Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Chapter 614: First witness, are you drunk?

   Civil Court, scene.

   Zhang Wei got up slowly and then announced:

   "The prosecution has called the first witness, please Mr. Yao to testify in court!"

   Under his summons, a man in a red suit and a weird tie walked up to the courtroom.

   "Hey, isn't this the weird bartender, I've even seen his video?"

   "When you say that, I'm really impressed. Isn't he the internet celebrity?"

   "Yeah, I've seen his videos too. I heard that he seemed to imitate foreign wine tasters at first, and he posted a few videos that became popular, and he has a lot of fans!"

  In the hearing box, seeing the man appearing in court, many people talked about it.

   "Hello, Mr. Yao."

   "Hello, Lawyer Zhang."

  Zhang Wei greeted the visitor, then smiled and said, "Mr. Yao, please introduce yourself, your relationship with this case and the defendant."

  Mr. Yao glanced at the dock, then swept his eyes across the audience and said, "I'm an Internet celebrity bartender. Last Saturday's youth elite gathering, the organizer invited me to be the bartender at the reception."

   As soon as these words came out, Wu Renjie and Xiao Momoji, who were sitting on the defense table, looked at each other, the former was stunned, but the latter was confused.

   "Sure enough, it's him, I'll say this red suit looks familiar!"

   Wu Renjie has already reacted, and it seems that he did meet each other at the scene on Saturday night.

  Mr. Yao, invited by the organizer of the Youth Elite Gala, was the live bartender that night.

   So, he was also there, and saw Wu Renjie and Xiao Momoji.

   "At that time they drank a lot, really a lot, and I kept ordering wine at my place, almost never stopping!"

   "Mr. Yao, do you remember what happened to these two that night?"

   Zhang Wei said, pointing to Xiao Momoji and Wu Renjie.

   "Of course, the two of them were my main guests that night, and the others didn't drink as exaggeratedly as they did. How could I forget!"

   Zhang Wei nodded, then pointed at little Momoji, "This guy, how much did you drink that night?"

  The witness glanced at Little Momoji, then shook his head and said with emotion: "Let's talk about 15 cups, maybe more, anyway, he was dizzy at the end of the drink..."

   "Then do you think such a person can drive away from the party scene?"

   "Drive, don't make fun of it, don't talk about driving, it may be difficult to walk!"

  Mr. Yao smiled, raised a finger, and explained, "If the average person drinks 15 glasses, I ask him how many fingers he has. Do you think they will answer?"

   Many people on the jury blinked curiously, but there were also a few middle-aged men who nodded knowingly, obviously they had hangover experience.

   "After 15 glasses of belly, it's still my drink. They won't answer one, two, three, but directly four, five, or six. They're so drunk, who dares to let them drive!"

  The witness said, spread his hands, and smiled.

   "That is to say, in your eyes, it is absolutely impossible for Mr. Momoji to drive, right?"

   "Yeah, unless you're brave enough to go out and want to go to heaven, how can you let him drive!"

   The witness's answer made many people in the courtroom laugh.

   Obviously, little Momoji that night was drunk and almost unconscious. Who would dare to let such a person drive, without stepping on the accelerator to the end, and driving you to a speed of 300km/h?

   What does this speed mean?

   means that there are no ashes left!

   "Objection, hearsay evidence!"

   The witness's words made Ren Xingzhou unable to sit still, so he got up and interrupted.

"opposite…"

   "The objection is invalid, because this statement complies with the exception to the hearsay rule!"

At the trial seat, Ni Qiuping was about to speak, but Zhang Wei interrupted her directly.

After the interruption, Zhang Wei looked at Ni Qiuping and hurriedly explained: "The witness is making a statement that the defendant will violate the law. Mr. Yao is at the scene and he saw it with his own eyes. This is a direct statement of the defendant's illegal behavior. Objections to hearsay evidence can be waived.”

After adding   , Zhang Wei blinked at the trial seat again: "Lao Ni, you're welcome, I told you!"

   "Thank you, Lawyer Zhang!" Ni Qiuping gritted his teeth and said "thank you" word by word.

   "You're welcome, old Ni, this is what I should do!" Zhang Wei was shameless again.

  Little bastard!

  Ni Qiuping scolded inwardly, but still controlled her face tense, and said to Ren Xingzhou: "Lawyer Ren, you have also heard the "exceptional hearsay" that Lawyer Zhang said? "

"When a certain hearsay evidence is credible and necessary, and it is used as evidence, the hearsay evidence can be adopted as evidence to prove the truth of the case! Obviously, the witness Mr. Yao has been interviewing all night. The bartender knew how much alcohol they drank, so this court believes that this hearsay evidence can be adopted as court evidence!"

   Ni Qiuping explained in court the basis of what Zhang Wei said in order to block everyone's mouths.

   For a while, many people in the courtroom nodded subconsciously.

   Some of them have never heard of it, but the truth is that the testimony of the witnesses is true and can be accepted as evidence.

After    understood the meaning, everyone looked at Little Momoji, who was obviously drinking too much that day.

  Then according to what the witness said, this guy was almost drunk to death, who would dare to let him drive?

   So, someone else is driving the car…

  The jury, the hearing box, almost everyone locked their eyes on Wu Renjie.

   There were only two people in the car at that time, and little Momoji couldn't drive the car, so who can drive the car, it's only you!

   Therefore, the person who injured Lu Ma, the injured person in this case, is your martial artist!

   For a time, such an idea occurred in everyone's mind.

   "Very good!" Zhang Wei understood, this was the purpose of calling the first witness.

   His eyes turned to Ren Xingzhou, and he saw the flickering in the eyes of this group of people.

   "I didn't expect that, the Wu family got the monitoring equipment on the road, and even got the dash cam of the vehicles near the street that night, and got the probes and witnesses, but they forgot the most important party scene!"

   I have to say that the people of the Wu family are all warriors, and their minds are not meticulous enough.

  The place where the car accident happened was Sifangmen Street, so they sent out their hands and swept all the evidence around the scene.

   But they were left behind at the gathering of young elites. Some people saw Xiao Momoji and Wu Renjie at the scene with their own eyes, and the witnesses here actually played a role.

   "Judge Ni, regarding the witness Mr. Yao, we have no problem for now!"

   Zhang Wei said, the person has already walked back to the prosecution seat.

   "Zhang Wei, you are amazing, the first witness proved them guilty!"

   Zhang Xinwu was very excited and had a happy face.

   "Sister Wu, can you please calm down, this is the first witness, do you really think you can beat them to death?"

   Zhang Wei chuckled, Zhang Xinwu, have you been to court too few times and have not experienced the sophistry of professional lawyers.

  In court, even if you have proven the truth, a good lawyer can always find flaws.

  What is black can tell you what is white, not to mention the so-called truth?

   Therefore, Zhang Wei looked at the defense table with cold eyes, he wanted to see how Ren Xingzhou made a move.

   At this moment, Ren Xingzhou is preparing to appear in court.

   "Boss, why don't you let me come!"

One of the    trio, Lawyer Shen volunteered.

   "This is the first witness. If you let Boss Ren do it yourself, wouldn't it be too cheap? I am confident that I can refute the witness's accusation!"

   "Alright, let's go!"

  Ren Xingzhou also thought about it, Lao Tzu is the boss of the lawyer group, although Bai Meiqi is no longer here, but there are still three people available under him, so it's better to let them take the lead.

   How can the two armies just start fighting, and the coach will directly charge into the battle?

   "Go ahead and teach them a lesson!"

  Ren Xingzhou waved his hand, and Lawyer Shen got up to the court.

   "Hello everyone, I'm lawyer Shen, one of the defense lawyers, and the head of the Litigation Department of Jincheng Law Firm!"

   Attorney Shen introduced himself before coming to the witness stand.

   "Witness, are you the bartender at the Young Elite Gala?"

"Yes."

   "Apart from you, are there any other bartenders at the scene?"

"there is none left."

   "So how many guests are there at the party?"

   "I haven't counted them, but I'll do a rough calculation. Let's say there are more than 100 people!"

   "Then you have to mix drinks for more than 100 people, won't you be too busy?"

   "No, because there were a lot of self-prepared drinks at the scene, and the only guests who actually drank the wine prepared on the spot were only the two in the dock, and there were very few, so I wasn't really busy that day."

  The witness said, adding: "That night was a party for young elites. It was a place for those young elites to communicate. It was not a bar scene. Many people were expanding their circle of friends. There were really not many people who came to drink."

   Attorney Shen frowned, obviously the answer from the witness was not what he wanted.

   He looked back and saw that Ren Xingzhou's eyes were a little unfriendly.

   He knew that he had to show some results!

   Attorney Shen's out of the corner of his eyes, then glanced at Wu Renjie, and he had an idea in his heart.

Lawyer Shen rolled his eyes, and continued to ask after thinking: "witness, you were the bartender that night. According to what you said, you were dressing Mr. Momoji all night, as well as our client, Young Master Wu Renjie? "

   "Almost." The witness replied, looking at the defense table.

   Attorney Shen heard this vague answer, his face tightened immediately, and his tone increased: "I'm asking you, yes, you only need to answer yes or no!"

   When asked this, the witness's tone was a little frightened, but he still reluctantly responded: "Yes..."

   "Then let me ask you, how many cups did Mr. Momoji drink?"

   "At least 15 glasses, he didn't listen to it after he sat down, and he drank all the wine I mixed."

   "Then what about our client, Young Master Wu Renjie, how many cups did he drink?"

"this…"

  The witness was caught up in his memories.

   He remembered that that night, the two of them didn't stop much. Little Momoji drank a lot, as if the martial artist sitting next to him drank a lot.

   "At least 13 cups, because I remember he went to the toilet once, so he drank two or three less."

   "So that means, not only Mr. Momoji drank a lot of wine, but Master Wu Renjie also drank a lot?"

"Yes."

   "13 cups, if this amount goes down, how drunk will the average person be?"

   "According to the degree of raw wine provided at the party, let alone 13 glasses, it is a problem whether ordinary people can last 10 glasses."

   "Then why did both of them exceed 10 cups?"

   "This, I don't know..." The witness spread his hands and looked strange.

   This question is indeed beyond the scope.

   It can only be said that the constitution of people cannot be generalized.

   "Could that be the case? In fact, the wine you brewed doesn't have many degrees. You think you can get drunk, but in fact you think highly of yourself."

   Attorney Shen said, pointing to Wu Renjie on the defense table and asking, "After drinking at least 13 cups, did our client get drunk?"

   "This, it doesn't seem to exist."

  The witness glanced at Wu Renjie and shook his head, "I seem to have complained that night. Your client's alcohol intake is really strong, and you can walk without shaking after drinking so much!"

   "If Young Master Wu Renjie is not drunk, how do you judge that Mr. Momoji is drunk?"

   "Impossible, he is really drunk, he can't even talk when he walks, if there is no one to support him, he will fall on the ground after walking a few steps. How can you say he is not drunk?"

   "Maybe Mr. Momoji has a special physique. At first, he just sat for a long time and his legs were numb, but after walking a few steps, he adjusted back!"

   Attorney Shen said, without giving the witness a chance to refute, he quickly asked, "Witness, have you been working at the bar that night?"

   "Yes, always there."

   "After Mr. Momoji and Young Master Wu Renjie left, didn't you see them?"

   "Sure."

   "That's it. After they left, you didn't see Mr. Momoji unable to move around, and you didn't see Mr. Wu Renjie drunk. How dare you say they're all drunk?"

   "But they drank so much that they..."

   "The physique of people cannot be generalized!"

   Attorney Shen took out the excuse he had prepared for a long time, and retorted: "Mr. Momoji is drunk or not, in fact, you don't know at all, right?"

  "This..." The witness didn't know how to answer.

   "Witness, did you see Mr. Momoji's confusion and even nausea?"

"No."

   "Then have you seen Mr. Momoji sleeping soundly after a hangover, or talking madly after drinking?"

"nor."

   "Then did you see that Mr. Momoji felt that he was too drunk to drive, so he asked my client to do it for him?"

   "Definitely not, I'm at the bar, how can I see the parking lot."

   "That's fine, you can't see anything, and it's too arbitrary to make a judgment based on how much alcohol you've drunk!"

   Attorney Shen said, his face tightened, and his tone was not good: "I see you, it is clear that you are deliberately guiding the jurors with lies and trying to attack our client!"

   "I was wronged!"

  The witness was completely frightened, and hurriedly shook his head in denial.

   "Huh, who knows, maybe you will be threatened by a famous murder lawyer and have to come up and testify!"

   Attorney Shen finally sneered and gave Zhang Wei a meaningful look.

   "Judge Ni, what are the defense attorneys planning to do, to slander me in front of the entire court, is this a proper slander?"

   "Sorry, Your Honor, I retract my last statement!"

   Seeing that Zhang Wei moved out of Ni Qiuping to preside over justice, Lawyer Shen naturally apologized directly.

   However, the corners of his mouth were still filled with a sneer, obviously he had dealt with this first step.

  Ni Qiuping glanced at Lawyer Shen, her eyes seemed to say again: You kid, be careful with my mother, and next time, I will definitely kill you!

   "There will be no next time, there are other people in our team!" Lawyer Shen smiled disdainfully and didn't care at all.

   After all, he only took the lead, and he achieved good results. This performance is enough for Boss Ren to remember himself.

   Maybe today's court trial can still be heard by the big boss, then he can be regarded as a wave of face under the big boss's attention, so it is not a loss.

   "Your Honor, for this witness, my cross-examination is over!"

   Attorney Shen was complacent, ended the cross-examination, and then returned to the defense stand.

   "Boss Ren, Young Master Wu, fortunately not to be humiliated!"

   "Well, Lawyer Shen, your performance is good!"

  Ren Xingzhou was naturally very satisfied with Lawyer Shen's performance.

   worthy of being one of his subordinates, this cross-examination not only perfectly resolved the accusations against Xiao Momoji and Wu Renjie, but also severely damaged the validity of the testimony of the witnesses.

   And this was just the beginning, it severely frustrated Zhang Wei's spirit.

   Attorney Shen has performed well. As the leader of the team, he is naturally a good leader.

   This incident was passed into the ears of the big boss, and it was a good thing to give himself a face.

   Wu Renjie and Xiao Momoji also nodded unconsciously.

   Both have to admit that the lawyers of Jincheng Law Firm have several brushes.

  Although Zhang Wei is very powerful, our strength is not weak, let's see who is afraid of who!

   The defense is full of confidence this time, and they don't think Zhang Wei has other strong witnesses.

  Come on, let's see what you can do, Zhang Wei!

   "Lawyer Zhang, do you still have witnesses?"

   "Yes, we called the second witness to testify in court!"

   Under Ni Qiuping's questioning, Zhang Wei got up and called the second witness.

   Soon, a boy wearing a waiter uniform with a detained face walked into the court.

   Under the watchful eyes of the audience, he sat on the witness stand.

   "Hello, witness, please introduce yourself."

   "I'm the doorman of Dongfangdu International Hotel."

   Zhang Wei explained to the jury: "The Oriental Capital International Hotel is the host place for the Youth Elite Gala!"

   "Then witness, I want to ask you, were you on duty at the entrance of the hotel last Saturday night?"

   "Yes, I was in charge of welcoming guests that day, and I was always at the door of the hotel."

   "Okay, please tell me, did you see the two defendants that night?"

   "I see!"

   "At night, the two of them went to the parking lot to pick up the car. Their car was a red Ferrari supercar. May I ask who was in the driver's seat?"

"It's him!"

  The witness glanced at Xiao Momoji and Wu Renjie, then raised his finger to Wu Renjie with a look of affirmation.

   That night, he did see that it was Wu Renjie driving.

   And the testimony of the witnesses surprised the whole court.

   There are really witnesses!
