Since the entire court trial was broadcast live, everyone seemed quite serious.
As the party involved, Lin Feng sat in the plaintiff's seat, while in the defendant's seat sat the female reporter from Tianhai University's "Campus Storm" column and the editor of the "Tianhai Hot News" column who personally fabricated this report.
Obviously, both of them were key figures directly involved in spreading rumors about Lin Feng.
Next to the plaintiff's seat sat a young woman in a suit.
This person looks young, but he deliberately tries to show a very capable image on his face from time to time.
She is also Lin Feng's attorney this time.
In fact, Lin Feng did not want to hire a lawyer at the beginning. After all, he had already learned all the legal knowledge of China, and it was a piece of cake for him to face this kind of case.
However, according to the laws of China, a party concerned is not allowed to concurrently serve as a lawyer, and he does not have a lawyer's qualification certificate.
So Lin Feng had to try to find a lawyer to help himself.
Finally, at Qin Feng's request, the court appointed a lawyer to serve as Lin Feng's attorney.
But when he saw that the person who came to help him was actually a young woman, Lin Feng sneered.
After all, this is most likely the result of the other party's secret manipulation. It is easy to put a young lawyer in a passive position if he is asked to fight this lawsuit.
What's even more exaggerated is that this was the first time he met this lawyer. After seeing that the other party seemed to be staring at the stack of information in his hand, Lin Feng became more certain that he had been tricked.
How is it possible that an attorney has no contact with the client before the trial?
In addition, the other party only started to review the relevant information of his case when the trial was about to begin, so Lin Feng no longer had any hope for her.
At this time, the other party finally finished reading all the relevant information about Lin Feng, and then walked to Lin Feng's side.
"My name is Xue Jia, and I'm the attorney representing you in these two cases!"
"Lawyer Xue, you should be clear about my case, right?"
Lin Feng asked casually.
"It is clear that two cases concerning you will be heard today. The first case is about you accusing two media columns of spreading rumors, and the second case is about you beating someone in the street and causing injury."
Xue Jia replied calmly.
"What do you think of these two cases?"
“You have a 100 percent chance of winning the first case, but your chance of winning the second case is only 50 percent at best.
Because you sent two people to the hospital, and as far as I know, they did not pose any physical threat to you at the beginning, so you may be convicted of excessive self-defense for doing so."
"Haha, so everyone is a loser today?"
Hearing this, Lin Feng snorted coldly.
Of course he knew that he could win the first case outright, otherwise the two parties involved would not have used all their connections to try to negotiate peace with him.
The penalty for the second incident is more flexible.
I did hit him a little harder at the beginning, but when the other party pulled out a knife, all my actions were no longer illegal.
In this way, the penalty for this injury incident can be easily manipulated.
"If we look at the current situation, the result is indeed likely to be a lose-lose situation, but we can also choose another outcome, which is a win-win situation."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
After hearing Xue Jia’s proposal, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes instantly.
"Do you know why the rumor-mongering case was brought up first for trial? The purpose is to hope that you can know when to advance and retreat in this case.
If you can let bygones be bygones and eventually get a lighter sentence from the court, then we will have a big advantage when the second case is tried.”
Xue Jia's words have hinted very clearly, that is, if you don't insist on the first case, the court will be able to let you go in the second case.
In this way, Lin Feng can live in complete peace.
But at the same time, the two rumormongers and the two bastards sitting opposite will also escape legal punishment.
So Lin Feng said without even thinking: "No need, I will win both cases today."
Seeing that Lin Feng still didn't know what was good for him after saying so much, Xue Jia's face suddenly became serious.
"You are still a college student with a bright future ahead of you. Don't ruin your future just because of a momentary impulse. You should know that if you have a criminal record in China, it will be extremely difficult for you to find a job in the future."
Xue Jia's words were not alarmist. Once Lin Feng was found guilty of assault, he would not only be criminally detained, but would also have a lifelong criminal record.
Once he has a criminal record, Lin Feng's future will be extremely difficult, and he may even be expelled from school.
"Lawyer Xue, do you know why they asked you to fight this case?"
"Because you didn't want to go out and find a lawyer yourself, I was assigned here."
"Wrong. They sent you here because you are stupid enough. They know that a fledgling like you will be extremely nervous when facing such a public case. So you will not think about how to win the case at all. Instead, you will think about persuading your client to give up resistance and surrender."
Lin Feng mocked the other party without any hesitation.
Regardless of whether what the other person said was true or not, even if it was true, I would never compromise.
After Lin Feng revealed his scar, Xue Jia's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Lin Feng was right, she was a fledgling herself, and although she had always wanted to give others an impression of being very capable, today was actually her first case since she started working.
This first case was broadcast live throughout, and the case itself attracted a lot of attention, so one can imagine the pressure she was under.
What’s even more exaggerated is that she only received the notice from the judicial authorities the day before the court hearing, and she only got all the materials about the case this morning.
So in this situation, Xue Jia had no confidence at all about this second case, which led her to run to Lin Feng before the trial, trying to force him to compromise by scaring him.
But she didn't expect that Lin Feng had completely seen through her thoughts.
"I'm doing this for your own good. Losing the lawsuit won't have any impact on me."
