"Did you receive the defendant Shang Zaijun, the Dong'an Municipal People's Procuratorate's indictment and court notice?" Fang Chaoyang asked.

"Received!" Shang Zaijun nodded.

After the basic information inquiry was completed, Fang Chaoyang picked up a piece of information, stood up and said loudly: "The Dong'an Intermediate People's Court is now open for trial. The defendant Shang Zaijun, who was prosecuted by the Dong'an People's Procuratorate, is suspected of committing the crime of rape and murder. The collegial panel for the trial of this case is composed of the presiding judge Fang Chaoyang, the judges Gao Yiwei and Mu Fan, and the clerk is recorded by Zhao Fangfang. The Dong'an People's Procuratorate appointed prosecutors Yuan Dan and Li Chunlei to support the prosecution. On behalf of the defendant Shang Zaijun, Qiao Haiyang, a lawyer from Zhengwen Law Firm, appeared in court to defend the defendant Shang Zaijun."

After pausing for a moment, Fang Chaoyang announced the litigation rights enjoyed by the parties in the trial. Shang Zaijun said that he had heard it clearly and did not apply for recusation.

"Now, the court investigation is conducted, and the prosecutor will first read the indictment." Fang Chaoyang sat down again after he announced it.

Yuan Dan of the Procuratorate stood up and officially read out the indictment. The description of the case once made Sha Ziqiang and his wife cry softly, and the cruel method of committing the crime was outrageous.

The audience could not help but make a low-key comment. Shang Zaijun, who seemed honest, had a terrifying demon in his heart.

"Defendant Shang Zaijun, the indictment read by the prosecutor, have you heard it clearly?" Fang Chaoyang asked.

"I heard it clearly."

"Is it consistent with the indictment you received?"

“Consistent.”

"Defendant Shang Zaijun, do you have any objections to the crime that the indictment accused you of?"

"Yes, they all forced me to confess." Shang Zaijun changed his face immediately.

The crowd was full of uproar, torture was a very sensitive topic, and it usually caused unjust cases. Fang Chaoyang looked very calm. He had seen many such things, and many defendants wanted to use this method to try to overturn the case or delay the trial.

"The police are suspected of forcing confession. Do you have any evidence?"

"They hit me with a book, so they won't leave any scars. In addition, they won't let me sleep!" Shang Zaijun said with his neck.

"As far as I know, during the interrogation of the police, there were surveillance records throughout the process. If there is no evidence, don't say it."

"You are protecting them!" Shang Zaijun's voice became louder.

Fang Chaoyang skipped the topic and said, "The defendant Shang Zaijun, now you can make a brief statement about the crimes accused of you in the indictment."

"On the evening of September 10th this year, I went out to pick up plastic bottles and met a female ** running at night. She threw me the mineral water bottle in her hand, and she glared at me and hooked her fingers. I am a single man for many years. I couldn't resist seduction, so I followed her to the lawn on the side of the road. She took off her pants, and then we had sex. She despised me for a short time, took out a knife and asked me to compensate her for 100,000 yuan. I didn't agree, so she stabbed me with the knife. During the fight, I accidentally killed her, and it was indeed too much defense." Shang Zaijun said calmly, as if telling a story.

Shang Zaijun's statement is equivalent to completely overturning previous confessions, saying that rape is a voluntary relationship, and saying that murder is an excessive defense.

The most critical evidence of the case, he actually said that the bone-clearing knife was carried by the victim.

"Judge, he is talking nonsense. My daughter cannot fall in love with him. Moreover, she will not go out for a night run with a knife!" Sha Ziqiang also lost control and stood up and shouted loudly.

"Mr. Sha, please sit down." Fang Chaoyang pressed his hands, Sha Ziqiang wiped his tears, sat down heavily, inserted his fingers into his hair, and pulled them hard.

"Next, please ask the prosecutor to inquire about the defendant." Fang Chaoyang said.

Prosecutor Li Chunlei stood up and said, "Defendant, what you said now is completely inconsistent with the confession."

"I was forced to confess."

"I'll ask you, within a dozen days before the incident, did you see the victim Sha Meizi many times near Liaoyuan Street?" Li Chunlei asked.

"I may have seen it, but I didn't care. It's the best time to pick up garbage at night. If you have children who can't afford to go to school, you need funding. Of course, I have to work harder to pick up garbage and exchange money for money." Shang Zaijun said.

"Don't say it has nothing to do with the case, answer me, yes, or no."

"yes!"

"After forensic identification, in addition to knife wounds, there were also many bruises on the victim's body, which was obviously forced to have sex. How do you explain this?" Li Chunlei continued to ask.

"Of course the forensic doctor would speak to the police. The girl had a quirk. She begged me to pinch her, beat her, and said..."

"You shameless bastard, if the sky has eyes, let the lightning strike you to death!" Sha Ziqiang's wife completely collapsed. After shouting a few words, she tilted her head and fainted in the court.

"Send this lady to the hospital for emergency treatment immediately, and the court will be adjourned. At 1:00 p.m., the trial will be held in a non-public trial." Fang Chaoyang knocked the gavel heavily.

After leaving the court, the members of the collegial panel gathered in the conference room to continue the discussion. Gao Yiwei and Mu Fan were very angry. Shang Zaijun's remarks were clearly an insult to the victim.

"Boss, you must sentence this person seriously, otherwise it will be difficult for heaven to tolerate it." Gao Yiwei smashed his fist on the table.

"This is our dereliction of duty and we should not be tried publicly." Fang Chaoyang reviewed.

"No one knows that Shang Zaijun is showing a rogue in court."

"It's useless for him to argue. There is no evidence to overturn the previous confession." Fang Chaoyang was also very angry and took a sip of cigarettes.

"Boss, this case has started to make trouble on the Internet again." Xiao Zhao said while fiddling with his cell phone.

"Anyone who supports Shang Zaijun?" Fang Chaoyang asked.

"I haven't found out yet, and I'm just calling him shameless and vulgar. However, the police's forced confession will always cause some people to be nervous and question. Moreover, Shang Zaijun's daughter Shang Yuling also opened Weibo and kept defending her father under the banner of kindness." Xiao Zhao said.

At this time, Gao Yiwei's cell phone rang. It was prosecutor Yuan Dan who called. She was rushing to the Public Security Bureau and transferred the interrogation video to prove that the police were reasonable and legal during the interrogation process.

This case is not complicated. In order to escape legal sanctions, the suspect Shang Zaijun did not hesitate to overturn the case and made trouble, and tried to delay the court trial. The purpose of the criminal suspect Shang Zaijun tried to overturn the case and made a fuss.

The calm that Shang Zaijun showed made Fang Chaoyang feel a little worried. As far as it seems, this person's defense is not tenable at all. However, it is impossible to guarantee that he may release other refusals at the last moment.
