【Not Guilty Defense-19】

The witness questioning phase was over, and Yue Xingwen retired to the defense table and sat down.

The presiding judge was silent for a moment, then said loudly: "The questioning session is over, and then we enter the stage of presenting evidence for both parties. First, ask the public prosecutor to present evidence. The defendant and defense lawyer can question the 'sex' of the evidence in court for confirmation and debate."

The proof stage during the trial is also very critical, and every piece of evidence must be carefully analyzed and confirmed. Those who rely on illegal sections, such as wiretapping, candid photography, etc. to obtain evidence, will not be recognized in court.

The prosecutor's assistant connected the USB flash drive to the computer, and a picture was enlarged on the screen - a photo of the deceased's wounds and a certificate of death cause issued by the forensic doctor. A worker also handed over a paper certificate to the court.

The prosecutor immediately stood up and said, "Here are the photos of the crime scene and the identification materials of the cause of death. After the forensic examination, the deceased had no other trauma, and there was no trace of sexual invasion before his death. There was only one wound in the heart. The wound analysis and modeling draw the murder weapon, which is exactly the same as the fruit knife seized at the scene."

The assistant sealed the murder weapon in a sterile plastic bag and presented it to the court.

The prosecutor continued: "The blood on the fruit knife belongs to the deceased Xie Xiangqin, and only the accuser, Zhu Xiaoting, has fingerprints on the handle of the knife. This is the genetic identification of the blood on the murder weapon and the result of fingerprint identification."

At the same time, a photo of the appraisal certificate was released on the big screen.

The presiding judge nodded and said, "Defendant and defense attorney, is this evidence acceptable?"

Zhu Xiaoting looked at Lan Yarong and Yue Xingwen helplessly. Unexpectedly, Yue Xingwen and Lan Yarong discussed a few words in a low voice, then stood up abruptly, and looked at the tribunal calmly: "The accuser approves the evidence related to the murder weapon."

Many audience members under the stage "showed" surprised expressions.

This physical evidence, whether it is the way to obtain it or the identification result, can't be denied. If they deny it, it will become a mess. Yue Xingwen said from another angle: "However, only the fingerprint of the accuser Zhu Xiaoting on the murder weapon does not mean that Zhu Xiaoting is the murderer."

The prosecutor frowned and said, "The defense lawyer thinks that the murderer is someone else and did not leave fingerprints on the murder weapon?"

Yue Xingwen nodded: "Yes. If the murderer has been planning to kill for a long time, the murderer can wear a pair of gloves to commit the murder, then there will be no fingerprints left on the murder weapon. Zhu Xiaoting's testimony also shows that when she entered the 703 dormitory, Xie Xiangqin had already Falling in a pool of blood, she accidentally touched the murder weapon in order to save people."

Yue Xingwen looked at the big screen and immediately said, "Please show the last photo to the assistant."

The assistant withdrew the photo, and the forensic doctor's photo of the deceased's wound and the death certificate appeared on the screen. Yue Xingwen continued: "Zhu Xiaoting had diarrhea on the beach all night, because Lin Xuefei, the murderer of Liu Jiajia's case, had diarrhea in her food. , Judgment in Liu Jiajia case this morning, Lin Xuefei mentioned this in her confession. Please allow us to submit relevant evidence to the court. "

The presiding judge nodded, and Lin Manluo handed over the printed evidence to the court.

Yue Xing Wendao: "A thin and thin girl who has diarrhea all night and weighs less than 100 kilograms is not strong enough to stab a person in the chest with a knife. Zhu Xiaoting is a liberal arts student in high school, and a translator in college. There are no medical professionals in her family and friends. Even if she had an argument with the deceased, she would stab Fang with a knife when she suffered from diarrhea all night and her body was weak. It was impossible for her to accurately stab the aorta of the heart without leaving other wounds on the deceased.”

The prosecutor frowned and said, "The defense lawyers are all hypothetical 'sex' reasoning, and there is no actual evidence!"

Yue Xingwen said: "But there are indeed doubts about this murder weapon. It is too arbitrary to confirm that Zhu Xiaoting is a murderer based on her fingerprints. If now, I touch this fruit knife and leave my fingerprints, then I will become fierce?"

The prosecutor said: "The evidence is of course not only the murder weapon, but also the footprints."

Footprint identification materials were released on the big screen: "Presiding Judge, this is a photo from the dormitory 703 at the crime scene. After trace collection and identification, the public security organ concluded that the footprints at the crime scene belonged to the deceased Xie Xiangqin and the accuser Zhu Xiaoting; the environment of the 703 dormitory; □□ Personal fingerprints were collected, not belonging to the roommates of Xie Xiangqin, Zhu Xiaoting, "Mao" Yue and Li Huijuan. On the morning of October 26, "Mao" Yue and Li Huijuan both had alibi, and the footprints and fingerprints in the dormitory were enough to confirm the case. At the time of publication, there were only the deceased Xie Xiangqin and the accuser Zhu Xiaoting in the 703 dormitory, and no trace of a third party was found. Therefore, the defense lawyer's assumption that someone killed Xie Xiangqin and put the blame on Zhu Xiaoting is not true!"

In addition to the photos, the prosecutor showed everyone a written appraisal certificate issued by a professional from the Police Appraisal Section.

With the help of high-tech equipment, there is no possibility of mistakes in the identification of fingerprints and footprints - the identification of traces, this evidence is extremely convincing.

There are only people at the scene of the crime, how can this be explained?

The presiding judge asked, "Do the defendants and defense attorneys accept the evidence?"

Lan Yarong stood up directly and said decisively, "I don't approve."

The audience in the auditorium under the stage looked at each other in dismay.

Lan Yarong calmly walked to Zhu Xiaoting's side and asked slightly, "Zhu Xiaoting, what size shoes do you wear?"

Zhu Xiaoting: "37 yards."

Lan Yarong continued to ask, "Yes, what size shoes does Xie Xiangqin wear?"

Zhu Xiaoting thought for a moment and confirmed, "Size 39, she is taller and has bigger feet."

Lan Yarong glanced at Lin Manluo: "Please ask our assistant to submit the certificate materials related to shoe size."

In the picture released by Lin Manluo, a pair of sandals of the same style appeared. The simple design of the crisscross straps can be worn as sandals with casual clothes, or as daily slippers. Pair of shoes, one pair of red "color" and the other pair of blue "color".

The bottom of the shoe is shown in the second photo, and it can be seen that the texture of the two soles is exactly the same.

Lan Yarong said: "These shoes are of the same style and different colors. The soles are all wavy, and there is no difference. There will be no difference if you leave footprints. Among them, the red "color" sandals belong to Xie Xiangqin, while the blue sandals belong to Xie Xiangqin. The "color" pair..."

Lin Manluo released the next photo.

In the photo, I saw a girl wearing a blue dress and blue sandals, squinting brightly at the camera, with a cute little dimple on her cheek. "She" was just confirmed by the dormitory aunt not long ago, and she has appeared in the girls' dormitory many times - a man disguised as a woman Ji Xiaohui!

Lan Yarong looked at the presiding judge and said lightly, "These shoes belong to Ji Xiaohui."

The audience in the auditorium took a deep breath!

Ji Xiaohui, actually bought a pair of shoes exactly like Xie Xiangqin? !

Lan Yarong said: "Ji Xiaohui is 175cm tall and the shoe size is too small, so he can wear size 39 shoes. He has a pair of sandals of the same style as Xie Xiangqin, and he often wears these shoes when he dresses up as a woman. The dormitory aunt also confirmed just now that Ji Xiaohui has She has appeared in the girls' dormitory many times. Then, the 703 dormitory identified a personal footprint, and the footprints left by the 37-size shoes were undoubtedly Zhu Xiaoting, but the 39-size shoes left footprints, is it just Xie Xiangqin?"

The prosecutor was stunned for a moment, and they were obviously shocked when the defense lawyers found out that the women's clothes were the same style of shoes.

The presiding judge nodded and motioned her to continue.

Lan Yarong turned to look at Lin Manluo and asked her to release the photo of the crime scene just now, saying: "Xie Xiangqin was wearing these sandals when he died. Ji Xiaohui has a pair of the same shoes as hers. If Ji Xiaohui enters the 703 dormitory, then, Only the same footprints will be left on the ground.”

"The floor of the dormitory is paved with stone bricks, which is not like sand or snow. It is impossible to judge the weight by the depth of the footprints. Judging from the traces, the sandals are all 39 yards with wavy footprints. These footprints do not necessarily belong to Xie Xiangqin! Therefore, it is unbelievable that only Xie Xiangqin and Zhu Xiaoting are the only individuals at the crime scene through footprints!"

Senior Sister Lan is usually kind and petite. She doesn't look like a senior sister, but a little junior sister. But at this time, standing in the courtroom, her voice was clear and powerful, her eyes were calm and composed, she changed her body, and instantly turned into a capable and strong woman.

During her articulate debate, the prosecutor's brows became more and more frowning, and the presiding judge also revealed suspicion.

The presiding judge asked: "The prosecution, the defense lawyer submitted evidence related to shoe size, do you agree?"

The prosecutor was silent for a moment, then nodded.

This is the first time that the prosecution has submitted evidence and nodded. Obviously, they also began to doubt this case in their hearts!

This is a good sign.

Lan Yarong gave Yue Xingwen a wink, sat down to drink water, and changed Xingwen to continue.

The prosecution began to submit follow-up evidence: "Skin fragments were found in the nails of Xie Xiangqin of the deceased. After genetic identification, they belonged to Zhu Xiaoting. On the day of the incident, Zhu Xiaoting had scratches on her back, which were consistent with the results of skin tissue identification."

Yue Xing Wen said: "The accuser recognizes the evidence. But please refer the presiding judge to Zhu Xiaoting's testimony. When she entered the 703 dormitory, Xie Xiangqin had already fallen in a pool of blood. She stepped forward to save people. Xie Xiangqin wanted to arrest her out of human instinct to survive. , Xie Xiangqin's nails are very long, and in the process of grasping Zhu Xiaoting, she scratched her back, which is normal."

He looked at the prosecutor calmly, and said calmly: "On the contrary, if Zhu Xiaoting and Xie Xiangqin had a dispute at that time, then Xie Xiangqin was not just scratching Zhu Xiaoting's back. I think, many of you have seen this before. Girls fight, when a girl fights, will she gently scratch her square back with her fingernails?"

After hearing this, everyone suddenly felt that this young lawyer was very reasonable! When a girl fights, who will scratch Fang's back without pain? Shouldn't you just scratch your face, or just tear your hair?

Scratching his back, this is more like Xie Xiangqin trying to grab Fang.

Then they are not fighting!

Yue Xingwen said: "With the length of Xie Xiangqin's nails, if there is a dispute between people and Zhu Xiaoting will stab her to death, Xie Xiangqin can't just sit still and scratch Zhu Xiaoting's back. But it turns out that at the time of the incident, Xie Xiangqin was not fighting. The traces of the fight, Zhu Xiaoting only slightly scratched the back, which does not meet the premise of the prosecution's 'a girl had a conflict, and Zhu Xiaoting stabbed Xie Xiangqin to death'. Therefore, the existence of skin fragments in Xie Xiangqin's nails does not prove that Zhu Xiaoting is the murderer. It is recommended that the court not admit this evidence."

The presiding judge carefully considered for a moment, and said, "The evidence of skin tissue is not convincing enough, so it will not be accepted."

The prosecution evidence has been submitted. The balance began to gradually tilt in the direction of Zhu Xiaoting.

Yue Xingwen continued: "Next, we want to submit some evidence to the court."

Several photos appeared on the big screen.

The first picture is the shopping record of Ji Xiaohui's network id.

Yue Xing Wen Lang said: "Ji Rufeng, this is Ji Xiaohui's id registered on the shopping website, which has been confirmed by his roommate. Searching the shopping records, it is found that in the past six months, in addition to purchasing cos animation clothing, he also bought a set of daily clothes. Women's clothing, women's shoes, wigs. In addition, he has purchased three animation offices."

In the next picture, these three offices appear on Xie Xiangqin's desk.

Yue Xingwen gave a slight meal: "These are worth more than 1,000 yuan, and he gave them all to Xie Xiangqin."

【Not Guilty Defense-20】

Before the trial, Yue Xingwen and Lan Yarong discussed the trial strategy all night.

Yue Xingwen often participates in debates and has flexible ideas. Lan Yarong is a top student in the law school, and the court trial is more professional. After careful discussion, a solution was negotiated——

It is very difficult to directly help Zhu Xiaoting wash, after all, the prosecution has a large number of witnesses and physical evidence. So, how can we convince the presiding judge that Zhu Xiaoting is innocent?

That is to find another murderer in court!

As long as another murder motive, evidence logic, and killing Xie Xiangqin may have more "sex" than Zhu Xiaoting, then Zhu Xiaoting's suspicion will naturally be reduced. Sentenced Zhu Xiaoting to death.

Ji Xiaohui was not present today, and Zhu Xiaoting was the only person to complain today, and it was impossible for the police to catch the murderer on the spot. However, the presiding judge can temporarily acquit Zhu Xiaoting and let the procuratorate re-investigate the case to collect more clues.

This is their eyes.

At this point in the trial, whether it is the crowd or the presiding judge, the attention of the women's clothing boss "Ji Xiaohui" has completely surpassed that of Zhu Xiaoting.

The evidence submitted by the defense cannot directly prove Ji Xiaohui's crime, but every piece of evidence suggests "there are a lot of doubts in this case".

Yue Xingwen looked at the presiding judge and said word by word, "These evidences show that the relationship between Ji Xiaohui and Xie Xiangqin is not simple. Xie Xiangqin is Zou Yijia's girlfriend, and Ji Xiaohui is Zou Yijia's roommate, so he should avoid suspicion."

"However, not only did he have a close relationship with Xie Xiangqin in private, but he also sent her an expensive office, took her to a comic exhibition, and took photos intimately. In addition, Ji Xiaohui disguised himself as a woman and went into and out of the girls' dormitory many times. We have reasonable doubts - Ji Xiaohui and Xie Xiangqin You're cheating on someone behind your back!"

As soon as this conclusion came out, the audience was shocked.

Men disguise themselves as women, sneak into the girls' dormitory, and have an affair with a roommate's girlfriend... This simply refreshes the three views of human beings!

Yue Xingwen went on to say: "The auntie's testimony mentioned that Ji Xiaohui, a man disguised as a woman, stayed in the dormitory many times on weekends and nights and left early in the morning because he was working and studying outside. Of course, he deceived the dormitory. ——On weekends, Xie Xiangqin is often alone in the 703 dormitory!"

Lin Manluo immediately released a lot of screenshots of Moments.

Yue Xingwen began to sort out one by one: "On May 1, the three people in Zou Yijia's dormitory played together, Xie Xiangqin told her boyfriend to go to the movies with her best friend, but the circle of friends showed that Li Huijuan, "Mao" Yue, and Zhu Xiaoting were all Xie Xiangqin was the only one in the 703 dormitory when I got home during the May 1st holiday. After the comic exhibition, Ji Xiaohui most likely entered the girls' dormitory."

"On the weekend of June 6, the circle of friends showed that 'Mao' Yue went to the all-night study room for self-study, Li Huijuan was not in the dormitory, and Zhu Xiaoting took the high-speed train to go out for an interview. Did Ji Xiaohui come to the girls' dormitory this weekend as well?"

"July 4th was also a weekend, Xie Xiangqin was alone in the dormitory, and the three boys in dormitory 105 played games together on that day, and Ji Xiaohui was missing again, because Ji Xiaohui was disguised as a man and entered the girls' dormitory!"

Screenshots from the circle of friends were listed on the big screen. Whenever Xie Xiangqin was alone in the dormitory for weekends, Ji Xiaohui disappeared in the boys' dormitory.

coincide?

How could there be so many coincidences!

Yue Xingwen finally released a screenshot: "On the day of the incident on October 26, Zhu Xiaoting went to the beach for barbecue, not in the dormitory; Li Huijuan went to work in the unit, but not in the dormitory; "Mao" Yue went to the overnight study room to study again, and only stay in dormitory 703 Xie Xiangqin alone."

Yue Xingwen looked at the presiding judge and said sincerely, "So, did Ji Xiaohui come to the girls' dormitory again?"

Everyone: "..."

Although it would be a coincidence to analyze a certain weekend alone, after so many weekends, the analysis was carried out step by step, and finally the conclusion that "Ji Xiaohui came to the girls' dormitory on October 26" was very convincing!

The crowd in the audience widened their eyes, and the presiding judge also sat up straight and listened to Yue Xingwen's narration.

Yue Xingwen continued: "On October 26th, the boys in the 105 dormitory played black games together until 4:00 in the morning, and they could prove to each other that no one left before 4:00. But what about after 4:00? Because of staying up late, They all slept until 11:00 noon by themselves, and of course they can't be sure whether their roommates have left when they are asleep."

"So, in theory, after Ji Xiaohui and his roommates play black games until 4 am, he can sneak into the girls' dormitory while the roommates are asleep, like in the previous weekends. Auntie is sleeping, and he won't be stopped by anyone."

"The key to the 703 dormitory has been lost. Before, when he came to the 703 dormitory, he would make an appointment with Xie Xiangqin. Xie Xiangqin could take the initiative to open it for him. But this time, he was determined to kill Xie Xiangqin, so he put on the cover and opened it by himself with the key. After entering the dormitory, he killed Xie Xiangqin with Zhu Xiaoting's fruit knife."

"Because he was wearing the exact same shoes as Xie Xiangqin, there would be no third person's footprints left at the scene. If he put on the cover again, his fingerprints would not be left on the murder weapon. After the case, he saw Zhu Xiaoting coming from the balcony window, so he framed the blame. , pick up the Xie Xiangqin machine, call Zhu Xiaoting, send WeChat, then turn around and leave."

Yue Xing Wentou looked at the presiding judge: "I said, there is no factual evidence for our reasoning, and the dormitory surveillance is damaged, so it cannot be confirmed whether Ji Xiaohui came to the girls' dormitory on the day of the crime. However, this possibility cannot be completely ruled out. , then my client, Zhu Xiaoting, cannot be hastily convicted!"

Yue Xingwen's voice was powerful and imposing. After he finished, the entire courtroom was silent, and everyone seemed to be in deep thought. With rich experience in debating, Yue Xingwen, how to speak directly to people's hearts.

Judging from the performance of the audience in the auditorium, his speech today was not bad.

Yue Xingwen walked to the defense lawyer's seat and sat down.

After the submission of evidence from both parties was over, the presiding judge said, "The public prosecutor and defense lawyer will make a summary statement."

The prosecutor summed up the current evidence, and the defense, Lan Yarong, summed up all the suspicious points of the case.

The summary statement was that they had already written a draft. During the debate between Xingwen and Fang, Lan Yarong also took the time to add details to the summary statement.

They made their presentations and listed all the doubtful points of the case.

Footprints, murder weapons, skin fragments, the credibility of witnesses, the fact that Zhu Xiaoting's physical condition on the day of the incident, and the fact that she did not understand human anatomy and could not kill with one blow, she heard footsteps when she went upstairs...

There are also all the physical and human evidence related to Ji Xiaohui.

Lan Yarong calmly read the summary statement, and finally said: "To sum up, there are still a lot of doubts in the Xie Xiangqin case, and the evidence that the prosecution has obtained is not enough to determine that the defendant Zhu Xiaoting is the murderer. We believe that justice and law will not Let the murderer be spared, and no innocent citizen will be wronged! We hereby sincerely request the presiding judge to acquit Zhu Xiaoting and re-investigate Xie Xiangqin's death!"

After the conclusion, the presiding judge announced an adjournment for the discussion.

Lan Yarong and Yue Xingwen went to the lounge.

The debate lasted for more than an hour, and the individual's throat was about to smoke and his voice was a little hoarse. Lin Manluo immediately handed them a bottle of water and said, "It's hard work!"

Lan Yarong took the water to moisten her throat, turned to look at Yue Xingwen, and said, "Xingwen, you are doing very well today, you can't tell that he is an amateur at all. His aura is like a professional lawyer who has experienced many battles."

Yue Xingwen "touched" and "touched" his nose: "I also learned from senior sister. Treat this as a debate meeting, and you won't be so nervous."

Lin Manluo looked at the clock on the wall worriedly: "The sentence will be pronounced soon. Senior Sister, do you feel confident?"

Lan Yarong said: "Don't worry. The death penalty is not easy to be sentenced. Zhu Xiaoting did not plead guilty, and there are still so many doubts in the case. From my experience, the presiding judge will acquit Zhu Xiaoting out of prudence."

After a while, the court reopened.

The presiding judge solemnly announced the verdict: "In view of the numerous suspicious points in the Xie Xiangqin case in the 703 dormitory, the prosecutor has provided the existing evidence, and it is not entirely certain that the defendant Zhu Xiaoting has committed the crime of intentional homicide. After careful discussion by the collegial panel, the final judgment—— Zhu Xiaoting is acquitted!"

Hearing this sentence, Zhu Xiaoting finally lost control of her emotions. Tears poured out frantically like turning on the faucet. She clung to the table in the courtroom, her legs were weak, and she could barely stand.

Not guilty!

The court finally gave her justice!

The presiding judge said, "The Xie Xiangqin case will be re-investigated, and the procuratorate should collect more evidence before submitting it to the court for trial."

The prosecution did not object to this result, and nodded.

The presiding judge said: "The trial is over, please exit in an orderly manner!"

Lan Yarong and Yue Xingwen quickly packed their things. Before leaving the court, people came to Zhu Xiaoting. Zhu Xiaoting wiped her tears and said, "Thank you, thank you so much!"

Lan Yarong patted her shoulder slightly: "This is what we should do."

After the course "Death of a Lawyer" ended, Lan Yarong was in a very depressed mood. The black sheep among the lawyers used legal loopholes for personal gain. It was really hateful! The lawyer's death made people feel unsympathetic, so he killed the lawyer's security guard, and finally retaliated by using the fish and the net to break the net, resulting in a tragedy.

But this class gave her a sense of accomplishment.

Zhu Xiaoting was released in court. This is the result of their desperate defense of her as lawyers!

The Xie Xiangqin case was investigated again. They collected a series of evidence and submitted it to the police. The police arrested Ji Xiaohui, a women's clothing tycoon, and Zou Yijia, the boyfriend of the deceased, who started investigation and interrogation.

Soon Zou Yijia recruited. He, he and Xie Xiangqin quarreled violently because he found out that Xie Xiangqin was cheating, but he didn't know who Xie Xiangqin was cheating like. Yu "Mao" Yue saw Zhu Xiaoting holding a knife with his own eyes, he thought it was the murderer who killed Xie Xiangqin. Zhu Xiaoting, in order to preserve the reputation of his girlfriend, he did not have "Xie Xiangqin cheating".

Ji Xiaohui was stubborn at first. The police obtained the video of the entrance of Building No. 6 before the surveillance was not broken. Among the thousands of girls who entered and exited the dormitory building of No. 6, they successfully found Ji Xiaohui disguised as a woman.

Ji Xiaohui was speechless and finally pleaded guilty.

He lost his father since he was a child, and his mother was too busy with work to ignore him. Therefore, he was always lonely in his heart and longed for female "sex" love. Xie Xiangqin is one year older than him, and has a lively personality. He often praises him when playing games, and he has a sweet mouth. He Xie Xiangqin was tempted, approached Fang, and became an underground lover with Fang.

However, not long ago, Xie Xiangqin suddenly mentioned to him that Zou Yijia wanted to take her to see her parents. She didn't want to continue stepping on the boat. She regretted that she was young and didn't do anything, and decided to stop this mistake.

Error is to terminate if you want to terminate? Throw it when you're done playing, what is he? Thinking of leaving his father behind, Ji Xiaohui's mentality gradually became distorted, and he took the opportunity to steal the 703 key and carefully prepared the murder plan.

The case soon became big, and Zhu Xiaoting completely cleared his grievances.

On the day the case was closed, Zhu Xiaoting wanted to invite them to dinner, but Yue Xingwen declined slightly.

Zhu Xiaoting was very tangled: "We defended me, and I have been confiscating my money. I feel very sorry..." She blushed and took out an envelope from her pocket: "This is my salary, although it is a little low, I can pay you as a lawyer. ?"

Lan Yarong couldn't cry: "No, defending is what we should do, we can't collect money."

There is no need to collect money, and they can't take it with them. After the exam, they have to go to the library.

When the picture finally grows up, Zhu Xiaoting will also start her new life.

As a lawyer, the happiest thing is to be able to bring the criminals to justice and make the innocents redressed.

They did it!
