(Call out the slogan, ask for a subscription, go for a boutique!)

...

in court.

Lin Yumeng's closing statement continued.

An excellent closing statement can turn the tide and turn the tide.

It can deflect the already deadlocked trial, and let the hesitant jurors make judgments in their favor.

And now, Lin Yumeng's closing statement had this effect.

"Because I'm stupid, I can't make a very powerful closing statement. I can only explain the situation of the case to everyone here. I hope you don't think I'm stupid."

As Lin Yumeng said, he picked up the document Zhang Wei gave him, and started to flip through it from the beginning.

"Let's first confirm why the witness appeared at the crime scene. Because he received a call from a stranger, he followed the stranger's advice without any doubt and went to the crime scene."

"The witness said he didn't know who this stranger was, but I can tell you with certainty that this person is not my client, because he didn't call the witness that day, he didn't know the witness at all, and the two had no intersection. "

"Then when the armed robbery happened, the witness said he saw tattoos, he saw a man threatening him with a knife, but he didn't see what the man looked like because he was too scared to look at the man. s face."

"Then the question is, why was he able to instruct my client in the first place without even seeing the other party's face clearly?"

Among the jury, some were really lost in thought.

After Lin Yumeng asked a question, she turned over a page of the document again and asked and answered on the spot:

"Because the field service caught my client and asked witnesses to identify my client without comparison."

"Although I am stupid, I also know one thing, that is, people who are caught by the field service are generally not good people. I believe everyone in the jury also has this idea. When you walk on the street, you see a A man with tattoos and a very vicious face is interrogated by the field office, what is your first reaction?"

"Is he a bad man?"

In the jury, someone nodded unconsciously.

"Yeah, I think so too!"

Lin Yumeng also nodded, and immediately answered: "However, my master told me that these are all your preconceived ideas, and they are not advisable. As a rational legal practitioner, you can't just use one-sided subjective Judge a person by impression!"

"Like the defendant in this case, he was in such a situation at the time. He was held up by two field agents, and then the witness was called over by the field agents to testify after being robbed. So what was his first reaction? ? Will you take it for granted after seeing the field work..."

"Oh, it's this guy, he must be the one who robbed me!"

"Although I'm stupid, I also think so. If I was robbed at that time, I would also like to catch the suspect earlier. When I saw that the field service caught a person who looked like the suspect, I would definitely think that he was the robber. my people."

After Lin Yumeng said this, she looked at the jury box.

"But do you know that this testimony is inadmissible, because the Wushu Association did not line up my client and other possible suspects, and let the witnesses choose the suspect themselves. They only gave one suspect at that time, and the witnesses did not even You need to make a choice, you may think that the witness recognized the suspect, but I can tell you that such testimony is interfered by the supervisor's consciousness, and cannot be used as evidence for accusation!"

"So the next morning, the Wushu Association notified the witness and asked him to testify again. As I said before, the witness did not pick out the person who robbed him from the list of suspects, but the one who robbed him among the suspects. The person who was testified by him last night, that is, my client, is selected. In my opinion, such testimonies are also inadmissible, disturbed, and cannot be used as evidence for accusation!"

Lin Yumeng emphasized it again in front of the jurors, but her heart beat fast when she spoke.

Because facing 12 jurors at once, she still couldn't be as calm and composed as Zhang Wei.

She paused, took a deep breath to calm herself, and continued to turn the pages.

"Next, I asked about the wallet again. I asked the witness if the wallet that was robbed was found?"

"The witness replied no, the loot was not found."

"Is that weird?"

As Lin Yumeng spoke, she acted like she was thinking.

"The same question, did the Wuxie find the wallet on my client, and it didn't. That's why there is no physical evidence in this case. The most important stolen goods from the robbery did not appear. In fact, there are only witnesses to testify in this case, and testimonies are not available. Believe it."

"You may be wondering, in fact, I also asked the master, because I am stupid, I have to ask the master for everything."

"I asked the master, if the wallet is gone, doesn't it mean that my witness is innocent and didn't rob others? But he replied like this. The martial arts association may guess that the suspect lost the wallet in the middle. But I think it's weird, If a person robs a wallet, it is impossible to know that he will be caught immediately, why should he throw away the wallet in advance, isn't it a waste of money?"

Hearing this question and answer, the 12 jurors in the jury box all looked at each other in blank dismay.

Although this girl looks stupid, what she said does make sense.

How could Ying Qingli know that he was about to be arrested when he ran away at night? If he lost his wallet in a panic while running away, he might be found by the Wuxi Association.

And if you throw away the "harvest" indiscriminately, you may not be able to find a place, so wouldn't it be a waste of money?

"So, I think this case is very clear. The testimony of the witnesses is not credible, there is no evidence, and there is no surveillance record in the underground parking lot. No one can be 100% sure. It was my client who robbed witness."

"Also, do you have doubts about where the witnesses are? In fact, I'm also curious. Unfortunately, the prosecutor didn't allow me to ask questions. I don't dare to ask why."

"Then let's turn our focus back to the case. My master told me that there is a basic human rights protection agreement in criminal trials called "no doubt". I'm stupid and don't know what it means, so I My master told me that at the trial stage, if the existing evidence is not enough to prove the defendant's guilt or innocence, he should be presumed innocent. "

"I believe it is suitable for this case, because my client is really innocent, please believe me."

"Although he looks a bit fierce and doesn't look like a good person, this is not the reason for his guilt. Although I am stupid, I also know that people should not be judged by their appearance. Don't you think so?"

"Well, my closing arguments are over."

Having said that, Lin Yumeng bowed to the jury and thanked:

"Thank you for listening so much. I know I'm stupid, and this is my first closing statement. I'm actually very nervous. Thank you for not despising me. I've listened for so long~"

The jurors watched her walk back to the defense bench, and many of them fell into deep thought.

The judge also glanced at Lin Yumeng, feeling a little suspicious.

Such a closing statement is not something a rookie can make.

He has also seen many newcomers in court for the first time in court. Some of these people can't even speak well, and some of them are so frightened that their legs and feet are shaking.

Lin Yumeng's performance is already very, very good.

"Since the closing statements of both parties have ended, please follow me into the conference room to discuss the verdict!"

"Temporary adjournment!"

With the judge's announcement, the court was temporarily dissolved.

"Huh~~"

Lin Yumeng let out a long breath, and took several deep breaths on the defense bench.

"Xiaomeng, your closing statement was great!"

Tie Ruyun was the first to step forward, with an excited expression.

Lin Yumeng's closing statement touched him a lot.

Although he knew that Zhang Wei had helped her a lot, Lin Yumeng's performance in court had surpassed any newcomer he had seen before.

Of course, except for the odd number Zhang Wei...

"Yeah, your performance is better than mine!"

Li Yueqin's tone was a little sour amidst the excitement. She didn't know if she was jealous of Lin Yumeng's performance, or because she was jealous of Zhang Wei's help.

All in all, while she was happy, she also felt that Lin Yumeng's performance was far behind her.

"I don't know anything, I just follow what my master taught me."

Lin Yumeng said "modestly", and gave all the credit to Zhang Wei.

As for Zhang Wei, he was still sitting on the hearing stand, and beside him was Xiao Baihe who had a bad face.

"Do you think you have won again?" Xiao Baihe's expression was unfriendly, and his tone was very aggressive.

"Actually, I think we can win-win!"

Zhang Wei's words made her slightly taken aback.

"What's the meaning?"

"Wait here for me!"

Zhang Wei said, and walked directly to the dock.

Xiao Baihe saw that Zhang Wei pulled Lin Yumeng and walked up to Ying Qingli, and the three of them discussed for a while.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Wei went to the prosecution's seat and chatted with Tan Yingying for a while.

Although Tan Yingying looked very scared, she nodded in response to what Zhang Wei said.

Finally, Zhang Wei waved to Xiao Baihe, signaling her to go over.

"What the hell is this guy doing!"

Although Xiao Baihe was in a very upset mood, she could only get up and walk over.

5 minutes later, the judge's office.

The prosecution and the defense gathered together, and the presiding judge also left the meeting room and came here.

"What's the situation between the prosecution and the defense? The jurors will discuss the results soon!"

"Your Excellency, we know that the result will come out soon, but please listen to us, we have reached an agreement between the prosecution and the defense!"

As Zhang Wei said, he hooked his hand to one side.

Tan Yingying stepped forward immediately: "Your Honor, our prosecution is going to withdraw the charges against the defendant Ying Qingli!"

"Withdraw the charges?"

Although the judge was surprised, he understood.

Because of the situation discussed by the jury, the form of the prosecution is not very good. If there is no accident, the case should be acquitted.

"Are you also sure about the defense?" So the judge asked the defense again.

The wind of the jury is now in your favor, a fool can see this, but you don't want to acquit?

Zhang Wei patted Lin Yumeng on the shoulder, and the latter nodded immediately:

"Your Excellency, we have reached an agreement between the prosecution and the defense, and the defense has also agreed!"

"Okay, then I will inform the jury later. Since you have discussed it, I have no objection!"

The judge nodded and returned to the conference room, where he was going to inform the jury that the charges had been dropped.

When a group of four came out of the office, Xiao Baihe was the first to be puzzled.

"Zhang Wei, you should have won. Why did you ask us to drop the charges and say we want a win-win situation?"

"It's very simple. Your little follower joined the felony division. If you lose the first felony case, wouldn't you have to go back to the misdemeanor division?"

"What's the difference between dismissal and innocence?"

"If you withdraw the case, you will look better, and I have a gift for you!"

As Zhang Wei said, he waved to Tie Ruyun, Li Yueqin and the defendant Ying Qingli who were waiting in the corridor.

The three hurried over to meet up.

"Next, after the judge announces that the prosecution has withdrawn the case, we need to find a conference room to discuss the next steps." Zhang Wei immediately suggested.

The announcement of the dismissal came quickly, and the court was dissolved.

Zhang Wei and his party immediately entered a meeting room, and everyone sat around together.

Zhang Wei dialed the number of Wu Yong from the serious crime team and turned on the loudspeaker so that the other party could also hear the content of the meeting.

"Captain Wu, can you hear me?"

"Of course, I heard it very clearly, but isn't your kid in court, what do you want from me?"

"Of course it's about the case in your hands. I have also agreed with the prosecution. Since they have been asked to withdraw one case, they will be given a new one!"

As Zhang Wei said, he looked at Ying Qingli.

"Ying Qingli, how much do you know about your boss, Wang Tianmeng?"

Hearing this name, Wu Yong on the other end of the phone was suddenly taken aback.

Tan Yingying and Xiao Baihe were slightly curious, who is this Wang Tianmeng?

"I don't know much about my boss. I'm the driver who drives him."

"What I want is you, the driver. Do you know what bank he usually goes to?"

"I know, he usually goes to the "Baihua Bank" branch in Chengnan District, which is not far from his company's old street. "

"Then do you know who he usually goes to see, or the group of younger brothers under him, what kind of business are they doing?"

"I know a little about this, but our boss treats me well, and I turn a blind eye to his business. I..."

Hearing that Ying Qingli still wanted to show loyalty, Zhang Wei smiled slightly.

"Then you know, does your boss plan to let you take the blame?"

"What's the meaning?"

"What I said is very understandable. Your boss intends to push all this on your head, including business matters, and he is also ready to make you a dead ghost."

As Zhang Wei said, he also took out a document.

"Your boss thinks he's doing it secretly, but it's not. He opened an account in the bank in the name of his relative, and just transferred a sum of money out a few days ago. The money is 150,000. In the account of an ordinary worker, I wondered at first that there was something wrong with this worker, and then I found out through investigation that this worker had a younger brother who killed someone a few years ago and is still imprisoned in the Iron Island Prison."

"Guess, why did Wang Tianmeng transfer this money to a murderer? I can tell you that he and that prisoner are neither related nor related, and they had nothing to do with each other before..."

"Oh, by the way, Prosecutor Tan Yingying, I would like to ask, if Ying Qingli is convicted, where will he be sent?"

After Tan Yingying heard this, she immediately explained: "Ordinary armed robbery would not be imprisoned in Iron Island Prison, but the defendant Ying Qingli has many previous convictions, and the judge will consider these effects. I guess the probability is Iron Island Prison... "

Hearing Zhang Wei's suspicion, Tan Yingying's explanation, Ying Qingli's face changed wildly.

Looking at the bank transfer records, he couldn't calm down for a long time.

These clues were already obvious, and Ying Qingli was not a fool, so he could see Wang Tianmeng's intentions at a glance.

"But this robbery?"

"Do you still remember that I asked the little apprentice to ask a question, asking the witness if he knew Wang Tianmeng? Although he didn't answer, his expression told me everything!"

"Zhang Wei, you mean, Wang Tianmeng signaled that person to frame the defendant in your case?"

On the phone, Wu Yong also noticed something strange.

"Yes, it should be so!"

"If I'm not wrong, after Wang Tianmeng framed Ying Qingli, he created the illusion that Ying Qingli committed suicide in prison, and then prepared a confession, blaming Ying Qingli for all his crimes of usury. After all, a driver who often acts with him is the best candidate to be a scapegoat!"

As Zhang Wei said, he looked at Ying Qingli.

"I don't know if you've heard a saying that you have to pay back sooner or later when you come out to hang out. When you choose to introspect and find the former boss Wang Tianmeng, you and him are no longer fellow travelers. He is clearly doing something illegal. It's a strange thing to keep you by my side even though it's business!"

"Lawyer, do I have no choice now?"

"Yes, if my guess is correct, you should have some criminal records about Wang Tianmeng, right? Don't tell me, you have been his driver for so long, and you really don't know anything about his business. Have you ever You are also a daoist, so you should be aware of your situation?"

"Well, I know, very clearly!"

Ying Qingli nodded emphatically, and then told the two prosecutors and Wu Yong on the phone about Wang Tianmeng.

After 30 minutes, his presentation ended.

"These testimonies should be enough to prosecute him. As for the arrest warrant for Wang Tianmeng, please ask the judge to sign it on the grounds of obstructing justice and interfering with witnesses!"

Zhang Wei said, looking at the time, "There is still time left today, the judge should still be in the office, you should act quickly!"

He urged Tan Yingying and Xiao Baihe to act quickly. Whether Ying Qingli's case will be withdrawn is not the key.

Wang Tianmeng is the boss!

"That's right, Prosecutor Xiao Baihe, we've been keeping an eye on Wang Tianmeng, and now we need a search warrant and an arrest warrant. After you sign the arrest warrant, I'll apply for a search warrant and turn his company upside down. Are you afraid you won’t find any clues?”

On the other end of the phone, Wu Yong also urged.

Xiao Baihe gestured with her eyes, and Tan Yingying acted immediately, rushing to the judge's office in a hurry.

"Zhang Wei, you actually helped us this time, but I still want to say thank you. If Wang Tianmeng can be arrested, I owe you a favor!"

Although Xiao Baihe didn't want to admit it, if Wang Tianmeng was arrested this time, she would really have to thank Zhang Wei.

"What is human and unkind, who are we with whom!"

Zhang Wei chuckled, but suddenly reached out to Xiao Baihe.

"Stop talking nonsense, 500 yuan, oh, no, the agreement is 500 yuan per person, and the two of me and the little apprentice are 1000 yuan!"

"you……"

In Xiao Baihe's heart, the slight affection for Zhang Wei disappeared in an instant with these words!
