If you were asked to file a lawsuit, how come you were not found guilty?

Chapter 139 A murderer will not admit that he is a murderer
The presiding judge did not make a decision directly, but first asked the defendant for his opinion, which made Ren Zhen feel better about him again.

In fact, according to normal court proceedings, after the prosecutor has finished questioning, it is the defender who should ask questions to the defendant.

Next is the presentation and cross-examination of evidence by both parties, and then enters the court debate.

However, this trial was originally a second trial, and it was a second trial that took place many years ago. If the normal trial process was followed, it would inevitably reach a deadlock.

If it is another ordinary case where the facts are unclear and the evidence is insufficient, then there is a high probability that the case will be handled as if the crime was not suspected.

But Hu Jitu has been imprisoned for so many years, and to directly acquit him is bound to cause an uproar.

Therefore, all doubts must be dispelled today before a final decision can be made.

This did not even require communication, and the prosecution, defense and trial parties had already reached a consensus.

"agree."

Hu Jitu looked at Ren Zhen eagerly, obviously waiting for his decision.

Seeing that Ren Zhen agreed, he quickly nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then please invite Jiang Maofa, the first-instance judge of this case, and Feng Zhigang and He Yunbing, the investigation and law enforcement officers, to come to court."

The court door opened and three middle-aged men entered one after another.

Seeing them coming in, Hu Jitu subconsciously turned his head to look. When he saw Feng Zhigang walking in the middle, Hu Jitu was shocked and turned his head to the side uncontrollably.

Seeing Hu Jitu's reaction, Ren Zhen tapped his fingers on the table and focused his eyes on the fat figure.

Feng Zhigang, Director?

"We have already communicated what we are doing here today, so let's get started directly?"

Bao Yangjun asked. Among these three people, except He Yunbing, whom he met for the first time, he had met the other two more or less several times, especially Jiang Maofa. They had even attended many meetings of the court system at the same time.

Seeing the three people nodding, Bao Yangjun had no unnecessary nonsense.

"Feng Zhigang and He Yunbing, you both served in the E City Law Enforcement Bureau in 20XX. After receiving the report from Hu Jitu on the evening of April 20, 4XX, both of you went to the scene of the crime, right?"

He Yunbing looked to be in his 30s and nodded when he heard Bao Yangjun's question.

Being called by his full name, Feng Zhigang subconsciously felt a little unhappy, but when he thought that the person calling him was a judge, and now he was in the court, the dissatisfaction in his heart suppressed, and he nodded.

"This interrogation transcript on April 4 shows that the defendant Hu Jitu admitted on that day that he had sexually assaulted the victim and killed her. Is this your interrogation transcript?"

Photos of the interrogation transcript were played on the screen, and the clerk also brought the original document that had been kept for more than ten years in front of them and asked them to confirm it.

Looking at the already yellowed paper, and then at the photos on the screen, He Yunbing glanced at Feng Zhigang, Feng Zhigang raised his chin, and He Yunbing raised his head.

"Yes, this is the interrogation transcript we made."

This interrogation transcript had been submitted as evidence during the first trial, not to mention that it was important evidence for them to identify Hu Jitu as the murderer, so it was naturally impossible for them to deny it.

"But according to defendant Hu Jitu's statement, the content of this interrogation transcript was not what he said personally."

The clerk took away the evidence. Facing the presiding judge's question, Feng Zhijun frowned:
"Have you ever seen a murderer admit that he is a murderer?"

This was said very rudely, and Bao Yangjun became angry immediately.

You are here today to assist us in our work. On the court's territory, can you show some basic respect to the judge?

Oh, you mean, as long as your law enforcement agency can tell that the prisoner is lying, we are all S13, right?

How can you, a deputy director, be so angry?

"You're the murderer!"

Before Bao Yangjun could say anything else, Hu Jitu suddenly jumped up in the dock, startling everyone.The bailiff quickly pressed Hu Jitu down, but could not hold his mouth: "You rode on horseback and handcuffed me to the radiator to beat me, and you also lied to me that he was not dead, and you could go home if you admitted it. This is naked murder!
A person like you is worthy of it.”

"Hujitu!"

Ren Zhen shouted loudly, the volume was so loud that the ears of Chang Jiahang next to him were buzzing.

Hu Jitu was stunned for a moment when Ren Zhen yelled at him, his red eyes a little lost in thought.

Under Ren Zhen's gaze, Hu Jitu stopped moving. The bailiff slowly let go and made sure that he was quiet, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"President, let's continue."

Ren Zhen glanced at Feng Zhigang, then nodded toward the trial seat.

"Hu Jitu, if you make a mistake, you must be punished. Don't think that you can just find a lawyer and mess around on the Internet."

The two words Hu Jitu said made Feng Zhijun and He Yunbing's expressions change immediately. Feng Zhijun stood up immediately and was about to reprimand them.

"Will the murderer admit that he is a murderer?"

Bao Yangjun's voice suddenly sounded, and the volume was not much lower than that of Ren Zhen just now. It just overpowered Feng Zhijun's voice.

Ok?
Feng Zhijun was embarrassed and had to sit down angrily. Bao Yangjun obviously didn't intend to listen to him.

"It doesn't matter what we say. The court just wants to ask for your opinion. Do you have any thoughts on the discrepancy between the defendant's confession and your interrogation transcript?"

Bao Yangjun's words were quite polite and did not mean "I suspect your interrogation transcript is false" at all.

"What's the idea?"

Seeing that Feng Zhijun was still sulking, He Yunbing took the question from the presiding judge: "When I asked him at the time, he did admit it. Now that we have seen the second trial, he must have retracted his confession!"

"You mean Hujitu lied?"

Seeing Hu Jitu's chest rising and falling again, Bao Yangjun asked.

"There are some prisoners who don't lie."

He Yunbing replied matter-of-factly: "And we didn't convict him based on his confession alone. Didn't we also submit other evidence back then? The public prosecution agency and the judge have both confirmed it, so what's there to worry about?"
If the criminal suspect denies his confession and just pretends he has never done anything, then what else do we need to do?What else do you need from your court? "

Feng Zhigang was very satisfied when he heard that his former subordinate was justified.

Well, Xiao He is very sensible. Why didn't you notice it before?

"Regarding the evidence you submitted"

Bao Yangjun pondered for a while and looked at Ren Zhen: "Defender, you have many objections to the first trial. Why don't you also express your views on the evidence?"

Wonderful!

Ren Zhen almost couldn't help but give Yang Jun a thumbs up.

Let Feng Zhigang and others assist in the investigation. Logically speaking, only the presiding judge can ask questions.

But now it comes to the evidence. Asking the judge to question the evidence is equivalent to asking the judge to cross-examine, which is obviously inappropriate.

Bao Yangjun said this, well, I just want you to express your views on the evidence, not to debate with Feng Zhigang and others.

Reasonable.

"Regarding the evidence identified in the first instance"

Ren Zhen glanced at the list of evidence: "I think it's very strong!"
