In fact, with Zhao Xiaoning's current situation, he is not qualified to hire a defense lawyer at all, after all, the evidence of his murder is very conclusive, and he only needs to hold a court to announce the verdict.

After entering the trial room, Zhao Xiaoning sat in the suspect's position, but he was not handcuffed or shackled throughout. Although he is a murderer, everyone knows that he is just taking the blame for others, although the law is ruthless, they don't want Zhao Xiaoning to be too unbearable.

There were few people in the courtroom, except for Xie Zhenlong, Qi Guoliang and Gao Xianghua, the county magistrate. Behind Zhao Xiaoning sat a middle-aged man in his forties, with a sign in front of him, which read the defendant's lawyer.

Obviously, this should be the lawyer Xie Feihong said.

In addition to these people, there are also Wang Yukun's wife and daughter, after all, they are also victims. Although they haven't seen each other for a day, the mother and daughter seem to be much older, and their faces are full of sickness. The most important thing is that they are all handcuffed and shackled.

Yes, although the mother and daughter are victims, they are also suspects and must be handcuffed and shackled.

In addition to this there is a young lawyer of thirty-five or sixteen, wearing a suit and glasses. It seems that it should be the defense lawyer they hired.

Seeing Zhao Xiaoning appear, the eyes of the mother and daughter revealed hatred that was difficult to hide. Although they also knew that Zhao Xiaoning was innocent, his act of destroying the body angered them, and they longed for Zhao Xiaoning to die.

The presiding judge, a middle-aged woman, saw the time, knocked on the gavel in front of her, and announced the opening of the trial: "Zhao Xiaoning, can you admit to trampling the victim Wang Yukun to death by violent means?"

Zhao Xiaoning said: "Although Wang Yukun was trampled to death by me, I don't admit that violent means were used, and I can only say that it is manslaughter." ”

At this time, the lawyer invited by Wang Erya's mother and daughter stood up: "Madam Judge, I disagree with the defendant's point of view. This is the autopsy report, which clearly states that the victim's ribs have collapsed and all his organs are broken, and this situation is not manslaughter, but intentional homicide, and the means are extremely brutal. ”

"The opposition is valid. The presiding judge said lightly.

"Madam Presiding Judge, although the autopsy report says that the victim is all in pieces, I still believe that Zhao Xiaoning is innocent. The middle-aged lawyer behind Zhao Xiaoning stood up. His name is Chen Tianhe, and he is a well-known lawyer in China, who has his own law firm in Beijing, and the commission will not be less than seven figures after a lawsuit.

"I disagree with the other side's point of view. The defense lawyer on Wang Erya's mother and daughter's side spoke: "Innocent? Do you know how much strength it takes to break a person's ribs? I asked the forensic doctor, if you want to break a rib, you need at least 200 catties of strength? Is it considered manslaughter to exert such a great force?"

The presiding judge spoke: "The opposition is valid. ”

As I said before, the evidence in this case is conclusive, and Zhao Xiaoning's situation is very unfavorable. Not to mention hiring a lawyer, even if you invite Ji Xiaolan, who has iron teeth and bronze teeth, it is useless.

Chen Tianhe's expression was calm: "Madam Presiding Judge, the victim just said that it takes 200 catties of strength to step on a rib?

"There are twelve pairs of ribs in the human body. The presiding judge replied.

The lawyer hired by Wang Erya's mother and daughter spoke again: "The issue of the defendant has nothing to do with this case. ”

As far as I know, all the ribs on the victim's chest were broken, and it was precisely because those broken ribs pierced into the five organs that the victim died tragically.

But according to what the other party said, if it takes 200 catties of strength to step on one rib, then all the ribs are broken, how much strength does it take?"

Hearing this statistic, everyone gasped because everyone ignored the problem. And this is also an extremely critical issue.

Chen Tianhe continued: "The defendant has been immensely powerful since he was a child, and even if he stepped on the victim, I believe it would be an unintentional mistake. ”

"I'm against that, unless you can prove that he was really powerful, I still believe that he was a deliberate murderer, and that he had taken quite extreme measures. Said the lawyer on the victim's side.

"The opposition is valid. Again, the presiding judge spoke.

Seeing this scene, Gao Xianghua, Qi Guoliang, and Meng Tao both held their breath, because they knew that this issue would affect Zhao Xiaoning's future. If his defense lawyer can present valid and reliable evidence, then the nature of the case will change, and the crime of intentional homicide will become manslaughter, even if Zhao Xiaoning is an adult, he will be imprisoned for a few years at most.

Chen Tianhe continued: "Madam Presiding Judge, I need a prop to prove the innocence of the defendant. ”

The presiding judge nodded slightly.

Chen Tianhe gestured outside, and then saw two strong men walking in carrying a stone slab more than ten centimeters thick.

The slate is about one and a half meters long, square, and is that hard granite. The slate was finally placed next to Zhao Xiaoning.

Chen Tianhe looked at the presiding judge and asked politely, "May I ask if the granite slabs are hard, or are the human ribs hard?"

"Obviously, granite is much harder than ribs. The presiding judge said.

Chen Tianhe said: "If our defendant can step on the gravel slab, can it be proved that he is a manslaughter?"

"I disagree with the defense side, and this comparison is simply untenable. The lawyer on the victim's side said loudly.

"The objection is invalid. The presiding judge said.

It was only at this time that Zhao Xiaoning understood why Xie Feihong insisted that it was manslaughter, thinking that once he stepped on this stone slab, the charge of intentional homicide and extremely cruel means would be self-defeating.

Fortunately, a few of them came over, after all, only they know that they are not ordinary people.

Meng Tao and a few others who didn't know the truth were immediately stunned, and stepped on the broken stone slab with their feet? Your sister, you're not kidding, are you? This kind of stone slab is difficult to crush even if it is struck with a sledgehammer, okay? Zhao Xiaoning can crush it even if he has infinite strength?

Not only Meng Tao and the others felt incredible, but so did the presiding judge and the two judges, because people's strength is always limited. Even so, since the other party has an opinion, he must give them a chance to show it.

"The defendant had three chances to try. The presiding judge said again.

Chen Tianhe glanced at Zhao Xiaoning, and then Zhao Xiaoning smiled knowingly and slowly stood up. Under the expectant eyes of everyone, he came down to the stone slab.

Closing his eyes, Zhao Xiaoning silently recited the Shennong Jue, and then controlled the true qi in the dantian to be instilled into his right foot.

With a low shout, everyone saw Zhao Xiaoning suddenly raise his right foot and stomp on the stone slab under him.

Syllable!

When Zhao Xiaoning's right foot fell, a crisp cracking sound suddenly sounded, and the earth seemed to tremble. It was as if the foot was not on the stone slab, but on their hearts.

Walking down the slate, everyone clearly saw that the originally intact slate had cracked in the middle, and the crack was like a spider's web, which made people feel deeply shocked.

Chen Tianhe smiled slightly: "Madam Presiding Judge, can you prove that Zhao Xiaoning is manslaughter now?"
