Chapter 279 Trial ([-])
Ding Xie continued.
"Imagine if a person commits a crime, instead of defending himself, he finds someone he doesn't know to defend himself. How strange it is!"
His strange remarks aroused everyone's discussion.
"Ding Xie said it the wrong way. It is the right choice for most people to seek a lawyer for defense."
"Yeah, Ding Xie is telling the truth, it seems that his logical thinking is different from ordinary people's!"
"Didn't you see that even Mr. Judge was dumbfounded by what he said?"
"No wonder such a person came to the trial. It's really funny."
"Today's trial seems to be right."
……
"I admit that the professional quality of lawyers is high, and their debate level is very high, but now it is not a debate competition, but a trial representing social justice."
Ding Xie heard the words and said.
"It's not simply a question of who has the money to hire a lawyer, and whose lawyer has a higher level of debate. If so, where is the social justice?"
His words made the chief prosecutor dumbfounded.
The judge said.
"I didn't ask you to express your opinion, I just asked you if you understand. You just need to simply tell me whether you understand or not."
Seeing that Ding Xie still wanted to defend himself, the judge interrupted.
"Do you understand what I just told you?"
Ding Xie said.
"I see."
The judge nodded his head.
"Since you understand what I'm telling you and choose to defend yourself, I am announcing my withdrawal from the court and the defendant will be returned to custody to await further trial."
The judge's words officially confirmed that Ding Xie's case is about to start a long trial process.
As soon as the words fell, the whole audience stood up and respectfully sent the judge off.
Ding Xie waved to everyone and left with a smile.
The court adjourned the next day, which happened to coincide with Fang Fang's birthday.
***
The whole Fang family celebrates Fang Fang's birthday.
Luo Huiling said.
"Fang Fang, happy birthday!"
Fang Fang responded.
"Sister Ling, thank you!"
Immediately afterwards, Fang Zhanbo, Fang Ting, Fang Min and others also celebrated Fang Fang's birthday.
Everyone talked about Ding Xie's argument for himself.
"Ding Xie is an old fool, this time he is looking for his own death!"
"Yes, Ding Yixie knows a lot of lawyer friends. If Ding Xie does what they say, our lawsuit may not be easy!"
"Ding crab is called suicide!"
Seeing Fang Fang's worried face, Luo Huiling asked with a concerned look on her face.
"Fang Fang, I think you seem unhappy. Is there something on your mind?"
Fang Fang paused for a moment and then said.
"I'm a little afraid of going to court tomorrow to face those perverts from the Ding family."
"Fang Fang's personality is timid and fearful. We had sit-in demonstrations before, but no matter what we said, she didn't dare to participate."
Luo Huiling sighed secretly.
"It is indeed very embarrassing for her to face the Ding family alone now."
Luo Huiling knew that the Fang family's children were important witnesses in this case, and everyone had to face cross-examination by Ding Xie.
she encouraged.
"Fang Fang, you don't need to worry too much about Ding Xie. I know him. He is a lunatic."
Everyone also persuaded.
"Ding Xie doesn't understand the law, and only asks some layman's questions, so it's easy to get fooled."
"Yes, the Ding family can only bluff, don't be intimidated by them!"
"Yes, we will support you!"
After listening to everyone's encouragement, Fang Fang calmed down a little.
Everyone continued to encourage.
"Fang Fang, come on, you can definitely do it!"
"Sister, you have been wanting to avenge your father for so many years. Now the opportunity is right in front of you. You must hold on!"
"Yes, eldest sister, you are the first to appear in court, I believe you will give us a good start!"
The next morning, Fang Fang sat on the witness stand.
Sixie of the Ding family sat diagonally opposite.
They also knew that Fang Fang was timid by nature, so they all stared at Fang Fang.
Fang Fang was so stared at that her whole body became cold and goosebumps stood up.
She took a deep breath and remained calm.
The chief prosecutor was the first to attend. He walked up to Fang Fang and asked.
"Miss Fang Fang, do you remember the relationship between your father and the defendant?"
Fang Fang said shyly.
"I still remember a little bit, and I have the impression that they were friends, but the impression is not very deep."
The chief prosecutor continued to ask.
"What do you think your father's impression of the defendant is?"
Fang Fang paused for a moment and then whispered.
"I am not very sure."
Ding Xie took a notebook to record.
At this moment, with an anxious expression on his face, he raised his hand to signal.
"Your Honor, I have something to say."
The judge said.
"Defence, please speak."
Ding Xie said.
"Fang Fang's voice is too low. I can't hear it clearly, and I can't record it. Please ask her to amplify her voice."
The judge said.
"Witness, when you answer the question, try to speak clearly, understand?"
Fang Fang said.
"I understand."
Ding Xie said.
"Thank you, Mr. Judge."
"Everyone, have you noticed that the witness was very terrified just now. The reason why she is so terrified is because someone put pressure on her."
The chief prosecutor pointed at the four crabs of Ding's family.
"After the defendant was arrested, the prosecution's entire family was harassed by the defendant's family who obstructed the administration of justice, and was threatened not to let them go. All of this was at the defendant's instruction."
The judge interrupted him and said.
"The chief prosecutor and the defendant and their assisting lawyers, please come forward, I and I want to say a few words to you."
The judge waited for them to approach, then continued.
"Prosecutor, I hope that the case will proceed in a relatively fair environment, so please don't place a fake charge on the defendant just because the defendant doesn't understand the law, do you understand?"
The prosecutor nodded.
"Your Honor, I understand."
The judge said to the assisting lawyer.
"As the defendant's assistant, you should fulfill your professional duties and remind the defendant more clearly and in detail of the rights he should exercise."
Ding Xie said with a shocked expression on his face.
"Wow, what else do you have that you didn't tell me?"
Assist the lawyer.
"Okay, I'll pay attention to it later."
"Defendant, you should know that you have the right to object."
The judge said to Ding Xie.
"When you hear assumptions that are not good for you, you can push back."
Ding Xie nodded.
"Thank you, sir, for reminding me again."
The judge said.
"My words are finished, you can return to your respective positions."
Ding Xie said with an expression of appreciation on his face.
"You are an honest official."
The prosecutor did not ask Fang Fang any more questions.
Next, ask about the dame crab.
Ding Xie walked up to Fang Fang and asked with a smile.
"Fang Fang, I'm your Uncle Crab, do you remember me?"
Fang Fang nodded in response.
"I remember."
Ding Xie said.
"Do you remember laughing whenever you saw me when you were a kid?"
After Fang Fang hesitated for a long time, she never came back.
Ding Xie said anxiously.
"Fang Fang, this is a court, you must answer loudly when I ask you."
The judge also echoed.
"Witness, you must answer the defendant's questions."
Fang Fang said.
"I remembered."
Ding Xie said.
"She remembers smiling as soon as she saw me. Smiling is a sign of happiness. She was very happy to see me."
The judge couldn't listen anymore and interrupted him.
"You keep asking questions."
