"Besides, he has worked in the construction team for so many years, and safety is always his top priority. He has such a good heart, how could he make such a mistake and not take safety and human life seriously?"
"Grandpa and grandma, please don't be anxious. Judges are very particular about evidence. Others say that Shen Jianlin is careless, but that is just subjective thinking and personal speculation. It cannot be used as real evidence. The judge will not accept it. Don't worry."
He Guoxian explained patiently, and when he saw the old couple suddenly breathe a sigh of relief, he continued, "On the contrary, I think what Shen Jianlin said is a very favorable point. If he signed the contract while he was unconscious, he probably wouldn't have to bear the relevant responsibilities."
"Really?!"
Ho Kwok Yin smiled, "Yes, to judge whether the person is guilty or not, we have to see whether he was conscious at the time, that is, he had full civil capacity. If not, it is considered an unintentional mistake, not a deliberate crime. The sentence for a deliberate crime is much heavier than that for an unintentional mistake."
The whole family was stunned after listening to this, and suddenly realized that they knew very little about the law.
It seems that hiring a good lawyer is a wise choice!
"What we need to do now is to find evidence to prove whether Shen Jianlin was drunk and unconscious when he signed the contract. Does Shen Jianlin usually drink? Does he drink alone or with a group of people?"
He Guoxian raised a question.
Lin Xiujuan immediately said, "He occasionally drinks with the construction team members. He doesn't drink much on a normal basis, so his alcohol tolerance is not very good. As for white wine, he can't drink more than two or three glasses from a small cup."
He Guoxian nodded, "Before he contracted the project where the accident happened, did he drink with anyone?"
Lin Xiujuan racked her brains for a long time, and then she said confidently, "Yes. He drank a month before the construction started. He came back drunk at night and told me that he had signed a contract and there was another project. I didn't think much about it at the time, so I asked him what the project was. He said he was building a big house, and then he fell asleep."
"On the day of the project, I remember he bought a lot of delicious food and came back home in the evening. He happily told me that the boss had given him full responsibility for the project and that he could make a lot of money. I even laughed at him for showing off. It was all our fault that we were so simple-minded. At the time, we just thought that being fully responsible was great. Now we know how big the risk is."
Ho Kwok Yin pressed, "Do you know who he was drinking with that day?"
Lin Xiujuan shook her head. "I'm not sure, but he usually drinks with a few of his co-workers in the construction team. I don't know about others."
"Yeah." He Guoxian nodded. "I asked him just now, but he said he was drunk and didn't remember much. The contract was handed to him by his boss later, who said that since he had signed the contract, he should do his job well. To be honest, I doubted his boss. Of course, it was just a suspicion. Everything requires evidence."
"I know who his boss is, but... he has always thought highly of Jianlin. He has promoted Jianlin a lot over the years. If it weren't for him, Jianlin might still be a small foreman now. Jianlin has always respected him. I have also met him. He seems to be easy to get along with. He is not as fierce and strict as other bosses. He is very good to his subordinates and often treats them to meals and drinks. He always provides subsidies and benefits during holidays."
