Chapter 290: Court Opens, Defense of Innocence!
"Hey, my little baby is here." Sun Chong looked at the secretary who walked in with long legs in black stockings.
"Boss Sun, something bad has happened!" The secretary ran over and showed Sun Chong the latest online popularity list.
Sun Chong was about to take action, but after seeing the popularity list on the tablet, his expression froze and he immediately took the tablet.
"Boss Sun, will such high popularity affect our drug sales?"
At this time when the popularity is the highest, if pharmaceutical companies sell drugs at high prices, they will inevitably become the target of public criticism and be spurned by the whole country.
The secretary was worried.
Sun Chong certainly understood this, but he laughed after reading it: "Haha, this Lin Mo is indeed a lawyer of the new era, and he actually knows how to use online public opinion."
"But!"
Sun Chong sneered: "Don't forget that human nature is inherently bad, and our medicines are not sold immediately, and it will take some time for foreign pharmaceutical companies to take effect."
"It took several months for our import authorization to take effect.
By then, the heat of the incident had subsided, so who would care about this case?
All online cases over the years have been like this, but they are all netizens. It's just their carnival. Once the heat is over, he can do whatever he wants. It won't affect the facts at all.
And we sell drugs for rare diseases. You should know that these patients with rare diseases only account for a small part, and their own voices can be ignored.
Who will care about them when the heat of the case is over?
If they want to survive, they must buy drugs.
Want to smuggle generic drugs?
Then look at Tang Chi's fate!
That's a death sentence, so they have to buy our drugs even if they don't want to!
Hahaha!"
After saying that, Sun Chong laughed wantonly, and his laughter was full of disdain.
-
Time passed day by day.
The day of the trial was getting closer and closer.
On the last night, Lin Mo sorted out all the information.
This time, it is not only to clear Tang Chi's name, but the most important thing is to allow patients with epilepsy or other rare diseases to take cheap drugs.
The key is to use this case to expand the heat and attract the attention and attention of the country.
This country is too big, and the voices of patients with rare diseases are too weak to be heard before, so now Lin Mo wants to speak to them!
Lin Mo looked up at the moonlight outside the window, feeling a little melancholy.
Xia Ling had already collapsed from exhaustion, and was lying on the bed with a slight groan.
Then Lin Mo looked at Xia Ling's case, and smiled helplessly and dotingly: "This girl is really a tiger. She took such a big case without telling me in advance, and wanted to solve it by herself, and almost fell into someone else's trap."
The mobile phone on the table lit up, and it was a message from Teacher Liu Su and Qiu Ying.
One was asking about the case, and the other was asking about Xia Ling's situation.
Lin Mo replied: "Everything is fine, don't worry."
Then attached a picture of Xia Ling sleeping soundly on the bed.
Liu Su: "The weather is very cold, don't catch a cold, you two."
Qiu Ying: "Cover Xiao Ling with a quilt quickly, and you should also cover yourself with a quilt at night!"
Lin Mo smiled knowingly, the law firm is now more and more like a big family.
The next day.
At the entrance of Guicheng Intermediate Court.
Although Guicheng is a small city, there are still many reporters from big media rushing to the scene.
Lin Mo and Xia Ling came on stage for interviews.
Lin Mo refused the interview from a single reporter, but took the initiative to speak to everyone: "Everyone, I will do my best to defend Mr. Tang Chi's innocence."
As soon as the innocence defense came out, all the reporters in the audience showed surprised eyes, and then full of admiration.
After that, Lin Mo took Xia Ling into the court.
The court's audience seats were full, including Dean Liu Feng, and some parents of patients who worked outside also rushed back. Their clothes were relatively old, and their faces were vicissitudes. At first glance, they had been doing heavy labor for many years.
They surrounded Liu Feng, their eyes full of worry.
For them, Tang Chi and Liu Feng were the lifesavers of their children, how could they not worry?
Gao Chi also attended on behalf of the Guicheng Procuratorate and was listed as the prosecutor. There was also a younger assistant beside him with a sinister look.
Xia Ling whispered to Lin Mo: "Boss, the assistant next to Gao Chi was sent by Sun Pharmaceutical."
Lin Mo nodded. This should be the person sent by Sun Chong to supervise Gao Chi. No need to pay attention.
Not long after, Huo Zheng and the other two judges entered the court.
Lin Mo looked and saw that the other two judges were no longer the two young judges in the pre-court meeting, but two older ones.
It seems that this case has attracted the attention of the court, otherwise the judges would not be changed in the middle.
This should be the strongest combat power of the Criminal Court of the Intermediate Court.
"Everyone stand up!"
The clerk shouted.
Shua.
Everyone stood up.
Huo Zheng walked up to the judge's seat with a serious face, and the other two judges also had serious faces.
Then the staff began to verify the identities of Lin Mo and Gao Chi.
At the same time, the clerk began to read out the trial rules.
"One..."
"Two..."
The reading is over.
The identity verification is completed.
Dong!
Huo Zheng knocked the gavel: "The court is now in session!"
"The cause of this case is that the defendant Tang Chi smuggled and sold clobazam and other Class II controlled psychotropic drugs, with a total amount of 512 kilograms... Because of the huge social impact, this case has been publicly broadcast for trial."
"Now bring the parties involved in the case to court..."
Then Tang Chi was hugged by two bailiffs and walked to the center of the court.
The bailiffs' hands were not very strong, but gently like supporting.
All the procedures of the court session were completed.
Huo Zheng first looked at Tang Chi and asked directly: "Defendant, do you plead guilty?"
"I do not plead guilty." Tang Chi said directly.
Huo Zheng continued to ask: "Defendant Tang Chi, now you can defend yourself, or let your client defend you."
Tang Chi glanced at Lin Mo: "I entrust my defense lawyer to defend me."
After confirming, Huo Zheng looked at the prosecutor's seat: "Now please ask the prosecutor to put forward your lawsuit request."
Gao Chi nodded, and then took out the manuscript: "Judge, our lawsuit request is as follows"
"First, the defendant Tang Chi has been smuggling abroad for many years, bringing drugs into the country, and selling them. The amount is huge, and the evidence is conclusive. I think he should be sentenced to death."
"Second, Tang Chi is also involved in illegal business operations, and the circumstances are very bad. He should be sentenced to illegal business operations."
"Judge, my statement is over."
Then Huo Zheng looked at the defendant's seat: "Defendant's lawyer, what is your opinion?"
At this time, the live broadcast has been turned on.
There are a large number of people watching in the live broadcast rooms of all anchors.
Luo Daxiang was surprised at the large traffic today.
There are 60,000 people watching.
At this time, everyone looked at Lin Mo.
The interview with Lin Mo outside the court just now was not broadcast live, and the news was updated slowly, so at present no one knows how Lin Mo will defend himself.
