Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!

Chapter 220 Was the First Trial rigged?! [Requesting Monthly Tickets!!!]

no problem.
No problem at all, the explanation is very clear!

The injury on Qi Yu's forehead, after targeted identification by the judicial authorities, was indeed consistent with the corrosive acid solution that the kimchi factory had mistakenly purchased!
Other skeletal wounds
It's based on firsthand accounts from workers!

"'When I was moving him, I noticed he had a problem with his back, and I wanted to press it back down so he might be able to stand up again, so...'"

Liang Shan murmured the testimony of a mentally disabled worker who had moved corpses.

“Testimony, testimony, and objective evidence all exist.”

"The doubts in the first instance were explained very clearly. Moreover, judging from this information, the plaintiff did not present any evidence in the first instance, but instead used evidence with these loopholes to launch a surprise attack. It is understandable that the evidence was not accepted."

"really."

The three judges on the bench were talking to each other.

They initially thought the defendant was problematic, especially since Zhao Hailong's practicing certificate was revoked the night before the trial.

Whether it's being targeted or Zhao Hailong genuinely has a history of questionable conduct, it suggests the defendant is highly suspicious!
Can.
After Cheng Jia presented a series of evidence, her credibility actually improved significantly!

See this.

"Whoo~"

Cheng Jia breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the expressions on the faces of the three judges in the dock, she knew that her words had had an effect.

If nothing unexpected happens
The case will end with the first-instance verdict being upheld!
Thinking of this, Cheng Jia felt a surge of joy and couldn't help but get excited.

As long as the first instance judgment is upheld, no, even if the second instance judgment awards them over a million yuan, it would still be considered a victory for Cheng Jia!
The trial is currently progressing towards a favorable outcome, however...
In a daze, Cheng Jia glanced at the plaintiff, but only for a moment before she froze.

Only the plaintiff was present.
Xu Liang showed no change in expression, as did Su Yu and Yang Ruoxi, as if what Cheng Jia had just said posed no threat to them whatsoever!
"No, that's not right."

Cheng Jia's heart suddenly sank. Looking at Xu Liang's ambiguous smile, a sense of panic suddenly gripped her.

Can.
The tricky evidence presented by the opposing party in the first instance consisted of the aforementioned points, while the information provided by Cheng Jia was sufficient to resolve all of them!

Why is the other party still so calm?!

"Perhaps he's putting on a brave face, or maybe he just wants more money." Cheng Jia felt nervous.

Xu Liang didn't say a word, or even make a gesture.

The entire courtroom fell silent instantly.

The quiet person felt uneasy, and Zhang Tao and Li Ye in the audience shifted their gaze back and forth between the two.

"Gulu~"

Li Ye swallowed hard and whispered:
"Tao-ge, what's going on?"

Zhang Tao was also a little confused.

He's been in the industry for over a year and his level of understanding is sufficient to comprehend what Cheng Jia is saying.

The information submitted by the other party is at most a major management error!

However, the overall quality of people these days is not high, and their cultural level varies greatly, so similar management loopholes are everywhere.

Therefore, at present, Cheng Jia has a huge advantage!

but.
Zhang Tao took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.

The case might still change, after all, Xu Liang can't just sit around doing nothing for half a month and rely on his performance in the first trial.
"hold on."

Zhang Tao said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Li Ye shut his mouth and continued watching.

About ten minutes passed.

"Plaintiff, do you have any evidence to refute the defendant's claims?"

In the dock.

After the discussion, Liang Shan turned his attention back to the plaintiff.

"Of course I want it."

Xu Liang smiled and spoke, his face showing no sign of being pushed to the limit.

It was as if what Cheng Jia pulled out of her hand posed no threat to him at all; he didn't care at all!

He parted his lips slightly, and the next second, a series of voices appeared in his ears.

"First, I would like to ask the opposing side a question."

"That's why this information didn't appear in court during the first trial!"

Xu Liang suddenly narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp, as if a knife was constantly scraping against Cheng Jia.

The other party didn't initially provide such detailed information.

It's more like filling in the blanks one by one in response to the questions Xu Liang posed!

Cheng Jia took a deep breath and smiled:

"Because the case structure was too simple, no further details were provided."

Xu Liang then said:

"Then why, during the first instance trial, did the judge not grant the plaintiff the rights they deserved, and instead deemed the evidence unacceptable before it had even been examined?"

After a moment's thought, Cheng Jia offered a reasonable explanation.

"Plaintiff, during the first instance proceedings, all your statements were based on subjective suspicion and lacked substantive evidence. Furthermore, you launched an evidence surprise attack. Therefore, the judge does not accept your evidence in accordance with the law!"

That's a reasonable and objective explanation.

This was also the judgment of Liang Shan and others on the trial bench.

"Oh I got it."

Xu Liang smiled, then suddenly changed the subject and said:

"Then I'd like to ask, what caused Attorney Zhao Hailong's license to be revoked?"

Revocation of practice certificate
Cheng Jia's expression suddenly stiffened, and she was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, Xu Liang had no intention of letting her answer at all!
"Your Honor, before I address the opposing side's arguments, I must first reveal the truth behind the revocation of the lawyer's license for the defendant, Zhao Hailong!"

Xu Liang turned his head to look at the judge's bench.

Judges have a certain degree of discretion in sentencing!
This sentencing power often makes things difficult for lawyers with a reputation for being litigious, because sentencing power is a matter of subjective attitude. If you don't have a good reputation, the judge is very likely to target your case because of this!

What Xu Liang needs to do right now is to tarnish the other party's reputation.

I only heard him slowly say:
According to information from the Ministry of Justice, Zhao Hailong, a lawyer, privately charged his client extra fees after a legal aid case fifteen years ago.

"Fourteen years ago, the other party colluded with a lawyer to set up a financial case, causing the outcome to be controlled by the two of them!"

"Twelve years ago, he even bribed and bought off the opposing lawyer to help him win the case!"

"."

Tell me one thing at a time.

The people in the courtroom gradually developed strange expressions.

Even Liang Shan, sitting on the judge's bench, couldn't help but frown at this moment.

A shrew! A blatant shrew. Most of the tricks Zhao Hailong uses infringe on others' legitimate rights to protect their own interests, treating the court as a tool for making money!

From this perspective, if the information is true...
Zhao Hailong deserved to have his license revoked, but it wasn't just a simple revocation of his license!
The other party will be completely stripped of their lawyer status, will not be allowed to retake the exam to get their license back, and will never be able to practice law again!

only.
Cheng Jia's heart tightened suddenly. She hurriedly interrupted Xu Liang, speaking in a deep, angry voice:

"This is irrelevant to this court hearing!"

"You are trying to confuse the public and slander us!"

hear the words
Liang Shan, who was about to continue listening, suddenly changed his expression, his face fell, and he stared intently at Cheng Jia, uttering a single sentence.

"Defendant, it's not your turn to speak yet!"

"You have disrupted court proceedings without authorization. This is a warning to you. If you violate this rule again, the judge has the right to remove you from the courtroom!"

caveat?

This is already a warning!
Cheng Jia's face showed horror, and her eyes revealed a hint of astonishment.

She then remembered that the case was no longer being heard in the Jianghe Court.
Cheng Jia's face showed resentment, but she still kept her mouth shut and said nothing more.

Even if Zhao Hailong is gone, she can still file a lawsuit to get a recess, but if Liangshan expels her...
There's really no way to salvage that situation!
"Humph."

Liang Shan withdrew his gaze, snorted coldly, and then looked at Xu Liang.

"Plaintiff, please continue."

Xu Liang smiled, pretending the judge didn't exist, and just looked at Cheng Jia meaningfully.

"You just said that the revocation of Zhao Hailong's practicing certificate is unrelated to the case?"

Is it irrelevant?
From this perspective alone, it is indeed irrelevant, since the other party has no connection with Qi Yu and did not attend the second trial.

But the problem is.
"It's a very important relationship!"

Xu Liang suddenly composed himself and became serious.

He turned to look at Liang Shan in the judge's dock and blurted out the words at top speed.

"Your Honorable Judge!"

"In this second instance, our request is to overturn the verdict delivered by Judge Liu Shengnan in the first instance!"

The verdict of Judge Liu Shengnan was overturned?

It's not about the evidence, it's about the specific person!?

Liang Shan was somewhat taken aback, but before he could react...

Xu Liang then continued:

"According to our investigation, there was a serious collusion between Liu Shengnan, the judge in charge of the first instance, Zhao Hailong, and Zhang An, the director of Jianghe Pickled Vegetable Factory!"

"Liu Shengnan's son is named Zhang Hui. He entered Lanshan Provincial Key School with mediocre grades!"

"According to the in-depth investigation, it was eventually discovered that the person behind it was Zhang An from the kimchi factory. He spent more than 100,000 yuan to bribe officials and eventually sent a poor student to a key provincial university!"

"Furthermore, Zhang An also hired a renowned pianist for Zhang Hui to cultivate his daily interests!"

"According to Liu Shengnan's usual statements, the pianist only charges a symbolic few hundred yuan, mainly because of Zhang Hui's talent, but that's not actually the case."

talking.

Xu Liang pulled out a series of pieces of evidence.

Looking around, all the clues are about Liu Shengnan's contact with Zhang An, the owner of the kimchi factory!
There was no direct monetary transaction.

But there exists something called 'human relationships'!

What is human sentiment?
Favors are bribes!

Even more so.
"On March 18, Zhao Hailong illegally reported our law firm in an attempt to cause us to lose our right to a first instance trial!"

"Afterwards, the evidence from this report was transferred to Liu Shengnan, who then notified the Bureau of Justice. Ultimately, on the 19th, Shangcheng District ordered our law firm to suspend operations for one month!"

"And the person in charge of this matter at the Justice Bureau."

"It's Liu Shengnan's husband, Zhang Hong!!!"

talking.

Xu Liang dropped a shocking and astonishing message in front of everyone.

"In the case of Jiang Cheng's accidental fall to his death, the presiding judge in the first instance, Liu Shengnan, is suspected of serious collusion with the defendants Zhao Hailong and Zhang An!"

"According to laws and regulations, it should be..."

"The first-instance judgment is rejected, and the personnel responsible for the case will be held accountable!"

As soon as these words came out.

The courtroom fell silent for a moment. Liang Shan hadn't even processed what was happening when the words rang in his ears.

If we consider the other party's meaning, then that's correct.
Was there any foul play involved in the first trial?
Liu Shengnan benefited!
Suddenly.

Liang Shan perked up and his face became serious.

This is no small thing!
Once confirmed, the number of people affected will be far more than just Liu Shengnan!
Cheng Jia's pupils suddenly contracted. She felt as if she had been stabbed hard in the back, and she almost jumped up, staring at the other person with a look of astonishment and horror.

Liu Shengnan has been discovered!?
What will happen if we discover this?
It's unlikely to be anything serious, since Liu Shengnan was unaware of their business dealings.
"Wait, the demands!"

In a trance.

Cheng Jia seemed to realize something, her heart suddenly stopped, and she looked up at the other person in disbelief, her heart beating faster and faster, like a drumbeat.

"Demands!"

If Xu Liang's response to the first instance verdict was a rejection of the original judgment...

Therefore, the second instance trial will certainly not be limited to the so-called issue of whether the amount of compensation is large or small.

When the first trial was overturned, what remained for the two of them was...
It can only be a blank sheet of paper that the two of them can write on at will!

"broken!"

Cheng Jia's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

On the eve of the trial, Zhao Hailong and she acted in response to clues raised by Xu Liang during the first trial.

That is, to continue the proceedings from the first instance, focusing on the points of contention.

But if the first trial is overturned and the second trial is restarted, the points of contention will disappear, and the evidence on our side will be completely insufficient to cope!

More importantly, it depends on the other party's demands.

Does rejecting the first instance judgment count as a claim?
Calculate.

What happens after the first instance trial is rejected?

After the first instance trial was rejected, Cheng Jia had no idea what the other party's demands were!
God knows what they're up to.
Her heart tightened, and she stared intently at Xu Liang, racking her brains but still unable to figure out when Liu Shengnan had been discovered.

And the judge's bench
The three judges' expressions changed simultaneously, and without saying a word, they immediately ordered the court clerk to place the evidence in front of them.

After watching it in a short time
Liang Shan's pupils constricted instantly!
