Chapter 129 A true warrior, dare to take the judge's face and output!
Luo Dazhuang raised his hand.
"What the defense lawyer said is groundless speculation without any basis, and he is deliberately misleading the witness!"
Chen Zhonghan nodded and said: "The objection is valid, please ask the defense lawyer to ask again."
During the trial, if a witness appears in court, the opposing lawyer will generally use various techniques to guide and coerce the witness to make him say the wrong thing unintentionally in order to refute his testimony.
At this time, the lawyer has the right to object.
But a valid reason needs to be given.
This is a great test of the lawyer’s professionalism and even more so, his ability to respond to situations on the spot.
Chen Mengzhe's questions were to guide the witness to say something that might affect the credibility of his testimony. Luo Dazhuang's objection was naturally effective.
Chen Mengzhe was a little surprised, but he was also an experienced barrister. He quickly reorganized his thoughts and asked again: "Our client is committed to public welfare and has established a public welfare legal consulting department in the law firm. What do you think of her as a person?"
?Are you a person who is enthusiastic about public welfare and full of enthusiasm?"
"be opposed to!"
Just as He Zheng was about to answer, he was interrupted by a deep and powerful voice.
Luo Dazhuang raised his hand at the plaintiff's seat, "The defense lawyer is guiding the witnesses to speculate!"
"The objection is valid. Please ask the defense lawyer to ask the question again."
Chen Zhonghan said.
Luo Dazhuang smiled slightly and slowly put down his hand.
This scene also made everyone in the audience slightly surprised.
"By interrupting the opponent's lawyer's rhythm with continuous objections, he is worthy of Mr. Luo."
"But...Lawyer Chen is not a newbie, so he shouldn't cause any trouble."
"Look below, this trial will definitely be more exciting than we imagined!"
"..."
Jiang Bai was also secretly speechless.
Today's Luo Dazhuang seems sharper and sharper than when he appeared in court in the past!
As his opponent, he will be in trouble.
Jiang Bai glanced at it accidentally.
Not far away, Zhou Chaoqun was taking notes seriously.
The learning attitude is very good.
On the field.
Chen Mengzhe took a deep breath.
Although he has extensive experience in court, he has to admit that his rhythm was indeed greatly affected by being interrupted to ask questions twice in a row, and his mentality also fluctuated.
After adjusting for a few seconds, Chen Mengzhe asked again: "Witness, your testimony just now is a very serious accusation. Can you be responsible for your speech?"
"Can."
"So, what evidence do you have to prove what you said?"
There is actually surveillance, so this is going to be difficult.
"Witness, have you ever thought that testifying in court this time may have a huge impact on your career?" Chen Mengzhe asked with a frown.
"...thought about it."
"So, can you tell me why you came to testify in court? Is it to avenge your dissatisfaction, or is someone promising you something?"
Chen Mengzhe stared at He Zheng.
Once He Zheng showed even the slightest flaw, he would immediately seize it to make a fuss about it, thus preventing He Zheng's testimony from being accepted by the collegial panel.
But right now.
Luo Dazhuang interrupted his question again: "Objection! The defense lawyer is guiding the witness to speak!"
Chen Zhonghan gave Chen Mengzhe a warning look and said in a deep voice: "The objection is valid, defense lawyer, please pay attention to the way you ask questions!"
Chen Mengzhe felt frustrated, gritted his teeth and said, "I have no problem, but just relying on the testimony of one witness still cannot prove the fact that our client deliberately spread the words!"
How does it count as spreading rumors if you only tell one person?
The words just fell.
Zhang Wei stood up, smiled slightly and said: "Of course there is more than one person! We request additional evidence."
"Agree." Chen Zhonghan nodded.
"Thank you, Your Honor."
Zhang Wei smiled and then raised a piece of evidence and said: "This evidence contains the testimonies of thirteen witnesses, all of which have undergone judicial impartiality to ensure authenticity and validity."
"These thirteen witnesses all pointed out that defendant No. 1 told them that our client was suspected of rape and proposed to re-elect the president of the Law Society."
The evidence is then presented to the judge.
In the dock.
Li Meijun's expression turned extremely ugly.
Chen Mengzhe also frowned.
The battle had just begun, and they were beaten so hard that they were unable to fight back.
They didn't expect Luo Dazhuang to be so well prepared!
He also underestimated Luo Dazhou’s energy.
In less than three days, he found a dozen witnesses, all of whom were willing to testify in court!
It even includes people working for Jinke Law Firm and Li Meijun.
"Lawyer Li, Lawyer Chen, what should we do now?" Qiao Na was already a little panicked.
Although she didn't understand the legal provisions, she could still see that the current situation was very unfavorable to her.
Li Meijun had a gloomy face and said nothing.
The following time is said to be a court debate, but in fact, it is more like Li Meijun's death struggle.
It's pointless resistance.
After half an hour of ultimate torture.
"winter!"
Chen Zhonghan banged the gavel and ended the debate.
Then came the final statements from both sides.
Luo Dazhuang's statement was very simple. He just explained in a very calm tone the bad impact this slander had on himself, and expressed his hope that the collegial panel would give the defendant a harsher sentence.
Next comes the defendant's statement.
Qiao Na stood up with a tense face and stammered: "I, I plead guilty... the plaintiff did not assault me. That night, we drugged the wine he drank and fell into a deep sleep..."
beside.
Li Meijun shook her head secretly.
Useless.
Pleading guilty after failing to plead not guilty will not help in reducing the penalty at all!
Therefore, Li Meijun voluntarily gave up the final statement.
But she didn't force Qiao Na.
"...Actually, I was not prepared to retaliate against the accuser at all. It was Li Meijun! She proposed it on her own initiative, and she designed the whole plan... I was just bewitched by her in a moment of confusion..."
At this time, Qiao Na was like a drowning person, struggling crazily, stepping on another drowning person and trying to swim up.
And Li Meijun was the one who was stepped on by her.
The crime of defamation has not been eliminated, but the principal and accomplices will still affect the sentencing.
Hearing Qiao Na's words, Li Meijun's expression suddenly changed.
"Jona! What are you talking about!"
Qiao Na shouted very fast: "I'm not talking nonsense! It's really Li Meijun's envoy, and I have a recording! Every time I talk to her, I record it!"
Mist grass!
Jiang Bai suddenly became energetic.
I didn’t expect that such a wonderful scene could happen even during garbage time.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Wei immediately stood up and signaled: "Your Excellency, we are applying to submit new evidence!"
Chen Zhonghan agreed.
Then, Qiao Na's cell phone recording was retrieved and played in court.
The recording shows that it was indeed Li Meijun who initiated the "retaliation action" and the entire plan was designed by Li Meijun.
Moreover, she is also doing the spreading of rumors.
As for Qiao Na...
Apart from drinking a few glasses of wine with Luo Dazhuang, she had done nothing else.
In the entire crime process, the weight was very light.
Li Meijun was completely stunned.
She never expected that she would be stabbed in the back by her teammates at the last moment!
And it hit the vital point directly.
pain!
It hurts so much!
"Jona! Are you sick?"
"You said during the chat that you hated Luo Fei deeply, and that Luo Fei destroyed your family. I decided to help you out of sympathy. Are you selling me now?"
Li Meijun was so angry that she was shaking all over.
Qiao Na shouted excitedly: "What I said is the truth, what's wrong with me!"
"I just complained to you at that time, but you deliberately led me. If it weren't for you, how could I have been sued?"
"I have been harmed by you, and I have been harmed by you all my life!"
Li Meijun's eyes widened: "I harmed you? How could you have the nerve to say such a thing!"
"It's you who hurt me! It's you! I agreed because you said there was no risk!"
"You fart! You were ready to call the police at that time. If I hadn't stopped you, you would have been charged with false accusations and frame-ups now!"
"I don't care, you are the mastermind anyway, and I was bewitched by you."
"You XX!..."
The more the two of them quarreled, the more violent they became.
Li Meijun has completely lost her usual composure, acting like a scolding shrew.
She really broke her guard.
Qiao Na was not inferior at all, her voice was even higher than Li Meijun's.
Seeing the two of them quarreling more and more intensely.
Chen Zhonghan banged the gavel heavily.
"quiet!"
"Attention to court order!"
"It's none of your business! Just shut up!" Qiao Na, who was furious, cursed at Chen Zhonghan with her eyes wide open.
Suddenly, the whole place fell into deathly silence.
Countless pairs of eyes fell on Qiao Na.
Mist grass!
Is it so exciting?
Seeing such a feat, even Wu, who outputs bailiff at level A, would have to be defeated.
Jiang Bai's face was full of surprise.
He boasts that he has seen many strange defendants.
But it was really the first time for Qiao Na to criticize the judge and show her face.
"Fah, your honor, I, I, I didn't mean it, I, I don't know what happened, I..."
When Qiao Na came back to her senses, she was so anxious that she almost cried.
He kept bowing and apologizing, his lips trembling and his voice trembling.
beside.
Li Meijun glanced at her with a sneer.
Deserve it!
Chen Zhonghan's face turned pale, and unknown fire rushed into his heart.
He has been a judge for some years, but this is the first time he has been scolded by a defendant.
Moreover, today's auditorium was almost entirely filled with people from Longcheng's judicial circles, so he was completely embarrassed.
Chen Zhonghan took a deep breath, glanced at Qiao Na, and said solemnly: "The court will be adjourned for half an hour now. The court will reopen in half an hour and the verdict will be announced!"
After saying that, he left the courtroom with the jurors with a dark face.
In the dock.
Qiao Na's face turned pale, and she sat down on the chair in despair.
Very upset.
Li Meijun gave her a thumbs up with a sneer on her lips.
Although insulting the judge is not a criminal offense, you must know that the final verdict is reached by the judge and the jury through deliberations.
In the same situation, there may be completely different judgments.
After all, judges are just ordinary people, not saints.
The defendant pointed at his nose and cursed him, how can you still ask the judge to repay evil with kindness and give the defendant a lighter sentence?
This is unrealistic.
It would be considered lenient not to intentionally increase the punishment.
It turned out that Qiao Na's unintentional statement made her an accessory, and the level of participation was very low. There was a high probability that the sentence would not exceed one year, and it was very likely that she would even be sentenced to probation.
But now...
All we can say is that Qiao Na is "dead"!
…
Half an hour flew by.
Soon, the court will reopen.
"winter!"
The gavel fell.
The court immediately fell silent and everyone stood up.
Chen Zhonghan glanced at Qiao Na, his eyes paused briefly, and then began to read out the verdict:
"The Criminal Tribunal of the People's Court of Binjiang District, Longcheng City has completed the trial of Li Meijun and Qiao Na for defamation."
"The following judgment is hereby made!"
"Gudu!"
Qiao Na swallowed hard.
His hands were tightly grasping the corners of his clothes, panicking.
"The defendant Li Meijun was found guilty of defamation, knew the law and violated the law, and had a bad attitude in pleading guilty... He was sentenced to three years in prison and ordered to pay 20,000 yuan in compensation for the victim's mental loss."
"The defendant Qiao Na was found guilty of defamation and had a bad attitude in pleading guilty... She was sentenced to one year and six months in prison and ordered to pay 10,000 yuan in compensation for the victim's mental loss."
"The above judgment will officially take effect from the date of trial and will be implemented immediately!"
"If the defendant is dissatisfied with this judgment, he may appeal to the higher people's court within fifteen days."
The verdict is out.
Li Meijun turned to look at Luo Dazhuang and smiled brightly.
Lost.
A complete loss.
In fact, Li Meijun didn't feel wronged by losing to Luo Dazhuang.
But being stabbed in the back by Qiao Na made her feel extremely unhappy.
"Woo woo, woo woo..."
There was a sound of crying beside me.
Joanna broke down emotionally and burst into tears.
A good life was ruined like this.
"The matter has come to this, what's the use of crying!"
Li Meijun said contemptuously.
"It's all your fault! You still said sarcastic words, I will fight with you!"
Qiao Na screamed strangely, as if she was going crazy, and threw Li Meijun to the ground, grabbing her throat with both hands.
Li Meijun's entire face immediately turned red, and not to be outdone, she tore Qiao Na's hair hard.
The two men started a close-quarters fight right in the dock.
The bailiff quickly stepped forward, separated the two men, and forcibly detained them.
When being restrained by the bailiff, the two of them were still cursing.
Jiang Bai smiled and shook his head.
It seems that not only men's prisons are about to experience prison dramas, but women's prisons are also expected to have exciting dramas in the near future.
So far.
The incident ended with Li Meijun and Qiao Na being imprisoned, and Luo Dazhuang proving his innocence.
The news spread and caused quite a stir in the judicial circles of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces.
When people who understand the law break the law, the harm is greater and it is more difficult to punish.
In the afternoon of the same day, the other two vice-presidents of the Lawyers Association personally approached Luo Dazhuang, hoping that he could resume his role as president of the Lawyers Association.
But Luo Dazhuang refused.
What's so good about being the president of the Law Society? There are a lot of trivial matters, why not just be a nominal consultant and relax...
