Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

"We have clear evidence!"

"We urge the presiding judge to revoke the victim's legal representative's status, remove them from the courtroom, and impose appropriate punishment according to the law!"

The instant those two sentences were uttered.

The entire First Courtroom was suddenly plunged into a state of astonishment.

The audience members were filled with surprise and doubt, their gazes shifting back and forth between Xu De and Yan Mi in the trial area, their faces full of suspicion.

Inside the trial area.

The three prosecutors on the prosecution bench narrowed their eyes, while Yue Feng raised an eyebrow slightly, glanced at the other two groups, and did not speak first.

As for the tight security of the defendant's dock...

Take a deep breath, tense your upper body muscles, feel your adrenaline surge, and feel your heart pound like a drum.

The other side is trying to wipe them out completely... Yes.

Yan Mi could tell that Xu De was definitely targeting him!

To be honest, if we simply want Sun Hu to pay the price...

So, the difference between two lives and three lives isn't actually that big. Based on the methods used in the case, Sun Hu can't escape the death penalty.

and so.

The opposing party could have waited 15 days after the first instance verdict in the "Mushan Case" before presenting evidence.

The two cases will not be merged at that time.

Xu Dehui will have one less opponent: a top 100 lawyer nationwide and a gold-medal lawyer from Haicheng.

There would be no false testimony from Zhu Dali to stop them, and with the evidence in hand, they could make Sun Hu and the other two pay the price.

But then again...

The other party didn't choose this route!

Instead, they chose a path that, while dealing with fake documents, also included the image of a top-notch lawyer...

That would be purely targeted.

Targeting Sun Hu and Zhu Dali is also targeting... himself!

Thinking of this, Yan Mi felt a surge of anger.

"Your Honor, in this case, the prosecution's line of reasoning is clearly flawed."

"The civil litigation agent unfairly influenced the direction of the trial. We request the court to recuse the agent and strengthen the prosecution's evidence chain."

He spoke again, his voice very loud.

Now the court seemed to have come to its senses.

On the judge's bench.

Judge Zhao De remained expressionless, his eyes devoid of any emotion; his dark pupils betrayed no hidden feelings. He simply spoke:

"The defendant."

"My question is... regarding what the prosecution stated in the indictment, does your side have any objections?"

The prosecution's indictment...

Yan Mi paused, his imposing manner vanishing.

Yes, what Zhao De said earlier was based on the indictment, that is, the other party's accusations.

It's not that Xu De can't be accused, but the process was simply wrong. The procedure hadn't progressed to that point yet, and I did it this way... I was really out of my mind.

But then a problem arises.

"Why are you asking me for supporting evidence when the process hasn't even begun?!"

Yan Mi cursed inwardly, feeling deeply frustrated.

It was as if she could see through his inner thoughts.

"Defendant, please gather your thoughts before answering!" Judge Zhao De asked sternly.

Upon hearing this...

Yan Mi could only glance reluctantly at the civil litigation agent's seat, at Xu De, who was wearing a playful smile. He suppressed his emotions and then fell into thought.

Before long, he spoke again:

"As the prosecution has stated... Your Honor, we have three questions."

After carefully composing himself, he appeared somewhat calm.

He looked up, his rational eyes piercing the air as they shot towards the three prosecutors in the dock, and his lips parted to unleash a barrage of words.

"First of all, the first point."

"The prosecution charged the defendants Sun Hu, Wang Zhou, and Zhao Ershan with 'intentional homicide' under Article 232 of the Criminal Law."

The words were spoken.

Everyone present tensed up instantly.

In the defendant's seat, the three defendants whose names were called immediately tensed up, their fists clenched, and their breathing became anxious.

They knew...

Whether they live or die, or whether they continue to live a life of luxury for the rest of their lives... all depends on how they behave afterwards!

Yan Mi ignored them, his mind racing, staring intently at the three prosecutors.

"I would like to ask, is what we have said true?"

"this......"

The three prosecutors exchanged glances, unable to discern what the other was thinking.

Finally, Prosecutor Pei nodded and said:

"It is as described in the indictment."

"it is good."

He nodded firmly, paused, and then suddenly spoke:

"According to the description in the indictment."

"On June 1, 2000, the mastermind Sun Hu assaulted and murdered the victim Huang Chengwei and disposed of his body."

"And what we would like to ask is..."

"Where is the evidence of the murder?"

Evidence of murder?

The moment those four words were uttered, not only the prosecutor and the people in the audience, but even the defendant himself was stunned.

The evidence of murder goes without saying; the information provided by the tip-off call on July 1st was clear enough.

"Prosecutor, do you have any questions to answer?"

Judge Zhao De pondered for a moment and looked at the three prosecutors in the prosecution seat.

"presiding judge."

In the prosecutor's seat.

Almost the instant the judge began his questioning, the three prosecutors immediately spoke up, creating a commotion.

"In this case, the evidence provided by the prosecution is already quite comprehensive."

"Firstly, the process of the defendant murdering the victim Huang Chengwei on June 1, 2000, was filmed by the second victim, Wang Han."

"The footage clearly shows the three men assaulting the victim, Huang Chengwei."

"The police subsequently retrieved the body from the lake, and the forensic examination revealed..."

"The bone on his forehead clearly matches the defendant's intent to commit the crime."

The prosecutors spoke slowly, their words logical and clear. In just a few sentences, they presented not an answer, but a chain of evidence.

First, there's the cause of Wang Han's death; second, there's footage of Huang Chengwei's death; and finally, there's the autopsy conducted by the forensic doctor.

The three pieces of information corroborate each other, making it a standard answer.

only......

"Excuse me, what is the concrete evidence of the murder?!"

dock.

The top-notch lawyer was meticulous, and suddenly asked a question.

He held the documents in his hand, his face grave, and said, word by word:

"presiding judge."

"Based on the prosecution's response, this case... fails to prove that the victim, Huang Chengwei, was killed by the three defendants!"

"First, there's the video from the camera."

"The video is incomplete and incomplete. According to Article 109, Paragraph 2 of the Interpretation of the Criminal Procedure Law, it is clearly stipulated that: if there are doubts about the time, place, or method of production or acquisition, and the necessary proof or reasonable explanation cannot be provided."

Convicting someone based on video or audio recordings is extremely difficult.

for example.

As most people know, even if there's a detailed account of the circumstances surrounding secretly filmed videos and recorded audio, the courts are unlikely to accept them.

Not to mention any particular scene in the video.

The footage taken by Wang Han is primarily a matter of angle; it's clearly a candid shot... Of course, when it involves a murder case, whether it was a candid shot or not is no longer important, as long as it's factual.

But that's just how it is.

The video was so corrupted that only one image could be extracted!

Even if a reasonable explanation can be given, there are still some doubts. Therefore, it falls directly into the category of illegal evidence/flawed evidence that "cannot be used as the basis for a judgment".

"presiding judge."

"The picture does indeed show the defendant making a gesture as if to hit someone."

"But I ask you, can we conclude from this that the stick in the defendant Sun Hu's hand actually fell?"

"Can we definitively say that what's in the video is a murder scene, and not just a casual argument?"

In the dock.

A stern voice reached everyone's ears as he reached into his briefcase and pulled out evidence copied from the courtroom.

It was the photograph that the camera had preserved!

"We do not have any information about the follow-up video."

"Then, can we reasonably infer that the defendant, Sun Hu, did not actually carry out the attack?"

"Or did they stop halfway through? Or did they actually strike, but the cause of death wasn't actually harm?"

There is no subsequent video.

So.

You cannot be sure whether the stick actually hit the victim, Huang Chengwei.

Even if it falls down?

"Defendant's attorney, please don't disregard the facts!"

On the prosecutor's bench.

Prosecutor Zhao Qian frowned and spoke in a deep voice.

"We have clearly stated that the police have recovered Huang Chengwei's body, and the forensic doctor from Yanzhou City has conducted an autopsy. The wound on his forehead is clearly consistent with the photographic evidence!"

A photograph alone is indeed a single piece of evidence, and that's a very solid defense.

However, an autopsy is not a single, isolated piece of evidence; the two are completely complementary.

The photo shows Sun Hu holding a stick, and the body appears to be being hit with the stick. Therefore, even without the subsequent video content, it is entirely reasonable to infer that Sun Hu dropped the stick!

only......

"What was the cause of death!?"

"Prosecutor, in the judicial system, the method of harm and the cause of death are never explicitly stated with an equal sign!"

Almost the instant the other person finished speaking.

The stern voice rose in pitch.

"The defendant may have committed the act, but the other party may not have intended to kill."

"The actual cause of the victim's death may be excessive blood loss due to being unattended after the victim left."

for example.

You wanted to teach someone a lesson, so you stabbed another person with a knife.

The person who was stabbed did not die from the injury, but he dragged his stabbed body and hurriedly ran a marathon of several dozen kilometers before finally dying.

But you only wanted to hurt him, not kill him.

So.

If the other party is dead, should you be convicted of intentional homicide?

"In this situation, there are scenes of harm and the possibility of death."

"Does this mean we can conclude that the deceased was intentionally murdered by the defendant?!"

"We believe that the prosecution's use of this as grounds to charge the defendant with 'intentional homicide,' violating Article 232 of the Criminal Law, is logically flawed!"

This angle can be described as extremely sharp and tricky.

Before the trial, Yan Mi had examined the wounds on Huang Chengwei's body and found that the wounds were not fatal.

What is meant by non-fatal injury?

As he described above, it's like stabbing someone, but the other person can run dozens of kilometers while still injured.

This injury indicates that it was not fatal.

But what about deaths and injuries?

It can directly lead to death. For example, if the knife is not used to stab the stomach, but the heart, it can stab directly in and kill the person on the spot!

Sun Hu did indeed hit Huang Chengwei on the head with a stick.

It's not about smashing their head open!

Those injuries wouldn't be immediately fatal, so it's entirely reasonable to speculate that other factors may have contributed to Huang Chengwei's death.

in this way.

The so-called "intentional homicide" under Article 232 of the Criminal Law... can be completely transformed into "intentional injury" or "accidental death"!

When the latter two crimes were pronounced, compared to intentional homicide, they were completely insignificant; at the very least, the death penalty could be avoided.

In summary.

"This is our first question!"

dock.

He spoke each word precisely and forcefully, his voice carrying into the ears of everyone present.

"Your Honor, in this case, at least, I have never seen a single piece of evidence that can directly establish that the victim was killed by the defendant!"

The words were spoken.

Inside the First Courtroom.

The crowd was initially angry, but after hearing the story, their faces gradually showed surprise, and they began to exchange ideas.

"That...it seems to be true."

"The body can only prove that he died with injuries, not that he died from the injuries. Theoretically... it is indeed impossible to prove that Huang Chengwei was killed by Sun Hu."

"Yes...no, even if it was death from excessive blood loss, there's still the element of indirect intent in the crime of intentional homicide. Watching Huang Chengwei die is no different from intentional homicide..."

"This is a bit tricky..."

The audience members were buzzing with discussion.

Suddenly, a commotion arose throughout the First Courtroom, with everyone whispering among themselves.

To be honest, most viewers are emotionally driven by the details of the case.

For example, if the defendant is a rapist who raped the victim, then the audience in the courtroom will only want the rapist to die, rather than considering whether the person is truly innocent.

But this case is different.

The audience believed the story of Mushan three times, but the rapid changes in the case proved them wrong three times.

and so.

Now, for the fourth time... they find it hard to continue believing, and instead, they are unusually starting to think for themselves.

It's not just them.

In the trial area.

Agent's seat.

"This person... from one of the top 100 law firms in the East... is this person just one lawyer from one of the top 80 law firms?"

Upon hearing the other party's angle, Wang Chao gasped, his expression immediately turning serious.

He hadn't realized the true value of the other party before, since Xu De had set up a dead end with a paternity test, leaving the other party with virtually no room to maneuver.

But now...

First, before the trial, Zhu Dali's suicide attempt almost shattered all their plans. Then, after the trial began, he opened with an angle that seemed to overturn the charges!

Furthermore, there are two more points that haven't been mentioned...

This person is somewhat terrifying.

Far surpassing all opponents encountered before!

This is just Honglang Law Firm, and there are more than eighty law firms ahead of it. Among these eighty firms, Honglang Law Firm is crushed by the near-red circle law firms, and the near-red circle law firms are crushed by the red circle law firms.

Within the red circle, Jin Jun Law Firm once again overwhelmingly surpasses everyone else.

That lawyer Wang Cheng, who is circled in red, can be considered the top lawyer at Jin Jun Law Firm...

"this......"

Wang Chao only thought about it for a moment, and suddenly his scalp tingled.

Xu De, on the other hand, showed little emotion.

"Shh~"

"The judge is about to speak, let's continue watching."

......

On the judge's bench.

After a moment's thought, Judge Zhao De frowned and spoke again:

"Please continue."

"it is good."

In the defendant's dock, Yan Mi pondered for a moment, then slowly began to speak:

"second!"

"That is to say..."

"Prosecutor, how did you conclude that Wu Tao murdered Wang Han because Sun Hu hired someone to do it?"
