The elderly people were very happy to hear this, and Zhou Yi responded with a smile: "No, no, please don't misunderstand me. I am the defendant this time."
Zhou Yi was actually the defendant this time!
The old men and women looked at each other with excitement on their faces. They had to go and see this case!
"What's the reason? How did you become the defendant?" Aunt Wu asked curiously.
"Well, I had nothing to do, so I meddled in other people's business..."
Zhou Yi explained the general situation and concluded, "They are now asking me to pay for funeral expenses, emergency medical expenses, and death compensation."
Who would have thought that just going up to help stop it would lead to such consequences? It can be said that no one wants to be in such a situation.
Hearing this, Aunt Wu rubbed her temples and said, "This matter might have been more troublesome before, but it's easier now."
"I have fulfilled my obligations, so I can't assume any further responsibility."
"Okay, Aunt Wu, I'll give you some good wishes!"
There had been a mediation before, but the other party asked for 300,000 yuan right away. What was Zhou Yi thinking? He didn't even go and asked Zhou Xinran to refuse directly.
No, I don’t have money.
After chatting for a few words, Zhou Yi and Zhou Xinran went into the court. To be honest, this was the first time they entered the court without the protection of Lawyer Fang.
If it weren't for Mr. Fang's endorsement, he would never have come with Zhou Cainiao.
When I entered the courtroom, the opposing party had already arrived. Sitting with the attorney was a man in a suit and tie who looked like a legal elite!
Zhou Yi sat in the defendant's seat and turned to ask, "Xinran, do you know the lawyer named Zhang Wei?"
"I don't know him, but I think I've seen the name somewhere. Okay, Zhou Yi, don't worry, we'll definitely win this case."
Zhou Yi stopped talking. During the time when Fang Dazhuang was away, Zhou Xinran spoke much louder.
Look, she never said that before.
Across from him, Fang Fengyu sat in the plaintiff's seat. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Lawyer Zhang, what do you think of our chances of winning?"
Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "Mr. Fang, I told you before, it's hard to say now."
The judge was not Li Xusheng, but he still looked familiar. He announced the opening of the court.
The indictment was read out, the court investigation phase began, evidence was presented and cross-examined, and everything started to go through the procedures.
Watching slowly, Zhou Yi suddenly found something wrong. The lawyer opposite named Zhang Mingwei was actually suppressed by Zhou Xinran?
"The recording made by our client shows that he simply stopped the other party and did not use any excessive words or actions. The other party's claim that our client pushed him is completely unfounded!"
"On the contrary, after being stopped, Mr. Fang continued to insult our client."
This, this… Lawyer Zhang reluctantly said, “However, even though there was no pushing, the act of blocking the way alone did raise Mr. Fang’s blood pressure. Therefore, I believe there is a causal relationship between the blocking action itself and Mr. Fang’s death.”
Zhou Xinran spoke again.
"Our client was not aware of Mr. Fang's physical condition, and did not indicate any problems during the obstruction. Furthermore...therefore, there is no causal relationship between the obstruction itself and Mr. Fang's death."
Zhou Xinran spoke with great confidence. She had ruled out Zhou Yi's responsibility based on the evidence, and the death notice issued by the police station was a very important piece of evidence.
And the most important thing is that Zhou Xinran did not waste this period of time. She discovered something.
That is, a week before this, the old man Fang who passed away had been hospitalized in a hospital in Jingzhou City, and before that, he had been admitted to the hospital many times due to severe cerebral infarction.
As a result, a week ago, the doctors in the hospital did not recommend discharge, saying that the disease could relapse at any time, but Mr. Fang's family insisted that he must be discharged, and of course Mr. Fang himself listened to his children.
So I went through the discharge procedures, and there is evidence for all these things.
"Therefore, we believe that the other party ignored the doctor's advice and forcibly completed the discharge procedures. They must have tacitly known that Mr. Fang's health could have problems at any time, but they still allowed him to stay outside. This is the main reason for the unfortunate incident!"
"Therefore, we have reason to believe that it was the other party's failure to fulfill their obligation to support their father that led to this misfortune!"
Wow! Zhou was stunned. Zhou the rookie was so capable now. He didn't provide this evidence, but Zhou Xinran took the initiative to investigate it.
And he killed her directly in court!
Didn't you say that I must take responsibility and make compensation? Why, as a filial son, would you not treat your father for no reason?
"Huh?" Zhang Wei, standing opposite him, looked at his client and asked, "Didn't you tell me about this?"
"Therefore, we believe that Mr. Fang's death was something no one wanted to happen. However, the other party, simply because of the connection between the events and the continuity of time, attributed this misfortune to a defendant who was legally and morally innocent. This is not the fairness and justice that the law pursues!"
The voice was sonorous and powerful. At this moment, Zhou Yi even felt that Zhou Xinran had some of the demeanor of Fang Da...
The court debate is over and closing statements are beginning.
Zhang Wei had already sat down and started organizing the materials. He didn't think much of this case. It was just an ordinary dispute case. If he lost, he lost.
During his legal career, Mr. Zhang lost nine out of ten lawsuits, all of which were trivial matters.
