Chapter 1263 Super Body 41
The defendant burst into tears upon hearing this, jumped up on the spot and cursed loudly.
Xining took his time and secretly informed the repairman that there was a problem with the monitoring equipment in the security room. Then the surveillance in the room was directly broadcast to the screen used for playing evidence in the court, as well as the notice screens outside the court door and in the hall.
Then he sat there, looking at the table, meditating motionless, scolding him as he pleased, and making sure that every word he scolded would pay a heavy price.
In the court, everyone was waiting. Suddenly something popped out of the screen, so everyone turned to the screen.
The notice screens in the court hall and outside the door suddenly changed from lines of notices to dynamic images and sound, attracting everyone's attention.
Many people also reminded their companions who had their backs turned to look quickly.
The judge couldn't stand it anymore and told the defendant sharply to pay attention to his emotions, otherwise he would ask the bailiff to take him out.
The opposing lawyer tried hard to hold the defendant and comforted him nicely. But I was thinking in my heart, how could I be so unlucky to end up with such a master? What I thought was a simple case turned out to be like this.
After being warned that if he did this again, he would be taken out by the bailiff, the defendant also sat down angrily.
The judge asked again: "Then the defendant is willing to mediate for 15 million?"
The defendant's lawyer said seriously: "We are willing to pay one million." Set a price first, and then discuss it.
"One million!" The defendant jumped up again, pointed and shouted: "She is not even worth ten thousand."
Yep, it’s not up to you to decide whether it’s worth it or not. Not to mention the millions of chips in your head, just the judicial achievements and lawyer’s license you have in your hand now, and you can get a basic salary of over 10,000 yuan in any law firm.
The lawyer put his hands on the defendant's shoulders and pressed the defendant down. His expression was serious and a bit ferocious, and he warned: "Don't do this again, otherwise you will really lose."
He raised his head and regained his composure: "One million."
Okay, so the judge asked the plaintiff for his opinion whether to accept an out-of-court mediation of one million yuan.
"Twenty million!" Xining was still sitting very calmly. He refused to pay out fifteen million anyway, so he simply ordered more.
"What? You..." The defendant once again "couldn't control his emotions."
"I'm sorry, please wait a moment." The lawyer smiled awkwardly, turned around and grabbed the defendant's clothes with both hands.
There was no need for the judge to call the bailiff, the lawyer just pushed the defendant out.
As soon as the defendant was pushed out of the door, he actually became quiet. After all, there were people coming and going outside. If the people on the jury saw him losing his temper, it would lower his support rate. After all, this happened ten years ago, and there is still hope that the defense will be successful.
He returned to his seat in the courtroom, straightened his wrinkled collar and straightened his tie. But something feels wrong. Why are everyone here looking at him? Could it be that he is too handsome? No way.
The defendant's lawyer in the room: "Let me kindly remind you that my client has no assets. Even if you win the case, you won't be able to compensate that much."
"Then give it a try." Xining didn't say much and sat quietly. The lawyer felt that this young woman was difficult to deal with, even if she had winning evidence, and even without that evidence, it would still be a tough battle.
With a score of 270 or more on a 300-point exam, it is still a relatively difficult judicial exam. You should know that there is still a chance to pass. Generally, the pass rate is 50%. In some places, the pass rate is 70%. It may be quite difficult to get high scores.
The lawyer thought of something and looked at her uncertainly. But I didn’t dare to ask. If I asked, wouldn’t it be equivalent to reminding the other party? Before the other party says something, you can't hit the gun on your own.
The judge then announced: "Mediation is invalid, go back to court and continue."
Xining and the lawyer walked side by side, Xining lowered his voice: "You guessed it right..."
The lawyer took a breath and walked into the court. He just hoped that it wouldn't be the case. I hoped that it wouldn't be the case.
After sitting down, the lawyer and the defendant whispered and discussed, and the judge declared that the mediation was invalid and continued the case. The judge first asks the plaintiff what other witnesses need to be summoned or what evidence is left.
Xining replied, no more for now. Anyway, according to the laws of this country, new evidence can be added and new witnesses can be summoned at any time before the case is closed. If the evidence is insufficient, you can also request to hold the court for a few days.
So the judge asked the defendant's lawyer whether he needed to call witnesses and provide evidence.
The opposing lawyer stood up: "I request that Avril Austin be summoned."
This is why we plan to start questioning the plaintiff in court! Compared to the plaintiff who summoned the defendant from the beginning, this time the plaintiff obviously suffered a disadvantage because as a witness, she could not also serve as a lawyer and no one could stand up and protest on her behalf.
Xining stood on the inquiry platform, put his hand on the scripture and swore to tell the truth, and then sat down.
"I pulled out the files from the police station. Fortunately, they are still there." The lawyer began to stand there and talk.
The truth in the file at that time was really unfavorable to the owner. The owner had a low IQ and was clumsy in speech. At that time, she only cried and choked with difficulty to explain the general story, saying that the defendant burned her house down. But there was no evidence, no one testified for her.
"It says here that due to Avril Austin's condition, her confession cannot be used as evidence." The lawyer read brilliantly: "There is also an IQ test report from that time."
The lawyer turned to look at Xining jokingly: "Only seventy points."
Xining fired back: "It just meets the standards of a normal person."
The lawyer showed a hint of cunning: "Then why do you think your confession at that time cannot be used as evidence?"
"It's a matter of age." Xining responded calmly: "When your parents were burned to death in front of you when you were nine, you might not be as good as me."
Although what he said was a tragic thing, seeing the slightly stiff face of the lawyer made the jury and some people present couldn't help but smile.
It seems that the strategy needs to be changed, so the lawyer said: "Now I will ask you some questions. Please just answer 'yes' and 'no'!"
"Yes!"
It didn't take even a second, it was so fast, and some people couldn't hold back their laughter. Curiosity arose as to what questions and answers would come next. Because we only need to answer yes or no, there are often questions that get people involved, even to the point of collapse.
The lawyer raised his eyebrows and began to ask: "Do you think an accident that had no evidence ten years ago can still be established now?"
"Yes!"
Lawyer: "Did you remember it wrong? You must know that such a serious thing happened..."
"No!"
Lawyer: "I haven't finished speaking yet, please don't interrupt..."
"Yes!"
Lawyer: "Please don't interrupt me."
"No!"
Finally someone laughed.
The lawyer rolled his eyes, collected himself, and continued to ask. But you can't pick ordinary questions. The other party who got high scores in the judicial examination will definitely not be easily bypassed.
