Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Chapter 294 Contempt of Court? A dumping witness?

"You fart!"

No one expected Gao Xiaoping's sudden outburst.

Although Zhang Wei knew that the person involved had a bad temper, he didn't expect the other party to be so courageous!

Roar in court!

And still facing the judge, facing Lao Guo, he uttered a foul language directly.

The audience's eyes were all focused on the defense seats, and on Gao Xiaoping who was beside Zhang Wei.

After Guo Wufeng experienced the initial astonishment, a tricky smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Your Excellency, is the defendant yelling at the court? What kind of place does she think this is, and she can be so presumptuous!"

What kind of opportunity is this, an opportunity to export with the wind, how could Guo Wufeng miss it.

He looked at Zhang Wei again, with a sneer on his face: "As well as the defense lawyer, can you please restrain your client? In this sacred court, if you do this, it is simply contempt of the court. Do you still have that in your heart?" Judge, is there still order?"

All right.

Zhang Wei admitted that he was really uncomfortable with the opponent's firepower.

But who makes people export with the wind now?

Take a look around, the 12 pairs of eyes in the jury, looking at your client.

They looked at Gao Xiaoping, just like looking at a criminal, with disgust and disgust in their eyes.

Zhang Wei sighed helplessly, stood up slowly, and pressed Gao Xiaoping down again.

"Ms. Gao, I should have said, you can't even control your temper, how can you make the jury believe you!"

"I...I'm upset that they slandered me!" Gao Xiaoping also realized the problem at this moment, but her mouth was still relentless.

"I'm not happy either, but I can control my temper, at least I won't get angry at the judge, and suddenly make such a loud noise in court!"

Zhang Wei chuckled and looked at the trial seat at the same time.

According to his guess, the judge will not turn a blind eye to the voice just now.

Even if Judge Liu wanted to settle down, Lao Guo probably wouldn't allow him to do so.

In fact, Judge Liu is making a choice.

"Do you want to hit the hammer? Do you want to hit it? What should I do after I hit it? This is the first time I face Zhang Wei. Will he be dissatisfied with me?"

Thinking of Zhang Wei's title of "Murder Lawyer", Judge Liu felt inexplicably flustered.

"Your Excellency, what are you hesitating about!"

But as Zhang Wei said, Guo Wufeng is currently exporting with the wind, and he will not let go of such an opportunity.

"The defendant's behavior just now not only interrupted what I said, she is also provoking your authority, the judge!"

"You have already warned her once in advance, but she still committed the crime knowingly, just like she has received notice from witnesses after the medical regulations in Dongfangdu were updated, but she still went her own way. Such behavior is completely contemptuous of others. !"

"Your Excellency, if you tolerate it again, it will encourage the defendant's behavior. As a judge, please show the courage you should have!"

Guo Wufeng's few words made Judge Liu understand the seriousness of the matter.

Boom!

The latter really hit the hammer.

"Defendant, this court believes that your behavior just now is completely contempt of the court. This court has clearly informed you before, telling you not to get excited and not to act radically, but you have not repented at all!"

"Now this court declares that you are in contempt of court. You must remain silent until it is your turn to speak. After the court is dissolved, I will temporarily detain you for contempt of court. I hope you will calm down in the next few days!"

Although Judge Liu didn't like this very much, as a judge, he must maintain the majesty of the court.

After he finished his announcement, he looked at Zhang Wei: "Defense lawyer, do you have any objections to this court's announcement?"

"Your Excellency, the defense has no objection, and we also do not agree with the irrational behavior of the client. We apologize to the court, the jury, and everyone in the hearing!"

Zhang Wei lowered his posture, bowed deeply to everyone, and apologized.

His attitude is very good, but whether these people appreciate it is another matter.

"Lawyer Zhang, you let them detain me like this?"

Seeing Zhang Wei bowing and apologizing, Gao Xiaoping didn't even say a word for herself, and was about to get angry again.

"Ms. Gao, if you get angry again, I will terminate the cooperation with you directly!"

"If you defy the court twice in court and yell at the judge, the Bar Association will decide that you have no sincerity in cooperation. Even if I unilaterally terminate your employment relationship with you, it will not violate professional ethics. You know your own Situation!"

Zhang Wei will not spoil this woman, she has a bad temper, but his temper is not small.

Lawyers are not in the service industry, and they don't need to lick their clients. The two parties are in a cooperative relationship.

For a lawyer like him, he can choose his clients completely. Who is happy to help you while being angry with you at the same time.

At least Zhang Wei can't do this. While thinking of helping others, he still wants to be looked down upon by others.

After some serious "threats", Gao Xiaoping could only be honest.

Although her clenched fists and rubbed teeth are still reminding others, there is still anger in her heart.

But after all, she was a little apprehensive and didn't dare to lose her temper with Zhang Wei again.

"A difficult customer, I won't spoil you either!"

Zhang Wei sneered in his heart, then he ignored Gao Xiaoping and turned to the jury.

Looking at it, his expression was a little gloomy.

The client was honest, but her out-of-control behavior just now made the trial more difficult.

All 12 jurors looked at Gao Xiaoping with disgust.

They knew that Gao Xiaoping, a woman, would lose control, so wouldn't it mean that she might do irrational things when she was helping others deliver babies?

How could such a life-threatening matter be entrusted to a grumpy woman?

Judging by the posture of the jury, if a verdict is needed now, 12% of the votes are guilty!

"It's safe!"

Similarly, Guo Wufeng and Zhao Chunming also noticed the jury's reaction.

As experienced prosecutors, the two of them also have a lot of trial experience.

When they saw the jury's reaction, they already understood that as long as they don't waste their money and play it safe, they will definitely win.

In the hearing booth, the friends from the criminal department all showed nervous expressions.

No way, no way?

The famous and vicious Lawyer Zhang is going to lose?

Although they didn't want to admit it, the jury's expressions clearly told them that we don't like this defendant very much.

Even if you are a newcomer, even if you don't know how to read words and expressions, anyone can see clearly just by looking at the jury box.

"Lawyer Zhang, I'm about to lose..."

Su Xiaoqian, the most active girl among the newcomers, looked at Zhang Wei in the court and forced her in a low voice.

"That's right, are we going to witness the fall of a superstar when we listen to it for the first time?"

"Superstar is an exaggeration, Lawyer Zhang is at most Ran Qi's new star!"

"Ah, my one thousand yuan, my snack money for this month o(╥﹏╥)o..."

Among the crowd, the saddest one might be Lin Yumeng who also came to watch the battle.

The only thing she remembered was that she bet 1,000 yuan on Zhang Weiying.

It seemed that the 1,000 yuan was about to fly away from his pocket.

"That girl who looks like she's about to cry is the fat man's daughter from the Lin family?"

In the corner of the jury seat, another person noticed the change in Lin Yumeng's expression. He was Hua Chaofan.

"It's really weird. The fat man looked bad. I heard that his wife is not very good, but his daughter's genes are not bad, it can't be..."

"No, no, if there is a problem, that old man Lin Jincheng will never bear it. Maybe the person with the problem has disappeared long ago. This old man has a dark heart!"

Hua Chaofan shook his head and looked away from Lin Yumeng.

Although he is a junior, but this time he came to participate in the trial, the focus of his attention was still on Zhang Wei.

"This kid is going to lose. His reputation is not really empty. It's all about luck, right?"

Hua Chaofan didn't quite believe what the fat man of the Lin family said, but now that he saw the trial, he was even more sure of this.

"Hmph, boring..."

His time is precious, and since Zhang Wei is at a disadvantage, he feels that if he continues to watch, it will be a bit boring.

Because he guessed that he might not have a chance to see the defense prove himself today, and he still has other things to do, so he doesn't need to waste time here.

He got up and left the court quickly, his movements were very smooth.

In court, Zhang Wei did not know that he had left a difficult audience.

He is thinking about how to restore the disadvantage.

"Prosecutor, do you still need to ask questions?"

Judge Liu looked at Guo Wufeng.

The latter shook his head with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

His goal has been achieved, because the witness Lao Yi's speech has already let the jury know one thing.

Defendant Gao Xiaoping continued to practice medicine illegally even though she had clearly received the notice.

Coupled with his question just now, it completely angered the latter, causing him to do something irrational.

It can be said that this one is sure!

The advantage is on our prosecution side!

"Your Excellency, the prosecution has ended its questioning of this witness!"

"Okay then, the defense, please start the cross-examination!"

Following the judge's announcement, Guo Wufeng walked back to the prosecution bench.

And Zhang Wei got up slowly.

He first warned Gao Xiaoping with his eyes not to act rashly, and then he walked to the front of the witness stand.

"Hello, Lao Yi!"

"Hello, lawyer!"

Lao Yi is also a veteran prosecutor. It can be said that the people he has dealt with the most in his life are defense lawyers like Zhang Wei.

It was his job to confront defense lawyers.

So facing Zhang Wei, Lao Yi was very calm, just as calm as meeting his neighbors.

"Excuse me, Lao Yi, how long have you known my client?"

"Didn't I just say that I have been a local inspector of Beichong Island for 30 years, and just a few years after I moved to Beichong Island, the defendant came. We have known each other for more than 20 years."

"Indeed, according to what you said, you are not only a witness for the prosecution in this case, but you can also meet the requirements to be a character witness for my client, right?"

"be opposed to!"

As soon as Zhang Wei had finished speaking, Guo Wufeng stood up directly.

How could he fail to see Zhang Wei's thoughts.

Tried to use prosecution witnesses to intercede for the accused.

This trick is generally not used by defense lawyers, or dare not use it.

Because prosecution witnesses generally do not stand on the defendant's side, they usually stand on the prosecution side and are enemies of the defense.

Would you expect the enemy to speak well of the defendant? Don't be funny, this kind of thing is almost impossible to happen.

But Zhang Wei is different. This kid likes to show off routines. When necessary, he even dares to summon the enemy.

Therefore, Guo Wufeng knew that Zhang Wei's appointment of Lao Yi as a character witness was not a whim, and there must be another purpose.

And what he has to do is to kill this possible variable.

"Your Excellency, the list of witnesses clearly shows that Prosecutor Yi on the witness stand is a witness for the prosecution, not a witness for the defense submitted by lawyer Zhang, and it is even less likely that he is a character witness for the defendant. If the lawyer for the defense insists on letting the witness for the prosecution To prove the character of the defendant, the witness has the right to refuse!"

Guo Wufeng's words were not only addressed to the judge, but also to remind Lao Yi on the witness stand.

If Zhang Wei asks some questions about the family's short stories and has nothing to do with the case, you have the right to refuse.

"Yes, the prosecutor is right!"

Judge Liu also nodded in agreement, and then looked at Zhang Wei: "Attorney for the defense, please pay attention, the witnesses for the prosecution only need to answer questions related to the case!"

"I see, Your Honor!"

Zhang Wei naturally nodded, but the curve of the corner of his mouth was still upward.

Obviously, he already has plans.

"Ahem, then continue to ask questions!"

Zhang Wei stepped in front of Lao Yi, and then said with a smile: "Prosecutor Yi, or the former prosecutor, is it more appropriate to call you like this?"

"casual."

Lao Yi continued to answer with a smile, with a calm attitude.

"Okay, Lao Yi!"

Zhang Wei's Xia's words made Lao Yi unable to laugh.

Who are you, call me Lao Yi, are you familiar with me?

Can't you call me a witness?

But Zhang Wei didn't care about these, the address was only secondary, and he started asking questions.

"Old Yi, I want to ask if you have handled any complaints about my client when you were a prosecutor at the Beichong Island District Prosecutor's Office?"

"This..." Lao Yi thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Not really."

"For more than 20 years, almost 30 years, there has not been a single complaint about my client?"

"Indeed not!"

"Not even a ticket, not a single complaint from neighbors?"

"There are no tickets and complaints, if there are, I will definitely speak up."

Hearing Lao Yi's affirmative answer, Zhang Wei smiled: "Doesn't that mean that my client is a good citizen because he abides by the law?"

"Ahem!"

As soon as he finished muttering here, Guo Wufeng on the prosecution's seat coughed "at the right time".

This is a warning!

Warn Zhang Wei not to be clever, and still want Lao Yi to be a character witness, do you really think I can't see or hear?

Zhang Wei was warned, and immediately smiled apologetically at Judge Liu.

"Old Yi, I would like to ask, are you sure that you warned my client in a righteous way and told her not to continue providing medical services to the residents of Beichong Island?"

"this……"

Zhang Wei's question made Lao Yi stunned for a moment.

"I did inform her at the time..."

"What did you say then?"

"I……"

Lao Yi recalled, "I found her at that time, and then told her about some changes in regulations after the merger of the district. For example, there is a regulation on licenses in the medical sector."

"After that, did you earnestly implement and implement this regulation, for example, to check whether my client is still providing delivery services for the mother, and have you clearly corrected her behavior?"

"this……"

Lao Yi was really speechless this time.

Because a few years ago, after the regulations were made, he did find Gao Xiaoping and told him about it.

But he didn't think too much about it at the time, so he casually said something like "You have to be careful."

After that, Gao Xiaoping continued to help the mother deliver the baby, and he didn't care too much.

It's not that he doesn't want to take care of it, but he can't.

Because the regular hospital is a bit far away, it takes more than an hour to drive there. Some villagers living on the edge of the island have to drive more than two hours to get there. Moreover, many residents rely on fishing for a living and have no vehicles at home. , Going to the hospital is a problem.

Without Gao Xiaoping's help, it would be too difficult for many pregnant women to come and go, and it would be too difficult to reach the hospital on the island.

So, he really didn't strictly enforce the rule at the time.

"Old Yi, I think my client violated the law knowingly, and the responsibility is not on her..."

Zhang Wei caught the change of Lao Yi's expression in an instant, and immediately said with a smile: "The real responsibility is on you. It is your actions that allowed her to know the law and break the law!"

"be opposed to!"

Guo Wufeng got up immediately.

"Your Excellency, I think what I said is correct. The former prosecutor of Beichong Island did not implement the new regulations at all. He did not confirm whether the regulations were strictly enforced except after informing my client at the beginning. Do you think his behavior is the root cause of my client knowingly breaking the law?"

"Without his connivance, if he reminded me many times and showed warnings, my client might have changed jobs a few years ago, or retired early?"

Zhang Wei also spread his hands and looked innocently at the trial seat.

"This..." When Judge Liu saw this, he immediately found himself in trouble.

On the one hand, he has to worry about Guo Wufeng, and there is also the pressure from Zhao Chunming at the hearing.

On the other hand, what Zhang Wei said was also very reasonable. Lao Yi, the former prosecutor, did not do a good job in implementing the regulations.

So, what's the deal?

"Zhang Wei, I know you want to take the blame, but you can't prove that the witness really connived at the defendant!"

"Old Guo, you are wrong, I can prove it!"

Guo Wufeng's words were rebuked by Zhang Wei.

"How do you prove it?" Guo Wufeng was stunned, with a vague premonition in his heart.

Zhang Wei turned his head to look at the witness stand, and asked in a cold voice: "Old Yi, I would like to ask, did my client come to you in a panic one night three years ago? Her car broke down that day, and she Need to go to the very edge of the island and help a family deliver the baby?"

"this……"

"Is there such a thing?"

Facing Zhang Wei's sharp eyes, Lao Yi finally nodded, "...Yes, there is such a thing."

"Well, please tell me, and everyone, what did you do that night?"

"I……"

Lao Yi hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Guo Wufeng and the jury, showing a trace of hesitation.

But in the end, he still said frankly: "Because I was afraid of delaying time, and I was also afraid that the family's daughter would have an accident... I, I drove her there myself..."

"Did this incident happen three years ago, after the new medical regulations in Oriental Capital came down?"

"Yes, it is!"

"That is to say, you didn't ask my client to stop practicing medicine in accordance with the regulations. On the contrary, you directly helped her, right?"

"You can say that, I don't deny it."

Now that everything has been explained before, Lao Yi admitted quickly this time.

And with his admission, the audience was in an uproar.

Good guy, it turns out that you, the former prosecutor, really connived at the defendant.

There has been a noticeable change in the wind direction of the courtroom.

It's another busy week, there are cases in Yixing and Qiaozhen, and Wuxi is under martial law again...
