Lawyer's character

In the morning, Fang Yi was sitting in front of his workstation drinking tea when Wan Kefa called him into the office via WeChat.

"Mr. Wu's brother's case has been done well. Mr. Wu has already called me. After receiving the criminal judgment, make a copy to Zhou Ying. I have already told her that she will upload this case to the legal system as a successful case. Our website." Wan Kefa said with a smile while sitting at the tea table.

After speaking, he placed a cup of freshly brewed tea in front of Fang Yi.

Promotion on the law firm's website would be of great benefit to him, so Fang Yi would naturally not refuse.

During this period of time, the fat old man has been tinkering with his tea leaves. If he has nothing to do, he will drink tea at the tea table and practice tea art. And basically I go to Yunwu Tea House every week and bring back a lot of tea.

Fang Yi looked at the tea cans and tea boxes placed aside and guessed that it must have cost a lot of money. The old guy was really willing to invest!

"There is a case for you, do you want to take it? It's a legal aid case. The lawyer's fee is two thousand yuan." Wan Kefa said casually while playing with the purple clay pot in his hand.

"Legal aid case?" Fang Yi was startled. Legal aid cases were handled by lawyers, so why were they looking for him?

"Yes, Qian Wen is depressed and is still undergoing treatment. I don't even dare to show her this case, for fear of aggravating her condition. The other two legal aid lawyers are relatively reluctant to this case, and the other lawyers in the team are busy , don’t answer.

This case was assigned to us by the Legal Aid Center. We have accepted it and we cannot return it. So..." Wan Kefa looked at Fang Yi, which means that no one will take this case, so you can only take it. Although he didn't say it clearly, Fang Yi understood what he meant.

"Okay, I'll take it, but I have a request. There are too many forms to fill out and things to write in the legal aid case, which is too troublesome. You have to find someone to help me with the desk work." Fang Yi thought for a while and said.

I didn't take this case for money, but for Wan Kefa's face. Now that the fat old man has come to the door, it's not appropriate to push back. In Mr. Wu's previous case, the introduction fee was confiscated, so this favor must be returned. So even if he doesn't pay for this case, he still has to do it.

"No problem, I'll ask Zhou Ying to cooperate with you on the reported documents. However, this case has a relatively large impact on the local area, so you must be mentally prepared." Wan Kefa reminded.

"What case?" Fang Yi asked.

"Intentional injury causing death." Wan Kefa said.

"Oh, what kind of case did I think it was? I have taken on this kind of cases a lot. No problem." Fang Yi leaned back on the chair and picked up the teacup with a relaxed expression.

Wan Kefa stopped what he was doing, raised his head and looked at him: "The defendant killed his father!"

After the words fell, Fang Yi squirted out a sip of tea, looking straight at Wan Kefa, speechless for a moment and not knowing what to say.

"I suggest you never go to the place where the incident occurred. The defendant's behavior has aroused public outrage! The whole village and his relatives are asking the court to deal with it strictly and must sentence him to death. Death is not enough for the public to be angry!

Let me tell you, it's a matter of procedure anyway. You might as well communicate with the presiding judge and then just mail a defense opinion to the court! "Wan Kefa was really afraid that Fang Yi would go to the scene and come back injured.

"So serious!" Fang Yi blinked.

"Well, that's quite serious. You'll understand when you see it. In the 1990s, I took on a legal aid criminal case, which was similar to this case. When I came out after the court session, someone threw bricks and bricks at me. Shitai, look at my forehead, I still have a scar, it took six stitches." Wan Kefa lifted the hair on his forehead, revealing a scar. Although it is very shallow, you can still see it if you look closely.

"Wocao, so dangerous!" Fang Yi became timid. The purpose of making money is to improve your life and make yourself live a better life, but when it comes to the courts being filled with stones and bricks... this is probably not a good thing. You don't have to risk your life for a single case.

"So you have to pay attention to safety!" Wan Kefa said.

"If I get hit by a brick, will it be considered a work-related injury?" Fang Yi suddenly asked.

"What..., drink tea!" Wan Kefa immediately changed the subject.

Not long after Fang Yi went out, Huang Yuanchao slipped in and smiled at Wan Kefa: "How about it? Is it done?"

"He took it! Is this your idea?" Wan Kefa looked at him doubtfully.

"What is hype? This is hype. If you don't speculate, you won't become popular!

As the saying goes, 'Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.' If he wants to quickly spread his fame, he has to have some scandal. No, it can't be called a scandal, it should be called negative news.

And this negative news must not damage his image as a lawyer and the image of our law firm, but it must also make his peers feel that he did the right thing, and let the common people know him deeply..." Huang Yuanchao said with a smile.

"Okay! Let's try it first. No one is willing to take this case anyway." Wan Kefa said.

Two days later, Fang Yi drove to the detention center early in the morning to meet with the defendant who had caused public outrage by killing his father.

The day before, when Fang Yi was communicating with the court to review the case, he asked if he could not appear in court and only provide written defense opinions. After the judge was silent for a moment, he still suggested that he appear in court to participate in the trial. Procedural fairness and notarization are still needed. If the lawyer Not being there would be a shame.

have to! It’s not okay if I don’t go back this time.

The defendant Feng Tao, who was sitting on the other side of the partition, was wearing a detention center vest, with an unshaven beard, a pair of fierce eyes, and an expression that made Fang Yi very disgusted.

"Don't you just want to know how I killed him? I'll tell you everything, so stop working around. The whole village wants me to die, and you can't save me at all." Feng Tao raised his face half-way, He pointed his nostrils at Fang Yi.

"I didn't want to save you at all, and I don't have the ability. I just wanted to understand the facts and let you get a fair trial." Fang Yi said coldly.

"Tch! Don't talk to me about fairness and notarization. I'm drunk now, and I'll be happy every day." Feng Tao looked at Fang Yi with squinting eyes, his attitude was quite arrogant.

"Okay. Your lifestyle has nothing to do with me. Can you tell me what happened?" Fang Yi said expressionlessly. At this time, he just wanted to complete the interview as soon as possible. When he saw such a person, he felt sick in his heart.

"I am the only one in our family, and the two old guys are useless. They can neither make money nor do much work..." Feng Tao started to tell the story of the case with an unrepentant expression on his face.

The defendant Feng Tao's family lived in a remote village. He did not study well when he was a child and dropped out of elementary school. Because he was too young to go out to work, he could only farm with his parents at home.

As time went by, he felt too tired to go to the ground, so he fortunately lay down on his back, and began to gnaw at his old age in the village, becoming a well-known lazy man in the village. His parents worked day and night, and the money they earned still couldn't meet his daily expenses.

Gradually, he complained about why his parents didn't work hard to earn a family fortune for him. What he envied most was the rich second generation.

As time passed, resentment began to take root in his heart, and he beat and scolded his parents. Later, his father suffered from cerebral thrombosis and was unable to move. He was unable to work in the fields. The burden of the whole family fell on his mother.

Not only the family's income dropped sharply, but his father also spent a lot of money on medical treatment. The family owed a lot of foreign debt, which made him even more dissatisfied with his parents. He often hit his mother harshly, and later beat her until she couldn't even sleep. Dare to go home.

Three months ago, Feng Tao drank some alcohol and went crazy. He beat his father who had difficulty moving due to cerebral thrombosis at home. His father was beaten until he cried. Later, the neighbors couldn't bear it anymore and went to find the village director. Only then did he stop him.

A few days later, Feng Tao came back from drinking outside. He didn't like his father who was basking in the sun in the yard. He punched and kicked him again, knocking his father to the ground and causing multiple injuries on his body.

Later, the neighbor found the village director again. When the village director led people to his home, Feng Tao's father was already dying. After the ambulance arrived, his father was taken to the hospital for rescue, but he was no longer breathing when he arrived at the hospital.

When the village director saw that Feng Tao's father was beaten to death, he immediately called the police.

After a forensic autopsy, his father suffered extensive subcutaneous and intermuscular bleeding on both sides of his chest, multiple and multi-segment fractures of his ribs on both sides, and extensive contusion of his left lung, which resulted in his death from traumatic and painful shock complicated by dyspnea.

After that, the police arrested Feng Tao and brought him to justice. After the prosecutor reviewed the prosecution, he filed a public prosecution in the court and transferred the case file to the Intermediate Court.

After listening to Feng Tao's narration, Fang Yi subconsciously touched the cigarettes in his pocket. Suddenly he remembered that smoking was not allowed in the detention center, so he had to take back his hand: "Don't you regret it? You did this."

"What do you regret? You have to be free and unrestrained in your life. Just like those two old guys, you have to work hard all year round with your face turned to the loess and your back to the sky. Whatever you can get, you will only have enough food and clothing in the end. What's the point of living like this all your life." Feng Tao said. He said with a mouthful.

Fang Yi finally saw that the guy in front of him was hopeless.

After walking out of the detention center, he came to the car, lit a cigarette, and calmed down. If the law stipulated that beating someone to death was not illegal, he really wanted to pull out Feng Tao and beat him up. What a damn thing!

Nonetheless, he still has to prepare his defense for trial. Even if the defendant is heinous, he still has to perform his duties as a lawyer. It seems that being scolded this time is unavoidable, but fortunately the trial is held in the Intermediate Court, not a local public trial, so there should be no flying bricks or stones.

A week later, Feng Tao's case went to court.

The auditorium at the court hearing was full of people, and judging by their clothing, they must be folks from the village. The prosecutor accused Feng Tao of intentional injury, and the intentional injury caused the death of his father, so he should be severely punished.

The prosecutor spoke with great indignation, and the crowd in the gallery below became excited. If there were not more than a dozen judicial police officers guarding the scene, they would probably collectively support the prosecutor. In that case, the court would not be able to continue, and if the judge's gavel flew away, it would probably not be of much use.

Fang Yi really couldn't find anything that could be defended, so he defended Feng Tao on the grounds that he took the initiative to confess and give an honest account after he was brought to justice. In fact, he didn't want to find a point of defense in his heart.

Everyone in the auditorium saw Fang Yi defending Feng Tao. His little eyes swept across Fang Yi's face one by one, making Fang Yi feel uncomfortable. If eyes could kill, he would probably be dead by now without even a trace of his scum left. .

This court is so uncomfortable!

After finally completing the procedure, Fang Yi signed the transcript and hailed a black car with his mobile phone. After the car arrived outside the court gate, he left the court in a hurry. Just as he quickly walked out of the court gate, less than 20 meters away from the black car, and thought everything was fine, something suddenly flew from the sky and hit him on the head with a bang. He stretched out his hand and touched it. It was a rotten egg. It disgusted him.

Immediately afterwards, someone shouted: "He is the defense lawyer, don't let him run away!"

Fang Yi was so frightened that he ran away. He had no choice but to stop the flying objects and ran straight to the black car on the roadside. When the driver of the black car saw this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly turned the wheel and ran away!

The driver of the black car muttered while driving: "My car is new. Is it easy to run a job? I can't let it be damaged."

Just when Fang Yi was standing on the roadside and wanted to scold her, an S-Class Mercedes-Benz stopped nearby and the door opened: "Old Fang, get in the car quickly." It was Lao Huang who spoke.

Fang Yi got into the car. Before the door was closed, the Mercedes-Benz drove out. A group of people behind were yelling, and you didn't have to listen to know that they were cursing the lawyer.

When the guard at the court gate saw it, he shrank his neck in fright and kept thinking about Amitabha. Fortunately, it happened outside the court gate, otherwise he would have been busy.

"It's so scary! I was almost cut into pieces by these people." Fang Yi said with fear.

"Why are you here?" Fang Yi looked at Lao Huang and Ma Yi who were driving, and asked in surprise.

"If I say we caught up by chance, would you believe it?" Ma Yi said while driving.

"Believe me! How could such a coincidence happen?" Fang Yi's heart was beating violently: "But I really want to thank you two brothers. I almost couldn't go back."

"It's useless to talk less. The boss asked us to pick you up at the entrance of the court. We have been here a long time ago and haven't seen you come out.

I really didn’t expect that the crowd would welcome you so much. What’s that scratch on your head? It can’t be shit, right? "Old Huang covered his nose and laughed.

"This is a rotten egg. It's called a stinky one. I don't know where these people bought expired eggs. Ma Yi, I'm not going back to the office anymore. I'm going directly to Huihuang. I have to wash myself up. I'm covered in rotten eggs. At least I'll be beaten." It hit more than a dozen places." Fang Yi said while holding back his nausea.

"Okay, you'll pay me for the car wash later. I have to wash my car. There are seven or eight rotten eggs on the front of the car and more on the back. It makes me sick. This is my new Mercedes-Benz." Ma Yi said distressedly.

"By the way, how was the case decided in the end?" Huang Yuanchao asked.

"The verdict is passed. The court held that Feng Tao beat his father who had cerebral thrombosis and had difficulty moving, causing his father's death. His behavior constituted the crime of intentional injury and should be punished in accordance with the law. Finally, the defendant Feng Tao was sentenced to death for the crime of intentional injury and deprived of political rights for life. .

After the verdict was announced, the guy refused and wanted to appeal. Anyway, I don’t care about the appeal, just represent whoever you like, I will only do the first instance. Good guy, your big crotch almost ran away from me. "Fang Yi complained.

After the verdict of the first instance was pronounced, Feng Tao filed an appeal. After hearing the case, the Provincial Higher People's Court ruled to reject the appeal, upheld the original judgment, and submitted it to the Supreme People's Court for approval in accordance with the law.

The Supreme People's Court approved Feng Tao's death sentence after review in accordance with the law. In the end, the criminal Feng Tao was executed. Of course, this is all for later.

After Fang Yi entered the glory, he went straight to the bathhouse and met Li Shuming in the lobby.

"Old Fang, why are you here in broad daylight? Why are you so free today?" Li Shuming said with a smile.

In his opinion, Fang Yi, who has always been devoted to his job, should be at work. How could he achieve glory?

"It's hard to say anything. I'll take a shower first and then chat with you." Fang Yi didn't dare to delay and went straight in.

"Wocao, what does this smell like? You can just come here, why do you bring chemical weapons! It stinks!" Fang Yi passed by him, and Li Shuming immediately asked about the smell of rotten eggs and frowned.
