I was watched by the Internet police during the live broadcast of law popularization?

Chapter 280 Before the trial begins, I first ask the presiding judge to recuse himself from this case!

"My personal feeling is that it is better to have a public trial."

Faced with Zhang Yong's father's inquiry, Li Chen also explained to him with a serious and responsible attitude: "You see, you also contacted the media in the early stage, and the incident has become a hot topic. There should always be a conclusion on right and wrong.

If the trial is not open to the public, it is very likely that the verdict will not be made public in the end. This is unfair to you, just like they asked you to find the other party to issue a letter of understanding in the early stage. "

After receiving the case, the trial court contacted Zhang Yong's parents as soon as possible, hoping that they would find the plaintiff's family and come to an understanding. They would also handle the case as appropriate and give their son a three-year suspended sentence.

Li Chen was also confused after learning about it.

This was the first time he had heard of the presiding judge of the trial court taking the initiative to find the suspect's family to seek forgiveness.

But this thing is not difficult to understand.

The matter has become so big that netizens across the country are watching. They are really under a lot of pressure.

However, as a lawyer, Li Chen did not have the time to understand them, and he did not agree with this method.

In the current situation, the defendant is still a suspect and the case has not gone through trial. How can you, as the presiding judge, let the defendant go to the other party to get the explanation book?

To put it bluntly:

The case hasn't gone to trial yet. Why do you think Zhang Yong raped the woman and ask her family to get a letter of understanding?
Zhang Yong's parents also suddenly became enlightened after hearing Li Chen's remarks.

The trial cannot be held in public! !
Not only was it made public, but he also had to apply for an online court hearing. This was in line with everything he had done in the past.

Just like what Lawyer Li said, netizens across the country are watching now. Let them take a look at the court trial and let them decide whether their son is guilty or not guilty.

On April 23, Zhang Yong’s parents also responded to the judge who contacted them and made a specific request to live stream the trial online.

The presiding judge also had a headache when faced with the other party's application reasons. He wanted to refuse but didn't know how to say it.

The reason for the other party's application is really too confusing! !

Since their early actions had a negative impact on the victim's family, only an open online trial can bring justice to each other.

If their son Zhang Yong is indeed a rapist, then they are not afraid of being the rapist's family member.

It is the fault of the father to raise or not to teach.

As Zhang Yong's family members, their son did such a ridiculous thing, and as parents they deserve to be scolded.

But if his son did not rape the other party, then he should give them justice in an honest way.

Victims need a public online trial to get their innocence, and so do they! !

Faced with the victim's family who considers each other so much, what reason should he give to refuse...

There are some difficulties, just like being roasted on a fire rack. No matter what you do, nothing is right.

Convict Zhang Yong of rape?
This is really not in line with justice in the eyes of the public...

But what makes him even more depressed is yet to come...

At the end of April, Li Chen, as the victim's defense lawyer, also submitted his defense statement to the court on time.

On May [-], the trial court held a pre-trial meeting, and Li Chen rushed to Tongda City, Xishan Province on the afternoon of the [-]nd.

Nine o'clock in the morning on the third.

Li Chen from the D County Trial Court of Tongda City held a pre-trial meeting with the prosecutors from the District Prosecutor's Office and the presiding judge.This pretrial conference mainly revolves around evidence.

The prosecutor presented evidence of rape:
The victim's description, the voice recorder provided by the victim, and Zhang Yong's personal confession.

"Defendant's defense lawyer, do you want the prosecutor or the presiding judge to recuse himself?"

"I apply for the presiding judge to recuse himself."

Li Chen's eyes met the judge who asked him. The trial judge couldn't help but frown when he heard this: "You said you applied for the presiding judge to recuse himself?"

"Yes."

"What is the reason for the application?"

"There are two reasons:

First, at the beginning of the case, the presiding judge once approached my client and asked them to go to the victim’s family and produce an explanation book to reduce the criminal law. I don’t quite understand this phenomenon. "

Facing the presiding judge and the prosecutors, Li Chen chose to go all out even though he was alone: ​​"When the case was in the District Prosecutor's Office, I negotiated with our prosecutor and believed that there were still many problems in Zhang Yong's rape case. Doubtful point.

One is the public elevator where Zhang Yong committed the crime.

Zhang Yong and the woman took the elevator together to get to their wedding room. Their behavior was very ambiguous, and there was nothing abnormal about it.

After Zhang Yong committed the crime, the victim also looked natural when he took the elevator downstairs alone, without any specific characteristics of being forced to violate him.

The second point of doubt is the victim’s reporting time and specific requirements.

After the victim was violated, their first reaction was not to call the police. Instead, they chose to find Zhang Yong’s family and make two demands:
One is to pay the remaining 10 yuan in advance.

The second is to add the woman's name in the house book, otherwise he will be reported for rape.

Both situations involve extortion in their own right. "

"In the situation you mentioned, there is simply not enough evidence to prove that the woman made such a request."

Hearing Li Chen talk about himself, the female prosecutor in charge of the prosecution responded unceremoniously.

"Is it true that the Zhang Yong rape case is enough? Isn't it just based on the testimony of both parties to convict?"

Hearing that the female prosecutor was still excusing the woman, Li Chen did not show any mercy to her: "As the prosecutor responsible for the prosecution, you approach the case with colored glasses. This itself does not meet the requirements of a prosecutor. This case I will also respond to the relevant departments of the District Attorney's Office, and now I will talk about the presiding judge's recusal."

We'll talk about your matter after the trial is over, don't be so anxious to jump out yet!

The female public prosecutor in charge of prosecuting the case was confused when she heard this.

What the hell?
Do you still want to report my problem to the relevant departments? ?
Okay…

I am waiting for you!
At this time, she was still a little disdainful, not believing that Li Chen could do anything to her.

“As the presiding judge of the case, is it understandable that the case has already been decided on your side by finding Zhang Yong’s family members before the case has even begun?

The act of having a result without a trial is a serious violation of normal case trial procedures. This is the first.

Secondly, regarding the case being tried in private, I think my client has given a clear answer and specific requirements, and how did the presiding judge, who is presiding over the case, skip Zhang Yong’s parents and force the case? No public trial?

To sum up, I believe that as the presiding judge presiding over this case, I can no longer hear this case fairly and impartially. Therefore, I applied for the presiding judge to recuse himself, which also meets the requirements of the application! "
