Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Chapter 517 Laura went to court to prove her innocence?

"Mr. Li, please answer me, are you aware of the tampering of evidence?"

"I don't know, and I didn't instigate anyone to tamper with the evidence!"

Faced with Zhang Wei's cross-examination, Li answered very simply.

Clean and tidy, it was denied on the spot.

Of course, everyone knew that he couldn't admit it.

But only Zhang Wei, seeing Li's denial, expressed great agreement.

This product may not really know.

When he answered, his eyes were firm and unaffected.

"Mr. Li, let me ask again, did you kidnap and murder eight victims including Dong Juan?"

As soon as this question was uttered, Li's eyes changed instantly, and he looked at Blake on the prosecution seat.

The latter's head shook wildly with a slight amplitude.

"It's nothing, I..."

"No, the lawyer is asking the witness to incriminate himself!"

Zheng Fenyong, who was on the prosecution's seat, also spoke at this time.

"Sorry, I take back the question I just asked!"

Zhang Wei also didn't care about Li's answer.

He already knew that Li was the serial murderer who killed 8 victims, and Yang Chunyuan did not arrest the wrong person back then.

But in the same way, the case related to Li was tried 20 years ago.

The case this time is about whether Yang Chunyuan has tampered with evidence and the public prosecution case of tampering with the report is different from Li's case back then.

Similarly, Zhang Wei can also see that Li has never thought of tampering with evidence to facilitate his own freedom.

He was not the one who secretly contacted Lao Cao, nor did he intend to slander Yang Chunyuan.

But if not him, who would it be?

At this moment, the doors of the courtroom opened.

A group of bodyguards in black surrounded a woman who was dressed in a long brown dress and wearing sunglasses, and who looked extraordinary at first glance, walked into the courtroom.

Laura Campbell, here she comes.

Obviously, under the summons of the court, the young lady of William International finally came to attend the trial.

As for Laura's arrival, many people in the court were surprised.

"Miss..."

Among them, Blake, the plaintiff's lawyer, was the most surprised.

It never occurred to him that Laura would appear in court.

In fact, he thought that this case had nothing to do with Laura!

Many people in the jury and hearing booth did not know Laura.

They were just curious, who is this awesome-looking foreign girl who is so attractive?

What are the bodyguards in black around her doing? They look like they are going to play The Matrix.

And seeing the "righteous master", Zhang Wei was also satisfied.

Now that Laura is here, there is no value for Li to continue asking questions.

"Mr. Li, thank you for your answer!"

Zhang Wei thanked him and looked towards the judging seat, "Judge Liu, for Mr. Li, we are done asking questions!"

"ah?"

Judge Liu was stunned for a moment. Are you going to ask more questions?

Could it be that when you saw Laura appearing, you couldn't help it?

But please don't do anything to offend the other party, I will be the one to take the blame.

It was I, Liu, who summoned her here. If she is provoked again, the person who will be written down by William International in the end is me, Xiao Liu.

Zhang Wei didn't care about Judge Liu's frantic extravagance in his heart, he quickly ended the cross-examination.

And sat back on the defense seat, and at the same time asked Zheng Fenyong, who was on the prosecution seat.

"Judge Liu, the prosecution has finished questioning, and hopes that the defense will start to testify as soon as possible!"

Zheng Fenyong also gave Zhang Wei a lot of face, or he also wanted to find out, and even urged him.

"Okay, then this court announces that the prosecution has finished its statement, and now it's the defense's turn to speak."

After Judge Liu said a word, he indicated that Zhang Wei could start.

"Judge Liu, the defense requests to summon Lawyer Laura Campbell of William International Law Firm to testify in court!"

As soon as this remark came out, many people in the audience looked at the woman surrounded by a group of bodyguards in black and black suits, that is, Laura.

This Laura Campbell should be the other party.

Although her expression was somewhat reluctant, Laura still walked to the court step by step under the attention of the audience.

"Hello, Miss Laura!"

Zhang Wei hurriedly got up and came to the opponent.

"Boring!"

"Miss Laura, you say I'm bored?"

Zhang Wei was not annoyed, he smiled and said, "But Miss Laura, can you take off your sunglasses, otherwise I won't be able to see your eyes, and I won't be able to tell if you're lying."

"Your request is too much!"

"Miss Laura, although I can understand your native dialect, I also know that you are saying that my request is too much. But you are sitting in the court of Dragon Kingdom, please speak Dragon Mandarin, thank you!"

Zhang Wei's tone changed, his face turned cold, and his expression was indescribably serious!

In the front row of the hearing seat, the group of bodyguards in black couldn't bear it anymore.

No one can bully Miss in front of us.

"Um!"

But on the trial bench, Judge Liu suddenly snorted coldly, and the left and right court guards each took a step forward.

The group of bodyguards in black immediately sat back, and none of them dared to make mistakes.

Although Judge Liu's heart was still pounding, he also knew that there were some things that could not be compromised.

"Witness, please answer the question carefully, and don't speak your native dialect. According to the knowledge of this court, you can speak Dragon Mandarin fluently, so please cooperate with the question, otherwise I will hold you in contempt of court!"

Under the "double threat" of Zhang Wei and Judge Liu, Laura had no choice but to compromise, and even had to take off her sunglasses.

"Hehe, you guys ask!"

Even so, her attitude was still very uncomfortable.

"Miss Laura, do you know why you appeared in court?"

"Hehe!" Laura sneered, and looked at the trial seat with some displeasure, "Because a judge surnamed Liu signed a subpoena asking me to testify in court urgently, so I came here!"

It can be seen that the reason for her displeasure is because of this.

Judge Liu also scratched his head in embarrassment, but then gestured to Zhang Wei with his eyes.

Don't look at me, it's all this kid's idea, I'm the one who issued the summons, he's the one who wants to summon you!

"Judge Liu, are your eyes okay?"

At this moment, Zhang Wei looked at Judge Liu with a smile.

Well, you little Liu, are you planning to sell me?

Judge Liu immediately stopped pushing.

"Miss Laura, let's get back to business. According to me, are you planning to run for city councilor recently?"

"I also want to contribute to the city of Oriental Capital!"

"Isn't your answer a bit too high-sounding?"

"This is my idea."

Laura has the basic quality of a politician, that is thick skinned.

Even if Zhang Wei made a joke, she was unmoved, her face was neither red nor out of breath, and she looked like a normal person.

"Ahem, Miss Laura, your answer is actually quite good, really."

"Hehe!" Laura couldn't help but roll her eyes.

You were like that just now, and now you are praising me again, you are so hypocritical!

"By the way, let me ask, is it because Miss Laura intends to join the city council because of something she heard?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about!"

Seeing Laura's denial, Zhang Wei smiled, "Miss Laura, you are the eldest lady of William International, so it's impossible not to hear any rumors, right?"

"Like what?"

"For example, the husband of my client, Forensic Yang, is also a member of the city council, but because of the impact of Forensic Yang's case, the city council suspended his work."

"Isn't everyone aware of this?" Laura chuckled without even looking at Zhang Wei.

"Yes, everyone knows it, but how about I say something that others don't know?"

Zhang Wei said, and broke the news: "Miss Laura, you seem to care very much about Councilor Mo's position. I heard that you joined the city council to replace Councilor Mo's job. Is that true?"

"What do you mean!"

Laura narrowed her eyes slightly, and her gaze became unfriendly.

"Miss Laura, why do you act like I've said something to your heart, and you have to become angry with embarrassment?"

Zhang Wei hurriedly made a joke, implying that Laura had ghosts in her heart.

Seeing Zhang Wei like this, Laura also knew that she was sitting on the witness stand, as if she couldn't help him.

But she suddenly looked at the prosecution seat, and at Zheng Fenyong: "Prosecution, why don't you object and let the defense lawyer ask me leading questions?"

"this……"

Zheng Fenyong was stunned, and then stood up helplessly, "Objection, leading question."

"Well……"

Judge Liu was also taken aback, but then he could only nod his head, "The objection is valid!"

They almost forgot that the person sitting on the witness stand was also an old court driver and an excellent lawyer.

It's just that the other party sat on the witness stand, and they all ignored it.

"Ahem, since you don't want to answer, Miss Laura, let me change the way of asking!"

Zhang Wei's witness didn't cooperate, so he planned to come directly to the truth.

"Excuse me, do you know Li's attorney on the prosecution table?"

Laura glanced at Braque, nodded and said, "Of course, he is Braque from our law firm!"

Seeing Laura's confession, Zhang Wei immediately raised his breath, and asked: "Did you secretly instigate Lawyer Braque to become Li's attorney, in order to take my client Yang's forensic doctor into operation, and thus have a negative impact on Mr. Mo's work?" Influence, forcing him to be coerced by public opinion, to resign voluntarily, so that you can fill his vacancy in the city council!"

As soon as this statement came out, many people in the audience were stunned.

Good guy!

It turns out that there is such a big event hidden in this case!

What is this, is this political smearing?

Putting your wife on trial will affect your reputation. Under pressure, you can only take the blame and resign!

And if you resign, then your position in the city council will be vacant, and I can take the opportunity to take over!

I have to say, this trick is really vicious!

But poisonousness is poisonousness, as long as it is effective.

Now that Yang Chunyuan is on trial, Councilor Mo's work has indeed been affected. Even the city council has suspended his work, and he may be asked to submit his resignation at any time!

The position of Councilor Mo will be vacated sooner or later.

But no one knows how many people are currently eyeing his position.

But what is certain is that Laura may have been eyeing such a position from the beginning.

Even this whole thing was a scene she directed and acted on her own, in order to pull Mo Juren down.

Hard enough!

Poisonous enough!

For his own ambition, he would not hesitate to blame an innocent person!

The entire court seemed to have seen Laura's sinister intentions, and everyone speculated on Laura with varying degrees of malice.

Everyone in the jury and the hearing booth showed varying degrees of suspicion and disgust.

"Miss Laura, you need to give us an explanation!"

Zhang Wei also made up the knife at this time, and asked coldly.

"What if I deny it, deny all this?"

Laura answered Zhang Wei's question with questions.

"I guessed it!" Zhang Wei smiled slightly.

You'll deny it, and that's the normal thing to do.

"I knew you would say that too!"

Laura also expected it, but she still said to the jury: "I didn't know about these things, and I didn't instruct Blake to take this case, and I didn't instruct him to plot against Forensic Doctor Yang, and then plot against Mr. Mo! "

"In fact, I don't even have any confidence in whether I can be elected to the city council. Why should I waste so much energy for a position that is almost impossible to reach?"

As Laura spoke, she laughed at herself: "Besides, this matter sounds like it's against the law. I'm also a person of status. Why should I take the risk of being discovered by doing something that offends others?"

Zhang Wei was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Miss Laura, are you saying that you never thought about being elected as a member of the public?"

"Yes!"

Laura's answer was crisp and neat, and there was even a hint of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth, "You said that I did so many things in order to be elected as a member of the public, right?"

"Then let me tell you, if I plan to give up the election for city councilor, can it prove that I am not the instigator of this incident?"

"this……"

Zhang Wei never expected that Laura would do such a thing.

But Laura stood up in front of the court and announced loudly: "Since this opportunity is rare, I, Laura Campbell, will use this time to announce in court that I will withdraw from the next city council election. To prove my innocence!"

"Similarly, I also want to make it clear that I have nothing to do with Braque's acceptance of the case. I did not secretly instruct him to accept the case, and I did not instruct him to take action against Forensic Doctor Yang."

"As for the so-called speculation of the defendant's representative Zhang, I also completely deny it. I did not intend to attack the family of Mr. Mo, so that he would resign under the pressure of public opinion, and then get involved in his position as a member."

Under Laura's "open and honest announcement", the hustle and bustle of the court fell completely silent.

Everyone couldn't believe that this Laura actually said that she was innocent.

And in order to prove her innocence, she even announced in court that she would give up the election next time.

What does it mean?

Naturally, he made a statement.

I do this all the time, and you slander me, saying that I do whatever it takes to achieve my goals, right?

Then I just give up my purpose and tell you that I am not interested in being a member of parliament. What else can you say about me?

If I did this all for the sake of that congressman, then I give up now, can't I prove my innocence?

"This is really..."

Zhang Wei was also dumbfounded.

He originally thought that he had grasped the key point.

But looking at Laura's appearance, it seems that he has found the wrong target!

The black hand behind this scene is obviously not the other party!

"Thank you everyone, my self-certification is over!"

After Laura announced in public, she looked at Zhang Wei again, her eyes full of sarcasm.

"Lawyer Zhang, if you still want to ask questions, please feel free, but my time is precious, can you please hurry up?"

"this……"

Zhang Wei was a little speechless, because Laura's response caught him off guard.

"Since you're fine, let's change!"

Laura didn't give Zhang Wei a chance, but looked at the prosecutor's seat.

"Judge Liu, we have no questions for this witness."

A look of joy appeared on Zheng Fenyong's face, and he immediately got up and said he would not ask any questions.

In fact, it was too late for him to be happy.

Laura's answer helped the prosecution catch the defense by surprise, which is a good thing.

Moreover, Laura denied the incident, which meant that there was no black hand behind the case itself.

Our prosecution did not do anything wrong. Our prosecution troubled Yang Chunyuan for the sake of justice and the right thing.

After figuring this out, he naturally wouldn't have any other demands.

"Lawyer Zhang, do you have any questions?" Judge Liu also looked at Zhang Wei with a hint of questioning in his eyes.

"Judge Liu, we have no questions for now."

Zhang Wei was helpless, but he could only return to his seat. This time he made some mistakes.

"Well, this court announces that it's getting late today, let's adjourn the court temporarily, and we will continue on Thursday afternoon!"

Judge Liu gave everyone two days to rest, and the next hearing will be on Thursday afternoon.

Courts began to dissolve.

On the prosecution's seat, Blake breathed a sigh of relief, and then bowed to Laura who was surrounded by a group of bodyguards in the center.

This time, thanks to the performance of my young lady, the prosecution saved the day.

And Zheng Fenyong came to Zhang Wei and Yang Chunyuan again.

"Lawyer Zhang, I don't think you need to struggle anymore. There is nothing wrong with this case. Forensic Doctor Yang did make mistakes in his work!"

"Zheng Gaojian, how do you explain the pollen, how do you explain the missing Lao Cao?"

"This is indeed a problem, but it is not the first time that problems have occurred during the preservation of evidence. Moreover, based on the situation 20 years ago, it is not impossible for the evidence at that time to be contaminated with pollen. "

"As for Cao Fayi's disappearance, he has already testified after all. There is no need for the court to pursue his whereabouts. He is free to leave Dongfang Capital whenever he wants, right?"

Zheng Fenyong said, looking at Yang Chunyuan, "Yang Forensic Doctor, my suggestion is to plead guilty as soon as possible, it will be good for you, me and everyone."

"When the provincial court reconvenes on Thursday, you have to admit your fault in court. This will not be good for the investigation department, for the forensic department, or even for you and me!"

Zheng Fenyong this time is Xiaozhi's emotion and reason, but Yang Chunyuan doesn't appreciate it.

"I am very enthusiastic about my work, I will never falsify the report just to catch a murderer!"

"Forensic Doctor Yang, the plea condition I gave is still the same, and the deadline is before the court session on Thursday, I hope you think about it!"

Zheng Fenyong left.

After dropping his last sentence, he left the courtroom without looking back.

As for Yang Chunyuan, although she was strong enough after speaking just now, she felt a little helpless at this moment.

"Lawyer Zhang, the current situation..."

"Forensic Doctor Yang, I believe in you, this case is just a little difficult, but I will find the problem!"
