Text Chapter 780 [Reasonable Statement]

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There is a special restaurant in the Xiangjiang High Court, which is divided into a judge's restaurant and a catering restaurant, which is mainly used to solve the dining problem during the noon recess.  However, there is no "Shibu" here, and the food is no cheaper than outside tea restaurants, and there are fewer choices, such as set milk teas and the like. Don't expect to have a big meal here.

    Although Zhou Yi and Yang Cai are both gourmets, they can also follow the local customs. They made a set meal each and ate it with relish. Liu Xu and Yang Cai discussed the court defense just now while eating, and peeked at Zhou Yi from time to time.  Zhou Yi felt really proud when he saw his wife's face full of happiness and 'buddy' Yang Cai's face full of appreciation.

    "Yang Dazhuang, can you introduce it to me?"

    A young man wearing a black suit, with bleached silver hair and a very young face came forward. He was looking at Yang Cai with a smile. When he saw Zhou Yi looking at him, he nodded politely, with an elegant and personable demeanor.  He is a very well-educated person who is easy to like.

    "It's him?"

    Zhou Yi had just seen this silver-haired young man surrounded by several barristers, judges and prosecutors. He was talking in high spirits. These people with high status in the legal circle beside him were actually laughing and listening to him.  , I was a little curious, but I didn't ask, but I didn't expect that this person actually knew Yang Cai and took the initiative to say hello to them.

    "Pang Ban?" Yang Cai frowned slightly, responded politely with cooking skills, and then stopped, obviously not wanting to have anything to do with this person.

    "Zhou Dazhuang, I am Pang Ban. Your defense just now was wonderful and breathtaking, wasn't it?" The silver-haired young man chuckled and stretched out his hand with such enthusiasm that people could not refuse.

    "You're welcome." The other person flatters you when he comes up, which makes it hard to refuse.  Zhou Yi smiled and shook hands with him. He had nothing to say for a moment, and there was still food in his mouth. This person came at the wrong time.

    "Haha. I have heard of Jay Chou for a long time. To be honest with Jay Chou, I am a lawyer and a doctor. We have a lot in common. Let's get to know each other. I hope we can become friends with Jay Chou if we have the opportunity.  . By the way, it seems like we should take a stand? I also support Qin Shuimei. I hope that Jay Chou can help him get rid of the murder charge."

    Pang Ban was very discerning and saw that Zhou Yi didn't want to say anything more. He smiled and said a few polite words, turned around and left.  Seeing him leaving, Yang Cai suddenly showed an expression of relief.  Liu Xu smiled and poked her: "Is this the suitor you mentioned?"

    "How can there be" Yang Caijiao became angry, and the two beauties burst into laughter.  Through your words, Zhou Yi got a preliminary understanding of this Pang Ban. I have to say that he is really a genius. He is a legend in the legal and medical circles in Xiangjiang. If there is anything wrong with him, it is that he is too romantic.  .  He likes to show mercy everywhere, and Yang Cai's law firm can often receive flowers from him.

    What makes Zhou Yi somewhat admired is that when Pang Ban was three years old, he lost his hearing due to meningitis. To communicate with people at close range, he had to rely on hearing aids, and at long distances, he had to rely on looking at the mouth shape to analyze what the other person said.  But he still relied on his own efforts.  He became a barrister and was the only barrister in the Hong Kong court who relied on lip-syncing to work. For this reason, he was awarded the title of one of the top ten outstanding youths in Hong Kong.  Perhaps because of his physical disability, he had more time to focus on his studies. While making outstanding achievements in law, he also became the first surgeon at Huade Hospital in Xiangjiang. He once completed a high-end surgery for the chief executive's wife.  Difficult surgery.  Therefore, whether in the legal circle or the medical community, it has a very high reputation

    Zhou Yi also secretly admired that he relied on the system as a cheating device, but others were disabled physically and mentally.  I am ashamed to have achieved such a brilliant achievement through my own hard work and talent.

    ***

    When the trial opened in the afternoon, the third witness called by the prosecution was the drug addict.  Huang Li, thirty-one years old, has been a "beauty" for eight years. She is a character with jade arms that can be used by thousands of people, and a bit of red lips that can be tasted by thousands of people.  She sat down on the witness stand, her eyes darting around, and the jurors immediately frowned. Even if such a person took an oath, few would believe what she said.

    Under the guidance of Sun Yuqing, Huang Li very clearly stated a 'fact' - although she had taken drugs at the time, she was still conscious. She also 'clearly' saw Qin Shuimei fighting with the deceased Huang Guangming, and it was Qin Shuimei.  Pushed Huang Guangming downstairs.  Judging from the superficial evidence, her testimony was clearer and more powerful than Lin Hui's. If she had been a barrister or judge and had not taken drugs at the time, this testimony would have been enough to prove Qin Shuimei's death!

    Zhou Yi stood up slowly and said: "Miss Huang, you must have many benefactors, or in other words, there are many rich people among your benefactors, right?"

    "I object!"

    Sun Yuqing stood up suddenly: "The questions raised by the defense lawyer have nothing to do with this case and are insulting to my client.!  "

    "Your Honor, Hong Kong law recognizes the legality of 'sex workers'. I was just asking this witness about her work, and I even meant to praise her; and I can guarantee that the questions I raised are absolutely relevant to this case.  Related!" Zhou Yi said.

    "invalid objection."

    The presiding judge thought for a while and said: "Witnesses must answer. Defense lawyer, please enter the topic as soon as possible and pay attention to how you ask questions."

    "Yes, your honor," Zhou Yi smiled at Huang Li and said, "Miss Huang, am I right?"

    "Yes, I am beautiful and enthusiastic. Of course I have many guests."

    Huang Li was quite happy after hearing this. This was a great affirmation for her.  What scares people most about doing a job like hers?  What she fears most is that someone will say that if she has no guests, she will not be able to hang out.

    "That's right, otherwise how could you afford such high-end drugs?"

    Zhou Yi smiled and took a stack of evidence materials from Ma Ming: "Your honor, this is the test result of the police. Among the drug components tested in Huang Li's body, heroin, a highly toxic drug, accounts for 4%.  A ratio of sixteen. In other words, what she was taking at that time was not an ordinary 'soft' drug, but a mixed drug that was very toxic and had a great impact on people!"

    "Ms. Huang, please recall, how much of this drug did you take at that time?" Zhou Yi asked Huang Lidao again after submitting the evidence to the court.

    "A pack is about 10 grams. I smoked most of the pack," Huang Li said.

    "In other words, you took about seven to eight grams of this drug, right?"

    "almost."

    "Your Honor, since the defense must make an accurate judgment on the witness's condition at that time, I request to summon our expert witness first. After questioning the expert witness, we will continue to cross-examine Ms. Huang."

    "Well, the court accepts the defense lawyer's request, and the defense can call expert witnesses first."

    The expert witness Zhou Yi found was named Guo Guohua. He was in his fifties and used to be a forensics officer in the drug investigation department of the police. After resigning from the police.  Currently working at a British-funded chemical research institute in Hong Kong, he is an absolute authority in drug identification.

    After listening to Han Guohua¡¯s self-report and checking his resume, the presiding judge and the jurors nodded slightly. Such qualifications are enough to qualify him as an expert witness.

    "Mr. Han, based on your research on drugs in the past thirty years. Can you tell me how toxic the drugs taken by the prosecution witness Miss Huang Li are? What kind of mixed drugs is it?" Zhou Yi began to guide the witness.

    "Haha, there are no types of mixed drugs. Currently, the United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs divides drugs into six categories, namely: morphine-type drugs, including the most dangerous drugs such as opium, morphine, cocaine, heroin and poppy plants; cocaine  and coca leaves; marijuana; amphetamines and other synthetic stimulants; sedatives, including barbiturates and methaqualone; psychotropic drugs, namely tranquillizers"

    South Korea Huadao: "Among them, they are the most addictive. The ones that have the greatest impact on the human body are morphine-type drugs, and heroin is the most dangerous one. I have read Ms. Huang's appraisal report and found that among the drugs she took  , the heroin content is as high as 46%, and the remaining ingredients are also morphine-type drugs."

    "According to Ms. Huang, she took seven or eight grams of this drug at the time. I would like to judge based on your experience. How will she be affected?"

    "First of all, it is a strong stimulation. The central nervous system of the brain is affected by drugs and produces hallucinations. The drug users will have visual and auditory hallucinations due to the effects of the drugs, and will get great enjoyment from it; and it does not rule out that the drug users will have hallucinations due to the influence of the drugs.  Under the influence of environmental triggers, aggressive behavior occurs!" Han Guohua said with certainty.

    "That is to say, Miss Huang would have hallucinations and behave aggressively at that time?" Zhou Yi asked.

    Han Guohua shook his head and said: "That's not true. After Ms. Huang took a large amount of mixed drugs, she will definitely have hallucinations, but whether she will have aggressive behavior depends on the environmental triggers at the time. It cannot be generalized."

    "Mr. Han, can you explain the impact of environmental triggers on drug addicts?"

    "Can."

    Han Guohua sorted out his thoughts slightly: "If a drug addict closes himself in a quiet space, he will generally only have various hallucinations caused by drugs, but will not have the illusion of being attacked, and then attack others. But  If there are enough stimulating sounds and images around a drug addict, then this environmental trigger is likely to make the drug addict aggressive. In reality, there are also examples of drug addicts attacking others after taking drugs, causing serious injuries and deaths."

      "So if someone like Ms. Huang finds someone arguing or even fighting around her after taking drugs, will this trigger her to attack others?"

    The real murderer in this case is actually the unknown female killer, and it has nothing to do with Qin Shuimei and Huang Li.  However, if Zhou Yi proposed that there was a fourth person in this case, it would not only be difficult to gain the approval of the jury, but also alarm the snake. Therefore, he adopted the expedient method of attacking Huang Li instead.  He was sure to use Huang Li to get Qin Shuimei off the hook, and at the same time he would not really unjustly accuse Huang Li. Otherwise, rescuing one but unjustly killing the other would not be in line with Zhou Yi's principles of life.

    "Absolutely! Under the circumstances at that time, the possibility of Ms. Huang committing aggressive behavior was as high as 70%."

    "Thank you, I have no other questions."

    After Zhou Yi finished asking questions, Sun Yuqing only asked one question: "Mr. Han, you just said that Miss Huang may have acted aggressively under the circumstances at that time. It is more than 70% possible. That means there is still a 30% chance that it was her."  You won't be aggressive and behave aggressively, right?" South Korea Hua responded in the affirmative.

    In fact, Sun Yuqing is just going through the motions. In Xiangjiang, "the benefit of the doubt belongs to the defendant", not to mention that only 30% of the doubts that are beneficial to him account for?

    "Ms. Huang, I have a case file obtained from the Mong Kok Branch here, which proves that at about 10 pm on March 10, 2011, you had an aggressive behavior due to confusion after taking drugs, and scratched your head and neck with a fruit knife.  A sister you rented together, right?" Zhou Yi shook the materials in his hand and said.

    "Yes, but"

    "Thank you. I've finished asking my questions."

    Zhou Yi ended the interrogation without giving her a chance to tell.

    When cross-examining Qin Shuimei, Sun Yuqing very skillfully guided her to admit the fact that her daughter Ge Meimei was seduced by Huang Guangming to become a "chicken". This confirmed that Qin Shuimei had a motive for murder.

    Zhou Yi did not refute this too much. Having a motive does not mean having a result. He did not need to deal with Sun Yuqing on this kind of matter. His focus was on Qin Shuimei's previous confession.

    "Ms. Qin, your statement at the police station said that the deceased Huang Guangming slipped and fell by himself. What happened to him before he slipped and fell?" Zhou Yi said.

    "At that timeit was very chaotic. Huang Guangming and I struggled, but I didn't push him. Then he fell" Qin Xiangling said: "That's why I said, he  He slipped and fell"

    "Did you see Huang Li at that time? What was Huang Li doing when you and Huang Guangming were scuffling?" Zhou Yi said: "Did she lose her normalcy and come over or rush over, and come into contact with your two bodies?  ?¡±

    This is not to frame Huang Li. According to Zhou Yi's defense thinking, the final result is that Qin Shuimei is acquitted, and Huang Li will not bear any responsibility.  This is a technique commonly used by lawyers.  In Hong Kong and the common law system, there is a term called ¡®reasonable narrative¡¯.

    The so-called reasonable narrative refers to guiding the defendant to rationalize the confession after the defense lawyer understands the truth of the matter and ensures that it will not harm a third party.  This is essentially different from perjury, which is to distort the truth, while 'reasonable telling' is to ensure the restoration of the truth or the restoration of part of the truth.

    So the defense lawyer sometimes says to the defendant: "I need a reasonable story." Many people regard this as the lawyer leading the witness to commit perjury, which is very ridiculous.

    "Sheshe seemed to have moved. At first, I just argued with Huang Guangming and didn't notice her. Later" Qin Shuimei tried hard to recall Zhou Yi's guidance to her at the Correctional Department.  : "Later, Huang Guangming and I had a fierce argument. She seemed to have moved at that time, but it was so chaotic that I can't remember clearly. She might have come over. And she was in contact with us. Maybe she didn't move at all.  "

    "Why didn't you say that at the police station?" Zhou Yi asked.

    "Because I'm not sure, I don't want to say it. I don't want her to be implicated." Qin Shuimei said.

    It¡¯s okay if what she said is Professor Zhou Yi¡¯s ¡®reasonable statement¡¯.  But if you analyze it carefully, every sentence is correct and seems to be the truth; Huang Li must have been moved at that time, otherwise she would be dead.  As for whether Huang Li had any contact with her or Huang Guangming's body, it was normal for her to not be able to see clearly in the chaotic situation at that time.

    This kind of "reasonable telling" taught in advance is to conceal some facts, which is one of the lawyer's skills. Zhou Yi just wanted to "exploit" Huang Li's flaw, not to distort the truth, because the truth is that Qin Shuimei did not kill anyone.

    "Defendant, I hope you will testify truthfully. Is it because you were really unsure at the time of the crime or because you were under the influence of others?"Are you saying this because of the influence of these people?  You made it very clear at the police station that you saw the deceased slip and fall to his death!  "

    Sun Yuqing was an experienced prosecutor, and of course he was no stranger to the technique of 'reasonable telling', so he asked loudly: "Now you say you are not sure, and you said that Huang Li might have met you and the deceased. You were the only ones in room 801 at that time.  There are three people, you can't clearly see clearly. Are you lying? If you lie, you will be charged with 'obstructing justice'!"

    "I object. I object to the prosecutor making subjective guesses and threatening the defendant." Zhou Yi said: "Please don't forget, the prosecutor, that in order to avoid the police who raided the inspection, there were no lights in room 801, even if the windows could be seen through.  Even the bright light was not enough for the defendant to fully see what happened at that time. If Huang Li rushed up from behind the defendant, the defendant would most likely not be able to see clearly under the circumstances! The defendant had not seen clearly at the police station before.  When it comes to Huang Li, it¡¯s not that the defendant lied or wasn¡¯t honest, quite the contrary"

    Zhou Yi turned around and loudly said to the jury: "This just shows that the defendant is a kind and honest person. She was unwilling to say things that she was not sure about at the police station because it might implicate others. Such  A person is actually accused of 'lying' by the prosecutor without any reason? I think everyone can't accept it!"

    "Is this okay? Is there any justice in this?"

    Yang Cai's eyes widened when she heard this. Although she had a law firm and was qualified to file a petition, she was still a long way from being able to talk and argue calmly in court. Zhou Yi's trick  No matter how hard the tactics are used, she won't be convinced.

    "Prosecutor, please stop cross-examining witnesses based on subjective guesses. Defense lawyer, I also want to remind you, please don't be too excited. We are not asking you to make a closing statement now."

    The presiding judge glanced at both sides with dissatisfaction and said, "Now let's ask the prosecution and defense to make closing statements." As a judge with many years of experience, he had already guessed what Zhou Yi was going to play.  However, 'reasonable telling' is not prohibited by law. He neither opposes nor supports it and maintains a neutral attitude.
