Flying Gulls Never Land

"Brother!"

Shen Xiaoshi and I entered the court and were about to go to the court when we heard a cry not far away. Shen Xiaoshi seemed to recognize the sound and looked at the sound source.

The round looking boy came running over with a puff of breath. He looked at Shen Xiaoshi shyly and finally said, "brother, I'm sorry."

He wanted to pull Shen Xiaoshi's hand. Shen Xiaoshi pushed aside and avoided. The boy's face showed an injured look.

Shen Xiaoshi looked at him expressionless: "you want to say 'I'm sorry' is not the object of me, you have nothing to apologize for me."

Tang Zhuo's face was white and he could not speak.

Shen Xiaoshi's eyes are full of complex emotions. What else can I say? I catch a glimpse of the Tang family in the distance. They are coming in a fierce way. They are afraid of conflict, so they pull his sleeve.

Shen Xiaoshi looked at a group of people, sighed and said to me, "brother Feng, let's go." Then he ignored Tang Zhuo and left.

On the way back, I looked back. The boy stayed in the same place alone and was still looking at Shen Xiaoshi. His figure was particularly lonely.

In this trial, Sheng Minou summoned Dr. Xu Weibo from the mental health center as the expert witness of the defense to prove that Shen Xiaoshi's mother was suffering from depression due to years of domestic violence and her mental condition was extremely unstable.

In the face of this, the prosecution was prepared to question the doctor's professionalism through cross examination, trying to convince the jury and the judge that the other party's assessment of Yao Jing's mental state was not credible.

The prosecutor held a stack of materials and showed them to the public: "the complaint rate of Dr. Xu in the health center has been high in the past five years. Many patients think that their condition has not improved as promised by his diagnosis and treatment. Obviously, Dr. Xu always likes to exaggerate his own words to highlight his authority. "

Doctor Xu was questioned by the public. His face turned blue and his lips trembled with anger: "you are slander!"

Sheng Minou made a gesture of calmness to Dr. Xu. At the same time, he stood up and nodded to the judge: "Dr. Xu is not the first time to testify as a witness. No one has ever questioned the professionalism of Dr. Xu before. Since the prosecution doesn't believe in Dr. Xu, we can use the doctor designated by him. It's OK. She is not afraid of the shadow, and Ms. Yao's mental state will not change because of the doctor's change. "

The judge looked at the prosecutor and frowned: "prosecution, do you need to change the designated doctor? I would like to remind you that you did not make any special requirements for the selection of doctors when the defense submitted the application for appraisal. "

I heard Shen Xiaoshi say that since the case has attracted the attention of all parties, the judge does not want to create extra troubles and hopes to have a result as soon as possible. Therefore, he is very disgusted with unnecessary delay.

It seems that the prosecutor did not expect Sheng min ou to be so hard tempered. In the face of the judge's stern face, he was a little weak.

"No, your honor." He sat down resentfully.

After that, the prosecution summoned Tang Zhipeng's colleagues and neighbors. Both praised Tang Zhipeng, saying that he did not believe that he was a violent man, and that he was honest and friendly to people.

Shen Xiaoshi tightly pursed his lips, and his eyes were full of anger. If it hadn't been for the court, I suspect he would have stood up and pointed at each other's nose and yelled at them, asking if they were blind.

In the middle of the trial, I suddenly received a call from Yi Dazhuang. I looked at the serious atmosphere in the court and ordered to refuse to answer. Just about to send a message to him saying that it was not convenient to answer the phone, the mobile phone vibrated again.

It seems urgent to persevere in this way. Afraid of something life and death, I had to run outside the court to answer the phone.

"What's the matter? Mother Shi is in court. "

Yi Dazhuang seems to be walking around, breathing a little short: "brother Feng, I sent you something, you received Yes, put them away. I'll come to you in a few days

"Did you send me your things?" I was confused, "did you fill in the wrong address for online shopping?"

"No, almost. Please put it away for me, brother. I'll invite you to dinner later

After repeated instructions, he hung up in a hurry.

I stare back to the home page of the mobile phone screen, inexplicably feel strange.

It's just the wrong thing. Do you need him to be so eager? I don't know. I thought he sent me a huge sum of money.

The cat went back to the auditorium and found that the prosecution had summoned Tang Zhuo again. The second time the little fat man stood in the witness box, perhaps more connected than the first time, and his expression was more embarrassed.

The prosecutor's question was the same as before, but when he asked if he had witnessed his father's violence against his mother, he was silent this time.

The young man looked down at the ground, as if there was something to attract his attention, so that he could see.

The prosecutor frowned and asked again, "Don Zhuo, have you ever witnessed your father's violence against his mother?"

There was silence in the court. Even the reporters stopped typing. There was only a little noise from the air conditioner running overhead.

In such a quiet environment, the boy slowly raised his head.

"Yes." His voice is simple and powerful.

The crowd was in uproar, and the media on the scene looked at each other, and their fingers were pounding their keyboard as fast as the wind.The prosecutor was stunned for a moment, even doubted his hearing: "what?"

Tang Zhuo swallowed his saliva, and his voice was louder: "yes, I have seen it! On my birthday, my father grabbed my mother's hair and banged it against the wall, punched her and kicked her. I went to stop her. He pushed me into the room, locked the door and refused me to go out. He is very different from what he looks like at home. He is very kind to me, but he is not a good husband

Yao Jing's face was blank for a moment, and then she leaned toward Tang Zhuo excitedly with tears in her eyes.

Tang Zhuo suddenly changed his testimony and caught the prosecutor off guard. He asked to be listed as a hostile witness. The judge agreed.

"Are you under pressure from your mother?" The prosecutor looked at this side of the auditorium with a certain purpose, "that's not what you said last time."

Tang Zhuo trembled and muttered, "I lied last time."

Sheng Minou stood up and objected: "oppose the malicious speculation of the prosecution without basis. Now it seems that the witness's two statements are inconsistent, which is more like the pressure from the prosecution in the first trial. " With a smile on his lips, he looked at the politeness, but his words were merciless. "I wonder if the prosecution has put undue pressure on an underage in order to convict as soon as possible?"

The prosecutor was so directly questioned by him that he could not hang his face, and angrily rebuked: "you are also malicious speculation!"

"I'll take it back."

"You..."

"Enough!" The judge struck the mallet at the right time to interrupt the confrontation.

"In view of the special identity of this witness and the difference between the two testimonies, it is hereby decided not to accept his testimony. I hope the jury will have its own judgment." He then announced an hour long recess and then went straight to the closing statement.

This also means that within today's time, the jury will have a verdict and the case will have a final conclusion.

During the recess, the prosecutor made a final attempt, pleading guilty for a three-year probation, which Yao Jing refused.

In the discussion room, Wu Yi was happy to jump to the cha cha: "victory is in sight, victory is in sight, within this hour, the jury should form a general opinion, and the subsequent closing statement is only more clear about their judgment, and the result can be reached in half an hour at most."

Although he didn't say it clearly, his performances showed that he was sure to win.

The defense advocates self-defense. If the jury finds Yao Jing innocent, she will be released in court.

Shen Xiaoshi has been worrying about his mother's matter recently. He can't sleep and eat well. If he wants to have a result today, he will be excited.

I put my hand on the table, and he listened to Wu Yi's words and held my wrist tightly. He said excitedly, "I've been bothering you these days. No matter what the result is, I'll lay out a table some other day. Thank you very much."

Sheng min gull sat opposite us. He lifted his head from his mobile phone and said with a light smile, "you are welcome."

As if a conditioned reflex was generated, I was immediately cut by a knife, and I quickly earned it out of Shen Xiaoshi's hand and moved the chair for a long distance.

Shen Xiaoshi was immersed in his emotions and didn't care. Wu Yi suddenly burst out a series of coughs, turning his head to one side, and his ears were red with cough.

"Lawyer Wu, are you ok?" Shen Xiaoshi saw that he had a bad cough, and said he cared.

Wu Yi didn't look back. She raised her hand and waved, indicating that she had nothing to do.

At the end of the recess, the people were seated again in order.

Both the prosecution and the defense have to say a round of closing statements. This is the last chance to win the trust of the jury, which can be said to be of vital importance.

For the first time, I heard about this link. Compared with the serious trial procedure, this link is more like a demonstration of the ability of the prosecution and the defense to make their speeches.

Well organized, easy to understand, but also exciting.

"I was an orphan, and when I was three, I was adopted by my adoptive parents." Sheng Minou, with a pen in his hand, paced slowly in the open space of the court. "When I was 14, my adoptive father died in a car accident. He was run over from the back by a truck. After being sent to the hospital, the doctor looked at his wound and directly covered the sheet back, saying that there was no need to carry out any rescue. My brother cried so badly that I never saw him cry like that

He pauses for a moment and then says, "questioning why Ms. Yao didn't leave her husband and why she didn't call the police was like questioning why my adoptive father didn't avoid the car in the first place."

"Can't he hear the car coming?"

"Can't she see that he's drunk?"

"If a stranger suddenly comes up on the street and uses violence against you, will you fight back? The answer is yes. Then why should we be a husband and wonder why the wife should fight back? In this alternative proposition, either you die or I die. As long as Ms. Yao is a normal human being, out of biological instinct, she will try her best to save her life. But it's not murder, it's not intentional, it's just out of legitimate and reasonable self-defense. "

After the prosecution and defense finished speaking, the judge gave the jury ten minutes to reach a consensus.

For ten minutes, Shen Xiaoshi was extremely nervous and kept rubbing his hands, which made me nervous.I went to see Sheng min gull, but he was very calm, half closed his eyes, and sat motionless in the defense seat. If I did not look closely, I would think that he was asleep.

Ten minutes later, the representative of the jury rose and bowed to the judge.

All eyes were on him, waiting for the jury to decide.

Time seems to be still and everyone holds his breath.

The other party cleared his throat and said, "after the jury unanimously found that the murder charge was not established, justifiable defense was established, and Yao Jing was ruled Not guilty. "

As soon as the word "innocence" came out, it was as if a hammer had hit my heart, and the whole soul was shocked.

The first time I went to see Sheng min gull, I saw him lift his eyelids and smile at the corner of his lips.

I don't know who started first. The audience began to clap and finally formed a group.

Shen Xiaoshi hugged me and cried with joy: "we won, we won, brother Feng, we won!"

My eyes are all glued to Sheng min gull. If it wasn't for everyone's watching, I would like to rush up and hold him around.

Sheng min Ou then stood up and put his hand into his trouser pocket. His eyes swept to the auditorium, interwoven with my sight.

I grinned at him. The smile on his face was fleeting. I opened my eyes by mistake and shook hands with Yao Jing.

Eh? His eyes are not right.

Shen Xiaoshi hugged me and jumped and screamed. I suddenly came back to myself. The whole person seemed to be blown by the cold wind in January, shivering and hastily pushing him away.

It's over. How do I feel like a cheating husband all the time, worrying about being caught by his wife all the time.

It seems that I have made a big death myself. At first, in order to force the gulls to fall into the trap, it is easy to use it, but there are also a lot of sequelae, but now it has become a burden. So now what I do, I feel that I emit a strong smell of scum man, or that kind of flowery belly, call everyone is the heart of the baby, pedal a few boats cheat gun dead scum man.
