Chapter 781 [Chen Xuanfeng's Spring] Happy Lantern Festival
At this time, Sun Yuqing also knew what Zhou Yi wanted to do, but he had no way to stop it. He could only sigh secretly and began his closing argument: "Your Honor, distinguished jurors, the crime of murder is a very bad crime.
Crime, the defendant was seduced by the deceased because of his daughter, and engaged in immoral trading activities..."
There was nothing new in his closing statement. He just repeated the evidence that was favorable to him, inferring that Qin Shuimei pushed Huang Guangming out of the window and fell to his death to vent his anger, and finally asked the jury to convict Qin Shuimei of murder. Ge Meimei
She is a minor, and because the case involves her personal privacy, she has the right to refuse to testify in court. However, during the trial, Qin Shuimei affirmed the fact that Ge Meimei was seduced by Huang Guangming to become a 'chicken'.
Combined with Zhang Shui's testimony, it can be confirmed as fact, so Sun Yuqing can quote it. In this way, it seems that Qin Shuimei has a motive for killing.
"Your Honor, distinguished jurors, I very much agree with what the prosecutor just said..."
Zhou Yi smiled slightly and said: "Yes, the crime of murder is a very bad crime. Because of this, once the crime is convicted, my client, Ms. Qin, will inevitably be sentenced to life imprisonment. Each of us must defend the loss with our lives."
freedom, so we need to be extremely cautious in judging sin and non-crime!”
"The spirit of the rule of law in Xiangjiang is that 'the benefit of the doubt belongs to the defendant.' That is to say, to determine whether a person is guilty, the evidence presented by the prosecution must be able to eliminate all doubts, otherwise the defendant cannot be found guilty."
Zhou Yi's voice was neither high nor low, and his speaking speed was kept slightly faster than a normal person: "The testimonies given by the three witnesses in this case all have obvious doubts. The witness Zhang Shui cannot prove what happened in Room 801.
The truth of the matter; the witness Mr. Lin Hui cannot prove that Huang Guangming fell because my client pushed him; as for the witness Miss Huang Li, she is simply an addict. After taking a large amount of drugs and having hallucinations, she
You can't even control your own behavior, let alone testify?"
"In addition, I must also remind all jurors that the third witness in this case, Ms. Huang, should actually be sitting in the defendant's box like my client!"
Zhou Yi pointed to the defendant's column and said loudly: "According to the testimony of the expert witness, Ms. Huang may have made aggressive actions due to 'environmental inducements' that night. So is it possible that she pushed the deceased? Of course, this possibility
Very small. Just as small as the possibility that my client would kill Huang Guangming. It was only because my client was worried about making a wrong judgment that Ms. Huang was not mentioned, so that instead of becoming a defendant, she became a prosecution witness!
"
"In other words, there are actually two suspects in this case, and they may be the murderers. Of course, it is also possible that the deceased Huang Guangming slipped and fell to his death. This leaves at least three possibilities!" Zhou Yi said: "
To find my client guilty of murder, the prosecution has the obligation to prove that the other two possibilities do not exist, otherwise there will be doubts!"
"In the history of British law, there has been a 'secret room murder case'..."
Zhou Yidao: "In this case, there were two suspects and a corpse in a closed space. Obviously, one of the two suspects must be the real murderer. But the two accused each other of being the murderer.
The prosecution could not prove who told lies, so both of them were ultimately acquitted! This is the spirit of the modern rule of law, and this is the so-called 'it is better to be patient than to be found guilty'! I think, at this moment, all the jurors should have already
We have a decision, that is - my client Qin Shuimei is found not guilty of murder!"
Half an hour later, the jury members returned to the court. Such a short time showed that the jury's opinion should be surprisingly unanimous. For serious crimes such as murder, it is normal for the jury to discuss it all day and night, and even have no choice in the end.
There have been cases where the jury had to be dismissed and then reorganized due to a large majority of opinions.
"Your Honor, we have a result."
The chief juror stood up and said: "We passed with a large vote of 6 to 1. The defendant's murder charge...is not found guilty!"
"The defendant is not guilty of murder. I declare that the defendant will be released in court!"
The presiding judge looked at Zhou Yi with a smile and nodded slightly. She was also a woman.
Sun Yuqing sighed. He packed up his things and left the court without even shaking hands with Zhou Yi. He felt a little aggrieved because he lost the case. Qin Shuimei walked out of the prisoner's column and came to Zhou Yi with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, Zhou Dazhuang.
Thank you……"
"Okay, go home quickly." Zhou Yi said with a smile: "By the way, before you go home, don't forget to pick up your daughter Meimei first. She must miss you very much."
***
Playing a temporary role as a lawyer and talking in court is like a new attempt in life, like a person on a journey, seeing different scenery, which seems to be very good. But to be honest, Zhou Yi is not very used to this kind of overly rational and
Eliminating emotional court arguments, the system gave him the opportunity to peek into a more magical world. The people he met, whether it was Su Dingfang Wangdong or Mingwei Monk Gudao, were all too emotional and full of imagination.
"Seeker of the Tao", Zhou Yi is the same now. If Zhang Hua hadn't been born in a pitiful life, and he was an unreasonable and half-crazy man who had not yet recovered, he would not be a lawyer.
In Zhou Yi's view, this experience has passed away, but he could not imagine that it would lead to some things in the future. In the mouths of Gu Dao and others, it is cause and effect. Moreover, he has been a "guest star" as a lawyer for a few days.
Afterwards, you will have a very strange feeling, like schizophrenia and personality dislocation. Not to mention after getting the idler system, you have rarely felt this way before, and Zhou Yi is not a mental patient.
Lawyers are a very strange group of people who pursue justice, but often stand on the dark side, dealing with the upper class and the lower class of society. They will not easily trust anyone, even themselves. This unique experience may even produce a kind of
Personality distortion makes these people become calm and terrifying. Their rationality can be compared to that of computers, but they gradually lose their unique human sensibility.
Compared with practitioners who regard the pursuit of the mysteries of life as their life goal, these are two extremes. Even the role reversal in the past few days gave Zhou Yi a very uncomfortable feeling. When it comes to the world of mortals, lawyers should be the ones who are the deepest in the world of mortals.
For a kind of person, this is also like a tempering, which cannot be said to be experiential, but it is also mental.
Qin Shuimei was acquitted, and Zhang Hua's mind seemed to be released. He was riding a horse with a spring breeze on his face, his long hair flowing under the jockey's hat. The madman turned into an old handsome guy, which attracted many female horse fans to shout excitedly.
Everyone wanted to sit on Hei Feng's body.
Heifeng is also more energetic. The only person who can fully control this horse is Zhou Yi and Zhang Hua. Even the catkins are almost hot. After running for most of the season, they are not only one with Zhang Hua, but also one with Zhang Hua.
Zhang Hua could feel the change. He snorted excitedly and kicked his legs. Before he started running, a dark red appeared under his black fur.
"Sweaty Black Wind! Wow!"
It is no secret that Heifeng is a bloody horse. Even if the horse fans in the field are not Bole, they are half horse experts. Heifeng has brought them a lot of wealth for most of the season, so they will naturally pay attention to this wild horse.
Compared with the dark horse that was born in the sky, 'Sea Level', although it is dark enough, its mass base is still a bit inferior. It cannot compare with Black Wind's large number of fans and countless human fans.
The horse fans who shouted the loudest were the horse fans of the "Three Groups". Now the underground network jointly founded by Zhou Yi, Li Shuangkai, and He Yingdong has controlled most of the underground horse racing industry in Hong Kong. It has strong service and can make money. If you encounter a horse, you will still lose your head.
It is necessary to give good advice and formulate rules to guide horse racing, a semi-gambling sports activity, towards sports, fun and gambling.
Betting and gambling are very different. The former is a hobby, while the latter is a bad habit. In the era when Tan Niansheng completely controlled the underground horse racing world, betting on horses completely became gambling. Now, Zhou Yi and the others have established an underground network to redirect traffic.
, has achieved an effect that even the Hong Kong Jockey Club cannot achieve. Among them are the influence of the Li family and the He family, as well as the "inside information" revealed by Zhou Yi from time to time. With such a good underground boss, following him is tantamount to
Are you following the party?
When I thought of this, even Gao Jin, the God of Gamblers, wanted to be called the God of Gamblers, but he failed to do what Zhou Yi did.
However, today he is Zhou Yi's opponent and a sympathetic opponent.
ps: Year after year has passed like this, what have we gained, what have we left behind, and what do we need to remember?
In fact, you don’t have to think about it too much. Look at the present and cherish your family. This is your greatest asset; compared with it, wealth, poverty, the ups and downs of life, what do they mean?
