Chapter 234
On the judgment seat.
The presiding judge Wu Lang hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
"The victim has any questions? Please tell me."
Lin Hao asked immediately.
"Presiding judge, there are clearly four defendants today, but why are there only two defense lawyers?"
Presiding judge Wu Lang was a little puzzled.
Lin Hao himself is a professional lawyer.
How could such a procedural question be asked?
However, he patiently explained.
"In principle, one defender is not allowed to defend more than two co-defendants."
"This is mainly because the status, role and interests of different defendants in the same case are different. There are both consistent aspects and conflicting aspects."
"If a lawyer defends two defendants at the same time, he may be in a contradictory situation, making it difficult to fully protect the legitimate rights and interests of the two defendants, and may even harm the interests of one of the parties."
"However, there are special circumstances, that is, when two defendants have the same status, role, and interests, one defender can defend both defendants at the same time!"
Lin Hao smiled lightly.
"I see."
"That means the defendant Wu Gang and the defendant Tang Ao."
"They have the same status, role and stake in this case!"
"Then I have to ask lawyer Guan Zhen."
As he said this, Lin Hao and Guan Zhen looked at each other.
Both of their eyes were extremely sharp.
His eyes were full of swords and swords.
Lin Hao continued.
"Lawyer Guan, you just said that the two defendants did not join forces to kill me, but murdered me separately."
"Simply because they each assassinated me at the same time on the same day."
"If this is the case, how can defendant Wu Gang and defendant Tang Ao share the same defender?"
"If there is no collusion between them, how can they be considered to have the same status, role and interests?"
"What's more, hiring a lawyer is their own initiative."
"Did they all hire you, Attorney Guan, to defend them after the case happened?"
"Lawyer Guan, do you think this kind of argument makes sense?"
Guan Zhen shook his head and said.
"What doesn't make sense?"
"My reputation in the Yanjing legal community is not small. Is it a particularly strange thing that they found me at the same time?"
Lin Hao smiled slightly.
“Lawyer Guan is so humble!”
"Lawyer Guan is not only well-known in the Yanjing lawyer community, but also in the entire Xia Kingdom lawyer community, you are second to none!"
"After all, you are the current president of the Xia State Lawyers Association! The lawyer community recognizes you as the number one lawyer in the Xia State!"
"The two defendants are both well-established billionaires. It's not surprising that they want to hire the best lawyer in Xia State when something happens."
"But the strange thing is that they actually agreed to let you defend them both at the same time!"
"You must know that criminal defense is a major matter related to whether you will be prosecuted for criminal liability."
"If the two of them had not colluded with each other in this case, would they have agreed to bind their interests together?"
"As the presiding judge just said, once the interests of the two defendants conflict, it may harm the interests of one of them."
"With their status, they can hire another top lawyer from Xia State to defend themselves."
"There is no need to take such a big risk to tie up interests!"
"There is only one reason why they can be so relieved to share the same defense lawyer, and that is that the assassination was carried out by the two of them together!"
"So, there is no need to try this case separately!"
As soon as Lin Hao said this.
The audience was buzzing with excitement.
The audience at the scene nodded in agreement.
All netizens in the live broadcast room also said.
"Lin Lu said it well! How dare you use the same defense lawyer if there is no conspiracy!"
"Damn it, I was scared to death! This lawyer Guan is so awesome! He deserves to be the president of the Lawyers Association! He almost caused two cases!"
"Yes! If we really want to divide the cases into two and retry them at a later date, maybe something will go wrong!"
"It's really hard to say! There's a reason why the lawyer hasn't lost in this case for twenty years!"
"Even in the face of overwhelming evidence, you can still come up with such a strategy to delay time. It's really amazing!"
"However, we, Lin Lu, are still stronger! We can resolve the crisis in just a few words!"
"Hehe, it's necessary! Who is our Lin Lu? A god-like figure! But those two billionaires are in trouble, they shot themselves in the foot! Haha!"
"…………"
The scene of the trial.
The expressions of the three people in the dock, who had just calmed down, became panicked again.
Especially Wu Gang and Tang Ao.
A look of annoyance.
Guan Zhen, the number one lawyer in the Xia Kingdom, was not easy to hire.
This time I finally agreed to defend them.
They thought they could better protect themselves this way.
I didn't expect there to be such a problem.
Tang Ao reacted quickly and retorted immediately.
"You said it was a conspiracy, is it a conspiracy?"
"We have been business partners for a long time and have established a deep friendship with each other."
"Can't we just trust each other?"
Wu Gang also immediately agreed.
"Mr. Tang is right!"
"Mr. Tang and I have been friends for many years. How can you guess the friendship between us?"
"We did assassinate you separately, but after the incident, we found that you were our common enemy, so we agreed to share a defense lawyer!"
"If you don't believe it, you can ask Mr. Bao to see if I asked them to join forces!"
Lin Hao laughed disdainfully.
"Ask Mr. Bao?"
"He is your most loyal lackey! Is there any point in asking him?"
Tang Ao quickly said.
"Then ask that foreign woman!"
"She is just a killer. Now the mission has failed. She has no need to lie!"
In the trial seat.
The presiding judge Wu Lang asked.
"Sting, are they telling the truth?"
"Sting" spread his hands and said.
"We can only contact the employer through the website, and they really didn't tell me to join forces with others."
"And, even if they said that, I definitely wouldn't do it!"
"I don't want them to find some low-class people to mess with me!"
Tang Ao said immediately after hearing this.
"Look!"
"I said I didn't ask them to join forces, didn't I?"
Lin Hao shook his head and smiled.
"You didn't let "Stinger" join forces with others because you know that killers like them won't listen to your commands."
"That doesn't mean you really didn't join forces!"
"In fact, I just happen to have a call recording here, which can prove whether you have joined forces or not!"
Hearing this, Tang Ao and Wu Gang's faces changed again.
Call recording?
Ours?
Impossible?
Our calls are so confidential!
It's impossible to leak out!
Lin Hao picked up the phone and asked the presiding judge.
"Presiding Judge, can you allow me to play this recording?"
Presiding Judge Wu Lang nodded.
"Yes. ”
Lin Hao clicked play and turned up the volume on his phone.
The conversation between Wu Gang and Tang Ao resounded in the courtroom.
