Chapter 295 Turning Point? Lao Guo's Firepower Is on Again!

The tide in the courtroom has changed.

At least under Zhang Wei's cross-examination, there was a slight change.

Is this slight change the beginning of a comeback, or a dying struggle before defeat?

Nobody knows.

But everyone knew one thing, the former prosecutor of Beichong Island, Lao Yi, connived at the defendant Gao Xiaoping's behavior.

Even, when helping a woman on the coast of the island to deliver a baby, the former even drove the defendant himself to the other party's house.

This incident happened 3 years ago, and this time point can be said to be very bad.

Because this happened after Beichong Island was merged into the Oriental Capital and the medical management regulations of the entire Eastern Capital were updated.

In other words, not only the defendant Gao Xiaoping, but even Lao Yi himself knew that the regulations had been changed.

But he still chose to drive, driving the defendant to other people's homes to engage in illegal medical work.

If this is not indulgence, then what is?

On the prosecution table, Guo Wufeng's face immediately changed.

"Well, you old Yi, you were actually caught by the defense, and it's not a small loophole!"

He was so angry that he thought that summoning Lao Yi would kill him with one blow.

Even if Zhang Wei and the defendant cannot be knocked to death all at once, it can still have the effect of knocking mountains and shaking tigers.

Unexpectedly, Lao Yi became the opponent's breakthrough, and in turn he was going to hit the prosecutor.

"Oh, interesting?"

In the back row of the hearing seat, Hua Chaofan frowned slightly.

He didn't expect that Zhang Wei really had a way to find opportunities in disadvantages, and he really found them for him.

"Great!"

In the front row of the hearing seat, Lin Yumeng cheered in her heart, clenched her fists and her face was filled with excitement.

She has one thing on her mind right now.

A thousand dollars, my thousand dollars!

The odds are 1 to 5, come on master~

My pocket money this month depends on you~(*^▽^*)~

In court, Zhang Wei naturally wanted to seize this opportunity.

"Old Yi, I'm not talking about you, but I think it's because of your connivance that my client thinks that the regulations of the Eastern Capital actually have a fuzzy boundary."

"Because of your connivance, she thinks that even if she is seen by the law enforcement officers of Beichong Island, she will be safe and sound, because you are on her side, right?"

He "fired" at Lao Yi, although it wasn't violent, but what he said made the latter's face very ugly.

yes!

If it wasn't for her connivance, would Gao Xiaoping have been in this business until she retired now?

So, if there is a cause, there will be an effect.

Why Gao Xiaoping was able to take the risk was because of Lao Yi's relationship.

In the jury seat, the eyes of the 12 jurors naturally changed.

They looked at the defendant. Although they were still somewhat dissatisfied, Lao Yi on the witness stand had already borne part of the firepower for her.

Gao Xiaoping's originally angry face finally got better as Zhang Wei continued to speak.

Although she has always been angry, angry at this trial, angry at the new prosecutor Xiao Chen, but she is not stupid.

She saw a turning point, and her emotions were finally under control.

"Old Yi, I believe you should have a steelyard in your heart. When you drove my client to that family, did you consider that if my client was not present, the mother and child might die?"

Zhang Wei looked at Lao Yi with a smile, "Old Yi, please answer my question, you must have thought so at the time, right?"

"I……"

Lao Yi glanced at the control seat, then at the trial seat, and then sighed, "You are right, at that time I considered the medical conditions on the island, traffic problems, and the situation of the pregnant woman in that family. , the choice made.”

"Then Lao Yi, if you were to go back to the situation at that time, would you still do it?"

"Will do."

"Even if you know that this is condoning the defendant's behavior, knowing that it violates the medical regulations of Dongfang Capital, and knowing that it violates your law-abiding obligation as a prosecutor, you will still do it?"

"Human life is at stake. In that case, how could I think about other things?"

Lao Yi's answer made Zhang Wei very satisfied.

"Okay, one last question."

Zhang Wei raised a finger and said with a smile: "Then how about the mother in that family, did the child give birth smoothly?"

Hearing this question, Lao Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, the final result is very good, the child was born smoothly, it is a boy, and the mother has passed the dangerous period. The family is very happy and grateful!"

"Thank you!"

Zhang Wei nodded solemnly, and after a word of thanks, he walked back to the defense bench.

And with this last question, the mentality of the 12 people on the jury, nearly half of them, changed.

In their eyes, all the disgust and dislike for the defendant disappeared.

What they saw, they saw a midwife who did her best to help the mother give birth and help the baby come out.

The wind direction of the court is finally no longer the extent that the prosecution is crushing, and now the defense also has a chance of victory.

When Zhang Wei sat down, Gao Xiaoping at the side finally realized her mistake.

"Lawyer Zhang, I'm sorry just now, I just couldn't control it."

"But you can't blame me. The rule that my family believed in since I was a child is an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye, and if you are hit, you will hit back, so I can't be angry..."

Seeing that Gao Xiaoping wanted to explain, Zhang Wei hurriedly raised his hand to interrupt.

"Don't explain, this is the first witness!"

"It's useless for you to apologize now, because you will have to apologize later!"

"And ah, I'm not sure, will you lose control again next time!"

Zhang Wei forced himself to say that he was very disappointed with Gao Xiaoping.

This woman is too agitated, and everything is written on her face. This kind of person who cannot control her emotions is very unfavorable to the trial.

Zhang Wei is still thinking in his heart, what will the prosecution do next?

At the next table, Guo Wufeng's face was very gloomy.

He didn't expect that his own witness would become Zhang Wei's breakthrough.

"Witness, you can leave the meeting!"

Following Judge Liu's nod, Lao Yi stood up, sighed, and slowly left the courtroom.

He no longer needs to testify, but his previous actions did indeed violate the regulations.

So the former district attorney, when he left the courtroom, was not at peace.

"The prosecution?"

"Your Honor, the prosecution requests that Mr. He, a resident of Beichong Island, and his wife be summoned to testify in court!"

As Guo Wufeng opened his mouth, the door of the court opened wide, and a middle-aged couple walked into the court.

Seeing this middle-aged couple, a sneer appeared on Guo Wufeng's originally gloomy face.

When Zhang Wei saw the couple, he had already had a guess in his mind.

"I guess they must have been delivered by you too, right?"

"Yes..." Gao Xiaoping's face changed when he saw the husband and wife.

"Then let me guess again, their child must have a problem, or died, right, and they think it's your problem that caused their child to die?"

"Lawyer Zhang, your guess is really accurate..."

Gao Xiaoping smiled wryly, "I helped them deliver three babies, and the results were not very good. Their children didn't make it through..."

"So they think it's your problem?"

"Yes, after the third child died, they said a lot of nasty things to me, even..."

Seeing Gao Xiaoping's face, Zhang Wei understood.

"That's strange. Such a person should report you, but why is there no relevant complaint record? Could it be that Lao Yi helped Gao Xiaoping deal with it?"

Zhang Wei suppressed his suspicions and looked towards the court.

This time the prosecution witnesses should be very tricky.

This couple is also a resident of Beichong Island, and they are neighbors on the island with Gao Xiaoping, but they are also witnesses of great hostility towards the latter.

Among the husband and wife, the man walked up to the witness box and took his seat, while the woman stayed in the prosecution's family seat.

But the way the husband and wife looked at the dock was surprisingly consistent.

disgust!

Strong disgust.

This kind of look is definitely only available to those who harbor resentment.

"Mr. He, hello!"

Guo Wufeng walked to the witness stand, looked at the man, and asked, "Mr. He, how is your wife's health recently?"

"Very bad!" The man replied in a cold voice, and then pointed at Gao Xiaoping: "It's all her fault, it made my wife suffer from sequelae!"

"Oh, what happened, let you accuse the defendant like this, can you tell me the story between your family and the defendant?"

Guo Wufeng asked this question knowingly, he obviously knew what was going on here.

The man took a deep breath, and then said:

"I am a seafarer, and I spend nearly 10 months at sea in a year, so after my wife and I get married, we spend more and more time together, and the time we spend together is only two months a year."

"I still remember the apprehension when we were expecting our first child, and the joy when I heard that the baby was about to be born, but all of this, all of this beauty, was overwhelmed by..."

When the man said this, a trace of anger and pain flashed in his eyes, and tears even appeared in the corners of his eyes.

"All of this was ruined by that woman, and our child died at birth!"

As the man said, he looked at Gao Xiaoping with anger.

"Mr. He, please don't get excited, I know you still have stories to tell." Guo Wufeng hurriedly comforted him, but signaled the other party to continue.

Because he saw that the jury was still indifferent, and the story was not enough to mobilize their emotions.

"Yes, you are right, this is just my wife and I's first child!"

The man took another deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and said slowly: "The first child's death made me and my wife grieve for a year, and our mentality will not be adjusted until the second year."

"After that, we were going to have a second child. My wife and I had been preparing for a long time. I even went out to follow the boat for five months that year, so I came back early to take care of my wife."

"It can be said that this second time, we have been preparing for too long. My family and I are looking forward to the birth of our child."

When the man said this, a complex look flashed in his eyes, but then it was replaced by anger.

He changed his tone and said angrily: "Unexpectedly, this second time, the child died again, and my wife had postpartum hemorrhage during childbirth, and her life was in danger!"

Hearing this, there was a slight change in the jury.

Many people cast sympathetic eyes on the man.

"My wife had postpartum hemorrhage and shed a lot of blood. I only know that the sheets and the ground are all red blood."

"So at that time, what was the defendant doing?"

Guo Wufeng hurriedly asked questions, and pointed at Gao Xiaoping.

It's good that the man didn't listen, but when he heard Lao Guo talk about the defendant, he immediately became angry.

He stood up, pointing at the defendant and cursing: "She didn't do anything at the time, and he just stood there, watching my wife bleed, not a professional at all!"

"Then how did your wife survive in the end?"

Guo Wufeng looked at the woman at the family seat and asked again.

"In the end, I asked her to drive my wife to the hospital. It was my wife's fate, and she finally survived!"

As the man spoke, grief appeared on his face again: "But our second child also died..."

"My child, my child..."

At the family banquet, the woman couldn't help sobbing, and her crying infected everyone around her.

In the jury, someone finally moved, or sympathized with the prosecution witness couple.

After all, after hearing a man's talk and seeing a woman cry, they are not hard-hearted people, and they will feel compassion.

"Good guy, it's this trick again!"

At the defense table, Zhang Wei was speechless.

Although this trick is old-fashioned, it has been tried and tested.

Why do both the prosecution and the defense like to let people who have experienced miserable experiences testify in court, because it can make tears.

The man's crying and berating really affected the jury.

And with the woman's assists, the effect of this move continued to increase.

"be opposed to!"

Zhang Wei couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately stood up and looked at Judge Liu, "Your Excellency, although I am not against freedom of speech, I am not against anyone expressing their emotions either."

"But freedom is relative, not connivance. For example, the lady at the family table, her crying will cause certain incitement to the jury, affect the fairness and justice of the court, and be detrimental to our client. Therefore, the defense I implore you to restrain her!"

Judge Liu nodded, he knew Zhang Wei was right.

"Witness, please restrain your wife, the court is not a place for you to vent your emotions!"

Following Judge Liu's warning, the man winked at his wife, and the latter's crying gradually subsided.

Zhang Wei glanced at the witness stand and the family stand, and sat down slowly.

But he knew that the prosecution's attack was still going on.

"Mr. He, I know you still have stories to tell, now you can continue." Guo Wufeng spoke as expected, and guided the witness again.

"Yeah, I still have a story!"

The man looked at Gao Xiaoping with a sarcastic smile.

He looked towards the jury seat and said with pain on his face, "At the beginning of last year, I didn't go with the boat. Do you know why?"

"Because my third child is about to be born, this time my wife and I can be said to have emptied our family and tried our best. We are all full of hope that the birth of this little life can fill our family's regret."

"But...all of this was ruined by that woman again!"

The man pointed at Gao Xiaoping, gritted his teeth, and said, "This time, my wife and I learned how to behave. We didn't ask her to deliver the baby. Instead, we contacted the local hospital on Beichong Island and prepared to go to the hospital to give birth."

"However, on the day my wife was about to give birth, she came and prevented my wife from going to the hospital to give birth, and said that my wife had to give birth at home and could not go to the hospital!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Defendant, what does this mean?

Do business with the hospital?

People are thinking about going to the hospital, but you still stop them. Are you planning to harm people?

Even Zhang Wei looked at the person beside him suspiciously.

"His wife suffered from postpartum hemorrhage last time, which made her physically weak. She was about to give birth that day, and she would definitely not be able to withstand the bumpy journey. I stopped them because he was afraid that his wife would die on the way!"

"But they don't know, right?" Zhang Wei pointed to the witness stand.

"Oh...you're right, they are stupid, but they don't know it!" Gao Xiaoping sighed, speechless.

I am obviously saving people, but they regard me as harming people...

in court.

Guo Wufeng was also suddenly "surprised", although everyone knew he was faking it.

But don't say it, it looks like it.

"What, the defendant stopped you from going to the hospital?"

Lao Guo pretended to be astonished, a little confused, so: "Then, where did you give birth in the end?"

"In the end, my wife was about to give birth, and I had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​going to the hospital and let her deliver the baby for us at home!"

"What about the result?"

Hearing this question, the man's face was completely out of control, and he collapsed.

His lips twitched, and he said with a slight cry: "My third child... is also the last hope of my wife and I, and it's gone... It's gone..."

"My children, my three children, none of them have talked to this world, they just..."

At the family banquet, the woman also cried with the man, crying heartbreakingly.

At the end of the cry, the woman coughed repeatedly because of her weakness.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen wanted to go to help the other party, but was stopped by the woman.

"It's all her, it's all her fault. If she hadn't stopped her for the last time, our child would have been born long ago!" She pointed at the defense bench, pointed at Gao Xiaoping, and complained tearfully, her tone full of resentment.

On the witness stand, the man also had the same expression.

It can be said that their three children all died young.

But if they had chosen the delivery room of the local hospital from the beginning, and let professional gynecologists deliver the baby, it would definitely not be like this.

Now the woman has lost three children and is potentially at risk of postpartum hemorrhage.

The doctor even told the couple that it would be very difficult to have another child in the future.

This sentence is equivalent to almost cutting off the hope of the husband and wife.

And who is to blame for all this?

Gao Xiaoping!

Whether it's a witness, a jury box, or even a hearing box.

Such a name appeared in everyone's mind.

If it weren't for her, maybe Mr. He and Mrs. He would have already embraced the child, right?

If anyone needs to be held accountable, that person must be the defendant!

The wind direction of the court turned to the prosecution again.

Guo Wufeng looked at the witnesses he had summoned, and he was naturally very satisfied when he brought all 12 jurors over.

"Hey, let's see how you turn things around this time!"

He sneered, but did not end the question.

"Your Excellency, in order to let the court clearly and intuitively understand whether the witness's statement is true, we request to summon Ms. Pang, a gynecologist from the local hospital in Beichong Island, to testify in court!"

Judge Liu thought about it, and felt that what Guo Wufeng said made sense.

"This court approves!"

Seeing that the judge agreed, Guo Wufeng smiled triumphantly.

The testimonies of the witnesses are already so lethal. If this is combined with the professional testimony of the doctor, it can be said to be a lore!

The defense estimated that it would be difficult to even find a reason to refute.

Take care!
