As a Lawyer, You Sent the Judge In?

Chapter 371: The verdict is not guilty, accountability is being held, the detective overturned!

About Xu Xingwang’s case, this is actually the key point.

 That means accepting or not accepting Xu Xingwang’s confession.

 Although Xu Xingwang’s confession has no direct objective facts that can prove the authenticity of his confession.

  But there is indirect evidence and indirect facts.

Regarding the relevant penalties, Lin Yuanfeng, as the presiding judge, simply made a certain summary of the defense.

 Then the gavel was struck.

“Based on the existing defense content and certification of relevant facts.”

“The collegial panel is already aware of the case.”

 “Now enter the adjournment for discussion.”

 Adjourn the court for deliberations.

Facing the adjournment, Su Bai didn't say much.

　　In fact, the most important thing about the reversal of the case this time is the certification of the presiding judge.

 The Supreme People's Procuratorate protested because there was a lack of direct evidence against Xu Xingwang.

If the High Court agrees with the Supreme People's Procuratorate's protest.

Then it will be very simple to reverse this case.

  Generally speaking, Su Bai had certain expectations for the outcome of the judgment.

 The original judgment of the previous trial will certainly not be upheld.

On the other side, the audience watching this live broadcast are also curious about the final outcome of this trial.

Why?

 Because in this case, the person in charge is Wang Fang.

In addition, Wang Fang also has a certain reputation on the Internet. He is a 100% detective who solves crimes. This title has been circulated on the Internet for several years.

 Although it is not as well-known as Shubai on the Internet, it is still not small and accounts for a lot of traffic.

During the trial of this case, Xu Xingwang directly stated in his statement that Wang Fang performed illegal procedures.

 Then if the case is judged to be unjust, false or wrong.

 Wang Fang’s 100% case-solving detective will be questioned.

 And where this detective came from, there will be huge turmoil.

 More importantly, will Wang Fang be sentenced for this?

 This is also a point of concern for many people.

 During the recess, many spectators were discussing the final verdict.

 However, based on the existing conditions, no final decision has been discussed.

.

 ….

 In the collegial court discussion room.

 Lin Yuanfeng is also discussing the final decision of this case with the other two judges.

This case is not a complex case to begin with, and there are not many issues that need to be answered.

  Only in terms of judgment, there are many areas that need attention.

Lin Yuanfeng first expressed his views:

“The issue involved in this case is whether we should accept Xu Xingwang’s existing confession.”

“Xu Xingwang said that the previous procedures violated regulations, but he could not provide any evidence.”

“It is against the rules to declare one’s innocence now and then use one’s confession to state one’s previous confession.”

“But there is no evidence to prove the existing confession for the collegial panel to accept.”

“What do you two think about this?”

 Besides, Li Shang, as the judge this time, was silent for a few seconds, and then spoke:

“Yuanfeng, have you fallen into any misunderstandings about this case?”

Although Li Shang serves as a judge in this case, he has relatively senior experience in the Jiangdu High Court.

He once served as a presiding judge, but due to personal reasons, he was unwilling to continue working as a judge.

 Occasionally served as a judge.

Hearing what Li Shang said, Lin Yuanfeng asked: "What misunderstanding did you fall into?"

　　Li Shang spoke: “The statement entrusted by the appellant’s lawyer has been very clear.”

“The key to whether this case is determined to be unjust, false or wrong is not whether it can be proven whether Xu Xingwang’s current confession is true.”

“It’s about whether the direct evidence at the time can confirm whether Xu Xingwang committed a crime.”

“What can prove that Xu Xingwang is guilty of a crime?”

“It’s his original confession and the confession and punishment he submitted.”

“As for other evidence, it cannot prove Xu Xingwang’s criminal facts.”

 “The original confession conflicts with the existing confession.”

 “Then we need to look at the stolen goods.”

 “Did the stolen goods not be found?”

“If it is not found, it means that the most important physical evidence is missing.”

“Based on this, the evidence chain in this case is incomplete, and Xu Xingwang should not be convicted of a crime.”

At this time, another judge spoke: "But there is a problem before us now."

"what is the problem?"

“The problem is that when Xu Xingwang was found guilty of a crime, his confession and punishment were obtained from Xu Xingwang’s confession.”

“But now according to Xu Xingwang, he has no evidence to prove that the confession at that time was illegal evidence.”

“This is also the most critical point in the judgment in this case.”

“He has no evidence to prove that the confession he made at that time was illegal evidence, so how can he be found not guilty?”

Li Shang’s brows knitted together: “But didn’t I just say that the stolen goods were not found?”

“In the transcript at that time, Xu Xingwang said that his gold chain was stolen goods. He admitted that the gold chain came from stolen goods, but where did the other stolen goods go?”

 “The most important piece of evidence, the stolen goods, was not found!”

“This is also a key link in the evidence chain. Can’t this be used as direct evidence to overturn the original confession?”

“Illegal evidence does not necessarily need to be used to overturn Xu Xingwang’s original confession.”

“You can also use the stolen goods left behind as direct evidence to overturn the original confession.”

“We may disagree with Xu Xingwang’s current confession, but based on the previous point, there is no direct evidence to determine that Xu Xingwang was the criminal at that time.”

 “Can you understand?”

 Li Shang said it very directly and clearly. To put it bluntly, he had a point of view.

 Support acquittal.

Lin Yuanfeng and the other judge were silent for a few seconds after listening to what Li Shang said.

 While they were silent, Li Shang continued to add:

 “A little more.”

“Although the judicial procuratorate belongs to two departments, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate has protested in this case.”

“Our courts should also make judgments based on corresponding evidence.”

“Let me ask Yuanfeng, do you have anything to do with that Wang Fang?”

 Lin Yuanfeng:.….

"It doesn't matter."

"It doesn't matter. Judging based on the evidence, the biggest impact of this case is the reputational impact it may have on Wang Fang, and we must pursue accountability."

“But it has nothing to do with you...”

"I know your worries. You are considering Xu Xingwang's penalty and whether there will be any other problems."

 “I said it directly.”

“I have tried many cases before and had many interactions with law enforcement agencies.”

“I have also heard of Wang Fang’s evaluation in their department, which is not very good.”

“Although Xu Xingwang has no evidence to prove that Wang Fang has committed illegal acts in terms of procedures, this case may be what Xu Xingwang said.” “It is a typical unjust, false and wrong case.”

 “Just judge according to what I said.”

 “Do you two have any other opinions?”

Lin Yuanfeng: "In fact, my preference for this case is also to find him not guilty, but I may have to consider more."

 “I have no other ideas now.”

 “I agree with this judgment.”

“If you don’t have any opinion, you can make a judgment based on this.”

 The other judge nodded.

He has no inclination towards the judgment of this case and believes that facts and evidence must be used to make the decision.

His initial rebuttal was just to express the doubts in his heart, but now Li Shang thinks he can make a decision.

 He will naturally not refute.

"You two have no objections, and I have no objections either."

 “Okay, if that’s the case, let’s let it be this way.”

“Yuanfeng, you are the presiding judge, you decide.”

 Hear what Li Shang said.

Lin Yuanfeng smiled and nodded, not paying too much attention to it. When he entered the High Court, Li Shang had helped him several times before.

 So Lin Yuanfeng still had some respect for Li Shang, nodded and said: "Okay."

soon.…

 The adjournment is over.

 The court convened again, and Lin Yuanfeng sat on the bench and sorted out the case.

 At this point in the defense, the prosecutor has no inclination and just hopes that the court can make an objective factual judgment.

Su Bai has already stated the corresponding situation in his statement just now.

When Lin Yuanfeng requested a court statement, the prosecutor made a corresponding statement based on objective facts.

Su Bai also made a statement in terms of stolen goods, and after making a corresponding general statement.

 At the trial table, Lin Yuanfeng began to directly announce the verdict.

“The courts of all parties have completed their presentations and have no other objections to this case.”

“The verdict will now be announced.”

 When the verdict was announced, the people who were most interested in the verdict were actually the viewers watching the live broadcast of the court.

 Including Wang Fang himself.

Wang Fang watched the live broadcast of the trial, waiting for the presiding judge to announce the final verdict.

Lin Yuanfeng continued to speak at the court hearing:

“The cause of this case was brought by Xu Xingwang. He believed that the judgment issued 23 years ago was wrong and filed an appeal.”

“The court conducted an investigation based on relevant facts and evidence.”

“The current verdict is as follows:”

“This court believes that in the case of Xu Xingwang’s home invasion, robbery and murder.”

“Based on the existing evidence, it is not enough to convict Xu Xingwang as the perpetrator of burglary, robbery and murder.”

 “Lack of primary physical evidence.”

"Not enough evidence."

 “That is, to overturn the previous judgment.”

“Xu Xingwang is found not guilty!”

 The gavel was struck, and the final verdict came down. Xu Xingwang let out a long sigh of relief at the appellant's seat.

 He does not understand the law.

During the defense of this case, he always felt that he might be found guilty.

 Now that I heard that I was found not guilty...to be honest, I was very excited.

 At the table where the appellant's lawyer was appointed, Su Bai took a long breath after hearing the outcome of the case.

 At present, the client’s litigation claims are partially completed.

 The verdict of not guilty has also come down.

 After the verdict of not guilty is made, the remaining process is much simpler.

 Why do you say that?

 Because the verdict of not guilty is over, it is necessary to consider why the verdict of guilty was obtained before.

 The relevant responsible persons must be held accountable.

 Only when the person is found not guilty can the relevant responsible persons be held accountable. This is a necessary process.

Besides, Li Xuezhen’s eyes lit up:

“Lawyer Su... If this case is found not guilty, can we continue with the client’s other claims?”

 Other demands?

Isn’t the other appeal just to accuse the female detective?

Su Bai smiled: "Absolutely."

.

 ….

On the other side, there were many viewers who watched this live broadcast and saw the judgment results.

  Discuss directly in the barrage: "I'm sorry! This case has been overturned!"

“Isn’t this a typical case of unjust, false or wrongful conviction?”

“What else can be said about the lack of major physical evidence?”

 “Be accountable!”

“That’s right! If the case is overturned, doesn’t that mean there was something wrong with this case decades ago?”

“Should the relevant personnel be held accountable?”

“With a sentence as severe as suspended death, the relevant personnel must be held accountable, according to the confession of the appellant Xu Xingwang just now.”

“This case was originally tried by Wang Fang, and I estimate that it is very likely that Wang Fang will be held accountable.”

 “Wang Fang? The detective overturned?!”

　　　….”

On the legal comment barrage, many people discussed Wang Fang due to the final verdict of the case.

 The case was determined to be unjust, false, and wrong, and everyone’s attention was focused on whether the original trial procedure was illegal.

at the same time.

Wang Fang also frowned after hearing the final verdict.

 Although in her heart, she thought this case had nothing to do with her.

 But now that he is found not guilty, the supervisory authorities will definitely hold him accountable.

 At that time...it will indeed have a certain impact on her.

“But the original evidence should be gone now.”

 “It’s just a little troublesome.”

 “It’s nothing important.”

 Besides, although Xu Xingwang was found not guilty this time.

 However, the main basis for the verdict was the lack of major physical evidence.

 It has nothing to do with her procedural violation trial.

 What problem could she have?

 Wang Kexin thought silently in his heart.
