Ma Li was so stupid that she didn't realize the seriousness of the situation. She looked so confused that she was almost in trouble.
But Chen Mengzhe couldn't sit still.
This is to put his client on the fire!
Chen Mengzhe immediately said: "Your Honor, I do not agree with this statement!"
“The initial cause of this incident was that defendant No. 1 walked his dog without a leash and broke the victim’s antique blue and white porcelain!”
"My client was just unhappy with what happened to his friend, so he made slightly inappropriate remarks in the group."
"I admit that my client's remarks did play a certain guiding role, but defendant No. 1 is an adult with sound mind and independent criminal responsibility. She should know the consequences of doing so."
"But she did it anyway."
"Then she should bear responsibility for this."
Chen Mengzhe quickly clarified his thoughts, organized his language, and began to refute Zhang Wei's claims:
"And in the subsequent events, defendant No. 1 also played a leading role."
"That article was produced based on the description of defendant No. 1. The threatening phone call was made by defendant No. 1. The victim's identity information and phone number were also released by defendant No. 1."
"And my client, just as the editor of the article and the uploader of one of the platforms, how can he become the main culprit!"
Although he was caught off guard, Chen Mengzhe reacted quickly.
His counterattack was extremely sharp.
Zhang Wei immediately retorted: "Although this matter was caused by my client, my client only complained in the group. I fully believe that my client had no intention of revenge or crime at that time."
"Without the proposal of defendant No. 2 and the instigation of defendant No. 3, my client would never have made any subsequent moves."
"Therefore, I think defendant No. 2 played a decisive role in this incident and should be identified as the principal culprit!"
"Furthermore, during the police investigation stage, my client actively cooperated and performed meritorious service. I hope that the judge and the jurors will fully consider this and give my client a lighter sentence."
At this point, Ma Li and Jiao Shengmei finally came to their senses.
This step on the horse is to put the main responsibility for the crime on them!
"Wei Donghua! Are you still a human being when you ride a horse? We have been good sisters for more than ten years, and you actually cheated us like this! Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
"Wei Donghua, Wei Donghua, I am so blind that I would be friends with you! Bah! You are really not a thing!"
"It was you who complained to us at the beginning, and we were helping you to give you advice. Oh, and then you turned around and put the responsibility on us? I asked you to eat shit, will you go? I asked you to jump off the building
, are you going? It’s outrageous to really step on a horse!”
"Grass is a plant!"
"..."
The two yelled at Wei Donghua.
They were inexplicably followed by eating pot roast and were detained. They were already full of resentment. But now, Wei Donghua is so crazy that he puts the main responsibility on them!
Which one is intolerable? I can't tolerate it, but my aunt can't tolerate it either!
Originally, Wei Donghua was still a little guilty and she lowered her head and did not dare to face the two of them.
But when she thought about the difference between a thirteen-year sentence and a ten-year sentence, she immediately raised her head and said in a loud voice: "Have you two finished talking? Who was the first to propose writing a short essay?"
"Ma Li, is that you?"
"Who wrote that short essay? Is it you too!?"
"You said, if you are not the main culprit, who is?"
"And you, Jiao Shengmei, you are not unjust, fanning the wind to light the fire, adding fuel to the fire, I am talking about you!"
"If it weren't for you two, how could I have ended up like this? Do you know how many years they are going to sentence me? Thirteen years, thirteen years!!"
"In these thirteen years, you two will have to split at least half of it!"
After hearing what Wei Donghua said, Ma Li and Jiao Shengmei almost exploded with anger.
They help their friends with advice, but also make mistakes?
"You piece of shit, you should be in jail for the rest of your life!"
"It's a waste of air when alive, a waste of land when dead, and it corrupts the social atmosphere! No wonder you always call your dog your son, it turns out you are a dog too!"
"..."
Naturally, Ma Li and Jiao Shengmei are not vegetarians, so they started spraying directly.
Three women in one drama.
What's more, they are three female heroes with strong fighting ability.
This intense scene left the two eloquent lawyers speechless.
"winter!"
The judge banged his gavel heavily and frowned:
"quiet!"
"Attention to court order!"
"The defendant should control his emotions, and the defendant's lawyer will speak."
The judge is still very dignified.
After giving the order, the three people immediately shrank their necks and did not dare to speak.
It turned into a confrontation of eyes.
Zhang Wei continued to attack, trying his best to prove that Ma Li was the principal culprit and Wei Donghua was the accessory.
Chen Mengzhe, on the other hand, argued hard and argued against Zhang Wei's views from various aspects, ranging from criminal facts to judicial interpretations.
The confrontation between the two sides was extremely fierce.
Chen Mengzhe is also a very good lawyer. Although he was caught off guard at first and was slightly panicked, he quickly stabilized the situation and regained his rhythm.
In the confrontation with Zhang Wei, he did not fall behind at all.
"Your Honor, fellow jurors, I have the chat records of the three defendants here!"
Chen Mengzhe held up a piece of evidence and said: "It can be seen from the chat records that defendant No. 1 made false descriptions in the group and deliberately disrupted the judgment of the facts by my two clients, which led to the so-called 'venting anger'
said."
"My two clients were completely deceived by defendant No. 1. I have reason to suspect that defendant No. 1 was completely premeditated!"
“She deliberately tampered with the facts to mislead my client, which led to my client’s misunderstanding of the facts, and that’s when what happened next happened.”
"Therefore, I still maintain that defendant No. 1 is the main culprit!"
Chen Mengzhe's counterattack was extremely powerful.
What Wei Donghua said in the group completely distorted the facts and was suspected of deliberately misleading others.
Because of this, Ma Li and Jiao Shengmei had a misunderstanding, and then they "advised" Wei Donghua.
As soon as Chen Mengzhe finished speaking, Zhang Wei immediately stood up and said: "The three defendants are old friends who have known each other for more than ten years and are very familiar with each other. I believe defendant No. 2 also knows very well what kind of character my client is and can judge her.
What you say is partly true and partly false.”
"Defendant No. 2 should make his own judgment about the true situation instead of taking one side of the word."
"Besides, even if she was wrongly induced, this does not excuse her from guilt!"
"No matter what the purpose, defendant No. 2 deliberately guided my client to carry out a series of subsequent actions. This is an established fact and cannot be changed no matter what!"
"Those who play a major role in the criminal process should be identified as the principal offender."
"Obviously, in this incident, from the mastermind to the implementation, it was all led by defendant No. 2!"
Chen Mengzhe then said: "I object, I think..."
The debate between the two became more and more intense.
They are all trying their best to prove that the other party is the principal culprit, so as to obtain a reduced sentence for their party.
Jiang Bai and Shen Tianci became "outsiders" instead.
The debate lasted for an hour, but there was still no outcome.
The judge banged his gavel and adjourned the court!
The next court session will be at noon.
The three defendants were taken back to the detention room.
Of course, Wei Donghua was detained separately from the other two people.
If they were put together, someone might get killed.
"Lawyer Chen, you must help us. That bitch should go to jail for the rest of her life! She will be spared from harming others!"
Ma Li was so angry that smoke almost came out of her nostrils.
Chen Mengzhe nodded slowly, with a confident smile on his face, and said: "Don't worry, you two, I will definitely help you commute your sentence."
Seeing that Chen Mengzhe was so confident, Ma Li and Jiao Shengmei felt relieved.
But they didn't know that although Chen Mengzhe looked confident, in fact, he was not at all relaxed inside.
As both members of the legal community in Longcheng, Chen Mengzhe had frequent dealings with Zhang Wei and knew the latter's level.
This is definitely a tough battle!
"Wei Donghua is a bitch! We should leave her alone and let her go bankrupt!"
"That's right, this bitch, it turns out she has been lying to us. If we had known about the disgusting things she did, how could we have helped her."
Ma Li and Jiao Shengmei said through gritted teeth.
Now they face two charges.
The crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and the crime of infringing on citizens’ personal information.
One is less than five years old, and the other is three to seven years old.
This is a provision of the law.
But when it comes to specific sentencing, there are more aspects to consider.
If several crimes are punished concurrently, the principal offender will most likely face a sentence of more than eight years, while if he is an accessory, the sentence may not exceed five years.
The gap is still huge.
And there is another very important thing.
That is, the verdict of this lawsuit will affect subsequent lawsuits to a great extent!
Now it is just a public prosecution, and later there will be a criminal private prosecution by Jiang Bai for defamation and insult.
If Ma Li is identified as the principal culprit in this lawsuit, there is a high probability that she will still be identified as the principal culprit in the subsequent lawsuit.
At that time, the sentences will be stacked, and it is likely to exceed ten years...
