Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

After lunch, take a good lunch break.

The court scene was lively again.

Everyone returned to the court one after another, waiting for the hearing.

Soon, the judge entered.

"Then, let's begin the closing arguments of both parties!"

With the judge's announcement, the court's final session in the afternoon finally began.

The first one to appear was naturally Chai Ping.

He stood up straight, with solemnity flashing between his brows, and then walked to the center of the court.

"This is a naked crime!"

At the first sentence, Chai Ping pointed at Yan Dayuan on the defense bench and began to scold, pointing at Bella's boss.

With his high-pitched voice, all eyes naturally focused on him.

"Why are you yelling so loudly?!!!"

At the defense table, little apprentice Lin Yumeng complained, with a little fear on her face.

"Calm down, this is also the prosecution's routine!"

Zhang Wei patted the young apprentice on the shoulder to show comfort.

The closing statement is often the final winner. If the case is not clear enough, then this hand will play a role in deciding the winner.

Therefore, when the prosecution and the defense are making closing statements, what they need is to attract the attention of the audience, and it is best to attract the attention of the jury.

Chai Ping obviously achieved this with a loud voice.

But in addition to attracting the audience's attention with a big decibel, he also needs to do another point.

That is to tell a compelling story, which is the key in closing arguments.

An excellent lawyer may not be good at trial, but he must be good at persuading jurors.

The most critical step in convincing the jurors is to tell a good story, and let the jury understand and even understand the story.

So Zhang Wei looked towards the center of the court while comforting the little apprentice.

Chai Ping is doing the finishing touches.

"Please imagine, if today's case does not get a positive result, if the defendant Yan Dayuan is not tried, what kind of impact will this case have on society?"

"In the future, when you walk on the street, a man suddenly rushes out and snatches your wallet in front of you. As for the reason why he robbed Qianbao, he said it was my wallet because I also have this style? "

Chai Ping spread his hands, with a look of incomprehension: "Is such a reason acceptable?"

"That's totally impossible!"

He asked and answered on the spot, and his tone became a little more serious.

"In my opinion, this is simply a crime. The defendant, Chai Ping, used the excuse of losing his wallet to carry out an impromptu robbery!"

"I believe that everyone will never condone such behavior, otherwise, once he is allowed to escape legal sanctions, will we dare to walk on the street in the future?"

"I am here to implore everyone, for the safety of yourself and your family in the future, make a legal and common sense judgment!"

Having said this, Chai Ping bowed deeply to the jury box.

"Hey, are you trying to win over the jury with a little trick?"

Seeing Chai Ping's behavior, Zhang Wei laughed.

low end!

Too low end!

Is this the closing statement from the Midtown District Attorney's Office?

These routines are completely like a rookie who just came out of Xinshou Village, and he didn't use them decades ago.

A good lawyer often has the ability to persuade others, rather than pleading with others.

One of Zhang Wei's tenets is never to ask for help.

Because you are a lawyer, an excellent lawyer, you can only have a cooperative relationship with clients and anyone.

Once you go to ask for help, then you will be inferior to the other party, and you will make others look down on you!

A good lawyer will never ask for help, but only persuade and impress others.

"Thank you all for listening!"

Chai Ping finally finished his closing statement and returned to the prosecution bench.

After he was seated, he looked at the defense seats, and stared at Lin Yumeng with a murderous look.

Obviously, he was trying to kill with his eyes off the court, threatening the latter and creating pressure.

Lin Yumeng, on the other hand, felt the gaze from the prosecutor's seat, and suddenly felt a great deal of pressure.

"Master, I'm so scared~"

"Xiaomeng, don't be afraid, just go up and tell a story, the story of the rabbit, do you understand?"

"Well……"

"Oh, by the way, since Chai Ping emphasized a point just now, you have to give me back, you just say it like this... Do you understand?"

Zhang Wei whispered a few words in the young apprentice's ear, and the latter nodded repeatedly, indicating that he had made a note of it.

"You don't have to worry. After emphasizing these points, you can tell stories. Don't be afraid. The court is your home. Whatever you do at home, so be it. Anyway, the audience is our own people, you go up Feel free to play, don't have a psychological burden!"

"But……"

"Xiaomeng, don't worry, our client is Mr. Yan Dayuan. Even if he really wants to go to jail, it's probably the same as going back home. The people inside talk nicely. He must think it's super interesting!"

Yan Dayuan:? ? ?

Yan Dayuan said, I am really beeping the dog, and there are two lawyers like you.

You haven't even started the closing statement yet, and you're thinking about my going to jail?

Can I change lawyers?

Yan Dayuan was speechless, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

Now that his lawyer is about to go to court, how dare he push him too much.

"Understood, master, just look at it!"

In the end, the little apprentice finally adjusted his mood and walked to the court with small steps.

The audience's eyes immediately focused on it.

At the hearing booth, all the new recruits from the criminal department took out their notebooks and prepared to write fast.

On the prosecution bench, Chai Ping was still creating pressure, his eyes seemed to kill.

The jury seat, the trial seat, and the court guards all around looked at Lin Yumeng.

They knew that after the girl finished speaking, the case would be over.

All it takes is one more jury meeting to close the case, and they're all waiting to get off work.

Finally, under everyone's gaze, the little apprentice finally spoke slowly.

"That... I want to explain something first..."

Lin Yumeng raised a little finger and emphasized: "Actually, the law and order in our Eastern Capital is second to none. It's not like what the prosecution prosecutor said, you will be robbed when you step out of the door. That's purely alarmist talk. Create anxiety~"

The decibel of the little apprentice's voice was not high, but what he said made everyone nod their heads.

Only Chai Ping on the prosecution seat was stunned.

Good guy, this is taking what I said just now.

When did I say that if you walk out the door, you will be robbed?

I'm just saying that if you go out, you may be robbed, you may be robbed of your wallet!

The defense is changing the concept secretly, which is slandering me!

Unfortunately, he couldn't speak anymore, because his closing statement was over, and there was no chance for him to speak in court.

"I believe in the Martial Arts Association, I believe in the investigation department, and I believe in the security of Dongfangdu, because I have lived in Dongfangdu since I was a child, and I know that the security of this city guarantees the life and personal property safety of each of our residents."

"Even in places where the security forces can't take care of them, there are still enthusiastic citizens in this case. They will still be brave enough to help bring justice to justice, so you don't need to worry. The East is really, really... very safe~"

He said "really" many times in a row, which was regarded as an emphasis, and made many people in the jury nod their heads.

"The counterattack explained by the master is considered complete, and the next step is to tell the story..."

But at this moment, the little apprentice began to feel apprehensive when he thought of Zhang Wei's exhortation.

Countering the prosecution's claims, and tweaking the meaning of the prosecution's discourse a little, is the first step.

The next step is the most critical second step, telling the story.

A story about rabbits?

Lin Yumeng suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, took a deep breath, and finally told the story she thought of during the lunch break.

"Well, when my family was young, we actually lived in the country...the kind of big and old house in the country, surrounded by a fence, and surrounded by a vegetable field... When I was young, my childhood, it was such a place spent."

The little apprentice said something in his heart, the country villa and the happy place in my house should have a history of nearly a hundred years, isn’t this a big and old house, but the master asked me not to say the word villa, I really don’t understand ah?

"I'm not saying this to let you understand me. It's just that when I was a child in the country, I happened to encounter such a thing. Let me tell you about it."

Lin Yumeng said, pretending to remember: "When I was a child, my family had a puppy. It's a cute puppy. I like it very much."

"But one day, I let the puppy out to play, and it brought me back a rabbit, a bloody rabbit, a dead rabbit."

"I was very scared at the time, because this rabbit was raised by my grandfather. Two days ago, I saw it alive and kicking. I didn't expect it to die today. It was bitten to death by my dog."

"I know that grandpa likes his pet rabbit very much. If you let him know that his rabbit was killed by a dog, he will be very angry and may kill the dog."

"At the same time, I also know one thing, that is the responsibility. I let the dog out to play. If the dog is wrong, then it means I am also at fault."

"Finally I made a decision, I picked up the rabbit, resisted my fear and nausea, washed it several times in the sink, even used washing powder, soap, and made sure there was not a drop of blood on the rabbit's fur .Then I smoothed the rabbit's fur, dried it with a towel, and finally put the rabbit back in my grandpa's cage."

"At that time, I was still young. I naively thought that no one would know that the rabbit was killed by my dog. I even thought that grandpa might not find out about it."

When Lin Yumeng said this, her little face was a little embarrassed and embarrassed.

"But who knows, when I was having dinner that night, my grandfather suddenly said this in front of the whole family..."

The little apprentice put on a majestic tone, and said in a rough voice: "Which bastard, crazy, dug out the dead rabbit from the ground, washed it for me, and put it back in the cage. It's nothing to do. ah!"

"Pfft!"

At the hearing seat, Su Xiaoqian was the first to bear it, covering her mouth and laughing.

Smiles are contagious, especially after the first person can't hold it back, others can't help it too.

so……

Pooh!

Pooh!

Many newcomers laughed and couldn't help laughing.

Although this story sounds a bit outrageous, but when you think about it carefully, it seems that there is such a possibility.

Not only the hearing stand, but also some people in the jury stand laughed.

One, two, three, four...

Almost all the jurors heard this story, and after thinking about it carefully, they all felt a little weird.

Since such outrageous things have happened, will the defendant Yan Dayuan's snatching of the wallet be as outrageous as he said?

It seems, maybe, maybe, probably, there is such a possibility...

"Good storytelling!"

On the prosecution table, Zhang Wei resisted standing up and applauding, but still smiled.

This story perfectly illustrates the situation in this case.

Even the most outrageous thing could be a coincidence.

The little apprentice's dog killed the rabbit, but the rabbit was already dead, so the dog is innocent.

Yan Dayuan wanted to snatch the wallet, but his intention was not to snatch it at all, but suddenly his head convulsed and he felt that he had lost his wallet.

coincide!

Lin Yumeng instilled the word "coincidence" into the jurors through a vivid and interesting story.

An excellent lawyer, by telling stories, can instill his purpose in the jurors!

Obviously, Lin Yumeng did it.

"However, if you want to have a perfect ending, you still need to do this..."

Looking at his little apprentice, Zhang Wei began to think about what she would do in the end.

in court.

"Ahem, do you think it's funny? My dog ​​is actually innocent. It didn't kill the little rabbit, it just dug a dead little rabbit out of the soil."

"But I think this dog is very similar to Mr. Yan Dayuan in this case. They just followed their subconscious instincts and did something that others thought was a crime!"

"Mr. Yan Dayuan's original intention is actually to protect his wallet, even if this wallet appears in someone else's hands inexplicably, but his original intention is to get back his wallet."

"He didn't have criminal consciousness subjectively, and he didn't cause any criminal harm objectively. He just wanted to get his wallet back and took action."

"Even after finding out that it wasn't his wallet, he chased Ms. Zong just to pay it back, so it was a complete misunderstanding, the same misunderstanding as my dog ​​and rabbit."

"So I want to tell everyone that when Mr. Yan Dayuan has no criminal intent and has not caused any harm, he is actually innocent!"

"Here, I hope that everyone on the jury can fully consider the ins and outs of the whole incident, and can see that my client really came here because of a coincidence and misunderstanding, and he didn't commit a crime at all!"

"Thank you everyone~"

Finally, Lin Yumeng also ended her closing statement with a beautiful bow.

When she walked back to the defense table, Zhang Wei smiled.

"Apprentice, your story is good, did it really happen?"

"No, it's all made up by me. We have a big villa in the country, there is only a golf course nearby, so there is no vegetable field. Besides, my grandfather doesn't allow dogs, and he won't raise rabbits, but I always I thought about raising a puppy, but I didn’t expect it to be realized first in the story.”

"Yo ho, the stories we are making up are so wonderful, I almost believe them to be true."

Looking at the little apprentice's answer, Zhang Wei crazily praised it in his heart.

My little apprentice, although sometimes very confused, but at critical moments, he can always perform magical operations.

good!

It is a good seedling!

As long as she doesn't act so lazy in normal times, she can definitely grow into an excellent barrister!

At that time, Zhang Wei can also go out and say, my apprentice Zhang Wei has a big appearance!

So far, the closing arguments of both parties have come to an end.

"Ahem, this court announces that the jury will follow me into the negotiating room to discuss the verdict, and the court will temporarily adjourn pending notice!"

With the judge's announcement, the court was once again dissolved.

Chai Ping gave Zhang Wei a vicious look, and walked out of the courtroom quickly.

At the hearing booth, all the newcomers came forward.

"Leader Lin, your last story is great, I guess I have a chance to make a comeback this time!"

"What is a chance? After I heard this story, I felt that I would definitely win this time!"

"Don't talk, don't talk, you can't talk about this kind of thing, you can only say that the chances are great, but don't talk about it, or you will be poisoned!"

Some are happy, some are worried, but most of the newcomers are confident.

"That's fine, just wait here, you can do whatever you want!"

Zhang Wei waved his hand, signaling the newcomers to play freely.

Anyway, the court has been disbanded, and it may take a while for the negotiation to come to a conclusion.

Once the ruling comes out, Tingwei will notify both parties.

But this time, Zhang Wei thinks that the time for negotiation will not be short, because it will take time to judge whether Yan Dayuan has criminal intent.

Sure enough, the jury and the judge negotiated for a full 30 minutes before negotiating the result.

When Tingwei came to inform, Zhang Wei had expected it, but Lin Yumeng became nervous again.

Because this time, it's not the last fight with Mo Mingchuan, but a jury is really needed to decide the result.

Just as everyone was expecting, the jury returned to the courtroom under the leadership of the judge.

"Has the jury reached a conclusion?"

"Your Honor, we have reached the result!"

"Well, please announce it!"

"OK!"

The chief juror got up, and under the watchful eyes of both the prosecution and the defense, the hearing seat and the trial seat, he read aloud:

"After the verdict of the jury, the prosecution prosecuted the defendant Yan Dayuan for the crime of robbery. We believe that he..."

At the defense table, Lin Yumeng suddenly grabbed Zhang Wei's hand, and gradually tightened her five fingers.

This is an expression of nervousness, but Zhang Wei just smiled. Sure enough, this little girl is still too easily swayed by emotions.

In fact, this time, the result was already obvious, but she was still frightened. After all, this was because of too little experience.

A real veteran court driver has long been able to remain calm, even if he knows that his client is going to jail, he can still be expressionless.

While Lin Yumeng was nervous and Zhang Wei was waiting calmly, the chief juror finally announced the result.

"...We find him...not guilty!"

The word "not guilty" at the end made many people in the audience heave a sigh of relief.

Yan Dayuan sat down slumped as if all the strength had been removed from his body.

"I'm scared to death, I'm so scared~" Lin Yumeng finally let go of Zhang Wei's hand, patted her chest lightly, with a look of rejoicing.

"Great!"

In the hearing booth, the newcomers cheered.

Chai Ping's expression changed dramatically after hearing that the result was not guilty.

In his eyes, there was a strong unwillingness to shine.

He knew that he had failed!

Not to mention Zhang Wei, he didn't even win against the opponent's apprentice!

Damn it!
