"Your Honor, everyone saw it just now."
"During the communication between Ma Ming and Li Huihui, the plaintiff, Ms. Li Huihui, always took the leading role."
"That is to say"
"She reported to the police that Ma Ming had raped her, but the charges were not proven."
……
The video ended and the truth was revealed.
Although Ma Ming's groping was not very moral at the beginning,
Li
Huihui did not resist and was very proactive.
This contradicts the definition of rape.
Legally, rape refers to forcing the victim to have sex with him/her by force or other means without the victim's consent.
Ma Ming's behavior is not rape at all.
"Hmm...Does the plaintiff's attorney have any other comments?"
"if there is not"
"We, the judges and the jury, will refer to the current evidence and conduct a second determination on Ma Ming's rape charge."
Presiding Judge Feng Jianjun signaled Zhao Qiuxia
""Judge, I have no objection!"
Zhao Qiuxia's mentality collapsed, and she openly slacked off in court.
It was because Li Huihui concealed something from her that the lawsuit came to this point.
Zhao Qiuxia hated Li Huihui to death.
"Since the plaintiff has no objection, we will now proceed to determine the charges."
The presiding judge Feng Jianjun knocked the gavel, and the jury members exchanged opinions while flipping through the legal documents.
Five minutes later, the sound of the gavel hitting the table was heard again in the quiet courtroom.
"Based on the currently known evidence, after in-depth discussion by our judges and jury,"
"In the name of the People's Court of Jingzhou City"
"Now announce"
"Defendant Ma Ming not guilty of rape"
"The plaintiff, Ms. Li Huihui, filed a lawsuit requesting that Ma Ming be sentenced to ten years in prison for rape, which was rejected."
"Other"
"The plaintiff's second claim, seeking 300,000 yuan in compensation from the defendant Ma Ming on the grounds of mental compensation, was rejected."
……
On the bench, presiding judge Feng Jianjun read out the verdict aloud.
"Unbelievable, Lin Chuan actually cleared Ma Ming of all charges. I thought it was hopeless at first."
"He doesn't have to go to jail and saves three hundred thousand yuan. Shouldn't Ma Ming kowtow to Lin Chuan?"
"It’s amazing. Look at the plaintiff’s lawyer Zhao Qiuxia, she dived directly in the courtroom. Her mentality collapsed!"
……
The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't believe their ears.
Lin Chuan actually succeeded in his defense.
The most excited person was Ma Ming.
When he heard the not guilty verdict, his heart was pounding.
When he heard that Li Huihui's second appeal was also rejected, his knees softened instantly.
""Lawyer Lin Chuan, thank you so much, you are really my second parent!"
If it weren't for Lin Chuan's support,
Ma Ming's legs would have gone weak and he would have fallen to the ground.
"As for what the plaintiff's lawyer said at the opening of the trial... that he would sue the plaintiff, Ms. Li Huihui, for raping Ma Ming"
"Dear defendant’s lawyer Lin Chuan, are you serious?"
"If you are serious, please state the reasons for your accusation."
The presiding judge Feng Jianjun was sweating.
He was worried about this trial.
"???"
"Your Honor, it's fine if Ma Ming's rape charge is expunged."
"They want to sue me for rape? Isn't this bullying?……"
The plaintiff Li Huihui was frightened and cried.
She didn't expect the lawsuit to be reversed, and now she was sued for rape!
She was very scared because her lawyer had given up.
If Lin Chuan really insisted on suing her for rape, who would defend her?
"presiding judge"
"After discussing with my client, we decided to magnanimously give up the counter-charge against Li Huihui for rape."
Lin Chuan smiled as he faced the court.
At the beginning of the trial, he did say that he would not only clear Ma Ming of the charges, but also counter-sue the woman, Li Huihui, for rape.
But that was just a psychological tactic.
It's like going to a clothing store to buy clothes. If you want to buy a piece of clothing for 50 yuan
, it won't work if you ask the boss directly if 50 yuan is okay. The final transaction price will definitely be more than 50 yuan. But if you tell the boss that 20 yuan is okay, the boss will bargain with you. He says 90, you say 30, and you slowly bargain until you can finally buy it for 50 yuan. This is called the 'compromise effect' in psychology.
’
"Not suing me anymore?"
"Thank you!"
After hearing Lin Chuan's answer,
Li Huihui stopped crying immediately, feeling relieved.
However, she was not happy for more than three seconds, as Lin Chuan continued:
"I will not sue for rape, but I will sue the plaintiff, Ms. Li Huihui, for fraud."
Legally, rape can only be used to protect women.
If a man is raped and he reports it to the police, even if there is irrefutable evidence, the woman who raped him will not be sentenced.
Although it is very unfair, it is the fact.
Therefore, even if Lin Chuan proves that Li Huihui raped Ma Ming, it will be useless.
At most, she will apologize in court, but she will not be sentenced or fined.
Even if she turns around and walks away without apologizing, no one can stop her.
"What? Why did it change to fraud again?" Feng
Jianjun had just wiped the sweat off his forehead.
He thought the court would close and he would be gone for the day, but he didn't expect
Lin Chuan to do something weird again. Feng Jianjun felt exhausted both physically and mentally.
"No...Li Huihui, how many things have you hidden from me?"
"You are still a fraudster!"
"I can't defend you anymore, and I don't want any lawyer fees."
"Sorry, I need to go to the hospital to make an appointment now. I feel my high blood pressure is acting up.……"
Zhao Qiuxia has learned her lesson. As long as Lin Chuan dares to accuse Li Huihui of fraud, it means that it is true.
She would rather believe Lin Chuan than
Li Huihui.
���It's safe.
After all, Lin Chuan has sent the opposing lawyer to jail before.
She should go!
Although it's embarrassing, if she is involved in the stigma of defending a fraudster, or is really sent to jail, it will not be worth it.
"Lawyer Zhao, how could I... be a fraudster?"
"Please trust me!"
"Don't leave."
"If you leave, who will defend me?"
Li Huihui tried to keep Zhao Qiuxia, but Zhao Qiuxia ignored her.
She stood up, turned around, and left!
She disappeared in the courtroom with a set of smooth movements.
"Plaintiff's lawyer! If you have anything to say, please raise your hands. You cannot act on your own in court."
Presiding Judge Feng Jianjun shouted at the top of his voice, but Zhao Qiuxia had already disappeared from his sight.
A voice floated from the door.
"I won't fight this lawsuit anymore."
"Whoever wants to fight can fight!"
