Chapter 40 Was Riding on the Face by a Flying Dragon at the Beginning?
Zhang Wei turned to look at Jiang Bai and said in a deep voice:
"The victim, Mr. Jiang Bai, had encountered my client walking his dog without a leash twice before the incident occurred. This was the third time on the night of the incident."
"Can I assume that the victim should have foreseen the matter of 'walking the dog without a leash'? And he had foreseen the dangers that might arise from it!"
"In addition, my client walks his dog at a fixed time and route every night, which means that as long as others pay attention, it is not difficult to find the pattern."
"But the victim, Mr. Jiang, happened to have an 'accidental encounter' with my client when he was walking his dog home and on the only road he must pass."
Zhang Wei's eyes suddenly became sharp, and his tone became a little more serious: "I have reason to suspect that the victim did it deliberately. His behavior is suspected of intentional fishing."
"I request the judge and jurors to consider this possibility."
Compensation must be made.
You will definitely have to sit in jail.
But if you pay more, pay less, and spend a few years in jail, there is still room for maneuver.
What Zhang Wei has to do is to seize every breakthrough and try his best to obtain a reduced sentence for his client.
"Victim, what do you want to say about the defendant's lawyer's statement?"
The judge looked at Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai stood up with a smile, looked at Zhang Wei opposite, and said, "Lawyer Zhang, I would like to ask, which law in our country stipulates that you cannot go out at night with antique blue and white porcelain worth two million?"
Before Zhang Wei could reply, Jiang Bai looked at the judge and said, "Your Excellency, I want to make it clear first that everything I do is reasonable, legal and compliant, and there is no arrogance."
"The defendant's lawyer believes that I should have foreseen it, but I don't agree with this statement."
“The second time I encountered the defendant walking his dog without a leash, I called the police at the Changhe Street Police Station. When the police comrades arrived, they also severely criticized and educated the defendant, and the defendant also realized his
mistakes and promise to correct them."
"I fully believe that the defendant was remorseful at the time. Who would have thought that instead of repenting, she would become even worse!"
"And the video evidence I provided to the police is enough to show that on the night of the incident, I gave the defendant the necessary reminders, but unfortunately, the defendant ignored it and continued to go his own way, which caused a catastrophe."
"There is evidence for all the above."
"I do not think I need to bear any responsibility in this matter, nor do I admit the accusations made by the defendant's lawyer."
Although the two had had a similar conversation before in the Blue Water Cafe, that time was different from now. One was in private, while the other was in the courtroom, in front of the judge and jurors.
debate.
Zhang Wei knew that Jiang Bai had his own explanation.
He was just betting that Jiang Bai would get nervous and make mistakes, allowing him to catch the flaw.
But unfortunately, he failed.
Jiang Bai's performance was perfect, without any flaws.
However, Zhang Wei would not give up. He went on to say: "Mr. Jiang Bai, since you insist on claiming that everything was an accident, how do you explain the source of the live video? Since it was an accidental encounter, why did you prepare the recording equipment?
"
Jiang Bai said calmly: "The blue and white porcelain was a birthday gift I prepared for my father. I took the blue and white porcelain out that night to mail it home. The reason why I took the video was because I wanted to record the process.
I don’t think it’s a difficult thing to understand.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Wei spoke immediately.
The two sides immediately launched a fierce court debate.
Prosecutor Shen Tianci also participated.
Zhang Wei used what he had learned throughout his life, not missing any loopholes and not missing any potential points.
He started from some small aspects that are easily overlooked by others, and argued hard and made a convincing statement.
Objectively speaking.
Zhang Wei is definitely a lawyer with excellent professional qualities, quick thinking and clear logic.
Picked up professionally and he had no problems.
All he lacks is a little bit of luck...
Although Zhang Wei is very professional, Shen Tianci is not bad either. All kinds of dialectics and rebuttals are reasonable and reasonable, and his words are sonorous and powerful.
In contrast, Jiang Bai's sense of presence is the weakest.
After all, this is not his specialty.
The main force on the prosecution side is still Shen Tianci.
Both sides insist on their own opinions and argue vigorously based on their reasons.
A fierce court debate took place.
More than half an hour later.
"winter!"
The judge banged his gavel and said, "The court will be temporarily adjourned for half an hour."
Then he and the jurors left.
Wei Donghua quickly asked Zhang Wei: "Lawyer Zhang, how are you? Are you sure you can help me reduce my sentence?"
Zhang Wei smiled slightly and said: "Ms. Wei, don't worry, as long as you listen to my instructions, I am sure to reduce your sentence to less than ten years."
Wei Donghua:┌(.Д.)┐
ten years……
When she comes out ten years later, she will already be an old woman.
But compared to thirteen years, ten years is much better.
…
Half an hour flew by.
"winter!"
As the gavel fell, the court reopened.
The judge said: "Now we will continue the court debate and invite the defendant's lawyer to speak."
Zhang Wei immediately stood up and said: "Your Excellency, fellow jurors, our client has confessed to the crime of intentional destruction of property and is willing to actively plead guilty."
Wei Donghua was stunned.
Why did you surrender so suddenly?
"open……"
Wei Donghua opened her mouth and wanted to stop Zhang Wei.
But she immediately thought of Zhang Wei's warning to her during the recess.
He quickly covered his mouth.
But there was still a deep uneasiness in his eyes.
Zhang Wei changed the topic and continued: "However, in terms of the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble and the crime of infringing on citizens' personal information, our client is not the principal culprit!"
"She was instigated and induced by others, and she made the wrong decision due to a moment of negligence."
"In both incidents, Ms. Ma Li was the original initiator. Ms. Jiao Shengmei and my client were all induced by her to commit the subsequent series of illegal and criminal acts."
"Article 27 of the Criminal Law stipulates that a person who plays a secondary or auxiliary role in a joint crime is an accessory."
Zhang Wei raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile,
"Obviously, my client meets the definition of an accessory and should be deemed an accessory."
"Accomplices should be given lighter punishments, reduced punishments or exempted from punishments."
Zhang Wei's voice resounded throughout the trial court.
Although he did not prevail in the defense of the crime of intentional destruction of property.
But he didn't give up.
Instead, he found another way and moved to another battlefield.
The main culprit of the crime of provocation and infringement of citizens' personal information was placed on Ma Li.
After all, Wei Donghua is his client.
As for Ma Li and Jiao Shengmei, they had a complete falling out with Wei Donghua, so it was naturally impossible for them to hire the same defense lawyer as her.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Wei was able to implement this method of diverting firepower and diverting disaster to the east.
The "should" mentioned in legal provisions is not "should" in the literal sense, but must, must, and there is no room for maneuver or choice.
The criminal law stipulates that an accomplice must be given a lighter punishment, be given a reduced punishment, or be exempted from punishment. The actual meaning is that an accomplice must be given a lighter punishment, be given a reduced punishment, or be exempted from punishment!
This explanation was beyond everyone's expectation.
Only then did Jiang Bai truly see Zhang Wei's skill.
Generally speaking, criminal prosecutions initiated by the procuratorate are basically not subject to overturning.
After all, these cases have gone through detailed investigations by the public security organs. It can be said that the facts are clear and the evidence is sufficient. It is a certainty.
However, excellent criminal defense lawyers can often find some small breakthroughs and use this as a position to open up a battlefield to defend the client and strive for a reduced sentence.
All of this was proposed by Ma Li and instigated by Jiao Shengmei!
I was bewitched by them.
I am an accessory!
"Your Honor!"
At this moment, Shen Tianci spoke: "The defendant's lawyer's claim has already involved people outside the court. I request that the other two parties be summoned to court."
In today's prosecution, in addition to Wei Donghua, the defendants also include Ma Li and Jiao Shengmei.
However, the latter two did not go to court directly.
Zhang Wei's claim involves Ma Li and Jiao Shengmei. Naturally, they should appear in court.
"agree."
The judge nodded.
Subsequently, the bailiff brought Ma Li and Jiao Shengmei to the court as defendant No. 2 and defendant No. 3 respectively.
Also appearing in court at the same time was a middle-aged man who was slightly overweight and had a strong man's hairstyle.
That was Chen Mengzhe, the defense lawyer for Ma and Jiao.
After Chen Mengzhe appeared in court, he kept his brows furrowed and always felt an ominous premonition, and it was very strong.
Normally, they should not be summoned to appear in court at this time.
Something's wrong...
Something weird!
"winter!"
The judge banged the gavel and said: "Defendant No. 2, now defendant No. 1's lawyer claims that you are the principal culprit in the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble and infringing on citizens' personal information. Do you have any objection to this?"
What?
Ma Li was stunned, her ignorant little eyes blinking.
She didn't understand what the judge meant at all.
Chen Mengzhe's face became extremely ugly.
Damn it, you were ridden in the face by a flying dragon right after the game started?
