Chapter 17 Attorney Zhang Wei: This client is the worst I have ever brought! (3500 word chapter)
As the judge bangs the gavel, the trial officially begins!
The clerk stood up and began to read the court discipline:
"One, all persons present in court must..."
"Two, no making noise, no clapping..."
"Three, when the person being questioned by the court answered the question..."
"Four, the bailiff has the right to stop behavior that does not comply with court order..."
"Fifth, to show respect for the country's legal system..."
Then, the judge knocked the gavel and a solemn voice sounded: "In accordance with the provisions of Article 266 of the Criminal Law, the Criminal Tribunal of Binjiang District People's Court of Longcheng City, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province publicly tried the defendant Chen Xin for fraud in accordance with the law.
"
The next step is to verify the identities of the prosecutor, defendant, defendant's defense lawyer, and victim.
After everything was completed, the judge said: "Please ask the prosecutor to read out the indictment."
The prosecutor is a prosecutor from the Procuratorate named "Shen Tianci". He is in his early thirties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and has a very elegant look.
He stood up, held the indictment in both hands and began to read:
"Defendant: Chen Xin, male, 34 years old, born in..."
"The defendant Chen Xin conducted false propaganda through online live broadcasts, violated consumer rights, and illegally obtained profits. He was suspected of fraud. The investigation was completed by the Binjiang Branch and transferred to this court for review and prosecution."
"This court believes that his behavior violated the provisions of Article 266 of the Criminal Law and constituted the crime of fraud, and the amount was extremely huge. We are now filing a public prosecution in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law."
"The litigation claims are as follows:"
"1. According to the law, the criminal defendant Chen Xin was sentenced to commit the crime of fraud, and he was severely punished and sentenced to twenty years in prison."
“2. According to the law, the incidental civil defendant is ordered to compensate the incidental civil plaintiff for the damage to the property of the victim Jiang Bai, totaling 3 million yuan.”
The prosecutor's voice echoed in the courtroom.
Upon hearing the prosecutor's request, Chen Xin's eyes widened, his legs softened, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Twenty years!
Three million!
Either way would kill him.
In the audience, Chen Jianghe and his wife's eyes instantly turned red and tears flowed from their eyes.
He quickly covered his mouth tightly, for fear of making any noise, affecting the order of the court and causing more serious consequences.
The judge looked at Jiang Bai and said, "Please make a statement from the victim."
Jiang Bai was a little nervous. He stood up, took a deep breath, and then said: "...the things the defendant sold in the live broadcast room were seriously inconsistent with the publicity. When I contacted him, he had a bad attitude, refused to return or exchange, and even harassed me.
abuse."
"I believe that the defendant's behavior is vile in nature and has seriously violated my personal property interests and reputation."
"I request the judge and jurors to give the defendant a harsher sentence, and I ask the defendant to fulfill his promise to compensate me for three million yuan..."
Chen Xin's face became even more ugly and his breathing became rapid.
This is forcing him to die!
After Jiang Bai finished his statement, the judge looked at Chen Xin and said, "Please give the defendant a statement."
Chen Xin couldn't wait to speak: "Your Honor, I was wronged!"
Zhang Wei:???
Brother, don't cause trouble. You agreed to plead guilty, sincerely repent, and seek leniency. What are you doing?
Zhang Wei was extremely anxious, but now was the defendant's statement stage, and he could not interrupt or speak.
I could only wink at Chen Xin.
But the latter ignored it at all.
"Judge, I admit that the things I sell in the live broadcast room are indeed inconsistent with the publicity. They are all... second-hand goods, but the ones I sell are all small things. The most expensive one does not exceed three hundred yuan!"
"As far as I know, the standard for filing a crime of fraud is that the amount reaches 3,000 yuan or more. Under normal circumstances, my behavior would not meet the standard for filing a crime of fraud."
"But that Jiang Bai, knowing that there was something wrong with what I was selling, deliberately bought something worth one million in my live broadcast room!"
"His behavior is definitely fishing. He is deliberately trying to hurt me!"
The more Chen Xin talked, the more excited he became.
Before the prosecutor read out the indictment, he kept telling himself that professional matters should be left to professionals and he should just act as he was told.
But as soon as he heard the words "twenty years" and "three million", Chen Xin was instantly confused.
He panicked.
He threw Zhang Wei's instructions behind him and just wanted to work hard to defend himself.
Chen Xin is the anchor, so his eloquence is definitely no problem.
He felt that with his sharp tongue, he would be able to convince the judge and win a chance to reduce his sentence!
Next to him, Zhang Wei twitched the corners of his mouth and shook his head slowly. He had given up completely.
He was really helpless with such a pig teammate in the stall.
Let’s not mention that the police evidence chain is sufficient. You can’t clear away the guilt by just talking. It is inconsistent to say that Chen Xin confessed to the crime during the interrogation and expressed remorse, and then started to defend himself in court.
His behavior will definitely make the judge think that he has no intention of repentance.
It is impossible to get a reduced sentence for this kind of behavior, but can only increase the punishment!
But Chen Xin didn't know this. He had lost his mind and was in chaos, just like a drowning man desperately trying to grab a life-saving straw.
Unfortunately, what he grasped was not a life-saving straw, but... a demonic obstacle that would drag him into the abyss!
"Judge, I admit that I have made false propaganda and deceived consumers. I am willing to accept punishment. I will accept any fine and I have no problem with being permanently banned from the live broadcast room."
"But I don't think my behavior constitutes a crime of fraud."
"As for Jiang Bai, his behavior is suspected of fishing. However, I will not hold him responsible, and I will refund all the money he spent in my live broadcast room..."
In the auditorium.
Li Guihua looked at her son's performance with a happy smile on her face.
Chen Jianghe also pursed his lips and nodded heavily.
very good!
That’s it!
My son did a great job.
The Tribunal is also a place for reasoning. We are not afraid of shadows. As long as we speak clearly, we will be fine.
Chen Xin talked a lot eloquently.
When we got there, we just talked back and forth about the car.
He seems to think that the more he talks, the better his chances will be.
The judge couldn't stand it anymore and banged the gavel to terminate Chen Xin's self-report and said: "The defendant does not admit the fraud. Now, please provide evidence from the prosecutor."
Next is the evidence stage.
The prosecutor had already prepared and submitted all the evidence collected by the police.
The judge and several jurors began to review the evidence and communicate in low voices.
"Gudu!"
Chen Xin suddenly felt that something was not good, and sweat poured down his forehead.
He looked at Zhang Wei for help, but Zhang Wei sighed and looked away.
Don't look at me. You're trying to kill yourself by riding on the horse. There's nothing I can do about it.
The judge looked at Chen Xin: "Defendant, if you have any doubts about the evidence, you can make your defense now."
"I……"
Chen Xin's brain shut down on the spot.
Can't say a word.
Zhang Wei sighed and stood up slowly.
Chen Xin's eyes lit up, as if he saw hope, and he looked at Zhang Wei eagerly.
Zhang Wei straightened his collar and said: "Your Excellency, fellow jurors, our defendant confessed to the crime, expressed deep regret for the damage caused to the victim, and was willing to actively pay compensation. I hope to be forgiven, and at the same time, I hope the court can
Leniency.”
"The defendant had no subjective intention to cause such huge losses to the victim. I fully believe that my client, if he knew that those thousand accounts were owned by the same person, he would definitely not sell inferior products to him..."
"..."
Zhang Wei's statement ended.
There are three main directions of attack: active confession, active compensation, and no subjective criminal intent.
If it weren't for Chen Xin's suffocating operations, with this speech, it would really be possible to obtain a considerable reduction in Chen Xin's sentence.
But it's a pity, there is no if...
The judge looked at the prosecutor: "Prosecutor, please speak."
Shen Tianci stood up and said in a sonorous tone: "Your Excellency, fellow jurors, I do not agree with the defendant's lawyer's statement that the defendant actively pleads guilty and sincerely regrets."
"You have just seen that before the trial, the defendant had an extremely bad attitude towards the victim, and even insulted, slandered, threatened and intimidated him. How can this be an attitude of active confession and sincere repentance?"
"As for what the defendant's lawyer said, the defendant had no subjective criminal intent. I don't agree with it either. The defendant..."
"..."
"...In view of the defendant's lack of repentance, I request the judge and jurors to impose a severe punishment on the defendant!"
What followed was a fierce court battle.
The two parties are Zhang Wei and Shen Tianci.
It must be said that Zhang Wei's professionalism and professionalism are still very strong, and he is often able to launch counterattacks from extremely tricky angles and win a reduced sentence for his client.
Fortunately, Shen Tianci was very well prepared. Before the trial, he had already prepared for possible points of attack by the defendant, and he was able to deal with it with ease.
More importantly, Chen Xin's magical operations made the already difficult situation even worse.
Zhang Wei also knew that there was nothing he could do to save his life, and he was just doing his best to obey fate.
After the lengthy court debate, the judge asked the defendant to make a final statement.
Chen Xin had already stopped, and with trembling lips, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "I plead guilty and ask the judge for a lighter sentence..."
Then, adjourn the court.
The judge and jury leave the courtroom.
They will discuss the final decision.
This period was also the most difficult time for Chen Xin. He lay on the defendant's seat, trembling all over and breaking into a cold sweat.
Not long after.
The judge and jury return to the courtroom.
"winter!"
The judge banged his gavel.
Everyone stand up.
The judge began to read out the verdict: "This court believes that the defendant Chen Xin has been convicted of fraud, the amount is extremely huge, and he has no intention of repenting, so he should be dealt with strictly."
"In accordance with the provisions of Article 266 of the Criminal Law, the following judgment is hereby made:"
"The defendant Chen Xin was sentenced to 15 years in prison and fined 300,000 yuan."
"The defendant Chen Xin compensated the victim Jiang Bai 2976423.50 RMB."
"The above judgment will officially take effect from the date of trial and will be implemented immediately!"
"winter!"
The gavel fell and the final word was struck.
"Plop!"
Chen Xin's legs softened and he collapsed directly to the ground.
Fifteen years!
When he comes out, he will be fifty years old...
There is also a total of 3.3 million in compensation and fines.
It’s not enough to reimburse all the proceeds from the live broadcast...I’m afraid I’ll have to sell the house and car I just bought.
"Lawyer Zhang! Aren't you known as the best criminal defense lawyer in Longcheng? Why, why is this the result?"
Chen Xin shouted at Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei packed his things expressionlessly, and Dan Mo said, "You messed up the whole thing yourself. You...why do you have the nerve to ask me?"
"If you do what I say, plead guilty actively, and have a good attitude, I am confident that your sentence will be reduced to ten to twelve years, and the fine will even be waived."
"But what did you do?"
"Forget it, I'm telling you all this for nothing."
"Oh, pig teammates, pig teammates..."
After saying that, Zhang Wei shook his head and left.
This client is the worst person he has ever dealt with!
"Oh my god, this makes me unable to live!"
Li Guihua sat on the ground and started rolling around, but was soon "invited" out by the bailiff.
The Tribunal is a solemn and sacred place, where the law is dealt with. Things cannot be changed by just throwing a tantrum.
Jiang Bai walked out of the courtroom, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt completely comfortable.
