Chapter 341 Zhang Wei: I am familiar with this plot
It was around 9:40.
Longcheng, Binjiang District Intermediate People's Court.
Criminal Trial Division.
Jiang Bai put his hands in his pockets, walked up to the audience seat and found a seat to sit down.
Luo Dazhang took Zheng Aixia to the plaintiff's seat.
This was the first time Zheng Aixia went to court. She was inevitably nervous and seemed a little nervous when she sat in the plaintiff's seat.
On the one hand, there is a deep sense of awe for the lawsuit.
On the other hand, it comes from the sadness that is about to go to court with your children.
Seeing this, Luo Dazhao comforted him: "Old Mrs. Zheng, don't be nervous."
"The court will be held later. You just need to make statements as I told you. I will complete all other speeches."
"No matter what the defendant's attitude is, no matter what they say, you don't have to pay attention to it, leave it to me."
"Okay, OK Lawyer Luo."
Zheng Aixia nodded slowly, and her nervousness sootheed.
About ten minutes passed again.
With a "creak", the left front door of the court opened, and the three defendants and defense lawyers walked in one after another.
The ones who walked in the front were Liu Zhihua and his defense lawyer Zhang Wei.
Liu Ailing and Liu Zhigang and their lawyers followed closely behind.
All three defendants glanced coldly at Zheng Aixia who was sitting in the plaintiff's seat. There was no emotion in her eyes, but only indifference.
That look seemed to be looking at the enemy.
Feeling their knife-like gaze, Zheng Aixia's body trembled and her eyes suddenly turned red.
How could she feel good when she went to court with her own child?
But now it seems that the three children not only did not repent at all, but were full of hatred for her.
Jiang Bai saw the performance of the three defendants, and his eyes suddenly became a little cold.
Luo Dazhang's good intentions were in vain.
These three people are really stubborn and have no regrets!
Perhaps, only when the cold and ruthless verdict hits on their heads will they truly wake up.
dock.
Liu Zhihua sat on a hard chair, feeling the atmosphere in the courtroom, and couldn't help but become nervous.
He looked at the lawyer Zhang Wei next to him, swallowed his saliva, and asked carefully: "Lawyer Zhang, please give me a clear idea. How confident are you to this case?"
Zhang Wei said in a deep voice: "As I said, your punishment will be much lessened. Remember, don't act randomly and don't be smart. If you say the wrong thing, I really can't help you."
"Ah? Is it just 'reducing a lot'? This..." Liu Zhihua frowned immediately.
A reduction in sentence means that the crime is convicted, but the punishment is reduced.
But Liu Zhihua's ideal result is innocence.
Such a result was obviously unacceptable to him.
Zhang Wei glanced at Liu Zhihua and said, "I told you a long time ago that this case is not good for you when it is in court, so he advised you to try to mediate with the plaintiff. As long as the plaintiff is willing to withdraw the lawsuit, no problem will be gone?
”
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhihua's face became a little ugly.
He also wanted his mother to withdraw the lawsuit, but he did not want to take on the responsibility of supporting his mother, which created an unsolvable situation.
Even now, Liu Zhihua still refuses to give in.
Supporting your mother is easy to say, but not easy to do.
Once you have it, there may be endless troubles in the future.
"Mr. Liu, in fact, criminal private prosecution can be mediated before the judge pronounces the verdict."
Zhang Wei continued: "If you sincerely apologize to your mother now and promise to give her a care for her in the future, I believe she will forgive you."
Obviously, mediation is the best result for Liu Zhihua.
After all, there is no need to bear criminal responsibility.
But he didn't think so.
"I'm not the only son. Although I'm the boss, it's impossible for me to raise her alone, right? This matter will definitely not work!"
Liu Zhihua directly refused.
He and his younger brothers and sisters did not communicate in private.
But unfortunately, no consensus was reached.
Liu Ailing thinks she is her daughter and is still divorced now, so she is only willing to bear 10% of the responsibility, and the remaining 90% will be allocated by her two sons.
Liu Zhigang said that he is the youngest child in the family, and no matter what, he should not let the youngest take the lead. He is only willing to bear 10% of the responsibility, and the remaining 90% will be discussed by his elder brother and sister.
Liu Zhihua also said that although he is the eldest in the family, he cannot take more responsibility for supporting his mother. Besides, his grandson is born soon, and the focus will be on his grandson. How can he have time and energy to take care of his mother?
?
He proposed that he only paid for the task of taking care of his mother, and asked Liu Zhigang and Liu Ailing to share the responsibility.
All three of them have their own little thoughts.
After arguing, we can never reach a consensus.
In this way, mediation will naturally become empty talk.
To put it bluntly, we are still shirking each other's responsibility and playing against each other.
If you want to mediate but don’t want to take responsibility, how can you do such a good thing?
Seeing Liu Zhihua's refusal, Zhang Wei sighed and said nothing more.
beside.
Liu Zhigang also looked at the lawyer beside him nervously.
The lawyer smiled slightly, looking a little unfathomable, and said slowly: "Mr. Liu, don't worry, I'm still confident in your case."
Obviously, this is definitely a cliché and sleek attorney.
Don't ask, asking is "somewhat sure".
Eighty-ninety percent can be some confidence, and 10-twenty percent can be some confidence.
No matter whether the lawsuit is lost or the winner is explained.
But Liu Zhigang obviously didn't know the twists and turns in it. Seeing that the lawyer was so confident, he had nothing to worry about, so he immediately relaxed his mind.
"Okay, okay, just be sure, you must not affect my son's civil service exam." Liu Zhigang nodded repeatedly.
The lawyer's face was a little unnatural and said, "Actually... Mr. Liu, as the saying goes, 360 professions, and every profession is the top scorer. He doesn't have to take the civil service exam. In today's society, there are many employment opportunities."
Liu Zhigang shook his head and said, "No job is better than a job."
It’s really good to be able to successfully get ashore, but... your son probably has no chance.
The lawyer looked at Liu Zhigang deeply and said nothing.
at the same time.
Liu Ailing also spoke to her lawyer: "Lawyer Wang, my bottom line is to pay some money, and the proportion cannot exceed 20%. After all, I am a daughter, and those two sons are still there, so it is not my turn to come.
Take the big shot.”
Lawyer Wang smiled and said, "Ms. Liu, don't worry, I have done my homework in this case and prepared very well."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ailing nodded slowly and felt relieved.
Little do you know...
Doing enough homework and preparing well does not mean you can win the lawsuit, nor does it mean you can exempt criminal liability!
Obviously, Liu Ailing has no experience in dealing with lawyers, so naturally she can't hear what he said implies.
At this moment, the judge walked in.
He is still Jiang Bai's old acquaintance, the judge of Xingyi Court, and Chen Zhonghan.
"Dong--"
Chen Zhonghan beat the gavel and spoke in a deep voice:
"Today, in accordance with Article 261 of the Criminal Law, the Criminal Trial Division of the Binjiang Intermediate People's Court of Longcheng Binjiang District publicly tried the case of the defendants Liu Zhihua, Liu Zhigang and Liu Ailing abandoning their old mother in accordance with the law."
"I, Chen Zhonghan, serve as the presiding judge, and a collegial panel will be formed in accordance with the law."
"Now, the court is officially opened!"
"Please read out the complaint and state the cause of the case!"
After the words came, Luo Dajiu stood up holding the complaint in both hands and began to read:
"Ms. Zheng Aixia, our party, has two sons and one daughter, but since eight years ago, they have refused to fulfill the obligation of supporting our party..."
Luo Dazhang's voice is thick and loud, with clear and resounding words.
Yanci accused Liu Zhihua and the other two of them of their actions over the past eight years.
Don't give money, don't visit, have a bad attitude...
It's like a completely unrelated stranger, no, it's not as good as a stranger.
After all, it is impossible to treat strangers so badly.
"This, isn't this a white-eyed wolf?"
"It's just a beast! If my son dares to treat me like this, I'll break his leg!"
"Did those three people look like humans and their consciences be eaten by dogs? How could they be so cruel and ignore the old mother who gave birth to them and raised them?"
“…”
In the auditorium, many people who came to attend the trial were very angry.
They all accused the three defendants.
This kind of unfilial behavior will be despised by people no matter what era or wherever it is!
Filial piety comes first in all virtues.
If a person cannot even do basic "filial piety", then he is simply unworthy of being a human being.
The three defendants naturally heard the accusations, and their faces flushed and their fists clenched.
"Don't talk nonsense, the judge will control the scene."
Zhang Wei quickly reminded and warned his client, for fear that he would do anything extreme.
The same is true for the other two lawyers.
really.
"Dong--"
Chen Zhonghan rang the gavel and said, "Please pay attention to abiding by the court order. Plaintiff, you continue to read the complaint."
"... The defendant failed to fulfill his obligations and responsibilities to support his mother for eight years, and it caused our parties to suffer from moderate depression, which was in line with the constituent elements of the crime of abandonment stipulated in Article 261 of the Criminal Law."
"Request the court to sentence the three defendants to convict of abandonment and sentence to three years in prison..."
Finally, Luo Dajue stated the lawsuit.
In addition to demanding conviction, the more important thing is to assume the obligation of support.
Given that Zheng Aixia's relationship with her three children has completely deteriorated and the latter's character is not enough to be believed, the complaint clearly states that Zheng Aixia will be admitted to a nursing home in the future and all costs will be borne by the three children.
They also need to give Zheng Aixia a certain amount of alimony every month.
In addition, if Zheng Aixia is sick or injured, her three children must visit, take care of and be responsible for medical expenses.
These are all rigid requirements and are clearly written in the complaint.
If you win the case, it is likely to be written specifically in the judgment and have legal effect, even if Liu Zhihua and the others want to bear it, they will not be able to bear it.
After Luo Dajing read out the complaint, Chen Zhonghan nodded slowly, looked at the defendant's seat, and asked: "Defendant, what the plaintiff's lawyer said just now is consistent with the copy of the lawsuit you received?"
"yes."
“Consistent.”
The three people answered.
Chen Zhonghan said again: "Do you have any objections to this? Please speak in turn."
Liu Zhihua and the other two looked at me, I looked at you.
It seems that no one wants to be this pioneer.
In the end, Liu Ailing took the lead in speaking: "I admit that I didn't do well enough to support my mother and didn't care about her properly, but I definitely don't admit that I had committed the crime of abandonment!"
"I was divorced more than ten years ago. I am a woman who is helpless here. I have worked hard to pull my daughter up. Who can understand the pain in my heart?"
"I really don't want to take care of my mother, I'm really limited in energy..."
Next to him, Liu Ailing's lawyer frowned.
Why don’t this girl say it according to the statement she gave her?
The lawyer prepared a statement for Liu Ailing. The basic strategy is to confess guilt and then sell misery. On the one hand, it won the sympathy of the collegial panel, and on the other hand, it will also be helpful to her when she finally allocates responsibility.
Liu Ailing is so good. She did it because she did it, but she did not plead guilty!
Instead, he insisted that he did not abandon his behavior.
This trick caught the lawyer off guard.
This was originally a defense of a minor crime, but she made it a defense of innocence by herself.
Damn!
The lawyer was cursing his mother crazy.
But Liu Ailing feels good about herself.
Because the lawyer said that he had made very sufficient preparations and must be sure of the lawsuit. Since that is the case, why should he plead guilty?
After Liu Ailing finished speaking, Liu Zhigang couldn't wait to get up and said, "Judge, I didn't deliberately abandon my mother."
"In recent years, my son is a critical period when he goes to junior high school and high school. On the one hand, I have to get up early and work late to earn money to support my son's schooling, and on the other hand, I have to always care about my son's study and life. I am really busy."
"I admit that it was because I was too busy and I was neglecting my mother."
"But I really can't do it. I'm just too willing but not enough."
"And I am the youngest in the family, and there is also an older brother and an older sister on it. They did nothing. Why is my youngest one who is not good at making a move..."
Liu Zhigang's lawyer was gloating just now, but his client also made such a move.
Liu Zhigang, a very clever man, also made his own decision to modify the statement prepared by the lawyer for him.
Refused to plead guilty!
Seeing this, Zhang Wei's heart thumped, he quickly looked at Liu Zhihua and gave him a wink.
This situation is actually beneficial to Liu Zhihua.
There are three defendants in the same case, and two of them refuse to plead guilty, and their attitude is not good. As long as Liu Zhihua voluntarily pleads guilty according to Zhang Wei's instructions and apologizes sincerely, he will definitely be treated leniently accordingly.
However……
Liu Zhihua didn't understand these things, but instead had a different idea.
At first, he was indeed prepared to make statements strictly according to Zhang Wei's instructions, but Liu Ailing and Liu Zhigang's performance was shaken.
Those two people did not plead guilty. If they plead guilty, wouldn’t they let them spill all the dirty water on them at will?
This is absolutely not possible!
Thinking of this, Liu Zhihua swallowed his saliva and said, "Judge, I am innocent too!"
"Actually, I have always wanted to support my mother and I have always wanted to take her home to live."
"Can……"
"We couple lived with our son and daughter-in-law. There was no spare room at home and we didn't have the conditions to take our mother over."
"I am a taxi driver. I work until late every day, and I don't have weekends. I don't have time to see my mother..."
Well, Liu Zhihua was successfully led to the wrong way.
He actually refused to plead guilty.
Zhang Wei covered his forehead with black lines.
The good situation... was actually ruined like this.
Pig teammates, purebred pig teammates!
Even Zhang Wei, who was "experienced", couldn't help but feel annoyed at this moment.
Originally, when judges were sentenced to such cases, they would usually be more serious when they were sentenced. Now, the three defendants not only did not have any intention of repentance, but were still quibbling and shirking each other.
It can be imagined that the judge's impression of them was extremely poor.
The prospects for this trial are worrying.
Above the platform.
Chen Zhonghan's face had turned dark.
When he knew about the general situation of this case, he was already very angry. Unexpectedly, the performance of these three unfilial children in court was even more annoying.
Not only did he not admit his guilt and mistakes, he also gave various excuses.
Being stubborn is beyond help!
In the audience seat, everyone's blood pressure increased.
"What three beasts are you, you can say such words! I'm so angry!"
"They also have children and descendants. If they treat their mothers like this, aren't they afraid that their children will do the same to them in the future?"
"It's good that they can tell these high-sounding excuses, and they are not ashamed!"
"This kind of thing that is worse than a beast should be judged, and it is too unreasonable."
“…”
It is obvious that the remarks of the three defendants have already aroused public anger.
"Dong--"
Chen Zhonghan beat the gavel and spoke in a deep voice: "Please be careful to abide by court discipline and keep quiet."
"Given that the three defendants did not admit to the abandonment and refused to plead guilty, they will enter the court investigation stage, conducting cross-examination on whether the crime is established and the court debate."
