The Lawyer - Chapter 205
As long as it is not unreasonable, most people are easily persuaded.
Although Gu Yan’s remarks were not long and did not deliberately express emotions, at least some people listened and followed suit.
So in the opening statement of the past, the sentiment evoked by Lawyer Gunter has calmed down, even more rationally than before the court.
This does not mean that the prejudice is completely eliminated, but it does not agree with the prosecution.
“This Gunter, I have dealt with him.” In the area where the first-level lawyer sits, a big man said in a low voice, “His defense skills are not very high, but it is very emotional. This makes him It ’s almost invincible in some fields. This case is very suitable for him, because there are emotions that can instigate. If he is caught at the beginning of the rhythm, it will be very troublesome. The defense lawyer just insulted him just now The blaze is small, I bet he will have another wave in the next round. ”
Sure enough, Gunter took a path that he wanted to carry forward.
He first put a few irrelevant evidences. These evidences have a common feature-marginalization, which cannot directly explain that the defendant has infringed on the victim, but it is indeed irrefutable.
So after the evidence was released, every time the defense lawyer spoke, Dean made a few remarks anyway. Gu Yan, a nonsense person, always threw out a sentence “I have no problem” and passed.
This rhythm of inquiry will instill a sense of consciousness-the evidence on the prosecution side is very hard, and the confidence is very sufficient. You see, from the opening to the present, several rounds of evidence are put down, and the defense lawyer has nothing to say.
So there was buzz in the hearing.
Even Dean couldn’t help but look at Gu Yan several times, not to mention that he wanted to thank him for letting him out on stage, or even begged him to open up a golden mouth.
Otherwise the rhythm is finished by the prosecution, they also argue a fart.
Gunter saw the time was almost up and dumped a video while it was hot.
This video was shot very early, shown at 9 pm on October 12, and was shot on the west side of the Emerald Valley in the northern hemisphere of Helansing, with the focus on the derelict warehouse there.
This is one of the scenes of the shaking head case. A total of 23 victims in this warehouse were arrested one after another in mid-to-late September.
They had an accident early, but because the location was too remote, they were discovered at the latest and were rescued almost a month later.
This video is the rescue process filmed by the police station.
Both Gu Yan on the defense bench and Yan Suizhi on the hearing bench have watched the complete video content.
When the old people were released from their cages, their expressions were dazed and distressed, as if they had been in darkness for so long that they didn’t know what happened.
They did not know whether the people were good or bad, but they instinctively backed away, hiding around indiscriminately, and even pushing and kicking rescuers.
They finally put them on a stretcher, and they suddenly fell silent again, curling up into a small ball, arms around their heads. This may be the only posture they can protect themselves.
When watching this video, Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan were very uncomfortable. I believe anyone who saw the video would have the same mood.
Gunter chose to put this video in court at this moment. The purpose is obvious.
As the first-level lawyer said, he is very good and likes to incite emotions.
But at the same time, his move was a bit more risky.
Because the proof of this video is a bit weak. In other words, it is not counted as case evidence, it cannot prove the authenticity of a certain action of the defendant, but a very straightforward factual record.
The reason why Gunter wants to put this video is that Gu Yan will not stop it.
He knows that Gu Yan is on the public list of first-level lawyers, and he is currently being haunted by some messy reports. To put it bluntly, what Gu Yan urgently needs to prove is not his ability to defend, but to raise public favorability.
Therefore, Gunter is certain that Gu Yan will not do anything against the popular sentiment in this court trial.
Would Gu Yan prevent him from releasing such a video that conforms to the psychological tendency of the public?
impossible.
Perhaps in the subsequent cross-examination, Gu Yan will try to get back to the scene, but in this round, he can only swallow in a muffled voice, and will never refute anything.
Gunter thought.
The video was posted on the big holographic screen and Gunter waited a few seconds.
When the shaking camera stabilized, the voice became clear, and the old man’s lament and sobs were enough to be heard. Gunter opened his mouth to introduce.
Who knows he hasn’t had time to say a word yet, Gu Yan suddenly raised his hand and gestured.
The judge looked over.
Gu Yan said calmly: “The emotional content of the video is far greater than the evidential content, and the jury applied to avoid it all.”
Gunter: “…”
Fuck.
The judge paused and nodded, “Please leave the jury temporarily.”
All the jury members left in turn in accordance with the regulations and entered the avoiding house through the side door.
Until the jury that decided the trial is empty, no one will be judged by the video with partial emotions, and the paused video can continue to play.
After a video accelerated, the judge pondered for a moment, rushing to Gu Yan and said: “I have to admit that you are right.”
So the video was taken down and the jury was asked to return to the seat again, watching nothing.
Attorney Gunter suffocated his chest.
He silently swallowed the blood back and invited an expert witness.
This is an on-site trace inspection expert.
“Os Goro.” Gunter looked at him.
Golo nodded: “It’s me.”
“Did you do the trace inspection at the warehouse on the west side of the Emerald Valley, that is, the scene No. 7 in this case?”
“Yes. In fact, I was doing all the initial trace inspections on the spot.” Golo added cautiously after saying, “The ones that follow up are not with me.”
“Okay.” Gunter said. “Can you give us a brief description of the scenes as far as you can see?”
Golow: “Dark, humid, and poorly ventilated. Anyone detained in it can easily go crazy beyond a certain time limit. Of course, I don’t mean that the mental problems of the victims in this case are caused by the environment.”
Gunter encouraged: “We understand, please continue.”
“In that environment, fungus activity is extremely high, and wounds are prone to infection. Of course, the good thing is that the traces of the criminals are also easy to retain. In all scenes, there are 7 traces belonging to the defendant No. 1 Fred Jia, belonging to the second There are a total of 115 traces of the defendant Horace Ji … 115. ”
Everyone in the court: “…”
Even the judge’s face was a little paralyzed.
Lawyer Dean couldn’t help but glanced at Gu Yan, saying that fortunately my client was not this one.
Gu Yan just glanced at the information without any disturbance.
Gunter controlled the rhythm again, and waited until everyone in the court had digested the figure before continuing to ask: “What are those traces, can you describe them?”
“Most are footprints, there are a small amount of fiber and skin tissue, and there is also a blood stain.” Golo said: “The scene 7 left the most, which can basically restore the defendant’s state and behavior at that time according to the footprint.”
Attorney Gunter cooperated to release the restoration map of No. 7 on the holographic screen.
Golo nodded and said, “Thank you. This is the trajectory of the defendant’s behavior we made based on the footprint of the scene. It can be seen that the defendant went around almost all the cages at the scene 7. The state is like … The same. ”
Defence lawyers can raise objections to this kind of subjective guess. However, both the prosecution lawyers and the trace inspection experts are familiar with this rule, so they know how to hold the balance, and immediately close the sentence.
No opportunity to raise objections.
Attorney Dean’s face was a bit stinky, but soon returned to normal.
Because the right of inquiry is in his hands.
Dean ’s purpose is very clear, and he made up his mind to push all questions to Horace Ji as much as possible.
He said to Golo: “I don’t have many problems, only two.”
Golo nodded: “You ask.”
“Who do the fibers, skin tissue and blood stains you found on the scene belong to?”
Golow said: “Horace Ji.”
Dean: “So, the arrogant footprint restoration on the 7th, I mean the one around the cage, to whom?”
Golow said: “Horace Ji.”
Dean raised an eyebrow and nodded, “My question is finished, thank you.”
After he finished, he sat down.
The judge looked at Gu Yan: “You can start asking.”
Gu Yan turned a page of information, then raised his head and said to Golo: “I don’t have many problems.”
Golo was stunned for a moment, and it seemed that Gu Yan would say so. He is all ready for a big wave of problems.
“Do you have time to judge the footprint my client left on the scene?”
Golo nodded: “It is certain that it was left on the day of the incident, because during that time, the area where the scene 7 is located is raining, and the traces left are different.”
Gu Yan nodded, “Can it be accurate to a few minutes?”
Golo just opened his mouth, and Gu Yan added: “Just in terms of footprints.”
Golomer closed his mouth silently, thought for a while and said, “It can be limited to the time when it rains, less than a minute or two.”
Gu Yan put the trace test data on the holographic screen so that everyone can see it, and then lined out one line, saying: “The trace test results show that my client left the skin tissue and blood stains on the scene 7 because of the cage Suddenly attacked by the victim without awareness. Is my description accurate? ”
Golo nodded: “Almost.”
“So, can I think of it like this-” Gu Yan’s voice was cold and rational: “The trace evidence left on the 7th site can only confirm one thing, that is, the victim has been violated, and the spirit has been damaged. At a certain moment, my client Mr. Horace Ji was at the scene. ”
Without waiting for Goro’s response, Gunter’s lawyer couldn’t hold up and said, “There is other evidence that Horace Ji was present before.”
Gu Yan glanced at him, “The other evidence says otherwise, not in a hurry. I just need Mr. Golow to give me an answer to this sentence, yes or no.”
This is an expression in disguise: please shut up.
Gunter’s face was not pretty, but forced by the judge’s gaze, he had to sit down first.
Golo was silent for a moment, nodded to Gu Yan and said, “Yes, from this evidence alone, you can think so.”
