Chapter 121 The Witness in Court Is Actually Mentally Ill?
"Our legal claims are as follows:"
The defendant's lawyer Shen Qing said calmly.
"1: Our client, "Jingtian District Love Welfare Home", has never abused residents and does not accept accusations from any organization or individual! "
"Two: The plaintiff's accusation against us has neither factual basis nor legal basis. It is truly a false accusation."
"We hereby file a counterclaim and ask the court to sentence the plaintiff to the crime of false accusation and frame-up according to law!"
"Three: The plaintiff's false accusations caused the welfare home to suffer serious economic and reputational losses."
"We require the plaintiff to compensate for the losses, apologize, and eliminate the impact!"
Shen Qing filed the same lawsuit as Lin Hao.
It's also the same simplicity.
One for defense, one for counterattack, and one for claim.
Every point is clear and concise.
Although it didn't explode like Lin Hao.
But every one of them is exactly on point.
It can be considered quite satisfactory.
In fact, Shen Qing's performance made Lin Hao pay more attention to it.
opponents encountered in the past.
After making exaggerated claims of his own.
They will all take the opportunity to find fault and suppress them.
Then when one's own party files a lawsuit, it will be appropriately exaggerated.
But his lawsuit claims today have been exaggerated to the extreme.
His opponent Shen Qing made no move.
Even the lawsuit claims are so commonplace.
Just let him continue to be so arrogant.
It can be seen that this Shen Qing is a very stable person!
A person who can remain so calm under such circumstances.
It must not be that easy to deal with!
He is worthy of being a gold medal lawyer in the Red Circle Firm!
Sure enough, he has seen the big world!
There was a lot of fun in this court hearing today!
Don't know why.
Lin Hao suddenly felt eager to try.
On the judgment seat.
The presiding judge Gongsun Hui saw that both parties had finished explaining their claims.
And neither side seemed to have any intention of questioning the other.
Then the next stage started directly.
Gongsun Hui said expressionlessly.
"Next, proceed to the stage of evidence and cross-examination."
"The plaintiff is requested to provide corresponding evidence regarding his claims and the facts on which they are based."
Lin Hao nodded slightly and said.
"Presiding judge, we request to summon witnesses."
Chief Judge Gong Sunhui asked.
"Lawyer Lin, how many witnesses do you plan to call first?"
Lin Hao said respectfully.
"Presiding judge, please help us summon witness No. 1 to appear in court first."
The presiding judge Gong Sunhui nodded and then banged the gavel.
"Call Witness No. 1 to appear in court!"
Three minutes later.
An old woman who was trembling even as she walked was helped onto the witness stand by two bailiffs.
This trembling old woman is none other than Miao Luping, who sought help from the Legal Aid Center a while ago.
After the scribe confirmed Miao Luping's identity information.
The presiding judge Gong Sunhui asked, holding a piece of material in his hand.
"Ms. Miao Luping, according to the request of the plaintiff "Changhong District Legal Aid Center" in this case, this court has specifically summoned you to appear in court to testify. "
"You have the right to testify in this case based on the facts you know, but you will also bear all possible legal consequences of the testimony you provide."
"I hereby inform you, do you already know?"
Miao Luping didn't speak for a while.
Chief Judge Gong Sunhui said again.
"Miao Luping, as a witness in this case, I have informed you about the rights and obligations of witnesses in court."
"If you already know, please give your answer!"
Miao Luping remained silent.
The presiding judge Gongsun Hui was confused and said it again.
"Miao Luping, please answer yes or no!"
Miao Luping still said nothing.
Miao Luping's silence made Gongsun Hui a little embarrassed.
Gongsun Hui was at a loss for a while.
He looked at Lin Hao, hoping that Lin Hao could give him an explanation.
At this time, Shao Yuan in the dock raised his hand hesitantly.
Shao Yuan said hesitantly.
"Um...presiding judge, Miao Luping has some mental problems."
"The doctor said that her mental condition is not very stable and goes up and down."
When Shao Yuan said this, the audience immediately went into an uproar.
The defendant's lawyer Shen Qing also took the opportunity to raise his hands.
"Presiding Judge, I have an objection."
The presiding judge Gong Sunhui said expressionlessly.
"Defendant's lawyer, please express your objection."
Gongsun Hui stood up and said.
"I question the witness qualifications of the plaintiff's witness No. 1 Miao Luping."
"According to the appraisal of professional institutions, witness Miao Luping suffers from mental illness and cannot be held responsible for the testimony she gave."
"We believe that Miao Luping does not have the qualifications to be a witness and should not be listed as a witness in this case."
"This is the appraisal certificate about Miao Luping's mental condition. Please review it in court."
With that said, Gongsun Hui handed over a piece of material.
With the addition of Shen Qing, and the emergence of supporting materials.
The audience at the scene started talking even more.
Why is this witness a psychopath?
Can mentally ill persons testify in court?
Does Lin Lu not know?
Why did he find a mentally ill person to be a witness?
Discussions like this are endless.
After reading the evidence, the presiding judge Gong Sunhui said.
"According to the identification results shown in this material, the plaintiff's witness No. 1, Ms. Miao Luping, does suffer from intermittent mental illness."
"Does the plaintiff know about this? Does it agree to disqualify Witness No. 1 as a witness?"
Amidst the discussion, Lin Hao said calmly.
"Of course we know that Miao Luping suffers from mental illness."
"However, our country's Criminal Procedure Law clearly stipulates that under certain special circumstances, persons with limited capacity for civil conduct can also appear in court to testify!"
"What's more, Miao Luping is a key witness in this case and plays a vital role in proving the facts of this case!"
"So we insist on letting Ms. Miao Luping appear in court to testify, and we are willing to bear all the legal consequences arising from this!"
"And I must point out that everyone just heard that the presiding judge said that Ms. Miao Luping does suffer from intermittent mental illness."
"You must know that a person with intermittent mental illness can only be regarded as a person with limited capacity for civil conduct during the episode of the illness."
"Under normal circumstances before becoming ill, he is also a person with full capacity for civil conduct and can be fully responsible for his own actions!"
As soon as Lin Hao said this, the discussion in the audience became even more heated.
Unexpectedly, Lin Lu actually knew that she was mentally ill!
Then Lin Lu still dares to let him testify?
Lin Lu can't control whether he gets sick or not, right?
What if I give him a negative testimony?
Lin Lu is so brave!
The court gradually became noisy.
Boom~
The presiding judge Gong Sunhui banged the gavel.
"Please keep quiet!"
Gongsun Hui said seriously.
"Since there is no problem with the qualifications of Witness No. 1 and the plaintiff insists, then please ask Ms. Miao Luping to continue to testify."
