Becoming a lawyer starts with raising a Xiezhi

Chapter 391 Lie
Meng Lang came back from the village and made preparations to defend Zheng Haofeng.

The case has entered the stage of the procuratorate. He asked Niu Zhao to go to the procuratorate to copy the file and read it carefully.

He found that the two people who went to Zheng Haofeng's house with Xu Qiang to do things were initially arrested by the police for the crime of intentional injury, but later it turned into the crime of trespassing on the house.

Meng Lang felt strange when he learned about this situation. Xu Qiang and the others had indeed invaded someone else's home, but they had also caused injuries to Zheng Haofeng and Zheng Haibin, his father and son. In this case, it would be more appropriate to convict them of intentional injury.

However, their charges were later changed, which shows that the police believed that the injuries on Zheng Haofeng and Zheng Haibin were not caused by them, but by Xu Qiang. However, since Xu Qiang is dead, they cannot be held criminally responsible.

Therefore, the reason why the case turned into what it is now is mainly because the two people who came with Xu Qiang told lies, which made the facts blurred.

If you want Zheng Haofeng to have a good trial result, you must find a way to get the two people who came with Xu Qiang to testify in court.

Although the two men made statements, their statements were false and did not tell the truth.

After thinking about it, he wrote an application for witnesses to testify in court to the procuratorate, asking the two of them to testify in court, and these two people are now locked up in the detention center, so it is very easy for them to testify in court.

After two weeks, the case went to court.

Xu's family brought more than 20 relatives to attend the audition, and Zheng Haofeng's family also came. When they saw so many people from Xu's family, they didn't dare to come forward, fearing that they would conflict with them.

Fortunately, the Xu family didn't dare to take the initiative to find out about them now, so at most they stared at them with wide eyes, and they sat separately in the auditorium.

Ordinarily, the Xu family didn't take advantage of it, but when Xu Qiang died, whoever died would be the one who made the most of it. This is a reality in Tao Kingdom. Even if this person is full of evil, as long as he dies, he will be justified.

The Tao people's habit of distributing according to the number of people also has a long history.

Meng Lang brought Niu Zhao to the court early. When the Xu family saw them, they also looked sideways at them. When Niu Zhao saw them, they became worried again, but Meng Lang ignored them at all.

Zheng Haofeng was brought over from the detention center, and after getting out of the car, he was taken directly to the court.

Xu's family also hired a lawyer. Xu Zuodong sat in the seat of the victim's family, and the lawyer sat with him.

Meng Lang sat at the defense table, and the judge also came in.

The trial begins.

The clerk first announced the court discipline, because there are many people attending the hearing today, and they are all family members of the victim and the defendant. This kind of conflict between the victim and the defendant can easily lead to conflicts. Therefore, the court should give a warning in advance. , At the same time, additional bailiffs were dispatched to prevent accidents.

After everything was ready, the judge began to check the identities of the parties, introduced the names of the judge and the public prosecutor, and the situation of the lawyers of both parties, and told Zheng Haofeng whether to apply for the recusal of the judge and the public prosecutor. Zheng Haofeng naturally said that he would not apply for recusal.

After this set of procedures was completed, the judge informed the prosecutor that Zheng Haofeng could be interrogated.

The public prosecutor looked up at Zheng Haofeng and asked, "Defendant Zheng Haofeng, is your statement in the investigative agency true?"

"Not true."

"Why isn't it true?" The prosecutor was very upset.

Zheng Haofeng said: "I didn't kill people, they killed them by mistake."

"How did they accidentally kill someone?"

"They came to stab me with knives and accidentally stabbed Xu Qiang. I didn't kill him."

Perhaps out of fear of crime, Zheng Haofeng overturned his previous confession at the investigative agency and attributed Xu Qiang's death to manslaughter. He said this without telling Meng Lang beforehand. After hearing this, Meng Lang's heart sank. I don't think it's good for him to say this, because if he tells a lie, it is easy for the judge to think that he has a bad attitude and is not completely innocent.

But today he wants to defend Zheng Haofeng's innocence, so it's hard to stop him now.

"Zheng Haofeng, you have to answer the prosecutor's questions realistically, otherwise, it will be very detrimental to you."

Zheng Haofeng listened, lowered his head, and said: "They broke into my house and beat me and my son. I was forced."

"You were forced. This is just your motive to kill, but you can't deny that you haven't killed anyone."

When Zheng Haofeng heard the words, he could only admit, "I killed him, but he wanted to kill me at that time, and I couldn't help it."

The public prosecutor heard this and said, "How did you kill him?"

Zheng Haofeng said: "That's right, he took a knife to kill me, I took the knife and killed him."

"Did Xu Qiang hold a knife at that time?"

"Take it."

"What kind of knife is it?"

"It's too dark at night, I can't see clearly, it may be a fruit knife."

"What were you holding in your hand?"

"I'll take a stick."

"But on that fruit knife, there are only your fingerprints, can you explain?"

"I was holding the knife, but it wasn't mine."

"The knife is not yours, why is it in your hand?"

"I took it from Xu Qiang."

"Then why is there no Xu Qiang's fingerprint, only yours?"

"Then I don't know."

"Zheng Haofeng, think about it carefully, is that fruit knife yours?"

"It's really not mine."

"Before Xu Qiang arrived, were you ready to fight Xu Qiang and others?"

"I have conflicts with their family. I reported to their family. He brought people to beat us before, and now he comes to our house again. I must prevent him from beating us again. I didn't think about fighting with him."

"But you said you were already holding a stick and other tools. What was the purpose?"

"We are in case he hits us."

"Xu Qiang and others, who advanced your family?"

"Did they go in together?"

"What did they say when they went in?"

"When they came in, they said they wanted to put us to death, so that we wouldn't sue their family again."

"Do you know the two people who came with Xu Qiang?"

"do not know."

"Did they say anything?"

"No."

"Did they enter your house at that time?"

"Come in."

"Didn't they stand outside and wait?"

"I saw them go in, with Xu Qiang."

"Are you sure they entered your house at that time?"

"It's definitely coming in. It's so dark at night, how dare Xu Qiang himself come into our house?"

"Why didn't Xu Qiang dare to enter your house?"

"Because our two families have conflicts, he is also afraid that we will beat him. Isn't this normal?"

"Does this mean that both of you intend to fight?"
