Volume 1 Earth Chapter 67 Appearing in Court for Trial

The Linwei District People's Court is located on Qianwang Street, and Ning Ke has been familiar with this place since he was very young.

I didn't expect him to be a defendant today.

When he walked into the courtroom, he saw nearly twenty classmates, both men and women, sitting in the front row.

"It's Thursday, you don't have to go to school?" he greeted them one by one, a little surprised, but also a little warm.

Shan Aiai saw Ning Ke and said, "Look at the good things you did!", with an unhappy look. She hadn't seen Ning Ke for a long time.

Ning Ke smiled, he was also very aggrieved in his heart, Hu Dahai wanted to compete with me for death, but he crippled himself and sued me in court.

Actually, what Shan Aiai said was the resignation of Teacher Lin Lan, who was harmed by you Ning Ke. Ning Ke misunderstood......

Because Ning Ke was still a minor, Hu Dahai's case against him was tried in private, and under normal circumstances, idlers were not allowed to observe. Shan Aiai told him that her aunt was the vice president of the court, and that she had brought these classmates in.

Hu Dahai hired a well-known lawyer from the Qiantang "Shenmu" law firm to help him fight the lawsuit.

The facts of the entire case are clear, there is a large amount of video evidence and the testimony of eyewitnesses at the scene, and the original theory that Lai Ningke used a hidden weapon in combat has been abandoned when the formal prosecution is made.

Because during the fight, many students of the taekwondo gym present used their mobile phones to record the scene, plus the images provided by the cameras installed in the gym, were searched by the professionals of Hu Dahai's lawyer team frame by frame, and no traces of the use of hidden weapons were found in the fight.

The lawyer's statement of the facts of the case was clear and the evidence was conclusive, but the nature of the fight was distorted. The lawyer's statement that it was originally a "free fight" was that Ning Ke deliberately provoked the brawl was qualitatively different in the characterization of this case.

If it is a "free fight", it is a competition of martial arts practitioners, and like other sporting events, casualties can only be regarded as accidents, and the parties are generally not legally liable, and the organizer and the insurance company are mainly responsible for financial compensation.

Sometimes, the person concerned makes a small amount of financial compensation out of humanity.

Fighting, on the other hand, is an illegal act, and depending on the degree of injury, it is subject to punishment or criminal punishment under the Public Security Administration Regulations.

If the cause of the brawl proposed by Hu Dahai's lawyer is established, Hu Dahai's patella fracture and thigh bone fracture would already constitute the crime of major injury. The defendant is not able to settle the matter through financial compensation, but bears a certain amount of criminal responsibility.

In such a situation, if the person concerned obtains the victim's forgiveness by apologizing to the victim, making financial compensation, etc., the criminal penalty may be reduced.

If the judge of the trial supports the establishment of the brawl case, Ning Ke is not only a matter of compensation, but also a sentence to prison.

The video evidence provided by lawyer Hu Dahai to the court was that there was no dialogue between Hu Dahai and Ning Ke before the fight, only the process of fighting.

Maybe the videographer only made the video at the start of their game, or maybe the previous image was erased by processing.

This is already very unfavorable to Ning Ke, if Ning Ke can't show evidence that he and Hu Dahai are "free to fight", the court is very likely to rule that the brawl case is established.

The only thing that is beneficial to Ning Ke now is that Hu Dahai is an adult, and Ning Ke is a minor, which has to be commuted in sentencing. Even if Ning Ke is found guilty, he will generally not be sentenced to actual punishment, and most of them will be suspended or served outside of prison.

If Hu Dahai's brawl case is established and Ning Ke does not want to be sentenced, the actual amount of compensation will be much higher than the amount approved by the court.

Is the focus of the case "free fighting" or fighting? The amount of compensation is directly related to the nature of the case.

Ning Ke knew that the defense he had to make was that the case of his injury to Hu Dahai occurred under the premise of "free fighting" proposed by Hu Dahai first.

After the trial, the judge asked Ning Ke why he didn't hire a lawyer, and for a juvenile court like Ning Ke, a lawyer with "legal aid" could be arranged to provide Ning Ke with free legal help.

Ning Ke rejected the judge's suggestion, saying that he could defend himself.

The judge looked at Ning Ke expressionlessly and did not speak. The judge then put forward a proposal for mediation in court, but Hu Dahai's lawyer and Ning Ke did not agree.

Then, at the beginning of the trial, Hu Dahai's lawyer accused Ning Ke of killing Hu Dahai so badly that he disabled Hu Dahai in a brawl with him, and also played a video of the time of the case. The lawyer also presented the disability grade appraisal issued by the Qiantang Municipal Public Security Bureau and a series of diagnosis certificates and medical treatment certificates from several hospitals, and proposed a total compensation amount of 2.5 million yuan.

"Distinguished judges and jurors. Ning Ke stood in the defendant's seat, looking natural and relaxed, and talked eloquently:

"On the afternoon of July 16 this year, my classmate Qian Youzhi and I went to the taekwondo gym, he went to the taekwondo gym to participate in training, and I wanted to apply for a sparring partner at the gym. At that time, the director of the taekwondo gym was not there, and when I was negotiating with Coach Yang about applying for the job, Hu Dahai came over to compete with me. He repeatedly said that he was 'free to fight' with me. As a sparring partner, I accepted his challenge, as evidenced by the video presented to court by Hu Dahai's lawyer......"

"Honorable Judge, I have a question?"

Ning Ke believes that the facts of the case he narrated were clear, logical, and well-founded. But Hu Dahai's lawyer immediately raised an objection to the judge without waiting for Ning Ke to finish speaking.

"Speak. The judge gestured.

"Defendant Ning Ke's 'free fighting' is untenable.

"First, we can see from the numerous video materials that none of the video materials reflect the situation stated by the defendant. From many videos, we can see that my client is wearing a combat suit, which means that my client is in training, and the defendant is not wearing a protective suit, indicating that the defendant is temporarily provoking my client.

"In the case of 'free fighting', the defendant should wear protective clothing to comply with the rules of the game.

"Second, the defendant has repeatedly stated that it is a 'free fight', and I ask whether the defendant has any written agreement for the game or other similar documents.

"According to my investigation, all official competitions in taekwondo gyms, even if it is just a martial arts exchange between two people, will sign relevant competition agreements, and at the same time, they will also apply for relevant accident insurance, which is in line with the country's requirements in terms of sports events and to protect the legitimate rights of athletes. I have here the documents signed by the taekwondo gyms in the past, please take a look at ......"

As he spoke, the lawyer handed the judge some more information.

Only then did Ning Ke realize that it was far from enough to be familiar with legal books, and it seemed that defense required professional knowledge.

This reminded him of alchemy, and it was not enough to have pills and medicinal materials......

"Defendant Ning Ke, what else do you have to state and defend against the plaintiff that you sued you for injuring him because of the brawl?"

From the beginning of the trial to the present, the judge has always been unwavering and expressionless.

"I've said it many times, it's not a fight! it's a 'free fight,' to be precise, I'm being beaten. The taekwondo gym wants to hire a sparring partner, and to put it bluntly, the so-called sparring partner is a full-time beating person. This can be seen from the video provided by Hu Dahai, I did not fight back during the whole fight.

"As for not signing the relevant documents for the competition, I didn't know that the competition had such a requirement, and no one in Hu Dahai or the taekwondo gym asked me to do so at that time. Also, I hadn't practiced taekwondo and wasn't used to wearing protective clothing, so I didn't wear it at the time. ”

"Is there any evidence for what you said?" asked the judge, still expressionless.

Ning Ke asked Qian Youzhi to privately ask the students at the scene, although there were many students who recorded videos at that time, but they only started recording during the competition. Before the game, no one recorded the conversation between him and Hu Dahai and others. And what was recorded by the camera installed in the taekwondo gym, he didn't have time to understand and collect.

Ning Ke thought for a moment and shook his head.

His mind was a little distracted, "Modern courts are much clearer than ancient times, but seeing that their cases may be wrongly judged, no wonder there are so many unjust, false and wrongful cases in the world?......"

Qian Youzhi said on the side, "I can prove ......", but was immediately stopped by the bailiff. Because before the trial, Ning Ke's side did not ask Qian Youzhi to testify in advance. If Qian Youzhi wants to provide proof, he can only wait for the next retrial.

The judge asked Hu Dahai's lawyer again: "Judging from the video, the defendant never moved his hand when he had a physical collision with Hu Dahai, how do you explain it?"

"Although the defendant Ning Ke is young, he is strong in martial arts, and he practices the fiercest and most rigid Bajiquan. According to professionals, Bajiquan has some special secret techniques, which can be used to hit people with buttocks, stomachs and other parts. As you can see from the video just now, my client's knee hit the defendant's stomach before he fell to the ground and fainted......"

"Sigh-" There were not many people who heard the trial, and some people still couldn't help but cheer.

"Silence!" the judge tapped his hammer.

At this point in the trial, Ning Ke's classmates present understood that Ning Ke was going to lose in this lawsuit, and if he didn't get it right, he would go to prison. Even if the court ruled that the case was caused by the harm caused by "free fighting", because they did not sign the game agreement and could not find a home, the Ning family would have to pay a high amount of financial compensation.

They know the economic situation of the Ning family, and this lawsuit may require Ning Ke to repay his debts for the rest of his life.

The purpose of the court is to protect the vulnerable, and although it is a bit funny to say that Coach Hu is a vulnerable, he is now considered a vulnerable person by the court. Anyway, it was he who was hurt.

Li Yadi had already burst into tears, and at this time she had not yet reached the final verdict of the court, otherwise she would have cried a long time ago.

The corners of Shan Aiai's eyes and eyebrows contain a kind of resentment, tears are full of tears, and she wants to live back.

Her heart was dripping with blood: "A genius future scholar and scientist has fallen like this, why is this world so cruel?......

She quietly went to find her aunt......
