Becoming a lawyer starts with raising a Xiezhi

Chapter 439 Suggested Death Penalty
The judge asked Qin Shou: "When is your birthday?"

Qin Shou hurriedly said nervously: "My birthday is September [-]th, not August [-]st."

The judge asked back: "Are you sure your birthday is September [-]th, not August [-]st?"

"I'm sure." Qin Shou's voice was filled with tears. This was his life-saving talisman.

After the judge listened to his words, he looked at Zheng Yihong and said, "Prosecutor, do you want to confirm this with the investigative agency?"

After hearing this, Zheng Yihong thought for a while and said, "I can check this matter with the investigative agency again, but this set of evidence is true and objective, and I hope the collegial panel can accept it."

The judge nodded and said, "Let's check again."

Surface work still needs to be done, otherwise Qin Shou will be dissatisfied if the defender does not agree.Qian Yonghui gave up when he saw that the prosecutor promised to verify it again.

Meng Lang saw it and didn't speak for a while. On the one hand, he felt strange, but on the other hand, he was thinking that the reason for the change in the evidence was the retribution plot for good and evil.
After the presentation of evidence and cross-examination, the trial will enter the stage of court debate.

The public prosecutor first issued a public prosecution opinion. Before the age evidence was cross-examined, Zheng Yihong had already written the public prosecution opinion. Since Qin Shou was under the age of [-] at the time of the case, she suggested to the court that the sentencing should be life imprisonment. The law can give Qin Shou the most severe punishment, and the death penalty is not applicable to juvenile crimes.

But now, seeing a major change in the evidence, although she didn't know what would happen if she went back to the investigation agency for verification, she had to change her mind at this time and asked the court to sentence Qin Shou to death.

"The defendant, Qin Shou, ignored the laws of the country, committed rape and intentional murder, and refused to plead guilty after committing the crime. Sentenced to four years in prison, guilty of intentional homicide, it is recommended that the death penalty be executed immediately..."

As soon as Zheng Yihong's public prosecution opinion was published, Qin Shou's face gradually turned pale, his head began to sweat, and his thin lips trembled with tension.

Especially when he heard the request for the court to sentence him to death immediately, he obviously lost the unruly and arrogance he had when he faced Zheng Yihong and Meng Lang just now.

He lowered his head, and the arrogant arrogance just now disappeared without a trace.

After Zheng Yihong's public prosecution opinion was published, Qian Yonghui began to express his defense opinion.

After hearing Zheng Yihong's public prosecution opinion, he also felt bad, because if Qin Shou was not identified as a minor, Qin Shou might be sentenced to death, because Qin Shou's attitude of pleading guilty was too bad, and the victim's family members Has been asking the court to sentence Qin Shou to death.

Therefore, it was the evidence of age that decided Qin Shou's fate. The prosecutor who dared to issue such an opinion now obviously regarded that evidence as the final evidence.

Qian Yonghui looked at the court and said: "The public prosecution agency charged the defendant with the crime of robbery and rape and intentional homicide, and the defender believes that the defendant did not constitute the crime of robbery and rape, and the evidence to determine that the defendant constituted the crime of robbery and rape is insufficient and cannot be affirmed. First of all, the defendant and the victim were in a relationship of boyfriend and girlfriend, and the sexual relationship between the two parties was voluntary, and there was no issue of coercion. Moreover, according to the autopsy, the victim's breasts and inner thighs had no scars, which ruled out The problem of resistance in the process of robbery is enough to show that the defendant did not commit rape.

However, the public prosecution accused the defendant of intentional homicide. Judging from the existing evidence, although the death of the victim was related to the defendant's behavior, the defendant did not intend to kill the victim. Taking a step back, even if the defendant's behavior Where there is intentional choking, the victim's death is not actively pursued, but the victim's death is allowed. In the case of indirect intention, the defendant's crime is less serious than direct intention.

Just now the public prosecutor suggested that the court sentence the defendant to death and execute it immediately. There is no legal basis. The defendant Qin Shou was under the age of [-] at the time of the case. According to the law, the death penalty is not applicable. The age evidence submitted by the public prosecutor just now clearly exists. Falseness needs to be carefully investigated and verified by the investigative agency. Without investigation and verification, it is wrong for the public prosecutor to issue such a public prosecution opinion.

The defendant was a minor at the time of the case, he did not commit rape, and his homicide was relatively minor. It is suggested that the court should sentence the defendant to 15 years in prison from the perspective of protecting minors..."

Qian Yonghui issued a defense opinion, which was quite different from Zheng Yihong's public prosecution opinion, and it was completely incompatible, especially his last sentence, which asked the court to give Qin Shou a lighter sentence from the perspective of protecting minors, but died Sun Xiaoning is also a minor, how do you say that?Who will protect Sun Xiaoning?
After Qian Yonghui finished speaking, the judge asked the victim's family what their opinions were, and Sun Xiaoning's mother asked Meng Lang to speak on her behalf.

Meng Lang glanced at Qian Yonghui and said, "The victim's family seriously disagrees with the defender's opinion, thinking that the defender's opinion is his subjective assumption, which does not comply with the law at all, and his evidence of exonerating the defendant is too obvious and insufficient. Considering the combined circumstances of the whole case, and losing the legal spirit of being a lawyer, in a popular saying, that is talking nonsense with your eyes open."

As soon as Meng Lang opened his mouth, he buried Qian Yonghui. Qian Yonghui didn't expect him to attack him like this, so he couldn't sit still. He stood up and said to the judge, "The victim's attorney has raped me over and over again, five times and three times. Personal attacks are not dealt with by the court, and I am announcing my withdrawal from the court as a protest."

With that, Qian Yonghui was about to leave. Meng Lang immediately said to him: "You have neither legal spirit nor professional ethics. You announced your withdrawal from the court before the trial was over. Are you right to accuse the defendant?" ?The defendant spent a huge sum of money to hire you as a lawyer, is this how you defend the defendant?"

These words made Qian Yonghui furious again. Qin Shou immediately looked at him. If he left, he would be alone in the court and he would be helpless.

Upon seeing this situation, Qian Yonghui's feet stopped. At this time, the judge said: "Victim's attorney, please just state your representation opinion."

Seeing that the judge opened his mouth, Meng Lang stopped attacking Qian Yonghui. Although he was a colleague, he really looked down on those lawyers who sold their conscience for money. To be a lawyer, one must first learn to be a man. Only a good lawyer can be respected by others.
