Jiang Bai had just finished lunch when he received a call from Meng Haisheng.
"You have received a court summons, right? The court date is in three days?"
"Don't be nervous. You are appearing in court as incidental civil plaintiffs. You basically don't have to do anything. Just leave everything to the prosecutor."
"Don't worry. After going to court, talk less and listen more. The prosecutor will solve everything and will definitely make the other party accept legal sanctions and compensate you for your losses."
"Well, okay, you're welcome, bye."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Bai let out a long breath and sat back on the sofa.
A smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
Although he is not a selfless and good person who enjoys helping others, the feeling of helping people solve problems and receiving a lot of gratitude is still quite good.
Of course, being able to make those evildoers accept the punishment of the law also brought Jiang Bai a lot of satisfaction.
Once upon a time, he was also an angry young man who vented his emotions on the Internet about some unfair things.
But at best it's just incompetent rage and can't change anything at all.
I believe many people have had similar feelings.
Seeing some of the infuriating emotions exposed in the news, I wish I could be right there and give those scum a lesson.
Just like an incident that happened not long ago, it was said that a man was sick and couldn't buy medicine. After that, a little girl in the same community said that he could come to my house and I would give you some medicine.
This is a good thing to do to help others, right?
As a result, the man was so outrageous. I don’t know if he took the wrong medicine or had something wrong in his brain. He got impatient after only a few minutes of waiting. He slammed the door hard and yelled.
He even punched the little girl and cursed her, "Why don't you die?"
Who wouldn't want to knock that man to the ground and beat him up after reading this kind of news?
But it's a pity that I can only think about it in my heart, and at most I can post some comments online to express my anger.
But if someone can really show up at the scene, slap the man in the face with a big dick, hook his head and give him two electric cannons, would you like it?
Jiang Bai almost felt like this at the moment.
The kind of person who licks a green lotus to eat for free, and spits in other people's food after being rejected, can he personally take him to the police station, take him to court and then send him to jail, how wonderful it is, right?
Not to mention Meng Bo's relationship, even if this happened to strangers who had no contact with each other, Jiang Bai would still want to get involved.
Because the criminal facts of this case were clear and the evidence was indeed sufficient, the police station quickly completed the investigation and handed it over to the procuratorate. After a review, the procuratorate directly initiated a public prosecution.
The whole process is extremely fast.
Next, all you have to do is wait for the court hearing.
Three days flew by.
The court day has arrived.
"Ms. Wang, after the court session, be sure to remember what I told you. You insisted that it was just out of temporary anger that you wanted to teach the other party a lesson, and you did not intentionally spread the cold."
"And you didn't know you had a cold at the time. You only found out about it after the police tested it."
In the first criminal trial court, in the dock.
Zhang Wei and Wang Haiyan, who was sitting next to him, whispered some instructions.
"Also, when it's your turn to make a statement, just read the statement I prepared for you in front of the court. Don't use it yourself. If you say the wrong thing, you will lose everything."
"Oh, by the way, when you apologize in court, you must be sincere and bow. No matter what the other party says, you must not fall out."
"You can't make loud noises, especially you can't insult judges and adjudicators..."
Although in recent times, Zhang Wei has been quite lucky and has rarely been stabbed in the back by the person involved.
But some things are really impossible to guard against.
Who knows which case parties will suddenly surprise (scare) you?
Therefore, Zhang Wei has developed a good habit. Before the trial, he will give his client repeated instructions and various warnings.
Reduce the possibility of accidents as much as possible.
Wang Haiyan was a little impatient.
She had heard this content from Zhang Wei at least three or four times, and the meaning was quite the same. She said it over and over again. Is it finished?
"Okay, I get it, Lawyer Zhang. You've said it eight hundred times, and it makes my ears go numb."
Wang Haiyan rolled her eyes, curled her lips and muttered.
Zhang Wei sighed secretly.
Talking too much brings tears to my eyes.
How could he be so sensitive if he hadn't been injured all over?
"Okay, okay, I'll ask one more question at the end. Think about it carefully and make sure there's nothing you forgot to tell me?"
Zhang Wei asked seriously.
This can be regarded as the final step to check and fill in the gaps.
Wang Haiyan waved her hands without thinking: "No, no, I've told you everything."
"OK."
Zhang Wei nodded, said nothing more, closed his eyes and rested his head, waiting for the court to begin.
He is quite confident about this case.
Although he did not receive a mediation letter, he still complied with various legal and discretionary circumstances of commutation, and no extraordinary performance was required. As long as he could perform normally, it would not be difficult to commute his sentence.
Soon, another defendant in the case, Gu Xifeng, accompanied by lawyer Lu Wentao, walked into the trial court and sat down at the defendant No. 2 seat.
The two defendants were once considered "good sisters," but they have not communicated directly since the incident.
At first, Wang Haiyan wanted to talk to Gu Xifeng, but the latter always felt in her heart that she had been tricked into filing a lawsuit or a criminal case. She was full of resentment, so how could she give her a good look?
Seeing this situation, Wang Haiyan naturally would not continue to use her hot face to stick to her cold ass.
The two of them maintained zero communication.
When they met in the courtroom at this moment, they didn't even look at each other, as if they didn't know each other at all.
Almost at the same time, prosecutor Shen Tianci, assistant prosecutor and Meng Haisheng and his wife sat down opposite.
Zhang Wei and Shen Tianci are also old acquaintances. They have fought dozens of times in court, and they nod to each other as a greeting.
In the auditorium.
Wang Haiyan's son and daughter-in-law, Gu Xifeng's wife and a pair of children were all present. The former was on the left and the latter on the right. They were clearly separated and there was no communication between them.
Jiang Bai and Meng Bo sat in the middle position.
Of course, besides them, there were many people who came to observe the trial.
"Mr. Jiang, do you think this lawsuit can be won?" Meng Bo asked in a low voice.
Jiang Bai smiled faintly and said, "Remove the word '?' and you can win this lawsuit."
Hearing this, Meng Bo breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he doesn't know much about legal aspects, Jiang Bai definitely understands it. If he says he can win, there must be no surprise.
I just don’t know how many years I will be sentenced to those two days in the end.
Just as Meng Bo was about to ask, the judge walked in.
The auspicious time has arrived and the court is in session!
Chen Zhonghan sat high on the throne and spoke slowly, his voice loud and clear, resounding throughout the courtroom.
"Today, in accordance with the provisions of Article 114 of the Criminal Law, the Criminal Trial Division 1 of the Intermediate People's Court of Binjiang District, Longcheng held a public hearing on the poisoning case of defendants Wang Haiyan and Gu Xifeng in accordance with the law."
"I, Chen Zhonghan, will serve as the presiding judge and form a collegial panel in accordance with the law."
"Now, the court officially opens!"
"Please ask the prosecutor to read out the indictment and state the cause of the case!"
After the words fell, Shen Tianci stood up and began to read.
In the indictment, the details of the case are described in detail.
Wang Haiyan and Gu Xifeng deliberately pretended to be confused and wanted to go to the "Haisheng Breakfast Shop" to enjoy the free breakfast. When they were clearly informed that they did not meet the welfare requirements, instead of leaving, they intensified their efforts. First, they forced themselves to eat and get cards for several days. , and later became so angry that he spat into other people’s food!
When their evil deeds were read out by the prosecutor in court, there were whispers in the auditorium.
Many people cast contemptuous glances at the defendant's seat.
How thick-skinned do you have to be to do something like this?
Sanitation workers are all poor people from poor families - otherwise, who would have nothing to do and get up early and work late at night, going out in the wind and rain to do such hard work?
Is the bed not warm or the sofa uncomfortable?
Meng Haisheng and his wife sympathized with the sanitation workers, so they specially prepared a free love breakfast for them.
As for Wang Haiyan and Wang Haiyan, not to mention how rich their family is, at least they don't need to work hard to make money at their age, but they are so shameless that they come here to eat for free.
All I can say is that if you are shameless, you are invincible!
Listening to the comments of the people nearby, the expressions on the faces of He Bin, Song Guoan and other defendant's family members were as ugly as those who had eaten blowflies flying freely in the toilet.
I wanted to retort, but I opened my mouth but nothing came out.
After all, what Wang Haiyan and the two did was so shameless that they were even embarrassed to reveal the identity of their family members.
“This case was investigated and concluded by Changhe Street Police Station in Binjiang District and transferred to this court for review and prosecution.”
"This court believes that his behavior violated the provisions of Article 114 of the Criminal Law and constituted the crime of releasing dangerous substances. We are now filing a public prosecution in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law."
"The litigation claims are as follows:"
"1. The criminal defendant Wang Haiyan was sentenced to three years in prison in accordance with the law and sentenced to three years in prison. The criminal defendant Gu Haiyan was sentenced to three years in prison in accordance with the law."
"Second, the incidental civil defendant is ordered according to law to compensate the incidental civil plaintiff for the property damage caused to the victims Meng Haisheng and Qin Xianglan, as well as lost wages, etc., totaling 800 yuan, and the two defendants each bear 50%!"
After Shen Tianci finished speaking about the lawsuit, he slowly sat down.
The civil compensation in this case is actually not much.
After all, what was directly affected by Wang Haiyan and the two of them and could not be sold were only some steamed buns, tea eggs, Wahaha and other low-priced foods, which were only worth one or two hundred when the dozen was full. However, because of the two people's troubles, the business of the day was at a loss. It was seriously affected, so the civil compensation was increased to 800 yuan.
But even 800 yuan is actually nothing. If the two defendants share one point, each person will only be compensated 400 yuan.
superficial.
What really makes them panic and concerned is criminal liability.
Three years in prison!
Just three years may not seem like much, but for the parties involved, these three years are quite a lot.
After the prosecutor sat down, Chen Zhonghan asked the two defendants whether the content of the indictment they just heard was consistent with the copy of the indictment they received.
Both agreed.
"What do you have to say about this?" Chen Zhonghan then asked.
Both Wang Haiyan and Gu Xifeng were quite obedient. They strictly followed the lawyer's instructions and apologized very sincerely and admitted their mistakes and accepted punishment.
No matter what they think in their hearts, at least they look sincere on the surface.
Next, we enter the most critical stage of the trial - court investigation!
Zhang Wei took the lead in defending his client.
"Our client has no medical foundation and cannot confirm the fact that he has the flu without seeing a doctor. I believe everyone has similar feelings. When the weather changes or the seasons change, a cough is indeed likely to occur.
Or a runny nose, but having these symptoms does not mean you have a cold."
"Therefore, our client's so-called poisoning behavior was not subjectively malicious and was a crime of negligence."
"Other than that, our client's behavior did not cause serious impact..."
"Therefore, I implore the presiding judge and all judges to reduce the penalty to our client as appropriate."
After saying this, Zhang Wei sat down.
The mitigating circumstances he proposed are basically tenable and difficult for the prosecutor to refute.
As long as the other defender doesn't hold back or cause trouble, both defendants can get a reduced sentence.
It is possible to try to get a sentence of three with a suspended sentence of five, or even with a suspended sentence of four.
After Zhang Wei finished speaking, Lu Wentao stood up and began to defend himself.
His defense strategy is very similar to Zhang Wei.
The mitigating circumstances advocated are basically the same, such as lack of subjective malice, negligent crime, admission of guilt and acceptance of punishment, etc.
Zhang Wei nodded secretly.
This rhythm is not bad, and the two defenders are on the same side.
But at this moment, Lu Wentao suddenly proposed another plot!
"Our client had no such idea originally. The reason why he did this was completely instigated and instigated by defendant No. 1 Wang Haiyan!"
"Defendant No. 1 said that the owner of the breakfast shop was shameless. If this was the case, then they would not be merciful. He would spit on the food when they returned and refused to feed them. The owner would not be able to make any money!"
"Our client did not want to do this at first, but in her daily relationship with defendant No. 1, she is in a relatively weak position and does not dare to be disobedient..."
"Our client is an accessory in this criminal activity, and we request the collegial panel to reduce the punishment as appropriate!"
Lu Wentao's last words really caught Zhang Wei off guard.
He was completely unprepared for this, and his expression suddenly changed.
Inexplicably, my client became the main culprit?
Zhang Wei's first reaction was that something was wrong. It was probably Gu Xifeng's excuse to get away with it. After all, Wang Haiyan did not disclose this to him at all.
But just when he was about to question and refute, he saw Wang Haiyan beside him slamming the table and shouting at Gu Xifeng with excitement: "Gu Xifeng, if you keep talking nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart! Why do you throw all the responsibility on me?
On your body? Oh, you are so obedient. If I ask you to eat shit, will you go? If I ask you to jump into a river, will you jump? What a joke. I didn’t put a knife on your neck and force you. After all, it’s not all you.
Your own choice?”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei suddenly felt bad.
Wang Haiyan is really the main culprit!
And more importantly, her statement was tantamount to exposing herself.
The other party may not necessarily have tangible evidence. After all, there is basically no evidence for the private conversation between the two, and the collegial panel will probably not accept it.
Can……
Wang Haiyan, this idiot, actually jumped out and admitted it himself!
