Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Chapter 11 Defense Witness, Best Friend Feng Li Appears in Court

The 10 minute break is over.

Re-open the court.

"Your Honor, we request the addition of a defense witness!"

As soon as the court session opened, Zhang Hui made a request.

Geng Hongxia glanced at Zhang Wei, who was very calm and not surprised at all.

"Since the prosecution has no objection, can you explain the situation of the witness?"

"We request to add classmate Jia Meili as a witness!"

The witness proposed by Zhang Hui turned out to be the defendant himself.

The law students looked at each other.

What's the situation, the plaintiff came to the stage by himself, and now the defendant will also come to the stage?

On the contrary, the students from other departments all had the attitude of watching a play.

Anyway, they didn't study law, and they only cared about how big the melon is today. As one of the parties involved, Jia Meili came on stage, which was obviously more topical.

However, Jia Meili was the last witness added, and the round was also ranked last among defense witnesses.

"The defense summoned the first witness, Li Yan, to appear in court."

At the hearing stand, a girl got up and walked onto the witness stand.

"Please tell the witness who you are."

"I'm Jia Meili's classmate and roommate for four years in college."

Zhang Hui smiled slightly: "Oh, roommate, then it means that you know Jia Meili very well."

"be opposed to!"

But at this moment, Zhang Wei stood up from the plaintiff's seat. He looked at Zhang Hui and said, "The defense lawyer didn't ask any questions!"

Geng Hongxia glanced at Zhang Hui, "The objection is valid, please ask the defense lawyer to question the witness!"

"Sorry Your Honor!"

Zhang Hui's rhythm was interrupted, and he apologized quickly, and at the same time gave Zhang Wei a bitter look.

"I would like to ask, since you know Jia Meili so well, what do you think about his academic performance? Do you need someone to help with homework?"

"be opposed to!"

Zhang Hui just asked a question when Zhang Wei interrupted her again.

"The defense is leading witnesses to speculate!"

Geng Hongxia looked at Zhang Hui with some disappointment, and sighed, "The objection is valid."

Zhang Wei smiled and sat down slowly.

And this scene was also seen by Yang Qingquan and the professors in the hearing seat.

"It's a good tactic to use opposition to continuously interrupt the rhythm of the defense. But this tactic is only effective for newcomer lawyers like Zhang Hui, and masters won't be manipulated like this by you kid."

"But having said that, you kid is obviously a year younger than Zhang Hui, where did you learn these tricks?"

Yang Qingquan suspects that someone in the department must have given Zhang Wei a little trouble. If there is no expert guidance behind this rich trial experience...

Who will believe it?

Without mentioning how they made up their minds, the court fell into a moment of silence.

Zhang Hui took a deep breath and repeatedly told himself in his heart: Don't be angry, don't be angry, he is just a junior!

After 5 seconds, she calmed down.

Looking at Li Yan again, this time Zhang Hui behaved well, and asked in a clear and simple tone: "Li Yan, as far as you know, how is classmate Jia Meili's grades?"

"Student Jia's grades have been improving steadily."

"How about Jia's study attitude?"

Li Yan recalled for a moment, and said: "Very well, at least I saw her study many times until late at night before resting."

"Do you think her improved grades are the result of her own hard work?"

"I think it's possible. After all, she's such a hardworking person, it's not difficult to improve her grades."

"So, did classmate Jia Meili mention Zhang Wei's name when she was in the dormitory with you?"

"I haven't heard them mention it. I know Zhang Wei is still because of the campus forum."

"My question is over!" Zhang Hui smiled and walked back to the dock.

Zhang Wei got up and it was his turn to cross-examine.

"Student Li Yan, you just said that Jia Meili's grades have been improving steadily, right?"

"Yes."

"This is really a statement of high EQ." Zhang Wei teased, and then his expression changed: "I want to know, what if it is replaced by a statement of low EQ?"

"Objection, the prosecution is harassing witnesses!" Zhang Hui immediately stood up and interrupted.

"Zhang Wei, pay attention to the way you ask questions." Geng Hongxia gave a proper reminder.

"Sorry, it's my fault. I didn't think it through. After all, the witness has been roommates with the defendant for four years, so he really needs to save face when he speaks." Zhang Wei smiled apologetically and admitted his mistake.

Then he reorganized the language and asked:

"Student Li Yan, let me make an analogy like this. If the test scores are divided into 5 levels, excellent, good, pass, fail and super poor. Now please tell me, how is the test score of Jia Meili in the first semester? ?”

"This..." Li Yan glanced at Jia Meili who was on the dock, and hesitated to speak.

"Witness, please answer my question directly!"

Zhang Wei stood between the two at the right time, narrowing his eyes slightly: "You have to remember, you are on the witness stand, and you are still a law student, so you shouldn't give false testimony, right?"

Facing Zhang Wei's frightening gaze, Li Yan thought for a while and replied, "Is it a failure?"

"Hahaha, classmate Li Yan, you are really saving face for Jia Meili. The average score in the assessment is single digits. If you fail in the bottom ten of the total score, then who can be considered super poor?"

As he said that, Zhang Wei winked at Luo Xiaobu, who immediately picked up the few pieces of paper in front of him and walked towards the trial seat.

"Your Excellency, in response to the testimony of the witnesses, the prosecution submitted classmate Jia Meili's four-year college transcripts as evidence!"

With that said, Zhang Wei followed the backup file that Luo Xiaobu handed over, and questioned Li Yan again: "Excuse me, Li Yan, what is the grade of the first semester's assessment, how can it be regarded as a failure, and how can it be regarded as a super poor? I believe you can pass the exam." Going to law school isn't stupid, is it?"

Li Yan couldn't see Jia Meili, so she could only look at Zhang Wei, lowered her head and said, "That's my memory, her grades in the first semester should be considered extremely poor!"

"And what about the second semester?"

"It's been too long, I forgot!"

"It's okay, I have a report card here, you can compare it and find out!"

Zhang Wei handed the report card to Li Yan and asked her to read it by herself.

Li Yan looked at the glaring red numbers on the report card, and said helplessly, "The second semester is also super poor."

"What about the first assessment in the second year?"

Li Yan glanced at Zhang Wei's face before she dared to speak: "Super... super bad."

"What about the total score in the first semester of the second year?"

Li Yan looked at the slightly fluctuating numbers on the report card, and after thinking for a while, she replied, "Walk between super bad and failing!"

Zhang Wei immediately regained his spirits: "Yo Hoo, it looks like your grades have improved!"

"be opposed to!"

Zhang Hui couldn't bear it anymore, and objected again.

"Lawyer for the prosecution, please ask the right question!" Geng Hongxia's expression changed and she glared over.

"Sorry, it's my fault." Zhang Wei said a little bit, then looked around, and said loudly: "Seeing this, everyone may be surprised. How can a person with poor grades in the first year be the first year in the second year?" During the semester, did your grades start to improve?"

"According to the defense witness Li Yan, Jia Meili studied hard, right? Then why did she get such poor grades in the first semester of the first year, but still didn't make any progress in the second semester?"

Zhang Wei raised his voice by tens of decibels: "Let me tell you why, because in the first semester of the second year, Jia Meili found me who was studying in the library, and it was from this time that I conducted a pair-up with her. One tutoring homework!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Yan again: "Witness, now look at the results of the second semester of the second year!"

Li Yan lowered her head subconsciously, and glanced at the report card, "I have improved, most of the subjects are passed, only three failed!"

"Well, it seems that the effect of tutoring is very good!" Zhang Wei smiled, and continued to ask: "What about the first semester of the third year?"

"All passed, and one was even promoted to good!"

"Second term?"

"All pass, good subjects increased."

"The first semester of the fourth year?"

"All of them are good or above, and there is even one excellent."

"Well, thank you witness for your cooperation, my questioning is over"

Zhang Wei took back the report card and looked at the jury: "In addition, let me add that my tutoring ended in the first semester of this year, exactly two years ago. As for the results of the tutoring, I believe everyone knows it well, right? "

After he finished speaking, he walked back to the plaintiff's seat, and even winked at Zhang Hui, making the latter look gloomy.

In the jury, many girls looked at each other, obviously thinking a little bit.

In the hearing booth, many people were whispering and discussing something.

"Using the other party's witnesses to disprove the information, this kid is amazing!" Yang Qingquan watched Zhang Wei sit back, and praised him again and again.

Zhang Wei's trial strength is simply that of an experienced veteran, not at the level of old fritters, and even comparable to some senior trial lawyers.

Although he has not been in court for a long time, he also knows that in addition to rich knowledge, court trial experience is especially important for an excellent lawyer.

Otherwise, no matter how rich your theory is, it will be useless once you are unable to speak in court.

The current situation is obviously one-sided towards Zhang Wei.

Zhang Hui and Jia Meili, who were sitting in the dock, also saw that the situation was not good.

"No, we must change the current situation quickly, otherwise we may not win a single vote for the 12 jurors!"

Zhang Hui winked at Feng Li beside Zhang Hui, and got up quickly:

"The defense summoned the second witness Feng Li to appear in court!"

Feng Li quickly stepped onto the witness stand, and the audience was silent.

A series of gazes intertwined on Feng Li's body, making her a little embarrassed.

"Feng Li, please tell us about your relationship with my client."

"Jia Meili and I are roommates, and also her best friend!"

"Since you're a good girlfriend, you should know a lot about Jia Meili, right?"

"Yes!"

"Can you tell us what kind of person Jia Meili is?"

Hearing Zhang Hui raise this question, the corners of Zhang Wei's mouth raised slightly.

Sure enough, as he expected, seeing that there was no way to change the tutoring matter, the other party was about to change his way of defense, and decided to use Jia Meili's personality as the subject of his defense.

Without hesitation, Feng Li replied seriously: "Student Jia has always been a very good person."

Zhang Hui nodded: "Can you give me a specific example?"

"Yes!" Feng Li recalled after thinking for a while:

"Jia Meili's family background is actually not good, but she relied on her own diligence and hard work to be admitted to the law school. In the first year of entering the school, she also worked part-time and studied, relying on her own efforts to earn tuition. You said that she was the first The one-year assessment results are very poor, in fact, she just can't find a balance between part-time work and study, after all, she is also an ordinary person, how can she have both?"

"But Zhang Wei said that my client got such good grades through his tutoring?"

"How is it possible? It's all due to Meili. She knows that academic performance is very important, so she started studying hard every day until late in the second semester!"

Feng Li sneered as she said, "As for Zhang Wei, she only approached her intentionally because she wanted to get in touch with our family Lili. I've already seen her intentions!"

"Especially during tutoring at night, she still messed with our family Lili. If I hadn't happened to show up many times and stopped her, maybe our family Lili would have been given by Zhang Wei..."

In the end, apart from anger, her expression was also extremely worried.

"You fart!" Hearing Feng Li's words, Xia Qianyue in the plaintiff's seat couldn't help it.

This Feng Li is simply confounding black and white, falsely accusing Zhang Wei of impure motives, and even tampering with Jia Meili, this is simply a fantasy.

After knowing Zhang Wei for so long, she discovered that Zhang Wei was an honest child at heart, how could he do what Feng Li said.

"What I'm saying is the truth!" Feng Li was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and immediately responded to Xia Qianyue's provocation with her arms akimbo.

"Silence!" At the trial seat, Geng Hongxia couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly knocked on the awl as a warning.

Xia Qianyue was held back by Zhang Wei, and Feng Li also sat down slowly.

"It seems that student Xia has a different opinion?" Zhang Hui pointed out.

Feng Li smiled again, and looked at Xia Qianyue with a provocative face: "Xia Qianyue and Zhang Wei have been together for a long time, her testimony is not credible, the two of them may have joined forces to bully our Lili Woolen cloth!"

"You..." Xia Qianyue was about to have another attack, but was held back by Zhang Wei.

"Hanhan, calm down, this Feng Li can only dance now, I will make her cry later!" Zhang Wei on the side hurriedly comforted her.

Xia Qianyue's face was full of anger, she gritted her teeth, her pretty face was almost crooked, but after hearing what the people around her said, she felt a little better.

in court.

"Oh, so the two of them must be in a relationship?" Zhang Hui looked at the jury box and deliberately raised this point.

If Zhang Wei and Xia Qianyue had a close relationship, then the previous testimony and testimony, even the evidence records of the transfer cannot be fully accepted.

"My question is over!" Zhang Hui smiled and returned to his seat.

Her goal was fulfilled, let Feng Li suppress Zhang Wei and protect Jia Meili at the same time.

Although it is impossible for the jury to believe it immediately, as long as Feng Li resists Zhang Wei's next round of attack, Feng Li will act for a while and portray Zhang Wei as a guy with impure purpose and evil intentions.

Although this trick is a little dishonorable, who made her want to win more.

"Student, let me see how you will attack, Feng Li and Jia Meili, I have practiced with them many times, it is impossible to find a chance for you!"

Zhang Hui looked at Zhang Wei with a confident expression.

Zhang Wei went to court and looked at Feng Li in front of him.

"you……"

"Zhang Wei, you are a womanizer!"

Before he could speak, Feng Li had already stood up with her hips in her hands.

This scene surprised the jury and the hearing.

"Your Excellency, I didn't ask any questions. Why did the witness take the initiative to speak?"

Zhang Wei smiled slightly and looked towards the trial seat.

Geng Hongxia straightened her face, and quickly warned: "Witnesses, please don't be subjective. What you have to do is answer the questions, otherwise I will judge you to be in contempt of court!"

"Oh, I see!" Feng Li sat down cautiously, but looked at Zhang Wei with hostility.

She even made up her mind that no matter what Zhang Wei asked, she would eventually portray Zhang Wei as a lustful and shameless person.

"Ahem, Feng Li, I'm going to ask a question, don't get excited~"

Zhang Wei reminded her and asked, "You said just now that your Lili studies late every day?"

"Yes!" Feng Li nodded firmly.

"Okay, I want to ask how you guys studied. You were able to improve your grades so much. You must have made some special review plan, right? I'm curious how classmate Jia Meili improved steadily from extremely poor grades, and finally They were actually good in all subjects, and even achieved an excellent grade."

This question stumped Feng Li.

She doesn't know what study plan it is.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Feng Li quickly said: "We didn't make any plans, but we study until late every day, and Lili and I both stay up late to read!"

"Oh~ So I stayed up all night to read, it's hard work!" Zhang Wei showed an expression of sudden realization, with an exaggerated expression.

But then, the change in his expression immediately faded away, and he straightened his face, looking at Feng Li: "The story is well written, but unfortunately I know you are lying!"

"Impossible, I'm telling the truth!" Feng Li quickly denied.

Zhang Wei smiled slightly and looked towards the judging seat: "Your Excellency, in view of Feng Li's testimony, we want to subpoena a rebuttal witness!"

"Objection!" Zhang Hui stopped immediately, "We have not received any notice in advance, and the witnesses are not even on the witness list!"

"Zhang Wei, what's your situation?" Geng Hongxia looked at Zhang Wei, waiting for an answer.

"Your Excellency, I summoned witnesses because there were contradictions in Feng Li's testimony. All this is to prove the fairness of the trial. Please allow me!"

Geng Hongxia thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "If it is to prove the accuracy of the witness's testimony, then the court will naturally allow it!"

Zhang Wei looked towards the front row of the hearing booth and shouted: "We have summoned the rebuttal witness Han Yu to testify in court!"

In the hearing booth, a girl wearing glasses slowly got up.

Feng Li had no choice but to step down from her seat and let the witness stand out.

"Han Yu, who is this?"

Zhang Hui looked at Jia Meili, a little strange.

"I don't know her either, but she looks familiar..."

Jia Meili looked at Han Yu, but couldn't remember when she had seen him.

"Han Yu, please tell everyone about your relationship with Jia Meili."

"Okay, my name is Han Yu, and I'm studying at the Journalism Department of Dongda University. I live in Room 405, Building 4, Female Dormitory Building. Jia Meili's dormitory is 406. We happen to be neighbors."

Hearing this explanation, Jia Meili suddenly realized that it was from the dormitory next door.

Zhang Wei nodded and continued to ask: "Student Feng Li said just now that the defendant Jia Meili often stays up late and studies late. Do you have a different opinion?"

Hearing this question, Han Yu showed endless pain on his face and clenched his fists.

"They're just farting!"
