressionlessly as his brother-in-law said the words that could send him to prison, and gently stroked the smooth railing in front of him with both hands, as gentle as if he was wiping his beloved shotgun.

He wasn't particularly worried about what was in front of him, because he knew that his lawyer could prove that Ma Zhongxin's words were just to exonerate himself.

Such a betrayal is absolutely unforgivable, his eyes gently glanced at the middle-aged man with a calm face in the auditorium, he had black curly hair, his eyes were gray, and there was a faint knife mark on his forehead that almost cut his eyebrows in two, he also saw Ning Zhiyuan turn his head slightly, and the two quickly exchanged a look, at such a time, such a look was enough to represent too many meanings.

"Hey, hey!" Fang Yaoqiang smiled softly, and Xia Chenghao was still sitting on the sofa like a stone statue looking at the picture.

Luo Wenqian noticed this strange look, turned her head expressionlessly, and whispered a few words to Luo Qi on the side, Luo Qi also listened expressionlessly, but he gently took out a portable full-angle monitor from his arms and held it in his hand, and slowly adjusted the angle in his hand, while the man with broken eyebrows snorted disdainfully and turned his face away.

"Now it is up to the defense lawyer to conduct the questioning." Lan Xi lightly tapped the wooden hammer.

Lawyer Wan Changjie walked towards the witness with a graceful demeanor, his eyes hidden behind his gold-rimmed glasses flickered, his expression was indifferent, and the corners of his mouth were contemptuous, all of which seemed to say to Ma Zhongxin: "You traitor! See how I clean you up. ”

Cross-examination is necessary and an effective way to ensure fairness, and after the prosecution counsel has finished questioning, the defence counsel will have a corresponding questioning strategy.

"Mr. Ma Zhongxin, are you Mr. Ning Zhiyuan's brother-in-law?" Wan Changjie stared at the witness closely.

"Yes!"

"You love your sister a lot, don't you?" Wan Changjie asked again.

"Yes!" Ma Zhongxin began to bow his head in shame.

"So you don't want your sister to be hurt, do you?" Wan Changjie chased after him.

"Against! The defense lawyer tried to influence the emotions of the witnesses. Luo Wenqian stood up and shouted.

"The opposition is valid." Lan Xi tapped the small hammer lightly. "Defense lawyer, please pay attention to your question."

"Yes, Your Excellency." Wan Changjie smiled secretly in his heart, because he had achieved his goal, Ma Zhongxin began to glance at his sister uneasily, with infinite guilt in his eyes.

"This guy charges a thousand glang per hour, and I think a hundred tin dollars is enough." Fang Yaoqiang was sneering again. It seems that he is very unimpressed with this lawyer Wan Changjie.

Mr. Fang shifted the scene to a court trial a month later.

"In the past few decades, Ning Zhiyuan, as the head of the Ning family, has instructed his subordinates to commit countless crimes, and even in the past few months, he has also instructed his subordinates to attempt to murder witnesses many times, which were discovered by our agents in time, and those four purges are also willing to become tainted witnesses." Luo Wenqian spoke loudly to the judge and the jury.

Ning Zhiyuan's expression was very natural, and only people like Fang Yaoqiang and Xia Chenghao could see that he was very nervous from a subtle look in his eyes and a twitch of his muscles.

His stomach was cramping and his throat was dry. The old man suddenly found that he could no longer control the situation, and even the people above could not help him, because the evidence of the prosecution was so sufficient, so sufficient that whoever tried to help him was tantamount to self-destruction.

Another footage, which appears to be a video of the last trial.

"Now I would like to ask both sides to make closing arguments." Lan Xi tapped the gavel with a small hammer, "Prosecution, please!" ”

The final recourse was the most important and exciting moment of the entire trial.

Since the lawyers on both sides have not had the opportunity to fully present their views before, they will go all out to perform at this time. This is a real courtroom debate. And this is the time to fully display the talent of lawyers.

In previous court investigations, jurors had heard bits and pieces of evidence. It is only after the lawyer's assembly that they can see a complete picture.

Savvy lawyers tend to subtly foreshadow direct and cross-examination, and rely on the unguarded words of witnesses in the trial record to reveal their significance in the case as a whole.

It was also an exhilarating time for the jurors.

Especially in those lengthy proceedings, they began to rub their sleepy eyes when they were exhausted by the day-to-day court investigations and the boring testimony of witnesses. Get ready to hear great performances from lawyers on both sides.

Luo Wenqian stood up again, walked to the table, bowed slightly to the judge, and nodded to the BCI colleagues sitting behind her who had been pursuing the case with him for two years, turned her head, and stared at Ning Zhiyuan tightly.

"Your Excellency, Honorable Judge. The jury and all those present, keep your eyes open and do not be deceived by false appearances. This dignified-looking old man in front of you, his heart darker than his clothes under his black suit, his white hands that have committed countless sins, and which are stained with the blood of innocents. ”

"Against!" Defense lawyer Wan Changjie shouted loudly, he also stood up, today he is still wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his hair is neatly combed behind his head, and his eyes are shrewd, "The prosecution uses non-standard words, he is insulting my client." ”

"Objections are invalid!" Lan Xi shouted softly, "That's just a metaphor! ”

Then he turned to Luo Wenqian, whose face was pale, and said, "Please state the facts directly." ”

"Yes!" Luo Wenqian put away her smile, bowed deeply, and raised herself, she looked at Ning Zhiyuan with an angry expression.

She stood in front of the jury bench, looking agitated, clutching a thick stack of papers that were part of the testimony she had submitted. He shouted to the jurors: "In the past many years of his career in the green camp, Ning Zhiyuan has committed a series of crimes such as murder, arson, fraud and extortion, for the dignity of the law and the fairness of the world, please convict him." ”

Prosecutor Luo Wenqian has concluded his closing arguments.

Lan Xi turned to the defense lawyer and said, "Now please make a case for the defense." ”

The defense lawyer stood up weakly, and although he could make a very beautiful closing speech, he could not compare to the mountain of ironclad evidence, and now he could only hope that God would save this heinous fellow.

"Your Excellency Honorable Judge, Honorable Jury, please look at this old man standing in the dock, his face is so calm, and his expression is so peaceful......"

The defense lawyer has begun to carefully describe how his client is properly dressed, in an attempt to prove Ning Zhiyuan's innocence with such ineffective logic as being the same. (To be continued.) )
