Chapter 102: The Defendant's Statement! Everyone Is Confused Again!
Video playback.
A bus is coming from a distance.
When getting closer to the camera, a black cat scurried over in front of the bus.
An old lady with white hair and a cane appeared on the other side of the road.
Immediately afterwards, the bus experienced a slight bump.
The bus did not stop and sped past.
Just as the bus was passing by.
The old lady lay down on the edge of the road at the back of the car.
But due to the obstruction of the bus body.
The surveillance video did not show the specific scene when the bus and the old man crossed each other.
But it looks like just from the video.
Much like the side of a bus hitting an old man.
This video was circulated on the Internet.
So most of the audience has actually seen it already.
But all netizens who have watched this video basically agree.
The person was hit by a bus.
The video is now being shown in court.
Once again, recognition of this fact was stirred up.
After the video is played.
The screen jumps again to the scene where the bus and the old man are crossing each other.
On the plaintiff's bench.
Liu Song pointed at the picture on the screen and said.
"Everyone, please take a look."
"This is the picture recorded by the surveillance equipment on the other side of the road where the crime occurred at the time of the crime."
"Although the surveillance footage did not directly capture the scene where the victim, Mrs. Zhuang Jie, was hit."
"But it is not difficult to tell from the position of Mrs. Zhuang and the bus, the posture of Mrs. Zhuang when she fell to the ground, and the slight bumps of the bus."
"Old Mrs. Zhuang Jie was hit by the bus driven by the defendant Cui Fang!"
"I think all discerning people here and watching the live broadcast on the Internet will have no objection to this!"
"Therefore, even if the monitoring equipment on the same side was undergoing maintenance at the time of the incident, it could not provide a positive picture of the accident."
"I think this surveillance video alone is enough to determine the responsibility for this traffic accident!"
Liu Song's view is in line with most people's thoughts.
Everyone agreed with this.
At this time, Guan Xiaoning raised her hand to express.
"Presiding Judge, I have an objection!"
The presiding judge Quan Xing hesitated for a moment, nodded and said.
"The defendant is invited to object."
Guan Xiaoning pondered for a moment, as if she was mentally building herself up.
Then she looked up and said.
"I have three objections to the plaintiff's lawyer's argument."
"First, according to information provided by the Yongfeng District Traffic Police Department, on the night of the incident, there was a small amount of gravel on the road where the incident occurred."
"The slight bumps that occurred on the bus at that time were entirely possible caused by gravel and were not necessarily caused by friction."
"Second, the other party only relied on a video evidence that was not complete and comprehensive, plus some unfounded speculations and fantasies."
"I just want to characterize this case as a traffic accident, and also want to accuse my client of committing a crime. We really can't agree with it!"
"Third, since the other party accuses our client of a crime, he should be aware of the principle of pleading guilty beyond doubt."
"If the plaintiff insists that my client is guilty of a traffic accident, please ask the other party to provide sufficient evidence and speak with facts!"
Guan Xiaoning's objection made Liu Song frown slightly.
I didn’t expect this intern to be a bit difficult to deal with!
I heard that he originally planned to intern at our institution.
But when he heard that Lin Hao had resigned, he ran away with Lin Hao.
I really don’t know where Lin Hao got so much good luck!
An intern with such good qualifications still wants to hang out with him!
If she had stayed in the institution, she would have been my assistant!
What a pity!
Since you chose Lin Hao, don't blame me for not being compassionate!
Liu Song immediately retorted with a serious face.
"Ms. Guan, what you said is very good! The bumps on the bus may indeed be caused by gravel."
"But normally, if a person's vehicle is bumped, shouldn't he look in the rearview mirror?"
"As long as he glances at the rearview mirror, he can find an old man falling behind the car, and he can send the old man to the hospital as soon as possible."
"But why did the defendant Cui Fang leave the scene in a hurry without even looking back?"
"That's because he saw in the rearview mirror that he hit someone, and in a panic, he instinctively fled the scene!"
"This was clearly a hit and run incident!"
Liu Song's speech was once again unanimously recognized by the melon-eating crowd.
There was a lot of discussion in the audience.
That’s right!
It wasn't him who hit it, so why did he run away?
Even if you are afraid of being blackmailed, wouldn't it be enough if you don't help her?
It's okay to call an ambulance, right?
Discussions like this are endless.
It made Cui Fang himself feel a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that the momentum was not going well, Guan Xiaoning said quickly.
"On this point, presiding judge, I would like to apply for my client to make his own statement."
The presiding judge Quan Xing nodded expressionlessly and said.
"Agree to the application."
"Defendant Cui Fang, please describe the circumstances of the incident."
Cui Fang stood up nervously.
After taking a look at Lin Hao, he said.
"This is what happened on the night of the crime."
"I ran the last night bus and drove back to the parking lot as usual."
"Because I always drive the same route, I am quite familiar with it. In addition, there are not many cars at night, so I drove relatively relaxed."
"When I passed the gate of the elementary school, a black shadow suddenly ran across the road and scared me!"
"I stared at the other side of the road for a long time before I saw clearly that it was a kitten."
"My car shook a little at this time, but I saw sand on the road a long time ago, so I didn't care."
"I was indeed a little scared by the kitten at that time. I just wanted to drive the car back quickly and didn't even think about looking back."
"As for whether I hit anyone, I don't know myself."
"But that road is relatively remote, and there are basically no people after students go home from school. .”
“I never thought that I might hit someone, let alone run away, that’s impossible!”
“In fact, because many people used to try to scam people on buses, the company bought us high insurance.”
“To be honest, we are not afraid of hitting people at all. Of course, I am not saying that I will drive carefully because of this.”
“What I mean is that even if she scammed me or wanted to blackmail me, I would just report it to the insurance company, and the rest would be handled by the insurance company.”
“So, there is no need for me to run away!”
“I really didn’t know there was an old lady lying behind me, otherwise I would have stopped to call an ambulance for her!”
Cui Fang’s statement surprised everyone.
According to Cui Fang, there was really no need for him to run away.
At this point, the onlookers were once again in a state of confusion!
