Lawyer's character

As soon as they got to work in the afternoon, Geng Zhen and Li Mingbo walked into the law firm with their briefcases. In the morning, they went to the county court below for a hearing.

After putting down his briefcase, Geng Zhen glanced at Meng Guangda's workstation. Meng Guangda was not at his workstation, and Yuwendong not far away was reading the case file.

"Yuwen, where is Brother Da?" Geng Zhen walked up to Yuwendong and asked.

"He went to the detention center. Yesterday he took a case of selling Y. He took Sui Xia to meet him." Yu Wendong put down the case file, raised his head and smiled: "Is something wrong?"

"Well, it's actually nothing serious." Geng Zhen said, pulling up a chair and sitting next to Yu Wendong: "Do you still remember the intentional homicide case we discussed before?"

"You're talking about the case of abandoning the sick daughter, right? Remember, it was sentenced?" Yu Wendong's eyes were full of curiosity.

"Well, Lawyer Li and I went to the court in the morning. The presiding judge pronounced the verdict in court. Chi Yunfa was sentenced to four years, and his lover Qi Renxia was sentenced to two years." Geng Zhen said.

The county court held that the defendants Chi Yunfa and Qi Renxia illegally deprived others of their lives by abandoning a five-day-old baby girl deep in the mountains and wild forests, and their actions constituted intentional homicide. The facts alleged by the public prosecution were clear, the evidence was reliable and sufficient, and the charges were found guilty.

The two defendants committed a joint crime. In the process of committing the crime of intentional homicide, they failed to succeed due to reasons other than their will. This is an attempted crime, and they may be given a lighter or reduced punishment compared to the completed crime.

The two defendants had a good attitude in pleading guilty during the trial and showed remorse, so they may be given a lighter punishment as appropriate. Accordingly, the county court sentenced Chi Yunfa to four years in prison and Qi Renxia to two years in prison for intentional homicide.

After the verdict of the first instance was pronounced, the two defendants did not appeal, and the prosecutor's office did not protest.

"The defendant Qi Renxia should be breastfeeding, right? How will the judgment be carried out?" Yu Wendong thought for a moment and asked suddenly.

"Article 265 of the Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that criminals sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment or criminal detention may be temporarily served outside prison if they are pregnant or breastfeeding their own babies," Geng Zhen said.

"Qi Renxia can save a few months of squatting in there. The actual time in there may only be a little more than a year." Yu Wendong nodded.

"Well, the collegial panel's opinion is consistent with Da Ge's. We have made a plea of ​​lesser crime... I would like to treat you to dinner tonight." Geng Zhen nodded and whispered.

It is very necessary to have a good relationship with colleagues in Fang Yi's team. Although litigation lawyers mainly rely on personal abilities and work alone, it would be better if there is help from a team, because not all cases are good at you.

Geng Zhen had this consideration in mind, but the main purpose of his treat was to thank Meng Guangda. People can contribute selflessly, but those who benefit should not take it for granted. They should show it when it is time to show it.

"I'll tell Master and see what he means. Actually, you don't have to be so polite." Yuwendong smiled. He didn't dare to make decisions for his master.

Geng Zhen smiled: "Okay, I'll wait for your news." After saying that, he got up and walked to his work station.

…

In the detention center, Meng Guangda looked at Hu Huai across from him and listened to his account of the incident. Hu Huai is a short and fat man, about forty years old, slightly bald, with a dark face, and his eyes keep turning around when talking.

"Lawyer Meng, what I told is the truth. Really, the conscience of heaven and earth, I only introduced you four times in total. It's that simple." Hu Huai said with a curse.

"How many ladies are there in total?" Meng Guangda asked.

"There were only two of them. The first girl, Lao Gao, disliked her for being too tall and too thin, so I didn't call her again. The second girl was chubby and suited him very well, so I called her for the next three times. She." Hu Huai had a slick look on his face, and it seemed that this was not the first time he had come in. He didn't know how many times he had entered the palace.

"Do you know the girl's name?" Meng Guangda asked.

"I don't know. There are a few people in this business who tell their real names, either Lili or Shasha. None of them are true." Hu Huai shook his head.

"Are you familiar with them?" Meng Guangda asked.

"I'm not familiar with them, it's okay. I used to deal with them when I was fooling around in society. So we all know each other," Hu Huai said.

"Do you charge them?" Meng Guangda asked.

Sui Xia listened and recorded.

"Take it... take it a little bit." Hu Huai hesitated.

"How much is one point?" Meng Guangda asked.

"One hundred yuan per time, introduction fee. You can't do the introduction business in vain. I didn't ask for it, they proposed it." Hu Huai replied.

"Have you ever introduced her to others? I mean the lady." Meng Guangda asked.

The reason why he asked this was because he suspected that Hu Huai organized the young lady to do the work. If that was the case, the nature would have completely changed, and it would not be a simple introduction to selling sex.

According to the provisions of Article 358 of the Criminal Law, whoever organizes others to sell sex shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than ten years, and shall also be fined; if the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years or life imprisonment and shall also be fined. money or confiscation of property.

The crime of organizing the sale of Y is a felony compared to the crime of introducing the sale of Y. The minimum penalty is five years, and the maximum sentence is life.

"No, absolutely not. I have my own business, and I don't expect it to make money. How could I introduce it to others? If I didn't want to cooperate with Lao Gao, how could I do such a thing. I am a serious businessman." Hu Huai said seriously .

Looking at Hu Huai's expression, Sui Xia almost laughed out loud. A serious businessman, is he so serious? ! It felt awkward to hear these words coming from Hu Huai's mouth.

Although Meng Guangda didn't believe what he said, there was no need to dig deeper. After all, the other party was his client.

"Lawyer Meng, does this count as a crime?" Hu Huai asked.

"Introduction more than two times constitutes a crime, but fortunately, you introduced me four times in total, not ten times, so it is not considered serious." Meng Guangda explained.

"What happens if the circumstances are serious?" Hu Huai asked after hesitation.

"More than five years in prison, with a minimum of five years!" Meng Guangda replied.

"Ah! What about my case? How long will the sentence be?" Hu Huai asked anxiously.

“It’s hard to say, the key is we don’t know how much material the police have.

Your case is currently in the investigation stage. We cannot see the case file, so we can only give you these answers. Only after the case file is transferred to the procuratorate for review and prosecution will we be able to look at the case file and make a judgment only then.

But in your case, the probability is less than five years. "Meng Guangda explained.

"Less than five years..." Hu Huai's eyes rolled around, not knowing what he was planning. (End of chapter)
