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

Chapter 242 The Bewildered Crowd! [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]

Not guilty plea
Innocent!?
In an instant.

The entire scene erupted in uproar, and even the presiding judge, Zhao Jiaqi, was taken aback.

"Innocent? How can this be innocent?! This has already resulted in a death, and the body is currently lying in the morgue."

"The information provided by customs and the police is irrefutable; the smuggling route has been completely exposed, and at the very least, the crime of smuggling has been committed. Since it is a crime, one must bear criminal responsibility."

"Are you crazy? Did that lawyer win a few cases before and now he's lost his mind?!"

"Damn it, fake medicine kills people and they get away with it."

"."

A cacophony of noise came from the audience.

Zhang Tao and Li Ye also felt it was somewhat impossible, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.

It wasn't that they didn't trust Xu Liang, but rather that in this situation, only a judge who had taken bribes would issue such a ruling, and even then, it was highly likely to be overturned, leaving them with nothing.
As for whether the judge received money?
Just look at Judge Zhao Jiaqi's expression and you'll know!
"hiss"

Zhao Jiaqi frowned, secretly alarmed.

He had considered that Xu Liang might plead for a reduced sentence, but he never expected that the other party would actually plead not guilty.
"Let's hear his reasoning first," the judge beside him whispered.

Zhao Jiaqi nodded and then struck the hammer.

"quiet!"

After the order was restored, the crowd fell silent.

But his eyes were burning with desire, his breathing was a little rapid, and his gaze at Xu Liang was almost desperate.

Zhao Jiaqi took a deep breath, then looked at Xu Liang and pondered:

"Defendant, please continue."

Xu Liang nodded, and then said:

"first."

"The plaintiff's claim of smuggling counterfeit drugs is a complete exaggeration and does not reflect the true facts of the case!"

"Our clients, Wu Fang and Kong Jian, have never smuggled counterfeit drugs. The drug 'Imatinib' they purchased is a generic version!!!"

Smuggling and selling counterfeit drugs.
This is even more serious than the crime of endangering public safety, with a maximum penalty of death!

Of course, besides that, the reason for targeting it was also because...
This is the crux of the case!

The crux of the case lies in whether the smuggled drugs are generic or counterfeit, and this alone will determine the future development of the case!

as predicted.

Upon hearing this, Chai Shirong and Sha Jin, two of the plaintiffs, narrowed their eyes but did not react; they simply watched him make his point.

Xu Liang ignored it.

He stood up and took out a list of test results.

"Your Honor, this is the test report on the active ingredient of the smuggled generic 'imatinib' drug."

"The criteria for determining counterfeit drugs are: incorrect ingredients, counterfeit drugs, deteriorated drugs, and unapproved drugs."

"The drugs purchased on our behalf have an ingredient that is 70% similar to the genuine 'Imatinib' drug!"

"There was no counterfeit medicine involved, nor was the product spoiled. It can only be determined as a smuggled, unapproved generic drug, not a so-called counterfeit drug!"

Xu Liang directly refuted the claim that the medicine was fake.

What are counterfeit drugs?

for example.

There was once a man who felt he had no future in selling goods. He saw that others were making a lot of money selling poison, but he thought the crime of selling poison was too serious. Then he had a flash of inspiration and came up with a good idea.

Disguising rock sugar as drugs!

This is fake poison!!!
In other words, it's masquerading as medicine, has absolutely nothing to do with medicine, and is completely fake!

Generic drugs are like 10 grams of poison mixed into 100 grams of flour.

Will the law punish you for 10 grams of drugs?

No, it's 110 grams of poison!!!
Even if you have a lot of impurities mixed in, it still falls into the category of poison, so you will only be punished as a substandard poison!

This is the difference between generic drugs and genuine drugs.

Even if it's of the lowest quality, it still falls under the category of medicine and has absolutely nothing to do with counterfeit drugs.

Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Xu Liang's eyes.

He launched an offensive immediately!
"It should be prosecuted under Article 142-1 of the Criminal Law, namely the crime of obstructing drug administration!"

Management crime!?

Suddenly, those who understood the meaning of these words raised an eyebrow.

What's the difference between this crime and the crime of counterfeit medicine?
The crime of counterfeit drugs falls into a category with both a high upper limit and a low lower limit.

The maximum penalty is death, and the minimum penalty is exemption from criminal punishment. However, administrative crimes are almost always limited to a period of seven years, and in most cases, even three years!
In some cases, smugglers profit millions, yet the final sentence may only be a year or two.

just
"Purchase agent?"

Judge Zhao Jiaqi suddenly realized something.

He instantly grasped a key point, which was what Xu Liang had mentioned: 'the medicines being purchased on behalf of others'.

According to the indictment, the plaintiff's claim is: to sell and profit from the sale!
But how did it become a so-called "personal shopper" in the other party's mouth?

It's important to understand that these two things are different, and the laws they represent are vastly different.

"Defendant, please explain truthfully why it's called 'personal shopping agent'!"

Zhao Jiaqi frowned and asked carefully.

Xu Liang nodded; he had been prepared for this.

After briefly organizing his thoughts, he began to speak:

"Your Honorable Judge."

"The distinction between sales and purchasing agents is mainly based on subjective intent and behavioral patterns."

"According to the opposing lawyer, our client has been purchasing medicine on behalf of others since November 2004, and has done so three times in total, amounting to more than 60 boxes of medicine and more than 700 bottles of generic drugs!"

"And among them, our client..."

talking.

Xu Liang paused, then took a deep breath, emphasizing his words:
"I have never earned a single penny!"

For both sales and purchasing agents, the most direct indicators are profitability and the buyer's identity information.

The former's primary objective is profit.

The genuine medicine costs 40,000 yuan a bottle, but they buy it for 5,000 yuan, so they might sell it for 20,000 yuan a bottle.

Anyone can buy, the more the better!
Wu Fang and Kong Jian.
"According to the police investigation, our client purchased the goods at a price of three thousand per bottle."

"Then, it was sold to other people at a price of three thousand per bottle."

"And the participants are limited to relatives and friends, as well as friends who are also sick!"

"This does not constitute a crime of selling."

"At the same time, generic drugs have 70% of the efficacy of the original drugs, and the defendant's subjective intention was to use the drugs to treat the disease. Therefore, we request the presiding judge to reject the charge of 'producing, selling, and providing counterfeit drugs'!" After saying this.

Xu Liang paused for a moment, then took out some documents and handed them out one by one.

"This is the change in the body of a person who started using the drug last November."

"It's clear from this that the medication is working and can improve the body's condition!"

The documents in his hand were all physical data of the members of the mutual aid society.

Feng Nan and the others are not fools.

A bottle of medicine costing three thousand yuan is also difficult for them to afford.

If it doesn't work, why would you continue taking it?
Not to mention eating it for half a year at a time!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jiaqi immediately asked the clerk to bring the test report, and then, along with the other judges, frowned and examined it carefully.

The data on leukemia is quite simple.

With imatinib in place, the speed at which the body recovers is visible to the naked eye!

Even a fool could see from the health information of the people Xu Liang submitted that the medicine was indeed effective.

"The only factor contributing to the physical changes during this period is generic imatinib!"

"During this period, the patient did not participate in any other drug treatments; the only benefit came from the generic drugs."

Xu Liang did not speak to the presiding judge this time.

He turned to face the audience in the gallery!
After saying that,

The crowd was instantly shaken.

To be honest, the reason why public opinion in Qingshi City is so fierce right now is not only due to the deliberate manipulation by Chai Shirong and Han Chengguang.

The biggest factor was that Li Guang died from taking medicine!
Few people believe that patients with no other options should not smuggle generic drugs.

But very few people would believe that someone would exploit a group of terminally ill patients for profit, exorbitant fees to extract their remaining money, and then give them only fake medicine!
This is a fundamental difference.

If what Xu Liang said is true, Wu Fang, Kong Jian, and others were indeed selling counterfeit drugs.
Suddenly, everyone hesitated, their stance wavering, unsure which side to lean towards.

Wang Hao was anxious. He didn't want to see the facts; he just wanted to see Xu Liang besieged. But under Zhang Tao's gaze, he didn't dare to make any rash moves and could only stare at Chai Shirong with a resentful expression.

Zhao Jiaqi would naturally not act like him; his stance is very fair.

After a moment's thought, Zhao Jiaqi turned her gaze to the person being interrogated.

"Wu Fang and Kong Jian, did you two engage in any profit-making activities?"

Hear the words.

The two defendants in the dock spoke anxiously:

"No! They're all patients, they don't have the money to buy at high prices."

Kong Jian said, "The police can search our bank accounts and our home, and even look at our bank statements!"

"Neither Wu Fang, nor even Li Ye, engaged in any profit-making activities; we even paid for our own travel expenses."

No profit
How can someone continue to do personal shopping services for half a year without making a profit?!
Only the patient can determine whether a drug is counterfeit.

The fact that a patient could purchase the drug for six months, along with that data, only proves that this drug is not a fake, but a genuine generic drug!
only.
"Your Honor, we would like to submit a piece of evidence!"

In a trance.

Suddenly, Sha Jin, representing the plaintiff, spoke up, staring intently at Xu Liang.

We can't let them talk anymore.

Or
We can't let the people at the scene believe the other side!!!
How to reduce trust?
It's obviously a smear campaign!

talking.

Without waiting for Judge Zhao Jiaqi's consent, Sha Jin directly pulled out a business card.

That's right, it's a business card!
"On April 21, during our investigation, the defendant's lawyer met with me."

"During the meeting, the other party attempted to bribe us, offering 60% of their commission fee as payment!"

"When the bribery failed, he handed me his business card, saying that we could do business anytime."

As he spoke, he handed over his business card.

This business card.
It was none other than the thing that Xu Liang had barely handed over!

This is what I gave Sha Jin when I went to the detention center!
The instant he finished speaking.

Zhao Jiaqi immediately became serious and asked the clerk to bring the business card.

The crowd below the stage was stunned, their faces filled with shock.

buy?

Is this an attempt to resolve the case outside of court proceedings?
A 60% commission fee! 60% of 500,000 is 300,000!!!
It would take an ordinary person nearly thirty years of not eating or drinking to obtain it!

"What's going on?! How can there be private transactions?"

"Was everything you just said a lie? If it were true, there would be no need for a private deal."

"The case has changed again!?"

"."

Everyone was shocked and immediately began to talk, disregarding all order.

Even Zhang Tao and Li Ye were taken aback.

They felt this was wrong, that it was slander, since business cards are easy to forge.

But seeing Sha Jin's confident expression, they hesitated again.

Just as the scene was in an uproar, and everyone began to doubt the evidence submitted by Xu Liang...
"Your Honor, we also have a piece of evidence to submit."

Suddenly, Xu Liang spoke.

Do I need to submit it as well?

Everyone paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked over, but what they saw instantly stunned them.

Xu Liang was holding a card!
This is a business card!?
Before the stunned crowd could recover, Xu Liang continued:

"On April 21, during our investigation, the plaintiff's lawyer met with me."

"During the meeting, they tried to bribe us!"

"When the bribery failed, he handed me his business card, saying that we could do business anytime."

"Now, I am filing a report with the court in accordance with the law, alleging that the plaintiff's lawyer, Sha Jin, has committed serious violations of rules and regulations, and intends to..."

"Bribe us!"

Xu Liang spoke in a firm and powerful voice.

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone present froze in place, their minds blank.

Presiding Judge Zhao Jiaqi was stunned. He looked at the plaintiff, Sha Jin, who was frozen in shock, then at the defendant, Xu Liang, and finally...
Zhao Jiaqi: ?

Not
Who bribed whom?!
