Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer Chapter 292

   Chapter 292 Newcomer Su Xiaoqian, little apprentice betting

   City court entrance.

  Zhang Wei and Gao Xiaoping said goodbye.

   As a party to the case, Gao Xiaoping did not return to Beichong Island, but stayed at a friend's house in Dongfangdu.

   As for Zhang Wei, he naturally returned to the law firm.

Ding!

   The prompt tone of the mobile phone suddenly appeared, which was a text message notification from the court.

   "The court will be held next Monday. The time is really tight. Could it be that the District Attorney's Headquarters secretly pressured me to kill me earlier?"

  Zhang Wei felt that the headquarters of the district inspector couldn't wait, and wanted to find a place in himself.

   But he didn't mean to resist.

   In fact, in the pretrial motion just now, he has already explained his side's court arguments.

  My client and I are willing to cooperate, but the conditions for plead guilty are 3 years, 2 years of probation, and parole for the last year. These are the conditions of the defense.

   And the condition of the prosecution is 10 years, which is really unacceptable.

   In addition, the two sides cannot reach an agreement, so they can only fight in court.

   We can't talk about it, which is to be expected.

   District Prosecution Headquarters is determined to defeat Zhang Wei at all, even if Zhang Wei has already planned to defend his guilt, they will not forgive him.

   There is no way, the local inspection headquarters is already afraid of losing when facing Zhang Wei, and urgently needs a victory.

   The case of Gao Xiaoping is the beginning of victory.

   This case should not be fought, Zhang Wei also knew that Gao Xiaoping could not be innocent.

   So the District Prosecution Headquarters will definitely not agree to Zhang Wei's reconciliation conditions, otherwise winning is equal to not winning.

   They need a victory, and a big one!

After    figured this out, Zhang Wei had no choice.

   He can only return to the law firm, to the Criminal Department.

   At the same time, the Office of the Criminal Department.

   Just when Zhang Wei went to the court to participate in the motion proceedings, the new people were already active.

  Although they couldn't accompany Zhang Wei to the motion proceedings, it didn't mean they didn't pay attention to this case.

   On the contrary, they gathered in the office lobby early in the morning, not only prepared a writing board, but also recorded all Zhang Wei's case information on it.

   "You said, what should Lawyer Zhang do?"

   "What else can be done, this case itself is not worth fighting?"

   "Yes, yes, even Lawyer Zhang can't possibly win."

   "There is a saying that it is difficult for a clever woman to make money without rice. This case should be convicted properly. No matter how powerful Lawyer Zhang is, he will not be able to obtain benefits from the local prosecutor's headquarters. That is the local prosecutor's headquarters!"

  More than 20 newcomers actually don't need to stand in line, because they all know that the case cannot be solved.

   "Although the District Prosecution Headquarters is very powerful, that's lawyer Zhang Wei. Hasn't he always been able to turn things around from desperation?"

   A girl who supported Zhang Wei suddenly stood up with little stars in her eyes.

   "Yeah, I didn't believe that anyone could win against the District Prosecution Headquarters before, but Lawyer Zhang did it, and he won several times!"

   "I have read all the lawyer Zhang's cases, and I can only say that his methods are beyond everyone's expectations. I think this time, he is just as confident!"

   The girl's words immediately attracted several people who supported Zhang Wei.

  Although the case is difficult, it also depends on who is in charge of the case.

   If it is Zhang Wei, who is known as a "murder lawyer" and "the nemesis of the local prosecutor's headquarters", it may not be difficult.

   "I think this time, even if it is lawyer Zhang Wei, it should be difficult to fight, right?"

   "That's right, I heard that the prosecutor this time is not an ordinary prosecutor, but the director of the misdemeanor department office. That's also a hard bone!"

   "Although lawyer Zhang is very powerful, in the face of such a seasoned prosecutor, maybe he will gnaw his teeth?"

   Among the newcomers, there are also some people who are pessimistic and are not very optimistic about Zhang Wei's case.

   "How can you say that, we must support Lawyer Zhang!"

   "He's the ace lawyer in our criminal department office, and we are all members of the criminal department!"

   "Although everyone is currently in the internship period, I have already regarded myself as a Jincheng person in my heart, so I stand with Lawyer Zhang!"

   There are also some newcomers who support Zhang Wei and show a sense of identity with the Jincheng Criminal Department.

  Ding dong!

  The elevator door opened and Zhang Wei came back.

   In an instant, the office, which was still lively, suddenly fell silent.

   "Yo hoo, are you all gathering here to chat?"

   Zhang Wei's expression was calm when he saw so many people gathered in the office hall.

   After all, the Criminal Department is no longer a small department, and there will be more and more people.

   "Lawyer Zhang, can I ask, what are you going to do with this case?" a girl asked curiously, blinking her eyes.

   Zhang Wei was a little surprised when he looked at this more active girl.

   However, girls with active personalities are generally the first to integrate into the office, and may also be the first to become regulars.

   For this future colleague, Zhang Wei naturally asked curiously, "What's your name?"

   "My name is Su Xiaoqian, I'm from Jinying City, and I graduated from Jinnan University Law School!" The girl asked Zhang Wei's question and immediately reported to her family.

   "Oh, Xiao Su, I'm really not very good at answering this question you asked!"

Zhang Wei smiled and looked at the girls and the other newcomers, "Theoretically speaking, this case is actually not worth fighting, all I can do is negotiate with the prosecution about the conditions, and argue with the other party over the years of detention. ."

   "We all know this!"

  Su Xiaoqian probably saw that Zhang Wei was better at talking, so she immediately became excited.

   "Lawyer Zhang, can you tell us something we don't know?"

"this…"

   Seeing that the girl was staring, and other newcomers were looking at him, Zhang Wei felt that as an ace, he really needed to show his hand.

   He didn't plan to go back to the office, but walked into the office lobby.

   "Actually, there is a way to catch this kind of case that you know you can't fight!"

   "What routine?" All the newcomers around were excited and looking forward.

   "That is to ask the prosecution to withdraw the case, or to force the prosecution to compromise!"

  The newcomers looked at each other, and some did not understand.

  You are at a disadvantage, how can you force the prosecution to compromise, or even let them withdraw the case?

   The prosecution has won, so how could they drop the case? Isn't this guilt?

   "Actually, the prosecution is dead, but people are alive!"

  Zhang Wei smiled and wrote the words "Guo Wufeng" on the display board.

   "In court trials, especially in the defense of the criminal court, who is your opponent? Is it the public prosecution?"

   "Wrong, your opponent is the public prosecutor. Although he is exercising the right to prosecute and represents a public prosecution agency like the District Prosecution Headquarters, he is a person after all, but everyone has weaknesses and dead spots!"

   He said and tapped the three words "Guo Wufeng" on the display board.

   Su Xiaoqian immediately raised her hand and said, "I understand. Lawyer Zhang said that the prosecutor should be removed, right?"

   "Sister, don't talk nonsense, I just said that the opponent is a human, I didn't say that I want to kill him!"

   A drop of mountain fell on Zhang Wei's forehead. This girl's brain circuit is really weird.

   "Besides, what is my relationship with Lao Guo, we are all acquaintances..."

   "Lawyer Zhang, does your acquaintance give you any conditions for reconciliation?" The girl continued to ask.

"this…"

   Thinking of Lao Guo's reconciliation conditions, Zhang Wei felt that he couldn't continue talking today.

   "Lao Guo is just a little impulsive in his actions, but he is very good. I like Lao Guo very much, and I am looking forward to fighting him in court."

   Zhang Wei felt that he had to behave better in front of newcomers and not lower the image of the Criminal Department.

   He resisted the urge to scold Guo Wufeng, and even said a bunch of compliments to the other party.

   "Okay, that's all I can say. As for the specific countermeasures, I still need to go back and think about it. You guys continue to discuss!"

   Zhang Wei waved his hand, said goodbye to the newcomers, and went straight back to his office.

   The newcomers looked at each other in dismay.

   "Do you think Lawyer Zhang is bluffing?"

   "I look like, I bet 50 bucks, he's bluffing!"

   "Is this still a bet? Well, I'll bet 50 yuan as well. Lawyer Zhang actually already has a countermeasure!"

   "Then how about me playing the bet? Although this case is difficult to play, I think Lawyer Zhang must be sure. Lawyer Zhang loses 5 to 1 if he wins, and how about 2.5 to 1 if Lawyer Zhang loses?"

   "Okay, okay, I can't win against Lawyer Zhang!"

   "I want it too, I want it too!"

   For a time, all the newcomers actively participated in the market, but most people felt that Zhang Wei could not win.

   "What are you doing!"

   But suddenly, a cute voice sounded.

   Seeing Lin Yumeng sticking her waist, her face that had some baby fat was full of anger.

   "How can you slander my master like this, he is very powerful!"

  The cute girl said and walked to the newcomer who opened the market.

   The latter had a "squeak" in his heart, and secretly said that he was done.

   They know that the identity of the person in front of him seems to be not only the team leader of the criminal department, but also has a lot to do with the above.

   So seeing Lin Yumeng getting angry, everyone bowed their heads and didn't dare to make a sound.

  Lin Yumeng frowned, and suddenly stretched his hand into his pocket, "Here, this is 1,000 yuan, I will beat the master to win!"

   "Ah, this..."

   The newcomer was stunned when he looked at the stack of money that Lin Yumeng had stuffed over.

   However, after seeing the serious face of this "Team Leader Lin" in front of him, he still took the money with a smile.

   After all, it's a big law firm. People in the same office will bet before the court session. This is also a form of entertainment.

The    market opened and the bet was closed.

   Now everyone's attention has also come to Zhang Wei.

   On the other hand, Zhang Wei was sitting in the office, thinking hard about countermeasures.

on Monday.

   Pre-trial and trial day.

  The weekend two days passed quickly, and Monday arrived as scheduled.

   Over the weekend, Zhang Wei did several things.

   One of them was to personally go to Beichong Island, intending to find character witnesses for his client.

  Unfortunately, many people on Beichong Island refused when they heard that they wanted to travel to the inner ring of Dongfangdu.

   Zhang Wei also did not expect that Gao Xiaoping's network of contacts on Beichong Island could not match the fatigue of a long trip.

   The second thing is to ask Gao Xiaoping to come to the law firm for a mock trial.

   But overall, the effect is very unsatisfactory.

   Gao Xiaoping is a woman with a bad temper, otherwise she would not anger Guo Wufeng in front of her when she moved.

   said it was not very good, but it was a compliment to her.

   Her mentality should have been affected by the case.

   Originally worked well on Bei Chong Island, but because Bei Chong Island was merged by Dongfang, she would not only lose her job, but also be subject to judicial prosecution. This is simply a disaster.

   Her temper is good.

   And this also gave Zhang Wei a headache, because he imitated the prosecution to ask questions, Gao Xiaoping would explode in his mind without asking a few words, and immediately returned angrily.

   This performance is very bad.

   Once the jury finds that Gao Xiaoping is not a qualified midwife, or that she is short-tempered and easily influenced by her emotions, it is very likely that the delivery of babies and mothers will be in danger.

   So overall, Zhang Wei thinks this is difficult.

   Municipal Court, Criminal Division.

   When Zhang Wei brought his client, Gao Xiaoping, to the court, there were already quite a few people sitting in the hearing bench.

   In the first row, all of them are friends from the Criminal Department.

  Except for Kai Tie Ruyun, who was busy with his department work and did not show up, Xiao Li and his apprentice, including more than 20 newcomers, were present.

   These newcomers are all holding notes, and they are generally modest and eager to learn.

   Of course, as a case in which Guo Wufeng personally acted, a few people came to watch the battle from the District Prosecution Headquarters.

   Among them, Zhao Chunming sat in the middle with a serious face, obviously coming to cheer on his old teammates.

   Seeing Zhao Chunming, Zhang Wei muttered in his heart, the prosecution has such a big advantage, don't you feel relieved, old Zhao, and want to come and supervise yourself?

   In the prosecution seat next door, Guo Wufeng also glanced at the auditorium.

   "Lawyer Zhang, there are a lot of people in your department, but the level is a bit inferior, they should all be newcomers!"

"But in today's lawsuit, you should have lost. These newcomers may only see the scene of your defeat. In other words, will you ask them to write a summary report and let you go back to study every day? How are you doing? lose"

  Before the war, the two armies had a saying that they called the battle before the war.

   Guo Wufeng is provoking Zhang Wei right now.

The advantage of    is too great, he wants to shiver.

   "Lao Guo, you too, this morning is the pre-trial, and the trial will only be held in the afternoon, so don't be so fussy, right?"

   "Hey, anyway, the winner can be decided today, so you still need to think about how you can make your loss not ugly!"

  Guo Wufeng sneered, seeing that Zhang Wei was not in the trap, he withdrew his provocative thoughts.

   On the other hand, Zhang Wei glanced at Gao Xiaoping, who was sitting next door, with some helplessness in his eyes.

   After a few minutes, the time is up.

   "Stand up!"

  As the court guard announced, the young Judge Liu walked into the scene.

   He swept the hearing booth roughly and clicked his tongue secretly.

  Good guy, so many people came, and there were people on both sides of the court.

   The young judge felt pressure.

   Especially after seeing Zhao Chunming's expression in the center of the hearing box, he was even more frightened.

   He is just a new judge who was transferred from the district court some time ago.

  I thought it was a small case this time, but I didn't expect it to be tricky, especially the pressure on him from both the prosecution and the defense was really great.

   "Cough, what, what, I want to explain, considering the influence of the case and the consumption of judicial resources, this court decided to adopt an expedited trial method for this case after a meeting and discussion."

   "So this morning, we will select the jury, and after lunch, the trial will begin. The prosecution will make a case statement. I hope both parties will know!"

  Although the news has been notified to both the prosecution and the defense through text messages over the weekend, the necessary procedures still have to be followed.

"In the previous motion procedure, I already knew the arguments of both the prosecution and the defense. The prosecution advocated that Ms. Gao Xiaoping be sentenced to illegal practice of medicine and negligence, causing the death of a newborn baby, as well as knowing the law and breaking the law. The defense will conduct a guilty defense, and I hope the court The sentence can be reduced as appropriate!"

   "Excuse me, the prosecution and defense, do you still need to revise the court defense?"

   "Your Excellency, the prosecution does not need to change!"

   "Your Honor, the defense doesn't need it either!"

   Seeing that there is no problem with both the prosecution and the defense, Judge Liu nodded.

   "Then, let the candidate jury in!"

  As the judge indicated, the court guard immediately arranged for the candidate jurors to appear in court.

   "Hey, why are there so many people?"

  Zhang Wei glanced around and found that there were only 15 candidates on the jury.

   "Judge Liu, how do you select the number of jurors..."

   "Cough, defense attorney, today is Monday, and many people are busy with work, so there are only so many intended jurors present. But it doesn't matter, we only need 12 people, and you can filter out 3 people!"

   Hearing Judge Liu's explanation, Zhang Wei was speechless for a while.

It doesn't matter what    is called, it's very relevant, okay, it's a big deal.

   3 out of 15 people are removed, and the remaining 12 people cannot be changed.

   For him, this limits his advantage in being able to screen the jury.

   It seems that it is because the new judges are incompetent, and they have no ability to guarantee the short list of candidates for the jury.

   "Why, isn't Lawyer Zhang afraid that he can't use your wild questions to screen prospective jurors?"

Guo Wufeng on the side of    took the opportunity to sneer and sneer, as if to vent his previous deflation and want to get everything back from someone this time.

   Zhang Wei was naturally too lazy to pay attention to him, and walked to the jury calmly.

   "Jurors, I will ask a quick answer question. Please raise your hands actively to speak, okay?"

  15 jurors, many of them nodded.

   "Okay, may I ask everyone, what brand of mother and baby products do you or your lover like to use?"

   "I like to use 'baby cards'!"

   "I like to use the 'Good Mom Card'!"

   "My wife likes to use the 'Golden Little Sun Card'!"

   Immediately, two women and a man raised their hands and answered very quickly.

   Seeing the speed of the three, Zhang Wei nodded with satisfaction and smiled at the three.

   Then, he turned to look at the tribunal, the smile on his face quickly faded:

   "Your Majesty, we thank the three for their answers, and ask the three jurors to leave!"

"this…"

   Judge Liu was stunned to see Zhang Wei turning his face as fast as he turned a book.

  Is this a typical turning face and not recognizing someone?

   And this screening is too fast, right? One question is screened out?

   "Okay, the three of you please leave!"

   However, Judge Liu did not object to the jury being screened at once. After asking the three to leave the jury bench, he knocked the hammer to announce the end of the pre-trial.

   "Cough cough, at one o'clock in the afternoon, we will have a court session on time after lunch, everyone, let's go to the rest meeting first!"

  The court began to dissolve one after another.

   On the hearing stand, the newcomers also gathered near the defense stand.

   "Lawyer Zhang, why did you ask this question just now? Why do you ask about maternal and infant products?"

   Among the newcomers, Su Xiaoqian, the most active girl, immediately asked with a wink.

   "Can't you see this?"

   "See what?"

  Zhang Wei smiled, and then explained: "If I guessed correctly, the prosecution will definitely make a fuss about the baby who died. Of course, I can only eliminate those who value family and children."

   "But when I asked the question, I didn't ask it directly, because the jury might be on guard against me. That's why I asked them about their favorite mother and baby products, which also served the purpose and reduced the jury's vigilance."

   Hearing Zhang Wei's answer, a group of newcomers showed a sudden look, and some of them even wrote and recorded it.

   "Let's go, let's go to lunch, there's still a tough battle after dinner!"

   Zhang Wei waved his hand and left the court with the client.
