Chapter 073: Justice is in the hearts of the people

If the presiding judge at this moment, in accordance with Huang Weican's request, directly sentenced Xu Hong to be acquitted of legitimate defense, then the gavel that almost fell before is enough to prove that all the trial personnel, including him, are mediocre.

A mediocre man who can only read from the book.

Not only that, although the case was under pressure from the Nanjing Police General Bureau and supervised by the Nanzhili Police Department, the Jiangning People's Court's guilty verdict in accordance with the procuratorate's file undoubtedly announced to the entire Ming people that they were acting in accordance with the procuratorate's requirements.

The three legal divisions of the Ming Dynasty were all independent, and the three-level system of the Criminal Department, the Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple made the unjust, false and wrongful cases in the Ming Dynasty fewer and fewer.

Seeing that it was difficult to ride a tiger, the second juror coughed twice and said: "Since the case is flawed, why don't you report the situation to the Nanjing Intermediate People's Court and let them see how the situation is?" ”

This is a step that everyone can go down, but what Song Boxian doesn't know is that this step is only for the government, and Xu Hong, as the party concerned, will have a lot of variables.

Hearing this, Huang Weican shook his head again and again: "The facts of this case are very clear, and the flaw is the procedural violation of the law when the police side collects evidence, which has nothing to do with my client Xu Hong, and I have already sorted out the problem from beginning to end before, if this cannot get a fair verdict, then I have reason to believe that there is something behind this." ”

Boom...

A silent gavel sounded, and the presiding judge said coldly: "Huang Weican, if you say the facts of the case, you will say it according to the facts of the case, and you have insinuations in your whole sentence, and this judge can completely punish you." ”

Huang Weican was not afraid, he arched his hand towards the judge and said: "Your Excellency, I only said that I was tired, and I didn't clearly say who gave who gave whom, is it possible that others are not allowed to express different opinions in the court?" ”

"That's good..."

The clamor was very abrupt in the solemn place of the courtroom, and everyone was told when they entered the courtroom that they could not make noise in the courtroom without permission, and that the crime of roaring in the court was not something that ordinary people could bear.

However, when everyone looked over, who was sitting in the right side of the auditorium, which was enough to surprise Song Boxian.

The one who spoke was a young man who was not very old, Song Boxian took a closer look, this person was at most thirty-two or three, judging from his recent experience, he was the kind of person with the temperament of the government, and he dared to directly interrupt the judge's words in the court to applaud others, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that this person's identity was not simple.

Without waiting for the jurors to open their questions, the man said coldly: "The Jiangning People's Court is also at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and due to the large number of deaths in this case, all parties have paid attention. ”

The presiding judge's surname is Zhou, and it is impossible for the people in the auditorium to know except for the insiders and Huang Weican, a lawyer, who directly called out his name, and even did not have the title of 'adult', which is enough to prove that this person must be from the government and his rank is not lower than this judge.

"I don't know what to call this one?"

The man ignored the inquiry, sat in the auditorium, crossed Erlang's legs and flicked his knees, not wanting to pay attention to the other party at all.

At this moment, a bailiff walked to the presiding seat and gestured to Judge Zhou's eyes, and Judge Zhou saw the reminder, so he rang the gavel: "Adjourn for 10 minutes... ”

In the lounge outside the courtroom, Judge Zhou anxiously asked, "What is the matter?" ”

The bailiff arched his hand: "My lord, the previous person was from Xichang." ”

"West... West Factory? ”

Judge Zhou was shocked: "Why are people from Xichang meddling in such a small case? ”

"Maybe it's a sitting..."

When Judge Zhou heard this, he immediately came to his senses, where is this?

This is Nanjing, where the crown prince is located, or the settlement of the emperor, the capital of Nanzhili, not to mention the West Factory, that is, there are many people in Jinyiwei and the East Factory, and today's public trial meeting, the people from the West Factory came, and it is reasonable.

Judge Zhou recalled the man's remarks just now, and immediately understood, thought about it, and went straight back to the courtroom.

"Hearing..."

"After discussion by the collegial panel, there are many doubts in this case, and the police have many procedural illegal operations in the collection of evidence, and the procuratorate has made mistakes in sentencing and sentencing, so this court reads out the final judgment..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the line got up, and Song Boxian noticed that including the unruly middle-aged man who had behaved before.

"The verdict is as follows, the procuratorate heard the case file and found the defendant Xu Hong guilty of intentional homicide, and this court declared that the defendant Xu Hong was not guilty of intentional homicide, the facts of this case are clear, and there are a large number of witnesses, therefore, this court ruled that the defendant Xu Hong's legitimate defense was established, and he was acquitted at court, and the persons involved in this case, if they are dissatisfied with the judgment of this court, may appeal to the Nanjing Intermediate People's Court on the second day after the judgment takes effect..."

Boom...

The gavel fell, and the verdict was upheld

"Leave the court..."

Huang Weican did not greet Xu Hong's family, because he didn't know the family at all, and his participation was all because of Song Boxian, who was the party Song Boxian, who left the court directly under the command of the bailiff after Judge Zhou announced his withdrawal from the court.

He doesn't need to be thanked by others, because he feels that what this society needs is a just moral judgment, not a legal judgment that is impartial to reality.

If Xu Hong is still convicted of intentional homicide while protecting his family, then this Da Ming should really be treated.

On the return car, Song Boxian looked at Huang Weican curiously and said: "Uncle Huang, the procuratorate convicted, and the lawyer is also theirs, after listening to your defense, I also feel that this loophole is so big, don't the judges look at it when they hear the file?" ”

Huang Weican smiled slightly: "The people of the Three Law Divisions, except for the capital, after falling into the provinces, governments, and counties, are basically the same words, the reason why Zhou Weixin suddenly changed his tone today, according to my defense judgment, has a lot to do with the young man who opened his mouth, I thought that he was not a member of the Three Law Divisions, or a noble family, with enough influence, or...

It's the people on the other side of the street in Zhengyangmen. ”

Nanjing Zhengyangmen Inner Street is where the six yamen are located, and at this moment, Huang Weican's reference is not the six yamen, but the imperial city, and the Nanjing Imperial City lives in the current crown prince.

"What if it goes according to the past?"

"What should I do?" Huang Weican laughed and said: "Zhou Weixin was originally going to agree with the conviction and sentencing of the procuratorate, but he was annoyed that I suddenly appeared and interrupted his original plan, do you know what will happen if he changes the sentence in court?" ”

Of course Song Boxian didn't know, he stared at Huang Weican, but listened to him continue: "If the verdict is changed in court, if it is not for my reason before, there is no problem, and after I raise questions, the court adjourns for 10 minutes and then changes the verdict, he Zhou Weixin is dereliction of duty, and he will not want to take a step forward in the past 10 years." ”

"Is it so serious?"

"Of course," Huang Weican nodded: "The Criminal Department, the Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple are independent, and the Criminal Department is in charge of arrest and investigation;

The procuratorate is in charge of verifying convictions, sentencing, and public prosecutions; Dali Temple is in charge of trial and judgment, and the three law divisions have their own hills, and he Zhou Weixin represents Dali Temple, and when he does not try the file independently, he directly follows the procuratorate's rules and regulations for conviction and sentencing, and is completely led by the procuratorate.

Today is a public trial, and the people of Dali Temple will not let go of Zhou Weixin, this guy, I really don't know how many benefits he has received behind him, this kind of public trial case dares to come forward and look for death..."

"Then Uncle Huang, will the Nanjing Intermediate People's Court have a second trial?"

Huang Weican shook his head: "The two points of the whole case are the most annoying, one is that the police have violated the procedures for collecting evidence, and the other is that the procuratorate has wrongly convicted and sentenced. ”

"I see..."

Song Boxian now understands the reason, he can't imagine that an ordinary case actually involves so many networks behind it, and Huang Weican's performance today can be regarded as giving him a new understanding of society.

"Uncle Huang, your title of senior barrister is really not in vain..."

Huang Weican smiled: "It's a little meaning... Meaningless..."

.

After Song Boxian said goodbye to Huang Weican, he went straight to Liu Zixi, after all, the two are now a couple, and they left without even finishing their meal at noon, and he was also worried that Liu Zixi would feel uncomfortable.

"Why did you go?"

Song Boxian didn't like to lie very much, so he said: "I went to the auditorium of the Jiangning People's Court." ”

Liu Zixi's eyes widened and said, "You actually went to the scene without me..."

As he spoke, he pouted, and the angry look was really good-looking.

Song Boxian said: "I'm here to be a witness... You know? ”

Liu Zixi was surprised again: "I waited for you to be bored in the afternoon, so I watched the live broadcast on it, so Lawyer Huang is so powerful...

By the way, how did you become a witness? ”

Song Boxian immediately repeated the events of last night to Liu Zixi, just saying that he saw it not far away, but did not indicate that he shot it.

Liu Zixi learned Song Boxian's movements and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, have courage, it should be like this, my Liu Zixi's boyfriend must not do this kind of behavior that is not saved in the face of death." ”

Song Boxian's brows darkened, and then he was displeased: "Zixi, you drank too much..."

Liu Zixi laughed: "Let's go, I bought a movie ticket, and after watching it, let's eat barbecue and drink together..."

"Still drinking?"

Liu Zixi said angrily: "If I don't get drunk, can you have a chance?" ”

Song Boxian: "......"
