Chapter 358: Chen Dong's self-confidence
After sitting down, I whispered to Song Zhengqiao, "What kind of way are these third-party jurors?" ”
"This third-party juror seems to have been found by the city bureau, most of them are some media, and some people who have the right to speak, what they want to do is to publicize this case, I guess they will still have some excessive demands, and we will improvise when the time comes, you say."
I nodded at Song Zhengqiao and said, "I understand, I will go toe-to-toe with them when the time comes, if their opinions are illogical." ”
Seeing my attitude, Song Zhengqiao seemed to be very satisfied, nodded at me, and said, "Okay, let's prepare." ”
I glanced back and saw that in the auditorium, Old Wolf and Huang Na were sitting there.
Seeing me look back, the old wolf nodded at me, indicating that he had seen it, while Huang Na quietly gave me a thumbs up, as if to cheer me on.
I smiled at Huang Na to show that I saw him cheering me on.
"Hearing." The judge slammed on the table.
All of us stood up. Under the leadership of the judge, we have to do it all over again, which is the preparation that should be there before the trial.
After we sat down, the judge said to us, "Today we are not discussing the case, we are discussing the place where the verdict of this case will be announced." ”
The place of judgment is a new term, for me.
Seeing my puzzled face, this time without waiting for my inquiry, Song Zhengqiao said to me, "That's the case, because we are in a district court, because this case has risen to a certain height, and the district court cannot make the decision to deal with this case, so he has to hand over this case, as for where to hand it over, it is a matter for us to discuss, we must fight on the basis of reason, if we can raise this case to the provincial court to pronounce the verdict, or if the judgment is pronounced across the city, Then you can offset part of Chen Dong's influence on this case and the judge. ”
Although Song Zhengqiao is not wrong in saying this, I know that the impact of the offset may not be too big, Hua Tian is supporting Chen Dong behind his back, and Hua Tian can't throw money again.
Looking at my frowning appearance, Song Zhengqiao didn't say anything else to me.
He didn't understand why I was frowning, and now in the courthouse, I couldn't explain anything to him.
"Alright, now you can make your voices heard." The judge said to us after tapping the table with a small hammer.
Song Zhengqiao gave me a look, and I raised my hand to the judge.
The judge put his hand over to me and said to me, "Say whatever you want." ”
"I suggest that we go up to the provincial court to adjudicate this case, after all, this case has now risen to this point, and the municipal court may not be enough."
All at once, I said to the judge what we wanted.
Song Zhengqiao gave me a thumbs up under the table, and no one else could see it.
"What do you think?" The judge looked at Chen Dong's side.
Chen Dong was still wearing a police uniform at this time, stood up unhurriedly, and glanced at me, with a look of disdain in his eyes, I could see clearly.
"We don't have any opinions on our side. There is no difference between the provincial and municipal courts for our prosecution. ”
After saying this, Chen Dong sat down slowly, and I was thinking about what Chen Dong said, how could there be no difference, even if Hua Tian is willing to spend more money, but when he can fight for it, Chen Dong should still fight for it.
Just as I was thinking about this, the judge suddenly struck the table with a small hammer and said to us, "Within a week, the provincial court did not have free time to take this case, so it was transferred to the municipal court. ”
No way. I scolded fiercely in my heart, and when I heard this answer, I almost scolded it out of my mouth, but I still held it back at the last moment.
I finally understood why Chen Dong was not in a hurry and was not afraid of anything, just because this court had been left behind by him.
It's hard to say whether the judge favored Chen Dong or what, but the only thing that is certain now is that Chen Dong has the upper hand.
I subconsciously looked over to Chen Dong, and Chen Dong glanced at me with a look of disdain in his eyes.
It seems that Chen Dong has absolute confidence in this case.
"Is there anything else you guys are doing?" The judge looked at us, while I looked at Song Zhengqiao, and I don't know if Song Zhengqiao has any other demands.
Song Zhengqiao shook his head at me gently, indicating that he had no other demands.
But he didn't speak, and I should have said it, so I stood up and said to the judge, "We don't have anything else to do." ”
"Is there anything else you guys are up to?" The judge looked towards the prosecution's side, which was Chen Dong's side.
There is also a man beside Chen Dong, and that man looks like he is full of evil spirits, I don't know if it is due to subjective factors.
Chen Dong shook his head slightly, indicating that he had nothing else to do, while the judge looked at the third-party jury.
"Do you have any other suggestions?" The judge asked the third-party jury.
A man who looked to be in his 40s and had a beard slowly raised his hand.
After seeing the man raise his hand, I didn't feel anything wrong, I didn't know the man, it should be from a certain media, I want to ask a question.
But Song Zhengqiao, who was on the side, scolded, "Damn." ”
I glanced at Song Zhengqiao suspiciously, not knowing what he meant, but Song Zhengqiao still didn't explain it to me.
After all, in court, we can't say too much, otherwise we will look a little weak to others.
The middle-aged* man stood up and said to the judge, "Judge, I propose that we media want to put a camera on top of the courtroom. ”
"I'm against it." Song Zhengqiao stood up immediately, "The camera will interfere with my client, which will affect the whole case." ”
The middle-aged man didn't pay attention to Song Zhengqiao's words at all, but continued to say to the judge, "Your Excellency, I think that after arranging the camera, the entire process of the verdict will be shown to the people, which will be convenient for improving the credibility of our court and its influence among the people." ”
"Do you have to use a video camera?" The judge didn't give Song Zhengqiao a chance to speak, so he asked the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man also didn't understand what the judge meant by asking?
"I agree with what you said, and I would like to increase the credibility and influence of the court and our relevant institutions among the people, but can't you prepare a surveillance camera to put it there?"
"Okay, I see." The middle-aged man said yes to the judge and sat down.
Song Zhengqiao was a little excited at this time, and hurriedly said to the judge, "Judge, this is biased, the case we decided is a criminal case involving juveniles, do you think it's really good to send these things to the media?" I've filed a motion on my side, and I'm against having cameras in the courtroom. ”
"We can use other technical means to protect your two principals."
"Mosaics don't work either, it's about the privacy of both of them." Song Zhengqiao did not give an inch.
"There is no privacy in the courtroom." The judge struck the table with his little hammer, "If you have no other opinions, adjourn the courtroom, select the jurors, and in three days, open to the public." ”
