Chapter 122: One-Armed Boy He Guang! Is There No Normal Person in the Welfare Home?
The presiding judge Gong Sunhui picked up the material again.
Said to Miao Luping.
“Below, I will confirm this to you based on the materials submitted by the plaintiff.”
"You just have to answer yes or no."
Gongsun Hui asked.
"On the 23rd of last month, did you call the "Changhong District Legal Aid Center" for help? "
Miao Luping remained silent.
Gongsun Hui asked again.
"During the phone call, did you disclose to the staff at the assistance center that you were abused by the "Jingtian District Love Welfare Home"? "
Miao Luping still said nothing.
But there was some change in the look in her eyes.
She glanced furtively at the dock with an extremely frightened look.
It seemed as if there was something particularly scary to her.
Gongsun Hui continued to ask patiently.
"Miao Luping, have you ever been abused by nursing staff or other staff in the welfare home, or in any form of abuse?"
"If yes, please describe the specific situation at that time, including the specific time, place, the person who abused you, the method of abuse, etc.!"
Gongsun Hui finished asking this question.
Miao Luping seemed to be trapped in memories.
Some expressions of panic, fear, and pain began to appear on his face.
Slowly, Miao Luping slowly opened her mouth.
She said in an extremely small voice.
"I...they...I..."
Miao Luping's voice was too soft.
So that no one could hear what she said.
But seeing Miao Luping speak for the first time, the presiding judge Gong Sunhui quickly asked again.
"Miao Luping, please speak louder!"
"Please tell me loudly, did anyone bully you in the orphanage? How did they bully you? Also, who was the person who bullied you?"
"Don't worry, we are the court, and we will represent the Xia State officials and bring those who bully you to justice!"
Miao Luping subconsciously glanced at the dock again with fearful eyes.
At this time, Wei Li, the director of the welfare home, was staring at her.
He noticed Miao Luping's furtive gaze.
Wei Li gave her a serious look.
That familiar and cold gaze made Miao Luping feel extremely frightened.
She said shaking her head tremblingly.
"I...I don't know! I don't know!..."
Obviously, this is a failure.
The audience at the scene broke into a cold sweat.
It is indeed unreliable to ask a mentally ill person to testify!
The presiding judge Gong Sunhui no longer had the patience to continue asking questions.
He turned to face the plaintiff's bench and said.
"Plaintiff, I think your witness Miao Luping may not be suitable to testify in court."
"Judging from her current performance, it is very likely that she is in the period of illness and cannot make effective proof."
"In order to maintain the court's work efficiency and avoid wasting time, I recommend that Ms. Miao Luping's witness qualifications be terminated."
In response, Lin Hao responded.
"Judging from Ms. Miao Luping's current situation, she is indeed unable to provide effective proof."
"However, we do not agree with the statement that Miao Luping is in the period of illness."
"Miao Luping clearly showed panic and fear during the question session just now."
"We believe that someone put pressure on Ms. Miao Luping on the spot and used disguised intimidation and intimidation against her."
"It makes Ms. Miao Luping unable to muster the courage to expose the shameful crimes of the orphanage!"
When Lin Hao said this, Shao Yuan, the office director of the welfare home, became anxious.
He immediately stood up and said.
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Everyone has seen what happened just now. How could anyone threaten him?"
"She's obviously sick! You're obviously just messing around!"
Shao Yuan's reckless behavior made the presiding judge Gong Sunhui's face darken.
Gongsun Hui banged the gavel and said seriously.
"quiet!"
"Defendant Shao Yuan, this is the court. Do I allow you to interrupt others?"
"Ignoring court discipline, speaking without authorization, disrupting the order of the court, I will give you a stern warning! You won't do it again!"
“Please continue speaking, plaintiff’s lawyer!”
The presiding judge gave this warning.
Only then did Shao Yuan realize that he had not paid attention to the occasion.
Unexpectedly, I have been cautious all my life.
Now he's in trouble in court.
He actually became frustrated because of his impatience.
Wei Li, the director of the orphanage beside him, also criticized in a low voice.
"Director Shao, do you think this is an orphanage?"
"What does it look like to be so frivolous in front of the judge?"
"Hurry up and sit down for me!"
"When it's time to speak, Lawyer Shen will naturally say, is there any need for you to add superfluous words here?"
Received a warning from the presiding judge and criticism from the dean.
Shao Yuan has become honest since then.
He lowered his head and sat on the chair submissively.
Don't dare to say a word anymore.
On the plaintiff's bench.
Lin Hao continued.
"Also, as early as May 16 last year, Ms. Miao Luping called the police, and there is police record as evidence."
"Although the police did not find any problems at the time, this at least proved that Miao Luping had asked for help many times."
"So we believe that although Miao Luping cannot provide strong testimony for the time being, the possibility of being abused cannot be ruled out."
"Therefore, there is no doubt that Ms. Miao Luping is still one of the key witnesses in this case."
"However, we also agree with what the presiding judge just said, to ensure the efficiency of the court's work and avoid wasting time."
"So our opinion is to keep witness No. 1 Miao Luping in court."
"First, witness No. 2 He Guang will be summoned to appear in court to testify."
The presiding judge Gongsun Hui thought for a moment and then said.
"I agree with the plaintiff's lawyer."
"The plaintiff's witness No. 2, He Guang, is summoned to appear in court to testify!"
One minute later.
The bailiff appeared in the courtroom with a one-armed little boy.
It caused the audience to scream in surprise.
Netizens in the online live broadcast room couldn't help but discuss it.
"Oh my god! Isn't this a code? Protect the privacy of minors!"
"I don't know, maybe it was with the consent of the person or guardian? But this is too scary!"
"Why are all the witnesses today like this? They are mentally ill and disabled children, so none of them are normal?"
"Who in the right mind goes to an orphanage! Don't you know? The orphanages only take in orphaned elderly people and disabled orphans!"
"Is that so? Doesn't that mean they don't even have any family members who occasionally visit them?"
"Huh? If I'm being bullied, there won't even be anyone who can help me!"
"The elderly in nursing homes all have family members, so they will inevitably be bullied. Those without family members are even more afraid to think about it!"
"Stop talking, stop talking, I can't listen anymore! I'm getting goosebumps!"
"…………"
The scene of the trial.
He Guang, who has spent a long time with the elderly in the welfare home.
First time on this occasion.
It was also the first time that so many people stared at me.
It was obvious he was uncomfortable.
On the judgment seat.
the presiding judge asked.
"Witness He Guang, as a minor, you are originally a person with limited capacity for civil conduct."
"But in view of the actual circumstances of this case, this court authorizes you to appear in court to testify."
"But I must remind you that you will bear the corresponding legal consequences for every word you say in court."
"Do you understand?"
The one-armed boy He Guang is obviously timid.
But after taking a look at Lin Hao, he still mustered up the courage to speak.
"I...I understand!"
"I will take responsibility for what I say!"
