Sun Yuqing also knew what Zhou Yi wanted to do at this time, but he had no way to stop it. He could only sigh secretly and began his closing statement: "Your Honor, distinguished jurors, the crime of murder is a crime of very bad nature. The defendant was seduced by the deceased because of his daughter and engaged in immoral transactions. Activity"
His closing statement had nothing new. It was just a repetition of the evidence that was favorable to him, inferring that Qin Shuimei pushed Huang Guangming out of the window and fell to his death to vent his anger, and finally asked the jury to convict Qin Shuimei of murder. Ge Meimei is a minor, and because the case involves her personal privacy, she has the right to refuse to testify in court. However, during the trial, Qin Shuimei denied the fact that Ge Meimei was seduced by Huang Guangming to have sex with her. Certainly, combined with Zhang Shui's testimony, it can be confirmed as fact, so Sun Yuqing can quote it. In this way, it seems that Qin Shuimei has a motive for killing.
"Your Honor, distinguished jurors, I very much agree with what the prosecutor just said"
Zhou Yi smiled slightly and said: "Yes, the crime of murder is a very bad crime. Because of this, once the crime is convicted, my client, Ms. Qin, will inevitably be sentenced to life imprisonment. Each of us must defend the loss with our lives." freedom, so we need to be extremely cautious in judging sin and non-crime!¡±
¡°The spirit of the rule of law in Xiangjiang is that ¡®the benefit of the doubt belongs to the defendant¡¯. In other words, to determine whether a person is guilty, the evidence presented by the prosecution must be able to eliminate all doubts, otherwise the defendant cannot be found guilty.¡±
Zhou Yi's voice was neither high nor low, and his speaking speed was kept slightly faster than a normal person: "The testimonies given by the three witnesses in this case all have obvious doubts. The witness Zhang Shui cannot prove what happened in Room 801. The truth of the matter; the witness Mr. Lin Hui cannot prove that Huang Guangming fell because my client pushed him; as for the witness Miss Huang Li, she is simply an addict. After taking a large amount of drugs and having hallucinations, she If you can¡¯t even control your own behavior, how can you testify?¡±
"In addition. I must also remind all jurors that the third witness in this case, Ms. Huang, should actually be sitting in the defendant's box like my client!"
Zhou Yi pointed to the defendant's column and said loudly: "According to the testimony of the expert witness, Ms. Huang probably made aggressive actions because of 'environmental inducements' that night. So is it possible that she pushed the deceased? Of course, this possibility Very small. Just as small as the possibility that my client would kill Huang Guangming. It was only because my client was worried about making a wrong judgment that Ms. Huang was not mentioned, so that instead of becoming a defendant, she became a prosecution witness! "
"In other words, there are actually two suspects in this case, and they may be the murderers; of course. It is also possible that the deceased Huang Guangming slipped and fell to his death. This leaves at least three possibilities!" Zhou Yi said: " To find my client guilty of murder, the prosecution has the obligation to prove that the other two possibilities do not exist, otherwise there will be doubts!"
¡°In British legal history, there has been a ¡®secret room murder case¡¯¡¡±
Zhou Yidao: "In this case, there were two suspects and a corpse in a closed space. Obviously, one of the two suspects must be the real murderer. But the two accused each other of committing the murder. The prosecution could not prove who told lies, so both of them were ultimately acquitted! This is the spirit of the modern rule of law, and this is the so-called 'better to be spared than to be punished'! I think, at this moment, all the jurors should have already We have a decision, that is - my client, Qin Shuimei, is not guilty of murder!"
Half an hour later, the jury returned to the courtroom. Such a short period of time shows that the jury's opinion should be surprisingly unanimous. For serious crimes such as murder, it is normal for juries to discuss all day and night, and there are even cases where the jury was unable to reach a majority opinion and had to be dismissed and then reconstituted.
"Your honor, we have the result."
The chief juror stood up and said: "We passed with a large vote of 6 to 1. The defendant's murder chargeis not found guilty!"
"The defendant is not guilty of murder. I declare that the defendant will be released in court!"
The presiding judge looked at Zhou Yi with a smile and nodded slightly. She was also a woman.
Sun Yuqing sighed. He packed up his things and left the court without even shaking hands with Zhou Yi. He felt a little aggrieved that he lost the case. Qin Shuimei, with tears in her eyes, walked out of the prisoners' column and came to Zhou Yi: "Zhou Dazhuang, thank you, thank you"
"Okay, go home quickly." Zhou Yi said with a smile: "By the way, before going home, don't forget to pick up your daughter Meimei first. She must miss you very much."

Being a temporary guest lawyer and talking in court is like a new person in life.It seems good to try, just like a person on a journey, to see different scenery. But to be honest, Zhou Yi is not very used to this kind of court argument that is too rational and devoid of sensibility. The system gives him the opportunity to peek into a more magical world. The people he meets, whether it is Su Dingfang Wangdong or Mingwei Monk Gu Taoists are all "seekers" who are too emotional to be emotional and full of imagination. The same is true for Zhouyi now. If Zhang Hua hadn't been born in a pitiful life and was an unreasonable half-mad man who has not yet recovered, he wouldn't be a lawyer. .
In Zhou Yi's view, this experience has passed away, but it is unimaginable that it will lead to some things in the future. In the mouths of Gudao and others, it is cause and effect. And after being a "guest" lawyer for a few days, you will have a very strange feeling, like schizophrenia and personality dislocation. Not to mention after getting the idler system, I rarely had this feeling before. Zhou Yi is not a Mentally ill.
Lawyers are a very strange group of people. They pursue justice, but often stand on the dark side. They deal with the upper class and the lower class of society. They will not easily trust anyone, even themselves. This unique experience will even produce a kind of personality distortion over time, making these people become calm and scary. Their rationality can be compared to computers, but they gradually lose their unique human sensibility.
Compared with practitioners who regard the pursuit of the mysteries of life as their lifelong goal, these are two extremes. Even the role reversal in the past few days gave Zhou Yi a very uncomfortable feeling. When it comes to the world of mortals, lawyers should be the ones who are the deepest in the world of mortals. For a kind of person, this is also like a tempering, which cannot be said to be experiential, but it is also mental.
Qin Shuimei was acquitted, and Zhang Hua's mind seemed to be released. He was riding a horse with a spring breeze on his face, his long hair flowing under the jockey's hat. The madman turned into an old handsome guy, which attracted many female horse fans to shout excitedly. Everyone wanted to sit on Hei Feng's body.
Heifeng is also more energetic. This horse depends on people. Apart from Zhou Yi, Zhang Hua is the only one who can completely control it. Even the catkins are almost hot. After running for most of the season, not only are they one with Zhang Hua, but they are also one. It can feel Zhang Hua's changes. , snorting and kicking excitedly, before he started running, dark red appeared under the black fur.
¡°Sweat-blooded black wind! Wow!¡±
It is no secret that Heifeng is a bloody horse. Even if the horse fans in the field are not Bole, they are still experts in horse knowledge. Heifeng has brought them a lot of wealth for most of the season, so they will naturally pay attention to this horizontal horse. A dark horse born out of nowhere. Compared with "Sea Level", although it is dark enough, its mass base is still a bit inferior. It cannot compare with Black Wind, which has many fans and countless human fans.
The horse fans who shouted the loudest were the horse fans of the "Three Groups". Now the underground network co-founded by Zhou Yi, Li Shuangkai, and He Yingdong has controlled most of the underground horse racing industry in Hong Kong. It has strong service and can make money. It can also be used to deal with horses that make them faint. It is necessary to give good advice and formulate rules to guide horse racing, a semi-gambling sports activity, towards sports, fun and gambling.
There is a huge difference between betting and gambling. The former is a hobby and the latter is a bad habit. In the era when Tan Niansheng completely controlled the underground horse racing world, betting on horses completely became gambling. Now, Zhou Yi and the others have established an underground network that has diverted traffic back to normal. , which has achieved an effect that even the Hong Kong Jockey Club cannot achieve. Among them are the influence of the Li family and the He family, as well as the "inside information" revealed by Zhou Yi from time to time. With such a good underground boss, following him is tantamount to Are you following the party?
When thinking of this, even Gao Jin, the God of Gamblers, wanted to be called the God of Gamblers, but he failed to do what Zhou Yi did.
However, today he is Zhou Yi's opponent, a sympathetic opponent.
ps: Year after year has passed like this. What have we gained, what have we left behind, and what do we need to remember?
In fact, you don¡¯t have to think about it too much. Look at the present and cherish your family. This is your greatest asset; compared with it, wealth, poverty, and the ups and downs of life, what do they mean?
