The Justice 宣判 Episode 29

When the trial was held again, the local Environmental Protection Bureau was also named as a defendant. The third-party water quality appraisal hired by the court did find that metal cadmium was found in the water pipes, so the sewage was still toxic. Therefore, the Environmental Protection Bureau has obvious negligence in its duties. Now not only the chemical plants have to compensate the sick patients, but the Environmental Protection Bureau also has joint liability for compensation.

The statement read out the defense statement and did not believe that the chemical factory was at fault. It repeatedly emphasized that the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau's testing was valid and proved that the chemical plant did not illegally discharge and pollute local groundwater. The chemical factory and the Environmental Protection Bureau's defense statements unanimously expressed their dissatisfaction with the indictment. I am innocent. Public interest lawyer Zhu Liming was extremely indignant after hearing this. He stated in court that based on the water quality samples he had obtained, it could be proved that there was a large amount of cadmium in the water discharged from the chemical plant. Moreover, technicians of the sewage equipment had tested the machinery of the chemical plant and found that it was only running However, the continuous operation will not exceed twenty hours. So far, the chemical plant has been operating locally for more than six years, and the operation time is less than one day, which is enough to prove that it is usually discharged naked without any treatment facilities.

The defendant’s agent proposed that he had new evidence to prove that the illness of local villagers had nothing to do with the chemical plant. According to the law, evidence provided after the time limit is not recognized. The defendant’s agent insisted that the evidence he obtained was of great importance and was relevant to this case. Direct relationship. Qi Heng agreed with him to provide evidence. As a result, the defendant's agent took out a machine usage time detection form and said that the filtering machine was not used for twenty hours, but the operator did not know how to operate it and accidentally reset the data. Therefore, they The chemical factory also specially hired professional technicians to test, which can prove that the machine has been running for a long time.

In view of the emergence of new evidence that could not prove that the chemical plant did not use sewage purification equipment, the trial was finally adjourned by Qi Heng. Back in the office, Marathon was feeling angry. She didn't believe the statement at all. Qi Heng told her that as a law enforcement officer, you must believe in evidence and not rely solely on speculation. The case is still under investigation. I believe there will be new information in the next few days. clues generated.

Zhu Liming mentioned reliable news that in the days after the court filed the case, the chemical plant workshop was brightly lit and worked overtime for several days. During this period, Qin Houtu, the workshop director of the chemical plant, was hospitalized and seemed to be seriously injured. Zhu Liming went to the hospital specifically and heard the nurse say that Qin Houtu seemed to have been injured by a heavy object, and his lower body was completely paralyzed. He should have been hit by a pipe while digging a pipeline. Zhu Liming wanted Qin Houtu to testify in court, proving that the pipeline being tested was temporarily cut off and temporarily paved with quick-drying cement. Qin Houtu knew very well that a few days ago, people from the chemical plant sent him 100,000 yuan, saying that as long as he If they don't open their mouth or tell the outside world about the sewage discharge, the factory will reimburse their family's future living expenses and medical expenses.

Qin Houtu had no choice but to ask Zhu Liming. Zhu Liming had just said that as long as he could take the initiative to expose the factory's illegal discharge, he would work hard to recover the expenses for his injuries. But the reality is that as long as the factory is there, their family does not have to worry about the food and clothing expenses. If this makes Zhu Dawn chooses, which one he will choose. Zhu Liming was speechless. Between justice and life, these poor people could only choose one thing.

In a blink of an eye, the day of the trial came again. Zhu Liming thought Qin Houtu would not testify. To his surprise, Qin Houtu admitted that the factory rarely used sewage equipment. It had always been naked and discharged sewage directly into the river, so most of the villagers got sick.
