Chapter 213: Talking About Love and Cases (Part 9)

Xu Xiaoli found that the bar manager was sitting in the witness stand with a stiff posture, his hands unconsciously rubbing his pants, and he seemed very nervous. She caught his eyes looking at the audience, but she did not turn her head, but let go of her consciousness and observed carefully. She found that the witness was looking in the direction of Zhao Guotian.

So he was bribed! "Witness, when and where did the defendant tell you that she found a sponsor? When you are just ordinary colleagues, why didn't she tell you instead of others? The confession you recorded at the police station did not mention the sponsor. You must know that perjury is illegal!" In the absence of definite evidence, she could only stimulate the other party's emotions, "By the way, witness, the watch on your wrist costs 200,000. As far as I know, you are still paying off your mortgage and car loan. How did you buy it? Or is this one of the rewards for your perjury?"

The bar manager covered his watch and shouted at her: "I did not perjure!"

"I object! Your Honor, I object to the defense lawyer's personal testimony. People speculate and question the witness. "

Xu Xiaoli said to the judge: "Your Honor, the witness's testimony at the police station and in court is not consistent with the central meaning, and the image of the defendant described by him is inconsistent with what other witnesses in the bar said. In addition, the witness suddenly wore accessories that were inconsistent with his spending power, which was also very suspicious. I implore your Honor to disqualify him as a witness. "

The judge looked through the previous records and identity information of the bar manager, and looked at the overall progress of the case. After thinking for a while, he said: "The prosecution's objection is invalid! Allow the witness to be disqualified."

Xu Xiaoli also summoned several witnesses she found privately, confirming that Zhao Chen was a second-generation ancestor who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. He acted without scruples and even took drugs! Since Zhao Guotian wanted to convict Feng Jiaman by discrediting her, she could also use Zhao Chen's badness to increase Feng Jiaman's sympathy.

The last witness was the young master of the Fang Group. He also often went to that bar to play. Sometimes when he met Zhao Chen, he would sit together and drink and chat. When asked about Zhao Chen and Feng Jiaman, he shrugged and said, "Originally, Feng Jiaman was just a waiter, and no one would pay attention to her. But Zhao Chen lost a bet that day and was asked to get the first person who came in. Feng Jiaman happened to come in to deliver beer, and she became Zhao Chen's prey."

Xu Xiaoli asked, "So Zhao Chen's entanglement with Feng Jiaman is not out of true pursuit?"

"Oh, of course not. Zhao Chen said more than once when drinking that he didn't like this kind of porridge and side dishes at all, and said that Feng Jiaman was ignorant and didn't give him face, and he would dump her after getting her. By the way, one day he heard someone else The waiter said Feng Jiaman was going to resign, and told us angrily that it was not his style to delay for so long, and he should be tough on such a woman, and he would deal with it immediately. "

"Witness, why didn't you stop him?"

"Please, he just said to be tough, who knew he would do that? We went to sing K after drinking that day, and we didn't know that he was in trouble until a few days later."

Xu Xiaoli smiled and saluted the judge, "Your Honor, I'm done."

Fang Ye held the pen in his hand, read the information from beginning to end again, sighed, and began to speak his closing statement.

"…Even if Mr. Zhao Chen's expression to the defendant was inappropriate, the defendant should not have killed someone. Mr. Zhao Chen was in the golden period of his life, about to inherit the family business, and had a bright future, but he lost his life because of a wrong idea. My client, Mr. Zhao Guotian, lost his only son at the age of nearly 60, and was heartbroken. The family business he had worked hard for decades had no successor, which was a huge blow to him! I implore your honor to sentence the defendant to excessive self-defense."

After listening to the other party's closing statement, Xu Xiaoli stood up and said sincerely: "Dear judge, jury, my client, Ms. Feng Jiaman, accidentally killed a villain who was intending to rape her in self-defense. From the judgment data of the forensic doctor and forensic evidence, it can be seen that my client was extremely frightened and could only reach the fruit plate and fruit knife on the coffee table. The angle at which she stabbed Mr. Zhao Chen back was completely in line with her arm length.

Mr. Zhao Chen only had one wound. My client did not attack again or move the knife after stopping his action. When others rushed into the box to help Mr. Zhao Chen up, she did not show any aggression. This is enough to show that her behavior was just to escape from danger, there was no impropriety, and it did not obviously exceed the limit of counterattack. Mr. Zhao Chen's death was just an accident.

Afterwards, she was detained by the police and brought to court. She did not receive any psychological counseling in the past half month. She suffered from insomnia every night. As soon as she closed her eyes, she would think of the scene at that time. She was so scared that she shrank in the quilt and lost 5KG in just half a month!

The huge public pressure and mental pain and despair she endured have caused her indelible damage! She is only 20 years old! What are other 20-year-old girls doing? Going to school and enjoying the beauty of youth, but my client, Ms. Feng Jiaman, was forced to face such a serious trial.

My client is innocent. She should not be charged with murder because of a criminal with a long history of bad deeds who intended to rape her. I believe that the law is fair and just. It exists to protect victims and punish real murderers. Only in this way can our society be long-term and peaceful. I implore your honor and the jury to find my client not guilty! "

The jury needed time to vote. During the recess, Zhao Guotian angrily scolded Fang Ye with a gloomy face, "I asked you to come here to tell you to kill that woman! Let him pay for my son's life! What are you doing? Excessive self-defense? Even if you are sentenced to this crime, the maximum sentence is only seven years!"

Fang Ye poured him a glass of water with a good temper and said, "Chairman Zhao, you just saw that the evidence on Xu Xiaoli's side is too sufficient, and our witnesses have been disqualified. There is no way to bring a charge of intentional homicide. "

Jing Bo frowned, not being able to adapt to this kind of behavior where the bad guy complains first, but after all, he and Zhao Guotian are not real relatives, so he couldn't say anything, so he went out and waited on the bench in the hall. Jing Ran and Jiang Huizhu couldn't leave for the sake of their sister Jing Zhi, but they secretly decided to keep a distance from the Zhao family in the future. A family without an heir would soon decline.

In another room, Feng's mother was praying restlessly, while Xu Xiaoli and Chen Yuqi were discussing the shortcomings of this court appearance and the possibility of being acquitted in the end.

Finally, after the court opened, Xu Xiaoli heard the words she wanted to hear the most, "... the jury voted to find the defendant Feng Jiaman not guilty and released her on the spot! "

Jing Bo watched Xu Xiaoli standing there accepting everyone's congratulations and smilingly greeting everyone. He felt that the sharp girl was really different. As a lawyer, the sharp girl had a formal smile on her face and dealt with every incident tactfully. She was still as sharp as before, but she hid this sharpness and wrapped it in a gentle packaging, so that people could not easily feel it and relax their vigilance. I just don't know if this change was because of the harm he had done to her.

Everyone walked out. Zhao Guotian saw the young master of the Fang family who had testified before, and his face instantly sank. The young master of the Fang family smiled at him fearlessly: "Chairman Zhao, your company's stock price seems to have fallen a lot recently. If you need help, you are welcome to come to Fang Group to find me at any time! I'll leave first. Excuse me."

While waiting for the elevator, Jing Zhi saw that Zhao Guotian and his brothers were all gloomy, and said flatteringly: "If it doesn't work this time, we can still appeal. Xu Xiaoli is just lucky. It's only been a year since she wore famous brands and drove a luxury car. She must have been supported by someone to raise her fame. Next time we will find a big lawyer who is good at this kind of lawsuit, and we will definitely be able to overturn the case. "

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Xiaoli and Chen Yuqi came out from the corner. Xu Xiaoli raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhao, I think you should know what it means to speak out of turn. Hong Kong is a place that abides by the law. If you can't provide evidence for what you said, I can sue you for defamation!"

Jingzhi's face turned pale. She was always hypocritical on the surface. It was really rude to be caught on the spot for saying bad things about others.

Zhao Guotian turned his head and stared at Xu Xiaoli with cold eyes and said: "Young man, don't be so impulsive. You should know that if you accidentally offend someone, it is very likely to cause irreversible consequences. "

"Oh? Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Zhao," Xu Xiaoli smiled and nodded, and changed her tone, "But I used to work in the serious crime team, and I know that the law is long and there is no loophole. I believe that anyone who attempts to commit a crime will not escape the punishment of the law, don't you think? Mr. Zhao? "

Zhao Guotian snorted coldly. Xu Xiaoli's elevator arrived first. Xu Xiaoli smiled at them and said, "Then we'll leave first. I hope we won't meet you in court next time. Goodbye."

Jingbo frowned and said to Jingzhi with a bad look on his face, "Aunt, Xilimei is not that kind of person. Don't say that to her again in the future. It's very hurtful!"

Jingzhi felt that he had lost all his face. He shouted in anger, "Kingsley! How can you speak for her? What's wrong with what I said? She is a girl from Yau Ma Tei who has been an intern lawyer for a year and can afford a car worth 500,000 yuan? Not to mention that her clothes are all the latest models this year. If she wasn't kept by someone, how could she have so much money? "

Jiang Huizhu didn't like her attitude towards Jingbo. She pursed her lips and frowned and said, "Anastasia! This is a public place. Pay attention to your cultivation!"

Zhao Guotian also scolded, "I gave you 500,000 yuan, but when you talked to Xu Xiaoli, you only gave her 100,000 yuan? Do you think everyone loves money as much as you do? If you don't know how to do things, how could such an accident happen? "

Jingzhi has always been a little afraid of them, so he quickly shut up, but he couldn't help feeling a little unconvinced, thinking that he would get back at his sister sooner or later.

Jingran saw his sister being scolded, and although his face was ugly, he knew that his sister was wrong, so he sighed and said nothing. Several people left the court in a seemingly harmonious manner.
