Chapter 178 Do you have any questions about our country's protection of the families of martyrs
Upon hearing this, Wei Changfeng's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
But things quickly calmed down.
He had originally hoped to catch the other party off guard by editing the recordings.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen spotted the editing breaks at a glance.
This level of insight far exceeded his expectations!
"The examination of the appellant's new evidence has been completed."
Song Mingyuan looked at the plaintiff's seat and asked, "Does the original victim's legal representative have any supplementary evidence to submit for the second instance?"
"Yes," Shen Yi replied, raising his hand to indicate.
Jiang Chen then presented the three prepared documents one by one.
"We have submitted three sets of supplementary evidence."
Shen Yi spoke up.
"The first set: a complete audio recording of the entire negotiation process for the letter of understanding, and a written testimony from the witnesses who accompanied the negotiation."
Shen Yi's words were resounding.
"This recording fully documents the entire process by which the appellant's family demanded that the victim change his statement and withdraw his report in exchange for 300,000 yuan, and used the threats of 'false accusation leading to imprisonment' and 'ruining your reputation' to exert verbal pressure."
"This is sufficient proof that the letter of understanding did not represent the victim's true intentions, and that the appellant's subjective malice in obstructing testimony was clear and his actions were evident!"
These words shocked everyone present.
All eyes in the gallery were fixed on the plaintiff's seat.
You even have this kind of evidence?
Why aren't the first instance court documents being presented?!
Wei Changfeng's expression also changed.
How could the other side possess such definitive evidence?
Can……
Why didn't Jiang Chen bring it up during the first trial?
Is it...
He had already prepared for the second trial in advance?
The viewers in the live stream were also stunned.
[Oh my god, there's even a recording!]
[With this recording, why wasn't it presented during the first trial? It's a game-changer!]
[Perhaps... Jiang Chen did it on purpose?]
[Wow, so you played hard to get early on, then pulled off a sudden burst of damage during the second trial, huh!]
This thing is a sure-fire killer, whether it's the first trial or the second trial!
[We initially thought only they were recording, but it turns out the victim was also secretly recording!]
[This young lady is quite good; she's relatively rational and hasn't been blinded by their offer of 300,000 yuan!]
Before Wei Changfeng could think it over, Shen Yi continued.
"The second set includes two documents: the 'Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Judicial Protection for Families of Martyrs' and relevant judicial guidance documents from this province."
"Severely punishing those who infringe upon the rights of martyrs' families in accordance with the law is a judicial discretion standard with clear policy basis."
"The original trial's severe sentence was based on a strict application of regulations, not on public opinion, and certainly not on an excessively harsh sentence!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Jiang Chen followed up with his own words.
"In this regard, we would like to add a question: Does the defendant's questioning of this point imply a challenge to our country's detailed regulations for the protection of the families of martyrs?"
As soon as he said this, all eyes in the room turned to Wei Changfeng.
His expression was already uneasy, and now he looked even more embarrassed.
He never expected Jiang Chen to ask such a question.
Isn't this deliberately setting a trap for him?
Even the presiding judge's gaze lingered on Wei Changfeng for a moment.
Viewers in the live stream were stunned for a moment, then erupted in discussion.
【?????】
[It's that same trick again; one good move and you're set for life!]
[As expected of Attorney Jiang, she can use the same tactic in different situations.]
Don't be fooled by how often this trick is used; it's incredibly effective!
The tactic of labeling someone is timeless!
[If the opposing lawyer dares to say a single right thing, we'll be hauling tons of bullets one day!]
[Not that little!]
"The third group: Eighteen pages of chat logs and screenshots of online posts by the appellant's father, Pei Zhenbang, and company employees during the first instance trial, spreading false rumors such as 'the victim's extortion' and 'honey trap'!"
Seeing that Wei Changfeng did not answer, Shen Yi continued.
"After the incident, the appellant not only refused to repent, but also continued to defame and insult the victim, further aggravating the psychological harm. Their obstruction of testimony was egregious and should be severely punished according to law!"
These three sets of evidence were presented, each more solid than the last.
In particular, the complete audio recordings and official documents directly shut down the other party's two core grounds for appeal!
The live stream chat instantly went wild!
[A decisive blow! This is a decisive blow; no wonder the military hired a defense lawyer!]
Their evidence includes official documents! The severe sentence is based on evidence, not arbitrary!
[I never expected they would spread rumors and slander online? This is an even more serious offense!]
[That was too solid! Every piece of evidence hit the nail on the head!]
[There's no solution now, we can send them in!]
[I suggest you increase the sentence by one level and let the defendant enjoy the good life!]
In the audience, Pei Zhenbang's face turned completely black.
You could see the veins bulging on his hand as he gripped the water glass.
He never expected that the other party would record the entire audio, even digging up the fact that he had hired someone to spread rumors!
Song Mingyuan gestured to the court clerk to hand over the evidence, then looked at the defendant's seat: "Appellant and defense counsel, please present your cross-examination opinions on the three sets of evidence submitted by the victim."
After quickly examining the evidence, Wei Changfeng stood up, still trying to appear calm.
"Regarding the first complete recording, we object to its legality. This recording was made privately by the victim without the consent of the appellant's family, and is therefore illegal evidence that should be excluded and cannot be used as the basis for a judgment!"
Upon hearing this, Tao Yi's pupils constricted, and her expression grew even angrier.
Their recordings were privately made, but weren't the other party's recordings also privately made?
On what basis can the other party's recording be used as evidence?
Are Tao Wanwan's recordings going to be put away?
Isn't this a double standard?
"Regarding the second set of documents, they are merely internal guidelines and not formal sources of law. They cannot be used as a legal basis for sentencing and are not directly related to this case."
Wei Changfeng did not directly answer Jiang Chen's question, but instead made up a random excuse to brush it off.
But this also exposed his guilty conscience!
"Furthermore, regarding the third set of online comments, they were all posted by third-party individuals and are unrelated to the appellant, Pei Yanzhou. Therefore, they cannot be attributed to the appellant himself, nor can they be used as grounds for heavier punishment!"
After a series of questioning, Wei Changfeng stubbornly maintained his logic.
But the confidence in his tone had clearly weakened.
He knew in his heart that the other side's three sets of evidence were extremely damaging!
The complete recording, in particular, almost definitively establishes the charge of obstruction of testimony!
Jiang Chen sat at the table, a very faint smile playing on his lips.
Does the other party think they can overturn the case with just a few weak testimonies?
That's incredibly naive!
Presiding Judge Song Mingyuan, with a steady gaze, confirmed in turn: "Does either side have any other new evidence to submit?"
"The appellant did not."
"We don't have any."
"The presentation and examination of evidence have concluded."
Song Mingyuan tapped the gavel.
"Now, regarding the points of contention, both the prosecution and the defense may cross-question the appellant."
"The prosecutor will ask questions first!"
