Becoming a lawyer starts with raising a Xiezhi

Chapter 263 The Difference Between Animals and Humans

Meng Lang's words made the eyes of the judge on the trial bench shine again. First of all, Zhang Cheng's behavior must be immoral and improper. The reason why he fell down the stairs is closely related to his cheating with other women .

Secondly, Zhang Cheng took the risk of being condemned by the society to date a woman. He was aware of this risk, and the consequences should be borne by him personally.

Furthermore, when Li Hao and others kicked the door, they didn't know that Zhang Cheng would climb out of the window and cause him to fall from the building. On this issue, he had neither intention nor negligence.

There was no direct physical contact between Li Hao and Zhang Cheng. It was Zhang Cheng's own fault that caused Zhang Cheng to fall from the building. He chose to climb out of the window and fell down accidentally.

The plaintiff has always believed that it was the actions of Li Hao and others that caused Zhang Cheng to be frightened and fall from the building. In fact, if he was just frightened, Zhang Cheng would not have fallen from the building, and this fright was the result of Zhang Cheng's self-choice, because he Doing this kind of thing is taking a certain risk. Even if Li Hao and others don't kick down the door, as long as there is any disturbance, it will still cause a fright.

Meng Lang and Niu Zhao explained these reasons one by one, the judge nodded repeatedly, and the plaintiff's lawyer became greener the more he listened.

After agency defense, the case was successfully won. The judge ruled that the defendant Li Hao and his friends were not liable, but the hotel had to bear 5.00% of the compensation liability, which was only tens of thousands of dollars, because there was no guardrail outside the window. .

The hotel is tantamount to being taken advantage of.

But the hotel had money. After the judge's ruling, the hotel was initially dissatisfied, but after thinking about it, it decided not to appeal and accepted the verdict.

As an operator, the law has stricter obligations to him. Therefore, when encountering such a thing, the judge will most likely judge them to bear certain responsibilities.

After handling this case, Meng Lang earned more than 40 experience points. Civil cases earned less experience points, but sometimes civil cases are also very interesting, so he still likes to handle interesting civil cases.

At this time, he encountered another criminal case, but instead of defending the defendant, he defended the victim's family.

It was a crime of robbery, which happened ten years ago, but it was not solved until now.

After Meng Lang took over the commission, he went to the procuratorate to copy the files. The case happened to be handled by Zheng Yihong. When the two met, they looked at each other and smiled.

Knowing that he was a lawyer hired by the victim's family, Zheng Yihong treated him more kindly and copied all the materials to him.

After copying, Zheng Yihong said: "This case is very bad. The two defendants broke into a house and robbed them. They killed three people and nearly wiped out their family. After killing people, they fled to other places. The police never caught them. Now it’s finally caught, take a look, if there is any problem, let’s communicate.”

When Meng Lang heard about this situation, he nodded and said, "Prosecutor Zheng, we are comrades in the same trench again now, don't worry, I will do my best to help you accuse the crime."

Zheng Yihong smiled and said: "You are a responsible lawyer, we have a happy cooperation."

When meng lang came back from the procuratorate, he was shocked to see the appalling scene. This robbery case was too bloody.

Although it has been ten years, but seeing the photos of the scene again now, I can still feel the horror at that time.The victim was lying on the ground in a pool of blood. Three corpses, two adults and one child, were almost wiped out.

At that time, the family still had a teenage child who was not at home because he was going to school and survived. Now he came to entrust him as the attorney.

When Niu Zhao came over and saw it, she was so frightened that she turned around and left. Although she had seen such photos before, she still felt scared after seeing them now.

At the time of the incident, the two defendants were very young and had just grown up. Now they are almost thirty, but ten years cannot wash away their crimes. Can't understand the hatred.

Meng Lang looked carefully at the case file and felt that the evidence collected by the police was quite solid. The two defendants also admitted that they had robbed and murdered, but they had different opinions on who proposed to do this.

This situation is also normal. It is common for co-defendants to shirk responsibility from each other. In this case, the two of them share the responsibility.

On the day of the court hearing, Meng Lang asked Niu Zhao to go with him, and Niu Zhao agreed. As long as she was not allowed to see the photos, she could go to the court as Meng Lang's assistant and accompany him to the court hearing.

Both defendants hired lawyers, and they were both lawyers from the same law firm, both from Jindicheng.

By law, a lawyer cannot represent more than two defendants in the same case because it would involve a conflict of interest and increase the risk of collusion between the two defendants.

However, there is no regulation as to whether lawyers from the same law firm can provide defense for more than two defendants in the same case. Therefore, some law firms have done this, and the court has no way to stop it.

The two defendants now have money in their families, so they spent a lot of money to hire two lawyers from Jindicheng.

These two lawyers were veteran lawyers with rich experience in criminal cases. After seeing them, meng lang knew them, so he greeted them.

When the two of them saw him, they just smiled and didn't say much.

In front of them, meng lang was just a rookie in the Hanzhou criminal lawyer circle, and compared with their criminal defense experience, there was still a long way to go.

The victim's family members also came over. With a look of grief and anger on his face, Meng Lang told him not to get excited when the defendants appeared in court. He would find a way to get the two defendants to plead guilty and bring them to justice, so that they would get the punishment they deserved.

The victim's family members nodded, but when the bailiff brought the two defendants to court, he still couldn't suppress the hatred in his heart, stood up and pointed at the two defendants and said loudly: "Why did you kill my parents? , Kill my sister? You are too cruel!"

He didn't scold them, but just blamed them. It can be said that the family members of the victim were relatively calm. Meng Lang hurriedly stopped him and asked him to sit down and calm down for a while.

The two defendants were reprimanded, standing there with their heads down and not speaking. They may also regret their actions at the beginning, but this regret is only because they have to take responsibility afterwards. If they don't need to take responsibility, they don't have this This is the difference between a beast and a human being.
