Chapter 128 The opponent has just played a pair of three, and this side directly throws the king!

Three days flew by.

In a blink of an eye, the day of court came.

At 9:30 in the morning, Jiang Bai, Luo Dazhuang and Zhang Wei met at the entrance of the court.

"Teacher Luo, this must be your first time in court as a plaintiff. How do you feel at this moment, faced with this situation?"

Jiang Bai held up his cell phone as a microphone and stretched it out in front of Luo Dazhuang.

Luo Dazhuang clasped his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "I only come to the court to do three things: win the case, win the case, or win the case like a horse!"

"Okay! I wish Luo Dazhuang a great victory!" Jiang Bai applauded.

Zhang Wei also smiled and clapped.

"Let's go."

The three of them walked side by side, walked into the court, and arrived at the criminal trial court with ease.

Jiang Bai sat in seat C of the auditorium, waiting for the court session with excitement.

This is the first time he has sat in this position. Well, the view is good.

However, this time it was different from usual. There were no familiar elders and aunties in the auditorium. Instead, there were mainly young and middle-aged people, and they all had some unique characteristics.

lawyer!

Although Jiang Bai didn't know these people, he could probably guess their occupations.

Even if you are not a lawyer, you are definitely engaged in judicial work.

Luo Dazhuang is a real industry expert. Many of his cases have even been used as teaching materials by the University of Political Science and Law. He has also given lectures many times, and they were always full.

This time, I am the plaintiff myself, which is very rare.

Moreover, the defendant in this case is also a well-known figure in the legal circles of Longcheng.

It can be expected that this will be an exciting confrontation.

Therefore, many people from the Longcheng legal community made a special trip to observe.

Jiang Bai glanced around and found a familiar face.

Zhou Chaoqun.

It was the young legal aid lawyer who defended Zhao Long and Zhao Hu.

He has his legs together, a hard-cover notebook on his thigh, and a pen in the chest pocket of his shirt. He looks like a good student who listens carefully in class and takes notes carefully...

His face was full of anticipation and excitement.

As time goes by.

Soon, the defendant appeared.

Li Meijun and Qiao Na walked in with gloomy faces, followed by a middle-aged man in a suit and tie.

It was their defense lawyer, Chen Mengzhe, senior partner of Jinke Law Firm.

"Luo Fei!"

As soon as she saw Luo Dazhuang, Qiao Na gritted her teeth with hatred.

Her father died, but the murderer was acquitted and walked free.

Her mother and relatives went to seek justice, but they were all sent to jail.

The originally happy family became torn apart because of that vicious litigant.

Qiao Na, who was still young at the time, secretly made up her mind to make the culprit pay the price.

I just didn't expect that the move would be wrong after all.

"Stay calm and don't act recklessly."

Li Meijun noticed Qiao Na's abnormality and patted her shoulder gently.

At the same time, he gave Chen Mengzhe a look.

The latter immediately understood.

Emphasize some court discipline and precautions in a low voice to Qiao Na.

She is too emotional.

If you don't stabilize yourself at that time, say something you shouldn't say or do something you shouldn't do, it may affect the overall situation.

Li Meijun came to the plaintiff's seat, looked at Luo Dazhuang in front of her with complicated eyes, and spoke slowly:

"Senior Brother Luo, we are all legal persons, and we should respect the law and abide by the law!"

"But you actually use those off-target moves, I look down on you."

Luo Dazhuang smiled slightly, crossed his fingers, and casually placed them on the table at the plaintiff's seat. He glanced at Li Meijun and said, "There is a sentence that I like very much and I deeply believe in it. I will give it to you for free."

"To deal with the devil, you have to have some devil's methods."

"What do you think?"

Li Meijun narrowed her eyes slightly and gritted her teeth: "Are you sure to win?"

"Not necessarily, my chance of winning is only 99.99999% at most." Luo Dazhuang spread his hands and said calmly.

Li Meijun's breathing suddenly became stagnant and she was furious.

At this moment, the judge and jurors entered the court one after another.

It's court time.

Li Meijun glared at Luo Dazhuang and quickly returned to the defendant's seat.

"winter!"

Judge Chen Zhonghan banged the gavel heavily: "Today, in accordance with the provisions of Article 246 of the Criminal Law, the Criminal Tribunal of the Binjiang District People's Court of Longcheng City, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province publicly tried the defendants Li Meijun and Qiao Na for defamation in accordance with the law.

.”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the plaintiff's bench.

His eyelids suddenly twitched unconsciously.

It was the first time that this man had ever attended a trial as a plaintiff.

I really want to see him appear in the defendant's seat...

Chen Zhonghan had a bad joke in his heart, withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice: "Now, the court is officially open!"

Then, there is the fixed process.

The clerk reads out the court discipline...

Confirm the identities of all parties...

After everything is over.

Chen Zhonghan looked at the plaintiff's table and said, "Please read out the indictment."

Zhang Wei stood up and said: "Thirteen days ago, after the lawyers' exchange meeting, defendant No. 1 invited our client to drink at defendant No. 2's house."

"At around 11:30 that night, defendant No. 1 left first, and our client was suspected of being drugged and fell unconscious..."

"Two days later..."

"..."

"Defendant No. 2 claimed to have been violated by our client, and defendant No. 1 used this as an excuse to convene a high-level meeting of the Lawyers Association..."

"This incident not only directly caused our client to lose his position as president of the Law Society, but also seriously violated our client's right to reputation and personal dignity!"

"The circumstances are serious and constitute defamation!"

"The relevant evidence is all available, and there is no fiction or exaggeration."

"I ask the judge to give the two defendants a harsher sentence..."

After saying that, Zhang Wei sat down.

Chen Zhonghan looked at the defendant's seat: "Defendant, what do you have to say about the plaintiff's accusations?"

Chen Mengzhe stood up immediately and said loudly: "We believe that the accusations made by the plaintiff are false and are a slander against our client!"

When these words are spoken, the defendant's defense ideas are already expressed.

Not guilty plea!

It's not about reducing the sentence, it's about being innocent.

If you are defending a reduced sentence, the basic idea is to actively admit guilt and accept punishment, take the initiative to apologize and make compensation, and try to find as many legal reasons for a lighter sentence as possible to strive for a lighter sentence.

If it is a not guilty plea, the first thing to do is to deny the accusation. In this case, it will be fine if you win the case. But once you lose the case, you will be sentenced to a harsher sentence because you refuse to plead guilty, etc.!

Li Meijun is obviously desperate and desperate.

"Given that the defendant does not admit the crime, the next step will be a trial on whether the crime of defamation is established."

Chen Zhonghan nodded slowly and said: "Next, we will enter the stages of evidence production, cross-examination and court debate, and ask the plaintiff to provide evidence."

Zhang Wei began to list the evidence.

The most powerful evidence is the two recordings from the driving recorder.

In these two recordings, Li Meijun almost bluntly stated her plan with Qiao Na, and also mentioned "drugs".

In addition, there is some supporting evidence.

For example, the grievance between Qiao Na's family and Luo Dazhuang, and the past dispute between Li Meijun and Luo Dazhuang. The direction of these evidences is the motive of the two people's slander.

Soon, Zhang Wei showed all the evidence.

"Defendant, do you have any doubts about the plaintiff's evidence?" Chen Zhonghan asked, looking at the defendant's seat.

These evidences are basically equivalent to bright cards, and they are all within Li Meijun's expectations.

Naturally, corresponding preparations have already been made.

Chen Mengzhe said: "We have no objection to the authenticity and legality of Evidence No. 2 and Evidence No. 3, but we do not recognize their relevance."

"The relationship between our client and the defendant does not directly prove that they have the motive to slander and frame the defendant."

"If we follow the plaintiff's logic, wouldn't we as lawyers face retaliation from countless people every day?"

Chen Mengzhe spread his hands towards the auditorium seats.

"Hahaha……"

Many people laughed.

After receiving a warning look from the bailiff's eyes, everyone shut up and kept silent.

"As for evidence No. 1, we have no objection."

As soon as this statement came out, many people were confused.

To put it bluntly, there are basically two ways to defend innocence.

One is to refute the plaintiff's key evidence so that it will not be accepted by the collegial panel.

The second article is that one's side must provide strong enough evidence to prove one's innocence.

In comparison, it is obviously easier and more credible to refute the evidence.

After all, the emphasis in private prosecution cases is "whoever asserts the case shall provide evidence." As long as the other party's evidence is refuted, there will naturally be no conviction.

But Chen Mengzhe actually gave up this step.

This was unexpected by many people.

However, Luo Dazhuang always smiled and was obviously not surprised by this situation.

Because evidence No. 1 is evidence collected in court.

Among the three aspects of evidence, authenticity and legality are definitely not a problem. As for relevance...if we want to refute it from the aspect of relevance, it would be unless it can be proven that Luo Dazhuang really violated Qiao Na.

On this point, if Qiao Na bites her to death, it will indeed bring some trouble to Luo Dazhuang.

But at the same time, the troubles between her and Li Meijun will also increase accordingly.

Because this involves the second crime.

False accusation and frame-up!

Article 243 of the Criminal Law stipulates that the crime of false accusation and frame-up refers to fabricating facts to frame others with the intention of subjecting others to criminal prosecution.

If the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance;

Those who cause serious consequences shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years.

Li Meijun and Li Meijun did not report the incident to the public security organs, nor did they file a lawsuit in court, because they did not dare to take the risk.

Even in court, Li Meijun did not dare to fight back from this aspect.

Therefore, we simply gave up questioning Evidence No. 1.

This is equivalent to indirectly admitting that Luo Dazhuang did not violate Qiao Na!

At this point, Luo Dazhuang has actually won half the battle and successfully washed away the dirty water on his body.

The next step is to send these two people in and achieve a complete victory.

He raised his eyes and looked towards the field.

Chen Mengzhe continued: "To establish the crime of defamation, the objective aspect of the crime must be that the perpetrator fabricated and spread some fictitious facts."

"In this incident, our client did have the intention to fabricate the facts, but they did not have strong malice. They were just making a small joke with the plaintiff."

"Our client has not spread this fictitious fact, so how can it be considered defamation?"

Seeing that Chen Mengzhe had finished speaking, Luo Dazhuang smiled contemptuously and nodded towards Zhang Wei.

The latter immediately raised his hands and said: "We request to summon witnesses to appear in court."

Chen Zhonghan nodded: "Agree."

Soon, witnesses came to court.

He is a man, slightly stout, and looks to be around forty years old.

Seeing him appear in court, Li Meijun's expression changed slightly.

It was obviously not expected that this man would testify.

Zhang Wei asked the witness: "Witness, please introduce yourself first."

The witness said: "My name is He Zheng, I am a junior partner of Jinke Law Firm and a director of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Lawyers Association."

"very good."

Zhang Wei nodded and continued: "Please tell me where you were, who you were with, what you said, and what you did around 9:30 in the evening of X month X."

"I was at my home at the time, and Director Li came to my home as a guest..."

He Zheng glanced at Li Meijun and said slowly: "She told me that Teacher Luo was suspected of rape. The girl who was violated consulted her about relevant legal issues and was temporarily comforted by her."

"It was also said that Mr. Luo may face serious accusations and may have a negative impact on the Lawyers Association. Therefore, it was proposed that Mr. Luo should step down and re-elect the president."

"The director wanted me to support her and promised to promote me to senior partner."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

The other side has just made a one-on-three, and this side just throws the king bomb!

Li Meijun's face became extremely ugly.

She never expected that Luo Dazhuang could convince He Zheng to testify for him!

"Oh, that's it, I understand." Zhang Wei looked at the judge and said, "Your Honor, I have no problem."

"I request to interrogate the witness." Chen Mengzhe quickly raised his hand.

After getting the judge's consent, he walked towards He Zheng, stared at him, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. He Zheng, as far as I know, you have joined Jinke Law Firm for two and a half years, and you have applied for it since a year ago.

Is it possible to be promoted to senior partner but be rejected repeatedly?"

He Zheng nodded: "Yes."

Chen Mengzhe raised the corner of his mouth and said slowly: "You claim that you are qualified enough to be a senior partner, but you have never received the treatment you deserve. Therefore, you are dissatisfied with our client, who is the director of the law firm, and..."

"be opposed to!"

Before Chen Mengzhe could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice.
