Tribunal.

Closing arguments are ongoing.

The first is Ren Qianning's speech.

"Based on the available evidence, the prosecution believes that the murderer in this case is Zhou Ping'an. He killed the deceased Tan with a knife, and then confused the public with the gesture of an innocent person, and under the packaging of the defense, tried to shift the blame to the disappeared loan shark practitioner, and then obtained innocence. ”

"You can imagine how dangerous it would be if Zhou Ping'an really killed his boss, then he would be a murderer, and a murderer would be acquitted and re-enter society."

"I think it is necessary for us to uphold the original verdict, imprison the murderer Zhou Ping'an, and make him pay for his murder, above!"

Ren Qianning bowed to Chen Rushan in the trial seat, as well as the jury and the hearing seat, and finished speaking.

And now, the pressure is on Alice's side.

on the hearing bench.

Wang Momo and Li Mengluo glanced at each other, and finally Wang Momo came to Zhang Yi's side.

"Zhang Jiejie, what about Alice's closing statement?"

"Don't worry, I've been ready for her a long time ago."

Faced with the doubts of his friends, Zhang Yi gave a reassuring look.

As he spoke, he looked at the defense bench.

Alice crumpled a piece of paper into a ball and muttered as if she were reciting the contents of the paper.

She slowly got up, and walked to the middle of the courtroom under the watchful eye of the audience.

"Ahem, hello jurors, I am lawyer Xiao Du of the ace law firm, of course, you can also call me Alice~"

A deep bow is considered the greatest respect for the jury, and this meeting must be done sufficiently.

The jury and the hearing bench all nodded when they saw Alice gesture like this.

After all, who doesn't love playful and cute girls?

"Let's get down to business, first of all, we need to be clear that the law requires that the prosecutor can clearly prove the guilt of the defendant and there can be no reasonable doubt before he can ask the court to convict the defendant."

"And if there is a doubt, then the interest will go to the defendant; When there is a doubt, it should be in favor of the accused, because that is the principle of the Penal Code. Article 12 of the Criminal Procedure Law clarifies the "principle of conviction by the court", which stipulates that no one shall be convicted without a judgment by the adjudication body in accordance with the law. ”

In fact, there is another derivative principle of the presumption of innocence, that is, "there is no doubt of guilt". Where suspicion of guilt is never required at the trial stage, and it is not sufficient to prove the defendant's guilt or not to prove the defendant's innocence, he shall be presumed innocent. Establishing and adhering to the principle of never guilty in case of doubt demonstrates the civilization and progress of modern criminal justice, and can effectively reduce and avoid the occurrence of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases. ”

"I know that saying this may be too general, people don't like us lawyers to memorize the law, but like us to speak in the vernacular, so I'll briefly explain."

Alice said this, raising a finger, "First of all, why should a verdict be made in favor of the defendant when there is doubt? ”

"I know you may think, if the defendant is really the murderer, and we acquit him, won't we let him slip through the net, let him escape the punishment of the law, and let him probably carry out the next homicide?"

"I guess everyone thinks so, it's more reassuring to put him in jail than to let the defendant escape the law, right?"

This sentence made many people in the court laugh.

But smiling and smiling, everyone's faces became serious, because they consciously felt that such an idea was not too one-sided.

"I want to ask, what is the basis for such a judgment, just because the defendant was at the scene of the murder, the defendant did something suspicious, and the defendant is the murderer nine times out of ten?"

"I guess that when you want to find the defendant guilty, your inner thoughts must be like this: Anyway, I can't do anything illegal in my life, and I can't kill anyone, so these have nothing to do with me, and the defendant may kill someone, so stay in prison for the rest of your life!"

This passage made several older people in the jury subconsciously bow their heads.

Yes, they do have such thoughts.

They have been honest people all their lives, working honestly in the company, living honestly at home, and it is impossible for them to do illegal and criminal things in their lives.

Therefore, in their opinion, since the defendant may kill someone, it is better to send him to prison, so that he can understand the iron fist of the law.

"If you have that thought, then I'd love to tell you that it's not that way, that's not the way it is."

"While it is important to punish the guilty with the law, what about the innocent, if the law is to punish the innocent, is it also justice?"

"It seems to me that the law makes the guilty pay, but it is also more important that the innocent get justice!"

"I'm sure everyone has heard the saying that it is better to misplace ten sinners than to misplace one good person!"

"For this reason, even if there is a small dusty doubt in the case, then the law will make a judgment in favor of the defendant, which is why the interest of the doubt is always in favor of the defendant."

"Please don't jump to conclusions, please imagine that once the person you cherish also suffers something similar today, even if it is not a homicide, even if it is slandered as a thief, this principle should also be applied, and the suspicion of guilt is never for the sake of a certain day in the future, so that everyone can protect the person they cherish the most, and protect everything they value most!"

"Above, thank you for your support, my closing argument is over."

Alice bowed deeply again and thanked the jury and the hearing bench, even the trial seat.

The courtroom fell silent for a long time.

In the end, it was Judge Chen Rushan who took the lead in breaking this depression.

"Knock knock!"

The gavel sounded, and he said in court: "Adjournment, the jury will follow me into the conference room!" ”

This is also the courtroom process, and it is the final process.

The jury and the judge will work together to determine the verdict, while everyone else will have to wait.

on the prosecution's bench.

Ren Qianning and Qi Zhengtian glanced at each other, and the two slowly got up and walked out.

On the defence bench.

Alice turned around and gave Zhou Ping'an a reassuring look, and then saw Zhang Yi coming over.

"Boss, you're very skilled in memorizing closing arguments."

ridiculed, and also exposed how Alice's closing statement came about.

This was all written to her by Zhang Yi.

"Let me ask you, is that closing statement just now really commonly used by that lawyer Zhang San?"

"What, you don't believe it?"

Zhang Yi touched his nose, this closing statement is what he often uses.

How could I be wrong when I wrote it silently?

"But this closing statement always feels too gentle, and it is completely inconsistent with the character of the extralegal fanatic Zhang San?"

"Really?" Zhang Yi secretly exclaimed good guy.

What kind of character is my extralegal fanatic, don't think about it, you little girl.

Even if Zhang San's reputation is not very good to the outside world, he is serious and responsible for every customer, and he does his best to help every party obtain the greatest benefits.

Only occasionally, the methods he uses may be a little bit ......

on the hearing bench.

"Wonderful, really wonderful closing statement!"

Teacher Luo picked up the water cup again and took a sip carefully.

At this moment, he was actually very relieved, because it was an adjournment now, and it was impossible for anyone to disturb him to drink water.

"Teacher Luo, classmate Du should lose!"

Poof-

Not surprisingly, hearing this question, Luo Xiaoxiang sprayed again.

"Ahem, Jia Meimei, what made you have such a wrong idea?"

"Do you think Teacher Luo will win?"

Jia Meimei glared at someone on the defense bench, with only disgust and hostility in her eyes.

Luo Xiaoxiang took a deep breath and finally recovered from the attempted attempt to drink water.

"Student Jia, there are other students, don't you have any ideas after reading the closing statement just now?"

As he spoke, seeing that none of the students answered, he immediately explained: "Xiao Du's closing statement, I can give full marks!" ”

Seeing Teacher Luo say this, some people were immediately unconvinced: "Teacher Luo, did you look down on Classmate Du and actually give a full score?" ”

"No, no, no, this perfect score is deserved."

But Luo Xiaoxiang just smiled: "Haven't you noticed that Xiao Du's closing statement, especially the last paragraph, has changed the principle of suspicion from nothing to a demand." ”

"Demand?"

The students all looked at each other, a little puzzled.

"yes, demand."

Mr. Luo sighed: "He used this principle as an example to turn it into something closely related to the jury. ”

"Think about it, what if you have relatives and friends or family members who commit a crime in the future, even if it is petty theft and are framed, then you can apply the suspicion and never be guilty!"

"Because of this, in the closing testimony, Xiao Du also said that reciting the law is the last thing the jury likes to see, but you can give a vivid and flexible example, which can make the jury feel that this is very important, which is very good."

"Turn your argument into the jury's demand, so that the jury can perceive that it needs this, and then the outcome of the verdict will inevitably be in your favor."

After saying this, Luo Xiaoxiang looked at the defense bench again.

Unexpectedly, among his students, such a genius actually appeared!

Xiao Du's performance today is worthy of her efforts for so many days, presumably for this case, she must have relied on her own efforts to stay up countless nights, right?

If Alice heard this, she would definitely tell Teacher Luo that there was nothing to do.

I go to bed before 10 o'clock every day, and before bedtime I do 20 minutes of gymnastics with the help of Tracey to make sure I don't stress myself at all, and of course, a glass of warm milk before bed is also a must to make sure that I can sleep like a baby until dawn.

After Jia Meimei saw Teacher Luo praising Alice like this, she was immediately angry, because this was not the result she wanted.

But Luo Xiaoxiang is not used to her.

I'm just telling you the truth, this result is not what you thought, what does it have to do with me.

Anyway, I'm pointing back to school now, hurry up and post another post, and then water the campus forum.

No, my hands are already, I want to type, I want to post......

The minutes ticked by.

Waiting is always worrying.

Especially for those who are going to be judged.

"Why hasn't this come yet, hasn't come yet......"

In the front row of the hearing seat, Zhou's mother looked at the closed passage of the door and shouted anxiously.

Beside him, Li Mengluo and Wang Momo, the two sisters, were speechless.

It's only been less than half a minute, and you shouted again, do you know how uncomfortable it is for us to shout like this?

If it weren't for the fact that you were the mother of the person concerned, we really wouldn't want to hear you nag here.

Originally, we had nothing to do with your client, and we were in a good mood, but when you messed with it, we also became anxious.

Finally, in the midst of the nervous waiting of the audience, the passage opened again.

The jury and Chen Rushan all returned to the courtroom.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yi knew it in his heart.

It came so quickly, which means that it didn't take long to deliberate, and the jury obviously reached an agreement easily, and there was no situation where neither side could convince the other.

This kind of situation is exactly what he wants.

The form is one-sided, so which side it is, he doesn't have to guess to know.

The courtroom was once again silent, and the prosecution and defense were once again in place.

"Chief juror, please stand up and answer us, have you already deliberated on the outcome?"

"Yes, Judge Chen, we already have a verdict."

Seeing that the chief juror stood up to respond, Chen Rushan nodded.

"Then, let's announce it!"

Instructed to do so, the chief juror picked up a piece of paper with the verdict recorded, and read aloud: "After the unanimous decision of the jury, we rule that the defendant in this case, Zhou Ping'an, ......"

Everyone in the audience got nervous.

At the hearing seat, Mr. Luo subconsciously glanced at his water glass, and at the same time muttered in his heart, why is it so difficult to drink saliva?

On the prosecution seat, Qi Zhengtian and Ren Qianning were also a little nervous, but Qi Zhengtian seemed to have guessed the result, and Ren Qianning clasped his fingers with both hands, and sweat appeared on his forehead.

On the defense bench, Alice also grabbed the corner of her clothes, as if the next verdict would decide her life and death.

At the hearing seat, Wang Momo, Li Mengluo, and even Zhou's mother, as well as many others, also pricked up their ears nervously, for fear of missing a word.

“…… After the unanimous verdict of the jury, we believe that the defendant Zhou Ping'an is not guilty! ”

In the clear!

The last two words are the real point!

"Oh yes, we've won!"

On the defense bench, Sun Dasheng was the first to jump up.

Because of this result, they tasted victory for the first time.

Zhu Tianpeng also laughed, and his smile became more and more presumptuous.

The corners of Alice's eyes were moist, and after so many days of hard work, she finally won.

It felt so good that she couldn't wait to tell her family the good news.

on the prosecution's bench.

"Is that really the case?"

Qi Zhengtian was not surprised, but looked at the defense bench next door, with a slight hint of helplessness.

Who let the family find a reasonable doubt, and the benefit of the doubt belongs to the defendant.

And Ren Qianning was like a deflated ball, the whole person was stunned and lost his spirit.

"Xiao Ren, think about it after you go back, how to write this report, and one more point, the internal affairs side ......"

Qi Zhengtian looked at Ren Qianning, the latter seemed to have lost his former vitality, and he couldn't bear to say the second half of his sentence.

But he knows that once the case is overturned by the defense, then the prosecution, as the prosecutor, will be in trouble next.

If a convicted offender is found innocent, both the Investigation Section and the Public Prosecutor will be investigated by the Internal Affairs Department to determine whether there is a problem here, which is a necessary process in order to find out whether there have been irregularities in the Investigation Section or the Public Prosecutor.

Even if there is no violation, but being investigated by internal affairs, it is equally unpleasant, after all, no one likes to be investigated, especially if they are still responsible for investigating others.

They like to interrogate people in the interrogation room, but they don't like to be interrogated.

On the trial seat, looking at the faces of all beings in the courtroom, Chen Rushan was expressionless.

"Knock knock!"

The gavel sounded again, and he said loudly: "Defendant, congratulations on your acquittal, and now this court announces that you have been released in court!" ”

With that, he rang the last gavel, announced the result, and left the scene.

Walk without dragging the mud and water.

In front of the judgment seat.

Unlike the cloudy prosecution bench, the defense bench is jubilant.

"Oh, thank you Lawyer Du, I knew you could, thank you so much!"

Mother Zhou rushed to Alice excitedly, holding the little girl's hand, with an excited face.

Alice, of course, was happy, but she was a little speechless inside.

When you scolded me, when you scolded me for rubbish, you didn't have such an attitude.

At that time, you old woman, how ugly and how to scold, why do you have such an attitude now?

Sure enough, a lawyer who loses a lawsuit is not as good as a dog!

"Thank you, Alice, I really don't know how to thank you anymore."

Zhou Ping'an also came to Alice and bowed and thanked him.

"Mr. Zhou, this is what I should do~"

The little girl was very happy, and although she looked scared, she still tried to maintain her ladylike demeanor.

"Congratulations, Mr. Zhou, for regaining your freedom."

The friends also congratulated one after another, and Sun Dasheng, Zhu Tianpeng and others all smiled at Zhou Ping'an.

"Congratulations, Mr. Zhou, on getting rid of the murder charges."

The same is true for Zhang Yi, but his words are slightly different from others.

"Thank you, Assistant Zhang."

Zhou Ping'an and Zhang Yi nodded, but the smiles on their faces were a little stiff.

"Let's go, Mother, we should leave."

"Yes, yes, let's go, let's go!"

Zhou's mother pulled Zhou Ping'an, and the mother and son naturally walked out of the courtroom with a happy face at this moment.

And Zhang Yi watched the two leave, with only a sneer in his eyes.

He glanced at his friends, who were happy.

"Boss, don't mind if I leave for a while, do you?"

"Ah, I'm going to have a celebration banquet when I go back, why don't you participate?"

"Celebration banquet, I won't attend, I have some things to deal with, you just have to have a good time."

Zhang Yi said, said goodbye directly, and did not stop at all.

Although Alice was helpless, she had no choice but to secretly say that it was a pity.

This case can be overturned, and the most important person is Zhang Yi, but he doesn't plan to celebrate, why is this?

Because, he has more important things to do!
