Chapter 509: Verdict of Not Guilty, Chance to Give It Away!

Zhang Hongtao's case, after Su Bai finished the means, the trial process went relatively fast.

Originally, the card was stuck in the process of some court hearings, and it will not pass the process until the deadline.

In other words, the process is always saying that the file is wrong, the format of the document is wrong, and it needs to be rejected and filled in again.

But now that the means are over, none of these things exist.

I have to say ....

Sometimes, some unspoken rules and tricks should be followed.

Otherwise, the other party uses some unspoken rules and tricks, and then your own side can only suffer a dumb loss.

And it's still a big loss.

Just like in Zhang Hongtao's case, the other party's bug and the use of edge regulations can completely extend the time for Zhang Hongtao to supplement evidence for investigation to one year.

Is a year long?

To be honest, it's not long.

In some criminal cases, supplementary evidence can be supplemented for up to two or three years.

In comparison, a year is not a long time.

But what is the reality, the reality is that those supplemental evidence for several years are all major criminal cases, which may involve multiple lives or national criminal incidents.

The suspect is a heavy sentence between a suspended death sentence and a death penalty!

And what is Zhang Hongtao's case?

Zhang Hongtao himself was sentenced to six months in prison.

It took one year to investigate and supplement evidence, which is far longer than the sentence of Zhang Hongtao sentenced in the first instance.

In this case, the other party must not have followed the formal legal route.

So....

Su Bai also simply found some tricks and used methods, at least to ensure that the other party would not take advantage of any more marginal behavior.

As it turns out, the effect is clear.

The court quickly informed the parties of the exact time of the hearing.

On the day of the trial.

The Provincial High Court shall conduct a trial of this case in accordance with the corresponding trial procedures and trial dates.

At this trial, Xiao Shan had already made up his mind in his heart, that is, to declare Zhang Hongtao innocent, but to put pressure on the Intermediate Court to expel him from public office.

So this time in the trial, what Xiao Shan needs to do is very simple, that is, to make a judgment according to the original plan.

Zhang Hongtao was acquitted.

It is difficult to find Zhang Hongtao guilty, but it is very simple to find Zhang Hongtao not guilty.

After the trial has begun.

All parties are seated.

Xiao Shan, as the presiding judge, directly asked Su Bai to state the relevant litigation claims after completing the various trial processes.

"Please ask the appellant to entrust a lawyer to state the appellant Zhang Hongtao's litigation claims."

As the appellant's lawyer, Su Bai opened his mouth to state:

"Presiding judge, this time we will plead not guilty."

"As the appellant, our client was convicted of dereliction of duty and perverted the law in the first instance."

"We filed a second-instance lawsuit in accordance with the law."

"The following is our defense of not guilty."

"In the judgment of the first instance, we believe that our party did not arbitrarily adjudicate the law, and there was no dereliction of duty."

"The reason is that in the judgment of the first instance, the most critical point of the judgment that our party has violated the law is that our party has a certain tendency in the judgment."

"Subjectively biased in favor of the plaintiff at the time."

"But I would like to ask the prosecutor and the presiding judge at the scene."

"It's normal to have a tendency to be subjective, it's human nature."

"After all, the presiding judge may also have a certain degree of subjectivity in this trial."

"However, if the judgment is only made in accordance with the scope of the law, then it is a reasonable judgment and a normal judgment, and there is no such thing as arbitrary judgment."

"In addition, our client has made many explanations to explain which law and which provision he applied at that time to make a judgment."

"At this point, there is evidence to prove it."

"Our party was lawful and reasonable in the judgment at that time, and our party Zhang Hongtao did not meet the corresponding conditions for the crime of perverting the law in dereliction of duty."

"Based on the above...."

"We applied for the second instance to change the verdict to our innocence."

Su Bai's statement is relatively simple and clear, which roughly means that Zhang Hongtao, as a party, did not make the judgment illegally.

The content of the judgment is reasonable and reasonable, and it is all based on the law.

Equally....

It also explains why Zhang Hongtao is tendentious.

Everyone will have tendencies, and Su Bai was also fighting for the presiding judge's tendencies in the previous trial.

Therefore, from this point of view, the presiding judge's inclination and which side he leans towards is a reasonable and normal situation.

As long as there is no transfer of interests, there is no judgment in violation of laws and regulations.

Then it is not dereliction of duty in the judgment.

After Su Bai finished stating the lawsuit application, Xu Mingyuan, as the prosecutor, had already been greeted by Xiao Shan.

This time, as a prosecutor, he only needs to cooperate with Xiao Shan, as the presiding judge, to push forward the trial.

There is no need to communicate too much with Su Bai at the trial, or there is no need to specifically accuse Zhang Hongtao as a criminal suspect.

At the trial, Xu Mingyuan only gave a detailed description of what Zhang Hongtao had done.

and thought that Zhang Hongtao's behavior was inappropriate.

As for the rest, there is not much to say.

The rest of the trial is that Xiao Shan, as the presiding judge, is asking Zhang Hongtao some subjective thoughts and some subjective concepts.

The progress of the trial was very rapid.

During the questioning session, no judgment was made, and the court made a statement.

At this trial, it was obvious that neither the presiding judge nor the prosecutor were willing to convict Zhang Hongtao of this act.

Su Bai was also very aware of this in his heart, because he could detect this from the trial.

Of course, he also knew why the prosecutor and the presiding judge were reluctant to state Zhang Hongtao's guilt at trial.

This is because Zhang Hongtao's behavior itself did not reach the level of dereliction of duty and arbitrary judgment in the strict sense.

In this case, if the presiding judge and the prosecutor believe that Zhang Hongtao is guilty.

Then as Zhang Hongtao's entrusted lawyer, he can initiate a supervision review!

This is also the reason why the presiding judge and the prosecutor avoided talking about Zhang Hongtao's guilt in this trial.

Since there is such a practice, there is a great possibility and probability that Zhang Hongtao will be found not guilty in this trial.

Therefore, in the court statement, Su Bai did not make many statements, but objectively described some facts.

On the other hand, when the prosecutor made a statement, Xu Mingyuan directly gave up the statement.

In this regard, Xiao Shan, as the presiding judge, directly announced the end of the trial.

The gavel is sounded and the verdict is read.

"In this trial, the appellant Zhang Hongtao appealed, arguing that the Huishi Intermediate People's Court objected to the first-instance judgment of its client, sentencing Zhang Hongtao to six months in prison for dereliction of duty."

"Now the Canton Provincial High Court has made a second-instance judgment on the case."

"The verdict reads as follows:"

"The first-instance verdict was rejected and Zhang Hongtao was acquitted!"

“.….”

When Xiao Shan read out the verdict, he announced it very simply, and Zhang Hongtao, who was sitting in the appellant's seat, let out a long sigh after hearing the verdict.

After such a long time, and all kinds of difficulties and ups and downs in the middle, now he has finally been acquitted!

Now that he has been acquitted, Zhang Hongtao has set his sights on the appellant's lawyer's seat.

Looking at Su Bai, Zhang Hongtao's eyes were full of tears.

He was originally a court official with a sense of justice and a great future.

Who would have thought that the judgment of the normal conduct of the law would be unjustifiable?

But this incident happened to him, and he didn't have any ability to resist.

If you are an ordinary person, you may have a deep despair of powerlessness in the face of this kind of thing.

Or take the initiative to admit guilt and accept punishment, and admit your fate!

But the stubbornness in his bones did not allow him to admit his guilt and accept punishment, and now he can be regarded as ushering in his own dawn.

Call....

Zhang Hongtao took a deep breath and declared himself innocent in court, so he needed to be released in court.

After the presiding judge announced his innocence, the bailiff immediately released Zhang Hongtao from control.

Zhang Hongtao walked to the lawyer's seat entrusted by the appellant and bowed deeply to Su Bai:

"Lawyer Su, thank you...."

"If it weren't for you, Lawyer Su, I would have waited until the verdict of my acquittal was announced, probably at least two or three years."

"Thank you, Lawyer Su."

Zhang Hongtao bent deep to express his gratitude.

Su Bai picked up Zhang Hongtao and said with a smile: "This is what I should do." ”

"This is in the courtroom, so I don't need to say too much about gratitude, let's go back and say it."

"Well, okay Lawyer Su."

Zhang Hongtao took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and then glanced at the presiding judge Xiao Shan and prosecutor Xu Mingyuan, who were preparing to leave the table.

He knew very well in his heart that the reason why this case had gone through so many ups and downs was because there was a certain tendency and partiality on the court side and the prosecutorial side.

Especially Xiao Shan and Xu Mingyuan, one of these two people is the one who directly tried him, and the other is the person in charge of the case.

The two of them, in his case, played a role equivalent to persuading him to admit guilt and accept punishment.

So for these two people, it's impossible to say that there is no grudge, it's just.... Zhang Hongtao understands that this case is likely to end here.

Even if the two had any favoritism in the past, and persuaded him to admit guilt and accept punishment, because there was no evidence, they could only stop it.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hongtao couldn't help but feel a little pity.

If such people are not removed, then it is very likely to affect the local judicial environment.

To tell the truth, this is unacceptable to Zhang Hongtao, as a presiding judge, as a relatively fair presiding judge.

It's just that judging from the current situation, even if he can't accept it, it doesn't seem to affect others.

The case is closed.

Baijun Law Firm.

Zhang Hongtao said hello to his family as soon as the case ended, and then hurried to Baijun Law Firm.

Find Su Bai to express his gratitude.

At the same time, he also expressed his thoughts to Su Bai after this case.

"The conclusion of this case has already proved that I have not committed any illegal and criminal acts, and it is estimated that I will be able to go back to serve as the presiding judge after a while."

"It can be regarded as being able to help a group of ordinary people, and in the law, they can protect their rights and interests."

In general, public officials are dismissed on suspicion of criminal conduct.

However, if it is confirmed that there is no suspicion of a crime and it is confirmed that it was just a misunderstanding, then the establishment will be restored to the time being.

Zhang Hongtao's idea is very good, and when this matter is over, he will be able to return to his post.

Let's help ordinary people protect their legal claims.

Su Bai smiled and nodded: "Hmm! ”

"Mr. Zhang, it's good that you have this idea."

"It is very difficult for ordinary people to protect their legal rights and interests in the face of some powerful people, people with backgrounds, or people who know a little about the law."

"Do this.... It does protect the legal rights and interests of ordinary people. ”

"That's a great thing."

Zhang Hongtao nodded: "It's indeed a good thing...."

"It's just a pity.... Although my case is over, I have been given a clean slate. ”

"But the people who framed me, and the people who tried to persuade me, and the people who tried to judge me for my crimes, didn't have much of an impact."

"They are in the judiciary, and they completely affect the justice of the judiciary...."

"But.... The other party did not have any violations of rules and discipline in my case, and should have planned for a long time. ”

"This thing.... I don't think I'll give a good statement in the end. ”

Regarding the situation stated by Zhang Hongtao, Su Bai agreed.

In this case, although there is a huge partiality on the part of the court and the procuratorate, they want to make Zhang Hongtao admit guilt and accept punishment, and they want to judge Zhang Hongtao guilty.

However, in all judicial procedures, the procedure is followed.

In this case, even a supervisory review will not be able to produce any results.

That's where the better mindset comes in.

But fortunately, Zhang Hongtao's mentality is relatively stable and he doesn't care too much about this.

It's just that after Zhang Hongtao left the office, Xiao Li's face with a sense of justice was full of anger.

"Lawyer Su.... No matter how you look at this case, Zhang Hongtao has suffered a big loss. ”

"And in detention for so long."

"Is it possible that you can only get some compensation for such a long time?"

"I think it's like Xu Mingyuan and Xiao Shan, they said they should all be sent in!"

Li Xuezhen was puffing out angrily.

Su Bai smiled: "If you want to send people in, you need to have evidence." ”

"However, in this case, the other party did not leave any evidence, nor did there any violations of rules and disciplines."

"In this case, it will definitely not be delivered."

Hearing this, Li Xuezhen was depressed: "That's a pity!" ”

.

….

However, half a month after Zhang Hongtao's innocence was announced, things took a turn for the better.

Zhang Hongtao called Su Bai, and after the phone was dialed, Zhang Hongtao hurriedly spoke:

"Lawyer Su, I may have another case on my side that needs to be entrusted by you."

Before Su Bai could react, Zhang Hongtao continued to speak:

"According to the regulations, I am not guilty and should be reinstated in my official status."

"But the court dismissed me for violating the provincial law by imposing a penalty for violating the provincial law!"

"Lawyer Su...."

"I strongly disagree with this decision of dismissal, and I want to ask a lawyer to entrust me with this case and fight again!"

Su Bai was stunned for a moment and was expelled from public office?

And it is a penalty for violating the rules, and the expulsion is carried out....

It is completely unreasonable to make an expulsion during such a period of time.

Could this be Xiao Shan's means?

If this is really the case, then as Su Bai and Li Xuezhen said before, there is no chance to send others in.

Now is your chance!
