Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Chapter 614 The first witness, is he drunk?

Civil court, scene.

Zhang Wei got up slowly, and then announced:

"The prosecution summoned the first witness and invited Mr. Yao to testify in court!"

Under his summons, a man in a red suit and a strange tie walked into court.

"Hey, isn't this the weird bartender? I've seen his video?"

"When you say that, I'm really impressed. Isn't he that internet celebrity?"

"Yeah, I've seen his videos too. I heard that he seems to be imitating a foreign wine taster at the beginning. After posting a few videos, he became popular and has a lot of fans!"

At the hearing booth, seeing the man in court, many people talked a lot.

"Hello, Mr. Yao."

"Hello, Lawyer Zhang."

Zhang Wei greeted the visitor, then smiled and said: "Mr. Yao, please introduce yourself, your relationship with this case and the defendant."

Mr. Yao glanced at the dock, then swept his eyes across the audience, and said, "I am an internet celebrity bartender. Last Saturday, the organizer invited me to be the bartender at the youth elite party."

As soon as this remark came out, Wu Renjie and Xiao Mo Moji, who were sitting at the defense table, looked at each other.

"It really is him, I said this red suit looks familiar!"

Wu Renjie has already reacted, and it seems that he has indeed seen the other party at the scene on Saturday night.

Mr. Yao was invited by the host of the Youth Elite Gala, and was the on-site bartender that night.

Therefore, he was also at the scene and saw Wu Renjie and Xiao Mo Moji.

"At that time, they drank a lot of wine, really a lot. I kept ordering wine at my place and almost never stopped!"

"Mr. Yao, do you still remember what happened to these two that night?"

Zhang Wei said, pointing at Xiao Mo Moji and Wu Renjie.

"Of course, the two of them were the main guests I served that night. Others didn't drink as much as they did. How could I forget it!"

Zhang Wei nodded, then pointed at Little Mo Moji, "Here, how much wine did you drink that night?"

The witness glanced at little Mo Moji, then shook his head and said with emotion: "At least 15 cups, maybe more, anyway, he was completely dizzy at the end of the drink..."

"Then do you think such a person can drive away from the party?"

"Driving, don't be funny, let's not talk about driving, it may be difficult for him to walk!"

Mr. Yao smiled, held up a finger, and explained: "If the average person drinks 15 cups, if I ask him how many fingers he has, how many do you think they will answer?"

Many members of the jury blinked curiously, but there were also a few middle-aged men who nodded knowingly, obviously they had hangover experience.

"After 15 cups, it's still the wine I mixed. They don't answer one, two, three, but four, five, six. They are so drunk, who dares to let them drive!"

The witness said, spreading his hands and laughing.

"That is to say, in your eyes, it is absolutely impossible for Mr. Momoji Jr. to drive, right?"

"Yeah, unless you are brave enough to go to heaven when you go out, how can you let him drive!"

The witness's answer made many people in the courtroom laugh.

Apparently, little Momoji was so drunk that night that he was almost unconscious. Who would dare to let such a person drive? If he didn’t step on the accelerator to the end, it would speed you up to 300km/h?

What does this speed represent?

It means that there are no ashes left!

"No, hearsay evidence!"

What the witness said made Ren Xingzhou unable to sit still, so he stood up and interrupted.

"opposite……"

"The objection is invalid because this statement complies with the exception to the hearsay rule!"

At the trial seat, Ni Qiuping was about to speak, but Zhang Wei interrupted her directly.

After the interruption, Zhang Wei looked at Ni Qiuping and quickly added an explanation: "The witness is making a statement that the defendant will violate the law. Mr. Yao is at the scene. He saw it with his own eyes. This is a direct statement of the defendant's illegal behavior. The hearsay challenge may be waived."

After supplementing, Zhang Wei blinked at the trial seat again: "Old Ni, you're welcome, I'll speak for you!"

"Thank you, Lawyer Zhang!" Ni Qiuping gritted her teeth and said "Thank you" word by word.

"You're welcome, Old Ni, this is what I should do!" Zhang Wei was shameless again.

Little bastard!

Ni Qiuping cursed angrily in her heart, but she still controlled her face to tense, and said to Ren Xingzhou: "Lawyer Ren, you have also heard what Lawyer Zhang said about the "rumor exceptions", right? "

"When a piece of hearsay evidence has the guarantee and necessity of credibility and is used as evidence, it can be admitted as evidence to prove the truth of the case! Obviously, the witness Mr. Yao spent the whole night investigating At the drinking scene, the defendants Mo Moji and Wu Renjie were the two main guests that night, and the bartender knew best how much they drank, so this court believes that this hearsay evidence can be accepted as court evidence!"

In order to silence everyone, Ni Qiuping directly explained in court the basis of what Zhang Wei said.

For a while, many people in the court nodded subconsciously.

Some of them have never heard of it, but the truth is that the testimony of witnesses is true and can be accepted as evidence.

After understanding the meaning, everyone looked at little Momoji. This guy was obviously drunk that day.

So according to the witnesses, this guy is almost dead drunk, who dares to let him drive?

So, the driver is actually someone else...

The jury, the hearing seats, and almost everyone locked their eyes on Wu Renjie.

There were only two people in the car at the time, and little Mo Moji couldn't drive, so who can drive is only you!

Therefore, the person who injured Lu Ma, the injured person in this case, was you, a martial artist!

For a time, such an idea appeared in everyone's mind.

"Very good!" Zhang Wei understood that this was the purpose of his summoning the first witness.

He looked at Ren Xingzhou's side and saw the flicker in the eyes of these people.

"Unexpectedly, the Wu family got the monitoring equipment on the road, and even got the dash cams of the vehicles near the street that night, and got the probes and witnesses, but they forgot the most important party scene!"

It has to be said that the members of the Wu family are all warriors, and their minds are not careful enough.

The place where the car accident happened was in Sifangmen Street, so they dispatched manpower to scan all the evidence near the scene.

But they left behind at the youth elite gathering. Some people saw Xiao Mo Moji and Wu Renjie at the scene with their own eyes, and the witnesses here are actually useful.

"Judge Ni, we have no problem with the witness Mr. Yao for the time being!"

As Zhang Wei said, he had already walked back to the prosecutor's seat.

"Zhang Wei, you are amazing, the first witness proved them guilty!"

Zhang Xinwu was very excited and looked happy.

"Sister Xiaowu, can you please calm down, this is the first witness, do you really think you can beat them to death with a stick?"

Zhang Wei chuckled, Zhang Xinwu, did you go to court too rarely, and haven't experienced the sophistry of professional lawyers.

In court, even if you have proven the truth, a good lawyer can always find a loophole.

You can tell what is black is white, not to mention the so-called truth?

Therefore, Zhang Wei looked at the defense table with cold eyes, and he wanted to see how Ren Xingzhou made a move.

At this very moment, Ren Xingzhou was preparing to appear in court.

"Boss Ren, let me come!"

One of the trio, Lawyer Shen volunteered.

"This is the first witness. If you let Boss Ren do it yourself, wouldn't it be too cheap? I am confident that I can refute the witness's accusation!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Ren Xingzhou thought so too, I am the boss of the legal team, although Bai Meiqi is not here, but there are still three people available under him, it would be good to let them take the lead.

How could the two armies have just started to fight, and the coach directly charged into the battle?

"Go ahead and teach them a lesson!"

Ren Xingzhou waved his hand, and lawyer Shen got up to go to court.

"Hi everyone, I'm Lawyer Shen, one of the defense lawyers, and the head of the Litigation Department of Jincheng Law Firm!"

Lawyer Shen introduced himself and came to the witness stand.

"Witness, are you the bartender at the youth elite party?"

"Yes."

"Are there any other bartenders besides you?"

"there is none left."

"So how many guests are there at the party?"

"I haven't counted them, but I'll do a rough calculation. There must be at least a hundred people!"

"Then you have to mix drinks for more than a hundred people, won't you be too busy?"

"No, because there are a lot of self-prepared drinks at the scene, and the guests who actually drink the drinks mixed on site are only the two in the dock, and there are only a few, so I'm actually not too busy that day."

The witness said, and added: "That night was a youth elite party, a place for those young elites to communicate, and it was not a bar scene. Many people were expanding their circle of friends. Not many people really came to drink."

Lawyer Shen frowned, obviously the witness's answer was not what he wanted.

He looked back, and saw that Ren Xingzhou's eyes were not very friendly.

He knew that he had to show some results!

Attorney Shen glanced at Wu Renjie out of the corner of his eye, and he had an idea in his mind.

Lawyer Shen rolled his eyes and continued to ask after thinking: "Witness, you are the bartender that night, according to your statement, you have been dressing Mr. Mo Moji all night, and our client, Master Wu Renjie? "

"Almost." The witness replied, looking at the defense bench.

Hearing this vague answer, Lawyer Shen immediately tensed his face, and his tone became more serious: "I'm asking you, is it right? You just need to answer yes or no!"

Being asked such a question, the witness's tone was a little panicked, but he still reluctantly responded: "Yes..."

"Then let me ask you, how many glasses did Mr. Momoji drink?"

"At least 15 glasses. He hasn't heard of it since he sat down. He drank all the wine I mixed."

"Then what about our client, Master Wu Renjie, how many cups did he drink?"

"this……"

Witnesses lapsed into memory.

He remembered that that night, the two of them didn't stop much. Little Momoji drank a lot, and it seemed that Wu Renjie who was sitting next to him also drank a lot.

"There must be at least 13 cups, because I remember he went to the toilet halfway, so he drank two or three cups less."

"So, it's not just Mr. Momoji who drank a lot, but Master Wu Renjie also drank a lot?"

"Yes."

"13 cups, if this number continues, how drunk will ordinary people be?"

"According to the degree of the raw wine provided at the party, let alone 13 glasses, it is a question of whether ordinary people can survive 10 glasses."

"Then why did the two of them exceed 10 cups?"

"Well, I don't know..." The witness spread his hands with a strange expression on his face.

This question is indeed beyond the outline.

It can only be said that the physique of a person cannot be generalized.

"Could that be the case? In fact, the wine you mix doesn't have much alcohol. You think you can get drunk, but in fact you think highly of yourself."

Lawyer Shen said, pointing to Wu Renjie on the defense bench and asked, "After drinking at least 13 cups, is my client drunk?"

"This, it seems that there is really no one."

The witness took a look at Wu Renjie and shook his head, "I seem to have complained that night. Your party is really a big drinker. You can walk without shaking after drinking so much!"

"If Master Wu Renjie is not drunk, then how do you judge that Mr. Momoji is drunk?"

"Impossible, he is really drunk, and he is swaying when he walks, if no one supports him, he will fall to the ground after walking a few steps, how can he say he is not drunk?"

"Maybe little Mr. Momoji has a special constitution. At the beginning, his legs were numb after sitting for a long time, but he adjusted after walking a few steps!"

Lawyer Shen said, without giving the witness a chance to refute, he quickly asked: "Witness, did you work at the bar all the time that night?"

"Yes, all the time."

"Then after little Mr. Momoji and Master Wu Renjie left, have you not seen them?"

"Sure."

"That's it. After they left, you didn't see that Mr. Momoji couldn't move around, and you didn't see that Master Wu Renjie was drunk. How dare you say they were all drunk?"

"But they drank so much, they..."

"People's physiques cannot be generalized!"

Lawyer Shen took out the excuse he had prepared long ago, and retorted: "Mr. Momoji is drunk or not, but you don't know at all in your heart, right?"

"This..." The witness didn't know how to answer now.

"Witness, did you see that Mr. Momoji was unconscious, and even felt nauseous?"

"No."

"Then have you seen little Mr. Momoji sleeping soundly after a hangover, or talking crazy after drinking?"

"nor."

"Then did you see that Mr. Momoji felt that he was too drunk to drive, so did you let our client do it for you?"

"I'm sure not. I'm all at the bar. How can I see the parking lot?"

"That's fine. You can't see anything. It's too arbitrary to make a judgment based on how much you've drunk!"

Lawyer Shen said, his face tightened, and he said in a bad tone: "I see you are clearly using lies to lead the jurors on purpose to attack our client!"

"I am wronged!"

The witness was completely intimidated now, and quickly shook his head in denial.

"Hmph, who knows, maybe you will be threatened by a famous murder lawyer and have to come forward to give false testimony!"

Lawyer Shen finally sneered, and gave Zhang Wei a meaningful look.

"Judge Ni, what is the defense lawyer planning to do, slander me in front of the whole court, is this a proper slander?"

"Sorry, Your Honor, I take back my last statement just now!"

Seeing that Zhang Wei moved out Ni Qiuping to uphold justice, Lawyer Shen naturally apologized directly.

However, the corner of his mouth was still filled with a sneer, obviously he had dealt with this first step.

Ni Qiuping glanced at Lawyer Shen, and her eyes seemed to say: Be careful, you boy, my wife, if there is another time, I will definitely kill you!

"There won't be a next time, there are other people in our team!" Attorney Shen smiled dismissively, not caring at all.

After all, he just took the lead, and achieved good results. This performance is enough for Boss Ren to remember himself.

Maybe today's trial could still reach the big boss's ears, then he could be regarded as having made a lot of face under the big boss's attention, no matter what it is not a loss.

"Your Honor, my cross-examination of this witness is over!"

Satisfied, Lawyer Shen ended the cross-examination and returned to the defense table.

"Boss Ren, Young Master Wu, fortunately, you did not disgrace your life!"

"Well, Lawyer Shen, your performance is good!"

Ren Xingzhou was naturally very satisfied with Lawyer Shen's performance.

As expected of his subordinates, this cross-examination not only perfectly resolved the accusations against Mo Moji and Wu Renjie, but also severely damaged the validity of the witnesses' testimony.

And this was the very beginning, and Zhang Wei's spirit was severely frustrated.

Lawyer Shen performed well. As the leader of the team, he is naturally a good leader.

This matter spread to the ears of the big boss, and it was a good thing to give himself a wave of face.

Wu Renjie and Xiao Mo Moji also nodded unconsciously.

Both of them had to admit that the lawyers of Jincheng Law Firm had a few tricks.

Although Zhang Wei is very powerful, our strength is not weak, let's see who is afraid of whom!

The defense is full of confidence this time, and they don't think Zhang Wei has other strong witnesses.

Come on, let's see what you can do, Zhang Wei!

"Lawyer Zhang, do you still have any witnesses?"

"Yes, we have summoned a second witness to testify in court!"

Under Ni Qiuping's questioning, Zhang Wei got up directly and summoned the second witness.

Soon, a boy in a waiter's uniform walked up to the court with a restrained expression on his face.

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, he sat on the witness stand.

"Hello, Witness, would you please introduce yourself."

"I'm the doorman of the Oriental Capital International Hotel."

After hearing this, Zhang Wei explained to the jury: "The Oriental Metropolis International Hotel is the venue for the youth elite party!"

"Then witness, I would like to ask you, were you on duty at the entrance of the hotel last Saturday night?"

"Yes, I was in charge of welcoming guests that day, and I was always guarding at the hotel entrance."

"Well, please tell me, did you see the two defendants that night?"

"I see!"

"In the evening, the two of them went to the parking lot to pick up their car. Their car was a red Ferrari supercar. Who was in the driver's seat at that time?"

"It's him!"

The witness glanced at Xiao Momoji and Wu Renjie, then raised his finger to Wu Renjie with a look of affirmation.

That night, he did see it, and it was Wu Renjie who drove the car.

The testimony of the witnesses surprised the entire court.

There are really witnesses!
