Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

"Your Honor, the prosecution disagrees!"

Tan Yingying stood up and declared, "The defendant's confession is the key to this lawsuit. Without it, this lawsuit would not stand."

Zhang Wei had expected it, and retorted in public: "But this is not a reason to use an invalid confession as evidence!"

"this……"

Tan Yingying was interrupted by this reason, and was speechless immediately.

Judge Wang looked thoughtful and looked at Zhang Hui on the witness stand.

"Lawyer Zhang Hui, you obviously violated the regulations, but since you are the first offender, I can give you a warning and not report to the review committee for now."

"Thank you, Your Honor!" Zhang Hui breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the case would be withdrawn.

As for her punishment, she herself admitted it.

"Your Honor, I have something to say!"

The judge was about to speak, but Xiao Baihe beside Tan Yingying stood up immediately.

"I think the defendant was well informed at the time, and the public defender had explained to him other options. If the defendant insisted that he was not guilty, he could pay bail, but he did not do so, which means that he gave up his defense of innocence. As for his confession, he also signed it himself, and the court should ignore this legally binding confession just because the defense lawyer confessed his mistake!"

When Xiao Baihe said this, he glanced at Zhang Wei provocatively: "Besides, someone died this time!"

"Your Honor, human life is at stake. The family members of the deceased also hope to find the real culprit and give them justice. I hope that Your Honor can represent justice and give the family members of the deceased a chance to seek justice!"

As soon as this remark came out, the judge's expression became extremely dignified.

Only then did he remember that this time it was not a small case of the Misdemeanor Division, but a case of manslaughter.

"Yes, what the prosecution said is reasonable. The family members of the deceased have the right to pursue justice. The motion was dismissed and the confession was ruled valid!"

With the judge's decision, Zhang Wei's pretrial motion failed.

Whether it was the defendant, his wife, or Zhang Hui in the witness stand, all of them looked disappointed, weak and decadent.

Tan Yingying looked at Xiao Baihe excitedly, and the latter looked at Zhang Wei provocatively again.

However, to Xiao Baihe's surprise, Zhang Wei did not show any signs of discouragement, and was completely different from the others.

"Your Excellency, since the motion has been rejected, the defense has nothing to say, but the defense wants to ask the court to clarify one thing. Is my opponent the prosecutor in charge of this case, or the ace prosecutor of the felony division? "

Zhang Wei said, pointing to Tan Yingying and Xiao Baihe: "Your Excellency, I'm just a newcomer lawyer who just passed the law examination and can only accept public interest cases. I'm going to fight against the trump prosecutor. I'm so scared." ~"

Although Judge Wang didn't like the jumpy Zhang Wei, he also felt that what he said made sense.

After thinking for a while, he warned Xiao Baihe: "Prosecutor Xiao Baihe, please pay attention to your position in the next trial, you are only here to observe, and the presiding prosecutor is not you, please be careful not to overwhelm others. pressure!"

"I see, Your Honor!"

Xiao Baihe's eyes turned cold, and he glared at Zhang Wei, but still nodded.

"This Zhang Wei is a bit capable. If he fails to succeed in one move, he wants to block my actions. I will remember you!"

Xiao Baihe remembered Zhang Wei, but the defendant was very frustrated.

"Student, we seem to have failed." Zhang Hui felt that the case was gone.

Once the motion fails and the case cannot be withdrawn, they will have to face the local prosecutor's headquarters, which is a tough battle.

But Zhang Wei smiled evilly: "Have you lost? Why do I feel like it's just the beginning?"

"Student?" Seeing Zhang Wei's smile, Zhang Hui felt a little nervous.

"It's okay, through this motion, I can see the depth of the other party."

Zhang Wei pointed at Tan Yingying, with a playful expression on his face: "She is also a newcomer, with little skill and experience. It is very irrational for a misdemeanor prosecutor to deal with felonies. The only thing I need to be vigilant about is Xiao Baihe next to her." , So just now I asked the judge to give the other party a little warning, I hope it will be effective."

It was at this time that the judge declared:

"Since the motion is dismissed, let's take a break and start the pre-trial in an hour!"

In the first confrontation, Zhang Wei had the upper hand, but he himself didn't think so.

An hour passed quickly.

The trial begins again.

Because it is a criminal case, the jury is 12 people and needs to be selected from the candidate jury.

On the prosecution's seat, Xiao Baihe's eyes were still fixed on Zhang Wei.

After looking at it for a long time, she turned to Tan Yingying and said:

"Next, let's take a look at the level of this newcomer. Generally, at this time, many lawyers will ask targeted questions, such as their views on the crime of manslaughter, or whether they sympathize with the defendant, etc. Many lawyers will even point out the trial What we need to do is write down these questions, and then you can refute these questions that may affect them one by one during the opening statement stage, you understand!"

"Yeah, I've written them all down. If he asks a lot of questions, I'll refute them all!"

Tan Yingying took a notebook and recorded all Xiao Baihe's teachings.

At the same time, she also looked at Zhang Wei, wanting to see what questions this new lawyer could ask to screen jurors.

Zhang Wei was seen walking to the front of the jury box under the gaze of the audience.

"Ahem, hello, all jurors..."

Zhang Wei cleared his throat and asked with a smile, "I want to ask, how is your relationship with your parents?"

Juror: "???"

Tan Yingying: "???"

Xiao Baihe: "???"

Others in the court: "???"

Regardless of the ignorance of other people in the audience, Zhang Wei walked up to a young man and asked, "May I ask how is your relationship with your father? Is it a loving father and a filial son? Or do you have occasional quarrels or frequent conflicts?" , do not communicate with each other?"

"My dad and I have a pretty good relationship. Although I live out, I go back to visit him every week."

Zhang Wei nodded, and then asked: "That's good, may I ask what your father said, will you listen?"

"Of course, I listen to my father most!"

"Oh~ that's right."

Zhang Wei looked at the court with a smile: "Your Excellency, the defense dismissed this juror and thanked him for his participation."

The judge opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but it was the defense lawyer's right to dismiss the jurors, and he couldn't stop him.

Zhang Wei came to a woman with dyed hair again, and asked with a smile, "Sister, what is your relationship with your father?"

The woman raised her eyelids, and answered directly: "My old man died a long time ago!"

"Oh, sorry, what about your mother?"

"In the second year after the old man died, she left me and left. We haven't contacted each other for almost ten years. I don't know if she is alive or dead now."

"Well, if your father is still alive, will you listen to him?"

"Of course not. My old man often drinks heavily and likes to talk drunk. I didn't bother to talk to him when he was alive. If I had listened to him, I might be drinking too now!" The woman waved her hands with a look of disdain.

Seeing the performance of this "big filial daughter", Zhang Wei nodded in satisfaction: "Your Excellency, the defense accepts this juror."

The prosecution seat.

Xiao Baihe opened his mouth slightly, and his facial muscles twitched a little.

She was shocked by Zhang Wei's question, and she didn't notice that she was a little out of control at all.

On the other hand, Tan Yingying was thinking, should she write down these "stupid questions"?

But even if she wrote it down, how would she refute it? It's impossible to persuade everyone to listen to their parents, right? This is not a family court, what the hell?

Zhang Wei continued to ask questions, and soon screened out several "honest and obedient" children.

"The members of the jury have been finalized, and the formal trial will begin tomorrow!"

With the judge's decision, today's pre-trial is over.

As everyone in the court left one after another, Tan Yingying from the prosecution came to Zhang Wei and handed him a list.

"Witness list, who did you update?"

"Look for yourself!" Tan Yingying replied and ran away immediately.

Zhang Wei looked down at the list, secretly said that it was true.

"Student, what's wrong with the list?" Zhang Hui also leaned over and glanced at the list of witnesses.

Zhang Wei smiled, pointed to the two extra names in the form, and analyzed: "It may be that my question caught the other party by surprise today, so the prosecution made a stupid move and prepared to let the deceased's parents appear in court. "

"Isn't that terrible? Generally, the complaints of the family members of the deceased will make the defendant passive."

"No, I think on the contrary, the witnesses of the prosecution may also become our weapons to attack the other side!"

"Senior sister, please appease the defendant and his wife, it's best to keep an eye on them, and don't let the defendant make any irrational actions!"

"Understood, junior, but I'm here to appease the defendant, what about you?"

"Oh, I have more important things to do!"

As Zhang Wei said, he smiled and walked towards Xia Qianyue who was in the hearing booth.

"Hanhan, tell me quickly, how is your relationship with Xiao Baihe, do you know each other well?"

"Of course we are. We have been roommates for three years, but you care about what she does. Isn't she the chief lawyer on the other side?"

"How can I say she is a beautiful woman, can't we understand it?"

"Zhang Wei, go to hell!"

Seeing the two people who were so affectionate with each other leaving, Zhang Hui's eyes were confused.

What time is it, this junior actually still wants to pick up girls?

Zhang Hui shook his head, dispelled these thoughts, and hurried towards the defendant.

...

The next day, morning.

After the hearing, it is the prosecution's case statement and proof link.

As a public prosecution case, the prosecution, as the prosecuting party, is responsible for the burden of proof.

The first witness was none other than the field staff of the Wushu Association who was on duty at the scene.

"Hello, Zhong Faji, can you please explain the situation at the scene?"

"Of course, it was around 7:50 in the evening. I was patrolling the Jinnan section of the downtown street. The walkie-talkie on my body informed me that there was a dispute nearby and asked me to rush to mediate. When I arrived at the scene, I found that the defendant and A few other people got into a fight, they apparently had an argument and one of them was pushed to the ground by the defendant."

Tan Yingying nodded, and looked at Xiao Baihe who was sitting on the prosecutor's seat. After seeing the latter nodding, she continued to ask:

"The person who was pushed to the ground, do you know who it is?"

Zhong Waiqin nodded and replied in a very positive tone: "I know, it is Wei Hong who died in this case!"

As soon as this statement came out, all eyes were on the defendant Lin Xiao, and many people in the jury had a bad expression on their faces.

Lin Xiao turned his head and looked at his wife in the hearing booth, wanting to seek comfort.

But the prosecution's questioning continued.

"You saw that the defendant pushed Wei Hong, so what do you think of the defendant's situation at that time, are you very excited, or do you not care?"

"he……"

"be opposed to!"

Just when Zhong Waiqi was about to speak, Zhang Wei interrupted first: "Guide the witness to speculate."

"The objection is valid." Judge Wang glanced at Tan Yingying with some warning.

Tan Yingying quickly lowered her head, reorganized her words, and then continued to ask: "Then did the defendant say anything to you after pushing the person?"

"He talked a lot, and when I offered to take them all away, he got even more agitated, said he was innocent and said he had done nothing wrong!"

"Innocent? Do you think he lied? From your professional point of view, does he have a guilty conscience..."

"be opposed to!"

Before Tan Yingying could finish her question, Zhang Wei interrupted again.

"Your Excellency, Zhong Waiji is just a member of the martial arts association, not a professional psychiatrist. It is impossible to accurately judge the psychological state of my client in that situation. His answer cannot be accepted as an expert opinion!"

"The objection is valid!" Judge Wang stared at Tan Yingying and reminded: "Prosecutor, please think carefully when asking questions, and don't ask meaningless questions!"

"Oh, yes, Your Honor!" Tan Yingying quickly admitted her mistake, with a panicked look on her face.

This scene made Xiao Baihe in the prosecution seat shake his head secretly, and at the same time, his gaze towards Zhang Wei also changed slightly.

This guy seems to be pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!

Tan Yingying was interrupted one after another by Zhang Wei, and her rhythm was a little out of order.

"Then, this, I..."

"Your Excellency, the prosecution seems to have no questions to ask!" Zhang Wei stood up again, staring at Tan Yingying and said.

"Prosecutor?" The judge also glanced at Tan Yingying.

"I, I'm done asking questions..."

Tan Yingying was double-locked by the judge and Zhang Wei's eyes, and hurried back to the prosecution's seat in desperation, with panic on her small face.

The judge ignored these, but continued to preside: "The prosecution's questioning is over, and now it's the defense's turn to ask questions."

Zhang Wei came to the witness stand and said hello, "Hello, Zhong Waiqin."

"Hello!"

"Excuse me Zhongwaiqin, did you say that when you arrived at the scene, you were very excited to see the defendant?"

"Yes, he was very excited."

"Then I want to ask, do you have a wife?"

"ah?"

Hearing Zhang Wei's question, the witness was dumbfounded.

On the prosecution's seat, Xiao Baihe hastily elbowed Tan Yingying who was beside her, and the latter finally came to her senses.

"Objection, nothing to ask!"

But Zhang Wei had expected it a long time ago, so he took the opportunity and said: "Your Excellency, I promise that within the next minute, I will be able to show the relevance of this issue to the case!"

After thinking about it, the judge chose to believe Zhang Wei: "The objection is invalid, but you must remember what you said!"

"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Zhang Wei expressed his gratitude.

While Tan Yingying sat down decadently, Xiao Baihe beside her was also silent.

"Zhongwaiqi, please answer my question, are you married?"

"I am married."

"Do you love your wife?"

"Of course, I love her very much, of course."

"If she is in danger, will you protect her?"

"Yes, I will."

"Okay, thank you for your answer."

Zhang Wei said, raising his hands and pretending to be exaggerated: "Then please simulate it, if you and your wife are shopping, but suddenly four tall hooligans appear and swear at your wife, Still looking at you provocatively, what will you do?"

"I... probably stand up and stop them from continuing." Zhong Waiqi was overwhelmed by this question, and he didn't know how to answer it.

But Zhang Wei changed the subject and said suddenly: "Then if they don't plan to give up and still pester you, there is even a hooligan who has already messed with your wife and called you an idiot, an idiot, is... ..."

"I might punch him!" Zhong Waiqiu didn't even think about it, and immediately rushed to talk.

Immediately, all eyes were focused.

This answer was very attractive and made everyone in the jury think for a while.

"Oh, you will punch him~" Zhang Wei laughed, and explained to the jury: "Exactly, my client did the same thing, but he didn't punch anyone, he just pushed one of the hooligans away!"

The jurors looked at each other, as if they felt that this matter was really not a big deal.

Seeing that the situation had changed, Zhang Wei immediately continued: "Everyone, my client is just an ordinary person. He wanted to protect his wife, but he was surrounded by four tall men. What do you think he can do? Is it wrong to push others away?"

"Objection!" This time, it was Xiao Baihe who stood up, "Your Honor, it's time for questions, and the defense lawyers are making closing statements!"

Zhang Wei didn't take it seriously, but looked at the court, and asked with a smile: "Your Excellency, I remember you warned Prosecutor Xiao Baihe, but the prosecutor didn't speak, why did she speak first?"

"Prosecutor Xiao Baihe, I will warn you one last time, if you do this again next time, I will sentence you to contempt of court!"

The judge raised a finger and looked at Zhang Wei after a warning: "The objection is valid. The defense please ask questions instead of making targeted statements."

"My fault, Your Honor, I take back the question just now."

Zhang Wei smiled apologetically, but only God knows how much sincerity he has in his heart to admit his mistake.

"I have no further questions about the witnesses."

Zhang Wei returned to the defense bench contentedly, and when he passed the prosecution bench, he even winked at Xiao Baihe.

This move naturally angered the latter, and Xiao Baihe could even vaguely see a burning flame in his eyes.

"The prosecution, please prepare the next witness!"

On the trial seat, Judge Wang knocked on the cone to remind.

But at the same time, he began to look at Zhang Wei again from the corner of his eye.

"This new lawyer is not easy, not to mention the tricky angles of the questions, and he can suppress the always strong Xiao Baihe in court, it is really not easy!"
