Chapter 746 was recognized
When Deng Sisi heard what Lawyer He said, she suddenly raised her head and looked at her father.
Seeing Deng Xinrong staring at her fiercely, Deng Sisi felt a little timid out of instinct. She panicked and whispered, "No, I, I didn't say that. I didn't mean that. They forced me to do that."
The judge frowned: "Defendant Deng Sisi, was your confession made voluntarily? Was it made under duress?"
Deng Sisi avoided looking around and shook her head in panic: "I was so scared at the time. The police kept chasing me and asking questions. I answered them, but they kept asking. I had no choice but to answer according to what they said..."
The judge's expression became serious. If the suspect recanted his confession in court on the grounds that the police forced him to confess, an investigation might be launched into whether the police conducted the interrogation in compliance with regulations, and the prosecution process would have to be repeated.
The judge looked directly at Deng Sisi and said, "If you believe the police have engaged in coercion, you can apply to exclude illegal evidence, but you must have sufficient grounds."
Deng Sisi's defense lawyer immediately seized the opportunity: "Your Honor, my client has just reached adulthood and is still a student. Her psychological endurance is relatively weak. Facing potentially leading police questions, she may make a confession against her will. I request that the court review the authenticity of this transcript!"
The judge nodded: "This court will consider this."
Seeing this, Lawyer He immediately added: "Even if we exclude some of Deng Sisi's confessions, the existing chain of evidence is still complete.
Deng Xinrong's motive for incitement is clear. Deng Sisi's actions are highly consistent with Deng Xinrong's statements. Combined with the witness testimony, it is sufficient to determine that Deng Xinrong committed a crime of incitement!
Deng Xinrong's lawyer refused to give in: "Objection! Incitement to a crime requires proof that the defendant engaged in explicit incitement, not just 'hinting' or 'complaining'. The existing evidence cannot prove that Deng Xinrong directly instructed Deng Sisi to commit the crime!"
The two sides exchanged heated arguments, and the law students sitting in the gallery with me were listening with great interest, their eyes shining. The judge finally adjourned the court for half an hour.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Bin came to talk to me again.
"Classmate, my name is Chen Bin. What's your last name?"
Since I had met him twice before, I politely replied, "My name is Xia Yimeng."
Seeing that I looked a little indifferent, he seemed a little embarrassed. "Um, I didn't mean to strike up a conversation with you. I just thought you looked familiar."
"I know. We saw it once in court last time." I said nonchalantly.
"No, no, besides last time, I think I've seen you somewhere else." Chen Bin looked like he was thinking hard.
I secretly rolled my eyes and said that I was not trying to flirt with her because her words were so old-fashioned.
Suddenly, a boy next to him whispered, "Was she on the last episode of 'Youth Collision'? She looks familiar to me."
Another voice rang out, "Now that you mention it, I remember it too. That's right! It was her. She and the STG president were even showing off their affection at the end!"
"No wonder her family was able to hire Lawyer He for both lawsuits. Her fiancé must be very wealthy."
As soon as I said this, the students around me looked at me. I suddenly felt embarrassed. I didn't expect to be recognized here.
Before I could even think of a response, a female voice rang out from the group of students, "So it's her! Xia's skill in finding a boyfriend is truly something we should all learn from. With a fiancé like that, she needs no evidence. No wonder her brother and sister-in-law turned against her. It's hard not to win a lawsuit like this."
This sarcastic tone clearly means that my family paid someone to make a false confession.
The students around obviously knew the girl, and they looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
My face darkened and I was about to retort, but Xiaoyan spoke before me, "Classmate, are you studying law too?"
The girl probably didn't expect Xiao Yan to ask this. She was slightly stunned and replied proudly, "I'm here with my boyfriend. My boyfriend is a top student in the law department."
As she spoke, she deliberately reached out and held the arm of a boy next to her. I glanced at the boy. He was not good-looking, but he was wearing a suit of famous brands.
The girl is pretty and dresses fashionably. Judging from her appearance, the boy seems unworthy of her. I guess her family has some money.
Xiaoyan curled her lips slightly. "Then, could you please ask this male classmate to give your girlfriend some legal education? If you're just talking nonsense about people paying for false confessions and what legal responsibilities they'll have to bear, if you don't even have this level of legal awareness, then these four years of study have been wasted."
It’s great that Xiaoyan and Huang Tianyi take turns to be my mouthpiece, so I can continue to maintain my sweet little princess persona.
I blinked at the girl and gave her a thumbs up: "Classmate, you are really going to be punished for spreading rumors and slander in court.
What matters in court is evidence. If you think there's something wrong with my case, please report it to the procuratorate.
But if you lie here~~ "I paused intentionally, you will be held legally responsible."
The girl's face suddenly turned ugly. She tugged at the boy's arm and asked in a low voice, "Is it that serious?"
The boy looked arrogant and said, "Generally speaking, serious defamation crimes can be sentenced to less than three years. But Xiaolan, you are my woman. Have you forgotten what my father does? How could you possibly be scared by someone?"
Chen Bin whispered beside me, "Yuan Lufeng's father is the majority shareholder of the largest law firm in T City. He's said to be very powerful, having taken on many cases for underworld bosses and is a very skilled criminal defense lawyer."
The police are troubled by him. My brother is in the criminal investigation team, and I once heard him say that there were times when they thought they had a solid case, but Lawyer Yuan would still find loopholes.
Xiao Yan suddenly asked from the side: "Is his father's name Yuan Youan?"
"Yes, yes, even you have heard of him. He is quite famous."
Chen Bin muttered to himself, "Come to think of it, Yuan Youan has never met Lawyer He in court. I wonder who would be more formidable if they met."
The boy to his right said, "Is there even a question? It must be Lawyer He. However, Lawyer He mainly teaches students now and rarely takes on cases. I heard that Lawyer He's law firm is very difficult to get into. Alas, there's no hope for me."
I smiled slightly. "Isn't Lawyer Yuan also very capable? Why don't you consider trying his law firm?"
