Chapter 80

  "Okay, now we have officially entered the trial process. Please represent the plaintiff's lawyer to make a statement."

  With the judge's order, Xue Jia first glanced at Lin Feng, then took a deep breath and took a step forward.

  "My client, Mr. Lin Feng, sued Tianhai University's "Campus Situation" and Tianhai Radio and Television's "Tianhai Hot News" two columns today, because they were suspected of publishing an article slandering my client on the evening of September 9.

  At the same time, these two articles quickly spread on the Internet platform and had a very bad influence on me, so this has constituted a charge of defamation. The following is the evidence collected by my client! "

  After Xue Jia finished speaking, she handed over a document to the judge.

  This profile shows the number of article views and discussion heat for the two columns before their respective articles were deleted.

  The matter itself is already ironclad, so the judge did not feel suspicious, and immediately said to the two people in the dock: "Zhang Ting from the "Campus Situation" column and Zhou Yong from the "Tianhai Hot News" column , do you have anything to say?"

  "Your Majesty, I want to say a few words!"

  At this time, to everyone's surprise, despite the overwhelming evidence, Zhang Ting's defense lawyer was still thinking about speaking.

  But since one of the parties wants to speak, the judge will naturally not stop it.

  "Come on, keep it simple!"

  "Thank you, the judge. Although my client was found guilty in the dock today, is her crime really that serious? I actually disagree.

  First of all, the most important point in the charge of slander and slander is whether you have made a profit in the process while lying about the other party.

  But my client works part-time in the school's radio and television station, and the monthly salary is fixed, so in fact, her motive for doing this is not to make a profit.

  However, although she did not make any profit from it, she did infringe on Mr. Lin Feng's privacy, so my client is willing to make some financial compensation for him, and if the other party has other requirements, he can also bring it forward. "

  Although Zhang Ting's lawyer recognized her guilt, she defended her throughout the whole process, hoping to alleviate her crime and reconcile with Lin Feng.

  "I have something to say too!"

  After Zhang Ting's defense attorney finished speaking, Zhou Yong's defense attorney also spoke immediately.

  "Okay, long story short!"

  The judge replied.

  "Although my client is the editor in charge of "Tianhai Hot News", and at the same time, the TV station has obtained some corresponding benefits in this report, but I still want to emphasize that, anywhere in the world, the TV station broadcasts No news can be guaranteed to be [-]% true.

  Just like when the TV station broadcasts the weather forecast, no one can accurately predict the weather, right?

  More importantly, I would like to stress that this is the first time in the history of our Tianhai City that an official news media column has been charged.

  Therefore, this case is likely to affect the media in Tianhai City in the future.

  If a slightly biased report will be severely punished, will our news media workers in Tianhai City always worry about the authenticity of the news they write when they work in the future?

  After all, if it is not the case of the parties, the reports must be slightly different, so please consider this issue seriously. "

  After Zhou Yong's attorney finished speaking, the audience immediately became noisy.

  Today, almost all major media organizations in Tianhai City have sent reporters over, so Zhou Yong's defense lawyer's remarks can be said to have hit their hearts.

  After all, when reporting a piece of news, it is difficult for reporters and editors to understand the whole thing at once, and more often they make statements based on the result orientation.

  So in fact, what Zhou Yong's attorney said is not unreasonable.

  Hearing this, a smile appeared on Lin Feng's face.

  As expected, the official media did not plead guilty like Zhang Ting from the beginning to the end. Instead, they wanted to take the lead in using public opinion to put pressure on the court, and at the same time, they also wanted to win the favor of the reporters on the scene.

  And Xue Jia didn't expect to meet the opponent's stubborn resistance in the first trial.

  Zhang Ting's side can be resolved. Whether it can be reconciled is a matter of Lin Feng's words. As long as he is not willing to reconcile, then Zhang Ting can only plead guilty.

  However, Zhou Yong's attitude was very tough, and he never admitted his fault from beginning to end.

  After listening to the statements of both parties, the judge said again, "Xue Jia, do you have anything else to add?"

  "Yes, I want to tell Zhou Yong's attorney that although the weather forecast will be biased when it is broadcast, it will be explained in advance before the broadcast, and the forecast is actually an expected report, so this Completely different from this article you wrote.

  I have also read your entire report in advance, and all the content in the whole article has a very strong direction, so what you do is completely false! "

  Although Xue Jia is a rookie, she can still control this little thing.

  Seeing that Xue Jia resisted so strongly, the defense lawyer of the other party could not help but frown slightly.

  After all, the two sides actually passed the anger before the event, but why did Xue Jia not only have no intention of making matters less important after the trial, but instead launched a violent attack on him.

  At the same time, he also knew that his words were indeed untenable, so when he was attacked by Xue Jia, he couldn't make a strong counterattack at all.

  "Do you have anything else to say?"

  The judge then turned his head and asked.

  "I do not have anymore!"

  Zhou Yong's attorney finally gave up the debate after hesitating for a while. After all, he didn't know what to say.

  "Okay, now ask both parties to make a final statement, and the defendant will speak first!"

  "I deeply apologize that the misleading report I wrote at that time had a great impact on Lin Feng. At the same time, I also sincerely hope that Lin Feng can read our alumni and let me go."

  Zhang Ting burst into tears and pleaded on the spot.

  From the beginning to the end, she had planned to use the affliction card to try to impress Lin Feng.

  After all, Lin Feng is just a freshman who has just entered the freshman year and a student of Tianhai University, so she and Wu Yong and others firmly believe that under such circumstances, Lin Feng will never kill them all.

  After Zhang Ting finished speaking, Zhou Yong also said, "I also deeply apologize to Mr. Lin Feng. At the same time, I am willing to compensate Mr. Lin Feng for all the economic losses, but I also hope that I will be the last person in the news media to be charged!"

Chapter 81 Victory in the first battle, criminals subdue the law

  After the two finished speaking, the judge said again: "The plaintiff is invited to make the final statement."

  After the judge finished speaking, Lin Feng stood up.

  At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Feng.

  And Lin Feng is also very clear that now one of the other party is playing emotional cards, and the other is directly inciting public opinion, trying to make public opinion favor his side.

  Both of these situations are extremely detrimental to me.

  Zhang Ting has already said this for the sake of it. If she still insists on not forgiving her, it will definitely make the teachers and students of Tianhai University and all walks of life think that she is a little belly.

  As for Zhou Yong, it is even more difficult. If he pursues him, he will not only offend some powerful figures in Tianhai City, but also may be drowned out by the voices of public opinion.

  So his statement this time is crucial.

  After all, he is the plaintiff in this case, and the final outcome of the whole matter is largely determined by him.

  After moistening his throat, Lin Feng said solemnly: "The reason why I stand here today to sue my alma mater broadcasting station and the most authoritative media organization in Tianhai City is not because I want to be famous, nor is it to force the other party to give me An apology or compensation for financial loss.

  I did this to send a message to all sectors of society that the online world is not a place of lawlessness at any time.

  For a long time in the past, due to the rapid development of the Internet, a large number of illegal and criminal incidents have appeared on the Internet.

  At the same time, there are many people like me who have suffered and even lost their lives because of it.

  So I stood up today to seek justice for them, that is, no matter what, rumors should not be forgiven.

  Since the country has promulgated relevant laws on online rumors, isn't the purpose to maintain the healthy development of the online world?

  In this case, shouldn't we take it seriously?

  In addition, if I give in or compromise today, then there will definitely be a second or even a third Lin Feng in the real world in the future.

  I believe this is not a situation that everyone in the live and live broadcast room would like to see, right? "

  Lin Feng was not aggressive or indignant, but ended his most important statement with a rhetorical question.

  And as soon as he said these words, Xu Lei and others sitting at the scene couldn't help standing up and applauding excitedly.

  Although Lin Feng's words were very plain, they directly hit everyone's heart.

  Indeed, no one wants to be the next Lin Feng, and at the same time, everyone is extremely sensitive to rumors.

  And now that there is such a person who is willing to fight for this matter, then everyone is naturally willing to do their best to support it.

  For a time, the entire audience burst into applause.

  Seeing this scene, the faces of the defendant and Wu Yong and others sitting in the audience were very ugly.

  They never expected that a freshman would actually raise the whole thing to a national level.

  And this case was broadcast live across the country, so you don't have to think about it, what kind of discussion will be set off on the Internet after the case is over.

  At the same time, the judge on the high platform couldn't help shaking his head slightly after seeing this scene, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

  Obviously, he knew that he would never be able to favor Zhou Yong and the others today.

  "Okay, now that both parties have made statements, let's adjourn the court for fifteen minutes now, and we will read the results of the trial in fifteen minutes!"

  The judge got up and left the court with a hammer.

  At this time, Xue Jia finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was so nervous that her palms were sweating.

  "How did I behave just now?"

  Xue Jia then walked over to Lin Feng and said.

  "Hehe, it's okay, it's not satisfactory, fortunately, they didn't get around to it!"

  "I didn't expect them to resist. What I thought was that they would definitely surrender and admit defeat, and then hope to get our forgiveness so that the court will punish them lightly."

  "Actually, that's it. Although making rumors and slander is a crime, it's probably not easy to get a sentence.

  After all, it was only me who spread rumors. If they dared to spread rumors about false dangers and disasters, they would definitely go to jail. "

  Lin Feng spoke indifferently.

  He also knew that just relying on a rumor-making article would definitely not allow the other party to get a severe sentence, but as long as the other party was found guilty, then that was enough!

  "Well, we will definitely win this battle, but you have to be careful in the next second battle."

  Xue Jia couldn't help but reminded.

  "Don't worry, I have nothing to fear, and I will never compromise!"

  Seeing that Lin Feng's attitude was so determined, Xue Jia also gained some confidence.

  At the same time, through Lin Feng's speech just now, she has actually noticed that Lin Feng is a very intelligent person.
