"It's okay to call back for a retrial, even if the judgment is changed in the second instance." Judge Wang said coldly.
The phone was quiet for a while and said, "Pharaoh, you also know that if my sentence is changed in the second instance, it will have a huge impact on your reputation, and you will still be held accountable."
Judge Wang said: "A wrong sentence is a wrong sentence, and an innocence sentence is a sentence for an innocent defendant. The first-instance verdict is lifeless because I am timid and I dare not make an innocence sentence."
Judge Li fell silent again, and it took a long time to say: "We have known each other for so many years, so I am ashamed."
Judge Wang said with a difficult smile: "If you have experienced so much, you know how important your position is."
Guan Zheng looked at Judge Wang's despair and said, "Thank you, I thank you on behalf of the defendant."
Judge Wang said lightly: "There is nothing to thank, it's a matter of course."
Guan Zheng got up and said: "Then I will go first. If you have anything to do with our police officers, we will try our best to protect your safety and find your child in the shortest time."
The cases handled by Guan Zheng are all homicide cases, and there is no such innocent suspect, which makes Guan Zheng somewhat timid. From the perspective of criminal psychology, Guan Zheng saw that the defendant did not have any mental illness, and the testimony could be trusted, and such a person insisted that he was innocent, that must be a problem in the investigation process.
Guan Zheng knew from the beginning that the chain of evidence in this case was incomplete, and the reliability of the witness’s testimony had yet to be verified, and the defendant’s guilt might not be convicted. But as a police officer, most people who have been in the interrogation room have committed criminal acts. This may be the result of being affected by crime for a long time.
The criminal police team is now busy looking for the judge's child, surveillance video, visits and investigations, a series of criminal investigations are carried out in the quiet metropolis at night. Xu Jiuyan saw from the window, the dimly lit place was bustling, and the dark place was barely visible.
Guan Zheng lightly entered Xu Jiuyan's ward, but Xu Jiuyan kicked her salary at the door and asked, "Recruit from the truth, what case?"
"What kind of case? It's still a dead body burning case." Guan Zheng said truthfully: "Judge Wang's child is lost. We are still looking for it."
"Then you are still here? Why don't you go back and look for it together?" Xu Jiuyan was somewhat complaining.
Guan Zheng went under Xu Jiuyan's legs and said, "I am old, weak, and sick. It's a delay if I go. Don't worry, it will be fine if Li Chongyang is there."
Xu Jiuyan asked, "Has the acquittal decision been decided?"
Guan Zheng nodded and said: "It's settled. Judge Wang has communicated with the High People's Court and intends to change the result of the first-instance verdict when the court is in session."
Xu Jiuyan said: "This is pretty good, so I can finally explain to the defendant."
Guan Zheng stretched his waist and said, "Yes, but everything depends on the opening of the court tomorrow."
"By the way, my dear, can I go to the second trial site tomorrow?"
Guan Zheng thought for a while and said, "This case is a bit special and meets the conditions for a public trial of the second instance. If you want to go, go with me."
Xu Jiuyan smiled and said, "Thank you dear."
"Okay, go to bed now."
Early, Guan Zheng and Xu Jiuyan went to the court to meet Judge Wang. Judge Wang obviously didn't sleep all night, and the suit was so unfitting. Mrs. Wang on one side also looked haggard, and her own flesh and blood is still missing. How can she be at ease? Guan Zheng comforted and said: "The police are still investigating, please wait patiently."
Judge Wang nodded and said, "Thank you."
Guan Zheng and Xu Jiuyan felt unbearable when they looked at Judge Wang and his wife's desolate appearance. Xu Jiuyan said: "If it weren't for their child to be kidnapped, would they not be acquitted?"
"This should be asked of you, you are professional." Guan Zheng threw this question back to Xu Jiuyan, Xu Jiuyan said: "I don't know, if I were a judge, I'm afraid I would make a verdict of not guilty. ."
Guan Zheng said: "So, Judge Wang will suffer parting. In fact, according to the evidence we currently have, the kidnappers will not harm the child, but the parting pain is the most unbearable."
Xu Jiuyan was about to drag Guan Zheng in when she was pulled back by Guan Zheng. Xu Jiuyan asked, "What are you doing? Why don't you go in?"
"We will go in when everyone else has gone in."
Xu Jiuyan looked at Guan Zheng's mysterious appearance and said, "Are you trying to say that the kidnappers will come to see the second trial?"
"Of course, this is his purpose." Guan Zheng glanced across the audience, but nothing was unusual.
There were not many people who came to listen. They looked like seven or eight people, but the sanctioners who didn't want to find one.
Xu Jiuyan asked quietly: "Did he not come?"
Guan Zheng said: "I don't know, for the time being I think it should have not come."
The judges were seated, and other staff members were seated in turn. Everything was proceeding step by step, and there was no abnormality in the one and a half hour process. Finally, the judge stood up and pronounced the sentence: The People's Court of Linchuan District of Nanyi City tried the case of defendant Wu Yajun's murder and burning of the body, and issued a criminal sentence (2017) Nan Xing Chu Zi No. 2384910 on June 28, 2017. The defendant Wu Yajun refused to accept and lodged an appeal. This court formed a collegiate panel in accordance with the law and opened a court session to hear the case. The chief prosecutor of the Nanyi People's Procuratorate appeared in court to support the prosecution, and the trial of this case has now been concluded.
After the trial, it was found that the defendant Wu Yajun had appeared at the scene of the crime with tools suspected of committing the crime while he was witnessed by the witness Chen Xi. The witness testimony stated that he witnessed the crime with his own eyes, but could not elaborate on the relevant details. Therefore, it is believed that the witness testimony was suspected of forgery and could not prove that the defendant Wu Yajun committed the act of killing and burning the body.
This court held that the original judgment failed to give a reasonable explanation to the existing evidence, the witness testimony was not supported by evidence, the facts were unclear, and the evidence was insufficient. In accordance with the "Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China", the ruling is as follows: 1. To revoke the criminal ruling of the People's Court of Linchuan District, Nanyi City (2017) Nan Xing Chu Zi No. 2384910. Second, send it back to the People's Court of Linchuan District, Nanyi City for a new trial.
Guan Zheng listened to the verdict, and he was relieved. As soon as Guan Zheng turned his head, he was startled by Li Chongyang's head. Li Chongyang smiled, sat down, and said, "I didn't expect to reverse the case."
"That's not it, as long as it is a fact, it will definitely be reversed." Guan Zheng said confidently.
Li Chongyang nodded and said, "I hope."
As the presiding judge and judges walked out of the court, the second trial was over. The next step was Judge Wang's retrial. (End of this chapter)
