Lawyer's character

Chapter 384: Motivated by money

After hearing what Fang Yi said, Shen Guilin felt that the middle-aged male lawyer in front of him was indeed more professional than the lawyer he hired before, and his explanation was very clear. However, his heart felt cold. He felt that the second trial of his son's case was pending, and there was even a possibility that To give up the idea of ​​commissioning.

"I read the judgment of the first instance. The court of first instance did not mention whether your son's crime was a completed crime or an attempted crime. The court of first instance should have uniformly handled the case as completed, so there is still a chance for this case." Fang Yi said.

"What do attempted and accomplished mean?" Shen Guilin asked with a confused look on his face.

It was the first time for him to hear many of the professional words Fang Yi said. It felt like he was listening to a book from heaven and he didn't know what they meant.

"To put it simply, it means whether your son took away the battery of the electric car in the end. If he took it away, it was a success. If he didn't take it away, it was an attempt." Fang Yi thought for a while and said.

Fang Yi could only answer Shen Guilin's questions in the simplest, most straightforward, and least French way, because only in this way could Shen Guilin understand.

Fang Yi knows that when communicating with clients, many lawyers like to make excuses and speak some French and French to make the clients feel professional and profound. In fact, for the clients, the lawyer's answers are like talking to each other, and both parties are basically talking to each other. They were not on the same channel, wasted half a day, and made the parties involved feel confused.

In fact, the efficiency of such communication is very low. Fang Yi is very resistant to communicating with clients in this way. The clients the lawyer encounters come from all walks of life, including insiders and elderly people who have only attended "literacy classes" for a few days.

In Fang Yi's view, the best way to communicate effectively is to answer the questions raised by the other party in a language that the other party can understand. It doesn't matter even if you speak in plain English, because the goal of everything is to make the parties understand and understand. , only in this way can we spend the least communication cost and achieve the best communication effect.

To put it bluntly, it means that the lawyer will say what he wants to say to whomever he wants to meet. This is definitely not a derogatory meaning, but it shows that the lawyer has great communication skills and can be on the same page with various parties.

"My son definitely did not take away the battery of the electric bicycle. It is also written in the court ruling." Shen Guilin understood what Fang Yi meant and said hurriedly.

"So I say there is hope for your son's second trial. According to the provisions of Article 23 of the Criminal Law, attempted offenders can be given a lighter or reduced punishment than accomplished offenders. I can defend Shen Hu in a lighter crime." Fang Yidao.

"Then how many years will my son be sentenced?" Shen Guilin asked.

"I can't say this, but if the defense is successful, the sentence will be shorter than the current sentence. But your son has committed robbery, which cannot be changed." Fang Yi said.

"Well, I understand. Let's count the few years of squatting as a few years! Who told him to steal from others when he doesn't live up to his expectations? Lawyer Fang, my son depends on you." Shen Guilin said.

"Well, I will do my best. The signature and fingerprint on the entrustment procedure are all yours, right?" Fang Yi asked. This is his habit. As long as the entrustment procedures are not signed in front of him, he will ask about it.

Criminal cases are no more risky than civil cases. Entrustment procedures are the basis for lawyers to handle criminal cases. They must not be careless. There have been lawyers who have failed when signing the entrustment procedures for criminal cases. This is the experience gained by the blood and tears of colleagues. .

"I signed it and pressed my fingerprints." Shen Guilin confirmed.

After sending Shen Guilin away, Fang Yi began to make appointments at the detention center and the court. He was going to meet with Shen Hu, and then go to the court to review the case and verify the case. What the parties said was only his side of the story and should not be fully believed, let alone misled.

The next morning, Fang Yi went to the detention center. As his name suggests, Shen Hu had a tiger-like head and a strong body. He was twenty years old and like his father Shen Guilin, he was also short in stature and had fingers as big as sticks.

"Shen Hu, please describe the situation at the time of the crime. The more detailed you are, the better." Fang Yi picked up the pen and said.

"Well, I had dinner with a group of friends that night. After the meal, I found that the battery of the electric bicycle was almost out of power..." Shen Hu recounted the incident that night.

That night, after riding for a while, Shen Hu found that the battery was almost out of power. He looked around and saw the bicycle parking lot next to the train station. He remembered that there was a place to charge the battery, so he pushed the electric bike there to charge it. .

During the process of charging, he saw that no one was watching around him and there were electric bicycles around him, so he made a wrong idea.

He had bought his electric bicycle for several years. The battery was old and he had to recharge it after a short period of riding. When he saw new electric bicycles around, he wanted to catch someone unawares and steal a battery to put in his own electric bicycle.

He walked around the parking lot and spotted the battery of an electric bike that was the same as his own. It was already late at night, there were fewer people on the road, and there were fewer people riding in the parking lot.

After the battery was fully charged, he rode to a nearby friend's house, borrowed tools, and came to the parking lot again to start disassembling the battery. Just as he struggled to remove the battery, he was about to put it on the pedals of his electric car and escape. A security guard rushed over with a rubber baton and a walkie-talkie, shouting.

It turns out that there is surveillance in the parking lot. The security guard on duty just now has been playing games without looking at the surveillance. Just when Shen Hu was about to succeed, the security guard's phone ran out of battery and he had to stop the game. He looked up and scanned the surveillance and found out immediately. Shen Hu, so in desperation, the security guard rushed out with a walkie-talkie and a rubber stick.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Hu ran away on his bicycle, but the security card was stuck at the exit. Shen Hu was hit by a rubber stick, and the electric bike fell to the ground. He and the security guard fought.

Shen Hu was young and strong. In a hurry, he kicked the security guard down. He didn't want his electric bike anymore, turned around and ran away. As a result, as soon as he ran not far away, he was caught by the patrol that came after hearing the news.

"Hey! I drank some wine at that time, and when I saw the money, I went to steal it when my head was hot. If I had known that this day would happen, I would have been scolded by the security guard. Maybe I would have been fine just by buying two cigarettes." Shen Hu said with regret on his face.

"Have you ever been dealt with before? I mean sentenced." Fang Yi asked.

"No. This is the first time I've been here since I've grown up. Who would want to come here if there's nothing wrong with me? Being locked up in the room all day long and being stared at by others is like being a third grandson, with no freedom at all." Shen Hu said regretfully.

"How much is the battery you stole worth? Do you know?" Fang Yi asked.

"I know, the police told me, it's worth 150 yuan." Shen Hu said.

"Where was the battery when you escaped?" Fang Yi asked.

"On the pedals of my bicycle, I was only focused on escaping. The electric bicycle and the battery I stole were thrown in the parking lot. I escaped by climbing over the fence." Shen Hu said.

"Well, is there anything you need to say to your father? I can tell your father." Fang Yi said.

Shen Hu's eyes flashed, he hesitated for a moment and said, "No!"
