Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Chapter 71: The Defense's Six-Dimensional Diagram Strategy! [2/7]

"We request the court to sentence the defendant according to the law!"

After Huang Shi finished speaking, he sat down without saying much, only staring at the defendant's seat with his eyes.

The indictment details the division of responsibilities among the three defendants, as well as the roles of principal offenders and accomplices, and does not only address events that occurred on the 17th.

The three defendants, Liu Jingqi, Liu Jingqi, and Liu Jingqi, have been bullying and oppressing people at No. 18 Middle School for quite some time.

The charges of robbery, intentional injury, etc., are based on the evidence uncovered during the investigation.

As for whether these things are true...

All I saw was...

In the defendant's seat, Qiao Wang and Jiang Yu, the two girls, were breathing slightly rapidly, their hands clenched tightly, clearly feeling guilty and somewhat nervous.

Liu Jingqi, the main culprit, was not afraid at all; instead, she rolled her eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Jingqi continued fiddling with her fingers, completely ignoring the accusation she had just made.

Seeing this scene.

Not to mention Huangshi, even on the trial bench, the three judges frowned slightly.

"Defendant, this is a courtroom!"

Judge Lu Guowei was somewhat annoyed and issued a direct warning.

Please correct your attitude!

Upon hearing this, Liu Jingqi pretended to straighten up, but her attitude remained completely disrespectful.

Zhang Bingxin had no interest in delving into this matter; he pondered for a moment.

He turned to look at Huangshi and continued to ask questions.

"Prosecutor, do you have anything else to say?"

Huang Shi shook his head and said, "I have finished presenting my complaint."

The words were spoken.

Zhang Bingxin nodded, then looked at Xu De, who had a calm expression and remained silent, and fell into thought for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, his gaze swept past Xu De and went straight to the defendant's dock.

"The defendant."

"Does your side wish to raise any objections to the aforementioned charges brought by the prosecution?"

Do you have any objections?

I have 100% objections!

"First."

"We have a significant disagreement with the prosecution regarding whether the defendant committed a crime!"

Lawyer Zhang Wei took a deep breath, stood up, and began to proceed with the trial according to the original plan.

After a moment's thought, he said, "Your Honor, according to the prosecution, the defendant has committed numerous acts of intentional injury and bullying over the past three years."

"But...we have not seen sufficient evidence to support these allegations during the police investigation."

Zhang Wei shook his head, his tone very firm, speaking at a moderate pace, yet conveying his meaning perfectly.

The defendant...

They do not admit to the charges brought by the prosecutor!

The prosecutor's stand.

Xu De and the other two remained calm and composed, showing no signs of extreme emotion.

On the prosecutor's stand, although it was expected, Huang Shi still looked grim, and even Zhang Qing and Wang Mang frowned.

"We have not seen any police search or discovery that provides direct evidence of the defendant's illegal or criminal activities!"

"same..

'

Zhang Wei then turned to look at Judge Zhang Bingxin and continued speaking.

"Neither the prosecution nor the plaintiff submitted any relevant clues to the court during the period for presenting evidence."

"In summary."

"The prosecution's charges against our defendants, Liu Jingqi and Jiang Yu,"

Regarding the charges of "intentional injury," "robbery," and "insult" against Qiao Wang and the other two, we object.

The words were spoken.

The three judges on the bench were deep in thought.

He immediately turned to look at the prosecutor.

"Prosecutor, do you have anything to say?"

"have!"

Huang Shi was already impatient, and when the judge gestured for him to speak, he immediately began to speak.

"Your Honor, judges, we deny the defendant's claims in the appeal!"

"The Criminal Investigation Division of Lusen City submitted a piece of evidence to the prosecutor's office and the court."

"This evidence fully proves that the defendant has repeatedly engaged in long-term, illegal acts of bullying and violence against classmates!"

"That is: at the crime scene, there were no people living together with the defendant Liu Jingqi, and the testimony made by the defendant Liu Jingqi was the only one that was relevant."

After the incident and the arrest of Liu Jingqi.

To prevent collusion, the police immediately conducted interviews with the school's teachers and students.

Ordinary testimony may not be very damaging.

but...

"This testimony...no, this is a logically sound and mutually corroborating chain of evidence!"

Huang Shi stood up, holding a document in his hand.

The document clearly contained the evidence he had mentioned.

"There were a total of 8 people interviewed, including students and teachers, who had never met before giving their testimonies."

"However, the testimonies given to the defendants are remarkably similar, and whether it's the timeline, the objective evidence, or the contact with school surveillance footage, they all corroborate the facts!"

for example.

Person A said that Liu Jingqi broke his head.

On its own, this testimony is not very effective. However, if he also produces the wound cleaning record from the clinic that day, and the surveillance footage showing Liu Jingqi going to the place mentioned by person A during the time she was bullied.

Therefore, this is a highly credible chain of evidence.

And similar...

"There were eight people in total!"

Huang Shi spoke sternly, his eyes fixed on Liu Jingqi.

Even though she was only 16 years old and he couldn't take her life, he wanted to make her pay the highest price within his power!

Thinking of this, Huang Shi raised his voice by two octaves.

"Furthermore, the testimonies of these eight individuals corroborate each other; the police have verified this, and there are a total of 27 pieces of corroborating evidence!"

"Please, Your Honor, consider this carefully."

The words were spoken.

Huang Shi sat back in his original position.

The three judges on the bench began to carefully read the evidence, occasionally whispering to each other.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

In the defendant's seat, Liu Jingqi's gaze toward Huang Shi gradually turned hostile, her brows furrowing.

Of course, what angered her even more was that... there were actually eight people who dared to identify her!

Liu Jingqi began to ponder who these eight people were, and even started thinking about what kind of revenge she would take against them after she got out.

a long time.

Zhang Bingxin let out a sigh of relief; he had finished reading.

It was like watching a fully sealed surveillance video, with each person's words corroborating the others, and the answers to each person's words could be found in the testimonies of a second or even a third person.

in this way..

The indictment could easily include charges against the defendant for bullying that occurred before the incident!

but.

"Defendant, do you have any rebuttal?" Zhang Bingxin looked at the defendant's seat.

"Your Honor, this is just testimony!"

Zhang Wei immediately began speaking, his fluency as if it had been planned in advance.

He stood up, pointed to the identical evidence in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "And it's a testimony without any substantial evidence!"

"Furthermore, the prosecution argued that the more people who make the identifications, the more effective the corroborating evidence in their verbal logic, but the facts are quite the opposite."

"From our perspective, this is clearly..."

""

"Exhaustive search!"

There is a very interesting idea in the theory of exhaustive search.

That is, if you put a monkey on a typewriter and let it press the keys randomly, and give it an infinite amount of time, mathematically it will almost certainly be able to type out any text.

Even masterpieces like the complete works of Shakespeare or Hamlet.

But the truth is, can a monkey really knock this thing out?

"presiding judge."

"When there are more than three people involved, even a single lie can be corroborated by the testimonies of the other individuals!"

Zhang Wei's words were sharp, and his counterattacks were irrefutable.

"We are now in the second courtroom."

"There are at least thirty reporters outside, and these reporters should be speculating about the trial at this time."

"Among them, there is a very high probability that a guess similar to the current situation will emerge!!!"

That is the flaw in this evidence.

for example.

If you ask a billion people to tell a lie, then dozens or even hundreds of them will inevitably tell the same lie, and they might even have the same details.

So, can you say that this lie actually happened?

"cannot!"

"Unless there is substantial, objective evidence!"

Zhang Wei immediately rejected the proposal, leaving no room for argument.

"And neither the police nor the prosecution have ever submitted any evidence!"

These words were spoken.

The prosecution.

Prosecutor Wang Mang couldn't hold back any longer and immediately shouted angrily, "The defendant's bullying behavior can be prosecuted up to four years ago!"

"What kind of evidence could remain unprotected for a full four years?!"

Zhang Wei reacted swiftly, immediately shouting angrily, "This is not an excuse for you to make baseless accusations against someone!"

Wang Mang felt a surge of anger rising in his throat.

"you!"

Zhang Wei didn't give him a chance to continue speaking and immediately turned to look at Zhang Bingxin.

"Your Honor, the above is our first point: there is no substantial evidence to prove that the defendant committed any bullying acts."

"In addition, we have a second point to make!"

Presiding Judge Zhang Bingxin nodded, frowned, glanced at the prosecution, and warned, "Prosecution, please observe court discipline and do not interrupt others' arguments!"

The words were spoken.

Even though Wang Mang was unwilling, he could only shut his mouth in anger and sit in his seat, staring at the other party with an unfriendly expression.

Substantial evidence...where are they going to find substantial evidence?!

Liu Jingqi's bullying often involved using her hands to cause bruises to her victims. Some victims didn't even go to the hospital. Even if they did, how could you prove that Liu Jingqi was responsible?

The other party isn't stupid enough to assault someone under surveillance!

Zhang Bingxin took a deep breath, looked at the defendant, and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Defendant, please continue."

at the same time.

Outside the courtroom.

"What was being said in court? It sounded like the prosecution was cross-examining witnesses."

"Crossing the line of evidence? What kind of evidence can the prosecution cross-examine? Isn't this case already quite clear?"

"No, if you think about it... the defendant might not actually be convicted."

"Of course, I'm referring to the part that has nothing to do with Yang Jiale."

""

In front of the main entrance of the Second Court.

The group stood at the door, listening anxiously to the intermittent sounds coming from the poor soundproofing.

The courtroom door before them seemed like Pandora's box, a place of immense temptation, yet they could only look at it, unable to open it.

But despite this.

The rumors that circulated were enough for the people outside the door to discuss.

"What do you mean by 'unconvictable'? You can kill someone and not be convicted?!"

"Not all cases are like the Lijiacun case!"

Someone frowned and said.

The reason why Wang Qiang from Lijia Village was exonerated with great difficulty was purely because Xu De insisted on the special circumstances of legitimate self-defense.

In addition, there were specific reasons why the judge broke the long-dormant case of acquittal.

but.

The dormant law refers to legitimate self-defense.

Not innocent!

Despite the appalling behavior of Liu Jingqi and her two companions, which even led to a human tragedy and the loss of two precious lives, the incident still occurred.

But... in theory, it's much simpler to fight for innocence than to fight for Wang Qiang!

"The defendant's acts of murder and bullying cannot be substantiated!"

An older reporter frowned and spoke in a low voice.

The innocence Zhang Wei wanted to fight was not the kind of innocence Xu De had, but a relatively easy and not uncommon kind of innocence.

Right now..

Break the chain of evidence!

Unless there is sufficient evidence to substantiate the charges, the accusations and prosecutions will naturally be dropped.

If the case is withdrawn, there will be no trial, and the defendant will be deemed innocent.

"Can..

""

The man wanted to say something more, but unfortunately, the reporter who was closer to the door suddenly changed his expression.

"Shh~!"

The reporters in front repeatedly made a "shush" gesture and then pricked up their ears.

"There's movement again!"

Second Court.

Inside the courtroom.

The Second Courtroom was no longer as desolate as it had been at the beginning.

Inside the trial area, the tension between the prosecution and the defense grew increasingly palpable.

Looking at the prosecutor's seat, and at Huang Shi beside her, whose case had been dismissed by the opposing side with an "exhaustive argument," Lin Yue, an experienced member of the team, shook her head and whispered, "Prosecutor Huang is being targeted."

"Zhang Wei's legal team must have specifically studied his tactics and methods, and they are clearly targeting his weakness of only relying on evidence to make a point."

Because of her upbringing, she has a high perspective; she could tell right from the start that Zhang Wei wasn't there to testify.

He came here to dismantle Yellowstone's flaws!

"That's interesting." Xu De smiled at the other person.

At this moment...

dock.

Zhang Wei nodded, a calm smile on his face. He continued, "Second..."

"6

Regarding the prosecution's charges that the defendant intentionally injured or killed the victim, Yang Jiale, resulting in her death...

'

"We do not agree!"

These words were spoken.

"objection!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

"I apologize, Your Honor, but we did not mean to interrupt the other side."

Xu De suddenly spoke, not giving the other party time to continue, saying, "The defendant."

"Previously, you argued that the prosecution was unable to provide evidence. Now... I'd like to ask you that."

"Regarding your second point, can you provide any substantial evidence to support it?"

Zhang Wei's meaning was clear to everyone.

It's nothing more than trying to use "possibility" and taking advantage of the fact that the victim is already dead, and that the only thing related to the case is the defendant, to tamper with the facts.

If they're trying to tamper with things verbally, then...

What substantial evidence can he possibly produce?

It should be noted that although there were no surveillance cameras on the rooftop, the evidence collected by the police from the messy scene was sufficient to demonstrate that Liu Jingqi's actions in harming Yang Jiale were intentional!

How can you possibly wash away white teeth that are already white?

Upon hearing this...

"The victim's legal representative is right."

Lawyer Zhang Wei, however, did not show any urgency or dissatisfaction at having his thoughts interrupted.

But then he abruptly changed the subject, saying, "My side..."

""

"There are witnesses and evidence!"

witness?

Xu De paused abruptly, raised an eyebrow, then frowned, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the other person thoughtfully, saying, "A witness?"

"May I ask... what kind of witness are you?"

Zhang Wei said, "The deceased Yang Jiale's teacher was Lü Guangjun, the homeroom teacher of Class 4, Grade 12 at No. 18 Middle School!!!"
