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

Chapter 148 Seeing Innocence Again
"quiet!"

The judge's majestic voice made Feng Zhigang's mind clear up a little.

While waiting for the appraisal results, Feng Zhigang was on pins and needles. No one knew better than him how the cases back then were handled.

If Hujitu is found not guilty, as the direct organizer, he will definitely be investigated.

He could only pray that the so-called evidence of Ren Zhen and Ding Jiuyan was forged.

Now that I heard that the evidence was admitted in court, my worries came true, and a certain sense of fear suddenly came up.

"What Captain Feng said is wrong. If someone dies, does it have to be Hu Jitu who killed him?"

Sitting in the prosecutor's seat, Xin Yunping couldn't sit still. He was originally assigned to do this case and was angry. Now one of the culprits who made his job so difficult was right in front of him, and he said such ridiculous things. He couldn't bear it. I can’t help but start arguing:

"The evidence is in front of you, why are you still farting?
Back then, when you went to adjust the surveillance, could you arrest people so hastily?

If it were determined that Hu Jitu was just a reporter, the hunt for the real murderer would have been launched at that time, and the real murderer would have been able to escape justice for so many years?

You handle cases like this, and you can actually sit in the position of deputy director. Are all the people in the Law Enforcement Bureau as brainless as you? "

"Cough cough."

The prosecutor was so angry that several judges had wonderful expressions on their faces. Bao Yangjun coughed twice as a reminder.

Xin Yunping snorted coldly and stopped talking.

I just found out today that the cases we returned for supplementary investigation are considered good. At least the law enforcement officers responsible for them are looking for evidence seriously. They are not sure whether the evidence is sufficient, and they know that if they are sent to us, the worst case scenario is that they will be returned to us. Again.

Our job is a little more difficult, at least no one will go to jail for no reason.

What the hell is this guy called Feng?Report to the dean when you get back, and read his book carefully!
Seeing that the prosecutors all spoke for themselves, Hu Jitu burst into tears.

If this was the prosecutor back then, would I still have suffered so many crimes?
"Who the real culprit in this case is is outside the scope of discussion in today's trial."

Bao Yangjun's tone was indifferent, which could be regarded as answering Feng Zhigang's question.

You can't find the real culprit because you are incompetent. We only judge but not arrest him.

"Next, announce the verdict of this case."

"All rise!"

Feng Zhigang and Jiang Maofa, who had complicated expressions, also stood up.

"According to the provisions of our country's laws, the Public Prosecution Authority of City A, Province A, accused Hu Jitu of rape and murder. The Intermediate People's Court of City E issued (20XX) E Xing Chu Zi No. 20 Criminal Judgment on June 33, [-]XX, concluding that Hu Jitu was guilty of rape. , intentional homicide, sentenced to death.

Hu Jitu was dissatisfied and appealed. This court made a retrial decision on June 20, [-]XX to retrial the case.

A collegial panel was formed in accordance with the law to hear the case in private. The trial has now been concluded.

After trial, this court held that the fact that the defendant Hu Jitu in the original trial raped and killed the victim Yang Meizhi was not corroborated by conclusive and sufficient evidence. The collegial panel decided and based on the relevant laws and regulations of our country, the verdict is as follows:

20. Revoke the (20XX) E Xing Chu Zi No. 33 criminal judgment issued by the E City Intermediate People’s Court on June [-], [-]XX;
[-]. Hu Jitu, the defendant in the original trial, is not guilty.

This decision is final. "

The content of the verdict was quite simple, and before Hu Jitu could even react, the gavel fell heavily.

"Am I innocent?"

Hu Jitu was a little confused.

It wasn't until the bailiff released him and he was hugged tightly by Zhao Yanhong and Hu Tianming that Hu Jitu woke up as if from a dream, and tears suddenly fell down.

"I am not guilty!"

Hu Jitu suddenly howled, hugged his parents, and burst into tears.

Chang Jiahang counted on his fingers beside him, one, two, three, four.
Well, another guilty plea.

Ren Lu and I are really strong!
Everyone was sad to see the family of three finally reunited.

Except three people. "Director Feng, this matter has nothing to do with us, right?"

He Yunbing, who had no sense of presence, asked cautiously. He was just a small person. When he was called here today, he originally thought he would cooperate and ask a few questions.

Why does the current situation seem to be different from what I thought?
"What does it have to do with us?"

Feng Zhigang stared, not knowing whether he was answering He Yunbing or cheering himself up: "It's been so many years, who knows how this case was handled at that time?

We just came here to cooperate. Now he is not guilty and there is another good person in the world. This is a good thing!

We should be happy for Hu Jitu! "

"Yes Yes Yes."

He Yunbing nodded repeatedly. Although it was not like this when Captain Feng was handling the case, he felt relieved when he heard what he said.

That is, I was only responsible for the interrogation for a few hours. What happened next, and what does it have to do with me?
Director Feng said it was okay, so it must be okay!
"Old Jiang, look at this."

After a few perfunctory words to He Yunbing, Director Feng moved closer to Jiang Maofa and lowered his voice.

"What am I looking at? I'm not looking."

Jiang Maofa shook his head quickly, without giving Feng Zhigang a chance to speak: "I only remember that he pleaded guilty in court. Who knows what happened?"

Seeing this old guy starting to do Tai Chi again, Feng Zhigang was so angry that his teeth started to itch.

Anyway, the lifelong responsibility system was not yet implemented at that time. As long as I killed the person who was sentenced back then, there would be no problem. Who could find out about me?

Jiang Maofa didn't know anything and couldn't remember anything, but his mind was spinning very fast.

As early as when he was notified to come to assist, he had already begun to think about how to protect himself wisely.

After signing the court trial transcript, Ren Zhen turned around and saw Hu Jitu's family surrounding Ding Jiuyan, thanking him profusely.

Ding Jiuyan, who had been calm since appearing in court, was at a loss. He helped one person up and then hurriedly helped another one.

It would be great if everyone who came into contact with public power had the same pure thoughts as Ding Jiuyan.

Ren Zhen felt a little emotional for a moment. Although the evidence in Ding Jiuyan's hands had been hidden for more than ten years, it was not just because of his cowardice. He could not be blamed for not coming forward earlier.

The mistakes in this case were not originally made by him, but now he is willing to stand up for Hu Jitu, which is already very commendable.

"Although it's not easy for him, you are even more powerful as a lawyer."

Ren Zhen turned around and found that the presiding judge had arrived beside him at some point.

From Ding Jiuyan's statement, Bao Yangjun almost surmised that if someone hadn't found him in time, he might not have appeared in today's court hearing.

It is absolutely impossible to say that Ren Zhen played no role in Ding Jiuyan's appearance in court.

Although he didn't know the details of how Ren Zhen found Ding Jiuyan, Bao Yangjun couldn't help but become interested in such a conscientious and dedicated lawyer.

"Finding Ding Jiuyan was somewhat of a stroke of luck, so I still have to thank him."

Ren Zhen shook his head with a smile, glanced at Bao Yangjun, and after pondering for a moment, asked: "Judge Bao, do you know about the case that Hu Jitu confessed to?"

"of course."

Bao Yangjun nodded. They also studied the case that allowed Hu Jitu to escape the death penalty before the trial.

It stands to reason that Hu Jitu's confession in that case was a false confession. Now that the real murderer has been arrested and the truth has been revealed, he should also be held accountable for the false confession.

But based on Hu Jitu's experience, if you think about it, if you have such a chance to save your life, anyone will give it a try.

Although it has not yet been determined, Bao Yangjun can almost predict that Hu Jitu will not be held responsible for this matter in the end.

"If you check out the real culprit, you might find something interesting."
