Chapter 955: Chapter 308: Create a Typical Case Study!_3
Finally, Xia Guangling couldn’t help but speak out: “Lawyer Tang, don’t you know why we didn’t sleep well? The ruckus you caused before, do you really think that involving the Public Security Authorities is enough?”
During the New Year period, Old Tang got over two hundred people locked up, Old Ge worked overtime until he almost exploded, and the Procuratorate has been no less busy!
With so many cases to review, of course overtime was necessary.
Upon hearing this, Old Tang immediately shut his mouth, turned his head to look at the wall, and started to whistle, today the wind is quite noisy…
He now doesn’t even dare to go to the Renmin Road police station, fearing Old Ge would get lethal with him…
Although he has “Brink of Death Protection,” this critical skill must be used at the right moment, but he hadn’t expected the Procuratorate to be in this situation as well…
After waiting for what felt like ages until the door opened, Old Tang hurriedly sat down at the defendant’s representative’s spot, and then started to feign sleep.
As time passed, more and more people entered, Wang Wenyan and her family, Ju Haiqing, all sat in the visitors’ gallery.
Director Zheng and Chen Jing also arrived; although confident, they too wanted to know the outcome of the case firsthand.
However, seeing the situation on the visitors’ bench, the two of them still chose seats closer to the door.
After a long wait, the collegiate bench arrived, and the trial began.
It was the usual process of the Criminal Court, the Presiding Judge banged the gavel: “Summon the defendant, Lan Baosheng to court!”
Immediately, two Court Police brought Lan Baosheng up to the courtroom.
What followed was identity verification, and some routine questioning, such as whether he had been criminally punished before.
The courtroom investigation began soon after, the prosecutor read the indictment aloud.
The content of the indictment wasn’t anything special; at least on the surface, the case seemed quite solid with conclusive evidence of extortion.
Then the Presiding Judge asked: “Defendant, have you heard the contents of the indictment clearly?”
Lan Baosheng nodded and said: “I have heard them.”
The Presiding Judge asked again: “Are the allegations in the indictment factual?”
“They are not factual!” Lan Baosheng said without any hesitation.
The Presiding Judge, without any expression, continued: “Does the defendant have any objection to the charges in the indictment?”
“I object, I am not guilty.”
Xia Guangling’s face was expressionless, but her dark circles made her look far from serious.
After the Presiding Judge finished asking, it was the prosecutor’s turn for the interrogation, which was basically the same as always.
In any case, Lan Baosheng denied all charges; he had not committed any crime.
After the prosecutor presented the evidence, Lawyer Tang from the defendant’s side began the defense.
“First of all, Lan Baosheng, after reporting Yuanhe Company, did not notify the company. On the contrary, it was the company who learned of Lan Baosheng’s report through someone else and then took the initiative to contact him.”
“Secondly, from the third piece of evidence, the recording, we can tell that Lan Baosheng first asked for labor compensation, but the company did not answer directly. Instead, they took the initiative to ask how much money would make Lan Baosheng withdraw his report!”
“Then, regarding the fifth audio evidence and the eighth evidence, the receipt that the prosecutor pointed to, Lan Baosheng had already prepared to file a labor arbitration after the third meeting, calculating that his labor compensation should total around 150,000 yuan. ”
“Therefore, when summoned by Yuanhe Company once more, he had reason to believe that the money the company gave him was indeed for labor compensation, and overall, it seems that Yuanhe Company was ready from the start; they deliberately avoided discussing labor compensation and kept trying to divert Lan Baosheng’s attention to taking money for retracting his report…”
“In summary, Lan Baosheng’s sole objective has always been to claim his labor compensation; he had no intention of illegal possession and should be acquitted!”
In the gallery, Director Zheng suddenly became restless; he was unable to sit still, and if not for Chen Jing holding him, he might have stood up to argue a few points.
Because… that was indeed what he had done.
After finishing his statement, the Presiding Judge looked towards the prosecutor: “Does the prosecutor have anything to add?”
Xia Guangling quickly responded: “We do not agree with the statements made by the defense attorney.”
“During their last meeting, Lan Baosheng accepted a transfer of 50,000 yuan from Yuanhe Company and signed on a receipt that included ‘withdrawing the report against Yuanhe Municipal Landscaping Co., Ltd.'”

“Thus, it can be concluded that Lan Baosheng had the intent of illegal possession…”
The Presiding Judge then looked back at Lawyer Tang: “Defense attorney?”
“I believe the prosecutor has completely overlooked the correlation between all the evidence. From the very beginning, Lan Baosheng never initiated contact with Yuanhe Company; on the contrary, it was always Yuanhe Company that proactively contacted him.”
“Including the discussion about giving money to retract the report, it was Yuanhe Company who mentioned it, not Lan Baosheng. Moreover, Yuanhe Company secretly recorded each conversation.”
“In the last conversation, Lan Baosheng had already filed for labor arbitration, and as the evidence shows, a copy of the application had been served to Yuanhe Company, so they were aware of the amount of compensation he was preparing to ask for.”
“Still, Yuanhe Company deliberately avoided discussing compensation, yet they set the compensation amount to be the same as the damages, willfully creating confusion to induce Lan Baosheng to sign. In conclusion, if I say that Yuanhe Company deliberately schemed to have my client imprisoned, is there a problem?”
Xia Guangling opened her mouth but didn’t speak.
After the final statements from both sides, the Presiding Judge announced the adjournment.
Lawyer Tang looked at the materials in his hand, feeling a premonition that this case might become a landmark case!
The Supreme Court must make regulations regarding this matter; even if a worker reports a company for the sake of claiming compensation, it should not be considered extortion!
Because compensation is their rightful due, there is no intention of illegal possession!
Being a landmark case would also be a way to give something back to Old Zhou… hey, it seems Old Zhou is a judge in civil court…
Cough cough, we are all from the Guangming District Court, so it doesn’t matter who benefits from it, right? Just admit it!
