Chapter 690 Loophole, the Prosecution Has the Upper Hand?
It's him, it's him, it's him!
Hou Liangliang's speech pointed directly at Zhang Wei, without even a trace of denial!
He was already bitten to death, all of this was planned by Zhang Wei behind the scenes. Although they did the killing of Bashaluo, it was all coerced by Zhang Wei.
Even before his death, Bashaluo revealed that he "surrendered himself" only after being threatened, and the person who threatened was also Zhang Wei.
Anyway, Bashaluo is dead, can you still let Bashaluo continue to speak?
What's this called? It's called Dead No Telling.
Hou Liangliang knew that no one could make Bashaluo speak again, because everyone was gone.
This is also the favorite routine used by professional defense lawyers in court trials.
Throw it away!
Especially throwing blame at someone who can't justify himself.
"Good guy!"
At the hearing stand, Xiao Baihe couldn't sit still.
Although she knew that Hou Liangliang was shameless, she didn't expect to be so shameless.
"Old Xiao, can you please calm down?"
Zhang Wei on the side sat there with a calm face.
"Hey, hey, look, that guy has slandered you so much, why didn't you react at all?"
Seeing Zhang Wei so calm, Xiao Baihe really couldn't understand.
If I'm framed, I'll go straight up and fight them desperately.
"And you are stupid, how can you be so calm? Aren't you a cold-faced Shura? When I was in the lawsuit, I heard your name many times. Why are you so calm today?"
"Zhang Wei isn't panicking, so am I?" Xia Qianyue winked at Xiao Baihe.
"Well said, don't panic, why should I lie?"
Zhang Wei took advantage of the situation to hug Xia Qianyue, and then blinked at Xiao Baihe.
Fuck!
Feed me dog food!
Xiao Baihe looked at the pair of dogs and men beside him, and almost couldn't help but let them die far away.
Zhang Wei took the initiative to come forward: "Old Xiao, besides, I have diplomatic immunity, why panic?"
"Oh, forgot!"
When Xiao Baihe thought about it, yes.
This guy has a gold medal for immunity, and it seems that nothing will happen, so why are you so nervous?
grass!
My old lady is worrying for nothing, what a fucking dog!
After roaring and complaining in her heart, Xiao Baihe's mood gradually stabilized.
Obviously, the high-cold goddess at the local prosecutor's headquarters back then has changed a lot since she became a defense lawyer, and she has become more "down-to-earth" than before.
"However, there is actually a loophole in the accusation against me!"
Zhang Wei, on the other hand, ignored Xiao Baihe's "intermittent madness" and stared at the court.
He believes that Lao Zhao can see the so-called weakness, that is, the Hous and his sons...
in court.
Hou Liangliang is still complaining affectionately.
"It's all Zhang Wei asked us to do. He is what he is!"
He raised his finger to Zhang Wei in the hearing seat, showing endless resentment.
At this moment, he seemed to be venting the dissatisfaction in his heart, his chest was heaving, and because of the excitement and revenge, he actually felt a little bit of joy.
"But we all know that you and Zhang Weisu have a grudge. You accuse him, isn't it an act of revenge?"
"Old Zhao, show me the evidence. What kind of enmity do I have with Zhang Wei? What he did is completely different!" Of course Hou Liangliang denied it.
His mission is to kill Zhang Wei in court, fish in troubled waters, and create opportunities for Zhang Tianlong and others.
Now, he naturally wants to complete this task.
How about it, no move.
As long as I bite Zhang Wei desperately, even if he doesn't die, he will lose a layer of skin.
Zhang Wei, it's a pity that you have diplomatic immunity, otherwise I will definitely drag you into prison and make your life worse than death!
Hou Liangliang looked at Zhang Wei with madness and ferocity in his eyes.
If it weren't for Zhang Wei, I would still have a bright future, but because of the other party, everything would be ruined.
Seeing Hou Liangliang's attitude, Lao Zhao also knew that the other party obviously didn't intend to cooperate.
After all, Hou Liangliang was not summoned as his witness, but as a witness of the defense. He has always been a member of the defense.
"Then, I have another question!"
In desperation, Zhao Chunming could only hold up a finger, "You always said that it was Zhang Wei who asked you to destroy the evidence, and Zhang Wei asked Laohou to kill Bashaluo's mouth, is that true?"
"Yes, I have said it many times, Lao Zhao, you finally listened to it?" Hou Liangliang was very happy, because Lao Zhao said this, which was equivalent to acquiescing to this point.
Old Zhao turned around and spread his hands: "Then here comes the question, why did he threaten you?"
As soon as these words came out, Hou Liangliang's face froze suddenly.
His expression also froze for a moment, and he was stunned on the spot.
Others in the court also looked at each other in blank dismay, and many people came to their senses.
yes!
Zhang Wei threatened Hou Liangliang and his father to silence Bashaluo on the grounds that Bashaluo might "betray" and told Dongfangdu to prosecute him because he was threatened.
Bashaluo's reason for being silenced is not bad, but the question is, why do you listen to Zhang Wei, and what is the reason?
Hou Liangliang's expression froze, because he had forgotten this too.
The task Zhang Tianlong gave him was to kill Zhang Wei and never let go.
But he forgot to write a beginning for the story of killing Zhang Wei.
what is this?
Fatal mistake!
But now, this fatal mistake was caught by Zhao Chunming.
"Xiao Hou, let me ask you, how did Zhang Wei blackmail you, forcing you to do something that violates professional ethics, or even breaks the law?"
"This, this..."
Hou Liangliang suddenly fell silent.
Just now he bit Zhang Wei to death with one bite, his tone was agitated and excited.
Now it's gone straight away.
"Xiao Hou, tell me, you and your father, Lao Hou, have been threatened by Zhang Wei, so that you and your father will violate the oath of our inspection system, violate the professional ethics of our prosecutors, and even Going against your conscience?"
This time, it was Zhao Chunming's turn to fire.
"Xiao Hou, what's wrong with you, I can't say anything, I panicked, and I started thinking about how to make it up?"
"Aren't you very firm in your tone just now? If you bite Zhang Wei to death, did he threaten you, or is it 'he is he or he is'?"
"What's the matter, since what you said is true, if Zhang Wei really threatened you, why don't you say how he threatened you now, shouldn't you just blurt it out?"
On the trial seat, Lao Chen also smiled.
"Witness, you just kept saying that Zhang Wei threatened you, threatened you and your father, Lao Hou, and asked you to do things for him."
"Then, how did he threaten you? Why are you suddenly unable to respond? You are already in jail, and this is a court. It is absolutely impossible for Zhang Wei to threaten you again. Why did you tell the whole story?"
Lao Zhao and Lao Chen fired in turn, while Hou Liangliang faltered.
"This, this..."
Seeing this scene, the hearing seats and the jury were all speechless.
You said it!
What happened to Zhang Wei, you have to listen to him.
Did he get your black material, or arrested your family, or did something else?
You are in jail anyway, and you can expose any black material. This is a court. If your family members are really arrested, you can also tell us to help you uphold justice.
But you held it in for a long time, why didn't you fart?
Now, everyone felt that there was a problem.
Seeing this scene, the aggrieved look on Zhao Chunming's face immediately dissipated, replaced by a look of sarcasm.
"Xiao Hou, don't think about it anymore, you won't be able to figure out this thing for a while... Oh, no, you can't make it up, because you and your father were threatened at the same time, it's hard to find a reason."
What are these few ridicules? They kill people!
Hearing this, everyone understood.
This Hou Liangliang is a fool, he doesn't even know how to make up stories, he killed Zhang Wei in one bite, right? As a result, he forgot to make up the beginning of the story.
After Zhao Chunming teased, he looked at the trial seat.
"It's a very judge. In view of the contradictions in the testimony of the witness, he insisted that Zhang Wei was behind the scenes, but he couldn't even make up the reason for being blackmailed. I have to suspect that the witness Hou Liangliang was instructed by the other party, so he appeared in court to testify. perjury!"
"Well, what you said, Old Zhao, is right. Hou Liangliang's testimony just now is not consistent, and there are huge contradictions. He is indeed suspected of perjury!"
Lao Chen also hit the hammer directly, which can be regarded as the final conclusion on Hou Liangliang's behavior.
He explained to the jury: "Given the many inconsistencies in the witness's testimony, this court believes that the witness has a high possibility of perjury in court, so all his testimony cannot be accepted!"
After speaking to the jury, Lao Chen looked at Zhao Chunming again.
Lao Zhao, do you have any questions?
Old Zhao nodded, indicating that he still had problems.
Lao Chen nodded, motioning for you to continue.
"Hou Liangliang, let me ask you, who told you to do this, to interfere with the court and judicial justice with lies?"
"this……"
Hou Liangliang raised his head subconsciously, looked at the defense bench, and looked at Zhang Tianlong.
And his action was seen by everyone.
"Where are you looking, you are looking at Chairman Zhang, could it be that he is signaling to you..."
"Judge Chen, since the witness is full of lies, he should not continue to sit on the witness stand!"
Just at the critical moment, Laura stood up, planning Hou Liangliang's "self-explosion" behavior.
"Lawyer Laura, why are you panicking? Maybe Hou Liangliang will testify against the real mastermind behind the scenes?"
Old Zhao naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity, and said almost pointing at Zhang Tianlong.
"Judge Chen, we still have the same sentence. A witness who is full of lies has no meaning in being summoned!"
With these words, Lao Chen had no choice but to nod, and he waved to the left and right court guards.
"You two, take him down, as the defense lawyer said, a person who is full of lies is not worthy of sitting on the witness stand!"
The left and right court guards had no choice but to take Hou Liangliang down. Anyway, it would be embarrassing for him to continue sitting here.
Hou Liangliang was invited out of the witness stand in this way. When he got near the hearing stand, Zhang Wei also spoke quietly.
"It's a shameful thing, you can't even make up a story, and you still want to frame me?"
"Zhang Wei, you..."
"Farewell, you should save your energy. When you go to prison, you may have many boyfriends. You should save your energy to serve them."
"You, me, you, I love you x-on:#¥¥%..."
Even if the left and right court guards were watching, Hou Liangliang was completely defeated because of Zhang Wei's last words.
The whole person went crazy like he lost his mind.
Seeing this, the two court guards rushed to stop him, and finally Hou Liangliang was taken away amidst a lot of cursing and roaring.
"Your last words just now are simply cruel and heartless!"
Seeing Hou Liangliang being taken away, Xiao Baihe felt a sense of pleasure in getting revenge.
Sure enough, Zhang Wei had to be the one to do the killing and killing, and easily break the enemy's defense with a single sentence.
"That's right, but I did this for you, Old Xiao!"
"Oh, for me?"
"Yeah, on the Oriental Star 2 years ago, this kid didn't intend to bully you, I'm here to help you get justice!"
Xiao Baihe was a little surprised, but for some reason, she felt warm in her heart.
For some reason, she felt that Zhang Wei at this time was actually quite handsome.
"Of course, it's a reason to help Lao Xiao. In fact, I've seen this kid upset for a long time. It's very cool to beat a dog in the water!"
"Well……"
Well, Xiao Baihe said that his touch was only a little bit just now, just a little bit...
in court.
With Hou Liangliang taken away, the witness stand was also vacated.
And Laura is also discussing with Lin Xiangtian and others.
"The witness did not perform very well just now. His perjury has already made the jury hostile to us. Now we need a new witness, otherwise..."
I didn't say the rest, but both Zhang Tianlong and Lin Xiangtian were smart people and knew what Laura meant.
If there are no strong witnesses, then the jury is bound to reach an unfavorable verdict.
Zhang Tianlong suggested: "Is it okay to let the old Hou come? After all, he is an old Jianghu, and he can definitely kill Zhang Wei."
"You can pull it over and ask Lao Hou, what is your relationship with Hou Liangliang? He replied that it is a father-son relationship. Do you think the jury will listen to him?"
Lin Xiangtian shook his head hastily, and secretly said goodbye.
No matter what old Hou said, Zhao Chunming's question will block all your words.
Lao Hou will not be able to go to court, because Hou Liangliang has learned from the past, and the jury will not believe the father and son.
"Then who are you looking for?" Zhang Tianlong was suddenly dissatisfied.
"Of course you have to find someone who was on the Oriental Star two years ago, or you can find a character witness."
Lin Xiangtian naturally gave his opinion, he could see the situation clearly.
The jury didn't believe the defense because the witness just made trouble.
Then if a new witness is arranged and can prove Zhang Tianlong's noble character, then there is still a chance to save him.
"The new witness, who was on the Oriental Star two years ago, or a character witness?"
Zhang Tianlong hesitated. It is really hard to find witnesses who meet these conditions.
"How about you go up and prove yourself?" Lin Xiangtian saw Zhang Tianlong's hesitation and made another suggestion.
"You put me in court to be treated like a monkey by a jury?"
Zhang Tianlong suddenly became angry, and responded in a lowered, but still unhappy tone.
"Since you don't go up, then only me or Wu Laoer can go up..."
Lin Xiangtian touched his chubby belly, and then glanced at Wu Yuanzong, who was also not quite calm.
After all, no one likes to sit on the witness stand and be watched like monkeys by a jury.
"Defense, do you have any witnesses to call?"
At this time, Lao Chen spoke.
"Judge Chen, we haven't decided which witness to call yet, so we request a 10-minute adjournment for us to discuss it clearly."
Laura also knew that she was at a disadvantage and immediately requested a timeout.
"Judge Chen, since the defense requested a timeout, we will summon a family member of the victim to appear in court!"
And at this moment, Old Zhao seemed to have got some news, and suddenly proposed.
"The victim's family?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhou's wife who died on the Oriental Star, she had always refused to cooperate with the investigation, but for some reason, she suddenly contacted my colleague just now and said she was willing to testify in court!"
Old Zhao also got the news just now, and Mrs. Zhou was willing to cooperate, which surprised him a little.
But Mrs. Zhou's willingness to appear in court is always right.
The families of the victims, the families of the deceased, can always earn a few tears from the jury.
"Judge Chen, the victim's family is not on the list!"
Seeing this, Laura quickly stood up and objected.
"But Mrs. Zhou is the victim's family after all!"
Zhao Chunming naturally stood up to refute: "Could it be that the family members of the victims can't come to court to tell what happened to them?"
"The rules can be made public, you, as a prosecutor, should know it too!"
"As I said before, Mrs. Zhou was unwilling to cooperate, but now she wants to appear in court, so I request the court to allow us to add an emergency witness!"
The two sides began to argue.
When Lao Chen saw this, he could only ponder for a moment, and said: "Since the defense has not yet decided who to summon to testify in court, why not let the witnesses come up, it happens that this court also wants to hear what happened to the witnesses!"
As soon as this statement came out, it was considered finalized.
Laura had no choice but to sit down.
And Zhao Chunming nodded to a court guard behind him, and the latter immediately went out to lead people.
Soon, Mrs. Zhou, whom Zhang Wei had met once, came to the court.
She was dressed in plain clothes, her face was haggard, and she looked miserable.
But Zhang Wei knew that this woman was actually acting. Her husband had been dead for two years, but it looked as if he had just died.
But that's good, at least the jury can't help feeling sympathetic when they see this woman.
The scene of Mrs. Zhou's appearance also made Zhang Tianlong's face look bad.
"Zhang Tianlong, you have to make up your mind. If you are not going to appear in court, you have to confirm who will appear in court. Otherwise, if the prosecution decides, the jury will be more biased towards the prosecution!"
Lin Xiangtian pointed to the woman on the witness stand and suggested that Zhang Tianlong make up his mind quickly.
Because it is Mrs. Zhou now, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li may appear later.
Anyway, there will be more and more family members of the victims, but there are no witnesses on their side, what will the jury think?
They will only see that more and more people on the prosecution side are willing to stand up and support them, while the defense is hesitating, and the witnesses are hiding and are afraid to appear in court.
The only witness who appeared in court was tm perjured!
Do you think a jury would believe such a defense? Obviously not.
Zhang Tianlong also felt the crisis!
He felt that a decision had to be made.
Should Wu Yuanzong appear in court, or Lin Xiangtian appear in court, or should he appear in court himself!
