Kunming High Court.

Due to the influence and pressure of public opinion, the Supreme People's Court rejected the review of the death sentence.

and asked them to retry the case in the Kunming High Court.

Office of the President.

Guan Dongfeng called the other two judges of the case, Lao Zhang and Lao Xu, to the office.

Guan Dongfeng sat on the sofa and knocked on the table.

"Lao Zhang, Lao Xu, this case is a collegial trial by the three of us."

"Now that the Supreme People's Court has rejected the review of the suspended death sentence, the public opinion on the Internet has made the prosecution and the court not guilty.... The charges against Mencius were dropped. ”

"What should we do now....?"

Lao Zhang frowned, still maintaining his previous opinion:

"Let's not talk about anything else, in terms of public opinion, don't worry about him, it won't affect us anyway."

"The Supreme People's Court rejected the death reprieve because there was no physical evidence of the murder weapons that Meng Ziyi killed Gu Qiao and Xie Wei."

"This...."

"Wouldn't it be nice for the law enforcement and the prosecution to dismiss it and continue to look for these two aspects?"

"As for the retrial...."

"Whether this case is retried or not, the result is still the same, it just means that there is no physical evidence to accuse Mencius."

“.…”

"My personal idea is to delay it for a while, wait for public opinion to stop, or find physical evidence, and then accuse and sentence Mencius."

"How's that going to be?"

Lao Zhang turned his head to look at Guan Dongfeng and Lao Xu.

Guan Dongfeng didn't have any opinions, and this approach didn't have much impact on him.

nodded and agreed with Lao Zhang's statement.

"I agree with Lao Zhang's statement, Lao Xu, what about you? What's your idea? ”

Lao Xu frowned and let out a long sigh.

I wanted to say something, but when I saw the expressions of Guan Dongfeng and Lao Zhang, I shook my head and didn't say anything.

.

….

Inside the detention center.

Su Bai and Meng Ziyi made it clear about the request for a new verdict and the Supreme Court's rejection of the verdict of his death with a reprieve.

Meng Ziyi has been in the detention center for the past few days, and his spirit has been declining.

After hearing Su Bai's news, he obviously recovered, with a trace of energy.

kept talking: "Thank you, Lawyer Su...."

"Lawyer Su.... If the death sentence is rejected and a retrial is requested, am I fine? ”

Su Bai smiled: "Logically speaking, this is the case, but in the follow-up, there are still a series of processes to go, and you may need to continue to stay in the detention center for a period of time." ”

"Okay, understood!"

Mencius nodded heavily, no matter what, as long as he was not sentenced to death, he could be returned to his innocence.

Even if I stayed in the detention center for a while, there would still be no problems.

.

….

After coming out of the detention center, Su Bai took a deep breath.

At the moment, in public opinion.

It's not just the pressure on the court's decision.

Moreover, public opinion is very concerned about the entire trial procedure and whether there are any violations in the entire litigation process.

At the same time, there is good news.

Su Bai's previous submission of the supervision review was originally due to the lack of evidence.

There were only reasons for suspicion and Mencius's confession, and the supervision and review side did not focus on investigating this matter.

But....

In the direction of public opinion, this matter has been magnified a lot in the supervision and review department.

Immediately for ....

In the course of the arraignment and interrogation of Mencius, there were no irregularities in the procedure to focus on the investigation.

A comprehensive inspection of the guards at the time and all aspects of the detention staff was also conducted.

At last!

The results of the survey show that in the process of censorship of Mencius.

There are serious violations of the procedure!.

….

At the first time when the results of the investigation came out, in a certain community.

After Fang Yilong learned the news, he didn't know what to say and fell into silence.

He was in charge of this case, there were serious violations, there were hints from him, but it had nothing to do with him.

But after the supervision and review came out, who should the suspicion of this case point to?

If it is not pointed to Mencius, then is this case still unsolvable?

Could it be that Gu Qiao and Xie Wei, this big and important case that shocked the judicial system, has become an unsolved case?

No!

It certainly can't be an unsolved case!

Thinking of this, Fang Yilong didn't know who to call, and briefly explained that he must find relevant physical evidence, no matter what method is used.

Hanging up the phone, Fang Yilong rubbed his eyebrows, this case requires a time limit, otherwise, he would not be in such a hurry.

After all....

This kind of case has come out, Xie Wei's identity is a bit special, and there must be an explanation.

.

….

In the Baijun Law Firm.

Su Bai exhaled lightly after learning that the supervision and review had made a major breakthrough.

The case .... Now it has been confirmed that a major breakthrough has been made in the supervision review.

Then the next thing is very simple....

At the stage of recording confessions and arraignment of Mencius, it can be said that it was an illegal operation.

Illegal evidence obtained through illegal operations is not to be used as evidence at trial.

So that's pretty straightforward.

It is not used as evidence in the trial, that is, Mencius's previous confession, the identification of the crime scene, or other circumstances are all null and void.

Because it's all illegal evidence.

It is equivalent to - Mencius has no actual evidence to charge him with guilt other than suspicion.

Based on this –

The prosecution should have dropped the case early, or the court should have acquitted the prosecution without obvious evidence.

"Wait.... That's it. ”

Su Bai took a sip of tea, turned his head, and looked at Li Xuezhen, who was excited with a small face on the side.

"Is there any new development in Mencius's case?"

Li Xuezhen nodded seriously: "Yes, Lawyer Su!" ”

"According to the explanation given by the supervision and review department to the public, two criminal investigators have been prosecuted."

Two people....?

This means that the two men provided illegal evidence and were prosecuted.

But....

Regarding the illegal evidence, the prosecutor at that time did not conduct an inspection, is it not the same dereliction of duty?

Again.

On the part of the Intermediate People's Court and the High Court, in the case of an incomplete chain of evidence, the relevant collegial panel members should also be responsible for certain situations.

If it is intentional, then it is likely that there is something like a perverted judgment.

Forget it.

Leave it alone for the time being....

In any case, if nothing else, the case is over here.

Nothing else will arise, and now there is a question waiting for the prosecution to determine the case.

Recognition is complete....

Then the case is over.

.

….

Merely....

As time passed, there was still no sign that the court and the prosecution wanted to retry or withdraw the case.

？？

It stands to reason that in this kind of case, if illegal evidence has been found, then the case can be released on bail pending trial in half a month to a month.

Right now....

Su Bai asked many times when Meng Ziyi would be released on bail pending trial.

But the answers given to him are very vague....

Su Bai didn't understand this very much, could it be that there were any other accidents?

No way....?

.

….

Just when Su Bai was puzzled, the High Court decided to retry the case and notified the corresponding date.

After learning the news of the retrial for the first time, Su Bai exhaled.

A retrial may result in a verdict of not guilty in court.

There should be no surprises ....

Soon it was time for a retrial.

On the day of the trial, Guan Dongfeng continued to conduct the trial.

Although he said that he submitted materials to the Supreme People's Court last time, the High Court needed to retry this trial.

However, in the current supervision and review review, illegal evidence, even if this case is Guan Dongfeng, he insists on making a judgment on Mencius.

The other two members of the collegial panel will not agree.

Su Bai thought silently in his heart.

.

….

At the trial scene, Guan Dongfeng's eyes fell on Su Bai's body, and there was a taste of incomprehension.

Followed by.

Guan Dongfeng asked the prosecution to present relevant evidence and conduct corresponding cross-examination.

Su Bai: ???

Issuing corresponding evidence and cross-examination?

What evidence is produced?

Logically speaking, this trial should have announced that there was no relevant evidence to charge, and that Meng Ziyi had committed a crime, and he was acquitted in court.

But what is the current situation....

The current situation is that the presiding judge has asked the prosecution to cross-examine the evidence....

Su Bai raised his hand and asked, "Presiding Judge, about the defendant in this case, Meng Ziyi." ”

"During the previous review, it was discovered that the criminal investigators had irregularities in the arraignment of Meng Ziyi."

"The evidence obtained is illegal..."

"Based on this, I would like to ask the presiding judge, is there anything else that needs to be cross-examined?"

"Or what legal evidence can accuse the defendant of killing Gu Qiao and Xie Wei?"

The gavel sounded.

The presiding judge, Guan Dongfeng, asked the prosecution to present relevant evidence.

Bai Haojie provided the most critical evidence, physical evidence, and the knife that stabbed Gu Qiao and Xie Wei to death.

When the knife was presented to the court, Su Bai was stunned for a moment.

？？？

Found the murder weapon?!

Meng Ziyi was really a murderer, didn't he wronged him?

But....

Why was the murder weapon never found before, but the murder weapon and evidence were found during the retrial?

TMD！

Wouldn't it be where to get an illegal piece of evidence?!

The case ....

Su Bai looked at the relevant evidence submitted by the prosecution and rubbed his eyebrows.

It's so hard!

.

….

In the presiding judge's seat, Guan Dongfeng looked at the relevant physical evidence provided by the prosecution and nodded.

The physical evidence is supplemented ....

Then there is basically no big problem with this case.

Although, there are some coincidences that this physical evidence appeared here at the point in time.

But now that there is physical evidence.... Then the overall problems involved can be well explained.

Other aspects will not be said for the time being....

With the addition of physical evidence, this case is equivalent to forming a complete chain of evidence.

There is no shortage of relevant proofs to apply for a death penalty review.

Guan Dongfeng continued to speak: "The defendant's party, Meng Ziyi, has confirmed that the murder weapons of Gu Qiao and Xie Wei have been found in response to the physical evidence presented..."

"Is there anything else you would like to say about this basic fact?"

Meng Ziyi shook his head frantically: "Presiding Judge, I didn't kill anyone...."

"I don't know where this physical evidence came from..."

"I really don't know!"

"This murder weapon is not mine!"

Hearing Meng Ziyi's denial, Guan Dongfeng continued to speak: "The murder weapon has been examined, and there are traces and evidence left by you on it. ”

"For this, the relevant certification has been carried out ...."

"You don't have to continue to refute, the most important thing about this case is the relevant physical evidence."

"With the physical evidence, even if you deny it, it is useless, and it is impossible to find you innocent in the courtroom."

"My advice is that you think about it before you answer it."

After Guan Dongfeng finished speaking, he glanced at the litigation materials.

Then he glanced up at Mencius in the defendant's seat.

At this time....

Mencius's psychology was broken, he really didn't know where this evidence came from!

I really don't know!

What can he do, what can he say now?

Originally, he entered the trial scene with a heart that he could restore his innocence, but now new evidence has emerged.

The fact that he was fully accused of murder.

What to do....?

Meng Ziyi set his eyes on Su Bai.

Su Bai exhaled a long breath, this case is obvious.

There are people who deliberately target Mencius and want him to become the backstabber.

Whether it is from the persecution at the beginning, or from the murder weapons and evidence that have suddenly appeared now.

Very.... How to say.... Targeted....

But....

At present, the most important thing is to suspend this trial.

Or rather.... Question the evidence and look for the true source of the evidence.

Otherwise....

The pot of Mencius may really have to be carried on his body and cannot be removed!
