The prosecution's first round of accusations and evidence presented a huge difficulty for Zhang Wei.
At this moment, many of the 12 jurors were looking at Old Tan with hostility in their eyes.
They believed that it was Old Tan who kept pulling the cleaning company manager away to smoke, preventing him from supervising the cleaning work properly, leading to ineffective cleaning, which caused the fire.
Guilty!
Old Tan was directly linked to the fire.
At the defense's table.
Old Tan panicked.
"Lawyer Zhang, when I urged people to smoke, it was all about social niceties. Besides, how long does smoking a cigarette take? They'd still continue working after finishing, right?"
Old Tan quickly defended himself; he felt wronged.
Isn't it a basic operation for businesspeople nowadays to hand out cigarettes to everyone they meet?
Zhang Wei didn't smoke, but he understood the custom.
