Lawyer's character

Before the trial, Fang Yi carefully considered Cheng Wu's sentencing recommendations. If the victim Hua Cheng had not died, Fang Yi could have fought not to prosecute or be exempted from criminal punishment. But now that the victim Hua Cheng committed suicide, it was impossible for Cheng Wu not to be sentenced. So Fang Yi thought twice and suggested that the court give Cheng Wu a life sentence. Wu was suspended.

…

After the court adjourned, Fang Yi began to pack up the case files on the table. His heart was still hanging, wondering what the collegial panel would decide. Also feeling uneasy was Li Hua, who was sitting in the gallery. She was in a panic, wondering if the judge would change the sentence.

Ten minutes later, the collegiate judge entered the court.

"The court will continue now and ask the bailiff to bring the appellant Cheng Wu to court.

The collegial panel has reached a verdict after deliberation in this case. 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 made the following comments:

The appellant Cheng Wu intimidated others, causing them to commit suicide. The circumstances were egregious and his behavior constituted the crime of provocation. After he was brought to justice, he truthfully confessed his crime, which was a confession and could be given a lighter punishment according to law.

The facts identified in the original judgment were basically clear and the evidence was indeed sufficient, but the characterization was inappropriate and should be corrected in accordance with the law. According to the law, the crime of picking quarrels and provoking troubles shall be punished by fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years, criminal detention or surveillance. Taking into account the criminal facts and consequences of this case, as well as Cheng Wu’s sentencing circumstances, the verdict is as follows:

1. The main text of the criminal judgment of the original court is revoked: Defendant Cheng Wu was guilty of illegal detention and sentenced to three years in prison.

2. The appellant (defendant in the original trial) Cheng Wu was guilty of picking quarrels and provoking trouble and was sentenced to one year and six months in prison. "

Although the result of the verdict was quite different from the sentence recommended by Fang Yi, it was within Fang Yi's expectation. After all, the victim's death had a certain relationship with Cheng Wu, and it was difficult for the court to impose a suspended sentence.

Li Hua in the auditorium had complicated eyes and kept mumbling: One year and six months...

Although this sentence was not what she wanted, it was half the sentence sentenced by the court of first instance, so it was not in vain to appeal.

When Fang Yi walked out of the court, Li Hua was standing in the corridor. When he saw him coming out, he immediately went to greet him.

"Lawyer Fang, I heard that there is a retrial procedure. If Cheng Wu applies for retrial, will Cheng Wu still have a chance..." Li Hua stared at Fang Yi and said.

“I personally think there is little hope of applying for retrial.

In addition, the sentence of one and a half years, after deducting the more than three months he was previously detained, will still serve about one year and three months. If he behaves better, I am afraid that Cheng Wu will have been sentenced before the results of the retrial are announced. Released.

Of course, this is my suggestion, if you want to try it..." Fang Yi thought for a while and said.

After listening to Fang Yi's words, Li Hua gave up completely: "I understand. Thank you, Lawyer Fang."

Sitting in the car, Fang Yi took out his mobile phone, dialed Bai Hai's number, and told him the verdict. Bai Hai actually didn't have much hope for the second trial. When he learned that Cheng Wu's case had been commuted to one year and six months, he was moved. In his opinion, this result was already very good. After all, the victim was dead. Not likely to go to jail.

One day in mid-July, Hua Liancheng was reading documents in the cool office when Wan Kefa walked in.

"Lao Hua, the result of Lawyer Zhao's criminal case has come out!" Wan Kefa said with a smile.

Hua Liancheng reluctantly took out a copy of the judgment and threw it to him: "Read it yourself!"

"Hahaha, how about it? I told you, pay for it, old man!" Wan Kefa looked at Hua Liancheng with a smile.

"Tch, the birthday boy is old and useless! How old are you, and he still looks at money every day? Here you go!" With that, Hua Liancheng threw out an envelope.

Wan Kefa took the envelope and went out with a smile.

As soon as Fang Yi came back from visiting the detention center, he was called into the office by Wan Kefa.

"Lawyer Fang, this is for you." Wan Kefa handed a red envelope to Fang Yi: "Don't be too little, two thousand yuan. This is the case research fee given by Hua Liancheng.

In addition, the litigation department is going to have a buffet tonight. It’s the same buffet as last time. I have to go there. "Wan Kefa is in a good mood.

"Boss, is there any happy event? Why did you think of treating everyone to a buffet?" Fang Yi said with a smile.

"I'm not treating everyone to the buffet, it's Director Hua. Do you remember the case seminar we attended last time?" Wan Kefa asked.

"Is it the poisoning case in that village? Has the verdict been reached?" Fang Yi asked.

"Well, the defendant Zhou Yue'e was sentenced to a suspended death sentence. God's evil can be forgiven, but man's evil cannot survive!

Forget about her, Director Hua was in a good mood today and specially paid for a meal. "Wanke Dharma.

Fang Yi was stunned. Does Director Hua just throw money around when he's in a good mood? What the hell is this! He didn't believe the fat old man's statement at all. The fat old man must have dug a hole for Director Hua. He might have gotten the money from somewhere.

This morning, Fang Yi was staring at the business group waiting to receive a case, when suddenly his cell phone rang. The call was from Peng Huayan. Peng Huayan had not contacted Fang Yi since the last case of her husband Zou Qiang was closed. This sudden call made Fang Yi feel a little surprised and didn't know what she was doing.

"Hello, Ms. Peng." Fang Yi said after answering the phone.

"Hello, Lawyer Fang. Please tell me, are you free in the evening? I would like to treat you to a meal, and I have something to ask you." Peng Huayan's gentle voice came from the phone.

Peng Huayan is beautiful. That kind of beauty is not only beautiful in appearance, not only symmetrical in figure, but also beautiful from the inside out. That kind of beauty is supported by connotation, which is completely different from the beauty in the world. It's easy to leave a good impression on others, especially men. So Fang Yi had a deep impression on her, but that was all.

"There are no plans for the evening." Fang Yi said.

"Okay, let's meet at the International Building at seven o'clock in the evening for Tan's cuisine. See you there!" Peng Huayan said.

After putting down the phone, Fang Yi picked up the tea cup and was about to go to the tea room when he saw the door of the director's office opened and Zhou Ying walked over quickly.

"Lawyer Fang, the boss invites you." Zhou Ying said with a smile.

Fang Yi was startled, immediately put down his teacup, and followed Zhou Ying to the director's office.

"Boss, Lawyer Fang is here." Zhou Ying said.

Fang Yi found that in addition to the fat old man and Xiao Zhou, Lawyer Qian was also in the office.

Lawyer Qian's name is Qian Wen, female, 27 years old. Looking at Wenwen's frail appearance, she has been working in the litigation department since graduating from college. She started as a trainee lawyer and later became a full-time lawyer. She thought that her ability was limited and she could not handle big cases. , I don’t want to bear too much case pressure, so my daily work mainly focuses on small cases and legal aid cases.

Lawyer Qian Wen is well-known within the team and is dubbed as a lawyer who is “professionally dedicated” to legal aid cases. There are two more legal aid lawyers like Lawyer Qian in the litigation department. In Wankefa’s view, both large cases and small cases must be handled by lawyers, so that the team can make full use of its own resources.
