Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!
Chapter 24 What does it mean that he is protecting the police?
As the voice rang out, an invisible aura seemed to emanate from Zhang Bingxin, who sat upright in the judge's dock, sweeping across the entire courtroom.
Inside the First Courtroom, everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on Zhang Bingxin in the center, listening intently.
"This case was prosecuted by the Lusen City Intermediate People's Procuratorate, which accused the defendant Wang Qiang of intentional homicide and filed a public prosecution with this court on October 10, 2002."
"In accordance with relevant regulations, the First Criminal Trial Division of the Intermediate People's Court of Lusen City conducted a public trial."
"In this case, Judge Zhang Bingxin will serve as the presiding judge, and the court clerk will be the assistant judge..."
"Court is now in session!"
The court has begun!
The moment those four words were uttered, hundreds of people felt a jolt in their hearts, their pupils contracting.
In the audience, Zhang Xia's expression tightened, and she quickly took out a pen and paper to write it down.
Not only her, but everyone else was also deeply shocked, as if their hearts were in turmoil.
"Intentional homicide? The prosecutor is actually charging him with intentional homicide!"
This is a heinous crime...
"After searching for her daughter for ten years, she accidentally killed a buyer while fighting back to save her daughter, and was subsequently charged with intentional homicide by the prosecutor's office... I wouldn't even dare to say I did that!"
『......』
hushed conversations broke out in the audience; everyone lowered their heads, clicking their tongues in astonishment.
Although the bulletin board outside had announced in advance the crimes Wang Qiang was accused of.
But when the judge said it himself, it still shocked everyone!
If these kinds of things were published in the newspapers... I can't even imagine the uproar in public opinion!
On the prosecutor's bench.
Prosecutor Hu Guang had no expression, his eyes were sharp, like a machine without emotions.
On the contrary, Chen Wei, the lawyer beside him, turned to give Li Youcai and Liu Cui behind him a reassuring look.
Immediately, he turned his gaze to Xu De, a playful look flashing in his eyes.
"Ha, once the determination of intentional homicide becomes more detailed... then this crime isn't so easy to escape!"
A single crime can often be established for multiple reasons.
The same applies to intentional homicide; it can even be divided into several types of "intentionality," and Wang Qiang could fit one of them no matter what he said!
"I'd like to see how you argue!" Chen Wei stared at Xu De across from him, a cold smile on his face.
at this time.
In the very center of the courtroom, symbolizing justice, sits the judge's bench on a high platform.
"Bang!"
The gavel fell, and all sound in the room ceased abruptly.
Judge Zhang Bingxin, with his gaze that seemed to see through people's hearts, fell on the prosecutor's seat, and he slowly opened his mouth.
"Now, the prosecution will read the indictment."
Upon hearing this...
In the dock.
Wang Qiang, whose hands were handcuffed with iron chains, gripped the chair surrounded by fences.
Prosecutor Hu Guang also took a deep breath.
He slowly stood up, a document in his hand, and then spoke:
"Your Honorable Presiding Judge and Judges."
"The defendant, Wang Qiang, aged 52, born on April 17, 1950, was arrested on October 2, 2002, on suspicion of intentional homicide."
"Upon review by this court, it was found that the defendant Wang Qiang's daughter was illegally controlled, imprisoned, and raped by the victim. As a result, the defendant became emotionally agitated and initiated a conflict with the victim."
"Subsequently, the defendant Wang Qiang initiated violent acts against the victim Li Erniu, and then used a weapon, causing the victim's immediate death!"
Speaking of which...
Hu Guang paused abruptly, then frowned and spoke in a serious tone.
He raised his head slightly, his eyes looking across the distance and fixed on the slender figure of Wang Qiang.
The next moment, his resounding voice rang out!
"His actions have violated Article 232 of the Criminal Code of Dongguk, constituting the crime of intentional homicide. The facts of the crime are clear, and the evidence is conclusive and sufficient!"
"This court has filed a public prosecution in accordance with the law, and requests the court to sentence the defendant according to the law!"
His words were logically sound and complete.
Each word felt like a massive boulder pressing down on Wang Qiang's chest, making it hard for him to breathe. He gripped his handcuffed hands tighter and tighter.
In the dock.
Zhang Bingxin nodded.
The human trafficking case is inextricably linked to the murder case, but this cannot completely exonerate Wang Qiang during the trial; at most, it can only reduce his sentence slightly.
"Please have the 'victim's legal representative' provide their legal opinion on this case."
Presiding Judge Zhang Bingxin fixed his serious gaze on lawyer Chen Wei on one side of the prosecution bench.
Upon hearing the sound, hundreds of people turned to look in that direction.
Chen Wei took a deep breath.
He stood up, scanned the vast First Courtroom, then glanced at Xu De, a sinister smile spreading across his face.
next moment.
"Your Honorable Presiding Judge, Judges, and Jury Members."
"I am Chen Wei, the lawyer representing the victim in the civil incidental litigation. Based on today's court proceedings, I would like to offer the following opinions regarding the civil compensation portion of this case."
"The defendant Wang Qiang's intentional homicide was the direct and sole cause of the victim's death, and he should bear full civil liability for compensation according to law!"
Chen Wei suddenly changed the subject, his voice loud and clear, ringing in everyone's ears.
"Your Honor, this is all the information about our victim's family background."
talking.
He held up the documents one by one and handed them to the clerk beside him.
"According to the provisions of the Dongguk People's Civil Code, the defendant should pay death compensation of 49700 yuan!"
"They should also pay alimony." "The victim's parents, father Li Youcai, 61 years old, mother Liu Cui, 61 years old, are from rural areas, have no pension, no source of income, and no ability to work."
The victim had no siblings.
"According to the law, he should be compensated with 64600 yuan in alimony!"
"In addition to covering the victim's funeral expenses of 4043 yuan, and transportation, accommodation, and medical expenses totaling 1762 yuan..."
"At the same time, the elderly person has no other children, and is suffering immense mental anguish in their later years due to lack of support. We request an additional compensation of '100000 yuan,' totaling..."
Speaking of which...
Chen Wei paused abruptly, and the next second, he uttered a number that shocked everyone present.
"218343 yuan!"
Nearly 220,000!?
Two hundred and twenty thousand in compensation for the death of one person? Is that a lot? It doesn't sound like much.
But this is 2002!
These days, rural migrant workers earn less than 800 yuan a month, and even 800 yuan is what highly skilled workers can earn!
How long would it take for a migrant worker like you to save up 220,000 yuan without eating or drinking?
272 months.
A full 22 years, almost 23 years!!!
"Two hundred and twenty thousand?! Are the family members crazy? Even a normal person wouldn't be compensated that much for a death. How can a human trafficker dare to ask for two hundred and twenty thousand after someone has died?!"
In the audience.
At this moment, even reporters who were used to big scenes couldn't help but show their astonishment.
The audience, which had been quiet due to the court proceedings and the judges' conduct, couldn't help but stir and whisper among themselves, even with the national emblem hanging high above their heads.
"Two hundred and twenty thousand? Why doesn't he just rob someone?!"
"Shameless...shameless! Utterly shameless, robber!"
"How dare they speak up?!"
"This blatant litigator! That extra compensation was definitely demanded by him on behalf of Li Youcai and Liu Cui. Bastard, beast..."
"..."
Reporter Zhang Xia stopped writing and couldn't help but look up, staring at the nonchalant Chen Wei with a displeased expression.
Don't think about it.
The other party must have had a bad communication with the defendant's lawyer, so they deliberately demanded 22 yuan in compensation in court just to vent their anger!
but......
This money will be borne by Wang Qiang and Xu Hong!
Zhang Xia gritted her teeth. She glanced at Wang Qiang, who was sitting in the chair. He was 1.6 meters tall and so thin that even his prison uniform couldn't fill him out. Her emotions were churning.
"Son of a bitch!"
She couldn't help but mutter a curse under her breath.
Compared to the riots in the audience.
The courtroom order remained intact, though it did cause a slight change in the expressions of the individuals involved.
Sitting in the chairs, Li Youcai and Liu Cui breathed heavily upon hearing the amount, their eyes gleaming with greed and eager anticipation.
Prosecutor Hu Guang frowned slightly, glanced at Chen Wei, but said nothing.
Presiding Judge Zhang Bingxin frowned deeply, and after a moment, spoke:
Did the victim's parents come to the scene?
The sound faded.
Li Youcai and Liu Cui, standing to the side, brightened up, but their excitement vanished instantly, and they exclaimed, "We're here! We're here!"
It seemed as if she realized that her emotions were not right.
After they finished speaking, their expressions immediately changed. Liu Cui lowered her head, choking back tears, and even sobbed occasionally.
See here.
Zhang Bingxin remained unmoved. After pondering for a while, he asked:
"Plaintiff, are the statements made by the victim's legal representative consistent with the facts?"
Li Youcai choked up, sitting in his chair wiping away his tears as he said:
"Same here, what Attorney Chen said is true."
"I'm almost forty when I finally have this one son. I raised him with great difficulty by farming, and now that he's married and has children, he's expected to take care of us in our old age..."
"But of all times, this kind of thing happened!"
talking.
Liu Cui suddenly spoke up from one side:
"We raised that ungrateful wretch for ten years, and this is how she repays us...and this is ten years!"
"They ate our food and drank our water, spent so much money on us over the past ten years, and not only did they not repay our kindness, they even conspired with others to kill my son... There's no justice, no justice! You have to do us justice!"
After saying that, she choked up and cried, tears streaming down her face.
Her wailing echoed throughout the courtroom.
But the people present gradually felt a tightness in their chests, and after a long while, their brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
A moment later, he felt a wave of weakness and sighed.
If the person killed was a real human trafficker, there would be room for maneuver, and Li Youcai and Liu Cui's wailing wouldn't help.
However, the other party is ultimately not a "human trafficker" and will not be defined as such in court!
Legally, this is a misdemeanor!
Although it is hard to believe, the victim, Li Erniu, had only committed a minor crime, while Wang Qiang had murdered someone who had committed a minor crime.
Therefore, since the victim was killed for a minor offense, his family can naturally demand compensation, and even substantial compensation!
Can......
"Two hundred and twenty thousand...!"
Someone muttered something, and soon the courtroom fell silent, with only a few sobs.
After a while.
"call."
Presiding Judge Zhang Bingxin took a deep breath, his brows furrowed, and finally focused his gaze on the defendant, that is...
dock!
In the large row of defendants' docks, a young man dressed in a neat suit sat there, his back ramrod straight.
"The defendant, facing the aforementioned prosecutor, the victim's legal representative, and the plaintiff..."
Zhang Bingxin sat on the high platform, looked at Xu De, and said:
Do you have any objections?
The moment those six words fell.
The previously noisy courtroom fell silent as hundreds of people turned their heads and focused their attention on Xu De, the only defendant in the dock.
Quiet.
It was very quiet.
Xu De slowly stood up, glanced around, and showed no extreme expression.
"Your Honor, Judge and Jurors, the opposing side stated the above..."
"The prosecution's claims are unfounded and lack any supporting evidence! Their statements are inconsistent with the facts of the case! The court should not accept them! They are unreliable!"
"The victim's legal representative made exaggerated and subjective assumptions, which are completely contrary to objective facts!"
"The statements made by both sides lack supporting evidence, are purely subjective conjectures, and do not conform to the facts; therefore, they should not be adopted!"
"But the truth is..."
As he spoke, Xu De paused slightly.
Immediately afterwards, a series of sounds suddenly rang out.
"Our defendant, Wang Qiang, never intentionally committed murder from beginning to end."
"The so-called murder was merely an act of bravery, a desperate measure taken to protect seven police officers from harm due to the situation at the scene!"
judgment seat:?
Hearing Seat:?
In the prosecutor's seat, Hu Guang, who had been deep in thought, suddenly paused. He looked up and stared blankly at Xu De in the defendant's seat.
What...what is that?
