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

Chapter 32 Tendency
"But fortunately, under our country's judicial system, even if the first instance is inappropriate, there is still the possibility of another relief. This provides us with the possibility of the second instance today."

"Fortunately, Wen Xuan's parents did not give up and insisted on filing an appeal, which is why today's court hearing exists."

After a little throwing the blame, Ren Zhen changed the topic to other aspects.

After all, under the circumstances of Wen Xuan's guilty plea and the inertia of his thinking when handling the case, the lawyer in the first trial actually did a relatively good job.

After listening to Ren Zhen's explanation, all the reporters nodded.

Although the report should have hot topics, it should still stick to a positive and uplifting theme.

Ren Zhen's last two sentences covered up the mistakes in the first trial with an understatement.

The murderer's parents persisted in appealing, and eventually their daughter was acquitted.

This seems to be a good selling point too?

Some reporters have already begun to think about how to write reports after returning.

"Of course, fortunately, Wen Xuan's parents found a very professional lawyer."

Just when everyone thought Ren Zhen's answer was over, Ren Zhen changed the topic and showed a standard professional smile:

"The role of this lawyer in this case cannot be underestimated! Whether he took huge risks to collect evidence in person or argued hard in court, it provided a solid and powerful foundation for the change of verdict in Wen Xuan's case!"

Reporters: ? ? ? ?

Although everyone knows that what you said is the truth, isn't it too immodest for you to say it yourself?
"If you have any needs in this regard, you can come to Hengyuan Law Firm to litigate a lawsuit. We are professionals!"

After a fair round of advertising, Ren Zhen patted his butt and left.

A group of somewhat confused reporters remained.

He was there just now.
Advertising?
Is this how our cameras are used?

Should I pay the advertising fee?

Leaving the reporter on the spot, Zhang Kaishan had already gone to nowhere, and Ren Zhen was happy to be at ease.

When he walked to the roadside and took a taxi, a pair of leather shoes suddenly stopped in front of him.

"you are?"

Ren Zhen was a little confused.

I don’t seem to recognize the Mediterranean man in front of me?

"I was in the gallery today and thought Lawyer Ren was very powerful."

Mediterranean stretched out his hand towards Ren Zhen: "My name is Chen Guangming, I am a teacher at Huaqing University of Political Science and Law. I am very interested in some of the views you raised during the trial and would like to have an in-depth exchange with you."

Teacher at Huaqing University of Political Science and Law?

Ren Zhen was stunned for a moment.

Huaqing University of Political Science and Law can be said to be the dream school for all law students in China. Being able to work there is not a simple role.

Chen Guangming saw Ren Zhen stunned, thinking that he was shocked by his name, and couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Although he is not very old, he is already a well-known scholar in the field of domestic law.

Many legal textbooks have traces of his participation in the compilation.

As everyone knows, although Ren Zhen knows about Huaqing University of Political Science and Law, as an outsider from another world, he really has no special feelings about the name Chen Guangming.

"If Lawyer Ren is willing, we can."

Chen Guangming was just about to invite Ren Zhen to sit in his office, but he saw Ren Zhen waving: "Master, here!"

A car turned on its turn signal and drove over.

"Mr. Chen, right? I still have more than half an hour to go on the high-speed train. It's a bit too late. Let's talk next time."

Ren Zhen opened the car door, thrust a business card into Chen Guangming's hand, and made a phone call gesture.

"Call me if you need anything!"

Looking at the business card in his hand, Chen Guangming couldn't laugh or cry.

The opportunity to talk to me is so rare, why don't you take the high-speed train instead?

As everyone knows, for Ren Zhen, who is about to get out of trouble, he can save a few dollars by changing his contract.

After getting on the high-speed train for the return trip, Ren Zhen leaned on the seat and slowly relaxed his body.

He let out a long breath.I rushed here from H City early in the morning and I haven't had any rest until now. My body has already started to feel tired.

Even more so spiritually.

Since taking over this case, Ren Zhen's mind has been running at high speed.

The various possible assumptions and inferences in the early stage, the hesitation and thinking after determining the direction of defense, including the retrieval and acquisition of those recordings and surveillance, all consumed him a huge amount of time and energy.

And today in court, there were several conflicts with the prosecutor's views. It seemed that Ren Zhen had the upper hand, but his pressure was actually no less than Huang Jing's.

In addition, this case involves many special circumstances, and the conventions and standards in judicial practice are extremely unfavorable to the defense.

Under these conditions, it took Ren Zhen a lot of effort to make the trial go in the direction he expected.

Fortunately, the results are still satisfactory.

Turning to look out the window, Ren Zhen's shadow was reflected on the glass.

Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar face, Ren Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After changing my identity and reliving my life, I still can't get rid of my habit of working hard as soon as I handle a case.

To put it mildly, he was serious, but to put it badly, more than one person had actually said that he was too serious.

Just like today's case, the defense direction of marital rape was a bold attempt he made after long-term consideration.

Once your idea fails to be realized, the second trial can basically be declared a failure.

But he ultimately chose this defense strategy that seemed almost impossible to succeed in the eyes of others.

Nothing but because Ren Zhen believes that innocent people should not be punished!

This was Ren Zhen’s original intention when he chose the path of law.

It was precisely by implementing this idea from beginning to end that Ren Zhen carved a niche in the criminal prosecution world in his previous life.

What if we change the world?

Some things are what they should be.

But thinking about it now, Ren Zhen found that the reason why the verdict of this case was changed had a lot to do with luck.

Those surveillance videos are not hard to find.

But for that very crucial recording, Ren Zhen also went to the mahjong parlor for more than a week with the idea of ​​trying his luck.

Although Zhang Wenhai and the gambling dogs gambled there, most of the time, it was still a relatively serious mahjong parlor.

When we first went there, others were a little curious about this strange young man.

After all, at his age, he doesn't look like he would come to a mahjong parlor.

What's more, his mahjong playing is really bad.

By the time Ren Zhen got the recording by chance and left the mahjong parlor, few of the old men and women were willing to play with Ren Zhen.

I was still a novice when I first started, but within a few days I had become an expert.

Nine out of ten of them are Ren Zhenhu.

Although the price of a hand is only five or ten yuan, but I can’t bear to lose it!

In addition to the luck involved in getting that recording, the trial court in this case is also very important.

Those who can serve as judges in the High Court of Province C are all experienced.

Moreover, the second instance judgment is the final judgment. When disputes or new opinions arise, the judges will treat it more cautiously.

If it were placed in the Intermediate People's Court, it's hard to say whether it would dare to make a verdict outside the inherent standards of marital rape.

But what a coincidence, this is a provincial high court.

When there are obvious conflicts in the case, their thinking and decisions will be relatively bolder.

After all, unless something unexpected happens, most cases will end in the High Court.

If even the judges of the High Court dare not innovate, and some regulations are gradually out of step with the times, who can change them?
Thinking of this, Ren Zhen suddenly realized.

The thinking of Zhang Lixia and other three judges in this case may also represent a trend.

Maybe the issues related to marital rape will undergo some changes because of Wen Xuan's case.
