"Now, let's hear what the defense has to say, please!"

As the camera turned to Bai Xiaowei, countless people on and off the field were sweating and worried for her.

Among these people, there are not only her lover, leader, colleagues, and friends, but also many strangers she has never met.

When people see a delicate and pretty beauty facing off against a particularly strong opponent, their desire to protect her will involuntarily overflow.

Bai Xiaowei didn't waste any words. As soon as the host finished speaking, she spoke.

Without any fancy opening remarks, her speech was simple and to the point:

"Thank you, host. Hello everyone! This traffic accident was caused by Zhou Ming violating his duty of careful driving and running a red light. Therefore, the prosecution's claim that Li Fang caused the traffic accident is actually to make Li Fang responsible for Zhou Ming's negligent behavior. This view is obviously untenable."

"First of all, Zhou Ming was driving with free will and autonomous actions, and it had nothing to do with Li Fang.

From the conversation between the two at the restaurant door, we can know that although Zhou Ming had drunk alcohol, he was very sober. Drunk driving, running red lights, hitting people and a series of other behaviors were Zhou Ming's own choices and independent implementation. Therefore, Zhou Ming should be solely responsible for the traffic accident.

Secondly, Li Fang was only Zhou Ming’s former lover and classmate. She was not a unit supervisor, vehicle owner or contractor. She had no supervisory obligation over Zhou Ming, let alone the ability to control him.

When Li Fang asked Zhou Ming to drive her back to the hotel, she did not instruct Zhou Ming to race against time or speed. Instead, she reminded Zhou Ming to drive slower and more carefully. This would not lead to Zhou Ming violating his duty of care at all.

Finally, according to the principle of personal responsibility, a person can be held responsible for the actions of another person only in the case of joint crime, because joint crime is a deliberate crime, and the prerequisite for its establishment is the transmission and communication of criminal intent.

But the crime of causing a traffic accident is a crime of negligence, which is an unintentional mistake, so how can there be any criminal intent..."

As Bai Xiaowei spoke, those who originally held the same view as Bai Xiaowei smiled, those who were persuaded by Hu Yu began to waver, and those who initially firmly believed that Li Fang had caused the traffic accident began to struggle...

Prosecutor Qi leaned back in his chair calmly, and his facial muscles gradually relaxed.

Gu Wenrui, who was outside the venue, raised his arm and took a sip of red wine, his posture elegant and leisurely.

Gu family.

Gu Wenxing laughed happily: "I knew Xiaowei could do it! She is right, traffic accidents are crimes of negligence. How can there be accomplices in crimes of negligence? It's because I am not skilled enough..."

Gu Wenjin was unconvinced and retorted: "How can a traffic accident be considered a crime of negligence?"

"If it's not negligence, could it be that he hit someone on purpose?" Gu Wenxing retorted, imitating Bai Xiaowei's example.

Gu Wenjin was speechless: "But, but..."

"But you knew you were drunk driving, but you still drove. Wasn't that intentional?" Gu Wenxu asked.

Gu Wenxing tried hard to recall what Bai Xiaowei had taught him, and explained, "Drunk driving is intentional, but then a traffic accident happened, which was beyond the driver's expectations, wasn't it?"

"Xiao Xu, let me ask you, if you were Zhou Ming, could you have foreseen that you would hit someone? Or did you see someone passing by and deliberately stepped on the accelerator to hit them?"

Gu Wenxu: "This..."

Gu Wenzheng thought thoughtfully: "Indeed, if you see someone in front of you and deliberately hit them, it's not a traffic accident, it's intentional homicide!"

Unless it is for revenge or revenge, no one would do this! Every driver on the road does not want to have an accident! "

Gu Wenxing concluded proudly: "Xiaowei is really good. She found the key directly - a negligent crime happened suddenly, no one could have expected it, it was an unintentional mistake, how could there be any transmission or communication of criminal intent?"

There was another round of warm applause as Bai Xiaowei finished her speech.

The male host smiled and said, "Both sides' opening speeches are very exciting. Now, we will move on to the core of this debate - the free debate session. Both sides will take turns to speak, with each person having a total of 4 minutes. Let's wait and see."

"clang--"

As the timer started counting, the free debate began.

Hu Yu: "May I ask what is the objective behavior of the crime of causing a traffic accident?"

Bai Xiaowei: "Violation of traffic regulations came first, and causing personal injury or property damage came later. In this case, was the death and injury caused by Zhou Ming running a red light and hitting someone?"

Hu Yu: "The other debater said it very well. So did Li Fang commit any illegal acts?"

Bai Xiaowei: "Whether Li Fang has committed any illegal acts depends on whether Li Fang should be held responsible for Zhou Ming's actions. Excuse me, do Li Fang and Zhou Ming constitute a joint crime?"

Hu Yu: "The crime of causing a traffic accident is a typical crime of negligence, so we believe that the two did not commit a joint crime, and Li Fang should be convicted of the crime of causing a traffic accident alone! I would like to ask the other debater whether Li Fang's behavior violated the relevant provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law?"

Bai Xiaowei: "How can Li Fang be guilty of causing a traffic accident if she didn't hold the steering wheel or step on the accelerator?"

Hu Yu: "Excuse me, who asked Zhou Ming to drink? Who asked Zhou Ming to drive after drinking?"

Bai Xiaowei: "Did Zhou Ming drink and drive by himself? If Zhou Ming hadn't been there, would there have been one death and one injury?"

Hu Yu: "The other debater is simply saying that Zhou Ming was the executor. According to your logic, Li Fang was the instigator. Without Li Fang's instigation, how could there be one death and one injury later?"

Bai Xiaowei: "To correct your wrong view, we have never said that Li Fang was the instigator. Instead, you think that Li Fang instigated Zhou Ming. Please explain what instigation means?"

Hu Yu: "Instigation has a very broad meaning. In this case, it means instigation and provocation!"

Bai Xiaowei: "According to the general provisions of the Criminal Law, instigating others to commit a crime is a typical intentional crime! Today you told us that traffic accidents are negligent crimes. Li Fang caused a traffic accident, so she is naturally a negligent crime. You also said that Li Fang is an instigator. You are contradicting yourself!"

Hu Yu: "...We have never said that Li Fang instigated Zhou Ming to commit a crime, but that Li Fang alone committed the crime of causing a traffic accident. May I ask the opposing debater, Li Fang knew that Zhou Ming had been drinking. As an adult, could she not have anticipated the harmful consequences of driving under the influence?"

Bai Xiaowei: "Li Fang could foresee the harmful consequences, but Zhou Ming, as an adult, couldn't foresee it himself? Or was it that only Li Fang could foresee the consequences? I would like to ask, did Zhou Ming choose to drive under the influence of alcohol while he was free of consciousness?"

Hu Yu: "Of course, the person being instigated generally has a certain degree of choice. If he does not have even a little choice, then he is being coerced into committing a crime.

It's like I point a gun at you and force you to kill someone. If you don't kill me, I'll kill you. You don't have the right to choose, so it doesn't constitute intentional homicide. But Zhou Ming has the right to choose, but it doesn't affect Li Fang's crime. Do you agree, my opponent?"

Bai Xiaowei: "Of course not! As you said, Zhou Ming has the right to choose. The steering wheel and car keys are in his hands. If he insists on not driving, what can Li Fang do to him?

It's nothing more than losing the chance to spend a good night with his ex-girlfriend. Which one is more costly, this or taking the risk of drunk driving? I still want to ask the other debater to give me a clear answer: which behavior of Li Fang is responsible for the result of one death and one injury? "
