Chapter 42: You Even Want the Prosecution to Provide Compensation? 666
Seeing Li Xuezhen's sincere attitude, Su Bai nodded with satisfaction.
Very good!
The attitude was very sincere!
This was in fact the reality.
To hell with what others consider the fairest judgment of the law.
On what basis should it depend on what others consider?
Only if one's own side wins can it be regarded as the most correct judicial judgment.
If one cannot win and loses the case, on what basis can one speak of correctness?
If you have already lost the case and still speak to me about these things, is that not nonsense?
Presiding judge: are you questioning my judgment?
As for the result of the hearing, whoever wins is correct, and if there truly is a problem one can directly report it to the corresponding judicial authority and that will be sufficient.
If there is no problem, questioning it is useless.
Before long.
Relevant staff members entered the waiting room.
They notified the appellant and the appellee that the lawyers for both parties should enter the courtroom.
The appellee's side, Lu Wei and another male lawyer, took their seats.
The appellant's side, that is Qi Feng's side, Su Bai brought Li Xuezhen to the appellant's seating area.
After both parties' lawyers and the defendant Qi Feng had all entered.
The clerk began to read out the courtroom discipline.
"One: …"
"Two: …"
"Three: …"
After finishing the reading, the clerk continued, "All rise, please welcome the presiding judge and the adjudicators into the courtroom!"
Rustling sounds.
Everyone present in the courtroom stood up.
Lin Youping and two other adjudicators entered the judicial bench.
Lin Youping, dressed in a judge's robe, stood at the seat of the presiding judge.
He spoke into the microphone at the presiding judge's seat.
"Please be seated."
Rustling sounds.
All members of the courtroom sat down.
The clerk reported, "Report to the presiding judge, all parties in this case have appeared in court, the court's preparatory work is complete, and the hearing may begin."
'Bang bang.'
Lin Youping struck the gavel.
"The hearing now begins!"
Lin Youping lowered his head and glanced at the materials on the presiding judge's bench. "Please the appellant's side state the identities of the personnel appearing in court."
At the same time.
Because Qi Feng's case had attracted great attention and controversy on the internet and was being conducted in the form of a live broadcast hearing, many lawyers and relevant persons interested in the case were following the hearing through the live broadcast.
At this moment, Luo Daxiang was conducting a live broadcast of the hearing.
In the hearing footage.
Presiding Judge Lin Youping was verifying the identities and information of those appearing in court.
Luo Daxiang gave a general overview of the current situation of the hearing.
"This time the case being commented upon is Qi Feng's second instance case. I believe everyone already knows the result of the first instance. Qi Feng was sentenced to death. After the case concluded at that time, I also provided an explanation."
"Everyone can learn about the process of the first instance in detail from my videos, so I will not say more about that."
"Let us return to the hearing."
"The hearing has just begun. I will first explain the structure of this hearing."
"In this case, Qi Feng, being dissatisfied with the first instance judgment, filed an appeal to the Beidu High Court against the prosecution."
"At present, the presiding judge is verifying the information of the appellant and the appellee."
"The presiding judge for this hearing is Judge Lin Youping, currently the Vice President of the Beidu High People's Court, a highly renowned senior judge who has presided over many famous judgments and possesses unique insights regarding certain laws."
"Seated on the left and right are the members of the collegial panel, two adjudicators."
"These two adjudicators are also highly experienced judicial personnel of the Beidu High Court. The adjudicator on the left is Adjudicator Fang Mei, and the one on the right is Adjudicator Zhu Xiong."
"The appellee is the procuratorial organ, and the lawyer is Lawyer Lu Wei, who possesses very extensive experience in criminal matters. The appellant is Qi Feng, who, being dissatisfied with the first instance judgment, filed the appeal in the second instance."
After Luo Daxiang finished speaking.
A series of questions appeared in the comment section.
'Professor Luo, what do you think about this case? Who do you think will win?'
'+1, I also want to know who will win. I hope even more that Qi Feng can win, but from the current situation it seems difficult.'
'In public prosecution cases, the evidence is generally already fixed. The prosecution has already determined the facts of Qi Feng's killing. Wanting to win is very difficult. One can only say it is very difficult!'
'Even if it is very difficult, there is still hope, is there not? In any case, I hope Qi Feng can win. At present it depends on what kind of lawyer he has found.'
'Professor Luo, who do you think will win?'
Facing the questions in the comment section, Luo Daxiang shook his head.
"A specific determination still depends on the process of the hearing. The proportion of victories for legitimate defense in judicial determinations in our country cannot be said to be large. It can only be said to be very small."
"I hope that this hearing case, which has attracted widespread public attention, can change this situation. Alright, I will not say more about matters outside the courtroom. We have already entered the next stage. Please continue watching. I believe this will be a very exciting courtroom debate."
Regarding Su Bai, Luo Daxiang still held a trace of hope.
However, this case, to be honest, was very difficult.
One could only place hope in expectation.
At the hearing site.
After the information of the appellant and the appellee had been verified, Lin Youping struck the gavel and began to read the cause of action.
"In this case, the appellant Qi Feng, being dissatisfied with the judgment of the first instance, filed an appeal in the second instance. Appellant's side, is this the cause of your appeal?"
Su Bai sat at the appellant's seat, organized the materials, and nodded. "Yes, Presiding Judge, this is the cause of our appeal."
Lin Youping struck the gavel.
"With regard to the appellant's cause of appeal, this court has conducted verification and confirms it to be accurate. Next, please the appellant state the requests of the appeal and the supporting grounds."
Su Bai briefly organized the materials in his hand and then began to state.
"Our requests in this hearing are very simple. We hope that the court can, in accordance with legal provisions, impose a reasonable judgment upon our client."
"The following are our litigation requests."
"First: our client, at the time in the shopping mall, did not commit intentional homicide, but rather engaged in an act of legitimate defense. Under the circumstances in which two individuals attacked and beat our client, our client was merely a victim carrying out a reasonable act of legitimate defense. According to Article 20 of the Criminal Law, regarding the interpretation of legitimate defense, taking action to stop a person who is carrying out an unlawful infringement and thereby causing harm to the person committing the unlawful infringement constitutes legitimate defense and does not bear criminal responsibility. We request that the first instance judgment be revoked and that a judgment of not guilty be rendered."
"Second: with regard to the accusation brought against our side by the prosecution in the first instance, which caused our side to suffer unnecessary losses, according to the State Compensation Law, we request that the prosecution compensate our client in accordance with the provisions of the State Compensation Law in the amount of fifty five thousand eight hundred sixty four yuan and seventy five fen."
"Third: we request that the prosecution issue a public written clarification regarding the damage suffered by our client's reputation, in order to avoid subsequent harm to our client's reputation."
"Fourth: our client is currently a young student, and this incident has caused him serious harm. We request that certain compensatory measures be provided to our client."
After Su Bai finished stating the litigation requests.
Those watching the live broadcast of the hearing all felt that it was somewhat outrageous.
Requesting a judgment of not guilty could still be understood.
You even want the prosecution to provide compensation?!
And it was raised directly in court. One could only say: 666. [666 is Chinese internet slang used to praise something as impressive or skillful; derived from gaming culture, where repeating '6' sounds like 'liu,' meaning smooth or awesome.]
