Becoming a lawyer starts with raising a Xiezhi

Chapter 267
Meng Lang saw this and knew that this matter was a bit troublesome. According to the division of the burden of proof, the prosecution did have to bear the burden of proving that Li Gang was an adult at the time of the crime. As long as the defense raised reasonable doubt, they would succeed.

Now, unless Li Gang's birth certificate can be found to prove Li Gang's true age, it is impossible to confirm his true age solely by relying on other evidence.

Of course, if the prosecution can prove that the certificate issued by the village committee is false, then this evidence will be useless, but it is not easy to prove that the certificate issued by the village committee is false. Take it out, it shows that they are very confident in themselves.

After thinking about it, Meng Lang felt that the only way to make Li Gang tell the truth was to use his hazy eyes again. As long as Li Gang himself admitted that his actual age was eighteen at the time of the crime, the probative power of the evidence submitted by the lawyer would be much weaker, and As long as Li Gang told the truth, it would be a slap in the face to his lawyer, and his lawyer would no longer be able to hold on to this issue.

He immediately opened his eyes and looked at Li Gang. Li Gang and Wang Yong were standing together, both of them staring at their lawyer.

After Wang Yong let him look at it with dim eyes just now, he is still in the state of telling the truth, looking at his lawyer stupidly.

Li Gang, on the other hand, has a pair of small eyes that turn around, looking around from time to time, wondering what is going on in his heart.

Suddenly, he also felt a blur in front of his eyes, his head seemed to become dull, and he looked around blankly, as if he was a different person.

Seeing what he had become, Meng Lang raised his hand and said, "The lawyer for the victim's family would like to ask the first defendant about this issue."

When he said this suddenly, Li Gang's lawyer was taken aback. He was cross-examining with Zheng Yihong. What did the lawyer of the victim's family get involved with?Is there any evidence he can't submit?At this point the interrogation is over, why ask Li Gang again?
The judge listened, glanced at him, and asked, "Do you have any questions to ask?"

Meng Lang said: "I would like to ask the first defendant again about age."

Seeing that there was a dispute on the issue of age, the judge also wanted to find out the truth, so he agreed to Meng Lang's request.

Meng Lang began to ask: "First defendant, what was your true age at the time of the crime?"

Li Gang looked at him and felt his head was foggy, but he could clearly hear the question Meng Lang asked and knew clearly what the answer was.

He just wanted to say: "I was already eighteen years old when I committed the crime, and I am only one month younger than Wang Yong."

"Then why did you say you were a year younger than Wang Yong?"

"The lawyer asked me to say that!"

As soon as Li Gang said this, the entire court was in an uproar, and his lawyer was about to be petrified in an instant. To him, this was undoubtedly a nuclear bomb!
"What nonsense are you talking about!" His lawyer couldn't help saying loudly.

"Quiet!" the judge immediately stopped.

After listening to the judge's words, Li Gang's lawyer could not say anything more, but he obviously couldn't sit still, his face turned purple, and he was sweating, because he knew that these words were very lethal to him. how big.If what Li Gang said is true, he will violate the criminal law and instruct the defendant to give perjury. The crime is very serious!

When Meng Lang saw this scene, he sneered in his heart. Some lawyers just didn't abide by the rules and professional ethics. They secretly helped their clients escape guilt and made some shady black money. This was undoubtedly stepping on a tightrope, and they would make mistakes if they were not careful.

Li Gang's lawyer did not expect that Li Gang would tell the truth today. This is something that is impossible to happen under normal circumstances. The lawyer asked him to do this for his benefit. How could he tell it?

"First defendant, are you talking nonsense? You have to know that your lawyer is right next to him. If you say that, he will be upset. You must answer me truthfully. Do you understand?" Meng Lang glanced at Li Gang , asked on purpose.

"I told the truth, what he asked me to tell. When he met with me, he told me that he wanted me to deliberately tell my age by one year younger, so that he could look for evidence outside. In this way, I could save my life, otherwise I will definitely be sentenced to death, he taught me this, I don’t understand it myself.”

Finished!

As soon as Li Gang finished speaking these words, his lawyer felt that it was over and his career was about to be completely over.He suddenly became sweating profusely as he sat there. Wang Yong's lawyer next to him also looked very nervous and his face was a little pale. They were all lawyers from Jidian City, and they knew exactly what was going on here.

Why Wang Yong retracted his confession today has a lot to do with him.

"Do you mean to say that your lawyer ordered you to lie in court?" Meng Lang continued to say calmly.

"I protest!" Li Gang's lawyer suddenly shouted. He stood up suddenly, his eyes as big as a bull's eye, and looked at Meng Lang in a scary way.

"The protest is invalid!" The judge immediately dismissed him.

"What he said are all lies. I did not instruct him to commit perjury at all. He has mental problems. I demand an appraisal of his mental condition!" Li Gang's lawyer became hysterical.

There was a commotion in the court. Today's court session was so dramatic.

At this moment, Zheng Yihong said suddenly: "In view of the fact that the defender in this case is suspected of ordering others to give false testimony, I request the court to adjourn the court and notify the investigating agency to intervene. After the investigation of the issue is clear, the court will be reopened."

Zheng Yihong, as the public prosecution agency, not only has the responsibility to accuse crimes, but also has the power to supervise the court trial. She found that Li Gang's defender had major problems, and the trial obviously could not go on. If the defender did violate the law, the investigative agency will If it is dealt with, Li Gang's real age will be clarified by then.

After hearing Zheng Yihong's words, the judge immediately nodded and said, "Temporary adjournment, take the defendant out of the courtroom!"

As soon as they heard the judge's words, the bailiff immediately came up and took Li Gang and Wang Yong down. Their lawyers saw them and were about to leave, but the judge stopped them and said, "Don't leave yet. Stay here and wait for the investigation agency to send someone over for verification before you leave."

Li Gang's lawyer quickly said: "Li Gang is talking nonsense. Now that the trial has been adjourned, we can go back. We will be notified when the trial will be held."

The two of them still wanted to leave immediately. The judge immediately asked the bailiff to detain them and not allow them to leave. The two of them were really dumbfounded when they saw it, and there was nothing they could do.

Seeing the two of them at a loss, Meng Lang secretly smiled, regardless of what Wang Yong's lawyer looked like, Li Gang's lawyer must be going to jail!
