Becoming a lawyer starts with raising a Xiezhi

Chapter 485 Not Legal Evidence
Chen Ming argued in every possible way, and the prosecutor had no choice, because the source of the recording was indeed unknown, illegal, and could not be used as evidence in court, which was a very troublesome matter.

"Do you have any conflicts with Ma Jie?" The prosecutor asked other things.

"Yes." Ma Jie admitted.

"What contradiction?"

"I had a financial dispute with him, and I asked him to call someone."

"Does Chen Cong know about this?"

"know."

"Then Chen Cong called you to ask where Ma Jie's address is. Do you know why he asked you about this?"

"do not know."

"Will Chen Cong ask you about this for no reason?"

"I thought he went to Ma Jie to ask for money. Ma Jie owed him money."

"How long has Marger owed him money?"

"It's been several years."

"He asked Ma Jie before if he wanted to come over?"

"To cross."

"Why didn't you go to his house to ask for it before? Why do you suddenly go to his house to ask for money now?"

"Ma Jie didn't give it to him before, so he thought about going to Ma Jie's house to ask for it."

"Did you guess that, or did Chen Cong tell you?"

"My guess."

"Is Chen Cong your biological brother?"

"Yes."

"He is your own younger brother. If you asked Ma Jie's address, wouldn't Chen Cong tell you if you didn't ask him what happened?"

"I don't care much about him, so I didn't ask much."

"In the recording, you obviously asked him, why don't you dare to admit it now?"

"That recording is fake, forged by someone."

"If it's a forgery, will it be so realistic? So much so that you believe it yourself and admit it?"

"I repeat, it was the investigators who induced me to say it, not that I believed the recording."

Seeing that Chen Ming repeatedly denied the matter, the public prosecutor has nothing to ask. Let's decide the case based on the records made by the investigation agency. Of course, this requires the approval of the court.

After the public prosecutor finished questioning, Chen Ming's defense lawyer began to ask questions.

This lawyer from Beijing looks gentle and elegant, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and has a handsome figure. He looks like an intellectual at first glance.

"Defendant Ma Jie, I am your defense lawyer. Now I have a few questions for you. Please answer them truthfully, okay?"

"Okay." Ma Jie replied excitedly.

The defense lawyer asked: "When you made the record at the police station, did the investigators inform the source of the recording?"

"No, they just brought a USB flash drive and played it on the computer for me. They didn't tell me how the USB flash drive came from, and they didn't tell me whether the recording was real or fake. Let me admit it."

"Did the investigators tell you that the evidence presented to the parties should be objective, true and legal evidence?"

"No, they didn't say anything, they just played it to me."

"Did the investigators and the public prosecutor tell you that the recording was legal evidence?"

"No, no one told me that recording was legal."

"Did the investigators tell you that the recording was the real one?"

"No, they said that this is the recording of my call with Chen Cong. I asked them how they could have the recording of my call with Chen Cong. They said it's nothing to do with you. Anyway, we have your recording. You don't admit it. I have to deny it, and if I don’t, I will submit the recording to the court to prove my crime.”

"They said they were going to take the tapes to court, didn't they?"

"Yes, that's what they said at the time."

"Did you know they're now in court?"

"I don't know, but the prosecutor said just now that the USB drive in his hand is a recording."

"The public prosecutor just took the USB flash drive to the court, but the defender did not see the evidence of the recording in the file. Therefore, the defender can tell you that the investigation agency and the public prosecution agency did not regard the recording as evidence to accuse you of a crime."

"Then I don't know, why don't they submit the recording to the court to prove that I committed a crime?"

"You asked this question well, but it also reflects the illegality of this recording evidence from the side. Therefore, the investigators used fraud and inducement to make you make a record, which violated your legal rights. The transcript made by the investigation agency is invalid, and the court cannot use it as the basis for concluding the case, and the statement you made today is the basis for concluding the case."

The defender said these words with confidence, and Chen Ming was very relieved after hearing this.

But the public prosecutor's face is not good, but there is no way, the investigation agency has not done a good job, and the recording evidence cannot be submitted to the court. If it can be submitted to the court, Chen Ming can be directly slapped in the face.

"How is your relationship with your brother Chen Cong?"

"I have a very good relationship with my brother. He used to work outside and took drugs. I used to control him, but he didn't listen. Ma Jie owed him money, but Ma Jie didn't pay him back. Ma Jie still owed him money. I lent it to Ma Jie through me, and he called me to ask where Ma Jie lived, and my first thought was that he might be going to ask Ma Jie for money, but I didn’t expect him to kill Ma Jie.”

"Have you ever thought of getting revenge on Ma Jie?"

"It's impossible to say that I have no ideas, but if I take revenge on Ma Jie, I will break the law. Compared with money, life is more important, and many people know that I have conflicts with Ma Jie. If I kill him, The police must suspect me, why should I do this?"

The defender nodded and said, "If you want to take revenge on Ma Jie, will you instruct your brother to take revenge on him?"

"If I really wanted to take revenge on him, I wouldn't ask my younger brother to take revenge on him. I have plenty of money. I can just find someone in the society to take revenge. Can Ma Jie know who did it? If I asked my younger brother to take revenge He, didn’t I kill my brother? I know that Ma Jie’s family has been suspicious of me, but doubts are suspicions. I won’t be so stupid as to ask my brother to take revenge. It doesn't matter."

What Chen Ming said was logical, and it made sense for the judge to listen to it. That's right, from a common sense analysis, Chen Ming really shouldn't let Chen Cong take revenge on Ma Jie. Even if the revenge was successful, Chen Cong would be harmed.

"Why did you call Chen Cong later?"

"I called Chen Cong later because I wanted him to come to my house and do something for me. I didn't ask him if he found Ma Jie, or if he wanted money, but he told me later that he gave Ma Jie to him. Killed, I was scared in my heart, and hurriedly asked him to surrender. Considering that the Ma family misunderstood me deeply, I hid and didn't dare to show up again. I didn't hide because this matter had something to do with me .”

"You mean you took the initiative to call Chen Cong, and Chen Cong told you that he killed someone, right?"

"Yes."
