"Zhai Nan, it's not okay for you to write like this."

Mu Zi returned the pages of the document to Zhai Nan, with puzzlement in her eyes, "Why are you writing like this?" ”

"Isn't that right?" Zhai Nan looked dazed, looked down and looked at his homework again.

"That's not a defense at all." Mu Zi said, "Zhai Nan, think about it, if you are your agent, would you like to see such a defense?" It's almost indistinguishable from a confession. ”

Zhai Nan was slightly embarrassed and muttered: "But he is a murderer, the blood stains in his house match the corpse, and the neighbor also heard the quarrel between the two, obviously he killed the other party in the quarrel, and then threw the body into the garbage can, the facts of the crime are clear, all I can do is help him reduce the punishment......"

Mu Zi sighed in her heart, she felt that Zhai Nan had grasped the wrong point at all.

"Were you present at the time of the crime?" Mu Zi asked him.

Zhai Nan was stunned when asked, "This is just a case......

It's a fabricated story, it's false, how could Zhai Nan be there?

"Since you're not at the scene of the crime, how do you know if he's killed someone?" Mu Zidao.

Zhai Nan hesitated: "There are traces of the victim's blood in his house......"

Mu Zi interrupted him: "Zhai Nan, it's not right for you to do this, the teacher wants us to write a defense statement, not a criminal complaint, your role is a defense lawyer, not a prosecutor, you must make it clear that no one knows what the truth is, your duty is to provide a strong defense for your client, do your best!" ”

“…… Even if he's a murderer? Zhai Nan's face was embarrassed.

Mu Zi was helpless, and said with his forehead raised: "Anyone is innocent until they are convicted!" No matter how atrocious and terrible the alleged crime is, he has the right to a fair and lawful trial! And the only way to get such a trial is for a defense lawyer to defend them with due diligence!

But look at your defense, Zhai Nan, you are tantamount to depriving him of his legal right to be tried, as his defense lawyer, under the premise of legality and compliance, you must do your best to protect his interests, at all costs, even if he is a murderer! ”

Zhai Nan frowned, and couldn't help but retort: "I know that he killed someone, but I still have to work hard to help him clear his name?" Do this...... Isn't that a little, immoral? ”

"If you're a doctor and there's a dying murderer in front of you, can you save it?" Mu Zi asked him, "If you save him, maybe he will kill people again in the future, then is your behavior of saving people immoral?"

The doctor's duty is to save lives, and he does not consider whether the patient is good or bad, and the same is true for lawyers, whether the client is good or bad, the lawyer's primary duty is to maintain the normal operation of the judicial process. Even if he did kill someone and to be put to death, he would have to be deprived of his life through a legal and just procedure. ”

Mu Zi really cared about Zhai Nan, so he would go to great lengths to say such a thing.

Zhai Nan took the judicial examination five times, and finally entered the judicial research institute, Mu Zi sincerely hoped that he could graduate successfully.

Zhai Nan seemed to understand a little, scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed face, and asked in a low voice, "Then what do you think...... How should I change it, better? ”

"Let's rewrite it." Mu Zi sighed. "You have to understand that the prosecutor initiates the prosecution, the lawyer provides the defense, and the judge is in the middle of the judgment, which is the triangular structure of the trial, and in this structure, no corner can be abandoned, otherwise the pattern of the balance between the prosecution and defense will be broken, and it is easy to fall into judicial arbitrariness, so before you consider morality, you must be clear about the role of the system you are in, and whether you have fulfilled your duty."
