If you were asked to file a lawsuit, how come you were not found guilty?

Chapter 19
"Prosecutor?"

Huang Jing didn't speak for a long time after standing up, and Zhang Lixia reminded him again.

"For the newly submitted evidence by the defender"

Huang Jing hesitated for a while and finally spoke:

“There is no objection to evidence one and two, and there is no objection to the legality and relevance of evidence three, but its objectivity is not recognized.”

“There is no objection to the relevance of Evidence [-] and [-], but there are objections to the legality and objectivity.”

Although his mentality has quietly changed, Huang Jing did not forget his responsibilities as a public prosecutor and still expressed his cross-examination opinions in an extremely professional manner.

Otherwise, do you want the prosecutor to say in court that he believes the defendant is innocent?
"Especially for that recording, even if the recorder is submitted, even if the recording is true, the recording was secretly recorded and the means of acquisition was illegal. The prosecutor believes that the evidence is extremely flawed."

Hearing this, Ren Zhen couldn't help but interrupt him: "Although the recording was secretly recorded, the law does not seem to stipulate that secretly recorded recordings cannot be used as evidence, right?"

Huang Jing paused and reacted immediately.

A few years ago, evidence obtained through secret recording was indeed illegal evidence.

Especially in criminal proceedings, if this kind of evidence wants to be recognized by the court, it needs to give a reasonable explanation as to why it takes this form, and then the judge will make a decision whether to accept it.

Moreover, during that period, most of the people who used this method to obtain evidence were law enforcement parties who had no choice but to do so.

But that was before.

After the corresponding legal provisions and judicial interpretations have been gradually improved, secretly recorded recordings can now be directly submitted as evidence in both criminal proceedings and civil proceedings.

Under the inertia of previous case handling, Huang Jing subconsciously regarded the recording submitted by Ren Zhen as illegal evidence.

After all, how many lawyers will personally collect evidence?
How can you be so serious?

How much does it cost to do a case? Is it necessary to fight so hard?
"According to my country's current laws and regulations, secretly recorded recordings can be used as evidence as long as they do not infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of others and do not violate the prohibitive provisions of the law."

Ren Zhen has studied the laws of this world for a long time.

Naturally, it is impossible to make such a stupid mistake.

This is his consistent style of handling cases.

Ren Zhen would not bring such crucial evidence to court if there was even the slightest possibility that it would be rejected by the judge.

This recording will definitely be admitted as evidence now. It is nothing more than a question of the strength of the proof.

"The discussion about this recording will be skipped for now, and the prosecutor can continue to express his cross-examination opinions."

Seeing that the situation was about to freeze, Zhang Lixia made a timely decision.

Ren Zhen nodded and stopped talking.

After being interrupted by Ren Zhen, Huang Jing's subsequent questioning seemed much lower.

"Okay, then the court investigation will end here."

The investigation, which was expected to be very smooth, finally came to an end after experiencing several twists and turns.

Zhang Lixia breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Huang Jing's mood was not very high, Zhang Lixia couldn't help but look at the lawyer at the defense table who picked up the thermos cup.

At first I just thought this young lawyer was a bit interesting and had some different ideas from ordinary people.

Even at the beginning of the trial, he was thought to be a rookie.

Who knew that in just one hour, Ren Zhen would change his image in everyone's mind.

"Could it be that the first trial of this case was really wrong?"

When Zhang Lixia first received the notice of second instance, she thought that this case would be like most appeal cases and the original verdict would be upheld.

But now it seems that this may not be the case.

After discussing with the other two judges, Zhang Lixia banged the gavel:

"In view of the fact that the defender has submitted new evidence, the trial will now be adjourned for three to 10 minutes, and the trial court will verify the newly submitted evidence."

Ren Zhen picked up the thermos cup, took a sip, and stretched.

This was also what he expected.Regarding the newly submitted evidence, no matter how vivid and reasonable what was said just now, the trial court still needs to verify it.

Especially the recording and surveillance. If nothing else goes wrong, even the surveillance at the property and pharmacy will be dismantled and sent directly over within an hour.

Half an hour is probably not enough.

Wen Xuan, who was in the dock, had already raised her head and looked at her parents in the auditorium with some excitement.

No matter what the previous encounters were, this trial is the most worthy of attention right now.

Wen Mingyang and Jiang Xiuzhen were also trembling at this time, and their four hands were tightly held together.

Does our daughter not have to die?
The gray-haired middle-aged couple held back the tears in their eyes and whispered comfort to their daughter, who was wearing prison uniforms.

The eyes of the three people would look towards Ren Zhen from time to time.

After all, all hope now lies with this cheap lawyer!

Facing three pairs of eyes full of hope but fear, Ren Zhen felt helpless.

Do you want to look at me like this?
Is it easy to cut a big pear?
Huang Jing, who was in the prosecutor's seat, was carefully looking through all the materials in front of him and communicating with the assistant next to him from time to time.

Huang Jing couldn't figure it out.

How could a perfectly good murder case suddenly turn into a rape?

And this point seems obvious, but why has no one mentioned it before?
Murder, fighting, self-defense, bedroom
Each scene played in his mind like a movie, and Huang Jing suddenly thought of it.

So smooth!
It’s because it’s so smooth!

Regarding whether Zhang Wenhai's behavior towards Wen Xuan constituted rape, Huang Jing had raised this issue with his colleagues when Wen Xuan had just been detained and sent to the Public Prosecution Office for prosecution.

But first of all, the incidence of marital rape in past cases was too low, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

Secondly, Wen Xuan was very cooperative after being detained and directly admitted that she had killed someone.

Next, the transfer for prosecution was very smooth.

The first trial went very smoothly.

No one mentioned rape at all.

The defense won't mention it, and they won't bring it up on their own initiative.

After all, it is their duty to send murderers to prison.

Does the prosecutor still have to help the defendant find reasons to escape guilt?

So the case was decided smoothly.

no problem.

After all, most of the cases handled in the past went so smoothly.

But precisely because it goes so smoothly from beginning to end, as long as one link is refuted, it will cause a chain reaction.

And Ren Zhen accurately found the butterfly wings that caused the tornado.

Finally finding the problem, Huang Jing suddenly felt a little funny.

It turns out that handling a case so smoothly can turn into trouble?
But even so.

Wen Xuan may not be able to escape so easily!

Huang Jing already had a certain idea in his mind.

Someone died and someone must be responsible!
Although there were too many unexpected situations in today's court hearing, Huang Jing quickly thought of countermeasures.

Looking at the evidence on the electronic screen, Huang Jing silently organized his thoughts in his mind.

Suddenly, Huang Jing seemed to think of something, and quickly told the prosecutor's assistant something in a low voice.

The prosecutor's assistant was startled at first, then stood up and left in a hurry.
