Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

In the afternoon, the trial continued.

After lunch, all the people in the court hurried into the arena without taking a break.

"Hey, he is..."

But the moment he walked into the court, Zhang Wei caught a strange gaze.

I saw a leisurely figure sitting in the corner of the hearing booth.

This person is none other than Hua Chaofan.

For this person, Zhang Wei is quite careful.

Compared with him as the person who threatened Zhang Xinwu's family, the origin of the other party is also very mysterious.

"Ms. Gao, you go first, I have something to talk to an acquaintance in the hearing booth!"

After sending Gao Xiaoping to his seat, Zhang Wei walked to the corner.

Hua Chaofan came alone today, and Hua Chaoli, a tall and bald man, was not with him.

When he saw Zhang Wei approaching, he smiled.

However, there was no trace of friendliness in this smile.

"Mr. Hua, why did you come to pay attention to such a small trial?" Zhang Wei's first sentence contained a hint of temptation.

"Lawyer Zhang, I heard people say that you are the most powerful lawyer in the East, and I happened to hear people say that there is a trial for you today, so I came to take a look."

Hua Chaofan didn't hide it, but looked at the person in front of him with scrutiny.

"Who did you hear that from?"

Zhang Wei suddenly laughed and asked a very speechless question.

Hua Chaofan originally looked calm, but when he heard this question, he was really taken aback.

Good guy, you don't understand human language, do you?

When I say that, it's just a compliment, and by the way, I'm being polite, you're still asking the bottom line, right?

But the embarrassment was only for a moment, Hua Chaofan immediately changed the subject: "Lawyer Zhang, I think that instead of caring about me, you should care about yourself!"

"You shouldn't have to fight this case. Although I'm not a professional, I also know that your client has obviously committed a crime, so I want to see how the most powerful lawyer in the East will handle this case!"

"Mr. Hua, I'm just a lawyer. It's my job to help clients defend. As for the most powerful lawyer in the East, I can't bear the title!"

Zhang Wei waved his hand, then glanced at Hua Chaofan again.

After repeatedly confirming that there was no flaw in the other party, he didn't bother to talk to the other party.

With a prevarication, Zhang Wei turned around and left, returning to his defense seat.

On the contrary, Hua Chaofan kept staring at Zhang Wei, but muttered in his heart: "Hmph, this case will let me see whether you have the real material, or is it pure luck!"

"However, I have also dealt with many powerful litigators abroad. This is the first time I have seen a criminal defense lawyer who is as young as him and not yet frightened?"

Obviously, Zhang Wei's age made Hua Chaofan suspicious.

He also knows that lawyers rely on experience and qualifications, Zhang Wei's age represents the two most important things for lawyers, and he actually doesn't have them.

But Lin Xiangtian boasted to him, saying that Zhang Wei is very strong, which is very strange.

The reason why Hua Chaofan came to the auditorium to watch the game was to test Zhang Wei's quality as a lawyer.

Now, he is already looking forward to the next trial.

boom!

The door of the court was suddenly pushed open, and Guo Wufeng and others, who were the representatives of the prosecution, rushed in.

This time, Guo Wufeng was accompanied by another acquaintance of Zhang Wei.

Zhao Chunming!

Obviously, since Xiao Baihe was defeated last time, Zhao Chunming also realized one thing.

That is, whether Zhang Wei wins the lawsuit has nothing to do with his presence or absence.

Anyway, if his side is going to lose, whether he stares or not will not affect the result.

So, superstition is a bad thing.

But today's trial was completely different.

Zhao Chunming came here just to see Zhang Wei defeated.

"Old Guo, it's up to you this time!"

As he said, he patted Guo Wufeng's shoulder heavily, his eyes full of trust.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Guo Wufeng took the order immediately, with a solemn and serious expression on his face.

The two of them at this moment are like old comrades-in-arms for many years, Zhao Chunming is about to bid farewell to Guo Wufeng who went to the battlefield.

This atmosphere moved the newcomers at the local prosecutor's headquarters around Zhao Chunming.

"Good guy, Lao Guo and Lao Zhao are trying to kill me, right?"

On the contrary, Zhang Wei felt a little speechless when he saw this scene and saw the two elders hooking their shoulders.

Zhao Chunming noticed Zhang Wei's gaze, and immediately gave him a smirk.

There were three points of contempt, three points of sarcasm, three points of arrogance, and one point of sympathy in this smile.

Zhao Chunming seemed to be saying: You are doomed to lose this time, I, Zhao Chunming, said it!

Zhao Chunming sat down with the people from the local prosecutor's headquarters, and Guo Wufeng took his follower Xiao Chen to the prosecutor's seat.

In this way, there are two groups of people who are clearly hostile at the hearing booth.

One side is a newcomer to the criminal department of Jincheng Law Firm who supports Zhang Wei, and the other side is a newcomer to the local prosecutor's headquarters who supports Guo Wufeng.

The two sides were divided into two sides at the hearing booth, showing a faint confrontation.

There was no communication between the prosecution and the defense, each of them was talking in low voices, waiting for the time to pass.

As time slowly passed, the afternoon court session arrived.

"stand up!"

Judge Liu walked into the scene under the announcement of the court guard.

He glanced around the courtroom, confirming that both the prosecution and the defense and the jury were present, and no one was absent.

When he scanned the hearing booth and saw the two groups of people who were faintly confronting each other, and Zhao Chunming sitting in the middle, he suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

"My God, this is just a small case. Why are so many people here? Why is Old Zhao from the local prosecutor's headquarters here too!"

Judge Liu took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

For some reason, his hands trembled a little.

"Cough cough... Well, since no one is absent, this court announces that the public prosecution case against defendant Gao Xiaoping for illegally practicing medicine by the local prosecutor's office is officially open now!"

Judge Liu looked at the prosecution bench after knocking the gavel.

In public prosecution cases, the first to speak must be the prosecution.

Guo Wufeng straightened his collar and walked up to the court with a smile on his face.

"Ahem, I'm Guo Wufeng from the Prosecutor's Headquarters. Today, on behalf of the prosecution and the citizens of Dongfang Capital, I'm prosecuting the woman sitting on the defense bench!"

As he said, he raised his hand and pointed at Gao Xiaoping, and said in a serious tone: "Her name is Gao Xiaoping, maybe you all have some knowledge of this case, she calls herself a midwife, that is, the midwife and midwife you may have heard of, it is old-fashioned A profession that should have been eliminated long ago."

"But what I want to say is that Gao Xiaoping is not the well-meaning person who provides selfless medical help to the people as you imagined. On the contrary, she makes a living by this and collects a large sum of money from expectant families to achieve illegal profit. Purpose!"

"be opposed to!"

Just as Guo Wufeng was speaking, he was interrupted by an objection.

Everyone looked at the defense seats, because the speaker was not Zhang Wei, but Gao Xiaoping who was sitting next to him!

Zhang Wei was also stunned. Has his client learned to answer quickly?

The problem is, he had no intention of objecting, so he immediately turned to look at his client.

"Madam Gao, what are you doing?"

"He's slandering me, didn't you say so?" Gao Xiaoping pointed at Guo Wufeng and asked Master Zhang Weixing to blame him.

Zhang Wei was speechless for a while, because Guo Wufeng's speech was correct.

Although he is not very happy, but everyone knows that you are practicing medicine illegally?

Since you don't have a formal license, according to the laws of Dongfangdu, isn't the profit you obtained with the help of a false license illegal?

Although Guo Wufeng's words sound aggressive, but he is not wrong, how can he object to this?

"Defense, may I ask why your client is speaking?"

With a sullen face, Judge Liu also came to question him.

"Ahem, Your Excellency, our party believes that the prosecutor's accusation is slightly biased, so I interrupted. But I have already communicated with her, and she also apologized for her impulsiveness. I hope the court can understand! "

Judge Liu glanced at Gao Xiaoping, and saw that the latter was still sullen and full of anger.

This is called apologetic?

Are you kidding me?

This is clearly a very unconvinced expression, right?

"Well, since the defendant already knows that he was wrong, then let's not make an example, let's not make an example!"

Judge Liu didn't bother with this too much, but wanted both the prosecution and the defense to signal, and then make the big problem smaller and deal with it.

Zhang Wei also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Judge Liu was a young judge with no qualifications, so he was easy to deal with.

If this is replaced by old qualifications like Lao Chen and Lao Li, or a judge like Ni Qiuping who is not used to you, it will not be so easy to deal with it.

Guo Wufeng watched all this with cold eyes.

Seeing the judge nodding to himself, of course he continued to state.

"Gao Xiaoping violated the medical law of Dongfangdu, which caused the death of many newborns. If these newborns and their mothers were given birth in Dongfangdu's Children's Hospital, there is a great chance of them surviving..."

In the court, Guo Wufeng fired all his firepower and talked eloquently.

"It's not true!"

At the defense table, Gao Xiaoping almost couldn't bear it anymore.

She glared at Guo Wufeng, her face full of resentment.

"Ms. Gao, I'm not talking about you, why are you so angry, can you calm down?"

"How do you want me to be calm, these people are slandering me? And those people in the jury box look at me like they are looking at a murderer!"

Gao Xiaoping pointed to Guo Wufeng, and then to the jury box.

"I understand your feelings, but my goal is to keep you from going to jail, and your current performance is making this goal far away from you!"

Zhang Wei immediately gave a warning and put his hand on Gao Xiaoping's shoulder.

He was afraid that the other party couldn't bear it again, if he stood up and yelled at Lao Guo, the whole court would be messed up.

Anyway, once Gao Xiaoping did this, what would the jury think of her?

Instead of a benevolent midwife, they saw an impulsive murderer.

"Remember, if you don't want to go to jail, just keep calm, otherwise the gods won't be able to help you!"

Zhang Wei could only temporarily suppress Gao Xiaoping to calm her down.

It's a pity that Gao Xiaoping's complexion is still very bad, and her composure is completely out of place.

Zhang Wei had no choice but to serve the client carefully, and at the same time transferred Realization to the court again.

"...I'm here to popularize two data, that is, the maternal mortality rate and the neonatal mortality rate!"

"Did you know, gentlemen of the jury, that the maternal mortality rate around the world is almost unacceptably high. Every day around the world, approximately 1,000 women die from complications related to pregnancy or childbirth. Ten years ago, a Throughout the year, 358,000 women died during and after pregnancy and childbirth. Almost all of these deaths occurred in areas with poor medical conditions, and most symptoms could have been detected and prevented in time. "

"With the development of modern technology and the improvement of medical conditions, the maternal mortality rate around the world has dropped by 34% compared with ten years ago, and the neonatal mortality rate has also decreased from the original high risk rate of more than 30%. It’s now at 6.1 percent.”

"In the cases of maternal and neonatal death, we were able to identify three high-risk complications, which were postpartum haemorrhage, a high-risk infection usually after delivery, and pregnancy-induced hypertension, preeclampsia and eclampsia."

After giving an example, Guo Wufeng looked at the defense chair again, "Now, I'm getting back to the point!"

He continued to point at Gao Xiaoping, with a more serious tone: "We already know that the defendant did not receive medical training and midwifery knowledge from Dongfangdu, and she did not even have a formal medical license, so how can we guarantee that she is helping pregnant women?" When the mother gave birth, did the compliant medical procedures be implemented?"

"Just now I mentioned three high-risk complications, and I can also tell you that Ms. Gao Xiaoping has no means of prevention and treatment for the above-mentioned risk problems. Once the mother suffers from hemorrhage and infection, the result will be..."

Guo Wufeng suddenly stopped speaking, and walked to the jury seat.

After confirming that all 12 jurors were looking at him, he said in a more serious tone: "Death!"

die!

That is death, the mother will die!

This word, echoing in the ears of the jury, also made everyone in the court extremely serious.

The atmosphere in the entire courtroom began to become depressed.

Just because of these two words, the pressure is too great.

At the defense table, Zhang Wei obviously felt that the pressure on his hands increased greatly, and Gao Xiaoping wanted to get up.

"Ms. Gao, as I said, please calm down, or if you stand up and speak now, the jury will directly convict you!"

"Once the jury preconceives that you are guilty, then we will be at a loss, do you understand?"

Zhang Wei's words made Gao Xiaoping regain her composure.

"Are you just watching them slander me in every possible way? You are the most powerful lawyer in the East, and you are the most powerful person!"

"I never said that I am the most powerful one..."

Zhang Wei touched his nose, a little speechless.

I don't know why, but recently people always say that I am the most powerful lawyer in the East.

Is he?

Obviously not!

Don't talk nonsense, be careful, I will sue you for defamation!

Didn't it just cause Cheng Lisha to jump off the building indirectly? Why did she become the most powerful? What's the name "murder lawyer"?

In Zhang Wei's view, these are not good reputations.

But also because of Zhang Wei's warning, Gao Xiaoping finally calmed down, and he was also relieved.

On the other side, Guo Wufeng saw that his goal had been achieved, and after the jury had fully understood the seriousness of the matter, he began to summon witnesses.

"Your Excellency, the prosecution requests that the first witness be summoned, the retired Prosecutor Yi from Beichong Island to testify in court!"

Following Guo Wufeng's summons, a well-dressed old man walked up to the court.

The appearance of the old man did not surprise everyone at the scene, especially Zhang Wei.

Because he knew that the prosecution had to prove that the prosecutor had informed Gao Xiaoping in advance, and that Gao Xiaoping knew the law and broke the law, and the crime was aggravated.

After the witness appeared in court, Lao Guo asked questions directly.

"Hello, Prosecutor Yi, how long have you been a prosecutor in the town of Beichong Island?"

After hearing this, the old man smiled and said, "For almost 30 years, people in the town and the village have called me Lao Yi, and I am very familiar with them!"

Hearing the old man's energetic answer, Guo Wufeng looked serious.

"Prosecutor Yi, as the old prosecutor on Beichong Island, he is also our second senior. May I ask how long you have been in contact with the defendant?"

"Of course, since Gao Xiaoping came to Beichong Island, I also took over as the District Attorney of Beichong Island for a few years. I lived in the same town as her and have been neighbors for more than 20 years. Can you not be familiar with her? "

"Do you know the occupation of the defendant?"

"Of course I know that she is responsible for the midwifery work of some families in the village. It's also because of the inconvenient transportation on the island at that time, and there was no decent hospital in the town. When I first came, there was only one small clinic in the whole town. There are two old doctors who are about to retire, and it’s okay to see a small cold on weekdays, but they can’t handle such things as delivering babies.”

"So the delivery work in ten miles and eight towns is all done by the defendant?"

"Yes, the conditions were poor at that time, and there was only one midwife, the defendant, in that area. Who else could come if she wasn't here?"

Guo Wufeng nodded, and then asked: "Then, after Beichong Island was merged into Dongfangdu, did you inform the defendant that he must obtain a medical license recognized by Dongfangdu before he can continue to work as a midwife?"

"As I said, in the first year when the regulations were issued, I went to her house to explain the situation in person, but..."

The old man said, scratching his head in embarrassment, "But even if our Beichong Island develops later, the transportation on the island is really inconvenient. The hospital in the town is on the other side of the island, but many families live on the other side of the island. It takes a lot of work to come and go. Many people still invite her to deliver the baby for convenience."

"That is to say, the defendant still worked as a midwife even though he knew that he did not have a legal practice certificate?"

"yes!"

The old man nodded, with a slight embarrassment on his face.

After all, what the defendant did was actually related to his behavior of turning a blind eye.

If it weren't for his acquiescence, Gao Xiaoping might have gone to Dongfangdu to participate in the qualification certificate examination long ago.

Seeing that everyone had heard the old man's answer, Guo Wufeng immediately concluded: "That is to say, the defendant, knowing that his behavior may cause harm to the mother and newborn, still chose to pursue profit for the benefit of the mother and child. safety!"

"She is really capable of doing anything for money. With such a person, can we safely hand over the child to her?"

In the end, he even pointed at Gao Xiaoping, word by word, as if he was condemning the other party.

"You fart!"

As soon as Guo Wufeng's words fell, Zhang Wei felt that his hand could not be suppressed suddenly, and a roar sounded in his ears.

It's a pity that it wasn't Tiger King who yelled this voice, but his client!
