Becoming a lawyer starts with raising a Xiezhi

Chapter 309 Reconciliation is a Strategy

Meng Lang's loud words resounded throughout the court. Although Wang Tianlin's lawyer Zhuang Weixian blindly denied the relevant facts, everyone had already formed an impression that Hu Yue's derailment was an incident conspired by Wang Tianlin and the planning company.

Now it depends on how the court looks at this issue. If the court finds that the evidence submitted by the private prosecutor is sufficient to prove that Wang Tianlin and Lin Ming are involved in defamation, then Wang Tianlin and Lin Ming will be sentenced to prison.

After the trial was here, it entered the stage of court debate.

Meng Lang issued a proxy statement on behalf of Hu Yue, accusing Wang Tianlin and Lin Ming of defamation.This incident is by no means a public criticism of Hu Yue, but a premeditated defamation incident.

After he delivered his attorney's statement, Zhuang Weixian defended Hu Yue from the perspective of public criticism of Hu Yue and the fact that Wang Tianlin had no connection with the incident.

Lin Ming's lawyer also echoed Zhuang Weixian's defense from these two perspectives, and the two of them are now one.

After the court debate, Wang Tianlin and Lin Ming made their final statement. Wang Tianlin's attitude was still very firm, while Lin Ming's final statement was apparently innocent, but his tone was not so firm. He was considering the way forward.

After the final arguments, the judge asked the parties if they wanted to mediate.Criminal private prosecution cases can be mediated, but public prosecution cases cannot.

As long as the two parties reach a criminal settlement, the private prosecutor can withdraw the prosecution, and the defendant will not be jailed.

Now when the judge asked about the matter, Meng Lang said on behalf of Hu Yue: "Because of the extremely bad attitude of the first defendant, we decided not to settle with the first defendant, but we can settle with the second defendant."

As soon as Meng Lang said this, Lin Ming immediately turned his head to talk to the lawyer, discussing the issue, while Wang Tianlin's face was ugly, and Hu Yue was targeting him specifically.

The judge asked Wang Tianlin if he agreed to a settlement?Zhuang Weixian replied: "We do not agree to the settlement, the private prosecutor's lawsuit has no basis."

Meng Lang even said that he would not reconcile with Wang Tianlin. How could Wang Tianlin agree to reconcile? When Zhuang Weixian said this, it made people feel that he lacked confidence.

The judge asked Lin Ming again, and Lin Ming's lawyer hurriedly said, "I'll discuss it with my client."

Hearing this, Zhuang Weixian and Wang Tianlin's expressions became unnatural. Lin Ming was on the same front as them. If they agreed to reconcile with Hu Yue at this time, it would be more troublesome.

But this was in court, and they couldn't stop the two from making a choice, so Lin Ming and his lawyer walked aside to discuss quietly.

His lawyer didn't seem to agree with the reconciliation, but Lin Ming couldn't hold his breath anymore. If the court ruled and he went to jail, he would be finished. If the reconciliation can be made now and Hu Yue withdraws the prosecution against him, the matter will be over. It's over.

But the result of this is that he seems to have betrayed Wang Tianlin, can he still be in the entertainment industry in the future?However, Lin Ming thought about it for a long time and felt that after this lawsuit, Wang Tianlin's future stardom would be bleak. Instead of sinking to the bottom with a star who is about to pass away, it is better to get out as soon as possible and turn around.

Lin Ming discussed with his lawyer, and he himself had a fierce ideological struggle. After he turned around and came back, the two of them looked at Wang Tianlin and Zhuang Weixian together. They felt uncomfortable when they saw their eyes.

Sure enough, Lin Ming's lawyer said on behalf of Lin Ming: "Report to the presiding judge, my client agrees to a criminal settlement."

As soon as these words came out, both Wang Tianlin and Zhuang Weixian's faces turned pale, and the people listening to them immediately started talking, which indicated that the case was about to take a dramatic turn.

As soon as Meng Lang heard what lawyer Lin Ming said, he laughed in his heart. Lin Ming was about to surrender. As long as Lin Ming surrendered, Wang Tianlin would be cornered. Let's see what he will do!
Seeing that the two of them were willing to reconcile, the judge asked what the terms of the reconciliation were?
Meng Lang said on behalf of Hu Yue: "As long as the second defendant admits the fact of violating Ms. Hu Yue's reputation and apologizes in the newspaper, Ms. Hu Yue can withdraw the prosecution against him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Weixian raised his hand to object: "The statement made by the private prosecutor's lawyer is extremely unfair to my client. Criminal cases should be based on facts and the law should be the criterion. Now the private prosecutor wants to withdraw It is obviously not in line with the legal principle of seeking truth from facts, and it is extremely unfair to my client, Mr. Wang Tianlin, and I ask the court not to allow the two to reconcile!"

Seeing that Wang Tianlin was about to fall into an extremely unfavorable situation, Zhuang Weixian had to stop the reconciliation between Hu Yue and Lin Ming, otherwise, everything would be over.

Meng Lang heard the words, and immediately said: "We did not violate the principle of seeking truth from facts. On the contrary, the first defendant has violated the principle of seeking truth from facts and did not tell the truth. The second defendant can make the choice that is most beneficial to him. As for the first Whether the defendant will be involved in a crime or not depends on the evidence of the whole case. It is not based on what someone says to determine who is guilty. I don’t know what the first defendant should be nervous about? As long as he has not done anything wrong, what is there to be afraid of?"

"It is unbelievable that the second defendant would say something against his will out of fear of punishment," Zhuang Weixian argued again.

Meng Lang said: "As long as there is no crime, why are you afraid of criminal punishment? If the existing evidence is insufficient, why worry about the case against him? What is speaking against one's will? I believe everyone has their own opinions. We just need the second defendant to be able to Tell the truth as it is!"

After the two sides debated for a long time, the judge asked Lin Ming if he would agree to the terms of settlement proposed by Meng Lang. Lin Ming discussed with his lawyer again and agreed.

This is completely troublesome, Wang Tianlin couldn't sit still and said: "The two of them reconcile, I don't reconcile, it's not fair!"

The judge immediately asked him: "Didn't you just disagree with the settlement?"

Wang Tianlin argued: "I don't agree with the reconciliation, but the two of them reconciled. This is deliberately cheating me."

The judge said: "Reconciliation is your right. Since you choose not to reconcile, don't prevent others from reconciling."

"Presiding judge, their reconciliation is a strategy, and it is extremely unfair to my client. Unless the testimony of the second defendant is excluded when finalizing the case, we will oppose the reconciliation!"

"You have no right to object to the reconciliation. Reconciliation is our right. The second defendant is willing to tell the truth. There is no reason to exclude his testimony. Your request has no legal basis." After listening to Zhuang Weixian's words, Meng Lang resigned He retorted sternly.

"The private prosecutor is allowed to settle with the second defendant, and the objection is invalid." The judge said with a hammer.
