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

Chapter 87 Progress Bar

"Can't get married?"

Chang Jiahang asked subconsciously.

"You kid, others are watching the court trial just to watch the fun, so you are also joining in the fun, right?"

Ren Zhen glared at him angrily: "As a trainee lawyer, you cannot participate in the trial with the mentality of a passerby.

Although you did not speak directly during the trial, it does not mean that you do not need to use your brain. "

Chang Jiahang shrank his head and did not dare to speak anymore.

"Before the trial, you were basically involved in preparing all the materials. What facts each piece of evidence is used to prove, how powerful it is, what other evidence it is related to, and under what circumstances it can be completed. Chain of evidence, you should have an estimate in mind."

Although his tone was a bit harsh, Ren Zhen was obviously teaching him something:
“But no matter what your estimate is, there are always variables that may arise during the trial.

For example, in today's case, we must have considered the good side before going to trial, and the organized logic will certainly be beneficial to us.

But the prosecutor is not a vegetarian. Once he raises targeted questions, our defense may not have the desired effect in the judge's mind. "

"Then how can we make the judge more willing to adopt our opinions?"

Ren Zhen is guided by kindness.

I have never seen Ren Zhen be so harsh. Chang Jiahang's mind was a little confused for a while.

How to get the judge to accept it?
"Shut up the prosecutor?"

He replied weakly, and Shi Hao next to him almost couldn't help laughing.

Shut up the prosecutor?

You kid has an idea!

When you become a real lawyer, I will definitely not bring you a lawsuit!

"Shut up the prosecutor?"

Even though he boasted that he was experienced in the battlefield and felt that he had seen all kinds of strange things, Ren Zhen never expected that one day such a person would appear next to him.

Why don't you say you can just sit on it and judge?

Seeing that Ren Zhen was already showing signs of becoming red-hot, Chang Jiahang realized that it was time to turn his head:
"Evidence and facts!

Let the evidence speak for itself, explain the facts with the logic that is most beneficial to us, and let the judge know that what we are talking about is possible! "

Ren Zhen's face looked a little better.

This seems like the same thing.

"Yes, the same evidence, interpreted from different angles, may lead to different conclusions.

What we, as lawyers, have to do is to try our best to dig out all the parts of the evidence that are beneficial to us, so that the probability of the facts moves closer to our side. "

Probability, to put it simply, means it may exist or it may not exist.

In court, judges must rely on evidence to determine facts, but in many cases, evidence often cannot show the full picture of a matter.

What should we do at this time?

You can’t just give up on identifying this part of the facts, right?
Then the case cannot be decided.

So there is this highly probable application.

That is, judging based on the high probability of an event occurring.

Although he was a little stunned, Chang Jiahang's theoretical foundation was quite solid and he understood what Ren Zhen meant instantly.

"So when you are not completely sure, you can try to start from multiple aspects at the same time."

Recalling Ren Zhen's actions in today's court hearing, he felt that he had understood a little bit:

“Each aspect pushes the facts a little closer to our side, and in the end, even if the facts are not completely clear, the verdict may not be against us.

Because the facts are unclear, the prosecutor's accusation is also unclear, but looking at it this way, there is still a suspicion of guilt on the defendant's side.

As long as we allow judges to form a stronger inner conviction, we do not necessarily have to make legal facts equal to objective facts. "Ren Zhen nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that Leng Tou Qing is not too stupid.

Many of the fledgling law students are full of enthusiasm, thinking that they can wash away all the darkness in the world, so that the truth can appear in the sun and support justice.

But in fact, many things are not what you want to do.

For a lawyer, what is most important when standing in court?

Legal facts matter most.

Legal facts come from evidence, and evidence comes from objective facts.

Therefore, legal facts are often not exactly the same as objective facts.

Making the objective facts determined in court as beneficial to the parties as possible is actually the core of a lawyer's work.

Discovering the truth is the best thing you can do, but to be honest, when you really can't do it, you should first resolve the current trial before talking about anything else.

Ren Zhen was afraid that Chang Jiahang would fall into this misunderstanding, so he took this opportunity to click at the right time.

"After today's court hearing, there are several points that are not enough for the judge to form a clear judgment, but these cannot be resolved today, so the case cannot be concluded."

Shi Hao, who was still looking forward to the result, heard Ren Zhen's explanation, and his excitement suddenly dropped a lot.

"Since some of the facts in this case are still unclear, this court decided to make a decision after understanding the situation in detail, making sure the facts are clear and the evidence is completely sufficient."

Sure enough, the result announced by Liu Lin was the same as Ren Zhen's prediction:
“Now let’s summarize the key points of controversy in this trial. The prosecutor and defender will make it clear again and confirm that there are no omissions.

Regarding the disputes, there are mainly disputes in the following aspects:

First, after reaching a settlement agreement of 30 yuan with Youen, did Shi Hao still have the intention to claim compensation from Youen Company, and whether his behavior in accepting media interviews was out of the idea of ​​using the media to put pressure on the other party;
Second, does Shi Hao have the legal right to claim the 200 million yuan claimed from Youen Company?

Third, on June 20, 6XX, the negotiation between Youen Company and Shi Hao”

After announcing the controversial points, Liu Lin looked at the prosecutor's seat: "Prosecutor, do you have anything to add to the above controversial parts?"

"No."

Di Ming shook his head.

"What about the defender?"

"No more, Judge."

Ren Zhen nodded politely in approval.

"Okay, since neither party has anything to add, this court will determine the time for the second hearing based on the situation and conduct a focused discussion on the above issues.

This concludes today's court hearing, adjourn! "

Boom!
The gavel fell, and the trial finally came to an end.

"My mom, it's finally over!"

The three judges left. Shi Hao let out a long sigh and found that his back had been soaked for some time.

Although he didn't say much, Shi Hao was the direct party to this case, so he would be a ghost if he wasn't nervous.

"Calm down Brother Hao, no result is the best result."

Ren Zhen went to the clerk to sign. Chang Jiahang comforted him while sorting the materials on the table.

"Bah, bah, bah! The final result must be good!"

But Shi Hao also knew that he was comforting himself.

Although there is no result for the time being, at least the original verdict was not upheld without any explanation like in the second trial.

The most important thing is that in today's court hearing, it was obvious that a lot of things were indeed discussed.

This feeling of being able to see the progress bar is great!
