Becoming a lawyer starts with raising a Xiezhi

Chapter 264 Evidence Raid
After the two defendants appeared in court, the judge announced the opening of the court.

The first defendant was first interrogated by prosecutor Zheng Yihong.

The first defendant was very wretched, short in stature, with small eyes that wandered around. He only became honest when the judge and prosecutor looked at him.

Zheng Yihong looked at him and asked, "First defendant, is your statement in the investigative agency true?"

"True." The first defendant rolled his eyes and answered honestly.

"Who proposed joint robbery between you and the second defendant?"

"Wang Yong suggested the robbery." The second defendant, Wang Yong, replied to Zheng Yihong.

"What was your opinion?"

"I didn't want to agree at the time, but he insisted on robbing, so I finally had to agree."

"Do you mean that the second accused forced you to rob?"

"Almost." The first defendant's small eyes started to roll around again.

"How did you get into the victim's house?" Zheng Yihong didn't pay attention to what he said, as it didn't affect the overall situation.

"Wang Yong and I climbed over the wall to get in, and then went up to the second floor of their house." The first defendant replied.

"You continue." Zheng Yihong said.

The first defendant said: "After climbing over the wall, Wang Yong and I went to the second floor quietly, and left if we wanted to steal something. Who knew that Wang Yong couldn't find anything of value after searching for a long time. I said let's go quickly." , don’t let people find out, but Wang Yong didn’t listen, he insisted on finding something valuable, and in the end, his family members found out.”

"What happened after you found out?" Zheng Yihong asked.

The first defendant glanced at her and replied: "After I found out, I hid it, and Wang Yong hid it too. Who knows that the male owner of the house found out that someone had entered the house, so he looked around, but Wang Yong didn't hide it. Seeing that he found out, Wang Yong acted first. After I saw him, I hurried forward to help, and killed the man. After killing the man, the mistress of the house also found out. Let's see , I panicked, and Wang Yong said to me, if you don’t do anything, if you don’t stop, you must kill the hostess, so I went with him to kill the hostess, and then found that there was a little girl , we felt that we could not keep alive, so we killed her too."

The first defendant spoke calmly, but to the victim's family, every sentence was tears. These two beasts are too cruel. They kill people as soon as they say they want to, even his five-year-old sister!
"How did you kill the victim?" Zheng Yihong asked again.

The first defendant said: "At that time, he was killed with a knife, with a knife."

"How many times did you stab the victim?"

"Forgot, there are a lot of knives."

"What about after killing someone?"

"After killing people, we ran away quickly, and then we didn't dare to go home again, and we have been working and living outside."

Zheng Yihong quickly finished asking.

The judge asked meng lang if he needed to ask?
Meng Lang thought for a while and asked, "First defendant, why did you kill a five-year-old girl?"

After hearing this, the first defendant glanced at him and said, "Because she saw us too."

Meng Lang said: "A five-year-old girl has no ability to resist at all, and it was still late at night, why did you brutally kill her?"

As soon as Meng Lang said this, the first defendant fell silent. Although his eyes were still rolling, he lowered his head and did not speak.

"I'm done asking." Meng Lang said.

After meng lang finished asking, it was the turn of the first defendant's lawyer to ask.

The first defendant asked a question: "First defendant, who is older, you or the second defendant Wang Yong?"

"Wang Yong is older, one year older than me," said the first defendant.

As soon as the first defendant finished speaking like this, Zheng Yihong stopped immediately and said to the judge: "Judge, the public prosecutor still has questions to ask the first defendant."

The first defendant's lawyer immediately said dissatisfiedly: "This lawyer has not finished asking, the public prosecutor can't interrupt."

Zheng Yihong said: "The public prosecutor now needs to ask additional questions. After the public prosecutor has finished asking questions, the first defendant's lawyer will ask questions."

The first defendant's lawyer seriously disagreed. The judge saw Zheng Yihong and said, "After he finishes asking questions, you can ask questions again."

In this way, the first defendant's lawyer gave up.

At this moment, the first defendant's lawyer looked at Zheng Yihong, and suddenly said, "This lawyer is done asking questions."

I went, but I didn't expect that the first defendant's lawyer was playing with Zheng Yihong, and only asked such a sentence.

But in Meng Lang's view, this sentence hit the crux of the case, otherwise Zheng Yihong would not have stopped urgently and wanted to ask additional questions.

why?

The second defendant, Wang Yong, had just turned eighteen at the time of the case, and the first defendant said that he was one year younger than Wang Yong, so he might not have been eighteen years old.

There is a huge difference in sentencing between being [-] years old and not being [-] years old. As long as he is a minor at the time of committing the crime, he cannot be sentenced to death. The answer of the first defendant just now is that he was not yet [-] years old when he committed the crime. And this is inconsistent with the facts of the case investigation.

Zheng Yihong naturally felt that the matter was serious, so she stopped and asked to interrogate the first defendant again.

Seeing that the first defendant's lawyer stopped asking, Zheng Yihong asked, "First defendant, how old are you this year?"

The first defendant replied: "I am 27 this year."

Zheng Yihong said: "According to the age on your household registration, you are exactly 28 years old this year, how could you be 27?"

The first defendant said: "The age on my household registration was wrong. At that time, my father gave me a false report of one year old in order to let me get married early."

"Then why didn't you mention this matter in the investigation agency?" Zheng Yihong asked seriously.

The first defendant said: "At that time, the investigative agency did not ask about this matter. He said that the age was calculated based on the household registration, so I was listed based on the household registration. I did not understand the law. It was only after I saw the lawyer that I knew my age was certain. We must seek truth from facts and not go by what is in the household registration book.”

Seeing that the first defendant said this now, it was tantamount to giving the public prosecution a surprise attack, so Zheng Yihong was very angry. He was already eighteen years old when he committed the crime, and now he suddenly said that he was under eighteen years old, which is really cunning!

And all of this, it is very likely that his lawyer taught him to say this, if the age cannot be determined, then there is no way to sentence him to death!

"How do you know your father lied about your age?" Zheng Yihong asked coldly.

"My dad told me later."

"When did your dad tell you?"

"When did you tell me, I forgot, anyway, my dad told me about it."

"Do you have any evidence?"

"The evidence is with my lawyer, you ask him."

Zheng Yihong understood at this time that this trick must have been taught to him by a lawyer, and the lawyer must have evidence that he was under eighteen years old. His lawyer was also conducting an evidence raid!
