Becoming a lawyer starts with raising a Xiezhi

Chapter 8 Winning the Case
The defendant's lawyer actually refused to cross-examine!
Meng Lang immediately said: "This piece of evidence is the evidence that the plaintiff applied to the court to obtain. Although the evidence was not submitted within the time limit for producing evidence, it did not violate the regulations. This is new evidence discovered by the plaintiff. If the defendant does not cross-examine it, it will be This evidence is accepted."

When the defendant's lawyer heard this, he was dumbfounded. The judge looked at him and said, "Please give your opinion to the defendant's lawyer. Don't give up the right to cross-examine."

The defendant's lawyer looked at it and said, "This evidence doesn't prove anything. It's just the bank statement of Hanzhou Bank. What can it explain? The defendant has more than one bank account in Hanzhou Bank."

Wang Bada heard this, and interjected, "I still have an account at Datao Bank."

Hearing their excuses, Meng Lang snorted and said, "Report to the presiding judge that the plaintiff has a third set of evidence to provide."

As soon as the words were finished, the defendant's lawyer was very surprised. The second set of evidence was in his expectation. It is quite normal to adjust the bank statement. Why is there a third set of evidence?
"President, the plaintiff is conducting a surprise attack and does not submit evidence within the time limit for presenting evidence. We object!"

After hearing this, Meng Lang said unhurriedly, "This is a set of recorded evidence. We will provide it in court. If the defendant is unwilling to cross-examine, we will not object!"

After that, a set of recording evidence was submitted, and the judge agreed to play the recording.

After the broadcast, Meng Lang said: "This set of evidence proves that the defendant admitted that he took the money from the Hanzhou Bank, and there is no withdrawal record of 8000 yuan in the history of the Hanzhou Bank. Proving that the defendant was lying, the plaintiff's claim stands."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Bada couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up and pointed at him and cursed, "Lawyer dog, you're bullying me!"

Meng Lang glanced at him and said to the judge, "Judge, the defendant insulted others in court and contempt of the court, please admonish him from the court!"

The defendant's lawyer hurriedly pulled the defendant to sit down, and said: "The plaintiff obtained the evidence by secretly recording, and the source of the evidence is illegal. The court cannot accept this evidence."

Meng Lang said: "This evidence is real and effective. I did not secretly record it. I just have the awareness of evidence collection. The defendant cannot deny the authenticity of this evidence!"

The defendant was sitting on the seat, staring at him with both eyes. How could he have imagined that Meng Lang had a phone call with him and would record the content of the call, and now it was submitted to the court, making him and the lawyer extremely passive!

By this point in the trial, the truth has been revealed. The defendant has loopholes everywhere and cannot justify himself, and his defense cannot be established!

The judge also had an idea in mind, and after meng lang submitted the evidence, he asked the defendant if there was any evidence to provide?
The defendant's lawyer said weakly: "No."

Litigation is evidence, what kind of lawsuit is there without evidence?Of course, he is the defendant, and under normal circumstances there is no need to submit evidence. According to the principle of who advocates, the evidence is mainly provided by the plaintiff, and the defendant only needs to refute it.

"The court investigation is over, and now we are entering the court debate stage." The judge announced.

Meng Lang began to read out the attorney's statement. There were mainly two points of view. One point was that the defendant's statement was unreasonable, and the other point was that the defendant lied in court. Three sets of evidence proved that the defendant returned the plaintiff's 8000 yuan in defense. The statement cannot be established.

After he finished speaking, the defendant's lawyer also made a speech, and still argued that he had paid back 8000 yuan and owed the plaintiff 2000 yuan.

It's still the same old cliché, as the defendant, it only needs to muddy the water, and it is determined that the plaintiff's evidence cannot 8000% prove that it still owes [-] yuan.

But in civil litigation, unlike criminal cases, the evidence does not need to be [-]%, as long as there is a high degree of probability, and today's trial showed that the high degree of probability is on the side of the plaintiff.

After the court debate ended, the judge asked both parties whether they would mediate?
Meng lang told the judge that there was nothing to mediate, as long as the defendant was willing to pay back the money.

Ask the defendant Wang Bada again. His lawyer discussed with him and said, "We do not agree to mediation. If the plaintiff is willing, we can immediately return the 2000 yuan owed."

The defendant will never die until he reaches the Yellow River, and he will not shed tears when he sees the coffin.

After hearing this, the judge announced: "Adjourn the court for 15 minutes and wait for the verdict!"

As soon as the judge's voice fell, the plaintiff and the defendant were very surprised, because under normal circumstances, the court would not pronounce the sentence in court.

Meng Lang was still a little uneasy in his heart, not knowing what the court's final judgment would be. Although he had confidence in himself and felt that he had a chance to win, no one dared to say that he would definitely win until the last moment!
After 15 long minutes passed, the judge returned to the courtroom, looked at both the plaintiff and the defendant, and said, "Now the verdict begins, all stand up."

"...This court believes that the defendant Wang Bada borrowed 3 yuan from the plaintiff Zhu Shanyang, and then returned 8000 yuan, and the remaining 8000 yuan was confirmed on the IOU kept by the plaintiff. The plaintiff's claim is tenable. The defendant’s argument that he has returned 8000 yuan to the plaintiff does not conform to daily life experience, does not conform to the facts, and cannot be established. This court does not accept it. According to the judgment of... Zhu Shanyang [-] yuan. If you disagree with this judgment, you can appeal to Hanzhou City Intermediate Court within [-] days, and the judgment is over!"

The judge ruled in court that the plaintiff won the case!
Wang Bada and his lawyer were dumbfounded.

Zhu Shanyang couldn't help saying happily: "Win!"

After the judge pronounced the verdict, he asked, "Both the plaintiff and the defendant, have you filed an appeal?"

Meng Lang hurriedly said, "Report to the presiding judge, the plaintiff will not appeal!"

The judge asked the defendant again.

The defendant's lawyer discussed with Wang Bada before saying, "Let's go back and think about it."

Judging by their looks, they have already given up on thinking about it.

Meng Lang walked out of the courtroom with Zhu Shanyang.

When he arrived at the door of the court, Zhu Shanyang said happily: "Thank you, Lawyer Meng, for making me angry like this. I want to thank you and treat you to a meal."

Meng Lang hurriedly laughed and said, "No, after [-] days, if the other party doesn't appeal and the judgment becomes effective, you can get the money. If the other party refuses to execute it, you can apply to the court for enforcement!"

Zhu Shanyang nodded hurriedly.At this moment, Wang Bada rushed over suddenly, swung his fist and hit Meng Lang, cursing as he hit, "Lawyer dog, how dare you bully me!"

When Meng Lang turned around, he found that Wang Bada was actually calling him. He was startled at first, then he clenched his fists to fight him, and said coldly, "Bastard, what do you want?"
