210: Zhou Lu and Ben have a connection

With curiosity, Zhu Haoxuan continued to read, and then he understood Lawyer Zhou's defense strategy.

"The continuity of criminal behavior... this seems indeed plausible, and then the actions of that client would have a defensive nature... this line of reasoning is very feasible!"

Zhu Haoxuan was not a criminal defense lawyer who only talked on paper; although he was now the director of a law firm, he still frequently handled frontline cases and kept up with current trends in theoretical research.

So he knew the basis for this presumption, and this maneuver was indeed brilliant, but Zhu Haoxuan believed he could also have thought of it if he were in a different place.

As long as he had met with the client, he would know that the other party had engaged in many instances of beatings and demands for money before.

Now there's a problem: the defensive nature is there, but how to determine the degree of defense?

Legitimate self-defense has only these two requirements: one is the defensive nature, and the other is the degree of defense. If both are met, then it is legitimate self-defense. If one handles many criminal cases, these things come to mind subconsciously.

In other words, it's about rich experience. Lawyers and doctors are quite similar in this regard. They read countless thick books in school, but a patient's illness is rarely as standard as described in books, and real-world cases are rarely like those in books.

Many people have seen those jokes: someone goes to the hospital, the doctor sees them and calls the interns over, introducing them by saying, "This patient's condition is very standard, almost exactly like in the textbook..."

So experience is extremely important. A lawyer cannot remember all laws; when encountering problems, they still need to look up legal provisions and judicial interpretations.

Zhu Haoxuan continued to watch, and then he became completely engrossed. The Lawyer Zhou in the video started from civil law, leveraged civil law to influence criminal law, and then proposed the brilliant idea of "identifying evil forces"!

"Wonderful, truly wonderful!" Zhu Haoxuan couldn't help but clap on the table and exclaim.

He genuinely hadn't thought of this move, or rather, even if he had handled this case himself, he wouldn't have thought of this move because the concept of "evil forces" simply hadn't crossed his mind.

This concept itself was introduced during the "Sweeping Black and Eliminating Evil" special action, and many people were aware of the background of that special action.

Before this, almost no one would have thought of labeling students as "evil forces."

However, the "Anti-Organized Crime Law" and the "Guiding Opinions on Several Issues Concerning the Handling of Black and Evil Force Criminal Cases" specifically mentioned that caution should be exercised in identifying juvenile evil force gangs...

This gave the idea a legal basis. Just as Zhou Yun said in the video, the guiding opinions state that identification should be cautious, which implies that it is possible to identify cases involving minors.

Then came the most climactic part: through the identification of evil forces, Zhou Yun directly included behaviors that could not originally be factored into sentencing, thus ingeniously breaking through the age limit for criminal responsibility!

At this moment, Zhu Haoxuan became even more firm in his belief: criminal defense lawyers should work with criminal defense lawyers, and Zhou Yun was destined for Zhengtian!

In the Magic City, Professor Dong was also boiling with excitement, but unlike Zhu Haoxuan, who deeply analyzed Zhou Yun's defense logic, he was more concerned that Lawyer Zhou had actually used legal means to force the originally broken school surveillance to become functional again!

Or rather, many netizens' focus was also here.

After all, surveillance in many places now is like Schrödinger's cat: before being turned on, it is in a quantum superposition of "good or bad," and only when it is determined to be retrieved does it collapse into a good or bad state based on the observer's thoughts.

The vast number of netizens are truly fed up with this situation; it's purely treating people like fools. Why did it break exactly at that time and not earlier or later?

With so many rules and regulations, and 24-hour uninterrupted shifts, the result is that it broke and no one knew. What on earth is the reason for this?

In the video, even with an investigation order, the school still insisted that the surveillance was broken.

To be honest, many netizens felt it was quite normal when they saw this part, or rather, it would have been abnormal if the surveillance hadn't been broken at that time.

However, when they saw the situation where the school surveillance suddenly became functional after the case was filed, everyone burst out laughing.

"Why is your head pointy?": It's so satisfying, isn't it? Still saying the surveillance was broken? Lawyer Zhou should really teach them a lesson. Why aren't you sticking to your guns? Be tough!

"Love Follows The Clock": Don't such school leaders need to be dealt with? Are they deliberately lying?

"Night Raid on Widow Village": Upstairs, don't just talk about school leaders, the leaders of the local education system have also been dealt with. Did you not see that at all?

"Wandering Freely": It really was life imprisonment! For such a little beast, a heavy sentence is absolutely necessary. So vicious at such a young age, I can't even imagine what he'll become when he grows up...

Similar comments emerged endlessly, and everyone's only feeling about this video was satisfaction!

Truly satisfying. Lawyer Zhou, through one case, clearly addressed three issues: "broken surveillance," "campus bullying," and "schools not taking responsibility."

It also made many netizens realize that we don't just have the Law on the Protection of Minors; there are many laws and regulations for preventing juvenile delinquency.

It's just that few people pay attention to them normally, so whenever a problem arises, the blame is always directed at the Law on the Protection of Minors...

After enjoying the satisfaction, everyone started spreading rumors.

See? I told you Zhou Yun really likes to send people in. This time it was life imprisonment, so what's next, the death penalty?

Admit it, Lawyer Zhou, stop pretending. Just admit that you like sending people in; no one will mock you.

At Zhentian Law Firm, Zhou Yun looked at these comments with helplessness. Alas, he thought, in this day and age, proving one's innocence is truly difficult.

As time passed, Zhou Yun's case continued to ferment, and its popularity grew higher and higher.

Some law professors directly brought the case into their classrooms, wanting students to experience this mode of thinking.

At the Lawyers Association, Old Zhuang had already decided to include this case as one of the Lawyers Association's training cases.

Thus, on the third day, the Jiangdong Province Procuratorate released a new batch of typical cases, and the case where this juvenile gang was identified as an evil force was prominently among them!

Zhu Haoxuan felt a bit sour. He admitted that Zhou Yun was destined for Zhengtian, but he was very sour about this typical case.

Meanwhile, at the Fengxian County Procuratorate, Chen Yinghe had also finished watching the video. Although she was an insider, she couldn't help but sigh after watching the video, remarking that Lawyer Zhou had done a truly excellent job this time.

Anyway, if she were to go out and become a lawyer, she certainly couldn't achieve this level.

Guo Zihao returned to school, but not in Fengxian County; he followed Guo Xitian to Jinghai City.

He also saw the video now and hadn't expected Lawyer Zhou to have done so much work.

However, thinking about it, it was normal. He was originally facing jail time, but not only was he acquitted, he also received a large sum in compensation, and the school recently made an emergency additional payment.

It can be said that Zhou Yun's actions left an extremely deep impression on him, making him determined to become a lawyer in the future and to help others like Lawyer Zhou.

Wu Xinhao, who loved bullying others, received life imprisonment. Guo Zihao, who was bullied, started studying hard. Everyone had a bright future.

.........

At Zhentian Law Firm, Zhou Yun discovered a case that interested him, a particularly typical case of work-related injury.

Moreover, after he finished reading the information sent by the other party, the system had already activated a mission!

Since System Dad liked it so much, he would reluctantly take on this case!
