First-Class Lawyer - Chapter 209

[Chapter 207: Shaking Shack Weng Case (6)]

Matthew Crow’s face suddenly flushed red, his lips twitched twice, as if he wanted to explain a few words, but in the end he couldn’t hold back a word.

There is no way. At this time, there is a sense of powerlessness in defending everything, and it is difficult to come back hard.

When he was speechless, the prosecution’s lawyer Gunter stood up again, “Let me explain to Mr. Crow, the formation of experience is about too many things, in addition to accumulated qualifications, it is also related to talent.”

Of course , He didn’t really say this to Gu Yan, but to the jury. In order not to let that group of people be taken away by Gu Yan’s words, they turned their backs collectively.

Attorney Gaunt suppressed the tone, and his calm voice is the best when persuading people: “I think whether it is the judge or the jury, including all the listeners here may have experienced this. experience, some people are just gifted in a certain field. Maybe Mr. Crow is naturally sensitive to cars, and just happens to do such a job. As the defendant’s defense attorney said, he has seen cars that are not as good as ours There are a lot of people, but maybe he can tell what car is passing by just by the sound and outline of the engine?”

Gaunt turned his attention to Gu Yan and said, “At least… we can’t categorically deny this kind of car. What do you think about Lawyer Gu?”

Gu Yan glanced at him, not intending to hold on to this point, but nodded gracefully, “Indeed.”

Gaunt probably didn’t expect him to talk so well. He frowned for a moment.

And Matthew Crow, who was stunned on the witness stand, was relieved visibly, and the blood on his face slowly faded away.

So for a moment, he was even grateful to the defense lawyer, thanking the other party for not embarrassing him too much.

And this scene was also caught in the eyes of all the listeners.

In the first-level lawyer’s seat area, Parvin, who had not spoken for a long time, whispered to Yan Suizhi again: “It’s very powerful, this mentality of stop-and-go is too easy to win goodwill, and it will appear very gentleman.”

Yan Suizhi still propped his chin, and smiled when he heard the words: “What does it mean to appear?”

“Okay, it’s a gentleman in essence.” Parvin clicked his tongue, “As expected of your student, you are so young, but you have a good style of behavior. Take care of that degree.”

In Yan Suizhi’s philosophy, the confrontation in court is not the real enemy.

You can expose any flaws, point out any flaws, and make people speechless and silent. But never convict the plaintiff, witnesses or even the opposing lawyer without sufficient evidence.

Just like in the case of Lyra star George Manson, the police officer who gave the defendant Chen Zhang a confession day and night. Under the inquiry environment at that time, Yan Suizhi only needed to add one more sentence to label the other party as “extorting a confession by torture”, but he did not.

Because it is actually difficult for you to confirm whether those who do wrong things and say the wrong things really harbor such deep viciousness.

Evidence can be attacked, but don’t wantonly attack people.

This is an implicit criterion of Yan Suizhi.

This guideline has nothing to do with emotions, psychology and rhythm, or any courtroom skills. It just preserves a trace of goodwill in court.

In fact, Yan Suizhi never mentioned this kind of subjectivity to the students, let alone teaching or imparting it. But he never thought that Gu Yan, who had never learned this, would still turn the same road with him.

This may be regarded as a tacit understanding of it.

So, after Parvin sighed for a while, Yan Suizhi said calmly: “Gu Yan’s behavior has nothing to do with who he is a student, just because he is himself.”

Parvin thought about it, Another tut.

However, this demeanor is not understood by everyone.

In a court with a strong smell of gunpowder, there are always some hellish people who will take this kind of demeanor as a justification and concession.

Like Gaunt.

After the lawyer finished speaking for Matthew Crow, he didn’t sit down, but raised his eyebrows and asked Gu Yan politely: “Since Attorney Gu agrees with what I just said, what about the witnesses? Is this the end of Mr. Law’s inquiry? Allow me to conclude

to the judge and the jury that Mr. Law’s testimony is not infallible in principle.” After saying this, Gu Yan calmly cut him off and said, “No hurry, there are a few last questions.”

“…”

Gaunt took a breath, but he couldn’t let it out.

You are not in a hurry, I am in a fucking hurry!

He thought so in his heart, but he had to maintain basic politeness, and squeezed out an answer: “Then, please continue.”

After Gaunt said this, he was about to sit down, but he heard Gu Yan say: “Wait a minute, there are There are a few questions that Mr. Crow can’t answer, and maybe he needs to ask you for advice.”

“…”

So Gaunt stood up silently before his butt touched the chair.

Matthew Crowe unconsciously folded his stomach and stood at attention, waiting for Gu Yan to open his mouth a little nervously.

“Individual details on the day of the incident, I still need to confirm with you again.” Gu Yan said.

Crowe nodded: “You asked.”

“You said just now that the first rainstorm lasted from 4 o’clock to about 9:20 p.m.?”

“Yes.”

“The rain is sloping and the wind is strong. It took you five full hours to take pictures on the window of the holographic screen?”

“Yes.”

Gu Yan put out a photo of the duty booth and 013 Mountain Road on the holographic screen, and asked, “In the photo, you can see that the duty booth where you work. There are three windows in total, and all three sides were beaten by the rain during the rainstorm?”

Matthew Crowe shook his head, and he pointed to the window in the middle: “I usually face this window, and in front of me is the desk, I remember very clearly, I was lying on the desk that day, and the rain hit me. On the windowpane directly opposite me.”

“Did the rain change during those five hours?”

Crowe shook his head, “No, it kept shooting, it didn’t stop at all, and it didn’t get smaller. It even got bigger and bigger, and finally stopped abruptly, but this is also the characteristic of heavy rain in our area.”

“So, during those five hours, were there any other vehicles driving towards the warehouse?”

“None . ” Are you

sure?”

“Maybe around midnight, I was a little sleepy, so I was a little stunned when you said the two rainstorms, because I don’t really remember the second one.” Matthew Crow finally admitted. He said, “But I swear, I’ve been very awake in the past five hours! It’s just this car, no one else.”

Gu Yan nodded, and brought up the embarrassing photo of the Silver Leopard GTX3, and turned to ask Gang Special: “This is the car that my client Horace Ji used on the day of the crime, right?”

Attorney Gunter said angrily: “Yes, all the traces in the car can testify, and the mud stains outside the car are also Can testify.”

“Is there any evidence that he used another car during the crime?”

Gaunt said decisively: “No, it’s this one.”

Gu Yan: “Okay.”

I don’t know why, but I heard it. Gu Yan said “Okay”, and Gaunt came up in a panic for no reason.

He saw that Gu Yan flipped the play button lightly with his finger, and the silver leopard GTX3 on the screen was doubled, and the mud trails that had been removed were displayed in front of everyone in the form of a close-up of the area.

Not only the listeners who were present saw it clearly, but also the people watching the live broadcast in the whole league.

The mud trails all tended to be thrown by the wheels, leaning forward and sticking around the wheels.

Gu Yan said in a deep voice: “According to the testimony of witness Mr. Matthew Crow, from 4:00 p.m., it began to rain heavily in the area of Jade Mountain, with strong wind and sloping rain. At 5:15, a Silver Leopard GTX3 drove into the 013 Mountain Road. , arrived at the scene of No. 7 in the rain. At 9:10 in the night, the same Silver Leopard GTX3 returned the same way in the rain. Ten minutes later, at about 9:20, the rainstorm stopped. During this period, the wind and rain did not change. ”

On the premise that there is no problem with the above testimonies, there should be two types of mud spots in the area of the Silver Leopard GTX3 that the suspected perpetrator drove, one is on the way, and the other is on the way back. There are tailwinds and headwinds. Poor, the splashing direction of the two must be inconsistent.”

Gu Yan held an electronic pen, and tickled two arrows on the holographic screen, then dropped the pen, lifted his eyelids and looked at Lawyer Gunter: “Then may I ask, Why is there only one type of mud trail in this Silver Leopard GTX3 driven by my client, Mr. Horace Ji?”

Gaunt’s mind went blank for a moment.

But he reacted immediately and subconsciously retorted: “It can be wiped, maybe after the defendant arrived at the warehouse, he wiped off the mud stains when he arrived? There is only one type left!”

Gu Yan: “It can be wiped, according to the day The direction of the storm wind and the direction of the 013 mountain road, the mud spot of the Silver Leopard GTX3, which was used as the tool of the criminal, should lean forward, and the mud spot when it returns should lean backward. According to what you said, wipe the former one, and the left should be Backward mud trails.”

He curled his fingers and tapped the e-paper page in front of him gently, and the vehicle photos on the holographic screen shook slightly.

“May you please tell me, in which direction is the mud track that my client Horace Ji abandoned?”

Leaned forward.

Diametrically opposed.

Gaunt was speechless.

The scene fell silent again.
