【新唐人2013年07月12日讯】李天一涉强奸案被北京法院受理后，李天一的两位新律师公开发表声明，指责警方与媒体侵权，并把案情主要诱因归结为酒吧。律师还表示将为李天一进行无罪辩护，这一消息招致了网上骂声一片。法律界则认为新律师的做法“不正常”、“不恰当”、“违背职业伦理”，而随着新律师的另一个身份曝光后，更有人怀疑律师的背后有权贵势力在操控此案。
李天一案的第三任律师陈枢在高调公开要为李天一做无罪辩护后，招致舆论强烈谴责，法律界也是反对声浪不断，拥有94万互联网粉丝的律师“袁裕来”在微博中发言，认为“如果李天一等人的行为已明显构成强奸罪，律师作无罪辩护就不符合职业伦理”。
另有律师认为，所谓“声明”和“无罪辩护”都是在转移大众视线。
广东律师唐荆陵：“因为大家一般都认为，它这个案子已经引起了广泛的公众愤怒的情况下，再提出一个更加激怒公众的一个辩护意见，一般人都认为他是很不明智的一个做法。真的也不排除，他可能是为了通过引起公众关注，结束大家对另外四个被告的身份关注。”
也有人认为，这是在为李天一以外的四名嫌犯脱罪做准备。
广东律师隋牧青：“包括李天一同案的那几个人，一直没有浮出水面，大家不知道那几个人是什么人。我们公众完全可以有理由相信，那几个人可能是比李天一更有背景的人，如果李天一能脱罪，那么其他几个人脱罪是顺理成章的，所以李天一就是一个公开的一个靶子。”
另外，有知情人爆料，李天一新律师王冉在2001年7月到2009年7月，曾经在北京市海淀区人民检察院工作。而李天一案恰好是海淀检察院提起公诉的。
《检察官法》明确规定，检察官从人民检察院离任后，不得担任原任职检察院办理案件的诉讼代理人或者辩护人。为的就是从根本上防止律师凭借特殊关系，影响司法人员公正执法。而王冉的身份一经曝光，引来了更多的质疑。
隋牧青：“我就觉得他这种策略肯定都是权贵集团为李天一他们这几个人准备脱罪的一个环节。实际关键的力量不在于律师，关键的力量都在于幕后，如果没有幕后的这种运作，律师多么优秀，也没法给人脱罪的。”
律师们指出，李天一“无罪辩护”成功率极低，除非受害者承认是自愿发生性关系，但据大陆媒体报导引用酒吧人员的证词说，女孩是被李天一等人灌的不省人事后被拉扯出酒吧带走的，事发第二天，女孩在未报警的情况下，先来到酒吧求助。酒吧人员回忆：“那天她来酒吧时，眼眶发青、发红，鼻梁处有瘀血，自称事发当晚被李某等人殴打，身上也有伤痕，手不停发抖，显得很惶恐。”
唐荆陵：“这个案子出来之后，网上有传出消息，说那个受害的女孩子反复收到恐吓，受到威胁，因为当初对案件的这个处理，已经引起民众很大的反感，就是当时关于案情的描述，所谓的‘先后发生性关系’，回避了‘轮奸、强奸’这些关键性的案件事实，所以现在律师做无罪辩护的话，恐怕要引起很大舆论的反弹。”
在李天一律师发布声明后，被害人杨女士的委托律师田参军回应，被害人杨女士看到声明后几近崩溃，痛不欲生，希望对方律师可以换位思考一下，如果本案的被害人是他的女性家人，还会为李某某做无罪辩护吗？
有专家指出，以目前中国的司法环境，李天一案如果舆论和媒体不介入和监督的话，恐怕很难得到公正的对待。

Looking Behind Li Tianyi’s Lawyer Innocence Defense
After the “Li Tianyi Rape Case” was accepted by the Beijing
court, two of Li’s lawyers published a statement accusing
the police and the media of infringement,
and attributed the major cause of the case to the bar.
Lawyers also filed a defense of innocent for Li which
aroused strong criticisms on the internet.
The legal profession believe that the new lawyer’s practice
is not normal, inappropriate and against professional ethics.
With another lawyer’s identity exposed, people even doubt
there are powerful forces behind the handling of the case.
The third lawyer of Li’s case, Chen Shu, publicly
announced he is going to do an innocence defense.
This created strongly critical public opinion.
The legal profession also has views against Yuan Yulai,
a lawyer with 940,000 internet fans.
They said on microblogg that “if Li’s behavior clearly was
rape, an innocence defense is against the professional ethics.”
Other lawyers believe that the so-called “announcement”
and “innocence defense” are to divert public attention.
Guangdong Lawyer Tang Jingling: “Usually people believe
it is not wise to bring up an action to drive widespread public
anger since this case has already aroused great public anger.
It is possible that the lawyer tried to divert public concern for
the four defendants’ identities by focusing on other things.”
Some people believe that this is the preparation
for acquittal of the four suspects other than Li.
Guangdong Lawyer Sui Muqing: “Those other suspects in the
case have never showed up. People wonder who they are.
We have reason to believe that those suspects have
a stronger part in the case than Li.
If Li could be forgiven, those other people could naturally
be forgiven as well, so Li is just an open target.”
Insiders also exposed that Li’s new lawyer Wang Ran
worked in Beijing Haidian District People’s Procuratorate from 2001 July to 2009 July.
Li’s case is brought by Haidian Procuratorate.
“Prosecutors Law" clearly states that once a prosecutor left the
People’s Procuratorate they cannot be a litigation agent or
counsel in former Procuratorate cases.
This is to fundamentally prevent lawyers using relationships
to affect the judiciary and impartial law enforcement.
Wang Ran’s identity’s exposure brought more questioning.
Sui Muqing: “I think this strategy is part of the link to help
Li and others get an acquittal.
The key force lies not in the lawyers, it lies in the background.
Without the operation behind the scene, no matter how
excellent the lawyer is, they are unable to be given acquittal.”
Lawyers pointed out that Li’s “innocence defense”
success rate is very low.
Except in the case that the victim admits that the
sexual relations are voluntary.
However, the bar staff testimony was
the girl was taken away,
pulled out of the bar after she was forced to
drink and became unconscious.
The next day, before the girl reported to the police,
she first came to the bar for help.
The bar staff recall: “That day she came to the bar, her eyes
were bruised, she had, a scar on the bridge of her nose;
She said she was beaten by Li and some others, she had scars
on her body and her hands shook. She looked very terrified.”
Tang Jingling: “After the case was known to the public, news
on the internet said that the victim was repeatedly threatened.
The original treatment for this case has attracted
a lot of public resentment,
because the description used was “had sexual relations”
and avoided using “rape, gang rape” which are the key facts of the case.
So now if the lawyer wants to use an innocence defense,
I am afraid it will arise great public criticism.”
After Li’s lawyer made the announcement,
Miss Yang’s lawyer Tian Canjun said that,
when Miss Yang saw the announcement,
she nearly collapsed.
Miss Yang hoped the defendants’ lawyer could
walk in her shoes;
If the victim was their female family member,
who will still use an innocence defense for Li?
Some experts pointed out that according to
China’s current judicial environment,
if media and public opinion do not interfere with
Li’s case, it will not be treated fairly.
