Chapter 58 Three Objections! Everyone Is Trembling!

Haining District Procuratorate.

There were more than a dozen participants sitting in a small conference room.

Except for Lin Hao and Ding Hongfei.

Mainly the Haining District Police, the Procuratorate, and the inspection team members sent by the Shanghai Municipal Procuratorate.

After the squid explained the investigation and interrogation situation.

They began to discuss prosecution charges and sentencing recommendations.

A squid said.

"In view of the fact that the persons involved actively cooperated with the investigation and had a good attitude of pleading guilty and accepting punishment, I suggest that a lighter punishment be considered."

a prosecutor continued.

"Other personnel may be considered for lighter punishment, but He Wencheng, the former deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, and Sun Xiaolong, the police officer of the first detachment, should be punished with priority!"

"He Wencheng, as the one who issued the order, can be regarded as the principal culprit in this case."

"Sun Xiaolong is the main perpetrator of torture in this case. The methods are extremely cruel and the circumstances are extremely heinous."

"I think these two must be severely punished!"

The lead prosecutor, Quan Zhihui, nodded in approval.

"That makes sense. Let me tell you what I think."

"I think He Wencheng and Sun Xiaolong should bear the main responsibility in this case."

"Based on the sentencing range for the crime of extorting confessions by torture, it is recommended that the sentence be sentenced to between two and three years."

"The remaining investigators bear secondary responsibility and it is recommended that the sentencing be controlled within one year."

"As for the public prosecutor involved in the case, the circumstances are relatively minor. I think a suspended sentence or exemption from punishment can be considered!"

"I wonder if anyone has any objections to this public prosecution opinion?"

After the host prosecutor finished speaking, most people nodded in agreement.

Only the victim and the inspection team remained silent.

At this time, Lin Hao suddenly raised his hand to signal.

"I have objections!"

Everyone heard the sound and looked at Lin Hao, very surprised.

Everything Quan Zhihui said makes sense and there is nothing wrong with it.

It was hard for them to imagine that Lin Hao could have any objections.

Quan Zhihui was also a little surprised and asked doubtfully.

"Lawyer Lin, please tell me where you have any objections."

Lin Hao sat upright and said seriously.

"I have three objections to Prosecutor Quan's opinion on the prosecution."

"First, I have no opinion on other people's sentencing recommendations, but I have something to say about Sun Xiaolong."

"As the main executor of torture in this case, Sun Xiaolong used ruthless methods and extremely heavy-handed tactics!"

"I think Sun Xiaolong tortured my client to extract a confession, causing my client serious injuries!"

“According to Article 284 of my country’s Criminal Law, judicial officers who torture criminal suspects or defendants to extract confessions shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention.”

"But if someone causes serious injury, he will be severely punished according to the crime of intentional injury stipulated in Article 234 of the Criminal Law!"

"Article 234 of my country's Criminal Law stipulates that anyone who intentionally injures another person's body and causes serious injury shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years!"

"That is to say, Sun Xiaolong should be severely punished as intentionally causing serious injury and sentenced to ten years in prison!"

As soon as Lin Hao said these words, everyone was shocked.

Is this person a demon?

Must he be sentenced to the highest standard?

Quan Zhihui explained.

"Lawyer Lin, we all know what you said."

"But so much time has passed now, and there is no permanent trauma left on Ding Hongfei's body. There is no way to go back in time to examine Ding Hongfei's injuries!"

"Although Sun Xiaolong's own testimony proves that he was indeed very serious on one occasion, but without corresponding evidence, it is difficult to make a determination of serious injury!"

What Quan Zhihui said is indeed true.

Testimony alone without evidence cannot convict someone.

But Lin Hao didn't panic at all, he said calmly.

"Have you all forgotten? We have proof!"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what evidence Lin Hao was talking about.

Seeing everyone's doubts, Lin Hao continued.

"Do you still remember the interrogation video where Ding Hongfei was beaten?"

"If you enlarge the screenshot of the video, you can see that after Ding Hongfei was beaten, although the scars on his body were covered by clothes, there were obvious bruises and swelling on his face."

"According to my country's standards for identifying serious injuries, a victim's face can be considered seriously injured if a single block of facial scar covers an area of ​​more than 6 square centimeters, or if two or more scars total an area of ​​10 square centimeters."

"Ding Hongfei's facial scars at that time can fully meet this standard!"

Quan Zhihui suddenly realized.

"I see, we were negligent. I will arrange a forensic examination immediately!"

"But in this case, Yao Cheng, who acted with him at the time, will also be included in the calculation."

Before everyone could be surprised, Lin Hao said again.

"Second, Sun Xiaolong and others are so skilled in their torture techniques. Do you believe this is their first time committing a crime?"

"Extorting confessions through torture is a habit in handling cases. I believe this cannot be formed overnight."

"And such a case-handling atmosphere is bound to affect more than just these case-handling personnel."

"If a thorough investigation is carried out, I'm afraid not many police officers in Haining District will have clean hands and feet!"

"Of course, if there is a large-scale thorough investigation, the impact will probably be huge, so I don't expect you to miss anyone."

"Since only these few have been arrested now, we should at least dig out all the historical crimes of these few!"

The Haining District Police and Procuratorate personnel stared blankly.

In order to consider the impact, they did not intend to dig deeper.

So at this moment, they were a little embarrassed to be exposed by Lin Hao.

The three members of the inspection team nodded one after another.

This lawyer Lin is really bold!

Quan Zhihui asked embarrassedly.

"What about the third point?"

Lin Hao continued.

"Third, I think the judges of this case should also be included in the scope of public prosecution."

Quan Zhihui was surprised.

"Ah? The judges of this case do not seem to have obvious illegal and irregular behaviors, right?"

"It would be a bit of judicial overreach to rashly prosecute them together, right?"

Others also agreed with Quan Zhihui's opinion.

Seeing this, Lin Hao said disdainfully.

"Do you all think that the judges of this case are not responsible?"

"The tools used to commit the crime have never been found, and the parties who have firmly changed their confessions..."

"Do the judges dare to say that when they made the judgment, they firmly believed that there was no doubt about the case?"

"Isn't it extremely irresponsible for the parties to make arbitrary judgments under such circumstances?"

"Is the occurrence of an unjust, false and wrong case just because there is a problem in one of the links?"

"No! In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent!"

Lin Hao's righteous look made everyone present twitch their eyelids.

They were all scared in their hearts.

How can this person bite anyone he sees like a mad dog!

I hope I will never be targeted by him!

Their worries are justified.

Even the most fair-minded people will inevitably make mistakes.

What if Lin Hao accidentally catches their little handle.

They are really afraid that Lin Hao will bite them to death.

Even the three members of the inspection team looked at Lin Hao with new eyes.

Before, I just heard that Lawyer Lin was good at upholding justice.

Now I see that Lawyer Lin is simply the embodiment of justice!

Quan Zhihui looked at the whole audience and found that everyone had a frown on their face.

He was at a loss for a moment and could only look at the inspection team.

He said to Shi Lei, the leader of the inspection team.

"Commissioner Shi, you are the leader of this inspection team. How about you also express your opinion?"
