Lawyer's character

Chapter 334 Lawyer Fang, there’s something wrong with my dad’s case!

"Please present the fourth piece of evidence to the prosecutor," the presiding judge said.

"The fourth piece of evidence, the investigation report of the crime scene, proves that the defendant and the victim did not have a sexual relationship. The defendant's behavior constituted attempted rape." said the female prosecutor.

"Defendant Yang Xu, do you have any objections to the fourth piece of evidence?" the presiding judge asked, rolling his eyelids.

"No objection." Yang Xu said.

"Does the defendant's defender have any objections to this evidence?" the presiding judge asked.

"The defender recognized this evidence. The investigation report of the crime scene showed that the defendant Yang Xu's penis, secretions, etc. were not found at the crime scene, which was sufficient evidence to prove that Yang Xu had taken off his pants, thus confirming the indictment's finding that Yang Xu had taken off his pants. The fact that Xu took off his pants and wanted to forcibly have sexual intercourse with the victim is wrong, and the victim’s statement is not credible. The defendant Yang Xu did less harm to the victim’s sexual rights,” Fang Yidao said.

"Please continue to present evidence, prosecutor." The presiding judge listened and wrote something quickly with the pen in his hand.

"...the District People's Procuratorate prosecuted the case of defendant Yang Xu suspected of rape. After a hearing, this collegial panel conducted court investigations and court debates, and listened to the prosecutor's accusations, the defendant's opinions, and the defendant's defense and statement. and the defense opinions of the defender, and the court hearing ended.

The court will now be adjourned for ten minutes. After deliberations, the collegial panel will pronounce the verdict. Take the defendant out of the courtroom. "After the presiding judge finished speaking, the gavel fell, and the collegial panel members exited the court.

Ten minutes later, the collegiate judge entered the court again.

"... This case has been reviewed by the collegial panel and a verdict has been formed. In response to the opinions of both the prosecution and the defense, combined with the focus of the dispute in this case, and based on the facts and evidence of this case, this court has made the following verdict: The defendant Yang Xu is guilty of rape. In view of his initiative to stop the crime For this act, the defendant Yang Xu is sentenced to six months in prison," the presiding judge said.

After the verdict was announced, Fang Yi saw that Yang Xu's reaction was not that strong. He felt that he had already accepted the sentence. Yang Xu had already been in the detention center for more than three months of the six-month sentence. After the discount, there would be another sentence. He will be released from prison in more than two months.

After walking out of the court, Fang Yi sat in the car and took out his cell phone to call Mr. Yang and told him the verdict.

"Lawyer Fang, thank you so much. Six months! My son will be out in just over two months. Thank you! Thank you very much!"

Although Mr. Yang loves his son, he is also a sensible person. His son has committed the crime of rape. It is impossible to get out without spending a day in jail. The court sentenced Yang Xu to six months in prison. Within the period that he can accept, So he has nothing to complain about.

"Okay, I'll give you a call when the court's criminal judgment comes out in a few days. But this is a first-instance judgment, and it depends on whether the procuratorate will protest. If not, the judgment will take effect after the appeal period has passed, and it will take more than two months. Yang Xu will be able to come out." After explaining, Fang Yi let out a sigh of relief, the case was finally closed.

Just when Fang Yi was about to return to the law firm and continue to fight for cases in the business group, Zhou Junshan called him.

"Lawyer Fang, there's something wrong with my dad's case!" Zhou Junshan said urgently after the call was connected.

"Ah! What happened?" Fang Yi's heart skipped a beat.

"The judge said that after my dad's case was reported to the Provincial High Court, it was not approved and was dismissed." Zhou Junshan said anxiously.

"Oh? Don't worry, I'll call the judge and ask." Fang Yi said.

"Lawyer Fang, will you be at the firm tomorrow? Director Zhou and I will go over to see you." Zhou Junshan asked.

"I'm here, I don't have any plans for tomorrow, so come over." Fang Yi said.

At 10:30 the next morning, Zhou Junshan and Director Zhou walked into the conference room of Wanhua United Law Firm again.

"Lawyer Fang, my dad's case was sent back to the Intermediate People's Court for retrial by the Provincial High Court. Will it be detrimental to my dad?" Zhou Junshan looked at Fang Yi opposite and asked.

To be honest, Fang Yi didn't expect Zhou Guang's case to be sent back for retrial, so after he received Zhou Junshan's call, he immediately called the county court. When I was about to get off work in the evening, the phone was finally connected. The judge told Fang Yijing that the provincial higher people's court had made a criminal ruling and designated the city's intermediate court to retry the case in accordance with the first instance procedure. He was not too clear about the specific circumstances. , the case file has been transferred to the Municipal Intermediate Court.

“In your father’s case, the procuratorate did not protest, and your father did not appeal. According to common sense, the provincial high court will generally not remand the case for retrial.

I speculate that the Provincial High Court may have some thoughts on this case and feel that the positive aspects outweigh the negative aspects, which may be a good thing. Since the Provincial High Court has designated the Intermediate People's Court to rehear the case in accordance with the first-instance procedure, I think you don't need to worry. You should wait for the Intermediate People's Court to notify you first, and then communicate with them to see what they say. "Fang Yi reassured.

"Lawyer Fang, I am very anxious and want to entrust you to defend my father again. You know the details of this case, so I still trust you more." Zhou Junshan made eye contact with Director Zhou and then said.

"No problem. I'll prepare the entrustment procedures right away." Fang Yi said.

"Lawyer Fang, the legal fees..." Director Zhou said anxiously when Zhou Junshan didn't mention the legal fees.

"Well, our team's minimum charge is 10,000 yuan. Mr. Zhou's family is in trouble. I'll talk to the director and see if I can get a discount. You two can wait a moment." After Fang Yi finished speaking, he left the conference room. Went downstairs.

"Junshan, why didn't you mention the legal fees just now? If Lawyer Fang brings over the contract, will you sign it?" Director Zhou scolded with a depressed look.

Zhou Junshan smiled awkwardly: "I was just talking and forgot about it."

In Wan Kefa's office downstairs, Fang Yi explained the situation of Zhou Junshan's family and asked, "Can we get a discount on this case?"

If Zhou Guang's case was the source of Fang Yi's own case, he could make the decision and give any discount. But this case is the source of the case in the office, and Fang Yi can't make the decision, so whether or not to give a discount, and how much to give, must seek the boss's opinion.

Wan Kefa took a sip of tea and said, "What's your opinion?"

"I think the Zhou family is indeed in a difficult situation. This time, it will be re-tried according to the first-instance procedure. I know all the facts of the case, and the court is held in the city. How about we charge 5,000 yuan in legal fees?" Fang Yi asked tentatively.

"Well, yes, let's do it this way. Let Zhou Ying run the program on the system, she knows how to do it. But in this case, your withdrawal will only be based on five thousand yuan!" Wan Kefa said.

If the team’s legal fees are less than 10,000 yuan when negotiating the case and signing the contract, the team will give the attorney a commission based on the standard of 10,000 yuan. Of course, this rarely happens. In most cases, it is to maintain old customers. The team will provide The losses will be made up in other services provided by old customers, and overall there will be no losses.
