Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

  Chapter 36 What is justice? Tan Yingying breaks defense

   (Some readers in the group reacted that today’s out-of-context was uncomfortable, the author couldn’t bear it, and decided to update the chapter at 10 o’clock, but it’s only this time, it won’t be like this next time~)

  …

   "Prosecutor Tan Yingying, please tell me, what is this?"

   Zhang Wei held the cardboard in his hand. This large cardboard with a width of one meter was like a painting displayed in front of everyone's eyes.

   In the hearing box, some people who had not recovered from Zhang Weishao's operation looked over subconsciously.

   "This is not... this is not ours..."

  Beside Guo Wufeng, a prosecutor exclaimed.

   In fact, he was not the only one who saw it. The prosecutors of the Minor Crime Division, including Guo Wufeng, recognized it.

  No way, this thing hangs on the wall of their office every day, it is too familiar.

   Court.

   "This...this is..." Tan Yingying was a little hard to say, so much so that she couldn't hold a complete sentence for a long time.

   "Prosecutor Tan Yingying, what's the matter? You don't talk about it every day, why can't you name it?"

   Zhang Wei, however, no matter how embarrassed the other party was, he continued to ask: "I remember, you seem to call this thing a "scoreboard", is there such a thing? "

   "Actually, it's called a scoreboard..." Tan Yingying replied weakly.

   Zhang Wei slapped his head: "Oh, so this is called a scoreboard~"

   He pointed to a spot on the scoreboard and asked again: "Then please tell me why there is my client's name here?"

   "Because it's written."

   "Write it up, why write it up?"

   "Uh..." Tan Yingying didn't know how to answer.

   Zhang Wei showed the scoreboard in his hand to the jury to watch: "Everyone, please see, there are many names written here, and there are some marks on the back, with √, ×, and ★ oh."

  The jurors all stepped forward, and many began to whisper.

   Zhang Wei returned to the witness stand again: "Prosecutor Tan Yingying, please tell me now, what do these marks represent, and what is the function of this scoreboard?"

   "I...this...this is some kind of performance incentive chart..."

"Bar?"

   Zhang Wei emphasized the last word and winked at Tan Yingying.

   "Okay, then if you are telling the truth, then I would like to ask, does your misdemeanor department treat my client as some kind of performance appraisal value?"

   "Objection!" Xiao Baihe stood up from the prosecution table.

   "What is the objection, is the question I asked wrong?" But Zhang Wei didn't care at all and asked Xiao Baihe instead.

   "Prosecutor Xiao, I should have warned you that if you do this again, I will sentence you to contempt of court!"

   At the trial seat, the judge couldn't sit still and gave Xiao Baihe a verbal warning.

  Xiao Baihe could only sit down unwillingly, but looking at Zhang Wei, he wanted to swallow him alive.

   "Witness, please answer the question!"

After being named by the judge, Tan Yingying looked towards the hearing booth, but Zhang Wei stood in front of her first, blocking Tan Yingying's eyes and asking Guo Wufeng's plan.

   "Witness, Your Excellency the Judge also said, please answer the question!"

   "Do you need me to ask again, does your Misdemeanor Division treat my client as some kind of performance appraisal value?"

   Faced with Zhang Wei's pressing question, Tan Yingying could only answer as low as a mosquito: "No, it's not like this..."

   "It's not like that, what is that, this chart is just a display?"

   Zhang Wei laughed, and then his tone became cold: "Witness, the seat under your **** is not for ordinary people to sit on. It is a sacred witness stand. I shouldn't need to remind you of the consequences of perjury, right?"

   "If you say no, then I'll ask you if your supervisor Guo Wufeng has said this..."

  Zhang Wei tried his best to be serious, with a sullen face, making a roar, roaring: "Who are we, we are the headquarters of the Eastern Metropolis, we can never be defeated!"

   "If our Misdemeanor Division loses to a rookie lawyer, where do you let me put Guo Wufeng's face, and why do you let me go to the Eastern Metropolitan Prosecutor's Office?"

   As soon as these words came out, Guo Wufeng in the hearing box couldn't sit still.

  Good guy, this kid surnamed Zhang actually eavesdropped on the door that day.

   In fact, it was not Zhang Wei who was eavesdropping, but Guo Wufeng's voice was so loud that he could hear it standing at the stairs.

   Zhang Wei finished imitating Guo Wufeng and continued to ask: "Have your supervisor said these words?"

   "Yes, there should be..."

   "Then why do I feel that this scoreboard, and my client, have become some kind of quantifiable performance appraisal value?"

Zhang Wei looked at Tan Yingying and saw that the other party didn't speak, but he pointed to the hearing seat and said, "Don't deny it, it happens that your supervisor Guo Wufeng is also in court. If you think you can tell a lie, believe it or not, I will let him come up too? "

   This trick is tough enough!

   Guo Wufeng was about to explode, but after hearing this sentence, his face was completely unable to hold back and twisted into a chrysanthemum.

  The prosecutors behind him looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

   And the lawyers in the next seat all began to whisper and whisper.

Regardless of what other people thought, Zhang Wei in the court continued to ask: "Now, answer my question, Prosecutor Tan Yingying, has my client become a quantitative value for your performance?"

   Zhang Wei approached step by step, and his tone became colder: "Please answer yes or no, and remind you, this is the third time I have asked!"

   Facing his aggressiveness, Tan Yingying finally couldn't bear it anymore, her eyes flushed red, and after a long time she said, "Yes, yes!"

   "Oh~ yes, you actually regard my client as a performance appraisal value. Does it mean that only if you convict him, your performance is good, and if you can't convict, your performance is bad?"

   "No wonder, there will be √ on it, and there will be ×, and my client is ★, I still wonder what this means, it turns out to be a big luck!"

   "Your misdemeanor cases are generally petty crimes, and suddenly a severe sentence comes. Do you think you have won the lottery?"

   Zhang Wei finished his performance and looked at Tan Yingying.

   The latter did not speak, but Zhang Wei continued to ask: "Do you insist on convicting my client because of the performance appraisal, because you want to save the face of your supervisor?"

   "Don't deny it yet, I want to remind you, combined with the testimony you just confirmed, and your admission of what your supervisor said, ask yourself whether you dare to give perjury in court!"

  Tan Yingying immediately shut up, too scared to speak.

   "Now, after you think about it, please answer my question seriously. Is my client convicted because of performance appraisal? Is it to save your supervisor's face?"

   This question also attracted the attention of the audience. Whether it was the jury bench or the hearing bench, even the judges on the bench looked at Tan Yingying and waited for an answer.

   "Yes, yes..." Under the gazes of so many people, Tan Yingying finally responded.

   "You guys, you guys are actually like this, I'm so sad..." Zhang Wei's mouth twitched and his expression was a little sad.

   "But, our office is like this, and the headquarters has always been like this?" Tan Yingying almost cried and argued for herself.

   "But when you convict the suspect, isn't it for justice?"

   Zhang Wei's next sentence made the audience silent!

   As if he didn't understand, he asked again: "Isn't the prosecutor exercising his prosecutorial power for the sake of justice, not for the purpose of judging the guilty but forgiving the innocent?"

   This time, it is a soul torture.

  Tan Yingying was speechless because there were tears in her eyes and she was about to collapse.

   But Zhang Wei didn't plan to let her go, he tortured her soul again, and even raised his voice:

   "What do your misdemeanors take my client as a stepping stone for performance, not a citizen who needs justice?"

   "Prosecutor Tan Yingying, look at me, look at the accompany club, look at the man sitting in the dock!"

"Come and explain to us that the reason why you sued him is based on the law, for justice, justice and the glory of faith, to find the guilty person, not for the so-called performance, the so-called protection of your family supervisor face!"

   "Say it, do you dare to say it, tell everyone that you are such a person who pursues justice, do you dare to say it!!!"

   Facing Zhang Wei's roar, Tan Yingying couldn't stand it anymore, she broke her defense and cried bitterly in court.

   "Woooooo... I, I, woo woo... I don't know, I don't know, woo woo..."

   She raised her head and saw Zhang Wei's eyes widened, staring at himself.

  Tan Yingying lowered her head again, tears could not stop flowing.

   On the other hand, Zhang Wei was completely comfortable. After so long, he was finally released at this moment.

   After roaring this voice, I am in a good mood~

   He looked towards the hearing booth and saw Guo Wufeng snorted coldly and walked out of the courtroom quickly.

  This place, he can't continue to stay, because he has to watch Zhang Wei pretend to be coercive in court, but he can't stop it, it's really tormenting.

   At the prosecution table, Xiao Baihe couldn't bear seeing Tan Yingying's pain, but he couldn't stop it.

   If she acts, she will be sentenced to contempt of court, and she can only leave the venue with hatred.

   But she did not expect that Zhang Wei's question could actually make Tan Yingying break the defense, which is not something a small lawyer can do.

   And other people in the court, watching Tan Yingying weeping bitterly, naturally have different expressions.

   They never thought that the court trial could break the prosecutor's defense, and they cried bitterly in court!

   Of course, this is also related to Tan Yingying's weak temperament. If it is replaced by a strong-minded person, naturally it cannot be done.

   Now Tan Yingying is crying and Zhang Wei is finished, so naturally it can end.

   "Prosecutor Tan Yingying, I'm sorry. The question you asked just now touched something in your heart and made you feel guilty. It's my fault. I'm here to apologize to you again!"

   "But it's court time now, please take your tears away and don't waste everyone's precious time."

   "Well, I'll take back the question just now. Next is your question time. If you want to ask and answer your own questions, please..."

   Zhang Wei said and returned to his position.

   As for Tan Yingying, she finally held back her tears, but it is obviously impossible to ask her own questions.

   This is the advantage of summoning the opponent, so that the opponent cannot cross-examine!

   This trick is called Shrimp Pork Heart!

   After Tan Yingying finally returned to her position, Zhang Wei stood up again.

   "Your Honor, the defense has no more witnesses to call!"

  From beginning to end, Zhang Wei did not intend to let the defendant Lin Xiao appear in court for questioning, and this did not give the prosecution any chance at all.

   "Okay, since that's the case, the closing arguments will begin in 30 minutes. Both parties in the trial will go down to prepare, and the court will take a break!"

   Judge Wang took off his glasses and began to wipe them.

   Zhang Wei brought the defendant Lin Xiao, his wife Chen Lan, and Zhang Hui into the conference room together.

   Tan Yingying on the other side was also led off by Xiao Baihe, but before leaving, Xiao Baihe glared at Zhang Wei fiercely, but Zhang Wei smiled back at her.

   "This **** guy, made Yingying cry in front of so many people, yet dared to laugh at me!"

  Xiao Lily's teeth are itchy, but there is nothing she can do.

  …

   After 30 minutes, the court will start again.

   After Chen Yingying took the lead in making the closing speech, it was finally Zhang Wei's turn.

   He immediately got up, walked into the court, and said very seriously:

   "I want to ask everyone, what is justice?"

   As soon as these words came out, in the eyes of everyone in the audience, the soul torture just now appeared again.

  Because the inspector was asked by the other party and cried, this scene is really memorable, so that when they heard this question, they all thought of the picture subconsciously.

   "Justice is actually very simple. Doing the right thing is justice, but sometimes it is difficult to achieve, because what is right and what is wrong requires a clear line."

"I want to ask you again, what is the cause of the deceased's death? Brain death! There are many reasons that can lead to brain death. For a person who fights all day long and drinks alcohol, what do you think caused his brain death? Did you fall down on the road, because you got drunk and fell, or because you had a fight with a friend or neighbor, and finally got so angry that there was nowhere to vent?"

   "There are many reasons for brain death, and even forensic doctors can't determine what caused Wei Hong's death, but..."

   Zhang Wei said this, raised a finger and pointed at Tan Yingying:

"But Tan Yingying, a rookie prosecutor from the Minor Crime Division, told us all the reasons she identified, because my client Lin Xiao pushed Wei Hong on Thursday night, causing the latter to die on Sunday night three days later. I decided that my client was the murderer, so this is the justice determined by the Misdemeanor Division!"

"I think everyone can hear it. They didn't even identify the specific cause of death, and they didn't even think about why Wei Hong fell to the ground because he fell, how much alcohol he drank that day, didn't he know that in his heart? Is that a count?"

"In my opinion, the misdemeanor department is looking for someone to convict, to achieve some ambition in their hearts, such as putting a big ★ on the performance column on the scoreboard, in order to let their supervisors Colleagues at headquarters have face in front of them, and so on..."

   "So I want to ask, is her action about justice?"

   Zhang Wei came to the jury and smiled bitterly: "If you say this is justice, then I have nothing to say!"

"But please think about it, if my client Lin Xiao was convicted today, then suddenly one day someone from the Wushu Association came to your door and said that they were going to take you away and asked you to go back and assist in the investigation. The reason is because Do you think you'd accept that when you were riding your bike so fast last week that you scared an old granny on the side of the road, and then the granny died three days later, and then you were identified as a murderer?"

   "So everyone, please feel your conscience and ask yourself, what is justice?"

  Zhang Wei touched his chest and emphasized it again: "Let us feel the beating of our hearts, let us confirm that we are a living person, and then ask ourselves, what is justice, what is justice in tm!"

   "Cough cough, lawyers, please pay attention to your words and deeds!" In the court, Judge Wang coughed.

   "Sorry, Your Honor, I'm so excited, but my closing statement is officially over!"

  Zhang Wei quickly apologized, but after nodding to the jury bench, he returned to the defense bench.

   "The closing arguments of both parties have been presented, and the court is temporarily adjourned..."

   As the judge and jurors entered the conference room one after another, the entire courtroom was tense.

   "Lawyer Zhang, you've worked hard..." The defendant Lin Xiao was at a loss for words.

   "Brother, your closing statement is too powerful." Zhang Hui was equally surprised.

   If it was herself, it would be absolutely impossible to say such a closing statement, which is definitely not something a newcomer can come up with.

   "Don't worry, the judge is on our side!" Zhang Wei returned a confident smile to the two of them.

   "Why do you say that?" Zhang Hui was puzzled.

   Zhang Wei raised a finger: "It's very simple, there is a basic concept of human rights protection in criminal trials, that is, there is never a suspicion of a crime!"

   "There is no doubt about the crime..."

  Zhang Hui muttered several times, then nodded heavily.

   Suspected guilt never!

   At this stage, everyone's evidence is unable to conclude that Lin Xiao is the murderer, and it was Lin Xiao's push that caused Wei Hong's death, so if it is judged that there is no suspected crime, he will not be the murderer.

  Although the people on the bench may not know this article, the judge must know it, and this concept will also be raised during the final trial deliberations.

  Lin Xiao glanced at his wife in the hearing box, and couldn't help but ask, "So lawyer Zhang, how long will they have to discuss?"

   "It should be very soon, but I can't guess. After all, no lawyer can guarantee 100% about the jury!"

   This is also true. The jury is composed of 12 people with different personalities. Even the most powerful lawyer cannot guess the inner thoughts of 12 people.

   He also can't control the thoughts of 12 people, so at the last moment, he can only resign himself to fate.

  Fortunately, the jury negotiated within 30 minutes

   Just under everyone's nervous anticipation, the chief juror announced loudly:

   "After discussion by our jury, in this verdict of manslaughter causing accidental death, due to insufficient evidence provided by the prosecution, we ruled that the defendant Lin Xiao's manslaughter charge... is not valid!"

   "Oye!"

   When the words "not established" appeared, Lin Xiao jumped up.

   Zhang Hui showed a relieved expression.

   On the hearing stand, there were some happy and some sad, the lawyers were so happy, and some even applauded.

   And the prosecutors of the misdemeanor department are all like deflated balls, without energy.

   At the prosecution table, Tan Yingying almost couldn't help crying again, while Xiao Baihe's expression was extremely complicated.

   She looked at the defense booth and saw Zhang Wei shaking hands with Lin Xiao, then walked to the hearing booth, met Xia Qianyue and hugged on the spot.

   "Zhang Wei, I remember you!"
