Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

  Chapter 294 Contempt of Court? Boil the witness?

   "You fart!"

   Gao Xiaoping's sudden outburst was unexpected.

  Although Zhang Wei knew that the client had a bad temper, he didn't expect the other party to be so courageous!

   Roaring in court!

   And facing the judge, facing Lao Guo, he uttered a foul language.

  The eyes of the audience were all focused on the defense seat, and on Gao Xiaoping next to Zhang Wei.

   After Guo Wufeng experienced the initial surprise, a sly smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

   "Your Majesty, is the defendant roaring in court? What kind of place does she think this is, to make her so presumptuous!"

   What kind of opportunity is this, the opportunity to export with the wind, how could Guo Wufeng miss it.

He looked at Zhang Wei again with a sarcastic expression: "And the defense lawyer, can you please restrain your client? In this sacred court, doing so is simply contempt of the court, do you still have anything in your heart? Judge, is there still order?"

Ok.

  Zhang Wei admitted that he was indeed a little uncomfortable with the opponent's firepower.

   But who makes people export with the wind now?

  Look around, what do the 12 pairs of eyes on the jury look like when they look at their client.

   They looked at Gao Xiaoping, just like looking at a criminal, with both disgust and disgust in their eyes.

   Zhang Wei sighed helplessly, got up slowly, and pressed Gao Xiaoping down again.

   "Ms. Gao, I should have said that you can't even control your own temper, how can you make the jury believe you!"

   "I...I'm not happy that they slandered me!" Gao Xiaoping also realized the problem at this moment, but she still insisted on her words.

   "I'm not happy either, but I can control my temper, at least I won't get angry at the judge, and suddenly make such a noise in court!"

   Zhang Wei chuckled and looked at the tribunal at the same time.

  According to his guess, the judge will not turn a blind eye to the voice just now.

   Even if Judge Liu wanted to settle things down, Lao Guo probably wouldn't let him do so.

   In fact, Judge Liu is making a choice.

   "Do you want to hit the hammer, do you want to hit it? What should I do after the hit? This is the first time I face this Zhang Wei, will he be dissatisfied with me?"

   Thinking of Zhang Wei's title of "murder lawyer", Judge Liu felt a little panic in his heart.

   "Your Majesty, what are you hesitating about!"

   But as Zhang Wei said, Guo Wufeng is now exporting with the wind, and he will not miss such an opportunity.

   "The defendant's behavior just now not only interrupted what I said, she is still provoking the judge's authority!"

"You have warned her once in advance, but she still knowingly commits the crime, just like she has received notices from witnesses after the update of the medical regulations in Dongfang Capital, but she still goes her own way. Such behavior is completely contempt for others. !"

   "Your Majesty, if you tolerate it again, it will encourage the defendant's behavior. As a judge, please show the courage you should have!"

   Guo Wufeng's series of words made Judge Liu understand the seriousness of the matter.

   Dong Dong!

   The latter really hit the hammer.

   "Defendant, this court believes that your actions just now are completely contempt of court. This court has clearly informed you before that you should not be agitated or do drastic actions, but you do not repent at all!"

   "Now this court declares that I have betrayed you in contempt of court. You must remain silent until it is your turn to speak. After the dissolution of the court, I have betrayed you and temporarily detained you in contempt of court. I hope you will calm down in these days!"

   Although Judge Liu does not like this very much, as a judge, he must maintain the majesty of the court.

After he made the announcement, he looked at Zhang Wei: "Defense lawyer, do you have any objection to this court's announcement?"

   "Your Majesty, the defense has no opinion, and we also have no irrational behavior of the parties. We apologize to the court and the jury and the hearing bench!"

   Zhang Wei lowered his posture, bowed deeply to everyone, and apologized.

   His attitude is very good, but whether these people appreciate it is another matter.

   "Lawyer Zhang, you just let them detain me like this?"

   Gao Xiaoping saw Zhang Wei bow and apologize, and didn't even say a word for himself, and immediately became angry again.

   "Ms. Gao, if you get angry again, I will cancel the cooperation with you directly!"

"If you are in contempt of court twice and yell at the judge, the Bar Association will find that you have no sincerity in cooperation at all. Even if I unilaterally terminate the employment relationship with you, it will not violate professional ethics. You can understand your own situation!"

   Zhang Wei will not be used to this woman, the other party is grumpy, but his temper is not small.

  A lawyer is not a service industry, there is no need to lick the client, the two parties are a cooperative relationship.

  To a lawyer like him, he can choose his clients completely. Who is happy to help you while being angry with you.

   At least Zhang Wei can't do that. While thinking about helping others, he has to be looked down upon by others.

   After some serious "threat", Gao Xiaoping could only be honest.

  Although her clenched fists and rubbed teeth were still reminding others, there was still anger in her heart.

   But after all, she was a little bit afraid and didn't dare to lose her temper at Zhang Wei again.

   "I won't get used to you who are difficult to serve!"

   Zhang Wei sneered in his heart, and then his eyes directly ignored Gao Xiaoping, but turned to the jury.

   At this sight, his expression turned gloomy.

   The client was honest, but her out-of-control behavior just now made the trial more difficult.

   Seeing the 12 jurors, Gao Xiaoping's eyes turned into deep disgust.

   They know that Gao Xiaoping will lose control, so doesn't it mean that she may do irrational things while helping others deliver babies?

   How could such a life-threatening event be handed over to a grumpy woman?

  Looking at the jury's posture, if the verdict is needed now, 120% of the votes are guilty!

   "This is steady!"

  Similarly, the jury's reaction was also watched by Guo Wufeng and Zhao Chunming.

  As seasoned prosecutors, the two of them also have a lot of trial experience.

  When they saw the jury's reaction, they already understood that as long as they don't waver and stay steady, they will win.

   In the hearing box, all the friends of the criminal department showed nervous expressions.

  No, no, no?

  The famous and fierce lawyer Zhang is going to lose?

  Although they didn't want to admit it, the jury's expression clearly told them that we didn't like this defendant very much.

   Even if you’re a newcomer, even if you don’t know how to read your words, anyone who takes a look at the jury will be able to understand.

   "Lawyer Zhang, you're going to lose..."

   The most active girl among the newcomers, Su Xiaoqian, looked at Zhang Wei in the courtroom and said softly.

   "Yeah, do we have to witness the fall of a superstar the first time we listen in?"

   "The superstar is a bit exaggerated, and Lawyer Zhang is at most a rising star!"

   "Yeah, my thousand yuan, my snack money this month o(╥﹏╥)o..."

   Among the crowd, the saddest person might be Lin Yumeng who also came to watch the battle.

   The only thing she remembered was that Zhang Wei won by betting 1,000 yuan before.

   It seems that the 1000 yuan is going to fly out of his pocket.

   "That girl who is about to cry, is it the daughter of the fat man from the Lin family?"

   There was another person in the corner of the jury who noticed the change in Lin Yumeng's expression. He was Hua Chaofan.

   "It's really weird. The fat man looked bad. I heard that his wife is not very good, but his daughter's genes are not bad, it can't be..."

   "No no no, if there is really a problem, the old man Lin Jincheng will never bear it. The person who may have the problem has long since disappeared. This old man has a dark heart!"

  Hua Chaofan shook his head and looked away from Lin Yumeng.

  Although he is a junior, he came to participate in the trial this time, and his focus was still on Zhang Wei.

   "This kid is going to lose. His fame isn't really empty, it's all about luck, right?"

  Hua Chaofan didn't quite believe the words of the fat man from the Lin family. Now, seeing the situation of this trial, he is more certain of this.

   "Hmph, boring..."

   His time is precious. Since Zhang Wei is at a disadvantage, he feels that he will be a little bored if he keeps watching.

  Because he guessed, he probably won't have the chance to see the defense testify today. He still has some things to do, so he doesn't need to waste time here.

   got up and trotted out of the courtroom, his movements very fluid.

  In court, Zhang Wei didn't know that he had left a tricky audience.

   He was thinking about how to restore the disadvantage.

   "Prosecutor, do you still need to ask questions?"

   Judge Liu looked at Guo Wufeng.

   The latter shook his head, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

   His purpose has been achieved, because the testimony of the witness Lao Yi has already let the jury know one thing.

   Defendant Gao Xiaoping still practiced medicine illegally even when he was clearly notified.

  , coupled with the question he just asked, completely angered the latter, causing the other party to do irrational things.

   It can be said that this one is stable!

  The advantage is on our side!

   "Your Excellency, for this witness, the prosecution ends the question!"

   "Okay, the defense, please start cross-examination!"

   As the judge announced, Guo Wufeng walked back to the prosecution seat.

   On the other hand, Zhang Wei got up slowly.

   He first warned Gao Xiaoping with his eyes to not act rashly, and then walked to the front of the witness stand.

   "Hello, Lao Yi!"

   "Hello, lawyer!"

   Lao Yi is also an old prosecutor. It can be said that the person he has dealt with the most in his life is a defense lawyer like Zhang Wei.

   Confrontation with defense attorneys is his job.

   So facing Zhang Wei, Lao Yi was very calm, just as calm as he saw his neighbors.

   "Excuse me, Lao Yi, how long have you and my client known each other?"

   "Didn't I just say that I have been a local inspector of Bei Chong Island for 30 years, and just a few years after I moved to Bei Chong Island, the defendant came. We have known each other for more than 20 years."

   "Indeed, according to what you said, you are not only a witness for the prosecution in this case, but you can also meet the conditions of being my client's character witness, right?"

"be opposed to!"

   As soon as Zhang Wei finished speaking, Guo Wufeng stood up directly.

   How could he not see Zhang Wei's thoughts.

   attempted to use the prosecution witnesses to intercede for the defendant.

   This trick is generally not used by defense lawyers, or dare not use it.

  Because prosecution witnesses generally do not stand on the side of the defendant, they generally stand for the prosecution and are enemies of the defense.

   Do you hope that the enemy will say good things about the defendant, don't be funny, this kind of thing is almost impossible.

   But Zhang Wei is different. This kid likes to show tricks. When necessary, he even dares to call the enemy.

   Therefore, Guo Wufeng knew that Zhang Wei's appointment of Lao Yi as a character witness was not a whim, there must be another purpose.

   And all he has to do is to kill this possible variable.

"Your Excellency, the list of witnesses clearly states that Prosecutor Yi on the witness stand is a witness for the prosecution, not a witness for the defense submitted by lawyer Zhang, let alone a character witness for the defendant. To prove the character of the accused, the witness has the right to refuse!"

   Guo Wufeng said this not only to the judge, but also to remind Lao Yi on the witness stand.

   If Zhang Wei asks some parents inappropriate questions that have nothing to do with the case, you have the right to refuse.

   "Yes, the prosecutor is right!"

   Judge Liu also nodded in agreement, then looked at Zhang Wei: "Defense lawyer, please pay attention, the prosecution witnesses only need to answer questions related to the case!"

   "I see, Your Honor!"

   Zhang Wei nodded his head naturally, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth still rose.

   Obviously, he has a plan.

   "Cough, then continue to ask questions!"

   Zhang Wei stepped in front of Lao Yi, and then smiled: "Prosecutor Yi, or the former prosecutor, is it more appropriate to call you that?"

"casual."

   Lao Yi continued to answer with a smile, with a calm attitude.

   "Okay, old easy!"

   Zhang Wei's Xia sentence made Lao Yi unable to laugh.

  Who are you, call me Laoyi, are you familiar with me?

   Can't you call me a witness?

   But Zhang Wei didn't care about this, the title was only secondary, and he started to ask questions.

   "Old Yi, I would like to ask you whether you have ever handled a complaint case concerning my client during your tenure as a prosecutor at the Beichong Island District Prosecutor's Office?"

   "This..." Lao Yi thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's not."

   "For more than 20 years, almost 30 years, there is not a single complaint about my client?"

   "Not really!"

   "Not even a single ticket or a neighbor's complaint?"

   "There are no tickets and complaints, and if there are, I'll definitely say it."

   Hearing Lao Yi's affirmative answer, Zhang Wei smiled: "Doesn't that mean that my client obeys the law and is a good citizen?"

   "Cough!"

   As soon as he finished muttering, Guo Wufeng on the prosecution table coughed "in time".

  This is a warning!

   warns Zhang Wei not to play tricks, and thinks about making Lao Yi a character witness, do you really think I can't see and listen?

   Zhang Wei was warned, and immediately smiled apologetically at Judge Liu.

   "Old Yi, I would like to ask, are you sure that you warned my client righteously and told her not to continue to provide medical services to the residents of Beichong Island?"

"this……"

   Zhang Wei's question made Lao Yi stunned for a moment.

   "I did inform her at the time..."

   "What did you say then?"

"I……"

  Old Yi recalled, "I found her at the time, and told her about some changes in regulations after the merger, for example, there is a regulation on licenses in the medical field."

   "After that, have you implemented and implemented this provision conscientiously, for example, to see if my client is still providing delivery services for the mother, and have you clearly corrected her behavior?"

"this……"

   Lao Yi was really speechless this time.

   Because a few years ago, after the regulations were made, he did find Gao Xiaoping and ran away, and told the other party about it.

   But he didn't care too much at the time, so he casually said something like "You have to be careful."

   And then, Gao Xiaoping continued to help the mother deliver the baby, and he didn't care too much.

   It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't.

Because the regular hospital is a bit far away, it takes more than an hour to get there by car. Some villagers who live on the edge of the island have to drive for more than two hours to get there. Moreover, many residents rely on fishing for a living and do not have vehicles at home. , going to the hospital is a problem.

  Without the help of Gao Xiaoping, many mothers would be inconvenient to come and go, and it would be too difficult to reach the hospital on the island.

   Therefore, he really did not seriously enforce this rule at the time.

   "Old Yi, I think my client knows the law and broke the law, and the responsibility is not on her..."

   Zhang Wei instantly captured the change in Lao Yi's expression, and immediately smiled: "The real responsibility lies with you, it is your behavior that condones her knowing the law and breaking the law!"

"be opposed to!"

   Guo Wufeng got up immediately.

"Your Majesty, I think I'm right. The former prosecutor of Beichong Island did not implement the new regulations at all. He didn't confirm whether the regulations were strictly enforced, except that he informed my client at the beginning. Do you think his behavior is the root cause of my client knowing the law and breaking the law?"

   "If it wasn't for his connivance, if he reminded him many times and gave warnings at the time, my client might have changed jobs a few years ago, or retired early?"

   Zhang Wei also spread his hands and looked at the court with an innocent face.

   "This..." Judge Liu was in trouble when he saw this.

   On the one hand, he has to worry about Guo Wufeng, and there is pressure from Zhao Chunming on the hearing stand.

   On the other hand, what Zhang Wei said is also very reasonable. Lao Yi, the former prosecutor, did not do well in the implementation of the regulations.

   So, what's up with this?

   "Zhang Wei, I know you want to take the blame, but you can't prove that the witness really condoned the defendant!"

   "Old Guo, you are wrong, I can prove it!"

   Guo Wufeng's words were pushed back by Zhang Wei.

   "How do you prove it?" Guo Wufeng was stunned, and there was a vague feeling of bad premonition in his heart.

Zhang Wei turned his head to look at the witness stand, and asked coldly, "Old Yi, I want to ask, did my client come to you in a panic one night three years ago? Her car broke down that day, and she Need to go to the edge of the island to help deliver a family's daughter?"

"this……"

   "Is there such a thing?"

   Facing Zhang Wei's sharp eyes, Lao Yi finally nodded, "...Yes, there is such a thing."

   "Okay, please tell me, and tell everyone, what did you do that night?"

"I……"

   Lao Yi hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Guo Wufeng and the jury with a hint of hesitation on his face.

   But in the end, he still said calmly: "Because I was afraid of delaying time, and I was also afraid that the daughter of the family would have an accident... I, I cured myself and drove her over there..."

   "Did this incident happen three years ago, after the new medical regulations of the Eastern Capital came down?"

"Yes, it is!"

   "That is to say, you didn't follow the regulations to tell my client to stop practicing medicine, but instead directly helped her, right?"

   "You can say that, I don't deny it."

  Since it has been explained before, Lao Yi admitted it very quickly this time.

   And as he admitted, the audience was in an uproar.

  Good guy, it turns out that you, the former prosecutor, really condoned the defendant.

  The wind direction of the courtroom showed a slight change.
