Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!
Chapter 47 The Final Struggle
In the dock, Xu De looked directly at the judge on the bench.
He is dismissing the charges....
He must dismiss the charges!
Why?
After all, theoretically speaking, you only need to provide an "explanation" of the other party's accusations. Why do you have to fight to the death with the prosecutor and make the other party's accusations completely invalid?
Because of this behavior, only a reduced sentence is possible!
As for the prosecutor's office, once a public prosecution is initiated, it is entirely possible to accept a reduced sentence for the defendant if the circumstances are exceptional. They are even happy to see the other party treated leniently, even if it is excessive self-defense and the defendant is exempt from punishment.
But...this does not include innocence!
Both the prosecutor's office and the courts find it very difficult to accept the word "not guilty"!
Therefore, "legitimate self-defense" has almost become a "dormant clause" in the law, and a court may not see one for a whole year!
However, Xu De was pleading not guilty...
The two sides are like two repulsive magnets, incompatible and irreconcilable, with no room for bargaining or even the possibility of coexistence. Every statement they make is an attack on the other side's bottom line!
"Your Honor, the evidence is more than sufficient."
In the defendant's dock, Xu De stood up, his back straight. He looked around and began to speak:
"The prosecution has filed two charges: 'intentional injury' and 'excessive self-defense'."
"This argument is untenable based on objective evidence, subjective testimony, and practical experience..."
"The actions of the defendant, Wang Qiang, fully constitute 'legitimate self-defense'!"
The words fell.
The air in the previously viscous and stagnant scene began to flow again.
Everyone's eyes flickered, and their breathing became increasingly anxious, as if fire was baking the oxygen.
The witness just said... "Wang Qiang appeared to have been struck with a stick."
Looking at this single piece of information—"suspected"—and even the location of the attack, which even witnesses dared not confirm, it doesn't have a significant impact on the prosecution.
But if we consider everything Xu De has said since the trial began, then...
That's a very big deal!
On the judge's bench.
Judge Zhang Bingxin's eyes twitched, his lips moved for a moment, and then he raised his gavel.
"Bang!"
"Silence! Silence!"
Zhang Bingxin took a deep breath and said two words in a row: "maintain order."
Immediately, he frowned, looked at Xu De, and said in a deep voice:
"The defendant should not disrupt the court proceedings."
After saying that, he looked at the prosecution.
"Prosecutor, do you have any questions for the witnesses?"
The prosecutor's stand.
Wang Wei felt exhausted, as if the air was stuffy and he couldn't breathe; even raising his hand slightly made him gasp for air.
Despite his exhaustion, he was about to shake his head, but after thinking for a moment, he spoke instead:
"witness."
"During the crime scene, did the defendant engage in any aggressive behavior?"
Such as verbal abuse, physical harassment, and emotional outbursts.
Upon hearing this, Li Li...
A look of suspicion crossed her face. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head decisively and said, "I don't remember."
It's hard to remember things that happened a month and a half ago, especially with a corpse vying for attention.
Wang Wei added:
"At what point during the incident did the police fire the warning shots?"
Li Li said: "When fighting."
Police have strict standards for firing warning shots, and every bullet must be clearly explained. They generally will not fire unless there is a riot.
But the words came back again.
Since the shooting was intended to stabilize the riots, it essentially confirmed that the situation was under control after the shooting was conducted.
"So, the defendant only walked into the police car after the police had brought the scene under control and the riot had stopped, following the firing of shots?"
Wang Wei changed his approach and asked the question from a different angle.
Upon hearing this, Li Li pondered for a moment and then said:
"I don't remember."
Wang Wei remained silent for a long time before looking at the presiding judge and speaking:
"Judge, I have no more questions."
The words were spoken.
He plopped back into his chair and stopped talking.
As he and Hu Guang had said before.
The cases are interconnected, and the subjective intent behind the actions can be inferred from the previous actions.
Li Li said she "didn't remember" when asked about this issue.
But don't forget, in the previous question, she said, "The defendant, Wang Qiang, was apparently unable to break free because he was shot."
Based on this, if the answer to the second question is "I don't remember," the judge will tend to favor the "yes" option.
That is to say...
The defendant, Wang Qiang, voluntarily surrendered himself to the police after the situation had spiraled out of control.
In other words, they are currently being refuted by their own logical arguments...
The opponent seemed to have used Tai Chi, deflecting a heavy blow with minimal effort; their attacks were like hitting cotton.
I feel powerless...so powerless!
"it is good."
The judge's bench.
Zhang Bingxin nodded, about to continue pushing forward the case proceedings.
Unexpectedly, at this very moment...
"etc."
"Your Honor, the plaintiff has something to say!"
A sudden, urgent voice broke the rhythm of the trial.
Everyone turned to look, and hundreds of eyes fell on Chen Wei, who was standing on the side of the prosecutor's seat, symbolizing the "victim's legal representative".
Chen Wei was getting a little anxious.
No... he's in a real hurry!
He wasn't the prosecutor, but his own interests were tied to the prosecution. That's why, during the first trial, he clashed with Xu De on criminal issues, which led to him being set up by Xu De.
Now, during the second court hearing... Chen Wei has learned his lesson and is not prepared to speak rashly, so he is being very cautious.
They've been so cautious that they haven't said a word since the trial began.
But... why does he have a feeling that if he continues to be cautious... he might lose the case?
What does it mean when all the existing evidence is forcibly paved by the defense lawyer into a path to innocence?
If the defendant is found not guilty... then his civil prosecution will be a complete failure, and combined with public opinion surrounding the case, his career will truly plummet!
At this moment, Chen Wei's face was full of anxiety. He was almost impatient and said urgently:
"We have questions for the witnesses!"
He added another sentence.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Bingxin nodded.
"Plaintiff, please ask your question."
The words were spoken.
Chen Wei took a deep breath, ignoring the pressure from the stares of the crowd, and turned his gaze to Li Li in the witness stand. After a moment's thought, he asked in a low voice:
"witness....."
"Was anyone still carrying a weapon at the scene after the shooting?"
Possessing weapons means that the threat is only paused, not eliminated, and if it hasn't disappeared, it means that the situation is not under control.
But if that's gone... at least it can eliminate one person who surrenders!
If he doesn't show any willingness to turn himself in, he can still fight for his life and at least get a lighter sentence.
"Yes, I remember that very clearly!"
Li Li nodded.
Chen Wei's expression was somewhat grim; unwilling to give up, he asked a tricky question, "Do you remember who exactly was involved?"
Specific person?
Theoretically, it's hard to know, because everyone at the scene is drawn to the police firing shots and the dead body, so there's no reason to pay attention to whether someone else was carrying a weapon.
This is a trap problem.
Unfortunately.
The other party understands this issue much more clearly!
Li Li pointed to herself with a generous gesture.
"I was holding a hoe at the time, but I didn't hit the policeman or Wang Qiang."
Chen Wei: ......
Suddenly, Chen Wei felt as if a mouthful of blood was rushing to his head, making him feel as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat, unable to speak.
The other party is a non-responsible group at the scene. Even if they do such a thing, they will not be held accountable and can even be brought to court for trial.
only......
"Your Honor, what I have to say is..."
"Witness Li Li gave a completely different testimony to the prosecution and the plaintiff before the trial. However, she changed her story and denied her previous testimony during the trial. Her statements were inconsistent and capricious!"
"We believe that the witness's testimony..."
Chen Wei took a deep breath, looked up at the judge's bench, and stopped questioning the witnesses, instead...
Choose to overthrow him!
"Unbelievable!"
Not far away.
In the dock.
Sitting at the front of the stage, Xu De watched Chen Wei's impassioned speech for a moment, then suddenly grinned.
He was too busy dealing with the two prosecutors.
I almost forgot...
We still need to teach that bastard a lesson!
