Dong Tam: The opinion of three policemen ‘turning the building into a funeral building’

Lawyer Nguyen Van Pcs, who defended the rights of several defendants in Dong Tam, said the protection of the interests of the three policemen who died on the morning of September 10 lacked legality and turned the trial into a funeral home. .

Speaking to BBC News in Vietnamese after the morning court session, attorney Nguyen Van Tham commented:

“Act. Act too. Act for trial, it’s tragic. What we need is legal though.”

Attorney Pieces reported:

“The trial on the morning of September 10 focused mainly on the defense of lawyer Nguyen Hong Bach for ‘injured’ that three policemen died.”

“But today the Trial Panel (Panel) allows the victim’s attorney to take away the tears of so many people. Instead of simply protecting the civil rights of the three police officers who died, the Panel to represent the law. The victim’s monk, Mr. Le Hong Bach, recounted the charges against the accused and spoke about the pain of the soldiers in a very sensual way that brought their families to tears during the defense. “

“The lawyers defending the defendants had several people standing up to protest, but the Panel did not allow it.”

“The families of the three policemen attended the trial from the beginning. They went to court, in general, they just cried and didn’t say much.”

“The defense, protecting the rights of the victim (three policemen) of Mr. Nguyen Hong Bach lasted about half an hour.”

“He forgot his role as a lawyer, so he seemed to have sided with the Prosecutor’s Office (VKS) to accuse the accused and reprimand, criticize the lawyers who defend the accused, as well as raise the merits of the accused. victim.”

“It cannot be denied that the victims died, but when the mourning reopened, the death was described, the convalescence certificate was reread. [với những mô tả] like ‘bare bones’ then ‘amputated hands’, etc., making the families of the victims cry and making the audience of the case look like a funeral home. “

“What we need is the legal aspect. Criminally, the accusations of the accused are VKS and have the court, sentences and laws. The victim only cares about the civil side, he is demanding. But when asking for compensation, the victim does not say it clearly, but in a very general way, he only says according to the provisions of the law, so it is not clear how much the court will punish the accused. money.”

Meanwhile, the Labor newspaper quoted lawyer Nguyen Hong Bach, who claimed in court that “the three sacrificed policemen were on duty according to the assigned 419A plan” and that there was no need to experiment with the crime scene. trial for “bringing pain to a relative.”

Bach said, “Can we reconstruct such a brutal murder? Who dared to step into that hole, let someone else refuel?”

During the rest of the morning of September 10, the Prosecutor’s Office responded to the problems raised by the lawyers. Then the lawyer questioned again. Then the victim’s agent said a few words.

“But with the defendants, the Trial Panel (Panel) said nothing more because they thought they had already presented everything before. The defense of the attorney for the 29 defendants was stripped,” he added.

“The Panel seems to want to finish in the morning, it presses on time, it does not seem to want VKS to respond to the lawyer because the Panel says ‘it is clear’, ‘it is already in the indictment'”.

“While the VKS should have discussed with the same parties that the lawyers recommended, such as returning files for further investigation of deficiencies, requesting field experiments, requesting protection plans. Safety and order for the Mieu Mon airport construction work. from Hanoi police, whether there are plans to attack Mr. Kinh’s home or not, but the Panel said “it is clear,” lawyer Piece told the BBC.

According to lawyer Nguyen Van Piece, the color issue only revolves around the deaths of three policemen, but it has not yet been clarified.

This is the part that has caused a lot of controversy and discussion on social media forums. Lawyers also requested at the scene several times to clarify the cause of death.

“More recently, Mr. Ha Huy Son has published a copy of the gasoline burning procedure, how much fuel will need to burn, in an area how much to burn. The falling police hole is too small. So the amount of gasoline that the investigating investigator delivered, said that it had been poured into the well, three policemen could not be burned, as the forensic document said.

“With such a small hole, 4 m high, lack of oxygen, it will not burn if you pour gasoline. Suffocation may be true, but burning charcoal is not possible. That is why we recommend the experiment. scene ”

However, the court tends not to return the case to re-investigate, it does not process the shooting of Mr. Kinh as the lawyers propose, but it will always sentence.

“Depending on the case, the court can go down a little bit or a little bit more in special cases,” said attorney Piece.

Lawyer Ha Huy Son also posted the “Gasoline Burning Chemical Equation” on his personal Facebook on 9/9. He wrote:

“According to the previous equation, for each mole of gasoline 9.5 moles of oxygen are required, which for each mole under ideal gas conditions (1 to 25oC) is ~ 25 liters, 9.5 moles is equivalent to 235 liters”.

“Since the proportion of oxygen in the air is 1/5, it takes ~ 1.2 m3 of air to burn 1 mole of gasoline (86 g).”

“The skylight between Mr. Hoi’s house and Mr. Chuc has dimensions (0.76 mx 1.45 mx 4 m) and contains 4.408 m3 of air, which is enough to burn the 367 g of gasoline, 0.750 of density equivalent to about 0.625 liters. Only 0.625 liters of gasoline were burned, the 03 police could not be charred. “

“Because the well is closed, gasoline that is poured into ‘many pots’ can only evaporate and burn at the wellhead, but not in the well. It’s like a popular game. The open flame creates a flame, but the mouth of the sprayer does not burn. Because there is no oxygen in its mouth. “

“So, with the refueling scenario presented in the indictment, there will be a huge column of fire in the well, 03 policemen falling into the well are simply suffocating and cannot be charred. Because there is not enough oxygen to burn.” . “

“Before working as a lawyer, I worked in the Petrolimex oil industry for almost 20 years, so I understood about oil. In 1988, Mr. Truong Dinh Tuyen was then CEO signed to accept me at Vietnam Petroleum Corporation.”

Meanwhile, the conclusion of an investigation by the Hanoi police wrote that Mr. Le Dinh Chuc “took a can of gasoline and poured it into the container”, and “used a tank to pour gasoline 3-5 times into the well. , he poured it every 3-5 minutes. once … “

Regarding the possibility of reducing the death penalty for Mr. Le Dinh Cong and Le Dinh Chuc as proposed by the VKS on 9/9, lawyer Nguyen Van Tham said: “Difficult”.

“Because the court says it is ‘clear’, and does not give more defenses to the accused.”

The panel announced on the afternoon of September 10 that the defendants would have the last word, then they would deliberate and pronounce the sentence. It is not clear how to deliberate and pronounce the sentence on the afternoon of September 10 or how. They usually declare it after deliberation. However, in this case there are many defendants, it is not known in advance “, said the lawyer Piece.
