Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

"You mean you found the defendant's fingerprints on the envelope!"

"That's right!"

After hearing this, Huang Fang looked at the defense chair and emphasized repeatedly: "There are many fingerprints on the envelope. Although this does not mean anything, but the envelope contains fungi that only the defendant and others can touch, and there are no other researcher's fingerprints on the envelope. Fingerprints, the combination of these two pieces of evidence can prove that the defendant is the person who sent the letter, and she is the murderer!"

Lin Ruonan paused for a moment, but still nodded and said, "You can say that!"

In the jury seat, whether it was the nurse girl or the housewife, they all looked at the defense seat with a hint of unkindness.

Wang Yuqing's fingerprints plus the fungus that only she can touch, these add up can be called ironclad evidence.

"Objection!" Zhang Wei stood up at the right time and retorted: "The prosecution is leading witnesses to guess. My client Wang Yuqing is only a suspect. It is an act of transgression!"

In the face of Zhang Wei's objection, Huang Fang also said: "Your Honor, I think the testimony of Team Leader Lin can be accepted as an expert witness. The criminal investigation experience is enough to serve as an expert witness!"

But Zhang Wei immediately answered: "Your Excellency, no one objects to the witness's criminal investigation experience, but there are people in the military investigation department who are more qualified than the team leader Lin Ruonan, and the prosecution obviously misunderstood the "expert witness" The meaning of the word, which in my opinion is very unprofessional! "

"You say I'm unprofessional!?" Hearing Zhang Wei's rebuttal, Huang Fang became angry immediately.

"Not bad!" Zhang Wei immediately snapped back.

He looked at the trial seat: "Your Excellency, the so-called expert witness refers to a witness who has expert qualifications and is allowed to help the jury or the court understand certain complex professional issues that are difficult for ordinary people to understand."

"Although the witness Lin Ruonan is a talent in the field of criminal investigation, I believe no one will deny it, but the Armed Forces Coordination and Investigation Department has never assessed the title of a so-called expert in solving crimes, and Lin Ruonan's deputy team leader has never declared in any public place that he is Case-solving experts, this obviously does not meet the definition of 'expert qualification' in expert witnesses!"

Brother Dan Ding looked at the prosecution and defense arguing in court, just pushed his glasses, and didn't express any opinion.

But he was thinking in his heart: This is the first witness, you two are arguing like this, if this is the next few witnesses, are you going to tear down the court?

However, he still agreed with Zhang Wei's statement, and then nodded: "Yes, when it comes to criminal investigation and case solving, there is indeed no so-called expert title rating, and witnesses cannot be accepted as expert witnesses!"

He looked at the jury seat and announced: "The jury seat cannot accept the inferences of the witnesses just now, and the final testimony of the witnesses cannot be used as the basis for judgment in the next judgment!"

In this brief confrontation, Zhang Wei seemed to have won.

But he knew that jurors would not listen to the judge. Lin Ruonan could almost say that the testimony against Wang Yuqing had been deeply imprinted in the minds of the 12 jurors.

Huang Fang also saw Zhang Wei's difficulties for the first time. This new lawyer who didn't even get a practicing certificate could actually confront her in court without changing his face, and even faintly gained the upper hand.

It seems that Tan Yingying and Wang Can were not wronged.

"Your Honor, I have no other questions about Captain Lin's statement for the time being!"

Huang Fang finished questioning, Dan Ding nodded to Zhang Wei, now is his time for cross-examination.

But when Zhang Wei came to the stage, the corner of Huang Fang's mouth was slightly curved.

"Lin Ruonan is the deputy team leader of Serious Cases 1. She has rich experience and is calm. No matter what questions you ask, she can answer them calmly. You can't find any flaws!"

It seems that Huang Fang has great confidence in Lin Ruonan, thinking that she can fight back against Zhang Wei.

"Deputy Team Leader Lin, hello!"

Zhang Wei came to the witness stand and said hello to Lin Ruonan.

"Hello." The latter also replied politely.

"I would like to ask, just now you mentioned mailboxes and envelopes, so let's start with mailboxes first. May I ask how long the serious crime team watched the surveillance video during the investigation?"

"I haven't estimated it specifically, but it's probably more than 2,000 hours!"

"Then, when the leader of your group 1 checked the video, did you find out who delivered the mail with the bacteria?"

"It's hard to judge!"

"Why is it so hard to judge?"

"Because the fungus is hidden in the envelope, and each letter is only a small picture in the surveillance, no matter how good the vision analyst is, it is difficult to judge the difference between these letters with the naked eye, so we have no way of judging what it is Letters delivered in time."

After Lin Ruonan finished speaking, he realized that Zhang Wei might want to ask another question, and added first: "However, the letter received by the congressman and his wife contained the defendant's fingerprints. I think this is enough to prove many things."

"Oh, since you mentioned letters, let's talk about letters!"

Zhang Wei paused for a moment, and then pointed to the defense seat: "According to my client Wang Yuqing, many people from the University of Medical Sciences will go to that mailbox to submit letters to the enemy, such as submitting papers, submitting articles to scientific research journals, and even writing letters to family members. Mail will be used, that is to say, the envelope with my client's fingerprints is likely to be contaminated with my client's fingerprints during the process of picking up the envelope, right?"

"Objection!" On the prosecution table, Huang Fang stood up: "This is the lawyer's own testimony, and the question of the question is not clear!"

"Your Excellency, I am asking the witness whether there is such a possibility, so I have used more explanations to describe it, please understand."

Brother Tan Ding looked at the two who were facing each other, and nodded to Zhang Wei: "I understand your question, the objection is invalid, and the witness needs to answer!"

Huang Fang had no choice but to sit down, and Zhang Wei asked again: "Deputy Team Leader Lin, is it possible for the situation I just mentioned?"

Lin Ruonan glanced at Huang Fang, and seeing that the latter did not express anything, he nodded, "Since you have said everything, it is naturally possible!"

"Then is there such a possibility that the murderer is also someone from the research institute. He randomly took a letter, put it into a fungus, and delivered it to the congressman and his wife and the other four targets through that mailbox. And the envelope of this letter On, it happens to bear my client's fingerprints?"

Lin Ruonan was expressionless, but nodded slightly: "Well, there is such a possibility."

"Fingerprints are not absolute, especially for public objects like envelopes!"

Zhang Wei explained this sentence to the jury.

Among the 12 jurors, several of them looked thoughtful, obviously considering this possibility.

"Your Honor, I have no other questions about the witnesses!"

Zhang Wei ended the questioning and returned to the defense bench.

Wang Yuqing glanced at Luo Feixiang who was on the hearing stand, then leaned over and asked, "Lawyer Zhang, how is the situation?"

"Although you won the jury's suspicion for you, the overall situation is not good, and this is the first witness. There are still many names on the prosecution's witness list!"

Zhang Wei said, looking at the jury, more than half of the 12 people looked at Wang Yuqing with hostility, which shows that they still believe that Wang Yuqing is the murderer in their hearts.

Huang Fang stood up and announced: "The prosecution summoned the second witness, Yang Qingshan, to testify in court!"

Wang Yuqing leaned over again: "Who is he, does his name sound familiar?"

"Of course it sounds familiar. He is Councilor Yang's younger brother and an aide to the councilor's office."

On the witness stand, a man who closely resembled the dead Councilor Yang sat down. He was Yang Qingshan.

"Witness, can you tell everyone your identity?"

"My name is Yang Qingshan, but I think that among the people present, not many people know me, but many people know my brother, because my brother's name is Yang Qingrui, and my sister-in-law's name is Jiang Xiaoling. They are all victims of this case!"

As soon as this statement came out, all eyes were on the witness stand.

As a staff member of the office, Yang Qingshan has been working behind the scenes on many occasions, and his exposure is indeed not as high as that of his elder brother who is a member of parliament.

But at this moment, as a family member of the victim, all the attention of the audience came to him.

"Sure enough, let the family members come to win tears again. Although this trick is old-fashioned, it has been tried and tested."

Zhang Wei also saw Huang Fang's purpose, maybe because he felt that the first witness was not strong enough, so he directly released the "killer move" in the trial, asking the family members of the deceased to testify in court, and at the same time earning sympathy.

This trick is used by many lawyers. Although it is old-fashioned, it is very useful.

Now, whether it is the jury seat or the hearing seat, everyone knows one thing. This is the family member of the victim. His elder brother and sister-in-law were murdered.

"Witness, please tell us what happened on the day of the incident?"

"As usual, my brother and I drove from home to the office, and the recipient of the office told us that letters have arrived this week, from supporters and many fans, and some are work letters or complaint letters. My brother attaches great importance to letters, because he is a more traditional person and does not use e-mail much, but he has a soft spot for letters."

"He opened one letter after another as usual, during which my sister-in-law also came to the office, she brought snacks for my brother, in fact my sister-in-law brought snacks to everyone in the office, she was the most proud of……"

"Ahem!"

Zhang Wei coughed, then got up and apologized: "Your Excellency, to be honest, I don't really want to raise an objection, but the witness's statement is a bit out of focus. Regarding the dessert, I think I can ask him to omit it?"

Brother Tan Ding nodded, and said to the witness stand: "The defense lawyer's statement is not unreasonable. Please combine the content of the witness's statement with the connection of this case. Although I am very interested in dim sum, I still don't want to talk about it in court. !"

"Sorry, I just can't help myself when I think about my brother and sister-in-law..."

Yang Qingshan quickly apologized, and then continued: "My brother has a lot of emails to read, but he insisted on reading each one until that email appeared."

"At the time, we thought it was a prank by some fans. We didn't pay much attention to the situation. We only knew that a pile of green powder flew out of the mail, and my brother and sister-in-law were contaminated a lot. The rest of us were lucky because we wanted to Give my brother and them a private space to be alone, so those damn fungi don't infect us."

"But a few minutes later, the situation happened. My brother has always been in good health. He insisted on running every day, and there was no major problem in the physical examination. But a few minutes after he was contaminated with the powder, he developed symptoms of dyspnea. My sister-in-law There was also nausea and nausea. Two people had problems one after another, and I had to call the emergency number..."

"The next thing, I think you have seen from the reports, they were hospitalized, and the attending physician found that the cause of the infection was some kind of fungus, unfortunately there is no cure for this kind of fungal infection, so we just To be able to watch my brother and sister-in-law die in pain, they...they..."

Speaking of this, Yang Qingshan on the witness stand wept silently, with an extremely sad expression.

"Thank you for the witness's answer. You can stop here. We have learned about the rest of the situation through the news. This is really a tragedy."

Huang Fang quickly comforted the witness, and waited for Yang Qingshan to recover for a while before continuing to speak: "Mr. Yang, I invite you to be a witness. Apart from telling everyone about the situation of the congressman, there is one more thing I want you to help me with." Making sure."

She pointed to Wang Yuqing on the dock and asked, "Do you know this woman?"

"Of course I do. She sent many letters to my brother, many of which were threatening!"

Huang Fang hurried to the prosecution's seat, and took a letter in a plastic bag from Zhao Jing.

"Your Honor, the prosecution presents Exhibit No. 14. This is a letter sent to Councilor Yang's office. The sender is Wang Yuqing!"

"Mr. Yang, please read it aloud for me. Is the content of this letter acceptable?"

Yang Qingshan leaned his head forward slightly, looked at the letter, and said word by word: "Mr. Yang, please take back the city councilor's decision to cut research funding. Our Research Institute of the University of Medical Sciences is working on developing antibodies against certain fungal infections, which can save The lives of millions of people, and your actions are bringing disaster to those millions of people, and you will pay the price for your actions!"

After reading the letter, Huang Fang raised her eyebrows and said, "If you pay the price, can you think that this is some kind of threat?"

"be opposed to!"

Zhang Wei stood up and looked at Huang Fang.

"Sorry, I shouldn't be guessing..."

Huang Fang also sensed her inappropriateness, but she couldn't help but said: "But whoever made the defendant's words reveal that he wanted to show Councilor Yang a little bit of color, I guess it's not wrong, right?"

Zhang Wei had no choice but to look at Brother Tan Ding: "Your Excellency, isn't the prosecution's behavior too much?"

"Prosecutor, pay attention to your words and deeds, and stop acting in front of me!"

The judge gave a warning, and then said to the jury: "Please ignore the last sentence of the prosecution!"

But he said, will the jury ignore it?

The answer is naturally no.

"Your Honor, I have no questions about this witness for the time being."

Huang Fang walked back to the prosecution bench, while Zhang Wei began to cross-examine.

"Mr. Yang, I express my sympathy for the situation you have encountered, so I will not ask you too many questions."

Yang Qingshan looked at Zhang Wei coldly, but did not respond.

"I would like to ask, you are the staff member of the congressman's office, right, do you also check letters on weekdays?"

"Of course, our staff members do the work behind the scenes, and checking letters is also part of the job!"

"Then I would like to ask, how many letters have your office received this year?"

This question surprised Zhao Chunming and others on the hearing bench, as well as Huang Fang and Zhao Jing on the prosecution bench.

"Uh, there should be tens of thousands of letters. They can receive dozens or hundreds of letters a week?"

Yang Qingshan thought for a while, this number really hasn't been counted, so he can only give a rough idea.

"So, how many of them are threatening letters?" Zhang Wei asked again.

"Threat letter?" Yang Qingshan was puzzled, and asked Zhang Wei: "What is a threat letter?"

"Oh, you don't understand, it doesn't matter, I borrowed the original words of the prosecutor's lawyer just now, 'the words between the lines reveal the appearance of wanting to show Councilor Yang a little bit', I think this is the so-called threat!"

As Zhang Wei said, he even dissed Huang Fang, causing the latter to frown and look unhappy.

"Then there are quite a few letters like this, I guess..."

"Let me tell you the answer. There are more than a thousand explicit emails, all echoing this threatening tone."

Zhang Wei was one step ahead of the opponent and answered first.

"Are you wondering why I would know, because I read all the letters at the scene and read them all by myself!"

Zhang Wei said, and asked again: "Is there any content in these letters that is worse than the threat from my client, such as death threats?"

"Well, I can't say no. After all, my brother is a member of parliament, and there are many people who are dissatisfied with his work. We also receive a lot of death threat letters every year, but many of them are anonymous!"

"That's a coincidence, I happen to have an unanonymous letter here, and I would like to ask you to help me read the contents of the letter!"

As Zhang Wei said, he took out a letter sealed in a plastic bag from his seat, and then walked back to the front of the witness stand, showing the contents of the letter.

When Yang Qingshan saw the contents of the letter, his expression changed slightly, and it was difficult to speak.

"Your Excellency, the witnesses seem to be a little uncooperative. I wonder why the prosecution's letter can be read, but the defense's letter cannot be read?"

Zhang Wei looked at Brother Dan Ding as if asking for help.

"Witness, please read the letter!"

Now that the judge has said so, Yang Qingshan can only say: "Yang Qingrui, you are a %...% of @#￥, don't think that you can just walk away with what you did with us back then, you%\u0026...* \u0026@#￥...I want to kill you, I must kill you!"

Under the pressure, Yang Qingshan finished reading the contents of the letter.

In the central part of the letter, a large part was filled with unspeakable swear words, even with his disposition of having been an aide for so many years, he also felt a little uncomfortable.

"Mr. Yang, do you know that this is just one of more than 20 death threats you have received this year, and I still have many such letters here!"

Zhang Wei said, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

But this smile made Yang Qingshan's face change drastically.

This kid, do you want me to read all these 20-odd letters in court?

This is too inhuman!
