Luo Hansheng was genuinely upset this time.
He had pinned all his hopes on Zhang Wei.
And this is how Zhang Wei defends him?
What kind of defense skill is this?
He might as well defend himself!
Even if he found a college student to defend him, it wouldn't be this bad!
With just a few words, he's pushing him into a corner!
Luo Hansheng was thoroughly crushed.
What kind of lawyer handles a case like this?
He's doomed!
Is that lawyer's qualification certificate even real?
Is this how it goes?
Is a hundred and fifty thousand worth just three sentences?
Zhao Quanzhong quickly piped up: "Judge! Our defense lawyer is a mole sent by the other side!! Our defense lawyer took money and did nothing, I think his lawyer qualification is fake! Therefore, I request a recess, and we need to find a new lawyer! Find a new lawyer!! This case can't end like this! Zhang Wei is talking nonsense!"
Guo Liangping: "Yeah, yeah, get a new lawyer! Zhang Wei, you still have to refund the lawyer fee, this case you're fighting is a JB, is there anyone who defends like you? Idiot, isn't defending like this basically sending us in?"
Hao Jian: "No, Zhang Wei, is this how you practice law? How can you call yourself a lawyer? You say we're dissatisfied with the first instance verdict? How could we be dissatisfied, we're fully accepting responsibility, fully compensating, if we have money we'll pay, if we have strength we'll help, we've truly realized our mistakes! I just wanted to try and get a second trial, because we're hoping for leniency, how could we be dissatisfied?"
At this point, Zhang Wei spoke up.
"Your Honor! I believe the four defendants are insulting my profession! And challenging my expertise!"
"I worked hard for my lawyer qualification certificate, I've handled countless cases, and won quite a few! You're actually questioning me? Defaming me in court! Your Honor, they are slandering me, I demand compensation from them!!"
"Moreover, if you want an appeal for a second trial, isn't it because you're dissatisfied with the first trial verdict? Is there anything wrong with what I said? Didn't you embezzle over thirty million? Am I not allowed to state the facts anymore? Wasn't I fighting to defend you, to change your life sentence to something else?" Zhang Wei couldn't take it anymore either.
The judge directly struck the gavel.
"Quiet!"
"Warning to the defendant's lawyer, the defendant's lawyer can only speak after being permitted by the court."
Luo Hansheng, Zhao Quanzhong, both raised the corners of their mouths in a smile.
Haha, still daring to bark?
Now the judge has warned him, right?
The judge looked coldly at the four defendants.
"Severe warning to the four defendants!"
"The four defendants have seriously challenged the court's order!"
"The court did not allow the four defendants to speak, and you directly challenged the court's order, you're disrespecting the court!"
The judge was speaking.
The faces of the four defendants were pale.
Luo Hansheng, Zhao Quanzhong, were looking at each other and lowered their heads.
Guo Liangping and Hao Jian were both trembling all over.
The judge continued: "The defense lawyer's qualification is fine, the defense lawyer is indeed a qualified lawyer, the four defendants have slandered the defense lawyer on the spot and should bear legal responsibility."
Luo Hansheng: "???"
Zhao Quanzhong: "????"
What, how did they offend Zhang Wei?
Since Zhang Wei is indeed a lawyer, why would he defend them like this in court?
This way, aren't they completely doomed?
The four were somewhat confused.
At this point, Gu Chen heard Zhang Wei talk about handling countless cases.
Gu Chen silently wrote a note to Xue Qingqing.
Anyway, he was just here to watch the show.
Now he didn't need to speak.
Xue Qingqing took the note and glanced at it.
She nearly burst out laughing.
"Do you know Zhang Wei's track record in handling cases?"
"Boss, I don't know."
"I've checked, Zhang Wei has handled 100 cases, handling countless cases is true, do you know how many he's won?"
"Boss, I suppose he could win at least 40...average lawyer's win rate shouldn't be too low, right? And Zhang Wei is supposedly a very skilled lawyer."
"Won 1."
"Ah??"
"But Zhang Wei's 100 cases, in almost every case, made the judge change the verdict."
Gu Chen continued to write a note.
"In one of the cases Zhang Wei handled, it was supposed to be solved with mediation, a payment of 2000 Yuan and it's done, but Zhang Wei fiercely argued and won, successfully landing the defendant in jail for a month."
"In another case, the defendant was supposed to compensate twenty thousand, do you know Zhang Wei dominated the court and made the judge change the verdict?"
Xue Qingqing also wrote a note: "Boss, what was the conclusion then? Compensate fifty thousand?"
Gu Chen: "No, the judge changed the verdict to twenty years imprisonment for the defendant."
Xue Qingqing: "???"
Xue Qingqing: "Hahaha."
Xue Qingqing tried hard not to laugh out loud in court.
Xue Qingqing: "Boss, please stop talking, I'm afraid I can't hold it in."
Gu Chen: "Haha."
The two were watching the show in court, exchanging notes.
...
The prosecutor spoke at this point.
The prosecutor said: "Your Honor, I believe the four defendants have not realized their mistakes, and have slandered their defense lawyer, their crimes are severe, embezzling over thirty million in ten years, the nature is particularly bad."
"Furthermore, the four defendants have records of transferring assets, they have moved their assets to their family members, including wives, children, and parents."
"And they have turned part of their assets into fixed assets...."
"And some of their cash assets, they have hidden the cash, they dare not deposit the cash into the bank."
"These four chose to confess only after the national investigation, and do not display remorseful attitudes, not meeting the conditions for leniency."
"Moreover, the four defendants chose to appeal and hired top-notch lawyers for a high price, showing they are not satisfied with the first instance judgment, indicating they have not recognized their mistakes."
"Therefore, I believe in this case, the four defendants should be punished more severely!"
"My statement is finished."
The prosecutor finished speaking.
The judge struck the gavel on the spot.
"Now I declare a recess! Court resumes in ten minutes!"
The judge thought it only needed ten minutes.
He didn't need the four defendants to say anything, nor did he need these four to defend themselves anymore.
Now... just need to declare the verdict!
After the recess.
The judge looked at the jurors and said: "I think the first trial was too lenient, my suggestion for the second trial is death penalty, both Luo Hansheng and Zhang Xiangwei should face the death penalty."
