Lawyer's character

This morning, as soon as Fang Yi arrived at the law firm, Xie Youhe came over with a big teacup and smiled: "Do you remember the criminal case Liu Fang gave us last time? It was the one you returned."

"Did Li Daolin deliberately harm that case?" Fang Yi thought for a while and asked.

"Yes, it is the criminal case in which the defendant was sentenced to ten years in prison in the first instance. The second trial came out yesterday morning. It was just as you said. The second instance court upheld the original verdict.

Yesterday afternoon, the client came to the firm to find Liu Fang. They argued all afternoon. Finally, Liu Fang called Lawyer Zhao, who was co-handling the case, and wanted Lawyer Zhao to refund the fees together. Lawyer Zhao refused, and Liu Fang and Zhao The lawyer had a quarrel. "Xie Youhe whispered.

"How did you deal with it in the end?" Fang Yi asked.

"Refund the money! The person involved called a group of people and blocked Liu Fang in the conference room until the evening without giving her money and refusing to let her leave. It was useless to call the police. When the police came and saw that there was no trouble, they just wanted to explain themselves and didn't care at all. , showed his face and then went back.

In the end, there was nothing she could do, so Liu Fang paid for the legal fees herself. You were right not to take the case at that time, otherwise Lawyer Liu’s humanity would have dragged our team into the trap. "Xie Youhe said with a look of gloating on his face.

"How did Lawyer Zhao solve the problem?" Fang Yi asked next.

"In order to prevent her clients from being poached by other lawyers, Liu Fang always contacted her clients through a single line. She patted her breasts for others. Lawyer Zhao had never patted her breasts before and was just handling cases normally, so Lawyer Zhao was not afraid.

Now that the case has been completed, the client wants a refund. Lawyer Zhao is not afraid of this lawsuit no matter where it goes. Naturally, it is impossible to refund a penny to Liu Fang. "Xie Youhe said.

"Once this incident comes out, I'm afraid the lawyers in the firm will no longer cooperate with Liu Fang." Fang Yi sighed.

"It's hard to say this. As long as the benefits are big enough, Liu Fang can still find a lawyer to cooperate with. After all, not every lawyer is so upright or so afraid of risks.

There is a saying: If the woods are big enough, there will be any kind of bird. Many lawyers are like businessmen, willing to do anything as long as they have enough profits. There are more than one or two lawyers sentenced by the court every year! "Xie Youhe sneered.

During this period, Fang Yi has been studying Zeng Xueqin's case. He went to the Municipal Procuratorate to discuss the case with Inspector Xiao, who was in charge of the case. Inspector Xiao's opinions were generally consistent with Fang Yi's. Zeng Xueqin committed the crime of intentional injury, but In terms of sentencing, Prosecutor Xiao did not take a position. Fang Yi believed that the prosecutor would most likely recommend that Zeng Xueqin be sentenced to ten years in prison in accordance with the provisions of Article 234 of the Criminal Law.

After that, Fang Yi went to the Intermediate Court to check the case file. The facts of the case recorded in the case file and the evidence submitted were relatively simple, and were basically consistent with what Zeng Xueqin said when he met with him before. After Fang Yi finished writing his defense plan, he made an appointment to meet with Zeng Xueqin again at the detention center.

Time has entered winter in a flash, and the weather is extremely cold, but even so, there is no snow. A line of lawyers, both male and female, stood outside the gate of the detention center. They were all shrinking their necks from the cold, tightly wrapped in cotton coats, stamping their feet from time to time, sniffing and sniffing. The only means of heating was cigarettes.

Some experts said that this year will be a warm winter. It is estimated that if he went to the door of the detention center and shouted "warm winter", he would be beaten to death or scolded to death.

Lawyers who are able to do so sit in their cars and enjoy the warm air. They glance at the activities of lawyers in front of the detention center gate from a distance to determine whether the detention center door has been opened. They are always ready to carry their bags into the detention center.

Fang Yi arrived early and lined up outside the gate of the detention center. The northwest wind blew across his face like a knife from time to time. It was really cold. In less than half an hour, his face was already frozen.

The large iron door of the detention center finally opened wide, and the sound of the squeaking shaft under the large iron door sounded like the sound of nature, which immediately attracted the attention of all the lawyers.

In the interview room of the detention center, Fang Yi rubbed his fingers that were so cold that they were no longer flexible, and then looked at Zeng Xueqin opposite.

Fang Yi always thought that Mr. Zeng’s name was a good one. He studied hard for the sake of diligence. However, it was obvious that Mr. Zeng lived up to the name. He went out to work with his fellow villagers before graduating from junior high school. Later, after a lot of hard work, suffering a lot, and suffering a lot, I was able to gain a firm foothold in the fruit industry and earn my first pot of gold in life.

Mr. Zeng’s experience fully reflects the saying: A hero does not ask where he came from, but when he is rich, he should think about his origin. No one can achieve success without working hard (except for some second-generation people, of course).

"Brother, you and Lao Li are friends, and we are also friends. Let's put it this way, my case will be sentenced to a few years, just say it. I am mentally prepared." Zeng Xueqin's boss is very impressive, and at the same time mixed with a touch of Jianghu Qi gives people a feeling of being generous and righteous.

Fang Yi had a good impression of him and said seriously: "Mr. Zeng, I am going to plead guilty to a lesser crime for you. I have already read the case file. The main cause of Chen Zhihong's death was coronary heart disease, but your punch induced him to have a coronary heart disease." One of the reasons..."

Before he finished speaking, Zeng Xueqin interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Lawyer Fang, I believe in you. I'll do whatever you say. If I hadn't punched Lao Chen at that time, he wouldn't have chased me, and his coronary heart disease wouldn't have happened. So I accept this.

Although Lao Chen is my competitor and we don't get along in person, we still have some feelings after fighting for so many years. And it was indeed my wife who was at fault at the time, so I felt quite sorry for Lao Chen. Zeng Xueqin said seriously.

"Well, I have communicated with the procuratorate, and they have a firm attitude. They may recommend that the court sentences you to a prison sentence of more than ten years. But I will plead guilty and try to reduce the sentence." Fang Yi said.

"Okay, let's follow your plan." Zeng Xueqin nodded.

Zeng Xueqin's case went to trial the second week after Fang Yi's meeting.

Fang Yi walked into the door of the Intermediate People's Court and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The last time he came here was to defend Ding Dashan's crime of intentional injury. After a month, he walked into the courtroom of the Intermediate People's Court again to defend Zeng Xueqin's crime of intentional injury. , I hope there will be a good result this time.

In the Ninth Tribunal, there were three judges sitting on it. The female judge in the middle was the presiding judge. Fang Yi glanced at the prosecutor opposite. Prosecutor Xiao sat at the head.

Sitting in the auditorium was Zeng Xueqin's wife, Yuan Fang. She was still wearing makeup and powder, and the powder puff was too thick to tell what her expression was. There were many people sitting next to her, who might be Zeng Xueqin's friends. Someone from the Chen family also came, sitting quietly in the back. It is said that the Zeng family gave Chen Zhihong's family a lot of money, so the Chen family chose to settle the matter.

With the fall of the gavel, the trial officially began. Zeng Xueqin sat in the defendant's box with a very calm expression, the pride on his face remained unchanged, and he raised his head.

After the previous procedures were completed, the prosecutor began to read out the indictment.
