Chapter 308 Innocence Defense

The hands crossed, it was three o'clock!

The court hearing gradually became quiet, and a clerk walked out: "Please be silent, spectators. We are now announcing court discipline."

"Except for those who are allowed to enter the trial area due to work needs of this court, other personnel are not allowed to enter the trial area."

"You are not allowed to speak or ask questions without the permission of the presiding judge."

"Those who seriously disrupt the order of the court, such as making noises, attacking the court, insulting, slandering, and beating the judges, will be investigated for criminal responsibility in accordance with the law, and in minor cases, they will be fined."

When there was no sound in the audience, the clerk received a signal from the presiding judge and continued: "Now the bailiffs are invited to enter the court to perform their duties and summon both parties and their authorized attorneys to the court."

"Now, in accordance with the provisions of Article 123, Paragraph 1, of the Chinese Criminal Procedure Law, it is necessary to find out whether the parties and other litigation participants are present in court."

“Will the plaintiff or the plaintiff’s client be present in court?”

The clerk looked at the plaintiff's table. Jiang Chen stood up as a representative and replied: "The plaintiff has arrived in court."

"Is the plaintiff's defense attorney present in court?"

Gou Changzheng stood up and signaled: "We have arrived at the court."

The clerk turned to look at me: "Is the defendant or the defendant's client present in court?"

"We have arrived in court." I said solemnly.

"Is the defendant's defense lawyer present in court?"

No one responded at the court hearing, and the clerk asked again: "Is the defendant's defense lawyer present in court?"

I stared blankly at the empty defense lawyer's seat, and the sound of discussion gradually spread throughout the courtroom.

"It's so pathetic that even the defense attorney abandoned him."

"Why sympathize with a murderer? Such a person deserves to be betrayed and separated from his family."

"It seems that the serial murder case five years ago was related to him. He got away with it last time, and now he continues to commit crimes. It's terrible."

"He's a psychopath. I don't have a problem with him being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts."

"No, I heard from friends in the bureau that this guy seemed to have offended the Jiang family, so he was specifically targeted."

"Not only was he offended, the person he killed was one of the directors of the Jiang family."

"It's not a good thing if a dog bites a dog or even has a hair on its mouth."

Whispers came from the auditorium that had just calmed down, and the clerk raised his voice: "Quiet!"

He frowned and looked at me: "Defendant, didn't you appoint an attorney or hire a defense lawyer?"

"Hired."

"Why hasn't that person arrived yet?"

I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason. I moved my lips and said three words: "I don't know."

The clerk was also stunned. He had never encountered such a thing in his many years of legal work. He turned back to seek the opinion of the presiding judge.

"Move on to the next item." Sitting in the center of the trial platform was a middle-aged man with gray temples, a Chinese character face, and a serious smile. I saw the sign in front of him that read - Presiding Judge Chen Haiyi.

After receiving a reply from the presiding judge, the clerk no longer hesitated: "Neither the plaintiff nor the defendant raised any objections to the appearance of the case, and the qualification certificates and power of attorney submitted to this court for the subject of litigation are also completely consistent."

After he finished speaking, he stepped aside, and the sound of the gavel hitting was heard in the courtroom.

Chen Haiyi, who was sitting in the center of the trial table, said: "The court is now open. The Jiangcheng People's Court is opening a trial of Gao Jian's case in accordance with the law today. It involves intentional homicide, kidnapping, arson, assault on police officers, robbery, violent resistance to arrest, escape, etc. 21 cases One count. Judge Chen Haiyi of this court serves as the presiding judge, and together with Judges Huang Zheng and Yuan Zhong form a collegial panel, and the clerk Li Wei serves as the court recorder."

"First, the plaintiff or his authorized agent reads out the complaint."

After Chen Haiyi finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to the plaintiff's seat.

The specially extended plaintiff's bench was crowded with people, including Jiang Chen, the balding uncle, the convenience store owner, as well as representatives from the public security agency, the road management bureau, etc.

The Jiang family put a lot of effort into determining the charges in the indictment and the final sentencing.

Each of the twenty-one charges is listed in great detail. It can be said that it is well-founded and logically rigorous. Even I, the defendant, could not find any obvious flaws after listening to it.

As each accusation was uttered, exclamations continued to come from the auditorium, and everyone looked at me differently.

"Isn't this guy too cruel?!"

"He looks ordinary, but he actually kills people, escapes, resists arrest, and steals police guns. You should not be judged by his appearance!"

"I can just shoot him, but keeping this man alive will be a disaster."

When the seventeenth charge was read, the courtroom was already boiling. The presiding judge had no choice but to bang his gavel: "Quiet! Do not disturb the order of the court!"

After all the twenty-one charges were read out, the auditorium gradually became quiet, but everyone's eyes fell on me invariably. It seemed that I was the only one in the dock, but the actual aura was much more crowded than that of that group of people. The plaintiff's seat is even more intense.

Chen Haiyi also stared at me for a long time, seeming to be thinking about how mentally twisted a person must be to commit these crimes within three days, dare to confront the police head-on, and even take the initiative to call the police to lure the police into arrest.

"The plaintiff's complaint has been read out. Now, the defendant or his agent will make the defense." After he said this, the whole audience focused on me. Everyone wanted to see me, who didn't even have a defense lawyer. How the criminal will respond.

Eyes piercing my body, my lips are a little pale, maybe because my body has not fully recovered yet.

The other party was well prepared. The twenty-one charges were not made up at random. Each one was determined after careful selection. The Jiang family hired the most professional team of lawyers, whether it was from the perspective of logic, criminal motive, or criminal motive. The reasons are all analyzed very well.

I can't argue with that because most of what they said is true.

Attacking the police, snatching police cars, taxis, snatching police guns, resisting arrest, etc., these things all really happened. They have surveillance videos and a lot of witnesses. No matter what I say, they can overturn my words. .

Seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, Chen Haiyi urged me again: "Defendant, do you have anything to refute to the plaintiff's twenty-one accusations?"

"It's really like five years ago. Maybe I shouldn't meddle in my own business at all. When the flood comes, I don't know if you can still sit here well-dressed and accuse me." I remembered the eighth time at this moment I didn’t understand the true meaning of the text message sent by Underworld Show before the live broadcast, “You stood beside them, you were pushed into the abyss by them.” It’s only now.

"This is indeed the abyss of death." I thought quickly in my mind. Although Du Yu didn't arrive on time, some of his previous words inspired me.

Even if I really killed the person, I can’t admit it! Yes, the root of these twenty-one charges lies in the death case of Jiang Long. In the death case of Jiang Long, they could not completely prove that I was the murderer. In a case where the manner of death of the deceased was not clear, in just three days, How is it possible to establish a complete chain of evidence within?

"Defendant, if you are ready to give up your plea, we will..."

"Give up? Why give up?" Although I was wearing a prison uniform, my body remained upright. My eyes swept across the hall and finally landed on the plaintiff's seat: "I was wrongly accused. None of their twenty-one accusations are true!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

"The surveillance video is almost turned into a personal photo album, and you still have the audacity to say that you were wrongly accused?"

"You have all the witnesses and material evidence and you still want to make excuses. Do you think the plaintiff's lawyer is just a loser?"

"He committed murder, arson, assaulted the police and escaped, and now he can still remain calm and find the loopholes in the case. This guy has a very good psychological quality!"

"Quiet!" The court session had only lasted for more than ten minutes. Chen Haiyi had already shouted for silence many times. This had never happened in previous public trials.

He banged the gavel: "The plaintiff and defendant have finished their statements, now let's move on to the next item - cross-examination!"

The cross-examination link can be said to be the most critical part of the court trial. The defendant and plaintiff need to show the evidence collected to everyone including jurors and observers.

The evidence listed in the cross-examination session will become the key to the subsequent debate and the basis for the debate.

"The plaintiff will explain the source of the evidence, the matters to be proved, and the purpose of the evidence, and the defendant will conduct cross-examination."

Chen Haiyi nodded towards the plaintiff, and the lawyer in the plaintiff's seat who was in a suit, expensive glasses, and hairspray stood up: "Plaintiff's lawyer, Gou Changzheng, requests the judge to summon the first witness to the court!"
