Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Chapter 143: Rebut witnesses? Zhang Wei does not like the means (thank me

  Chapter 143 Refuting witnesses? Zhang Wei does not like the means (thanks to the leader of the alliance if I still have a chance)

   "Your Excellency Judge, we have no other problems with Representative Cheng."

  Zhang Wei ended his speech, and Cheng Liang's self-evidence as a defense witness ended.

   When he walked back to the dock, Wang Meiyan stood up.

   "Lawyer Zhang, are you sure about the prosecution's next question?"

   Legal Counsel Yang came up cautiously with a worried look on his face.

   After all, the next step is the main event. As a five-year lawyer with black feet, Wang Meiyan is also a bit of a level.

   It is impossible for her to do nothing and let Zhang Wei and his party lead the jury.

  Especially after Cheng Liang's self-evidence just now and the evidence of many cases, the jury's sympathy for the plaintiff has weakened a lot.

   Even Legal Counsel Yang can see that the current situation is no longer on the side of the plaintiff.

  How could Wang Meiyan sit still, waiting to lose the lawsuit?

   Zhang Wei was silent, not even responding.

   Court, cross-examination began.

   "Representative Cheng, as an executive of an insurance company, I heard that you climbed up step by step from an insurance salesman, right?"

   "I have joined Sincerity Insurance for almost 25 years, and I can be considered a veteran of the company."

   "Then you joined Sincere Insurance Company and now the company has a scale of over 10 billion. You should be aware of a lot of things in the company, right?"

   "Well, of course, I grew up watching the company, it's like my child."

   "Then you are also aware of the shady secrets in many insurance companies, right?"

"be opposed to!"

   Wang Meiyan's last question, before Cheng Liang answered, Zhang Wei got up first.

   "The question of ambiguity, lawyers are guiding witnesses, Your Excellency, please remind lawyer Wang that there are shady secrets in any industry. I think there are more black mists on their feet. Do you need me to raise it in court?"

   "Objection is valid!"

   Judge Ni looked at Wang Meiyan with a warning in his eyes: "Lawyer Wang, I suggest you not to dwell too much on the question of shady. If you want to ask the truth, please specify the content of the question!"

   "Sorry, Your Majesty, I'll ask a specific question now!"

  Wang Meiyan apologized and glared at Zhang Wei.

   She looked at Cheng Liang again and asked a question: "Representative Cheng, may I ask Sincerity Insurance, has there been any false propaganda, obscured product functions, forced employees to buy company products, or deceived customers?"

   "At the same time, have there been violent incidents, brawls, large-scale employee strikes, high-level corruption incidents, etc. in your company?"

   "Are all of your questions serious?"

  Cheng Liang did not expect that Wang Meiyan would ask so many questions all at once.

   Zhang Wei on the defense table was not surprised.

   After he even smiled lightly, he consulted Legal Counsel Yang next door:

"I believe that similar problems will arise in ordinary large companies. The scale of sincerity insurance is tens of billions of yuan. There are branch offices in many cities in the south. For incidents such as strikes and high-level corruption, even if the head office does not have it, the branch office must have. Will it appear?"

"It did happen, but it was a few years ago. Our company has undergone two large-scale personnel changes. The current CEO faction was still affiliated with a branch company back then, and most of those problems were from the faction of the former head office. people made trouble."

   As Legal Affairs Yang explained, Zhang Wei didn't delve too much into it.

   Anyway, these are not the common problems of big companies.

   If you want to say that a company has grown and grown and finally reached a scale of tens of billions, if there is no "grey" doorway written in it, he will not believe it himself.

  If you do business honestly, you are not suitable to be a businessman?

   Facing Wang Meiyan's question at this moment, Cheng Liang hesitated for a moment, but still replied: "These problems you mentioned, our company has indeed appeared in the development, I do not deny this."

   "Oh, can I understand that, now with your sincerity insurance, these problems are gone, right?"

   "Ever since he took office, the CEO has caught a lot of bad behavior. Now, there are very few similar incidents in Sincerity Insurance. The whole company has completely changed its appearance when it was in charge of the old faction!"

   "Okay, remember your answer!"

  Wang Meiyan sneered and looked at Judge Ni: "Your Majesty, in response to the testimony of the defense witnesses, we need to call a rebuttal witness!"

   "Rebut the witness, the court will allow it!"

  Ni Qiuping did not object, and Wang Meiyan said immediately: "The defense has summoned Li Youqian, an employee of Sincerity Insurance Company, to testify in court!"

   "This is an employee of the old faction, right?"

  Zhang Wei immediately asked Legal Affairs Yang next to him, who nodded.

   Zhang Wei knew that, since he was an employee of the old faction, he would definitely be dissatisfied with the new CEO who was caught in a bad way.

   In other words, this person’s testimony is not credible.

  Li Youqian is a thin middle-aged man, sitting in the witness stand a little uneasy, looking up from time to time, but will soon lower his head.

"Mr. Li, thank you for your testimony in court today. I know that it must be very difficult for you to testify against the company you work for. You must have endured a lot to stand on the sacred witness stand. Psychological pressure?"

   "Yes, I also know that this is not good, but as a person with a conscience, I know even more that I must stand up and break the lie of sincerity insurance!"

  Li Youqian suddenly became indignant, and his tone was extremely solemn.

   "Okay, please tell everyone whether the previous testimony of your company's Cheng representative is false!"

"Hey, I'm not afraid to tell everyone that Cheng Liang and the CEO are two hypocrites. The situation in the company is completely different from what he said. He said that there was a problem in the Jinnan branch last year. They blocked the news..."

   Next, Li Youqian began to explode the shady scene, and his words were fierce, which attracted the jury's attention.

   He said for several minutes, until after he finished speaking, he still looked at the defense table, looked at Cheng Liang, and showed a trace of pleasure in getting revenge.

   Obviously, he was suppressed by a lot of Cheng Liang factions in the company, and he came to court today to take revenge.

   "We thank the witnesses again for their remarks!"

   Wang Meiyan walked back to the prosecution table after seeing Li Youqian finished venting.

   Li Youqian's speech can be said to be very effective. She can feel that the wind direction of the jury has changed again.

   "Mr. Li, what's your monthly salary?"

  Zhang Wei cross-examined and immediately asked the first question.

   "The basic salary is 4500, and the commission is calculated separately."

   "Then may I ask you, have you issued an order in the last few months, and how much is the commission?"

   "Can I refuse to answer this question?"

  Li Youqian looked at Zhang Wei with an unnatural look in his eyes.

   Mainly because of this issue, it’s too private, and he hasn’t billed much in recent months.

"Well, it is indeed a little more private, but if you don't say it, I also have the answer. You haven't billed much in recent months, and the monthly commission is all the same as the previous customer, and the specific commission is not more than 2,000. Counting the basic salary, the maximum salary is only 7,000 a month, right?"

   "Probably this number." Li Youqian nodded.

   "By the way, let me ask another question, does your wife have a job?"

   "Objection, this issue has nothing to do with this case!"

  Wang Meiyan stood up immediately, but her face was a little unnatural when she heard Zhang Wei mention Li Yuqian's wife.

   "Your Excellency, I promise that in the next round of questions, I can tell you that these questions are related to the witness and this case!"

   "Okay, then, if the next question is different from what you promised, be careful I will disqualify you to ask!"

   Judge Ni warned and looked at Wang Meiyan: "Objection is invalid!"

  Wang Meiyan secretly hated in her heart, but she could only sit down angrily.

   "Witness, please answer my question, does your wife have a job?"

   "My wife, not working..."

   "Okay, please explain, an anonymous remittance of 100,000 yuan suddenly appeared in your wife's account last night. What's going on?"

   As soon as these words came out, Li Youqian was shocked and his face was stunned.

   Not only that, but the jury was also in an uproar.

   Good guy, what you said just now was so righteous and dignified, I thought you were a righteous person who was not afraid of power and dared to expose the company's ugly face.

   As a result, you got paid!

"Witness, your salary has not been high in recent months, but you have spent a lot of money. I believe your savings should be less than 100,000 yuan, but why did your wife suddenly send an extra 100,000 yuan in remittance, and it was anonymously transferred, and it was Are these all too coincidental during the trial of this case?"

"This……"

   Lee's rich forehead was already sweating.

"Can you tell everyone, who gave you this remittance? And when the other party made the transfer to you, what promise did you make? You never tell everyone that the money was transferred to you casually. I don't ask you for anything, do you?"

"This……"

   In the face of Zhang Wei's questioning, Li Youqian was speechless, and he could only look at Wang Meiyan as if asking for help.

   "Witness, you looked at the prosecution lawyer Wang, did you tell us that she was the one who transferred the money to you?"

   "Objection, the defense attorney is a false accusation!"

  How could Wang Meiyan bear it, she immediately stood up and denied it.

   "Lawyer Wang, your rebuttal witness charged money, I don't think you will deny it, right?"

   "I don't know where the money came from!"

   "You're sure, but I don't think it's commonplace for you black feet to buy tokens?"

   "I repeat, I don't know what the money is about!"

  Wang Meiyan continued to deny it, and Zhang Wei didn't intend to investigate further, but looked at the trial seat.

"Your Excellency, in view of the fact that the witness cannot answer the origin of this large transfer, and the timing of the transfer is such a coincidence, the defense requests that the witness's previous testimony be treated as perjury, and at the same time requests the court to control the witness in accordance with the law under the crime of perjury, waiting for Trial!"

   "Well, the court allows it!"

   Ni Qiuping nodded and summoned Tingwei.

  Li Youqian was taken away like this. As a rebuttal witness, he did not expect that he would be charged with perjury shortly after speaking.

  Wang Meiyan watched Li Youqian being taken away, but she couldn't have a seizure, she was so angry.

   "Lawyer Wang, do you think I can't guess what you're going to do? Your black-footed style is too good to guess. But this trick is too old-fashioned. I suggest you to be more disciplined."

   It was at this moment that Zhang Wei came to the plaintiff's seat and sneered at Wang Meiyan.

   Wang Meiyan gritted her teeth, but Zhang Wei ignored her.

   "Your Excellency, in view of the rebuttal of the witness's statement, I am requesting a response to these statements on behalf of me!"

   "Court Allowed!"

  Since the judge agreed, Cheng Liang sat back on the witness stand again.

After he took a deep breath, he saw that the court was silent, and then slowly said: "I know that when people hear the word 'insurance company', they usually roll their eyes, and all they think about is haunting you one by one. clerk, all the harassing calls to you."

   "But what I want to say is that the service our company provides is actually very valuable, and the business we are engaged in is very great, and I have a deep understanding of this."

Cheng Liang said this, his tone was a little choked: "Not long ago, I also experienced a very painful period, like the plaintiff Yao Liting and the cases we showed, my body also collapsed due to years of work. At that time, I needed all-round care, and I was fortunate to receive this service, thanks to our company's insurance."

   "I also admit that in the process of development and growth of any company, it is impossible to be smooth sailing, and there may be any problems of one kind or another. This is the common problem of large companies."

"But I can tell you that these problems have been overcome one by one under the leadership of the new CEO. The appearance of our company has been completely changed, and the unhealthy trends within the company have also been eliminated. I am very proud of my work.”

   "I can also assure everyone who is watching the trial that we are sincere insurance companies and will definitely provide customers with the best service we can..."

  Cheng Liang finished his speech, he nodded to Zhang Wei, and then walked off the witness stand.

   "This ad is great!"

   Zhang Wei complained inwardly, and nodded with a smile.

   Advertises his company heavily in court, as expected of an old salesman.

   "Your Excellency, the defense has no witnesses to call, and has decided to end the testimony!"

   Hearing what Zhang Wei said, Ni Qiuping nodded.

   "Then adjourn the court for 15 minutes, and the two sides will start their closing arguments!"

  …

   After 15 minutes.

   "I want to invite you to take a look, the woman on the plaintiff's box, she's going to die soon!"

   "If she doesn't get a transplant, she won't be able to watch her children go to school, let alone spend the remaining 6 birthdays with them."

"And the insurance companies standing in front of you, they do everything possible to obstruct all this, just because of money. In their eyes, a human life is worthless, and they themselves are profit-making companies. What is their purpose? To provide services to our customers ?"

   "Wrong, their purpose is to make money!"

   "So please see the ugly face of the insurance company clearly, and please help my client and help her fulfill her last wish..."

  Wang Meiyan said, Yao Liting in the plaintiff's box burst into tears, and the atmosphere in the court became a little sad.

   After Wang Meiyan finished speaking, there were indeed many people on the jury, all looking at the plaintiff Yao Liting.

   "Lawyer Zhang, everything depends on you!"

   Noticed that the wind direction in the courtroom changed again, Cheng Liang could only look at Zhang Wei.

   "I'll try my best, but I don't like the next speech myself!"

  Zhang Wei reluctantly muttered, and after Wang Meiyan finished speaking, she slowly walked to the court.

   "Jurors, you think Yao Liting urgently needs a source of liver, you saw her tragic experience, you sympathize with her, don't you?"

   "Yes, not only you, in fact, even I sympathize with her. I also think she is a victim. She is at stake. Once she loses the case, she may not be able to see her child again."

   "But I want to tell you, what if there are people in this world who are more miserable than Yao Liting, and they urgently need such a source of liver?"

   Zhang Wei said, and took out the documents in his arms.

   "Sincere Insurance Company, there are many more miserable customers than Yao Liting. Let me give you a few examples for comparison."

"Client Ms. Sun, 28 years old, is in urgent need of liver transplantation. The doctor judged that if the operation is completed, she can find a good man to marry and have children. If she recovers well after the operation, she can live to 60 or even 70 years old, with a perfect life.”

"Client Mr. Li, 34 years old, used to be the mainstay of the family. He has two sons, a daughter, and a wife who never leaves him. He also urgently needs surgery. The doctor judges that if the surgery is successful, he can still accompany his children. Twenty years, even thirty years, but if there is no surgery, he has to stay in the intensive care unit all the time, the cost of treatment is enough to crush any family, do you think he is not miserable enough?"

   "And I still have many, many, many such customers..."

   "Now I want to ask everyone, do you think that the plaintiff, Ms. Yao Liting, can be in front of them and enjoy the adapted liver source first?"

   "If you think so, then I want to ask you a question for these customers..."

   Zhang Wei walked to the jury and said meaningfully, "Would it be fair to them if we did this?"

   "If you say yes, then does your action amount to murdering their lives?"

   This question made the jurors look at each other in dismay.

   Hearing this question, Bai Meiqi in the hearing box's eyes lit up slightly.

   Connected!

  Zhang Wei's closing statement is actually connected with the question at the beginning of the selection of the jury!

  Bai Meiqi also has to praise, someone could have thought of this last step from the beginning of the trial!

  It's so scary!

   Without mentioning the conjecture of someone in the hearing room, Zhang Wei's closing statement is now over.

   He walked back to the defense table and began to await the final sentencing.

  After 1 hour, the result finally came out.

   in court.

   "Chief juror, have you made a uniform verdict?"

   "Yes, Your Honor!"

   "Well, you can announce it!"

  The plaintiff's seat, Yao Liting clasped her hands, Wang Meiyan's eyes were solemn.

   In the plaintiff's seat, Cheng Liang and Legal Counsel Yang became nervous, while Zhang Wei's expression was relatively calm.

   In the hearing box, Ding Chuntian was holding his two children tightly, while Bai Meiqi was looking forward to it.

   Just under the attention of many parties, the chief juror stood up, and Lang Lang announced:

   "After the deliberations of our six jurors, in this case we support..."

   "Defendant Sincerity Insurance Company!"

   With the announcement of the end, Zhang Wei let out a sigh of relief, but he was also a little helpless at the same time.

   Using the means of comparing others to compare miserably with each other, he actually doesn't like this trick very much.

   "Lawyer Zhang, thank you, you are indeed the lawyer that the CEO likes, you are amazing!"

   However, Cheng Liang and Legal Counsel Yang, who were sitting on the side, were very excited.

   But unlike the cheerful atmosphere of the defense bench, the plaintiff's bench was gloomy.

"Do not……"

   When the plaintiff Yao Liting heard the result, she finally collapsed and burst into tears.

   "Wife, don't be afraid, we can still appeal!"

  Ding Chuntian hurriedly stepped forward to comfort them, their two children were about to cry at the moment.

  Wang Meiyan was staring at Zhang Wei's position, her face became even uglier than her dead parents.

  She lost, lost to Zhang Wei!

   At the same time, she also lived up to Hu Yaode's expectations, let alone aborted Blackfoot's future plans.

  She is Wang Meiyan, this is over!
