Chapter 3: The Devil's Defense
The two girls who were chatting looked very young and had a distinctly studentish spirit.
They looked at Zhu Shan, stunned for two seconds, and then smiled.
Then emphasize: "It's 'Satan', not 'fools'!" ”
Zhu Shan pulled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment and turned around.
Satan?
Demon?
The coaxing face of Niu B at the moment of Ling Xiao came to her mind, and she couldn't help nodding in agreement, quite an image!
Zhu Shan was coming to the court for the first time, and it was bigger than she expected.
As far as the eye can see, there are dark tones, and the national emblem hanging high in front of it directly fills the solemn and majestic atmosphere.
Ling Xiao took Li Shang into the courtroom from the right side and walked straight to the defendant's defense lawyer's seat.
He changed into black trousers, a white shirt with a wide black lawyer's robe, a red bow tie worn by a lawyer, and a blue double-ring badge on his chest.
His hair was scratched up, revealing his forehead, and he wore a pair of thin-rimmed glasses.
After they sat down, they began to sort out a series of paperwork.
A girl's voice came from behind him: "So handsome." ”
Zhu Shan's movements match, one with white eyes and one with a pout.
Load B!
Soon, the prosecutor also entered the prosecutor's seat.
The prosecutor is a young woman in a full black uniform with a badge on the buttonhole on the left lapel.
She has a low ponytail, and her facial features are atmospheric and beautiful, and she is very majestic.
Zhu Shan thought, this must be the Shu Qiwen Shu prosecutor in the mouth of the two girls.
As the presiding judge and jurors entered, the gavel fell.
"The first criminal trial division of the Yuhe City Intermediate People's Court is now in session."
The defendant was brought out as a young man, in his twenties, who was good-looking, but with a haggard face and a distracted look.
I even feel stupid.
It is hard to imagine that he is a defendant in this rape case.
After the prosecutor read out the indictment, the presiding judge asked the defendant, "Do you have any objections to the indictment?" ”
The defendant raised his head, and his tone was slightly flustered: "There is an objection!" I didn't, rape Zhuoyue! ”
I had heard that he would retract his confession, so the people present did not have any surprise and went directly to the prosecutor's evidence.
Prosecutor Shu first asked for a recording of a phone call to be played, and then said: "This phone call was made by the defendant on the night of the crime after the victim said that he wanted to call the police. If the defendant had not broken the law, why did he make this call? ”
Presiding Judge: "What objection does the defendant have to this evidence?" ”
"I... I ....." The defendant hung his head and was speechless.
At this time, Ling Xiao stood up and calmly faced this evidence: "Presiding judge, from the beginning to the end, the victim is hysterically threatening my client to send him to prison. ”
Ling Xiao looked at the defendant and raised his emotions: "My client, a young man who has just graduated from college and has no social experience, and his family is wealthy, when he hears such a threat, he is helpless and afraid, and wants to use money to prevent an unnecessary trouble, although I don't agree with his behavior, but this is indeed his immature idea at that time, and it does not prove that my client was charged with a crime!" ”
Prosecutor Shu: "At the first trial, the defendant had already admitted to having sex against the victim's will. Invade. Committing an act. ”
Ling Xiao lifted his glasses and turned around: "Presiding judge, please allow me to show evidence." ”
After getting permission, Ling Xiao raised his hand and held up a paper report: "My client, Mr. Ren Xingyan, has a wealthy family since he was a child, and this is all due to his parents' early and greedy nights, and they work hard day and night, so he has lacked the company of his parents and the warmth of his family since he was a child." As a result, they are cowardly, unsociable, not good at talking, and even have mental illness. This is a hospital diagnosis certificate that my client has suffered from mild depression since high school, so in the last trial, in the face of the prosecutor's strong irritation, my client was very panicked and even collapsed......"
Prosecutor Shu stood up: "Oppose!" ”
Ling Xiao added unhurriedly: "Presiding judge, my client fainted before he walked out of the courtroom in the first trial, which is enough to show that he was under great psychological pressure and out of control at that time. Therefore, I advocate that this should fall under the category of limited capacity, and cannot be held accountable for one's own words and deeds. ”
Speaking of this, Ling Xiao propped up the table with both hands, looked at Shu Qiwen sincerely, and said gently: "Here, I also implore the prosecutor not to ask any more questions that stimulate my client's emotions, which will cause my client to have to admit that he did not commit a crime in order to avoid questioning." ”
After two seconds of silence, the presiding judge: "Does the prosecutor have any objections?" ”
Prosecutor Shu shook his head and said no.
Although Prosecutor Shu was temporarily defeated by Ling Xiao, she did not panic at all, and she showed a medical test report, which clearly proved that the victim had sperm belonging to the defendant. Liquid.
Ling Xiao stood up calmly, and his tone was a little sharp: "I have objections to this!" This is just proof that my client and the victim did have sex that night. acts, but does not prove this sex. The act was against the woman's will. ”
Prosecutor Shu: "The victim and the defendant are not in a relationship. ”
Ling Xiao looked at the presiding judge: "Presiding judge, please allow me to ask my client questions. ”
After getting permission, Ling Xiao turned to look at the defendant and asked, "Mr. Ren Xingyan, may I ask what is the relationship between you and the victim, Miss Zhuo Yue, and why did you have sex that night. Yes. For? ”
Ren Xingyan lowered his head and elaborated in a stiff tone: "After working overtime that night and all the staff left, I was going to send her home, but she said that she wanted to see the stars and go to the top of the mountain, so I took her there, and then she said that she liked me very much and asked me if I wanted to be with her, what I was thinking at the time was that we had known each other for a short time, and I had just joined the company, and my parents would definitely think that I was not serious about my work..."
Ling Xiao: "So, you refuse to fall in love with her?" ”
"Yes." Ren Xingyan nodded, "And she... She suddenly jumped over and kissed me and untied my belt... I... I ......"
The defendant suddenly became emotional: "It was really her who took the initiative!" I'm not lying! I'm really not lying! ”
Presiding Judge: "Please stay calm!" ”
"Alright, alright." Ling Xiao raised his hand, his tone soft and comforting, "Mr. Ren Xingyan, no one said you lied, you don't have to be nervous, take a deep breath and adjust your emotions." ”
Ren Xingyan nodded and slowly collected his emotions.
Ling Xiao turned to look at the presiding judge: "Presiding judge, I want to apply for our witnesses to appear in court." ”
There are three witnesses to Ling Xiao.
The first witness, an employee of the same company as the victim and the defendant, said that he had seen the victim buy breakfast for the defendant and had also seen the defendant personally send the victim home after work.
The second witness, the victim's ex-boyfriend, said that last month, the victim filed for a breakup without warning.
The third witness was Wang Ting, a roommate who shared a room with the victim.
Ling Xiao: "Wang Ting, do you know what the relationship between the victim and the defendant is?" ”
Wang Ting scratched her hair: "Zhuoyue and I are in an ordinary shared relationship, and we don't have a deep friendship, but I have seen the defendant send Zhuoyue home a few times." ”
Ling Xiao: "Then did they have any intimate behavior?" ”
Wang Ting: "Hold hands, and... Kiss. ”
Prosecutor Shu stood up: "Oppose!! ”
Ling Xiao tilted his head, and his tone was a little helpless: "What are you against?" ”
Shu Qiwen: "The defendant's lawyer has the intention of guiding the witnesses, and the victim and the defendant are in a relationship. ”
"I didn't say they were a couple." Ling Xiao sighed and said helplessly, "Presiding Judge, please allow me to continue to ask questions. ”
With the permission of the presiding judge, Ling Xiao continued to ask: "Excuse me, has the victim had any financial troubles recently?" ”
Wang Ting: "Definitely not. ”
Ling Xiao: "Why are you so sure?" ”
Wang Ting: "Because she told me that when the shared lease expires next month, she doesn't plan to share a house with me, and says she wants to live in a big house." ”
After the witness withdrew from the courtroom, Ling Xiao spoke: "From the above witnesses, I learned that the victim and my client are in the stage of ambiguous relationship, and even did not break up with their ex-boyfriend in the early stage of their ambiguous relationship with my client. ”
Speaking of this, the corners of Ling Xiao's mouth hooked: "Of course, I don't want to criticize the victim's emotional and moral issues here." What I want to say is that after the victim had an affair with my client, she first chose to break up with her ex-boyfriend, and then told her roommate that she wanted to live in a big house. ”
Prosecutor Shu: "What does this have to do with the case?" ”
Ling Xiao took a piece of paper evidence from Li Shang's hand and held it up: "Presiding Judge, this is the victim's online loan record, which can prove that she is currently in the stage of financial constraints, and it is... Very tight. She is in dire need of a large sum of money to pay off her debts, but she has said that she wants to live in a big house, and she seems to have found a solution to pay off her debts. My client worked as the vice president of his own company after graduating from college, and it is difficult for me not to suspect that the victim was purposeful ......"
"Against!" Prosecutor Shu stood up, a little excited, "The defendant's lawyer is a groundless guess!" ”
Presiding Judge: "The defendant's lawyer should pay attention to his wording. ”
"Okay." Ling Xiao's expression was restricted, "Then I will continue to explain the objective facts, the objective facts are that based on the victim's current economic situation, it is very reasonable for her to want to determine the relationship with my client, and the contemporary ambiguous young men and women are sex. Yes. It's not surprising. ”
After a period of debate, Prosecutor Shu continued to present evidence.
It is a photo of the victim's hands and feet tied, as well as multiple injuries on his body.
Prosecutor Shu: "If the victim was voluntary, how could these injuries appear?" Moreover, the victims are still in poor mood and are in the hospital. ”
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, not at all cramped in the face of such strong evidence: "These injuries can only prove that the victim was injured, but they cannot prove that they had sex with my client. Yes. Moreover, the prosecutor probably did not find any evidence that left these scars. ”
Ling Xiao lowered his head, his voice was small but enough to be heard: "If I found evidence, I would have taken it out a long time ago." ”
The tone is really owed.
Shu Qiwen lowered her head and continued to flip through the documents on the desk, but it was obviously not as calm as when the court was in session.
Later, she continued to provide evidence, which was refuted by Ling Xiao.
Presiding Judge: "Based on the witness testimony provided by the prosecution and defense, the collegial panel will deliberate, and the court will now adjourn, and the next court session will be notified separately." ”
The gavel fell, and everyone began to pack up.
Zhu Shan looked at Ling Xiao's back as he left the court, and her little heart went up and down.
He's even more terrible than when he was a kid!
How do you talk at night?
The conversation between the two young women came from behind him again.
"It's worthy of Ling Lu, this can be turned over!"
"That's amazing! It's a worthwhile trip, and I want to write it in my paper. ”
"It's so worshipful."
Zhu Shan turned around and glanced at them, but was suddenly asked by one of the girls, "Wow, you are also a lawyer?" I can't really see it. ”
Zhu Shan frowned: "Why do you say I'm a lawyer?" ”
"Don't you have a lawyer's badge on your chest? Nowadays, you are a good lawyer who always remembers the duties of a lawyer. ”
Zhu Shan looked down at her chest.
Ling Xiao's coat has a round gold badge pinned to his chest, and the words "ZG lawyer" are on it.
Zhu Shan followed the crowd out of the courthouse, and then saw that Ling Xiao had changed into his original gray suit.
He didn't wear a tie, and the collar of his shirt was slightly open, so that his collarbone could be seen.
His hair was lowered to cover his forehead, and his glasses were removed.
Sure enough... Pack B.
Zhu Shan immediately changed her face the moment Ling Xiao's gaze smashed over, trotted over with a smile, and patted her ass with her thumb with both hands: "Brother Ling Xiao, awesome!" ”
