Becoming a lawyer starts with raising a Xiezhi

Chapter 323 I Don't Need a Lawyer

Meng Lang decided to provide defense for Cao Yunlong, and he provided defense for Cao Yunlong not to let Cao Yunlong go unpunished. For this case, six people were killed, and it was robbery and murder. It is impossible for these three murderers to receive a light sentence , and will definitely be sentenced to death.

Why should we provide defense for them when they knew they would be sentenced to death? In fact, they themselves knew they would be sentenced to death and gave up their defense. However, according to the law, they have the right to obtain defense and a defense must be assigned to them. And if they are not assigned a defense lawyer, the trial will be illegal.

The result is the same, but the process can be different. Through defense, they can be more aware of the root cause of their crimes, and realize that the law is fair to them, rather than a kind of homomorphic revenge. Killing people will pay for their lives. The civilization of modern justice.

At the same time, defense can also promote judicial civilization and make the judiciary more just, investigators can handle cases in a civilized manner, procuratorates and courts can be rational and peaceful, and prevent illegal handling of cases.

Of course, some people may not understand enough, thinking that these heinous criminals can just be shot, so what is there to defend?Especially the family members of the victim will be very emotional because of the death of their loved ones. When they see the lawyer defending the murderer, they will target the defense lawyer and misunderstand the defense lawyer.

In fact, this is not necessary, as long as the judiciary is fair, no matter how the lawyer defends, justice must be done in the end, and if there are problems in the case, then through the defense of the lawyer, an unjust case can be avoided. Instead of justice being done for the family, they were being deceived.

After Meng Lang accepted the designated defense, he took Niu Zhao to the detention center to meet with Cao Yunlong.

Detention centers and prisons are generally located far away from urban areas, requiring dozens of kilometers of driving to get there.Meng Lang drove Niu Zhao to the location of the Hanzhou Detention Center. It was already the time of spring, and the wild flowers were blooming everywhere, and the breath of spring was blowing over his face.

After getting out of the car, Niu Zhao said with a smile: "The occurrence of this case is really inconsistent with the season. It is obviously the season of spring, but some people can't see where spring is, and they insist on committing crimes. Do you think it is hateful or not?"

Meng Lang said: "Everything outside is a projection of the heart. If your heart is full of spring sunshine, then even in the cold winter months, the outside will still be full of spring, and if your heart is dark, even at this time, the outside will still be full of spring." It's chilly."

Niu Zhao smiled and said, "You speak so philosophically, I have a feeling of admiration for you."

Meng Lang smiled and said, "Okay, don't flatter me, I'm a very yin and yang person in my heart, once you pat me, I'll be sunny."

"Fuck you, I won't flatter you." Niu Zhao said delicately.

The two walked towards the detention center side by side. After completing the meeting procedures, the two walked into the high wall and came to a meeting room of about ten square meters.

After a while, the guards brought Cao Yunlong inside, and saw him walking over step by step, wearing handcuffs and shackles.

With his head down, his body is very thin, his hair has been shaved, like a huge light bulb.

Looking up at Meng Lang and Niu Zhao, Cao Yunlong then lowered his head. The guarding policeman opened an iron seat inside the iron fence, let Cao Yunlong sit down, and then locked the seat. After everything was ready, The guard police went out.

Only Meng Lang, Niu Zhao and Cao Yunlong were left in the room.

Cao Yunlong raised his head at this time and looked at the two of them blankly, because he didn't know who came to see him, he thought it was someone from the court and procuratorate who came to him and asked him questions.

Meng Lang also looked at him. Cao Yunlong was not old, only 25 or [-] years old. He was fair and clean. He didn't look like a vicious murderer, let alone someone who killed his wife and children. Father-in-law and mother-in-law.

If he is a bad person, how can you tell that he is a bad person on the surface?Are the evil and good aspects of human nature two sides of the same coin?
Meng Lang glanced at him a few times. Cao Yunlong seemed timid, and lowered his head again. Niu Zhao sat beside him and looked at him as well.

They had met murderers several times, but this was the first time they saw such a murderer who looked the least like a murderer.

"Cao Yunlong, do you know who we are?" Meng Lang asked him.

Cao Yunlong raised his head again, shook his head, and said nothing.

Meng Lang said, "We are your defenders appointed by the court. We came here to defend you. Do you understand?"

Cao Yunlong shook his head again, and Meng Lang said: "You are the defendant now. According to the law, the defendant has the right to be defended in accordance with the law. Although you killed someone, if you have something to say but you don't know how to say it, it is inconvenient to say it. You can tell us, and we will help you explain it so that your case can be heard legally and fairly, do you understand what I said?"

Only then did Cao Yunlong speak, timidly: "Are you lawyers?"

Meng Lang said: "That's right, both of us are lawyers. My name is Meng Lang, and her name is Niu Zhao. As long as you agree, we will be your lawyers from now on."

Cao Yunlong suddenly said quickly: "Both Wang Wei and Li Fengke have hired lawyers."

Meng Lang said, "Are they the lawyers I hired?"

Cao Yunlong said: "I don't know, the lawyer came to see them."

Meng Lang said: "We are here to see you as lawyers now. Do you agree with us being your defense lawyer?"

After hearing this, Cao Yunlong lowered his head again, raised his head after a long time and said, "I don't need a lawyer."

Meng Lang asked, "Why don't you need a lawyer?"

Cao Yunlong said: "I killed my father-in-law and mother-in-law's family. I don't want to live anymore. I must be sentenced to death."

Meng Lang said: "You are not a judge, how do you know that you must be sentenced to death?"

Cao Yunlong said: "Killing pays for life, let alone killing so many people now."

Meng Lang said: "It was a saying in the past that a person must be punished with a life for his life. Now, no matter how serious a crime a person commits, he needs to go through a court trial to determine whether he is guilty or not guilty, whether he is sentenced to death or life imprisonment. This is a manifestation of the fairness of modern law. , and I don’t think you are a bad person. You must have your own reasons for committing crimes, right? No one is born willing to commit crimes. Sometimes, a wrong idea of ​​yours may lead to terrible things. Consequences, and these do not prove that you must be guilty of a heinous crime. The role of a lawyer is to let the judge have a comprehensive understanding of you, and then make a fair judgment for you. Even if you are sentenced to death, you can still understand the law. Your punishment is fair and just, can you understand what I say?"
