Chapter 536 Litigation
In the study, sitting across from Lu Ming is Liu He, the deputy director of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, who is also the leader of the special case team. In addition, there is also Wang Xiaohu, a member of the special case team, who is the head of the Criminal Prosecution Department of the North Montenegro District Prosecutor's Office of the Great Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of China. .

Wang Xiaohu is an old acquaintance of Lu Ming's. Lu Ming's little follower when he was in the East China Sea Prosecutor's Office. At that time, he admired Lu Ming very much.

Today, he is brought in from the East China Sea as an elite talent, and appointed as the head of the criminal prosecution department of the most important district prosecutor's office in the Republic, that is, the North Montenegro Prosecutor's Office.

The Supreme Prosecutor's Office also has a criminal prosecution center, but it mainly focuses on research on criminal prosecution topics and interpretation of relevant laws and regulations.

The Supreme Prosecutor's Office will not directly prosecute the case as the main body, and the specific cases are handled by the regional prosecutors' offices.

For example, in the case of Kanjiazhuang, although the deputy director of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office served as the leader of the joint task force, if the relevant criminal suspects were to be prosecuted, they would be handed over to the Beiheishanbao District Prosecutor's Office, specifically the criminal investigation department of the Beiheishanbao District Prosecutor's Office. Department of Prosecutions.

Reporting to Lu Ming now is mainly done by Wang Xiaohu.

In this case, Wang Xiaohu led a team to investigate and visit almost all the villagers in Kanjiazhuang. He basically believed that it was true that the deceased Commissioner Li Fengshun raped the women in the village and shot the woman’s husband. But what happened between Kan Xuewu and other villagers and Li Fengshun? It's hard to tell the details.

There are many possibilities. Perhaps, as Kan Xuewu and others said, the gun went off during the fight with Li Fengshun and killed Li Fengshun.

However, the possibility of several people grabbing guns and killing people is not ruled out.

That is to say, the opinion of the Litigation Department is that if the investigation continues, a few people can only be released first.

Lu Ming listened without making a sound.

After a while, seeing that Liu He didn't seem to have any objections, Lu Ming was a little surprised and asked him, "You agreed to release him, why didn't you sue them for conspiracy to murder?"

Liu He hesitated for a while, and said, "I thought so too at first, but Minister Xiaohu convinced me. First, if the truth is what they said, what if they just snatched a gun and fired it? Then, it is difficult for them to convict. A good lawyer can also be used as self-defense; secondly, even if they partnered to kill Commissioner Li Fengshun..."

Lu Ming waved his hand, "What commissioner? Although he is dead, his status as an anti-corruption commissioner must be removed, and pensions and the like will naturally be gone."

Liu He nodded slightly, and continued: "The second point is, even if they partnered to murder Li Fengshun, if the whole case is not clear, and if you meet a particularly powerful lawyer, such as..." Coughing, Liu He dared not continue. , but Wang Xiaohu's face over there showed yearning.

Lu Ming understood that Xiaohu must be using himself and Liu He as an example.

Over there, Liu He continued: "If you meet a barrister with a very high level, then there is a high possibility that several of them will be exonerated. I personally think that what Minister Xiaohu said is right. It cannot be because the defense has no lawyers. Or the level of lawyers is not high, and we handle cases sloppily.”

Lu Ming nodded: "Okay, then you go ahead, I'm leaving tomorrow, going to Northern Xinjiang."

……

After Liu He and Wang Xiaohu left, Lu Ming was in a good mood. Although it seemed like an obvious case, the prosecution was tied up. Ordinary people would feel that the prosecution was too aggrieved and it was easy to let the criminal go. Where is the authority of the state organs?What is the efficiency of solving crimes?

But Lu Ming was in a good mood, so he picked up the file and read it.

If the prosecution accused several people of conspiring to kill Li Fengshun, how would he fight him?

In fact, if a jury is set up in Anshan, it will be very difficult to fight, and most of them will be convicted.

If it is in the East China Sea, where the benefit of doubt belongs to the place where the defendant has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it is very likely that several people will be exonerated.

There are some classic cases similar to this. Several people can blame each other for shooting Li Fengshun.

Coupled with the eloquent lawyer, it is very difficult for the jurors to accurately determine who killed Li Fengshun, so it is difficult to reach a consensus that everyone agrees on the guilt, and it is very likely that several people will be declared innocent in the end.

Therefore, in this kind of lawsuit involving many people, it is necessary to try to clarify the incident as much as possible and present it clearly to the jury.

The main thing is to attack the minds of several criminal suspects and disrupt their collusion.

In fact, for this case, if you want to come to a few villagers, how seamless can you make up your confession.

In particular, the more people colluded to confess, and when several people told the story of the case separately, those small details were more prone to mistakes.

With Wang Xiaohu's current interrogation skills, it is easy to break through their psychological defense.

But so far I haven't found any flaws in their confessions. From my own point of view, I actually tend to believe that the few of them really snatched guns and misfired in the chaos.

Of course, if they were prosecuted for partner murder regardless of 21, the jury in Beiheishanbao would definitely convict.

Lu Ming's face gradually became serious. There is no doubt that there is also the problem of juror's inclination in a lawsuit in northern Xinjiang.

After all, ordinary people in northern Xinjiang must regard the Sanyuan Horse Bandits as their own army.

One's own army burned, killed and looted outside, maybe they still felt relieved.

Those atrocities will be whitewashed as acts of war. If you are a lawyer for the Sanyuanma gang, you will fight in this direction.

For example, connecting the resistance behavior of the militia with the massacre of the people.

The defense said that this kind of militia behavior made it difficult for Ma Quanyou's army to distinguish between civilians and soldiers.

Ordinary people in northern Xinjiang will also feel that these are actions of last resort.

In particular, when prosecuting Ma Quanyou's gang, it is impossible to find out which individual soldier committed the atrocities. It is Ma Quanyou and his group of officers who are prosecuting.

Then, for many atrocities, the lawyers of the other side can even prevaricate that they were not ordered by Ma Quanyou and his commanders, but were uncontrollable acts in the war.

Just like the previous life, if the war criminals who invaded their own country were judged by jury, and the nationals of their own country were used as jurors, they would definitely be innocent.

Thinking about it, Lu Ming picked up a pen and paper, and began to sketch. If the Donghai lawyer team in his firm didn't realize this point, this lawsuit would be useless.

Da da da, there was a light knock on the study door, and it was the Kan sisters who came in.

"Master, Mama Gao just came, crying and thanking Master, saying that Xue Wu has been sent back!"

As the elder sister, Kan Shouxi has always been the spokesperson for the two sisters. The two sisters are two years apart, Kan Shouxi is 20 years old, and Kan Shouyi is [-] years old.

It has been less than half a year since she married An Minghan, the thirteenth son of An Laoheng.

The two of them got married relatively late, mainly because the Kan family originally wanted to marry their sisters, and they got engaged to An Minghan when they were very young. An Minghan had just turned 16, and then they got married.

Lu Ming smiled when he heard Kan Shouxi's words: "They have only regained their freedom temporarily, and they still have to cooperate with the investigation. They also said that they are not allowed to leave the area of ​​Kanjiazhuang, right? And you two should know that this has nothing to do with me."

Kan Shouxi nodded lightly: "We also told Madam Gao the same, but she didn't believe it, and I am very grateful to the master."

Lu Ming waved his hand, "Don't discuss this, by the way, your cousin Kan Jiayuan, I think the young man is good, you can ask him if he is interested in working in the Ministry of Education? I can write a letter of recommendation, of course, can I get hired? , It still depends on his talent and learning, and the interview results."

Kan Shouxi and Kan Shouyi looked at each other, there was joy in their beautiful eyes, Kan Shouxi said: "Yes."

Lu Ming smiled again: "It seems that the two of you are working together to write a novel? Let me have a look later."

The Kan sisters were educated in literature, but neither of the sisters ever thought that one day they would write novels. They never thought that they would have this kind of freedom and this kind of time.

"Would you like to watch it now?" Kan Shouxi asked in a low voice.

In fact, for new creators, there is a sense of shame in writing novels for people close to them to read.

Lu Ming didn't expect her to agree so happily, and coughed: "Wait until I come back from Beijiang."

"Okay!" The Kan sisters breathed a sigh of relief.
