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

Chapter 69 Start!

The public prosecution agency filed a protest, and this case finally took the first step.

Although the protest does not definitely mean the start of a retrial, based on Di Ming's tone on the phone and the particularity of this case, Ren Zhen knew that the matter was probably done.

Zhai Ming did not say anything clearly on the phone. In fact, he had no way of predicting what the court's final decision would be.

But Zhai Ming asked them to be prepared. This sentence showed the confidence of the public prosecution agency to a certain extent.

After all, Shi Hao's case has gone back and forth so many times since the first trial five years ago.

Now that I have been released from prison, I am still persisting in my appeal. There must be some pressure on the court.

Now that the G City Public Prosecution Office has filed a protest, although it seems to be at odds with the court, more importantly, it also shares the pressure of the court to a certain extent.

It is tantamount to the public prosecution agency giving a step up to the trial agency.

It depends on whether you can stand it or not.

If you continue to insist on not initiating a retrial, it can only be said to be a bit stubborn.

After all, in Ren Zhen's analysis, this case is far from a solid case.

He didn't believe that the G City Intermediate Court was so confident and determined that there was no problem with this case.

G City Intermediate Court.

in an office.

In the small room, Liu Lin was pacing back and forth, walking from the door to the window, and then from the window to the door.

Leather shoes hit the floor, and the sound of "ta da da da" became more and more intensive.

"I said, Lao Liu, can you sit down and calm down for a while? It's really noisy."

Liu Lin's anxiety gave the frowning middle-aged man at the desk an even greater headache.

"I also want to stop. It's not me who's causing the problem!"

Liu Lin responded dully, walked to the air conditioner, and pressed "di, di, di, di, di, di" several times.

It wasn't until the number on the display turned to 16 that Liu Lin finally sat down across from the desk.

"President, tell me, why is Shi Hao so unwilling to listen to advice? Everyone has come out, why bother? If you give up on this, can't you just live an honest life?"

Liu Lin rubbed his eyebrows with a look of despair.

Zhao Yiwen looked at the A4 paper passed by the public prosecution agency on the table and felt a headache.

Just the day before yesterday, we had discussed with several judges and rejected Shi Hao's retrial application. Today we received a protest application from the Public Prosecution Court.

Zhao Yiwen was speechless.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have dismissed it in a hurry.

And the G City Public Prosecution Office, couldn’t they have told us about the protest earlier?

Isn't this a slap in the face?
Especially hitting me, the president of the court, in the face.

"It's one thing for Shi Hao not to give up. It's not easy for him to find that lawyer."

Zhao Yiwen thought about the phone calls he made just now, and Ren Zhen had a rough image in his mind:

"Just thinking about it, I know that most experienced lawyers would not be willing to take a case like Shi Hao's if they had a little understanding of it, no matter how much money they offered, it is no longer a matter of money.

And this lawyer named Ren Zhen not only accepted Shi Hao's commission, he also acted decisively.

Judging from the time, they should have gone directly to the Public Prosecution Court without wasting any time after coming to see you. "

Zhao Yiwen thought for a moment and shook his head: "Do ordinary lawyers think this way?"

Liu Lin sighed: "Indeed, ordinary lawyers must try their best to meet with the judge more times, chat with the judge more, and let the judge rely on his own point of view as much as possible. How can they be like this? They just came to the court. I turned around and went to the Public Prosecution Court again. Isn’t this putting one’s feet in two different places?”

Liu Lin's inappropriate metaphor left the president speechless for three seconds.

Is it really appropriate for you, an old person who is 50 or [-] years old, to use this metaphor in court?

Liu Lin didn't notice Zhao Yiwen's silence: "This lawyer should have been sure from the beginning that we would not agree to their retrial application, so he immediately went to the public prosecution agency to make efforts.

Although it is a bit unconventional, in theory it is the most suitable strategy.

But if this happens, we will be embarrassed here, what should we do?"

"Then what else can we do?"

Zhao Yiwen scratched his head, and a few white hairs floated to the table:

"Then let's go to trial. The opinions of the Public Prosecution Court should still be taken seriously.

And since they have filed a protest, it means that they must have different considerations from ours, and they feel that there are some aspects of this case that need to be clarified. "

Pinch up those few white hairs and throw them into the trash can. The more Zhao Yiwen thought about it, the more irritated he became.

I will retire next year, can’t you just let me go in peace and quiet?
In the last two years, I have been put on such a difficult case.

Trouble.
"Then that's the end of the matter?"

After learning that the G City Public Prosecution Court filed a protest, Liu Lin guessed that the consequences would be like this, but he still had to discuss it with the president.

"Well, that's it."

Zhao Yiwen shivered and quickly stood up and raised the air conditioner by 10 degrees:
"You will be the presiding judge of this case. I will take a look and see who has fewer cases recently. Find two people to join you."

"Okay, then I'll go back and prepare."

I was responsible before, but now I have to go to trial again. It is expected that the chief trial will fall on myself.

Standing up and walking to the door, Liu Lin suddenly stopped, hesitated, and then spoke:
"President Zhao, do you want to discuss this case with Lao Yang?"

"Old Yang?"

Zhao Yiwen reacted for a few seconds and suddenly said: "At that time, Judge Yang was in charge of the second trial, right?"

Liu Lin nodded.

After all, so many years have passed, and it is inevitable that there will be some inconsiderations if we only analyze it based on the materials on paper.

Even though the video of the court hearing from five years ago is still available, most of the work on a case was completed out of court.

Communicating with the presiding judge at that time will definitely be helpful for a deeper understanding of this case.

"Judge Yang has retired for three or four years, so it may not be appropriate to find him."

Zhao Yiwen touched his beard and thought for a few seconds:
"I think it's better not to go to Judge Yang. The second trial of this case didn't take much time, so he might have forgotten all about the case.

You can contact the Xincheng District Court and meet with the first-instance judge from that year. Maybe it will be more helpful. "

Liu Lin thought for a while and realized that this suggestion was indeed possible.

Some of the judgments of the first-instance court on the case may not be correct, but in terms of their understanding of the case, they are definitely much better than if they only look at the evidence and the judgment.

Moreover, it is normal for the superior and lower courts to report cases and study and judge cases, and there are no major scruples.

After leaving President Zhao's office, Liu Lin immediately informed the judge's assistant and clerk, asking them to contact the parties and the G City Public Prosecution Office to inform them of the confirmation of the retrial.

"The big project is coming!"

Liu Lin made himself a cup of strong tea, put the thick file on the table, and dialed the phone.
