Chapter 1198 Destruction is easier than construction

December 31, Friday morning.

Panshan Group High People's Court General Hospital.

On this day, the Du Yu case was publicly tried, which was also the final trial of the case.

In view of the huge social influence of the case, the Supreme People's Court sent a working group to participate in the trial of this case. In addition, the Panshan Group High People's Court General Hospital invited ten professors from universities such as Southwest Associated University and Huaxia University of Political Science and Law, and ten famous lawyers from Huaxia Law Firm to attend the trial. At the same time, as many as 500 people's representatives from all walks of life were invited.

This time, the trial was open to the public, and CCTV1 and Xiangjiang Satellite TV broadcast live on TV and the Internet. Anyone who is interested can see the whole process of the trial.

Before the trial started, more than 200 reporters were reporting on the scene and interviewing the representatives who came.

The number of online viewers on the Internet alone has exceeded 90 million.

Finally, at 9 o'clock in the morning, the court!

"Everyone stand up!" As the clerk's voice sounded, everyone in the audience stood up: "Please invite the presiding judge and judges to enter the court!"

Five people entered the court in judge robes and sat down.

"Please sit down!" He Rong said, and everyone sat down.

He Rong picked up the gavel and knocked it, announcing: "The court is now in session!"

The trial started with the judge entering the court. The entire procedure was in accordance with the law and regulations, giving people a sense of what a real court trial is like.

Many people who have been in court were dumbfounded when watching the live broadcast. Why is it different from the court trials they have experienced?

The entire procedure was clear and strictly followed the court trial process.

When preparing for the court session, the clerk will find out whether the parties and other litigation participants have attended the court session, and then the clerk will announce the court discipline, the presiding judge will check the parties, announce the cause of the case and the list of judges and clerks, introduce the main representatives, and then inform the parties of the relevant litigation rights and obligations, and ask the parties whether they have applied for recusation.

If the parties do not apply for recusation, the court will enter the investigation stage.

Then there will be court debate!

When it came to the final verdict, He Rong said: "There are two main controversial points in this case: 1. Whether the two people collided, 2. The amount of losses to be compensated."

In this case, there was no third-party evidence to prove that it was Du Yu who hit the old man, and Du Yu also insisted that he did not hit anyone. Only the old man insisted that it was Du Yu who hit the old man; and the police lost the interrogation records of both parties at the time of the incident, lacking the original direct evidence support.

Therefore, in this verdict, Du Yu does not need to pay compensation, and the other party is ordered to compensate Du Yu for legal litigation fees, mental damages, and work delays of 200,000 yuan.

This trial also caused a lot of discussion.

First of all, this high-level trial allowed everyone to see a formal trial, and many people couldn't help but praise it as the ceiling of the procedure.

Then the entire trial process was fair and just, and everything revolved around evidence, rather than judging the case according to "high probability" without evidence.

Before this, the biggest problem that caused heated discussion about this case was not right or wrong, but incorrect procedures and lack of legal evidence.

This time, the procedure is absolutely the ceiling in China. The first-level judge presided over the trial in person, and the whole procedure is impeccable.

In terms of evidence, legal and effective evidence is always emphasized.

Moreover, this time it was not a closed-court trial, nor was it kept confidential. Instead, it was an open trial, and it was also live on TV and the Internet.

According to the survey, the number of people watching this case on TV exceeded 150 million, and the peak number of people watching the live broadcast on the Internet reached 250 million.

It can be said that it was made public!

The verdict was well-founded and logically clear, which made it impossible to refute.

When the representatives were interviewed afterwards, they gave a very high evaluation of this trial. At the same time, many representatives mentioned one point, that is, the urgency of improving the professional level and professional quality of court staff, as well as the procedural nature of the trial.

Of course, some representatives also proposed that the cost of false accusations, rumors, and extortion should be higher.

However, some people also raised a sharp question, that is, whether the judicial system can reject the self-reported testimony of a seriously injured victim without sufficient physical evidence.

For example, if someone is hit and has a broken bone and is lying in the hospital, after reporting the case, the police come over and say: There is no surveillance around, and the other party does not admit it, so I closed the case, and wish you a speedy recovery.

Is this too cruel for the person who was hit and had a broken bone?

Liu Tao personally attended the trial as a representative. After the trial, he did not accept interviews from reporters, but went to the cafeteria with other representatives under the guidance of the staff.

Everyone took a plate and lined up to get rice and vegetables.

The food in the cafeteria is free, but there are people supervising to prevent waste.

Many reporters saw Liu Tao queuing with a plate and couldn't help but pick up the camera to take pictures.

Even Liu Tao queued up to get his own rice and vegetables, so others had no reason to want better.

Liu Tao sat with a representative. This representative was a representative of the Yunnan Provincial People's Congress, an ordinary citizen of Kun City, and was famous for his warm heart in Kun City. He set up a stall in the Yunnan Provincial Hospital to provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner to the patients' families, and even cooked rice and vegetables for the patients' families themselves. The price has never increased for 20 consecutive years.

Since the 1980s, this lady named Zheng Xuehong has served as a representative of the Yunnan Provincial People's Congress.

"Lei Feng's spirit is the spirit we need to keep resounding. When someone falls, helping the person who fell is doing a good deed and is a manifestation of Lei Feng's spirit. If Du Yu is sentenced to compensation this time, then it will be a sign of his love for helping others." It’s a huge mental blow. Will anyone dare to help an old man if he falls down? Will any young people dare to help an old man cross the road?” Ms. Zheng Xuehong said: “This time the penalty was imposed. Well, this is to safeguard legal justice and maintain social morality.”

Liu Tao had a smile on his face as he listened to Ms. Zheng Xuehong.

Then the representatives sitting next to him also expressed their opinions. There is no doubt that these representatives were very representative in being invited to attend the court hearing.

Some of them come from the military, some from the business community, some from the education sector, some from the legal sector, and some are from ordinary people.

After everyone finished eating, they took a break, and at 2:30 in the afternoon, a discussion meeting on the construction of the rule of law was held.

This meeting was hosted by He Rong himself. It was a closed-door meeting and not open to the public. Only the internal video of the court recorded the meeting.

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another and offered suggestions and advice for the construction of the legal system.

Even Liu Tao also put forward some opinions and suggestions.

It is much easier to destroy than to build.

Once it is destroyed, it is much more difficult and expensive to rebuild.

For example, today's court hearing, Liu Tao believes that it is worth learning from all courts and lawyers to make the entire court system and legal industry more standardized. (End of chapter)
