The beginning was serious, and the opposite side was scared by me and called the police!

Chapter 284 This is a crazy start!

at the same time.

In the jury box.

The twelve members of the jury also browsed through the evidence one after another, with different expressions.

Many people nodded.

Naturally, he has confidence in the evidence presented by George.

after all……

George also claimed to be a believer and swore an oath before God.

It shouldn't be possible to lie to them.

"The two old men on the other side are probably not good things."

"In these years, everyone has come out, and this kind of quality is too shy to come to our country to travel? Our country does not welcome such people!"

"From the fact that they dare not swear to the Bible, I can see that their words cannot be trusted."

"The evidence should prove that they signed it voluntarily, right? The notarization of handwriting identification has come out."

"..."

The jury members lowered their voices.

We discussed in a low voice.

Combined with the judges and the legal knowledge they said just now...

Although they don't understand much, their intuition tells them that they have all the evidence they should have.

No matter how you look at it, it is Zhang Qingyuan and Feng Cuihua's problem.

"quiet!"

in court.

The old judge Anthony sounded the gavel at this moment, and reiterated the discipline with a straight face.

Subsequently.

Looking at Qin Mu and others who were on the defendant's side, they asked, "Just now the plaintiff has submitted evidence to support its claim, now it's up to you to present relevant evidence to prove your claim."

Qin Mu listened.

Nodding his head, he stood up immediately.

The trial of the case law system is quite similar to the domestic statute law system, and there is also a link of showing evidence.

only……

Statutory law system calls it the link of proof and cross-examination.

And there is no evidence from abroad.

In a civil lawsuit, each party will present evidence to prove the claim, restore the facts, and the judge and jury will decide the rest.

"The evidence mentioned by the opposing lawyer just now..."

He looked up and glanced at George.

He said lightly: "Logically, it's obviously a confusion of concepts and deliberate gossip."

"First of all, our claim is that they were deceiving, which made us voluntarily sign the agreement. Even if the handwriting proves that it was signed by us, it does not prove that the deception does not exist."

"Secondly, the content of the other party's evidence collected information from our country's news media, took it out of context, and tried to slander the character of our party."

Followed by.

He told the whole story of the incident in Jincheng.

At first.

Lao Zhang encountered phone scams, so he used the name of the other party to show off a wave of ventriloquist.

It's not what they said out of context, Lao Zhang is a person who does all kinds of evil.

"Third, here is our evidence, the testimonies collected from the elders of the other tour groups..."

in front of people.

Qin Mu also threw out a piece of evidence, which was a notarized testimony.

These old people can be summoned to the scene at any time to prove the authenticity of these testimonies.

on the testimony.

All these old people participated in helping to sue the black tour group for its various money-losing behaviors.

In order to get back the money I paid...

These old people have agreed to cooperate with them and are willing to testify in court.

"You said before, why only our client is unwilling to pay, but in fact, all the elderly are unwilling to pay!"

Qin Mu looked at George, and refuted again: "Whether it is logical or legal, it is enough to see that there is something strange in it!"

however……

He retorted.

George didn't move at all, but sneered instead: "The evidence you mentioned is very likely that you and those old people joined forces, and after colluding, you want to go back on your donation."

"After all, you are from the same country, and you can communicate better. We have seen a lot of things in collusion."

for this.

He seemed to have expected it.

Turning around and looking at the judge and the jurors behind him, he continued, "This is a court, and we must pay attention to evidence in everything. How credible is the evidence that refuses to swear? What's more, there is a relationship of interest between you. Their Testimony is not enough to be believed."

talking.

He refuted the testimony of these old people one by one in terms of the reasonableness and legality of the evidence.

This case involved civil and economic disputes.

The rest of the old people are essentially the same as Zhang Qingyuan and Feng Cuihua, they all signed, and they have the same plot.

To testify in court under these conditions...

According to the laws of their country, it is not allowed.

The two sides have been tit-for-tat in this regard and have continued to initiate litigation.

A full half an hour.

"Boom-"

in court.

Seeing this, the old judge Anthony slammed the gavel: "According to the Civil Procedure Law, the validity of this evidence is pending inspection, and the defendant is requested to provide additional evidence."

He glanced at Qin Mu.

announced his judgment.

in fact.

From the very beginning of this case, he was a supporter of Xu Liming and George.

Whether in terms of evidence or law, Xu Liming's side has won his approval.

Although Qin Mu and others pointed out Xu Liming's deceitful behavior, they have never presented any favorable evidence.

For now.

Xu Liming's side is very likely to have this behavior, but in the absence of evidence, he can only acquiesce that this behavior does not exist.

Courtrooms are places where evidence is important.

And below the court.

Seeing this scene, the jury also whispered and discussed.

"What's the situation? Why did the whole tour group say they were cheated? This tour group really sold mineral water at a sky-high price?"

"Looking at the faces of the defendants, it feels like they have been cheated."

"If the story is true, then this tour group is a bit dark, if the story is false...then these defendants are too shameless."

"They can't produce any decent evidence. We can't believe them if they say a word, right?"

"The other old people in the tour group really have no brains. They donated money and want to go back? God will not forgive them."

"..."

They just witnessed it all.

I saw the evidence presented by Qin Mu and the fierce confrontation between the two sides.

George argued that the other party's evidence was invalid.

Qin Mu used this to express the attitude of the rest of the old people in their tour group.

It shakes them up a little bit, but not by much.

All of them are adults, and it is impossible to be easily swayed by a word.

Plaintiffs.

Seeing this scene, Xu Liming couldn't help showing a satisfied smile.

The stone hanging in my heart was also put down.

Just now.

Qin Mu's counterattack startled him.

But George is not vegetarian either.

blocked this wave.

The judge also refuted the validity of his evidence.

"It should be stable."

He glanced at George next to him, and said something in his heart.

"Mr. Qin, this..."

And on the defendant's bar.

Chen Tiankuo looked at Qin Mu nervously. The confrontation just now seemed intense, but in fact they were at a disadvantage.

Obvious.

Neither the judge nor the jury was on their side.

If this continues, it will be sooner or later to lose.

He really didn't see it...

This is not a big advantage match.

"no problem."

Qin Mu still looked calm and gave him a reassuring smile.

Subsequently.

I saw Qin Mu throw out another piece of evidence from the briefcase beside him.

submitted to the clerk.

In front of all parties in the court, he said loudly: "Here is the criminal record certificate we applied for from the local law enforcement agency."

"Not long ago, a staff member of the Sunset Red Tour Group took advantage of his position to embezzle the donations he had collected. He has confessed to the fact that the relevant authorities are investigating the whereabouts of the donation amount!"

The voice just fell.

Throughout the court, the expressions of all parties changed.

The first to bear the brunt was Xu Liming in the plaintiff's seat.

He frowned.

Staring at Qin Mu closely, his face was full of puzzlement.

I don't understand why Qin Mu suddenly mentioned this, and even secretly obtained a criminal record certificate from the local law enforcement agency.

Intuition tells him...

Qin Mu's action will definitely not be aimless, and things may be going badly.

"These are two cases. His evidence...is useless evidence and cannot pose a threat."

aside.

The corner of George's mouth twitched on the lawyer's desk, and he casually comforted Xu Liming.

By comparison.

His reaction was more calm, without the slightest worry at all.

even……

Even if he doesn't need to refute, the judge will refute Qin Mu based on this irrelevant evidence.

"Boom-"

as predicted.

in court.

Seeing this, the old judge Anthony rang the gavel.

He frowned and said, "Please ask the defendant's lawyer to list the evidence according to the procedure. This evidence has nothing to do with this case and cannot support your point of view. Please present the evidence again."

as a judge.

He was also a little uncomfortable by Qin Mu's frizzy behavior.

This kind of evidence is clearly evidence of another unrelated case.

And this case discusses...

It is whether the two parties have voluntarily signed a donation agreement.

There is no necessary connection with Zhao Wan's embezzlement of those donations.

And the defendant side.

Listening to the judge's reprimand, Chen Tiankuo also blushed a little.

Looking at Qin Mu, he said cautiously, "Did you... take the wrong evidence?"

to be frank.

This kind of obvious low-level mistake, he did not believe that Qin Mu could make it.

In his opinion.

Only those trainee lawyers who haven't fought a few lawsuits can't understand the connection between the cases.

This is obviously two cases.

Even if there is a connection, there is no necessary connection or causal connection.

There is no supporting effect on the evidence.

Although……

Qin Mu seems to be really a trainee lawyer.

But Qin Mu turned his head and smiled at him.

Then he stood upright and said to the judge: "Sorry, the evidence I presented just now is indeed irrelevant to this case, but..."

talking.

He changed his words.

Looking at the jury behind, he said seriously: "Although I don't believe in religion, I also know that the glory of God cannot be profaned."

"These donations are for the church, and everything will be used for God, to serve the believers, so that everyone's soul can be promoted to heaven after death."

"But they..."

"It is an unforgivable crime to dare to do anything with this money, embezzle and steal its funds!"

"I just want everyone to know how dirty the inside of this tour group is, not as bright as it looks on the surface!"

Done.

He retreated silently and sat in his seat.

No more unnecessary words.

There was enough room for the imagination of the 12 jurors.

Hidden strength and name.

this moment.

He only felt that he was very much like the legendary magic stick, but he used the "faith" of these jurors.

That's right.

It is faith.

When screening jury members before, he deliberately screened the information of each juror.

Make sure that these jurors meet several conditions.

For example, poverty, or average living conditions.

and devout faith.

Donate multiple times.

Rich people don't have much touch on this kind of thing.

Instead, these poor people...

Absolutely pissed off after hearing that the money donated to God was swallowed up!
The more devout faith, the more fanatical!

They don't allow themselves to be treated like gods and be played like this.

"I buy it! This tour group actually took away all the money donated under the guise of donating money?"

"There are criminal records, and that person has pleaded guilty. Does this mean that this matter is true?"

"Great and Almighty God, please forgive the ignorance of the world and forgive the mistakes of these sinners."

"This tour group is not a good thing at first glance, even dare to move the money dedicated to God?"

"..."

a time.

The entire jury was thoroughly fried.

The eyes of the 12 people were full of anger, and they stared at Xu Liming and George in the plaintiff's seat.

If looks could kill...

They wished they could send them to God on the spot.

"I usually live frugally, live like a nun, and donate all the money to the church. Do they have the conscience to do something with this money?"

"I donate once a month. Has the money been embezzled by these demons? Oh Maikar, has God not received my confession and intention?"

"This group of scum, if I fail to go to heaven after I die, I will never let them go!"

"I said why the defendants refused to give the money. It turned out that the money was embezzled by these people. If it were me, I wouldn't give it!"

"..."

The 12 people became more and more angry.

Everyone's emotions are on the verge of collapse.

They worked hard, thrifty and assiduously, just to save their souls.

Who would have thought...

The money donated by myself is very likely to be embezzled by some people and become middlemen.

Blocked their way to repent to God.

from their perspective.

This is unforgivable!
This is more hateful than all the sins in the world!
in court.

Seeing this scene, the bailiff's expression changed drastically.

They all stepped forward and surrounded the jury.

I'm afraid that these "judges" will do something irrational.

"Silence! Silence! Silence!"

And the front.

Anthony's face darkened accordingly, and he kept ringing the gavel to maintain order in the courtroom.

This sudden scene...

Completely exceeded his expectations.

Before.

It's not that he hasn't tried similar cases, but the jurors are all reasonable.

Absolutely not like this time, he was so angry that he wished he could tear Xu Liming and George apart.

thought here.

He couldn't help but take a deep look at Qin Mu, all this was triggered after Qin Mu's speech.

but……

He couldn't blame Qin Mu.

At best, Qin Mu just listed an irrelevant piece of evidence, but this piece of evidence is true, and the facts confirm that it happened.

"This... what the hell is going on?"

And in the dock.

Xu Liming only felt countless killing intent coming from his back, and his scalp tingled for a while.

I dare not look back.

He could only swallow continuously, and looked at George for help.

He doesn't quite understand it now.

Why……

All of a sudden the good jury, who had backed them before, is now there cursing them!

He also cursed that their souls could not be promoted to heaven after death, but could only go to hell.

"I... I don't know what medicine they took wrongly."

And George's complexion was pale, and he also lost his sense of proportion.

There is no longer the high-spiritedness when he was in control of the situation before.

The case...

It is only in the proof stage, and has not yet entered the defense stage.

He inexplicably lost control of the jury.

No.

To be precise, the entire jury suddenly glared at them, wanting to kill them.

The original advantageous situation is now even more gone!
at the same time.

in the dock.

Zhang Qingyuan and Feng Cuihua, who didn't understand foreign languages, looked at each other, and looked blankly at the jurors not far away.

Can't help but look at Chen Tiankuo: "What happened just now? Why are these jurors still scolding? They can't be scolding us, can they?"

He didn't understand what everyone said just now.

Still don't know why.

only……

From his perspective, after Qin Mu spoke.

The jurors began to curse.

His eyes were full of anger.

It startled him.

Almost thought it was Qin Mu's speech that aroused public anger, and these people wanted to attack them.

But after looking carefully...

Only to find that although the twelve jurors were cursing, they were always facing Xu Liming and George.

It seems that they are not the ones scolding.

And on the bar.

Chen Tiankuo opened his mouth, but he didn't close it for a long time.

Shock was written all over his face.

There was no time to answer Zhang Qingyuan's question at all.

Now he...

It seemed calm, but deep inside, there was a turbulent sea.

Can't be calm.

Qin Mu's words just now seemed to have some kind of magical power, which immediately ignited these jurors.

making these jurors...

All the contradictions were shifted to Xu Liming and George.

original.

The twelve jurors who had been pointing at them all ignored them now.

The focus of the conflict was on the plaintiff's seat.

They are all giving various "kind greetings" to Xu Liming and the tour group.

It seems that there is a sworn enemy.

"Could it be..."

His eyes flickered for a moment, and he quickly thought of the previous scene of Qin Mu selecting jurors.

These jurors...

It is after the confirmation of both parties that they become official jurors.

obviously.

Inseparable from Qin Mu, these jurors with religious beliefs were deliberately screened out.

only……

He has participated in many lawsuits, and he has also seen jurors who have religious beliefs.

I have encountered many similar cases.

I haven't seen those jurors doing such outrageous things either.

There was a lot of noise in the court.

The judge and the bailiff kept yelling, but they couldn't calm the group down.

"These people... have a lot in common."

Exactly at this time.

Qin Mu, who was on the lawyer's seat, looked at him and explained with a smile: "In addition to religious belief, there are also low education levels, unsatisfactory family and career, bad temper, and conflicts with others... "

at this point.

He didn't hide any more, and told what he had left behind.

He screened these jurors many times.

Considering all aspects, these twelve people were determined.

On the other hand, George...

Seems only interested in whether they are religious or not.

Didn't notice what they have in common.

There are these commonalities.

When these people know that someone dares to embezzle "God"'s money, they will definitely not be able to restrain themselves.

This is also a method he learned from reading some psychology books during this period of time.

"So that's how it is..."

After hearing this, Chen Tiankuo suddenly realized.

Gradually understood.

Looking at Qin Mu's eyes...

It is no longer as casual as before, but with a bit of caution and fear.

Qin Mu's method...

It's terrifying.

It's simply impossible to guard against.

He was alone, watching Qin Mu screen the jurors the whole time, but he didn't notice the details.

The opposing lawyer is even less likely to find out.

No wonder before the trial, Qin Mu said that this case is a match with a big advantage.

Where is this big advantage?This is obviously the beginning of Tianhu!

It's hard to lose!

Now the twelve jurors wanted to kill the people in the tour group, and they lost their minds a little under the fanaticism.

He even doubted...

If the lawsuit continues, the 12-member jury will make Xu Liming's verdict!
This is no joke.

Actually.

Under the jury system, there have been similar outrageous verdicts.

"Boom-"

in court.

The old judge Anthony continued to maintain order in court, which took a full 10 minutes.

Only then did the situation stabilize.

The twelve jurors were constantly berated and asked to maintain order.

"Now, the trial continues."

Seeing that the court had returned to tranquility, Anthony wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The trial was re-declared to begin.

And on the plaintiff's side.

After 10 minutes of calmness, George gradually came back to his senses.

Found the direction.

I took the initiative to stand up and said earnestly: "Dear judge, all jurors, here, I apologize to everyone for the behavior of the employees of our party's company due to personal evil thoughts and improper intentions."

He first looked at the twelve jurors and apologized.

However, the 12 people responded with sneers and remained unmoved.

"What I want to say is that today we are discussing the case of Zhang Qingyuan and Feng Cuihua's default in donations, not the case of corruption and donations."

He took a deep breath, and continued: "Although Zhao Wan was greedy for donations, he is already being investigated by the local law enforcement agency and will definitely be punished as he should."

"And Zhang Qingyuan and Feng Cuihua refused to donate after donating, which is obviously a blasphemy against the Lord and the spirit of the contract!"

Looking at the twelve jurors.

He tried his best to shift the focus of the conflict to Zhang Qingyuan and Feng Cuihua.

Only in this way.

In order to save the situation.

But he underestimated the fanaticism of the twelve jurors he personally identified.

They were not moved to the rhythm at all, but continued to stare at him coldly.

It seems to want to see what kind of sophistry he can make.

This group of fanatical religious fans...

The impression of them has completely gone to the other extreme.

Totally unreasonable.

No matter what he said, there was an expression of disbelief and disdain.

It made him feel aggrieved with powerlessness.
