The Lawyer

Chapter 68: George Manson Case (3)

Yan Suizhi's tone is too light and too calm, just like talking about a certain fact that has been very determined, and does not "shake too obviously" at all.

From the performance to the tone to the content of the speech, it is completely different from the situation envisaged by the prosecution lawyer Bud. So that his "politely nearly perfect" smile immediately solidified on his face.

Two seconds later, Brewer Manson in the auditorium slowly passed.

The assistant spoke for him: "What is this intern doing?"

It ’s not that the sentence “My client is innocent” is so shocking, nor is it so emphasized that the result will come true, but that the well-known and sound law is put there, this intern does not need to pick the kind of trouble , This is a bit unexpected.

But soon the assistant was happy again, quietly pointed to the front row, and said to Brewer Manson: "I now believe that Mr. Gu has not intervened in the case, look at the boss ..."

Brewer Manson looked at him with his finger and saw that after the intern finished his opening statement, Gu Yan pressed his temple with his finger.

From their point of view, only Gu Yan's back side can be seen, and his expression cannot be clearly seen. Of course, as far as Gu Yan's character is concerned, even if he sits opposite him, he may not see any expression. But the movement of rubbing the temple fully reflected his helplessness.

"He seems to have a headache for the intern." The assistant said, "I doubt ... he may not agree with the intern's approach."

Brewer Manson snorted between his noses, and when his eyes fell on the defense bench again, it was a bit ridiculous and good-looking-

In a sense, Gu Yan's reaction just reassured them.

Yan Suizhi finished the sentence without mentioning anything else, and nodded to the judge to sit down.

In fact, he made this opening statement for a reason--

The last time Joshua Dall ’s case had the background of the unique style of action of the wine city. From the judge to the police and even to the jury, there was a slight tendency. The **** was crooked from the beginning. It is not a good thing if it is too strong confrontation, so Gu Yan's approach is the most suitable.

But this time is different. Lyra Star is much brighter than Jiucheng. The law is more open here, and the jury and judge are relatively fair. But this means that they are more likely to sway their attitudes with evidence, which is precisely where Chen Zhang is at a disadvantage. If the prosecution's defense lawyer is a person who is good at handling the jury's psychology, he will definitely throw out Chen Zhang's confession directly at the beginning.

This is the easiest thing to provoke an attitude tendency. Once released, the jury will immediately stand on the opposite side of Chen Zhang, presumably presuming him to be guilty. Every subsequent argument was a tug-of-war tug-of-war. Bud Seng would continue to drag them towards the "guilty" side. Yan Sui's victory would pull them back a little.

But obviously, if you want to pull it back, you have to go a long way.

Now, Yan Suizhi's decisive opening statement is doing similar things, giving the jury a preconceived skepticism, the shorter the sentence, the stronger the impact. In this way, when Bud throws evidence behind, the jury will at least hesitate before standing in line.

When Yan Suizhi sorted the seat and sat down, Yu Guang glanced at Gu Yan's finger just leaving the temple.

He twitched the corner of his mouth, leaned back on the back of the chair relaxedly, and raised his **** without looking back.

"..."

A moment later, Gu Yan in the back row leaned forward, his breath close to his neck.

Yan Suizhi barely moved her lips and said in a very light voice: "Don't have a headache, rest assured, I'm not kidding in the defense."

He was just more casual, but he never joked about trials involving personal freedom or even life and death. Every sentence he said in court had his consideration.

Gu Yan knew of course that his headache was not this.

He wanted to say to Yan Suizhi, "You are a little more convergent."

But in fact, since wrapped in Ruan Ye's skin, Yan Suizhi has too much to converge, obviously there are a few houses that can't live, there are obviously a lot of assets that can't be used, and there are obviously countless friends Students are inconvenient to contact.

After going back and forth to the end, the less restrictive is actually the defense seat of the court ...

Yan Suizhi could feel that Gu Yan moved his lips behind him, and seemed to want to say something, but in the end, apart from the breath of breath falling gently behind him, Gu Yan did not rush to speak.

After a while, the prosecution lawyer had stood up, and there was already one more person on the witness stand. Gu Yan's voice came low from the back, "You are free."

Yan Suizhi was stunned for a moment, and then recovered when the prosecutor's lawyer Bud spoke.

Standing on the witness stand was a police officer from the third district police station with the surname Guan.

Bard certainly knows how to fight such a case, the easiest way to get the jury to him.

The intern on the opposite side didn't play cards according to common sense, and he was so uncomfortable that he didn't try his best. He planned to make a quick decision. So the first thing he dumped was nothing but Chen Zhang's confession.

When seeing the identity of a police officer, Yan Suizhi raised an eyebrow.

"Sergeant Guan Wenji, identity number 117765290, the confession transcript of the defense party is your signature responsible?" Bud asked.

"Yes, it's me."

Guan Wenji was born to be a tall man with a big eyebrow and stork eyes. Maybe he was under pressure to deal with the case on weekdays. He was used to the expression of frowning and frowning. Even on the witness stand, he gave people a feeling of inhuman pressure. The confession couldn't be more normal.

"The defendant Chen Zhang confessed all crimes truthfully within 36 hours?" Bud put the written confession on the holographic screen. The words and sentences that Chen Zhang said at the time were recorded on it, enough for the jury. The regiment could see clearly.

Guan Wenji nodded: "Yes, this is a very smooth confession in the case we deal with. Generally speaking, people who think they are non-repudiation will behave like this. Of course, we are very pleased with this."

His voice was dumb, and it sounded like he should have been busy all night and hadn't rested much. His eyes were bloodshot, his stubble covered his chin, and he looked very tired.

This person's way of speaking is very skillful, knowing when to be decisive, when to be euphemistic, even the attitude towards Chen Zhang is very peaceful, which makes it easy to draw the favor of the jury What he said was more convincing.

Even ... the content of his words actually contains leading words.

Those who are willing to believe him will unconsciously print the phrase "those who believe they are undeniable" into their minds.

"Aside from you, who else is involved in the process of confessions?" Bard asked.

Lawyers do not really want to know what information they want to ask about the witnesses. In fact, they know the information clearly when they contact the case materials and preliminary preparations. Every question they ask is for the jury.

They hope that the jury will know what is going on and what details will be remembered, which will be reflected in the way of inquiry.

Guan Wenji replied in a straightforward way: "There are two other police officers. The confession participants are not the same on several occasions. I am the person in charge, so these are only my signatures, but the more complete documents have everyone ’s signatures. After all, if If I were alone, the confession could not be counted. We cannot treat Mr. Chen Zhang in this way, even though he is sitting in the position of the suspect. "

He not only answered the questions, but also actively explained the parts that may be used as vulnerabilities. His attitude is very good. Bard also found a page with several signatures, and then nodded in the direction of the jury.

"Is the defense party awake when making the confession?" Bud asked, and then immediately answered, "I mean he has any problems with drunkenness, taking hallucinogens, or mental illness?"

When I heard this question from Bard, Yan Suizhi struck the chin with his chin-like fingers twice, and the good-looking eyes narrowed slightly, thoughtfully, but with a little smile at the corner of his mouth, but only by his fingers Covered.

So that when Bud looked up, he only saw his squinted eyes, thinking he was worrying, and suddenly even raised his tail tone, and looked like a steady winner.

Guan Wenji shook his head and denied that at this time, his decisiveness was very useful: "No drunkenness, no use of any hallucinogens, no mental illness. In fact, in order to detect the case more cautiously, we did a comprehensive medical evaluation of Mr. Chen Zhang. You know, the appraisal equipment is detailed in every aspect, even including Chen Zhang ’s night vision and visual acuity, not to mention mental illness. "

"You are very responsible, thank you." Bud said.

He followed the confession and Chen Zhang's performance and asked Guan Wenji some questions.

It can be seen that throughout the entire set of interrogation process, Bard hopes to give the jury several impressions-Chen Zhang confessed his guilt very quickly and was very obedient. Oppressed, and Chen Zhang was sober when recording his confession.

This makes the confession content reliable.

While Bud sat down, he quietly observed the expressions of the jury members, and he could see that basically all the messages he wished to convey were reached.

Not only him, Yan Suizhi glanced at the jury, but also felt that the purpose of Bard's inquiry had been achieved.

Once the suspect pleaded guilty to death, the entire case was basically nothing to reverse.

See, quick battle.

Bud whistled in his heart.

The judge's eyes fell back on Yan Suizhi, "It's your turn, Mr. Ruan Ye."

Yan Suizhi nodded and stood up. He didn't rush to open his mouth to ask, but first looked up and down Guan Wenji on the witness stand.

Guan Wenji was uncomfortable by him, frowning at him.

"Sergeant Guan Wenji?" Yan Suizhi was stunned for a few seconds before finally speaking slowly. "I have read some simple information before, including yours. Have you ever been punished by the police station once?"

Guan Wenji withdrew his gaze: "... Yes."

"I saw that incident was characterized as violent?" Yan Suizhi said again.

Guan Wenji: "... Yes."

"Because of a disagreement in one case, you clashed with your colleagues, so you gave each other a punch?"

"Correct."

Yan Suizhi smiled and asked Wen Wen: "Are you a quick-tempered and easily irritated person?"

Guan Wenji: "..."

How to answer such a question just after **** black history?

And not to mention Bard ’s lawyer, even he can see the defense lawyer ’s routine from this question-first use some facts to make him admit that he is grumpy, and then turn to if the other party ’s behavior is not satisfactory. How impatient, even threatening to do it, and then turning to confessions, he may also reveal some intentionally or unintentionally, so that it has caused Chen Zhang's psychological "torture torture" effect ...

He is too clear about this routine.

So Guan Wenji thought about it, took a deep breath, and slowed down his attitude. "Actually not. If you check more information carefully, you will find that I was in a bad state that day. I couldn't sleep the night before the incident. I believe you all can understand that under excessive fatigue, your mental state is not good and your emotions are out of control. Sometimes you do some abnormal things. In fact, I was not sober at that time. Afterwards, how did I even punch myself? Because I ca n’t remember anything. "

When he said that, the hell's defense lawyer nodded very sympathetically. The most **** thing is that the other party actually followed his words and said to him, "It is true, and that thing has passed for a long time, I remember it seems Was it 5 years ago? At the third police station? "

What are you doing?

Guan Wenji was a little confused about the other party's intentions. The overnight case made him very unclear at the moment. Just like Bard's inquiry, he was mentally prepared, so he can cope well and is not slow. At this moment he was a little dazed.

He froze and nodded, "Yes, yes, that's right."

After subconsciously answering, he felt something was wrong. It wasn't until he saw the other's defense lawyer nodded again, what information was prepared to press the player, he responded and changed his mouth: "Ah! Sorry, not in the third district police station, below the primary police station on East 1st Street below . I had n’t been transferred to the third district police station then. ”

Yan Suizhi smiled and shook the document paper in his hand, saying: "Well, I almost released it, you changed it in time."

Guan Wenji: "..."

"So you're mentally ill now?" Yan Suizhi put aside the sheet of paper in her hand and continued to ask, "How long have you not rested?"

Guan Wenji argued: "I have been chasing a case, and I haven't closed my eyes until now. It's been 28 hours. What I just said is that it's normal to be mentally unwell and not sober under the condition of excessive fatigue. Understand. But you see, I have n’t lost my temper now because of your annoying old case. It can be seen that this time was really accidental, and my temper was not bad, and if I was really an explosive and irritable person, It is impossible to be transferred to the third police station if you make such a mistake. On this point, people from all police stations can testify, and I do n’t have to lie. "

He said, as if he had found Ping Yi, because he saw several of the jury nodded and seemed to agree with him. So he simply blocked the defense lawyer another way, "Also, although I am now in a state of excessive fatigue, there may be some errors in the oral, but the answers to the confession just now are no problem, because Corresponding evidence can be found at every point, and the ones Mr. Bud put on the holographic screen just now are the best proof. "

After he finished speaking, he had calmed down, and he looked up slightly at the young defense lawyer on the opposite side.

After such an explanation, the other party can no longer use "violent forced confession" as a breakthrough, nor can it use the "untestable testimony in court" to criticize the previous question.

Yan Suizhi: "So there is no problem with the content, signature, and even date information of these confessions on the holographic screen?"

Guan Wenji: "Of course, it is impossible to make mistakes in these submitted documents, and we will not allow mistakes."

Yan Suizhi nodded his head, directly adjusted the play button, straightened the confession on the holographic screen, picked up the head and end of each copy, directly marked the time information accurate to the minute and second, and pointed with an electronic pen After a while, said: "Let's take a look at these confession documents that are absolutely correct ..."

"The first confession start time is 23:11:29 pm on December 7th, Lyrics time, and the end time is 04:19:11 am on December 8th. The second confession start time is 04:42:01. The interval was less than half an hour. This time the confession was recorded for 7 hours, and then the third confession began after less than half an hour ... "

"A total of five confessions, the longest interval between each 42 minutes, the shortest 10 minutes, my client pleaded guilty in the last confession, it took 36 hours before and after." Yan Suizhi slowed down, listening The words are clear, "Before that, there are a series of procedures after the arrest of the suspect. Let's get rid of the fractions. There are 42 hours in total. The arrest video is proof, am I right?"

Guan Wenji: "... No."

"Thank you for your answer." Yan Suizhi raised his eyebrows: "The prosecution lawyer Mr. Bard asked a very interesting question before. He said," Is the defense party sober? " Drunk, smoking hallucinogens, insane. '"

Yan Suizhi smiled, "A very clever concept was changed. Officer Guan Wenji denied the latter three, which would give people a wrong perception-my client, Mr. Chen Zhang, was sober when recording his confession."

"Guanguan, you just said such a sentence two minutes ago."

Yan Suizhi looked down at the document, found the page that the court reporter had just jotted down, ticked one of them, and then zoomed in three times on the full screen. The visual impact was a little shocked, which caused a whisper in the court. .

Yan Sui's head was not raised, and he joked while placing the sheet of paper: "Don't call, be quiet."

On the holographic screen, Guan Wenji's speech in the inquiry just now is as big as a fight: I believe you can understand that under excessive fatigue, the mental state is not good and the emotions are out of control. Sometimes I do some abnormal things. In fact, I At that time, I was not awake at all. Afterwards, I couldn't even remember how I punched.

"So Guan Guan—" Yan Suizhi dropped the documents in his hand and raised his eyes to Guan Wenji: "I hope you look at what you said and answer me with the most objective and fair attitude, 42 hours of sleepless Endlessly, is it awake? "

Guan Wenji: "..............."
