As a Lawyer, You Sent the Judge In?

Chapter 442: The attitude of the collegial panel and the prosecutor’s shocking statement!

 The eve of the court session.

 Everything is ready, and the members of the collegial panel appear in the waiting room.

 Three members of the collegial panel are waiting for the court time to arrive and prepare to enter the court hearing.

 There are three sofas in the entire waiting room, among which Cao Chuan, as the presiding judge, sits on the middle sofa.

Relevant litigation materials are being compiled.

 The other two members of the collegial panel were sitting on the sofas on the left and right respectively.

 Awaiting the court hearing.

 It’s just...the other two judges were obviously hesitant to speak.

 After sorting out the litigation materials, Cao Chuan asked without raising his head:

 “If you have anything to say, just say it directly.”

"This case involves a lot of things. I know you two have something to say, and there's no need to hide it."

 “If you have anything to say, let it be discussed in advance before the trial.”

 “Don’t wait until the trial to have different opinions.”

 This time, Cao Chuan appeared in court to hear the case as the vice president of Kunming Intermediate People's Court.

 The other two judges are the presidents of the First and Second Criminal Divisions respectively.

 For this case, Kunming Intermediate Court attaches great importance to it.

 So it was arranged that the vice-president would appear in court with two criminal division chiefs for the hearing.

 After Cao Chuan finished speaking, Lu Pingyi, the president of the First Criminal Tribunal, cautiously spoke tentatively:

“Dean Cao… I have contacted the city about this case and said that he wanted us to give him a lighter sentence as much as possible.”

“Dean Cao...you should also have received a greeting over there, right?”

“Should we discuss how to give a lighter sentence in this case?”

Lu Pingyi looked at Cao Chuan carefully, wanting to know Cao Chuan's views on this case.

 In fact.

Cao Chuan indeed received the greeting, and it was from the dean himself.

 Tell him that this case must take into account the age of the suspect, as well as the psychology and subjective motives of the criminal.

 Hence may require a lighter sentence.

Don’t Cao Chuan understand what this means?

 As the vice-president of the court, what can’t he understand?

This hint is very obvious, you must understand it!

 What does the dean’s words mean? Don’t you just want him to be given a lighter sentence?

Although this case can be adjudicated leniently, there can be no objection that there is any unfairness of the law or any loopholes in the judgment.

 But what is the key?

 The key thing is that he knew there was something wrong with this trial!

Grapevine news has spread that he, as the vice president, is the presiding judge of this trial.

If he doesn't know this, then he is too incompetent as the vice president.

 Such a problematic case must not be adjudicated on a discretionary basis.

 So this trial must be judged normally.

if not.…

If this case is decided, there will be another big reversal and accountability will be held.

Then it must be traced to him, not to the dean!

Although this sentence won't affect anything, he definitely doesn't want to be punished for no reason and affect his future promotion!

 So in response to the dean’s hint, he only gave one sentence:

“Dean, if you think this case requires a lighter sentence, that’s fine.”

 “This case is for you to decide...”

“I will not participate in the trial of this case! The whole power is left to you, the dean!”

The dean could only smile happily when he heard this.

 After all...he was just greeted.

Definitely not going to do such a thing, and didn’t say much after being rejected.

 So...after hearing what Lu Pingyi said, Cao Chuan directly responded:

"Why don't you say hello? Saying hello can get you to sit in my position?"

“If you think you can get a lighter sentence, then sign your name in the seat of the Lord’s judge.”

 “You will be responsible for anything that happens in the future!”

 “As long as I can, I won’t say anything about this case!”

When Lu Pingyi heard this, he also knew that he was wrong, and quickly waved his hand:

“Dean Cao, I don’t have this idea, I just mentioned it casually.”

"How should this case be judged..."

Cao Chuan nodded slightly and said calmly:

"Um!"

　　"Just judge how you want to judge, it's useless to think so much, don't always think about some messy things!"

 “Get ready for court!”

Hearing Cao Chuan’s warning and reminder, Lu Pingyi nodded slightly:

 “Okay, Dean Cao.”

 But at the same time, Lu Pingyi also thought clearly about this key point.

Someone said hello to him, can he become the deputy dean?

cannot!

Then why do you still need to take this risk?

I definitely won’t memorize it!

 If you can figure it out, then this case will be easy to handle, and how to judge it!

 The three members of the collegial panel quickly adjusted their emotions and entered the court hearing during the court session.

 After Cao Chuan took his seat, he began to read out some information about the court and verify the identities of the members.

 After everything is ready.

 The gavel was struck again and the court was announced: "This case will be heard by the Kunming Intermediate Court."

“Personal identity information verification completed.”

“This case is about a gang of four people including Lin Long, Zhang Shanfeng, Zhang Qi, and Li Liang who forced minors to have sex.”

“And cause him to suffer serious harm, a court hearing will be held.”

“First, let the prosecutor start to state the details of the case, as well as detailed evidence and other content.”

 After Cao Chuan finished speaking.

 This time, the prosecutor Duan Zhao began to make a detailed statement.

 Duan Zhao, as the prosecutor this time, has conducted a general investigation and understanding of this case.

And took over the case from law enforcement agencies and conducted a careful review.

 No major objections were found during the review process.

  In other words... In his opinion, there is not much controversy in this case.

 In fact, for him, this case is also very simple.

 That is to present the corresponding charges of the four defendants who have clear criminal facts, complete evidence chain, and pleaded guilty and accepted punishment.

 Determine whether the circumstances are serious.

 Then comes another recommended sentence.

 In his opinion, this matter is over!

 In this kind of case, if there is actual evidence, then there will be no other problems.

　　It only requires the presiding judge to make a judgment based on the corresponding legal circumstances, and that’s it!

Thinking of this, Duan Zhao began to state: "The chief judge."

“The prosecution’s statement and corresponding cross-examination, as well as the investigation results of the case are as follows:”

“In this case...the four defendants are Lin Long, Zhang Shanfeng, Li Liang and Zhang Qi.”

“Suspected of forcing minors to have sex, and engaging in group coercive behavior.”

“In this case, the circumstances involved were terrible, and the four people’s subjective willingness to commit crimes was very strong.”

“And it caused severe psychological and physical trauma to the victim, who is still receiving treatment in the hospital.”

“And the victim’s family and the victim resolutely refuse to understand.” “Based on this situation, we believe that according to the provisions of our country’s criminal law.”

“Forcing women to have **** involves serious circumstances and should be sentenced harshly.”

“In this case, the four defendants pleaded guilty and accepted punishment. They had a good attitude towards admitting guilt and accepting punishment. However, they did not perform any meritorious service in solving the case. The prosecutor believes that there should be no reduction in sentence.”

“The division of responsibilities in this case is clear. Lin Long is the principal criminal in this case, and others are the accomplices in this case.”

 “According to the severity of the circumstances.”

“The prosecutor recommended the death penalty, life imprisonment, 12 years’ imprisonment, and 11 years and six months’ imprisonment for Lin Long, Zhang Shanfeng, Li Liang, and Zhang Qi respectively.”

“Presiding Judge, the above is the prosecution’s statement.”

The content of Duan Zhao’s statement was simple and clear, directly challenging the principal criminal to the death penalty.

 The recommended sentences for other felons are also very severe!

 It can be seen that the prosecutor judged the circumstances involved in this case to be very serious.

 Otherwise, such a heavy sentence would not have been involved.

to be honest.…

This scene in the trial, especially the scene in which the prosecutor stated the sentence, shocked the defendant’s family.

 Because this is different from the guarantee given to them by Li Xiaoguo’s family!

 What did Li Xiaoguo’s family say?

 They are talking about guaranteeing a lighter sentence, and the sentence will be reduced under the original circumstances!

 and guarantees something else.

 That’s why they agreed to let their own children take the blame.

 But now, the principal culprit is directly facing the death penalty!

 Other persons are also sentenced to a minimum of 11 years and six months in prison!

 This is already considered a harsh sentence!

 It does not qualify as a lighter sentence at all!

Lin Long’s parents were unwilling on the spot because they had an only child.

Although Lin Long said he was a little rebellious, he made a lot of mistakes.

They also admitted it and were willing to pay compensation, and they did not say that they would not let the judgment be passed.

Even if it is a life sentence, they all agree!

 But...why did the death penalty come up all of a sudden?

At the family table, Lin Long’s parents were obviously a little anxious.

 The family members of the other three families are also at a loss about this recommended sentence.

Lin Long’s father, Lin Jianshe, immediately asked Lin Long’s uncle at the side anxiously.

 “I said Jianye, what the **** is going on?!”

“Didn’t you tell me that Li Xiaoguo’s family members had already agreed that Xiaolong’s sentence should be lighter?”

“The most we can say is a life sentence, and then we can get it out soon.”

 “What’s going on now? Why did you recommend the death penalty right from the start?!”

 “This is already a death sentence, how can we reduce it?”

"I tell you that you must tell me clearly. I am just a child, Xiaolong. If this sentence comes down, then I am not willing to do it!"

Facing Lin Jianshe’s question, Lin Jianye was also at a loss, but he still quickly explained:

“Brother, don’t be so anxious first. The recommended sentence is the recommended sentence, and the result of the sentence is the result of the sentence.”

 “It’s possible that their home didn’t say hello to the prosecutor.”

“Besides, the verdict is the judgment of the presiding judge, not the prosecutor, and the criminal sentence is not what is recommended.”

“The recommended sentence is the death penalty, but it can definitely be life-long!”

“Brother, don’t worry, this matter will definitely be settled in the end!”

Facing Lin Jianye’s comfort, Lin Jianye’s face was full of displeasure:

 “Don’t just comfort me here now.”

 “I’m telling you this is very serious!”

“I don’t know what Li Xiaoguo’s family promised you, asking you to be a lobbyist!

 But if this thing kills my son.

 This matter is definitely not over! "

 “Don’t worry, don’t worry, it’ll be absolutely fine.”

Lin Jianye kept comforting him.

 However, Lin Jianshe became angrier as he thought about it and continued to question:

“What you say now is nice, it’s my son who died, not your son!”

“If your son were sitting in the defendant’s seat now, would you still be making sarcastic remarks?”

"I have made it very clear to you now, and it is very clear that this trial must be carried out as promised to me, otherwise, you can just wait!"

Facing Lin Jianshe’s harsh words, Lin Jianye could only nod helplessly:

 “Okay, I understand, brother.”

“Don’t worry, I promise there won’t be any other unexpected situations.”

When Lin Jianye said this, he frowned.

 Actually, he didn’t know how Li Xiaoguo’s family arranged it.

At that time, Li Xiaoguo’s family just told them this and promised him a big project.

 Now is the time for project handover, and there must be no slippage at such a critical time!

But Lin Jianye had no choice but to pray during this court hearing.

Li Xiaoguo’s family members greeted the presiding judge, and the presiding judge finally gave him a life sentence!

.

 ….

 And the other side.

Su Bai was stunned for a moment after hearing what the prosecutor stated and recommended criminal prosecution.

 According to the prosecutor’s statement.

  The prosecution may be completely unaware of the circumstances involved in this case regarding Li Xiaoguo.

 It was the law enforcement side who conducted a complete concealment, which resulted in the prosecution of only four members.

 Furthermore, Li Xiaoguo’s family may not have said hello to the prosecutor.

 Or saying hello didn't have much effect.

 In this way...he didn't need to elaborate too much on this case at the trial.

 Just let the prosecutor know the real situation.

 Then take the initiative to postpone the trial and investigate Li Xiaoguo!

Thinking of this, Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief. From this point of view, Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

This case has become much simpler than what he thought was the most difficult case at the beginning.

Besides, Li Xuezhen also had a hint of surprise in her eyes when she heard the prosecutor's statement.

 Speak in a low voice:

“Lawyer Su...Looking at the prosecutor’s statement, it seems that we can make this case a lot easier!”

Su Bai smiled and nodded. Judging from the current situation, the presiding judge didn't know what was going on.

but.…

 At least in terms of the prosecutorial department, Li Xiaoguo’s family did not have much influence.

 It is indeed a lot easier in this case!

　　　…

Su Bai nodded: "It feels a lot more relaxed."

  “When the statement is made later, state the specific circumstances of the case.”

“Let the prosecution department investigate him again, if the death penalty charge against Lin Long is completed.”

“With Lin Long and Lin Long’s family as the breakthrough point, solving this case will be much easier than before!”

"Um!"

“Lawyer Su, I understand!”

Li Xuezhen nodded with a smile on her face, and then set her sights on the prosecutor's seat.

 As long as the prosecution is on the side, there is no big problem.

Then there is a high probability that Li Xiaoguo will be able to be tried in the future.

At this point, Li Xuezhen has followed Su Bai in so many cases.

very clear! .
