Lawyer's character

"Oh, I understand. It seems that the lawyer profession not only requires skills, but also connections, and more importantly, people's character. It depends on whether the ancestor will reward him or not." Li Shuming had a look of understanding on his face.

"Well, when I was studying for a Ph.D., one of my classmates decided to become a teacher in school after careful consideration. He had a boring personality and was not very good at dealing with people. He couldn't be a lawyer." Fang Yi interjected.

"Well, you just take a bath and I won't disturb you." Li Shuming stood up and left the bathroom.

"Old Huang, if you didn't come out back then, would you be able to live a decent life now? All your colleagues should have been promoted!" Ma Yi said casually.

"Well, many people have been promoted, the highest to the department level." Huang Yuan said.

"Okay, Lao Huang. I've never heard of you saying that there is such a hard way! Let's make a date someday and let's get to know each other." Ma Yi pushed Huang Yuan and said.

"This matter is not easy to handle." Huang Yuanchao said in a pretentious manner.

"If there's any difficulty, you can choose any hotel in the city. I'll make the reservation. I still don't believe it..." Ma Yi said with a look of dissatisfaction.

"They have come up with it, but the Prison Administration Bureau doesn't agree!" Huang Yuanchao glanced sideways at Ma Yi and said.

"Prison Management Bureau..." Ma Yi was stunned.

"If I hadn't become a lawyer back then, I would probably have to squat in there now. The country's anti-corruption campaign is about catching every thread, and no one can escape!" After Huang Yuanchao finished speaking, he submerged his head in the water.

"Wocao, it's a high-risk industry!" Ma Yi looked at Fang Yi in disbelief.

At around ten o'clock, Huang Yuanchao put on his clothes and went home. When he went to the front desk to check out, he was told that Mr. Li had paid the bill. Li Shuming thought Huang Yuanchao and Ma Yi were interesting and enthusiastic about answering questions, so he said hello to the girl at the front desk and gave Fang Yi's two friends free of charge.

Not long after, Zhou Guang's case was decided. Fang Yi drove to the county court to pick up the judgment, and then sent the judgment to Zhouzhuang Village and handed it to Zhou Junshan.

"Lawyer Fang, the court sentenced my father to six years in prison. Is my father going to be sent to prison now? Can I visit him now?" Zhou Junshan asked.

"The judgment has not yet taken effect. According to the law, your father's criminal judgment needs to be reported to the Supreme Court for approval step by step. Your father will not be sent to prison until it is approved.

However, I think six years in prison is still a bit long. Are you considering appealing? "Fang Yi said.

"How much more will it cost to appeal?" Zhou Junshan asked after a moment of silence.

"The second trial lawyer's fee is 10,000 yuan." Fang Yi said.

When Zhou Junshan heard that he wanted 10,000 yuan, he lost his mind and looked at Director Zhou aside.

Ten thousand yuan is not a small number. Although Zhou Junshan's family has no worries about food and drink, it may be a bit difficult to pay for it with real money. His mother is still in the hospital and has just paid the second hospitalization fee.

"Lawyer Fang, let's discuss it and then send you a letter. Let's eat first," Director Zhou said.

Fang Yi understands the Fang family's difficulties and can only do this for now.

On the last day of the appeal period, Fang Yi called the judge. The judge told Fang Yi that the procuratorate did not protest and the defendant did not file an appeal. The court was ready to report the case to the Supreme Court step by step.

To be honest, Fang Yi really felt that the county court's sentence against Zhou Guang was a bit too harsh, but the client didn't want to appeal, so there was nothing he could do.

The weather in May is already hot. Cao Xiaohui is getting busier and busier and has no time to care about her son Fang Anzhi. Fang Yi likes to take Xiaozhi back to the village when he has nothing to do. The air in the village is good and the temperature is lower, making it comfortable to live there.

On this day, Fang Yi came to the 10th Tribunal of the District Court. Today was the opening day of the Yang Xu rape case. Yang Xu's father, Yang Baoshan, did not come to listen, not because he did not care about his son, but because this was a rape case, involving personal privacy, and the court did not hear it in public. Sitting opposite Fang Yi were two young female prosecutors.

"... We believe that the defendant Yang Xu brought the victim Xu Min to the hotel with the intention of having sex with the victim against her will, but the victim covered her lower body and resisted, causing the defendant Yang Xu to fail. The behavior of the defendant Yang Xu It has violated the provisions of Article 236 of the Criminal Law and constitutes the crime of rape.

In view of the defendant's attempted rape, in accordance with Article 23 of the Criminal Law, we recommend that the defendant be sentenced to three years in prison. complete! "The female prosecutor said.

(Article 236 of the Criminal Law, "Whoever rapes a woman by violence, coercion or other means shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years."

Article 23 of the "Criminal Law" states, "A crime that has already been committed but fails to succeed due to reasons other than the will of the criminal is an attempted crime. For attempted offenders, the punishment may be lighter or reduced compared to the completed offender.")

Fang Yi had previously gone to the procuratorate to communicate with the prosecutor about the case. Although the prosecutor recognized most of Fang Yi's opinions, the two parties had different opinions on whether Yang Xu's behavior was an attempt or an abort. The prosecutor insisted that Yang Xu's behavior was an attempt, so the indictment was based on the recommended sentence for the attempt.

"Defendant Yang Xu, did you hear clearly the indictment just read out by the prosecutor? Do you have any objection to the charges and criminal facts charged in the indictment?" asked the presiding judge.

"I heard clearly, I have objections. I did not attempt rape, I gave up voluntarily, and my behavior should be considered a crime cessation." Yang Xu argued.

During the previous meeting, Fang Yi explained to him the difference between attempted rape and aborted rape, and also explained the defense plan. Yang Xu was a smart man, and he naturally knew what to do without Fang Yi saying anything in particular.

"The public prosecutor can interrogate the defendant regarding the criminal facts charged in the indictment," the presiding judge said.

"Defendant Yang Xu, did you bring the victim Xu Min to the hotel?" the female prosecutor asked.

"Yes." Yang Xu said.

"What state were you two in at that time?" the female prosecutor then asked.

"We drank a lot at the bar, but our consciousness was still clear." Yang Xu said.

"What did you do after entering the hotel room?" the female prosecutor asked.

"I wanted to be intimate with her, but she refused. Then I pushed her down and jumped on her... (100 words omitted here)" Yang Xu recounted the situation at that time, which was similar to what he had told Fang Yi before. no difference.

"If you recall again, did she protect the lower part of her body first and you couldn't force her, so you gave up?" the female prosecutor asked.

"Objection! Presiding judge, the prosecutor's questions are misleading and the defendant has the right to refuse to answer." Fang Yi said immediately without waiting for Yang Xu to speak.

"Prosecutor, pay attention to how you ask questions. The defendant has the right to refuse to answer this question." The presiding judge frowned.

"Okay, I've finished asking my questions." The female prosecutor looked unconvinced and glanced at Fang Yi.

"Does the defendant's defender need to ask questions to the defendant?" the presiding judge asked.

"I need to ask a question." Fang Yi said.
