Becoming a lawyer starts with raising a Xiezhi

Chapter 266 The Shrewd Lawyer

Wang Yong ran the train with his mouth full. Not only did Meng Lang listen to him, he thought he was too shameful, and the observers couldn't stand it anymore.

Zheng Yihong was thinking about how to present evidence in the next step. If the proof was not good, it might not be possible, and this kid Wang Yong really succeeded in retracting his confession.

Meng Lang thought for a while, and felt that it was necessary to use the Eye of Obscurity, so that this kid could tell the truth, but it was still a bit difficult to use the Eye of Truth, because this happened ten years ago, and the Eye of Truth is still still there. Can't see things from ten years ago.

Seeing that he couldn't continue asking, Wang Yong had a smug look on his face. His lawyer told him that he should try to push the responsibility on Li Gang, so that it would be beneficial for him to defend. The final result was against him. As long as the facts are unclear and the evidence is insufficient, the court will not dare to sentence him to death, otherwise he will surely die.

What the lawyer said may not be correct, but Wang Yong believed it, but it was a violation of professional ethics for the lawyer to tell him this.There was a reason why his lawyer guided him in this way, and he didn't know what was going on.

After Meng Lang used his dim eyes, he asked him again, "You said you were telling the truth, so let me ask you, what are you telling the truth?"

Wang Yong suddenly trembled, feeling his head suddenly become groggy, as if the figure of the five-year-old girl appeared in front of his eyes, the little girl screamed miserably, and suddenly fell into a pool of blood.

He screamed, and then suddenly said: "I killed her!"

"Who did you kill?" Meng Lang asked.

"I killed that little girl."

"anything else?"

"There is also that man and that woman. Li Gang asked me to kill them, so I killed them. He also stabbed the man and woman with a knife."

"Didn't you just say you didn't kill him?"

"I just lied. I killed the person, Li Gang and I killed him together. We all deserve to die!"

"Who is older, you or Li Gang?"

"I am older, he is younger than me, but how much younger, I don't know."

"Is your statement in the investigative agency true?"

"It's true, it's true. What I said in the investigative agency is true, and what I said just now is false."

Wang Yong's attitude took a 180-degree turn, and everyone was stunned by what he said directly. What's the situation?Just now I ran the train with my mouth full, why did I suddenly realize that I was telling the truth?
Zheng Yihong was immediately shocked. Wang Yong recanted his confession in court, but it was a very difficult matter. She had already prepared for the worst. However, she did not expect that after Meng Lang asked, Wang Yong actually reversed his confession again and admitted that he was in the investigation again. The agency's confession is true.

what is happening?Was it Wang Yong's conscience that discovered it, or was it due to some other reason?
Meng Lang and Zheng Yihong both breathed a sigh of relief, but Wang Yong's lawyer was dumbfounded. He was doing well just now, why did he suddenly change back?This kid suddenly found out?Or was there some other situation that put pressure on him and made him have to say this?
After meng lang finished asking, the judge asked again, and Wang Yong answered truthfully, admitting to the murder.

After the judge listened, he allowed Wang Yong's lawyer to ask questions.

At this moment, Wang Yong's lawyer felt that he had nothing to ask. After thinking about it, he only asked this question: "The murder was proposed by Li Gang, right?"

"Yes, he asked me to kill people." Wang Yong replied.

After asking this question, his lawyer stopped asking, and then Li Gang's lawyer asked, "Can't you remember how much older you are than Li Gang?"

Wang Yong said: "I can't remember. Although we have always been good friends, I really don't know his age. I usually call him brother, so he is older."

Li Gang's lawyer has been making an issue about his age. Both Zheng Yihong and Meng Lang know his intentions, but the key is to have evidence to prove that Li Gang was a minor at the time, otherwise his words will be of no use.

After the questioning is completed, it enters the stage of presenting evidence and cross-examination.

Zheng Yihong presented evidence on behalf of the public prosecution agency, including documentary evidence, physical evidence, on-site inspection photos, autopsy identification, etc.

When the proof of Li Gang's age was presented, Li Gang's lawyer immediately said: "According to Li Gang's own statement and related evidence, Li Gang's household registration age is inaccurate, and the evidence submitted by the public prosecutor cannot prove that Li Gang was an adult at the time of the case. gone."

When Zheng Yihong heard what he said, she knew in her heart that the situation was going to be bad. Li Gang's lawyer might have relevant evidence to prove that Li Gang was under [-] years old at the time of the crime.

Sure enough, when it was the lawyer's turn to present evidence, Li Gang's lawyer submitted a certificate issued by the village committee to the court.

The certificate issued by the village committee shows that Li Gang did falsify his age back then. The reason is that his father deliberately told lies to the village committee and changed his age to a higher age. The actual age is one year younger than the age on the household registration book.

As soon as this evidence was submitted, Zheng Yihong immediately retorted fiercely: "It is difficult to confirm the authenticity of this certificate from the village committee. Compared with the certificate from the village committee, the age on the household registration book is the real age, which is more meaningful. In terms of probative power, the village committee’s certificate cannot be accepted.”

After hearing this, Li Gang's lawyer argued: "There is something fishy about the age in the household registration book. Since the public prosecution agency cannot confirm that the age in the household registration book is the real age, it needs to submit further evidence to prove the age of the first defendant." He was over [-] years old at the time of the incident, and the village committee’s certificate is enough to make us doubt Li Gang’s true age.”

Lawyer Li Gang's logic is that the burden of proving the defendant's guilt lies with the prosecution. As long as the defense raises reasonable doubts, the prosecution will submit further evidence to prove the authenticity of the matter. This is the advantage for the defense. As the prosecution, It is very difficult to prove the defendant's guilt.

"The first defendant's lawyer did not submit the evidence to the court before the trial, but only now. This obviously does not comply with the rules of evidence. The public prosecutor cannot verify the authenticity of the certificate, and this village committee certificate only covers the evidence. The official seal, without the signature of the certifier, does not meet the formal requirements of the evidence, and it cannot be accepted at all!"

"Whether it can be accepted or not is a matter for the court, not for the public prosecution. We have just obtained this evidence, so if you haven't come yet, please submit it in advance. Please ask the court to take this matter seriously to avoid causing a wrong case." Li Gang's lawyer is not ordinary either. He was a shrewd lawyer. As long as he raised questions, Zheng Yihong, as the prosecutor, would have to collect more evidence to prove that Li Gang was over the age at the time of the crime. Eighteen years old.

After Zheng Yihong heard what he said, although he was full of anger, there was nothing he could do.
