Chapter 381 An Eight-Year-Old Can Be a Witness? He Can Also Destroy Your Chain of Evidence!
Lin Mo smiled and asked back: "Does the witness have to be legally certified before she is qualified to be a witness?"
Gao Lian: "Where is she? If she can arrive now, she can be certified on the spot!
But lawyer Lin Mo, you have to understand that Lu Qi is the family member of the deceased. Do you think she will come to be a witness for the murderer?!"
Hearing this, Gao Lian felt it was outrageous.
Not only Gao Lian felt it was outrageous, but even Yu Bing, Wang Zhenghua, and the other judges present felt it was very outrageous.
This is the first time that the family members of the deceased have been witnesses for the murderer.
Lin Mo narrowed his eyes: "Judge, please pay attention to your words. Xie Bo has not been tried yet. He is just the defendant."
Gao Lian was stunned: "Okay, this is my negligence, but may I ask, where are your witnesses? Is he here? When can he be here?"
Gao Lian deeply suspected that Lin Mo was stalling for time!
"Oh, it will be here soon." Lin Mo looked at his watch and said.
"Is it coming soon?" Gao Lian suspected that Lin Mo was playing a trick on him.
At this moment, a staff member immediately ran in and whispered something in Gao Lian's ear.
"What?! Come and see first." Gao Lian showed an extremely surprised expression.
The staff left, and soon, the door of the trial was opened, and two figures, one tall and one short, stood at the door.
It was Xia Ling and Xu Le. Lin Mo had told them to come on time.
Su Yang looked over and frowned. Isn't Xia Ling Lin Mo's assistant? And what's the matter with this kid?
At this moment, Lin Mo raised his hand: "Judge, Lu Qi can't come because of something, so I found Xu Han and Lu Qi's son, Xu Le, who also has the qualifications of a witness, to act as a witness!"
"What?!"
Everyone in the court was stunned. Lin Mo asked a child to act as a witness?
Su Yang stood up first and said hurriedly: "Judge, as far as I know, Xu Le is only eight years old and has no strong self-awareness. He cannot make correct judgments. I think he is not qualified to be a witness!"
Su Yang never thought that Lin Mo did not deal with Lu Qi, but actually called Lu Qi's son. Xu Le...
He is now madly complaining about Lin Mo in his heart: "You don't even let the child go!"
At the same time, Yu Bing and Wang Zhenghua in the observation room also looked at each other, with surprise in their eyes, and the other judges present were the same.
Yu Bing also laughed: "This kid is really a strange way of thinking. If Lu Qi doesn't come, he will find his son. This is a point that we all overlooked."
Wang Zhenghua nodded: "Yes, I really didn't expect that Xu Le could be a witness. Xu Le is also a family member of Xu Han and is qualified. Next, it depends on what testimony Xu Le will say."
Other judges: "First, you have to pass the qualification certification. This is still a certain difficulty for an eight-year-old child."
Everyone agreed.
As for what Su Yang said, everyone ignored it.
Because anyone of any age can be a witness, and the standard of witnesses is certified by the court.
As long as you pass the certification, you are qualified to be a witness.
At the trial, Gao Lian waved his hand: "It is not up to you to decide whether you are qualified or not."
Su Yang clenched his fists at this moment. After all the calculations, he still missed this step!
Su Yang became nervous, and a shadow was cast over his originally calm mind. He had a hunch that Lin Mo was going to play for real!
Xu Le was taken over by the staff, and Xia Ling left the venue and entered the waiting room.
The court began to certify on the spot.
Because Xu Le was Xu Han's son, he had the initial qualification to act as a witness, and the next step was to certify his thinking ability.
Professional institutions have professional methods. After a half-hour recess, Xu Le's certification qualification was passed.
Xu Le showed a thinking ability beyond his age under the question and answer of professional institutions.
Su Yang was dumbfounded watching the entire certification process.
"You told me that this child's IQ is only eight years old?!" Su Yang was really dumbfounded.
Xu Le showed extremely clear cognitive ability, fully qualified to be a witness!
Dong!
The gavel rang.
"The court is now in session, Xu Le will appear in court as the defendant's defense witness."
Xu Le stood in the center of the court, not at all nervous, just looking around with curiosity.
At this time, everyone was looking forward to what questions Lin Mo would ask Xu Le.
Su Yang's hands were still tightly clenched, and he felt something was wrong.
"Judge, I will now ask our witnesses questions about the fingerprint evidence."
Lin Mo said and looked at Xu Le: "Xu Le, little friend, do you have a deep connection with this brother on weekdays?"
Xu Le looked in the direction Lin Mo pointed, and it was Xie Bo.
At this time, Xie Bo was also confused. He didn't know why Lin Mo wanted to find Xu Le. What kind of defense method was this?
Xu Le nodded: "I know Brother Xie Bo, he often comes to my house, not only does he do housework, but he also plays football with me and picks me up from school."
Lin Mo: "After school, who puts your schoolbag, football, shoes and other items into the cabinet and shoe cabinet at the door of your house?"
Xu Le: "It's Brother Xie Bo. There is a cabinet at the door of our house, where I put my sports equipment, but I can't reach it because I'm tall enough. Brother Xie Bo usually takes it out. He also plays football and badminton with me."
Lin Mo nodded, smiling: "Judge, my question and answer session is over."
Ended?
Gao Lian and the other two judges were confused, as if they hadn't asked the key points, and it was over?
Lin Mo continued: "From Xu Le's mouth, we know that Xie Bo often helps Xu Le put things, so this can prove that the fingerprints left inside and outside Xu Han's house are very likely left by Xie Bo when he helped Xu Le before, and they were left before Xu Han was killed!
Instead of Xie Bo leaving these fingerprints when he killed Xu Han."
As soon as Lin Mo said this, everyone suddenly understood!
The inexplicable fog in everyone's heart was dispelled.
Gao Lian's mind began to infer instantly, and then nodded repeatedly.
Indeed, Xie Bo often went to Xu Han's house, why couldn't the fingerprints be left in advance?
The other two judges also nodded repeatedly, as if they had suddenly realized something.
In the trial, only Su Yang's jaw was about to drop in shock!
This... can this be said?
"Judge, why must the fingerprints have been left before? Couldn't Xie Bo have left them when he killed Xu Han?" Su Yang asked directly, anxious.
But Lin Mo just smiled faintly:
"Prosecutor Su, calm down, don't be too anxious. Now it's not a question of who left it first, but the fingerprint as evidence has lacked strong persuasiveness. If it can be left before and after, it means there is uncertainty, which cannot be used as a basis for sentencing."
"You..."
Although Su Yang was angry and shocked, he chose to shut up. He calmed down and knew that Lin Mo was right.
