Refers to a police officer who used a baton in front of the defendant
The defense lawyer revealed in court that according to CCTV footage, the defendant was surrounded by a team of police officers including the police officer X involved, and some police officers waved batons up and down in front of the defendant. The defense has repeatedly asked the police for the identity and record book of the police officers of the team. The police said that they could not determine who the police officers were, and asked the defense to explain why the information was needed, so the defense made another application in court. .
The prosecution stated that the situation was chaotic
The prosecutor rebutted that the situation was chaotic on the day, and there were many police officers. The footage alone may not be able to confirm who these police officers are. Magistrate Lin Ziqin once suggested that the defense should ask for the team involved in X. The defense stated that it was not possible to confirm that all the police officers involved belonged to the first team in the Xiumaoping Heavy Case Group. Lin Guan finally required the prosecution to hand over the relevant information within 4 weeks.
The prosecution claimed that a police officer was taken off after testifying

Even if the high court has issued an injunction, the situation cannot be controlled.

The defense stated that the incident occurred before the high court ban
The defense accused the party of saying too general, and there was no evidence to prove that X was frightened, and it failed to show how many online bottoms were directed against the police officers who gave testimony. One thing happened before the injunction issued by the High Court. In fact, since the high court issued the injunction, the bottom-up incidents have been significantly reduced. The defense believes that the court should consider the public's right to know and should not restrict freedom of editing.
Officer Lin also said that someone on the Internet alone had ordered some police officers to hide the name of the person involved in the case. The approach was not commensurate, so the case was adjourned until June 19 when it was called again to make a decision ; The defendant may continue to bail out under the original conditions.
