Chapter 168 I Was Tortured to Extract a Confession!
"Son, be careful on the road, take good care of your things, don't lose them, and tell mom when you get to Longcheng..."

Yuxian West Railway Station.

Mother Jiang took Jiang Bai's hand and repeatedly urged.

The ginger-white chick kept nodding like pecking rice.

He'd heard those words every time he left home since college.

Almost no repetitions.

But Jiang Bai never tires of listening to it.

It is also a happy thing to hear the nagging and exhortations of parents.

Originally, Jiang Bai wanted to stay at home for a few more days, but just the night before yesterday, he received a call from the procuratorate.

The investigation and evidence collection of the Hu Kai fraud case has ended.

Now the facts are clear, the evidence is sufficient, and there is no longer any doubt.

The court hearing is naturally on the agenda.

Jiang Bai's "holiday" can only end here, and he will return to Dragon City today.

"Okay, these words every time, my ears are almost calloused."

Father Jiang said beside him.

"I didn't tell you to die." Mother Jiang gave him a white look.

Jiang's father is a "strict wife", he can only curl his lips to express his dissatisfaction, but he didn't say anything.

Mother Jiang continued to pull her son and exhort him.

After a few minutes.

Jiang Bai went through the security check and entered the station.

When I came back, I carried a backpack on my back.

When I left, not only my shoulders were bulging, but my hands were also carrying large and small bags.

Is there food in it?
No.

This is heavy love.

……

That night, Jiang Bai returned to Longcheng's home, reported to his parents that he was safe, took a hot bath, and went to bed early.

Silent all night.

The next day, he got up early.

After breakfast, I sent a message in the prestige group to synchronize the case status.

"@Everyone, today is the day when Hu Kai's fraud case starts, everyone, please wait for my good news."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

soon.

The group became lively.

"Hey, it's finally the day I've been waiting for."

"Hey, have you heard that Hu Kai's family... oh no, the whole family seems to have entered..."

"I've also heard about this, and I can only say that you deserve it! You can file a lawsuit as usual, why go to someone else's house to make trouble, there are a lot of people, who return knives, guns and sticks, if you don't go in, you will go to hell. And I heard that they are making a big fuss in the court, so I don’t know what they are thinking.”

"@姜白, well done brother, make good use of the trial today, we are waiting for your good news."

"Squat the verdict with one hand."

"..."

Looking at the news in the group, Jiang Bai grinned and replied with an OK expression.

Then he went out and went to court.

When you arrive, walk inside as you know the way.

Walk all the way, say hello to acquaintances all the way.

"Hey, Aunt Li, are you here to listen again today?"

"That's right, we're the plaintiff in today's case. It's not a private criminal prosecution, it's a public prosecution case, and I'm the incidental civil plaintiff."

"Hey, Judge Chen, what a coincidence, have you eaten? Have you been sleeping poorly lately? Look at the bags under your eyes and dark circles. You have to take care of your health even if you serve the people, Judge Chen."

Chen Zhonghan glanced at Jiang Bai with "resentment", and said angrily: "Jiang Bai, why do I have bags under my eyes, why do I have dark circles, don't you know?"

There were more than 100 criminal cases filed in Longcheng's automobile industry, and Binjiang District was the hardest-hit area. During the recent period, criminal courts have basically never stopped.

In the past ten days and a half months there was no court session.

Now there are almost every day, and even three cases are tried in one day at the busiest time.

Chen Zhonghan has been working overtime for more than a week.

Continuously spinning, physically and mentally exhausted.

"Cough cough, Judge Chen has worked hard, eat some good supplements and supplement nutrition. Then what, I'll go in first."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Bai quickly stepped up and walked inside.

It is still the familiar Tribunal.

Not long after Jiang Bai came in, the defendant Hu Kai was escorted in by two bailiffs.

He had lost a lot of weight, his shoulders drooped, his face was ugly, and his eyes were gloomy.

Presumably life in the detention center was not so comfortable during this time.

Hu Kai accidentally caught Jiang Bai out of the corner of his eye, and immediately became excited.

"Jiang Bai! You bastard!"

"It's a pity that I treat you as a brother, and you actually hurt me like this!"

"You bastard, I can't finish with you! I can't finish with you!"

"Grass***!"

Jiang Bai said with a blank face: "Hu Kai, why do I feel so ironic when you say the word brother? Do you really think of me as a brother?"

"If you really treat me as a brother, you won't deceive me again and again!"

"In your heart, I'm simply being taken advantage of!"

"To this day, it is entirely your own fault."

Hu Kai shouted with red eyes: "Fucking fart! Didn't I just borrow some money from you? You are so fucking rich, what can you do if you lend me hundreds of thousands? Those hundreds of thousands will not hurt you." If it doesn't itch, can't you be more generous?"

Hearing this, Jiang Bai shook his head.

No matter how much money I have, what does it have to do with you?

I'm not your mother, why are you spending my money so confidently?
Jiang Bai didn't say anything more.

No matter how much you talk to someone like Hu Kai, it's a waste of time.

If he could really realize his mistakes, he wouldn't do those disgusting things.

Hu Kai scratched his neck and wanted to curse again.

But the bailiff would not let him mess around in the trial court, and gave him a stern warning.

Hu Kai could only pant heavily, staring at Jiang Bai viciously.

This kind of look that seems to be eating people is not uncommon for Jiang Bai these days, and he has long been familiar with it.

He completely treats the other party as air.

at this time.

The defender walked in.

It seems that during this period of time, not only Hu Kai was having a bad time, but Barrister Du was also having a bad time.

His face was gloomy, and the stubble had not been cleaned, and he looked a little decadent.

He looked at Hu Kai, then at Jiang Bai, sighed to himself, sat in the defender's seat, and remained silent.

soon.

The hour has come.

Judge Chen Zhonghan walked into the trial court with dark circles under his eyes.

"Boom!"

The gavel fell, and the audience was silent.

Chen Zhonghan glanced at Jiang Bai for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Today, in accordance with the provisions of Article 260 of the Criminal Law, the criminal trial division of the People's Court of Binjiang District, Longcheng City, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, openly heard the defendant Hu Kai's fraud case in accordance with the law. .”

"I, Chen Zhonghan, will serve as the presiding judge and form a collegial panel according to law."

"Now, the court is officially open!"

Then there is the regular program.

The clerk read the court discipline.

Then it is to confirm the identity of the defendant, the defense lawyer, the public prosecutor, the victim and so on.

After everything was over, Chen Zhonghan looked at the plaintiff's seat: "The public prosecutor, please read the indictment."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Tianci stood up and began to read the indictment, stating the reasons for the case.

When I heard that Hu Kai borrowed more than 50 yuan from more than a dozen classmates with various false reasons, and did not repay a penny.

There was a commotion in the auditorium seats.

If you want to talk about serious criminals like murderers, most people will shout "death and execution".

But not too deeply felt.

After all, the joys and sorrows of human beings are not interlinked-Lu Xun really said this sentence.

So most people just shouted a few innocuous slogans from the perspective of bystanders.

But this case was different.

It is closer to life and more "people-friendly".

Most people should have had the experience of borrowing money or being borrowed money, and many people have experienced the embarrassment that it is easy to borrow money and difficult to pay back.

In the society of Xia Kingdom, all kinds of human relationships and sophistication are very complicated.

It is common for relatives and friends to borrow money or something, but after lending the money, ordinary people are really embarrassed to ask the other party for it.

If the other person happens to be thick-skinned.

It's really possible that the money will become a bad debt if it is dragged on.

Borrowing money and not repaying it is not a big crime, but it is disgusting enough.

not to mention.

Hu Kai is not just borrowing money and not repaying it, his nature is much worse.

Fabricated reasons, borrowed from many people, and even tricked girls to help him borrow online loans!
Scum!

Proper scum!
he tui!

"Boom!"

Chen Zhonghan rang the gavel and said solemnly: "Silence! Pay attention to the order of the court!"

Only then did everyone in the auditorium gradually quiet down.

Shen Tianci continued to read the indictment:

"This court believes that the defendant's behavior has violated the provisions of Article 260 of the Criminal Law, which has constituted a crime of fraud, and the amount is extremely huge. Now, we are prosecuting in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law."

"The claim is as follows:"

"One, the criminal defendant Hu Kai was convicted of fraud according to the law, and he was severely punished, sentenced to ten years and six months in prison, and fined 15000 yuan."

"Second, according to the law, the attached civil defendant shall be ordered to compensate the attached civil plaintiff for all losses totaling 509020 yuan."

Speaking of it, this buddy is also a little bit of a fool, the amount of fraud is just over 50, and the amount of 50 corresponds to the "extremely huge amount" in the crime of fraud.

The starting point for sentencing... [-] years in prison.

After the public prosecutor read out the indictment, Judge Chen Zhonghan looked at Hu Kai and asked, "Defendant, are the cause of action and the claims mentioned by the public prosecutor consistent with the copy of the indictment you received?"

"One... unanimous."

Hu Kai nodded slowly, and responded with a shy voice.

"Okay, now you can make a statement." Chen Zhonghan said.

"Gudu!"

Hu Kai swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and said in a hoarse voice: "I was wronged!"

Sure enough, the show began.

Jiang Bai's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the defender next to Hu Kai.

The latter did not respond.

Appears to be indifferent to the behavior of the person involved.

Jiang Bai shook his head secretly, and silently mourned for Hu Kai for three seconds.

Obviously, because of being backstabbed by Hu Kai's parents, Du Yansen no longer wanted to do his best to help Hu Kai defend himself.

Typical work without effort.

He didn't even prepare a statement for Hu Kai, it was completely up to him to play freely.

Hu Kai continued: "I admit to borrowing money, but I don't admit to fraud!"

"They and I are both high school classmates and acquaintances. Isn't it normal for acquaintances to borrow some money? Have you ever borrowed money? Have you ever borrowed money?"

Hu Kai asked the two bailiffs next to him and continued to shout: "And I never said that I would not pay back the money, I just paid it later."

"Why is this a scam!"

"I don't agree!"

"It's obvious that a group of them teamed up to deliberately frame me, and the leader is Jiang Bai!"

Chen Zhonghan frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Since the defendant does not admit to the crime, we are now in the stage of presenting evidence, cross-examination, and court debate. Prosecutor, please present evidence."

"Ok."

Shen Tianci nodded slowly, and began to list the evidence:
"This is the chat record between the defendant and the victim. Each copy has been notarized by the court to ensure its authenticity, and it is accompanied by a transfer record at the corresponding time point, so it can be confirmed that there is a money exchange between the defendant and the victim."

"Moreover, the two parties agreed on a date for repaying the money, but the defendant did not pay back the money as agreed."

"This is the result of the police's investigation into the defendant's reasons for borrowing money. His reasons are all fabricated and fictitious!"

"This is the defendant's consumption record obtained by the police. Every time he borrows money, he will spend a lot of money, buy luxury goods, etc..."

As the prosecutor presented the evidence one after another, Hu Kai's face became more and more ugly.

He couldn't help shouting: "So what? Even if I made up a reason to borrow money, what's the matter? Which law stipulates that borrowing money must use real reasons?"

"You don't care whether I borrowed money to see a doctor or borrowed money to squander, that's my freedom!"

"As for repaying the money... I really want to pay it back, but I don't have it, so I can't steal it, can I? The usury can have a grace period for a few days. Why does it become a crime for me to delay repaying the money?"

"What's the point!"

Hu Kai is righteous and impassioned.

The voice resounded in the courtroom.

To put it bluntly, it's an effort.

Without changing his face, Shen Tianci directly threw out a more powerful piece of evidence - a plea affidavit signed by Hu Kai himself.

Originally, Hu Kai had always refused to plead guilty.

But after seeing the lawyer, he followed the lawyer's advice, truthfully confessed the criminal facts to the public security organ, and signed the plea affidavit.

I want to reduce my sentence for myself through such behavior.

"Defendant, you have already confessed your crime to the police and signed a plea affidavit, but now you retract your confession in court. Why?" Chen Tianci asked loudly.

"That...that's because...because..."

Hu Kai faltered and hawed.

Chen Tianci frowned slightly, and asked, "Are all your statements in the public security organs true?"

"Not true!"

Hu Kai suddenly raised his head and shouted: "I was tortured to extract a confession!"

Whoa!
There was a sudden commotion in the courtroom.

In the defendant's seat, everyone whispered to each other.

Extorting a confession by torture refers to a very bad criminal judicial interrogation method that tortures the body or spirit of the person being interrogated by cruel methods such as corporal punishment or disguised corporal punishment or even mental punishment to obtain his confession.

In ancient costume TV dramas, there are often scenes of "beating into tricks".

When you are promoted to the hall, first ask the servants whether they plead guilty or not, right?Come, thirty big boards are waiting for you...

But in modern society, under the complete and sound legal system of our country, it is almost impossible to extract confessions by torture in judicial practice.

And once it happens, the testimonies obtained from it should be excluded.

Hu Kai is trying to use this method to win opportunities for himself.

Plaintiffs seat.

Jiang Bai's expression couldn't help becoming a little weird.

If not father and son, Hu Kai and his father's show operations are exactly the same, coming down in one continuous line.

It's a pity that this method is too low-level.

Extorting a confession by torture is not what you say it is, it will only make things worse!

"Boom!"

Chen Zhonghan knocked on the gavel, frowned and said, "Silence! Prosecutor, please continue."

Although Hu Kai's behavior was unexpected, as a qualified and experienced prosecutor, Shen Tianci did not panic in the face of such a situation, and calmly said, "Excuse me, how do the police use torture to extract confessions?"

"Fatigue Interrogation!"

Hu Kai said loudly: "They often interrogate in the early morning and late at night! This happens every time. I was interrogated when my mental state was very poor. I was so tired that my consciousness was a little fuzzy and I couldn't concentrate at all. , and there is no way to deal with the police interrogation well.”

Shen Tianci opened a document in front of him and said, "The record shows that the first time you were interrogated was from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] p.m. on X, X."

"The second time I was interrogated was from 45:[-] am to [-]:[-] am on X, X."

"The third time I was interrogated was from [-]:[-]pm to [-]:[-]pm that afternoon."

"Excuse me, which of these three times of interrogation belongs to the early morning or late night you mentioned?"

"This..." Hu Kai was at a loss for words for a moment, his eyes flickered twice, and he shouted, "That's not right!"

Shen Tianci asked: "What's wrong?"

Hu Kai bit the bullet and said: "The record is wrong! The time is wrong!"

Shen Tianci smiled slightly and said, "Defendant, let me remind you that every time you are interrogated, there will be simultaneous audio and video recordings."

"When did you enter the interrogation room, when did you leave, and the specific interrogation process in the interrogation room, there are audio-visual records."

"If there is an objection to the legality of the pre-court statement, the public prosecutor can play these video files in court."

"But the premise is that the defendant wants to file an 'application for exclusion of illegal evidence' to the court. Are you sure you want to apply?"

After finishing speaking, Shen Tianci stared directly at Hu Kai.

The latter's heart skipped a beat, and his face immediately changed.

He didn't expect the public prosecutor to be so well prepared, even the video materials of the interrogation room were prepared.

But actually...

Shen Tianci didn't prepare these things at all.

Although he has rich experience, it is impossible to guess in advance that Hu Kai will have such a showy operation.

Saying so now is just bluffing.

Shen Tianci was too steady, from the surface alone, there was no problem at all.

As if everything was under his control.

So Hu Kai hesitated, lowered his head and whispered: "No, there's no need..."

The corners of Shen Tianci's mouth raised slightly, and he asked, "Okay, then the public prosecutor will ask you again, did the public security organ torture you to extract a confession during your interrogation? Was there any illegal evidence collection?"

"No……"

Hu Kai shook his head slowly.

His little trick is nothing in front of an excellent prosecutor.

Easily exposed.

He fell directly into a disadvantage at the beginning, and Hu Kai was completely overwhelmed by the court debate that followed.

Under Shen Tianci's offensive, they retreated steadily and were completely defeated.

"Lawyer Du! Say something!"

Hu Kai was sweating profusely, and gritted his teeth at Du Yansen who was always silent beside him.

Du Yansen slowly raised his eyelids.

He said lightly: "The defender has no objection."

In fact, Du Yansen originally prepared a whole set of defense ideas.

What the parties have to do here is to actively admit their mistakes, but not to admit to fraud.

Because Du Yansen would attribute the nature of this case to the crime of "illegally absorbing public deposits".

Article 170 of the Criminal Law stipulates that whoever illegally absorbs public deposits or absorbs public deposits in a disguised form and disturbs the financial order shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention, and shall also be fined;
If the amount is huge or there are other serious circumstances, it shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years, and shall also be fined;

If the amount is particularly huge or there are other particularly serious circumstances, the sentence is to be not less than [-] years of fixed-term imprisonment and a fine.

The perpetrator of this crime can be an individual or a unit.

If an individual commits this crime, it needs to be more than 100 million before it will be considered a "huge amount".

The amount of deposits involved in illegally absorbing Hu Kai is only a little over 50 yuan. If the punishment is based on the crime of illegally absorbing public deposits, then he will be sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of less than three years.

This sentence is much lighter than the crime of fraud.

If there is no way to characterize it as a crime of illegally absorbing public deposits, it doesn't matter.

Attorney Du also prepared Plan B.

That is the crime of fund-raising fraud, a crime that is very similar to the crime of fraud in terms of naming.

Article 190 of the Criminal Law stipulates that the crime of fund-raising fraud is the act of using fraudulent means to illegally raise funds for the purpose of illegal possession.

If the amount is relatively large, the offender shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years, and shall also be fined;

If the amount is huge or there are other serious circumstances, the sentence is to be fixed-term imprisonment of not less than seven years or life imprisonment and a fine or confiscation of property.

The sentencing of this crime is heavier than the crime of illegally absorbing public deposits, but it is still lighter than the crime of fraud.

In short, defending from this direction, Hu Kai's sentence can definitely be greatly reduced.

Can……

Lawyer Du is just an ordinary person, not a saint.

He really has no way to "repay grievances with virtue".

Because of Hu Kai's parents' backstabbing, after this case, Attorney Du will be punished by revoking his lawyer's license for one month and paying a fine.

The fine is fine, but the one-month practice license revoked means that he has no income during this one-month period.

Not to mention not earning a dime in this lawsuit, it also suffered heavy losses.

Lawyer Du was really not in the mood to defend well, so he just lay down.

As for Hu Kai, let him fend for himself...

After hearing Du Yansen's words, the judge looked at him in surprise, and then said, "Now, the victim is invited to make a final statement."

Jiang Bai stood up, ignoring Hu Kai's fire-breathing eyes, and slowly said, "On behalf of the dozen or so students who were defrauded of money by the defendant, I implore the collegial panel to impose a heavier sentence on the defendant and recover our losses, thank you."

Very simple statement.

The judge nodded slowly, then looked at the defendant's seat: "The defendant, please make a final statement."

Hu Kai's mentality has completely collapsed, and he quickly shouted: "I am not guilty! I deny it! I am innocent!"

"I'm just borrowing money, there is no fraud at all, you all want to harm me, it's nothing!"

"Isn't it just hundreds of thousands of stinky money, I just pay you back, why the hell do you call me a fraud!"

"..."

Hu Kai's voice was high and sharp.

They almost regarded the trial court as the home of the quarrel.

"Boom!"

Chen Zhonghan struck the gavel to stop his invalid statement, and said in a deep voice, "The court will be adjourned for half an hour, and the verdict will be announced after the resumption of the court session."

After speaking, he left the trial court with the members of the collegial panel.

As for Hu Kai, he was taken to the detention room by the judicial police.

In the torment, half an hour was spent.

soon.

Re-open the court!
