Chapter 1354: Color of Personal Emotions

Luo Jialan couldn't cry anymore, she lowered her head and sobbed softly, her shoulders trembled, I felt pity for it.

Sister-in-law Xing and Sister-in-law You who were sitting in the auditorium both felt distressed and felt that Gu Nianzhi was really a bully. You see, Miss Huo was so angry that she cried!

Gu Nianzhi glanced at Luo Jialan, and continued calmly: "After the defendant Luo Jialan's mother Luo Xinxue was killed, the Huo family had no other mistress who was responsible for taking care of Song Jinning, so the defendant Luo Jialan recommended herself to take over the matter. Come here."

In fact, the Huo family still had the Zhang family at that time, but it was impossible for Huo Guanchen to send his wife to the Zhang family to take care of, so in comparison, Luo Jialan, who was eighteen years old at the time, was the best choice.

And Song Jinning's psychiatrist at the time was played by Bai Jinyi, and she also recommended Luo Jialan to take over the important task of taking care of Song Jinning.

Luo Jialan had just entered university at that time, so she moved back from the school dormitory, instead of living in the dormitory, she went to school on a day-to-day basis so that she could take care of Song Jinning.

However, her care does not mean that she should take care of Song Jinning personally like Mrs. Xing and Mrs. You.

Like her mother Luo Xinxue, she was only responsible for managing the domestic staff who took care of Song Jinning, such as Mrs. Xing and Mrs. You.

So she can go to college while studying, and come back to supervise the housekeeping staff during each class.

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. You were the housekeeping staff that Luo Jialan personally replaced for Song Jinning after taking over.

The housekeepers who took care of Song Jinning before were not Mrs. Xing and Mrs. You.

When Luo Jialan heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and her sobbing stopped.

"...It is natural for a niece to take care of a sick aunt, but the Huo family never thought that this niece who kept calling 'Auntie' was actually ulterior motives, in order to seize the property belonging to the Huo family and cover up her true identity , with the intention of murdering Song Jinning."

At this moment, Cai Shengnan was refreshed, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and a mocking light in his eyes. He looked at Gu Nianzhi meaningfully, and raised his hand and said, "Objection. The prosecution lawyer used imagination instead of evidence to slander my client. My client There is no motive or behavior for murdering Ms. Song Jinning. I have witnesses to testify."

With that, she opened the moment for cross-examination of witnesses on both sides.

The judge nodded and said blankly: "The objection is valid. The prosecution lawyer, please pay attention to your statement, and don't bring too much personal emotion."

Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and sat down slowly.

Seeing that Gu Nianzhi had no objection, the judge tapped the gavel and said, "Next, the prosecution and the defense will cross-examine their respective witnesses. Please come up and verify your identity, take an oath, and then go to the next room to wait for the summons."

Today was the first court defense, and the prosecution brought only one witness, Huo Guanchen.

The defendant brought two witnesses, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. You.

After they left Huo's house, they had been monitored by the Special Operations Department, but Cai Shengnan found them and persuaded them to be Luo Jialan's witnesses. After careful consideration, they agreed.

While talking, several staff members came over with forms and certificates to verify the identities of Huo Guanchen, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. You respectively.

The same is to verify their fingerprints, irises and DNA to avoid false witnesses.

Moreover, the lawyers of both parties need to approve these test results before they can formally testify in court.

DNA test results will lag for a few days, but fingerprint and iris results can be received immediately.

Gu Nianzhi and Cai Shengnan each read the identity verification materials of the witnesses of the other side, and signed each other's forms, expressing their approval of the identity of the witnesses.

After the identity verification of the witnesses, the court staff led them to the room next to the court to wait for the summons.

They are watched by a special person here, and they cannot talk to each other, nor can they look at mobile phones or computers. Basically, they can only sit or read some legal magazines and codes of laws and regulations that are placed in the room in advance.

After the witnesses went out, the judge again confirmed their intentions to both the prosecution and the defense.

Gu Nianzhi said: "We insist on accusing Luo Jialan of intentional homicide, there is no change.

"

Cai Shengnan also said: "I pleaded not guilty for my client, and nothing has changed."

This is what it means to continue the lawsuit.

The judge raised his hand and said, "Then the prosecution will call witnesses."

This is the usual practice of the courts.

First, the prosecution, that is, the plaintiff, expounds its allegations, then lists the evidence, and finally uses logic to string together the evidence to form a convincing chain of evidence to prove its allegations.

Then the defense moved to refute the prosecution's allegations.

Regardless of whether it is a civil lawsuit or a criminal lawsuit, a very important principle for confirming the burden of proof is that whoever advocates shall provide evidence.

For example, if you sue the other party for murder, of course you must show your own evidence to prove that the other party murdered, instead of asking the other party to prove that you did not murder.

Just like when you say your neighbor killed someone, whether you say it in front of reporters in public or privately in a wechat group with a vest on, you have to produce evidence to prove that your neighbor did kill someone, not If you open your mouth, the neighbor would like to commit suicide to prove that he did not kill.

The onlookers can't think that this person's video is telling the truth just because the video was not mosaiced and was deleted after it was circulated all over the Internet.

This is not acceptable, the law does not rule that way.

Accusing such a serious crime as homicide, without any tangible evidence or even effective clues, just saying "I think...", "I heard...", "I think...", that is not an accusation , That's rumors, it's defamation, and you need to bear legal responsibility.

Gu Nianzhi had been unable to get the police and the procuratorate to file the case at the beginning, because they believed that her evidence was insufficient to form a complete chain of evidence.

When procuratorates bring criminal cases to court, they need to bear the burden of proof.

The case of Song Jinning and Luo Jialan is more complicated, and Gu Nianzhi, as the plaintiff's lawyer, must cooperate with the procuratorate to prove to them that the murder case is indeed established.

After being approved by the procuratorate, the evidence she presented to the procuratorate will be regarded as evidence approved by the procuratorate and handed over to the court.

After further verification by the court, the case will be filed and the court date will be determined.

After going around for so long, it was not until a key piece of evidence about Luo Jialan was obtained from Bai Jinyi that the most important part of Gu Nianzhi's accusation was put on the line, and was recognized by the procuratorate and the court respectively.

Gu Nianzhi was just told by the judge that her statement was "overly personal". After sitting down, she reviewed herself and was really agitated.

Because it was Gu Nianzhi who was the first to realize that Song Jinning was being severely abused mentally. The shock was too great at that time, and her personal emotions were inevitably mixed in.

Well, be careful.

Gu Nianzhi stood up and nodded to the judge more calmly, "Your Honor, I want to call our first witness, Mr. Huo Guanchen, General of the Military Department. He is the ex-husband of the plaintiff, Ms. Song Jinning."

The judge looked down at Huo Guanchen's file and said, "Witnesses are invited to testify in court."

The court staff went to the next room and called Huo Guanchen over.

He didn't wear a military uniform, but a dark black suit and a blue tie. His hair was neatly combed, but his temples were already graying.

The fine lines around the eyes are looming, and it can be seen that he is getting older.

He was actually over fifty years old.

But Song Jinning was still glamorous and charming. She looked at most thirty years old, which was the age for a woman to be extremely beautiful.

There is still youthful vitality in maturity, but there is a bit more time background than pure youth, which makes their beauty more intriguing.

If you didn't know them and just looked at these two people in court, no one would have guessed that Huo Guanchen was only two years older than Song Jinning, and that the two had been married for many years, and they had a son who was about to turn thirty.

Huo Guanchen calmly stood on the witness stand and swore: "...I swear that I am telling the truth, and only the truth."

The judge nodded and raised his hand towards Gu Nianzhi, "The prosecution lawyer can start questioning."

Gu Nianzhi bowed to the judge, walked out from behind the plaintiff's seat, and came to Huo Guanchen to look him up and down.

"Please identify yourself."

Huo Guanchen said calmly: "My name is Huo Guanchen, a general in the military department, and Ms. Song Jinning's ex-husband. We have been married for many years, and we have a grown-up son."

A faint smile appeared on the corners of Gu Nianzhi's lips, and she asked, "Mr. Huo Guanchen, please tell me why Ms. Song Jinning was seriously injured and became insane?"

Cai Shengnan immediately raised his hand: "No! This issue has nothing to do with this case."

Gu Nianzhi looked at the judge, "Your Honor, this issue has a lot to do with this case, and I will prove it."

The judge looked at her for a while, then nodded reluctantly, "The lawyer for the prosecution should try to ask concise questions, and don't ask questions that have nothing to do with the case."

Gu Nianzhi took a deep breath and said, "Okay, Your Honor."

She turned to Huo Guanchen: "Mr. Huo Guanchen, please tell me the reason for Song Jinning's serious injury and the subsequent treatment."

Huo Guanchen took a deep look at Song Jinning, and said, "That was seventeen years ago. An accident happened in the experiment between Song Jinning and her father, academician Song Haichuan. Both her father and my elder brother died in that accident."

Gu Nianzhi immediately interrupted him, "Excuse me, Mr. Huo, who is your elder brother?"

Cai Shengnan narrowed his eyes.

It turned out that Gu Nianzhi insisted on asking Song Jinning why he was injured.

She decisively raised her hand again, "Objection. The prosecution lawyer wasted time cross-examining too many people who have nothing to do with the case."

Before the judge could make a decision, Gu Nianzhi immediately retorted: "Lawyer Cai, there are reasons and consequences for intentional homicide. We did not accuse Luo Jialan of impulsive homicide."

"What we are alleging is her deliberate intentional homicide, and of course it is necessary to explain the cause and effect to your honor and everyone in the court."

"You have repeatedly interrupted our proof of Luo Jialan's murder intention. What is your intention? Are you deliberately obstructing justice?"

After Gu Nianzhi finished speaking, he turned to the judge: "Your Honor, I request to limit the number of times the defendant's lawyer calls 'objection'. She seriously interfered with the questioning between me and my witnesses, and she is suspected of obstructing judicial justice."

The judge was also somewhat dissatisfied with Cai Shengnan's repeated "opposition".

But he did not favor Gu Nianzhi, but said to Cai Shengnan: "Lawyer Cai, if you disagree, you can cross-examine the witnesses without interrupting the prosecution lawyer's questioning repeatedly."

Complacent, Cai Shengnan said with a serious face, "Good Your Honor, but I still have to insist. The prosecution lawyer has too much emotion, which will seriously affect everyone's judgment."

Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but chuckled, "Lawyer Cai, are you worried that the judge's legal literacy is not enough and you will be misled by my emotional color?"

Cai Shengnan's eyes widened all of a sudden, this is clearly sowing discord!

How treacherous!
