Why didn't Dream Pigeon apologize?
Li Tianyi's alleged rape victim finally has a voice. Just as the case was transferred to the procuratorate for examination and prosecution, the victim's mother told the media that Li Tianyi's family never apologized and compensated them. At the same time, it is reported that Li Tianyi's defense lawyer resigned, because Li Tianyi's fucking demands are too high, and lawyers may find it impossible. On the one hand, they never apologized to the victim for compensation, on the other hand, the defense lawyer resigned, which profoundly explained the attitude of Li Tianyi's family towards the gang rape case, that is, Dream Pigeon did not think that Li Tianyi constituted rape, and they were prepared to engage in an innocent confrontation and asked the lawyer to plead not guilty. If Dream Pigeon apologizes to the victim for compensation, it will undoubtedly admit to the society that Li Tianyi did gang rape the victim with others. If gang rape is established, the knowledge of only one victim will not have much influence on mitigating Li Tianyi's crime. Moreover, there are too many doubts in this case, and it may cause great obstacles to the defense to apologize and compensate rashly before seeing all the evidence. It is estimated that the defense lawyer resigned because Li Tianyi's family asked the lawyer to disclose the case, for example, Li Tianyi didn't think it was rape, and then slowly warmed up in the media to win public opinion, but the lawyer felt that the risk was great. The people in Li Tianyi's case are almost one-sided, and a lawyer's carelessness will ruin this case. Like Yao Jiaxin's case, Li Tian's case is largely a public opinion trial. The biggest failure of Yao Jiaxin's defense is that Yao Jiaxin's family and defense lawyers do nothing in front of public opinion, and even avoid public opinion. When the facts are basically conclusive and there is no possibility of innocence, they have hardly worked for any victim's family. At that time, the highest judicial organ was determined to save Yao Jiaxin's life, but the people denounced it. The supreme law at that time was extremely abnormal and inconsistent. Since the public security organ transferred the case to the procuratorate for review and prosecution according to the crime of rape, it shows that the public security organ thinks that the evidence of Li Tianyi's alleged rape is basically conclusive. If Li Tianyi's family insists that rape is not established, it will definitely be a gripping judicial drama. The case of Li Tianyi should become the first major case since the implementation of the new criminal procedure law. Of course, for the prosecution, I think the most important thing is the confession of Li Tianyi and other suspects, but there are still too many uncertain factors whether this confession can stand the cross-examination in court and whether it can confront so many doubts in this case. In this case, there are many tests to the new criminal procedure law, such as the identification of the defendant's confession by the witness in court, and so on. Apart from the interference of public opinion, this case may not be led by the Political and Legal Committee like other political cases, and the judge may be relatively independent and a relatively clean specimen. It is of great significance to test the social enlightenment education team of judicial organs and promote the maturity of social rationality. Regardless of whether Li Tianyi's final rape case is convicted or not, if Li Tianyi's final judgment on the alleged rape case is made in strict accordance with the evidence and the law, it will be a victory of the law. If the final judgment is that the law obeys public opinion, then the judiciary will be raped again, and its severity far exceeds the rape case itself, such as Yao Jiaxin's case; Some cases may not be accepted by people now, but in a few years, ten years or even decades, when we look back at such judgments, we will be sincerely gratified by the persistence of the judges at that time, and hope that the final judgment of the court can stand the test of history. Of course, this is also a test for criminal defense lawyers. In the eyes of real criminal defense lawyers, there is no distinction between good guys and bad guys, only superb professionalism and courage!
