If you were asked to file a lawsuit, how come you were not found guilty?

Chapter 131 Two "Shocking Cases"

The basic situation of the case is over here, but Ren Zhen knows that the most difficult part is definitely not the case itself.

What happened next was that the Hu family and his wife were running around, and Yan Feng was following them to help.

Yan Feng was mainly talking, with Zhao Yanhong adding a few words from time to time.

18 years ago, on the evening of April 4, at about 9:21, Hu Jitu found a female body in the women's toilet at the entrance of the cigarette factory. Hu Jitu went to the security box not far away to report the crime and was taken directly to the police station.

At 4 a.m. on April 10, Zhao Yanhong and his wife were informed that their son had pleaded guilty and could not see him.

On April 4, City E's Evening News published a full-page newsletter: "Detection of the "Four-Nine" Female Corpse Case", which described in detail the investigation process of the case. A local deputy director cleverly discovered the "rape and murderer" "Hu Jitu's lies, and through overnight interrogation, Hu Jitu's confession was obtained, and the "shattering case" was solved within 13 hours.

On May 5, the E City Intermediate People's Court held a hearing on the case. Hujitu retracted his confession in court and denied all of his confession during the investigation stage. However, his retraction was not recognized by the prosecutor and the judge.

During the trial, Hu Jitu's defense lawyer at the time gave a guilty plea. He said that Hu Jitu was "young" and "a first offender" and asked the court to give him a lighter sentence.

During the court hearing that day, the prosecutor also submitted an identification result of blood residues. This blood sample was extracted by the police from the cracks of Hu Jitu's fingers. The results showed: "The blood in the cracks of Hu Jitu's fingernails has the same blood type as the deceased."

The trial lasted for more than an hour. The collegial panel made a judgment in court and found Hujitu guilty of the crime and sentenced him to death immediately.

Hujitu appealed in court.

On May 5, the local high court rejected Hujitu’s appeal.

At this point, the matter is a foregone conclusion.

"This case is really..."

Ren Zhen no longer knew what to say.

Although I haven't read the relevant materials about the case, just listening to the descriptions of Zhao Yanhong and Yan Feng, there are already too many problems in it.

In a rape and murder case, the final sentence was immediate death, but the trial ended in more than an hour?

One hour is not enough for cross-examination, right?

And this appeal was dismissed too quickly.

However, considering that Hu Jitu's defense lawyer defended the crime as a minor, and that neither the prosecutor nor the judge recognized Hu Jitu's retraction, it was completely normal to dismiss the prosecution.

"The appeal was rejected, and Hu Jitu handed over another case?"

Ren Zhen finally started to ask questions.

If nothing else, Hu Jitu will become a very young boy again this year.

However, his execution has not been carried out for a long time, which shows that another case he explained is also very important and has not been solved for a long time.

"Yes, the day after the appeal was dismissed, Jitu confessed that he had killed someone in another place, and also told some details."

Yan Feng nodded: "But I don't know the specifics. I just know that his death sentence has been kept there, and it seems that the law enforcement agencies have been investigating the case he confessed.

But it wasn't until three months ago that the real culprit in that case was caught and Jitu's lie was exposed. "

Is that okay?

Chang Jiahang was already stunned.

When he just heard that Hu Jitu confessed another murder case and told the details, he was still thinking, how did Hu Jitu know about this case?
Did he really kill the person?
In that case, could it be that he was actually responsible for the case of the women's toilet in the cigarette factory?
But Yan Feng soon talked about the real murderer being caught, and he was immediately fascinated by it.

"He didn't do it. How did he know those details?"

Chang Jiahang felt that his question was reasonable and he would not be glared at by Ren Lu again, right?

Taking a sneak peek, Ren Zhen did not glare at him, but was waiting for Yan Feng's answer, obviously having doubts about this question. "We don't know this either."

Yan Feng shook his head, "We have never seen Jitu since the first trial, and we have no chance to ask him this question."

In general criminal cases, from the beginning of the investigation stage until the trial, family members are not allowed to meet with the suspect. Only the defense lawyer has the right to meet.

Even after the trial is over, only after the verdict takes effect and the suspect begins serving his sentence can the family members see the criminal within the specified time.

Although Hu Jitu's sentence has taken effect, it has not yet been implemented. In addition, since he has handed over such a major case, it is naturally impossible to allow them to meet again.

"I will ask him this question for you when the time comes."

Ren Zhen put away his notebook.

"Ren Lu, are you willing to take this case?"

Jiang Xinyue hadn't spoken much, so she was a little surprised when she heard Ren Zhen's words.

"Didn't you bring them here just to let me do this case?"

Ren Zhen shook his head: "And they must have been looking for lawyers. I guess they are not willing to accept it, right? Otherwise, we reporters wouldn't be found."

Pfft!
Without warning, Zhao Yanhong slid from the chair and knelt directly in front of the desk.

"What is this for?"

Everyone was startled, Ren Zhen quickly came over from the other side of the table, and several people helped Zhao Yanhong up.

"Lawyer Ren, to tell you the truth, we have hired countless lawyers over the past 18 years."

Zhao Yanhong had a blank face and no expression since she entered the door, but at this time, tears were streaming down her face:
“At first, those lawyers were willing to give it a try and followed us to find the relevant departments. After being rejected several times, they all found excuses and ran away.

In the past few years, when lawyers heard about a case like this, they immediately said they couldn't do it, and even advised us to give up immediately.

After knowing that the case he told us about had been solved, our whole family was trying to find a solution, but we ran into obstacles everywhere, and no one wanted to take care of it.

There was really nothing we could do, so Xiaofeng thought that we could try asking the TV station for help.

Unexpectedly, not only did we find a good reporter who was willing to report on my son, but he also found us a good lawyer.

I. I really don’t know how to thank you.”

As he spoke, Zhao Yanhong started to slide down again.

After finally dragging her back to the chair, Jiang Xinyue comforted her: "Auntie, don't worry, our station has promised to report on this matter, and we will never give up halfway.

There is also this lawyer Ren. I first met him because he saved an innocent girl. That girl was also sentenced to death at the beginning! "

Zhao Yanhong's eyes brightened: "Really? Can that lawyer also save my son?"

Repeated encounters in the past 18 years have already made this rural woman despair. When Jiang Xinyue said this, a slight glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.

"I don't dare to promise you this."

Ren Zhen smiled bitterly and glared at this enthusiastic young reporter, "You will really take the job for me."

"Just do your best."

It took ten hours to solve the case, more than an hour of court hearing, and the death penalty that had not been executed for 18 years.

Can any lawyer really resist taking a case like this?
Ren Zhen couldn't wait any longer.
