As a Lawyer, You Sent the Judge In?

Chapter 263: Supervision and review, let’s go in two first!

 Queensland High Court.

 Due to the pressure of public opinion, the Supreme Court rejected the review of the death sentence.

 And asked them to ask the Kunming High Court to re-hear the case.

 Office of the President.

 Guan Dongfeng called the other two judges on this case, Lao Zhang and Lao Xu, to the office.

 Guan Dongfeng sat on the sofa and knocked on the table.

“Lao Zhang, Lao Xu, this case is being tried by the three of us in court.”

“Now that the Supreme Court has rejected the review of the suspended death sentence, public opinion on the Internet has convinced the prosecutors and the court to rule Meng Ziyi not guilty...to drop the charges against Meng Ziyi.”

 “What should we do now...?”

 Lao Zhang frowned and still maintained his previous view:

“Let’s not talk about anything else. As for public opinion, don’t worry about him. It won’t affect us anyway.”

“The Supreme Court rejected the reprieve of death simply because there was no physical evidence of the murder weapon used by Meng Ziyi to kill Gu Qiao and Xie Wei.”

"at this point.…"

“Wouldn’t it be better to let the law enforcement and prosecutors dismiss it and continue to investigate these two aspects?”

 “As for the retrial…”

“Whether this case is retried or not, the result is still the same, it’s just that there is no physical evidence to accuse Meng Ziyi.”

ˆ “.…”

“My personal idea is to delay the case for a while until the public opinion subsides or until physical evidence is found before charging and judging Meng Ziyi.”

 “How about this approach?”

 Lao Zhang turned to look at Guan Dongfeng and Lao Xu.

 Guan Dongfeng didn't have any objections. This approach did not have much impact on him.

 He nodded and agreed with Lao Zhang's statement.

"I agree with Lao Zhang. What about you, Lao Xu? What do you think?"

 Lao Xu frowned and sighed.

He wanted to say something, but seeing the expressions of Guan Dongfeng and Lao Zhang, he shook his head and said nothing.

.

 ….

 In the detention center.

Su Bai and Meng Ziyi made it clear about the request for a new sentence and the Supreme Court's rejection of his death sentence with a reprieve.

Meng Ziyi has been feeling depressed in the detention center these days.

 After hearing the news from Su Bai, he obviously recovered and regained his energy.

  kept saying: "Thank you, Lawyer Su..."

“Lawyer Su… rejected the reprieve of death and requested a retrial, so will nothing happen to me?”

Su Bai smiled: "Logically speaking, that's the case, but there are still a series of procedures to go through, and you may need to stay in the detention center for a while."

 “Okay, got it!”

Meng Ziyi nodded solemnly, no matter what, as long as he was not sentenced to death, he could be restored to his innocence.

 Even if I stay in the detention center for a while, there will still be no problems.

.

 ….

 After walking out of the detention center, Su Bai took a deep breath.

 At present, in terms of public opinion.

 It’s not just pressure on the court’s decision.

Moreover, public opinion is very concerned about the entire court hearing procedure and whether there are any violations in the entire litigation process.

 At the same time, there is also good news.

Su Bai’s previous submission for supervisory review was originally due to lack of evidence.

There are only reasons for suspicion and Meng Ziyi’s confession, and the supervision and review did not focus on investigating this matter.

But.…

 In the direction of public opinion, this matter has been amplified a lot by the supervision and review department.

 Immediately for.…

 During the interrogation and interrogation of Meng Ziyi, whether there were any irregularities in procedures was carefully investigated.

 And a comprehensive supervision review was conducted on the guards and all aspects at that time.

at last!

 The investigation results show that during the review process against Meng Ziyi.

There are serious violation procedures! .

 ….

 In a certain community as soon as the survey results came out.

 After learning the news, Fang Yilong didn't know what to say and fell into silence.

This case is his responsibility, there are serious violations, and he has hints, but it has nothing to do with him.

 But after the supervisory review comes out, who should the suspicion of this case be pointed at?

If Meng Ziyi is not pointed at, will this case still not be solved?

 Could it be that Gu Qiao and Xie Wei, this major case that shocked the judicial system, has become an unsolved case?

No!

 Definitely it cannot become an unsolved case!

Thinking of this, Fang Yilong called someone and briefly explained that relevant physical evidence must be found, no matter what method was used.

 Hang up the phone, Fang Yilong rubbed his eyebrows. This case required a time limit, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry.

after all.…

When this kind of case comes out, Xie Wei's identity is a bit special, and there must be an explanation.

.

 ….

 In Bai Jun Law Firm.

Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the supervisory review had made a major breakthrough.

 This case...has confirmed that a major breakthrough has been made in the supervision and review process.

 Then the next thing is very simple...

 At the stages of recording confessions and interrogating Meng Ziyi, it can be said to be illegal operations.

 Illegal evidence obtained through illegal operations will not be used as court trial evidence.

Then things are very simple and clear at this point.

It will not be used as trial evidence, which means that Meng Ziyi’s previous confession, identification of the crime scene, or other circumstances are all invalid.

 Because this is all illegal evidence.

 Equivalent to - Except for suspicion, there is no actual evidence that can accuse Meng Ziyi of being guilty.

 Based on this—

  The prosecution should have withdrawn the case early, or the court should have ruled not guilty because there was no obvious evidence.

 “Just wait...and that’s it.”

Su Bai took a sip of tea, turned his head and looked at Li Xuezhen, who had an excited face.

 “Is there any new progress in Meng Ziyi’s case?”

Li Xuezhen nodded seriously: "Yes, Lawyer Su!"

“According to the supervision and review department’s explanation to the public, two criminal investigators have been prosecuted.”

 Two people...?

  It means that these two people provided illegal evidence and were prosecuted.

But.…

As for the illegal evidence, the prosecutor at the time did not conduct an inspection. Wasn’t that also a dereliction of duty?

also.

 In terms of the Intermediate Court and the High Court, when the chain of evidence is incomplete, the relevant collegial panel members should and need to be held responsible for certain situations.

  If it was done intentionally, it is likely to involve matters such as miscarriage of justice.

Forget it.

 Ignore it for now….

 In any case, if nothing else happens, this case can be considered over here. Nothing else will happen. Now there is only one question, waiting for the prosecutor to make a determination on this case.

 Certification completed.…

Then the case is considered over.

.

 ….

 It’s just...

 As time goes by, the court and prosecutors still show no sign of wanting to retry or withdraw the case.

  ? ?

Logically speaking, if illegal evidence has been found in this kind of case, the case can be released on bail in half a month to a month.

Now.…

Su Bai asked many times when Meng Ziyi could be released on bail pending trial.

 But the answers given to him were very vague...

Su Bai didn't understand this very much. Could it be that there were other unexpected situations?

No way….?

.

 ….

Just when Su Bai was confused, the High Court decided to retry the case and notified the corresponding date.

 After learning the news of the retrial for the first time, Su Bai took a long breath.

 A retrial may result in a not guilty verdict in court.

 There should be no surprises.…

 The time for the retrial will soon come.

On the day of the hearing, the trial will continue to be conducted by Guan Dongfeng.

Although I submitted materials to the Supreme Court last time, it caused the High Court to rehear the current hearing.

 However, the current supervisory review has revealed illegal evidence. Even Guan Dongfeng in this case insists on judging Meng Ziyi.

 The other two members of the collegial panel would not agree.

Su Bai thought silently in his heart.

.

 ….

At the court hearing, Guan Dongfeng's eyes fell on Su Bai, with an indescribable feeling.

 Following.

 Guan Dongfeng asked the prosecutor to produce relevant evidence and conduct corresponding cross-examination.

Su Bai:? ? ?

 Provide corresponding evidence and conduct cross-examination?

 What evidence is produced?

Logically speaking, this trial should have announced that there was no relevant evidence to accuse Meng Ziyi, and that Meng Ziyi had committed a crime and was acquitted in court.

 But what is the current situation….

 The current situation is that the presiding judge actually asked the prosecutor to conduct cross-examination...

Su Bai raised his hand and asked, "Presiding judge, regarding Meng Ziyi, the defendant in this case."

“During the previous review, it was discovered that criminal investigators had committed irregularities in Meng Ziyi’s interrogation.”

 “The evidence obtained is all illegal evidence…”

“Based on this, I would like to ask the presiding judge, is there anything else that needs to be cross-examined?”

“Or is there any legal evidence that can accuse the defendant of killing Gu Qiao and Xie Wei?”

 The gavel struck.

 Presiding judge Guan Dongfeng asked the prosecutor to present relevant evidence.

Bo Haojie provided the most critical evidence, physical evidence, the knife used to stab Gu Qiao and Xie Wei to death.

　　Su Bai was stunned for a moment when the knife was presented to the court.

  ? ? ?

 Have you found the murder weapon? !

Is Meng Ziyi really the murderer and not the one who wrongly accused him?

But.…

  Why was the murder weapon never found before, but the murder weapon and evidence were found during the retrial?

ˆTMD!

Isn't it possible that another piece of illegal evidence was obtained from somewhere? !

This case.…

Su Bai looked at the relevant evidence submitted by the prosecutor and rubbed his eyebrows.

 It’s too difficult!

.

 ….

 At the presiding judge's seat, Guan Dongfeng looked at the relevant evidence provided by the prosecutor and nodded.

 Physical evidence was supplemented.…

 So basically there is no big problem in this case.

 Although, there are some coincidences in the time when this physical evidence appeared here.

 But now that there is physical evidence...then the overall issues involved can be well explained.

 I won’t talk about other aspects for now…

 With the addition of physical evidence, this case is equivalent to forming a complete chain of evidence.

 Applying for a death penalty review, there is no shortage of relevant certificates.

Guan Dongfeng continued: "The defendant Meng Ziyi, based on the physical evidence presented, confirmed that the murder weapons of Gu Qiao and Xie Wei have been found..."

“Is there anything else you would like to say about this basic fact?”

Meng Ziyi shook his head crazily: "Presiding judge, I did not kill anyone..."

 “I don’t know where this physical evidence came from…”

"I really do not know!"

 “This murder weapon is not mine!”

Hearing Meng Ziyi’s denial, Guan Dongfeng continued: “The murder weapon has been inspected and there are traces and evidence left by you on it.”

 “For this, relevant certification has been carried out.…”

"You don't need to continue to refute. The most important thing about this case is the relevant physical evidence."

“With the physical evidence, even if you deny it, it will be of no use. It is impossible to find you innocent in court.”

 “My suggestion is that you think about it carefully before answering this question.”

 After Guan Dongfeng finished speaking, he took a look at the litigation materials.

Then he looked up and glanced at Meng Ziyi at the defendant's seat.

at this time.…

 Meng Ziyi's psychology was broken. He really didn't know where this evidence came from!

really do not know!

 What can he do, what can he say now?

 Originally, I entered the court trial with the hope that I could prove my innocence, but now new evidence has emerged.

 The facts fully charged him with murder.

what to do.…?

Meng Ziyi set his sights on Su Bai.

Su Bai took a long breath, this case was obvious.

Someone deliberately targeted Mencius and wanted to make him the one who took the blame.

　　Whether it is from the initial act of persecution or from the murder weapons and evidence that suddenly appear now.

 They are all very...how to say...targeted.…

but.…

 The most important thing at the moment is to suspend the trial.

 In other words...question the evidence and find the true source of the evidence.

otherwise.…

Meng Ziyi may really have to carry the blame on his back!
