Chapter Eighteen Conflict in Court
() The morning time slipped away like a loach. In the afternoon, Ye Weimin had a criminal case, and Gao Si had to accompany him throughout the whole process. He has now become Ye Weimin's full-time driver.
It is very easy to get angry when driving in Haicheng. There is heavy traffic and many and long red lights. Director Ye is an impatient person. When encountering traffic jams or traffic lights, he often collides with other people's cars for those few critical seconds.
He caused many civil disputes and fought many lawsuits, but rarely lost.
However, in order to save worry, after learning that Gao Si could drive, he directly threw the keys to Gao Si and sat comfortably in the back seat. The time on the court summons was three o'clock this afternoon in Haicheng City.
Intermediate People's Court, Hall 3, this is the second instance.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Si set off at the urging of the director. Along with him was Zhao Sheng, a salaried criminal lawyer and the second defense lawyer. Gao Si had a relatively mild temperament, but for some reason today,
There were a lot of cars on the road, stopping every three steps and stopping every three times. Now he wished he could drive a tank and drive straight to the middle courtyard.
Director Ye was still so emotional that he was pinned down in the back seat. He cursed loudly along the way, first he cursed Haicheng's traffic environment, then he cursed Haicheng's municipal environment, and finally he cursed the drivers who took advantage of every opportunity. In short, all kinds of
Kind of scolding.
Lawyer Zhao Sheng is not tall and slightly overweight, probably because he has a broad mind and a fat body. Otherwise, he would not have been working as a director for three years and still gained some weight. He sat silently in the passenger seat and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Looks peaceful.
Amid Ye Weimin's scolding, Gao Si bit the bullet and drove the Volkswagen to the city center. Ye Weimin and Zhao Sheng got off the car first, and he had to find a parking space. After parking the car, Gao Si immediately hurriedly
Go chase Director Ye.
After catching up, he saw Ye Weimin just walking to the door and immediately followed him. Gao Si followed him so closely like a tail. There was a reason. He didn't have a lawyer's license, no one took him with him, and he didn't even go through the first security check.
Easy to pass.
Ye Weimin and Zhao Sheng handed over their lawyer certificates to the security personnel and quickly passed the inspection. After Gao Si's ID card was scanned, his whole body was scanned again. Finally, he had to store his mobile phone and other items before he could enter. Every time
It was all so troublesome, which made Gao Si eager for a lawyer's license.
This inspection made Gao Si fall behind again. Ye Weimin was not used to waiting for people. He had already taken Zhao Sheng to the trial court. When Gao Si walked to the door, he found that it was a medium-sized court that could accommodate dozens of people.
, there was a magistrate standing at the door. He was about to block him from the door, but Ye Weimin saw it and said hello, and he was qualified to listen.
There were still ten minutes left before leaving court. Ye Weimin and Zhao Sheng began to change into lawyer robes. After the large and slightly sacred lawyer robes were put on them, they immediately had a unique charm. Generally, they would dress more casually unless they encountered criminal cases.
, now naturally for solemnity and majesty.
Gao Si watched the two of them sit in the defendant's box, while he sat silently in the auditorium. Without a lawyer's license, he was not qualified to sit in the defense box. In one civil case, he wanted to join in and sit for a while.
Get a feel for that seat, but before the trial begins, the judge will test their defense qualifications one by one, so he was unceremoniously "invited" to the audience again.
This case was handled by Director Ye before Gao Si arrived at the People's Office. He knew almost nothing about the case. The first people to come were the family members of the client, a total of more than ten men and women.
,Subsequently, the victim’s family members also came, and the emotions of both parties were relatively calm.
However, when the client was escorted to the scene by the law, his mother and sister became emotional. Especially his mother, when she saw her son, who had served more than a year in prison, walking out in prison uniform, she immediately rushed to him.
He was stopped unceremoniously by the law.
The victim's father was more emotional than the family members of the client. When he saw the other party, he immediately stood up and shouted: "Your honor, you have to make the decision for us. My son's death cannot be in vain..." he said
By the end, I was so choked up that I couldn't speak.
In this second trial, the presiding judge was transferred from Donghai Province for the purpose of ensuring a fair trial. When he saw the other party's passionate emotions, he immediately spoke to comfort him. He waited until both parties were relatively calm before starting the trial process.
As the trial process progressed, Gao Si gradually understood that this was a car accident suspected of intentional homicide. At around 1 a.m. on December 1, 2011, the defendant Li drove a large truck through the Meiguan Tax Station to save money.
, forced customs clearance, resulting in the death of a tax law enforcement officer on the spot. Later investigation revealed that the tax card settings on this road were unreasonable. According to incomplete statistics, nearly 3,000 vehicles were cleared every month.
vehicles, and Li is just one of them. What is even more outrageous is that some of the tax enforcement officers directly guarded the post with sticks. When they saw the vehicles passing through the customs, they immediately attacked them in groups. This is also the reason for the accident.
Reason.
During the trial, as the victim's defenders, the two prosecutors repeatedly asked questions about the relevant details of the case, mainly to verify whether Li had the intention to kill. Li mostly responded to the lawyer's instructions and responded simply. As Li
The defense lawyers, Ye Weimin and Zhao Sheng, raised the doubts of the case one by one. After all, this case was sentenced to twenty years, and the sentence was based on intentional homicide and surrender. After the subsequent investigation and evidence collection, Ye Weimin discovered that,
The defendant's intention to kill was very reluctant.
The sentencing principle for intentional homicide cases requires the intention to kill. However, Li and the victim Zhang did not know each other, had no hatred, and had no motive for killing. Therefore, the death caused by this accident can only be regarded as an accident at best, and an accident
The sentencing for the accident will obviously be much lighter. This is also the focus of Ye Weimin's defense.
The judge rarely ends the case in court unless the facts are clear and the case is simple. Therefore, after the trial is over, they have to go home. At this time, an episode occurred at the court hearing. The victim's father,
He suddenly jumped up, rushed past the obstruction of the court, and rushed directly to Ye Weimin. As he rushed, he cursed: "You black-hearted lawyer, open your eyes and tell lies, give back my son's life!"
Led by the victim's father, the victim's relatives and friends, who had already been angered by Ye Weimin's sharp defense opinions, also stood up and rushed towards Ye Weimin. They did not dare to express their anger to the judge and the judiciary, but beat the lawyer.
Shouldn’t it be considered assaulting a state worker?
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ye Weimin quickly stopped collecting case materials, immediately abandoned lawyer Zhao Sheng, and rushed to the door of the hall. Seeing that the situation was not good, Gao Si had no choice but to rush forward and help him stop the crazy family members of the victims.
.
"Calm down! Everyone must calm down!" The presiding judge saw this scene, his face changed slightly, and he shouted repeatedly. The two judges with limited power were responsible for keeping an eye on the criminals, and it was impossible to lend a helping hand.
.
Gao Si took a quick look and found that with Ye Weimin's current speed, he couldn't escape the encirclement of everyone. Seeing that a fight was about to happen, in desperation, he could only follow the idea of "capture the thief first, capture the king" and jumped into the air.
With one leap, he knocked away the two uncles, grabbed the victim's father, and yelled: "If anyone wants to move, don't blame me for being rude!"
This shocking roar immediately attracted everyone's attention. At this time, they were surprised to find that the victim's father was being choked by this handsome young man. Everyone saw that someone was about to kill someone, so they immediately stopped.
The action and the chaotic atmosphere at the scene suddenly fell silent...
