Super Thrilling Live Broadcast Chapter 308: Innocent defense
Chapter 308 Innocent Defense
The hands are crossed, it's three o'clock!
The scene of the court trial gradually quieted down, and a clerk walked out: "Please be quiet, the observers, and the court discipline is now announced."
"Except for those who are allowed to enter the trial area due to work needs, other personnel are not allowed to enter the trial area."
"Without the permission of the presiding judge, you are not allowed to speak or ask questions."
"Those who seriously disturb the order of the court, such as making noise, storming the court, insulting, slandering, and beating the judges, shall be investigated for criminal responsibility according to law, and fines shall be imposed for minor cases."
When there was no more sound from the audience, the clerk continued after receiving the signal from the presiding judge: "Now, the bailiffs are invited to enter the court to perform their duties, and the parties and their attorneys will be sent to the court."
"Now, according to the first paragraph of Article 123 of the "Huaxia Criminal Procedure Law", find out whether the parties and other litigation participants are present in court."
"Is the plaintiff or plaintiff's client present?"
The clerk looked at the plaintiff's seat, Jiang Chen stood up as a representative and replied: "The plaintiff has appeared in court."
"Is plaintiff's defense attorney present?"
Gou Changzheng stood up and signaled: "I have arrived in court."
The clerk turned to look at me: "Is the defendant or the defendant's client present?"
"I have arrived in court." I said in a deep voice.
"Is the defendant's defense attorney present?"
No one responded at the trial, and the clerk asked again: "Is the defendant's defense lawyer present?"
I stared blankly at the empty defense lawyer seats, and voices of discussion gradually spread from the court hearing.
"It's so pitiful, even the defense lawyer has abandoned him."
"Why do you sympathize with a murderer? This kind of person deserves to be betrayed."
"It seems that the serial murder case five years ago was related to him. He escaped by chance last time, and now he continues to commit crimes. It's terrible."
"Psychopath, I don't mind if he gets cut into pieces."
"No, I heard from friends in the bureau that this guy seems to have offended the Jiang family, so he was specifically targeted."
"Not only was he offended, the person he killed was one of the directors of the Jiang family."
"It's not a good thing for a dog to bite a dog."
Whispers came from the auditorium that had just calmed down, and the clerk raised his voice: "Silence!"
He frowned and looked at me: "Defendant, haven't you appointed an agent or hired a defense lawyer?"
"Hired."
"Why hasn't that person arrived yet?"
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of the reason. I moved my lips and said three words: "I don't know."
The clerk was also stunned. He had never encountered such a thing in his many years of legal work, and he turned back to ask the presiding judge for his opinion.
"Continue to the next item." Sitting in the center of the trial platform was a middle-aged man with half-white sideburns, a Chinese character face, and a serious smile. I saw that the sign in front of him read—Presiding Judge Chen Haiyi.
After receiving the reply from the presiding judge, the clerk no longer struggled: "Neither the plaintiff nor the defendant raised objections to both parties appearing in court, and the qualification certificates and powers of attorney submitted to this court are also completely consistent."
After he finished speaking, he stepped aside, and there was the sound of the hammer being struck in the courtroom.
Chen Haiyi, who was sitting in the middle of the trial platform, said: "The court is now open. The Jiangcheng People's Court will hear Gao Jian's case according to the law today. It involves intentional homicide, kidnapping, arson, attacking police officers, robbery, violent resistance to arrest, escape, etc. Twenty-one charges. The judge of this court, Chen Haiyi, will serve as the presiding judge, together with Judges Huang Zheng and Yuan Zhong, form a collegial panel, and the clerk Li Wei will be the court recorder.”
"First, the plaintiff or his authorized agent shall read out the complaint."
After Chen Haiyi finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to the plaintiff's seat.
The specially extended plaintiff's bench was packed with people, including Jiang Chen, Uncle Xie Ding, the old man of the convenience store, representatives of the public security organs, the road management bureau, etc.
The Jiang family put a lot of effort into the determination of the charges involved in the indictment and the final sentencing.
The twenty-one crimes, each of which is listed in great detail, can be said to be well-founded and logically rigorous, and even I, the defendant, couldn't find any obvious flaws after listening to it.
As each charge was uttered, exclamations came from the auditorium, and everyone looked at me differently.
"This guy is too cruel, isn't he?!"
"He looks ordinary, but he kills, escapes, resists arrest, and snatches the police's guns. You can't be fooled by your appearance!"
"He can be shot directly, but it will be a disaster to keep this person."
The scene of the court trial was already boiling when the charge was read out to Article 17, and the presiding judge had no choice but to knock on the gavel: "Silence! Do not affect the order of the court!"
When all the 21 crimes were read out, the auditorium slowly quieted down, but everyone's eyes fell on me in unison, as if I was the only one in the dock. A packed dock is even more intense.
Chen Haiyi also stared at me for a long while, as if he was thinking about the extent to which a person's mind is distorted to commit these crimes within three days, dare to confront the police head-on, and even take the initiative to call the police to lure the police to arrest him .
"The plaintiff's statement of complaint has been read out. Now, the defendant or his agent will respond." After he finished speaking, all eyes were on me. How would a criminal who had neither pleaded.
My eyes are piercing my body, and my lips are a little pale, which may be the reason why my body has not fully recovered.
The other party was well prepared. The 21 crimes were not fabricated at random. Each of them was determined after careful selection. The Jiang family hired the most professional team of lawyers. The motives and reasons for the crime are well analyzed.
I can't refute it, because most of what they say is indeed true.
Assaulting the police, robbing police cars, taxis, robbing police guns, resisting arrest, etc., these things all happened for real. They have surveillance video and have a lot of witnesses. No matter what I say, they can My words are overturned.
Seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, Chen Haiyi urged me again: "Defendant, do you have anything to refute the plaintiff's 21 allegations?"
"It's really like five years ago. Maybe I shouldn't be nosy at all. When the flood comes, I don't know if you can sit here in good clothes and criticize me." At this moment, I remembered The text message from the Underworld show before the start of the eighth live broadcast, the phrase "You stand by their side, you were pushed down the abyss by them" I didn't understand its true meaning until now.
"This is indeed the abyss of death." I thought about the solution quickly in my mind. Although Du Yu didn't arrive on time, some of his previous words gave me inspiration.
Even if I really killed the person, I can't admit it! That's right, the root of these 21 accusations lies in the case of Jiang Long's death, and they can't fully prove that I am the murderer in the case of Jiang Long's death. How could it be possible to establish a complete chain of evidence within?
"Defendant, if you are going to drop your plea, we will..."
"Give up? Why do you want to give up?" Although I was wearing a prison uniform, I was still tall and straight. Not true!"
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.
"The surveillance video is almost turned into a personal photo album, and you still have the audacity to say that you have been wronged?"
"You still want to quibble with the witnesses and evidence. Are you a plaintiff's lawyer for nothing?"
"Murder and arson, attacking the police and escaping, he is still able to remain calm and pinpoint the loopholes in the case. This guy has a very good mental quality!"
"Silence!" In less than ten minutes of the court session, Chen Haiyi had already called for silence many times, which had never happened before in public trials.
He sounded the gavel: "The plaintiff and the defendant have finished their statements, and now proceed to the next item—cross-examination!"
The cross-examination link can be said to be the most critical part of the court trial. The defendant and the plaintiff need to show the collected evidence to everyone, including the jury and the audience.
The evidence listed in the cross-examination session will become the key to the subsequent debate and the basis for the debate.
"Next, the plaintiff will explain the source of the evidence, the matters to be proved, and the purpose of the evidence, and the defendant will conduct cross-examination."
Chen Haiyi nodded to the plaintiff, and the lawyer in the plaintiff's seat, wearing expensive glasses and spraying hairspray, stood up and said, "The plaintiff's lawyer, Gou Changzheng, is requesting the judge to send the first witness to the court!"
