Lawyer's character

The trial lasted for more than four hours. At 1:40 p.m., the presiding judge announced an adjournment and ended the case. The presiding judge did not pronounce the verdict in court. Because Dou Tao was placed under surveillance in the first trial, Dou Tao was not detained during the second trial.

After the trial, the verdict had not been handed down. Dou Tao and his wife felt uneasy, wondering whether the second trial would change the verdict.

"Lawyer Fang, do you think this case can be changed?" Jiang Xue asked outside the court gate.

"The court did not pronounce the verdict in court. It is possible that the collegial bench judges had different opinions on the case, and the case might have to be brought to the court for study or to the court's judicial committee for discussion.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing. You go back and wait for the letter. I will inform you if there is any news. "Fang Yi said.

After having lunch at a restaurant not far from the court, on the way back to the court, Zhou Ying took the initiative to take over the driving job, considering that Fang Yi was tired after a long morning of bickering.

"Lawyer Fang, do you think we can win this case?" Zhou Ying asked while driving.

"Judging from the current situation, it's not too clear." Fang Yi said, rubbing his temples with both hands.

"I have read this case several times against the laws and judicial interpretations. I have also read your defense opinions. No matter how I read it, I feel that there is a high chance of winning the case. Why do you say it is not clear? Does something feel wrong?" Zhou Ying was confused. He glanced at Fang Yi and said.

"Whether the verdict of the case will be as expected depends on whether the time, location, and harmony are met. Although the Criminal Law and judicial interpretations read by us and the judge are the same, the facts of each case are different. , even for similar cases, the judgment results may be different due to differences in the judges’ experience, mood, and professional abilities.

If other factors are involved, it will be even harder to say, so lawyers cannot guarantee the final outcome of the case to any client, because the outcome is beyond our control. "Fang Yi said with great sincerity.

"Oh, what do you mean by 'other factors'?" Zhou Ying blinked and asked thoughtfully.

Fang Yi smiled mysteriously: "You will know when you do more cases."

When Fang and Yi returned to the law firm, Huang Yuanchao was drinking tea and was not in a high mood.

"Old Huang, what's wrong? Why are you as depressed as an eggplant beaten by frost?" Fang Yi said half-jokingly.

"Hey, don't mention it." Huang Yuanchao said, putting down his tea cup.

"Let's go to my office and chat for a while." Fang Yi said and walked into the office with his bag.

After a while, Huang Yuanchao also walked in and sat on the chair opposite Fang Yi's desk.

"Come on, how about tasting this tea?" Fang Yi took out an exquisite porcelain jar, took out some tea leaves and made Huang Yuanchao a cup of tea.

"Well, it smells good! This tea is very fragrant!" Huang Yuanchao wiggled his nose, smelled it, and suddenly became interested: "Is it Jin Junmei? Did you get it from the boss?"

"Informed! But I didn't get it, the boss gave it to me." Fang Yi said with a smile.

"The boss is so generous. You may not be able to buy such high-quality tea in tea shops outside. It costs at least two or three thousand silver or one tael." Huang Yuanchao picked up the tea cup and smelled it, looking like he was enjoying it.

"Two thousand or three thousand? You said less! Since he stopped drinking, the boss has become more and more cunning. He doesn't even look down on the tea that is less than that. How picky!" Fang Yi said with a smile.

After a while, Huang Yuanchao put down his tea cup and said calmly: "One of my former apprentices was arrested."

"Caught? What crime?" Fang Yi asked in surprise.

"The crime of obstructing testimony." Huang Yuanchao said.

"What's going on?" Fang Yi asked.

"She has just practiced law for one year. She transferred from our law firm last year. In order to make more money, she went to a medium-sized law firm that had fewer deductions than our law firm. Because she had just started practicing law, she had no clients and no resources. She spent all day working at Wandering around the court gate looking for clients.

At the end of last year, she took on a criminal case, a rape case. Originally, she did not do criminal cases, nor did she do any criminal cases, but due to financial pressure, now she can only do whatever cases are available.

The client asked her if there was any way to get his son out. How could she, a small lawyer, do anything? But she didn’t want to lose her client, so she told her client that there was no need to find connections in this case. As long as the victim changed her story and said it was not rape, the client The son will naturally be fine, and the court will not punish the defendant.

As a result, the client really went to find the victim. As soon as he entered the door, he put a large amount of money on the table. The victim looked at the money and thought that this was already the case. Even if he was sentenced to the other party, he would not be able to get so much money. Then he agreed.

The victim wrote a handwritten statement explaining that the relationship between her and the defendant was a joke and that the relationship between the two was a couple and did not involve rape. The client went to the prosecutor's office and the court with a briefing of the situation. "Huang Yuanchao said.

"Then how was it discovered?" Fang Yi asked after taking a sip of tea.

"After the prosecutor in charge of the case saw the description written by the victim, he immediately became alert and suspected that there was something wrong in it. When the public security organs and prosecutors questioned the victim, the victim spoke categorically, saying that the defendant raped her. The two only knew each other. , it is not a romantic relationship. Moreover, the investigation and evidence collection can also support the victim’s words.

The prosecutor felt that the victim's behavior was abnormal, so he conducted an investigation. As a result, the victim felt guilty and could not bear the pressure, so he quickly told the truth.

Later, the procuratorate transferred the matter to the public security agency. The client was summoned to the public security agency, but he quickly gave up, saying that the lawyer gave him the idea. As a result, my apprentice was arrested.

The police transferred the case to the procuratorate, which filed an indictment with the court for obstructing testimony. Before the client's son's case was decided, she was sentenced first and her lawyer's license was revoked.

When that girl was interning with me, she was very smart and capable of doing things. I originally wanted to keep her in the team, handle cases for a few years, improve her professional skills, and then let her go out to work.

But she felt that there were too many points deducted by the office. She wanted to make more money and improve her life, but she was arrested just one year after practicing. Pity! "Huang Yuanchao said regretfully.

"Old Huang, our industry faces too many temptations. Some risks are obvious like lice on a bald man's head, and some risks are hidden underwater. We don't know when they will break out. In the past few years, colleagues have been caught and sentenced. There are only a few. Criminal lawyers are the hardest hit area.

How should I put it? Criminal lawyers are dancers on the tip of a knife. Sometimes, even lawyers with the highest professional abilities will be injured by the tip of the knife. It mainly depends on whose hand the handle of the knife is.

Lao Huang, the past is in the past, so don’t think about it too much. This bottle of tea is given to you to soothe your hurt heart. "Fang Yi took out a can of tea from the cabinet under the bookshelf and handed it to Huang Yuanchao.

"What, if you give me that jar of Dahongpao, my injured heart will recover faster!" Huang Yuanchao stood up, leaned forward, stretched his neck, and looked straight at Fang Yi under the bookshelf. The cabinet where the tea leaves were taken just now, said.

Fang Yi was stunned, and his eyes immediately became sharp: "Old Huang, you must be kind!" After saying that, he made a move to put the tea can back in his hand, but was stopped by Huang Yuanchao, who had quick hands and eyes.

"No, I'm kidding you, this is fine too!" Huang Yuanchao said with a smile.
