Lawyer's character

"If you ask me to defend your daughter, the legal fees will be 50,000 yuan. If you appeal, you will need to pay separately." Fang Yi thought that the client's family conditions are good, so 50,000 yuan should be acceptable.

"Fifty thousand yuan..., okay. Can you sign the contract today?" Wu Guodong hesitated and asked.

"No problem. Xiao Zhou, prepare to complete the entrustment procedures." After Fang Yi finished speaking, Zhou Ying left the conference room.

"Lawyer Fang, based on your experience, how many years will my daughter be sentenced?" Wu Guodong asked.

"I can't say exactly how the court will rule. Although the circumstances of your daughter's case are relatively serious, there are reasons, and the victim was at fault first... Considering that your daughter has been detained for more than two months, the case file is still in the procuratorate. Review the prosecution, so I am ready to recommend that the court sentences your daughter to five months of detention." Fang Yidao.

"Why five months? Can't three months?" If possible, Wu Guodong hopes that his daughter will come out now.

Wu Guodong also tried before, asking his lawyer to apply for bail pending trial, but the public security organs and procuratorate did not approve it.

"You see, Wu Shanshan has been imprisoned for more than two months. The case has not yet reached the court. Three months is not enough time for the court to go through the procedures. How could it be possible to impose such a sentence. The five months I mentioned are also estimated. It may be necessary later. Adjust the recommended sentence to the length of the court hearing.

When we propose a sentence, we must take into account the court's trial time. Otherwise, it will not be effective, but will make the judge think that we are unreasonable and will not be conducive to the sentencing of the case. "Fang Yi explained.

"Oh, I understand, you are still the professional. I listen to you." Wu Guodong said.

After a while, Zhou Ying walked into the conference room with the entrustment procedures, assisted Wu Guodong in completing the entrustment procedures, and paid the lawyer's fees.

On the second day after Wu Guodong signed the entrustment procedures, Wu Shanshan's case was transferred to the court, and soon the county court arranged a court session.

According to Fang Yi's operating habits, he went to the detention center again before the trial and met with Wu Shanshan.

The county court scheduled the hearing of Wu Shanshan's case at two o'clock in the afternoon. At noon, Wu Guodong invited Fang Yi and Zhou Ying to have dinner at the county restaurant and chatted about the case for a while.

When the trial opened, only the Wu family members were sitting in the gallery. The Zheng family members did not come, and neither did the victim.

Maybe it was because she was under a lot of pressure from being locked up inside. Wu Shanshan in the dock was not in good spirits, her hair was a little messy, and she looked a little nervous.

"...This court believes that the defendant Wu Shanshan illegally deprived the victim of his personal freedom by beating and tying him up. The circumstances were serious and his behavior violated the provisions of Article 238 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China. The facts of the crime are clear , the evidence is reliable and sufficient, and he should be held criminally responsible for the crime of illegal detention.

In view of the fact that the defendant Wu Shanshan was humiliating during the illegal detention of the victim and should be severely punished, it is recommended that the defendant Wu Shanshan be sentenced to three years in prison. According to the provisions of Article 176 of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, if a public prosecution is instituted, please be sentenced in accordance with the law. The indictment has been read out. "A male prosecutor in his forties said.

"Defendant Wu Shanshan, did you hear clearly the indictment just read out by the prosecutor? Do you have any objection to the criminal facts and charges charged in the indictment?" the presiding judge asked.

"I have no objection to the facts of the crime, but I do not admit the crime. I admit that I tied the woman with a rope, but it only lasted more than an hour. Later, she was let go by the neighbors. I did not detain her." Wu Shanshan argued.

"The public prosecutor can interrogate the defendant regarding the criminal facts charged in the indictment," the presiding judge said.

"Okay, presiding judge." The prosecutor's cold eyes fell on Wu Shanshan: "Defendant Wu Shanshan, do you know the victim?"

"I don't know." Wu Shanshan said.

"What did you see when you got home on the night of the crime?" the prosecutor asked.

"I saw that woman was on my bed with my husband..." Wu Shanshan said, biting her lip.

"What did you do?" the prosecutor asked.

"I took the photo, and then my husband approached me and was kicked down by me. Then he jumped out of the window and ran away. Then I grabbed the woman's hair, dragged her to the living room, and tied her up..." Wu Shanshan bit Into the posterior molar passage.

"Where did the rope that bound the victim come from?" the prosecutor asked.

"I bought it from the grocery store." Wu Shanshan said.

"When you tied up the victim, what state was she in? Was she wearing clothes?" the prosecutor asked.

"No clothes on." Wu Shanshan said.

"Why did you tie her up?" the prosecutor asked.

"Because she is shameless and seduces my husband. I want to humiliate her and make her lose face." Wu Shanshan said.

"In addition to tying up, what else did you do to the victim?" the prosecutor asked.

"I slapped her in the mouth a few times, but didn't do anything else," Wu Shanshan said.

"Who was in your home at that time?" the prosecutor asked.

"At first there were only three of us, but then the neighbors heard the shouting and came to knock on the door. I let them in. Then the director of the neighborhood committee came too," Wu Shanshan said.

"How many people are there in total?" the prosecutor asked.

"There were about eight or nine people. I didn't pay much attention at the time," Wu Shanshan said.

"Are these all women, or are they both men and women?" the prosecutor asked.

"There are men and women, they are all neighbors." Wu Shanshan said.

"Presiding judge, we have finished asking questions," the prosecutor said.

The prosecutor asked all the facts, but deliberately downplayed the cause of the case and did not ask why the victim was on the bed at Wu Shanshan's house.

"Does defendant Wu Shanshan's defender need to ask questions to the defendant?" The presiding judge looked at Fang Yi.

"I need to ask a question." Fang Yi said: "Defendant Wu Shanshan, do you know the relationship between the victim and your husband?"

"I know, she is my husband's mistress." There was a trace of resentment in Wu Shanshan's eyes.

"How did you know?" Fang Yi asked.

"In the past six months, I felt that my husband's behavior was a bit abnormal, so I conducted a secret investigation." Wu Shanshan said.

"How did you know that they would go to your house on the night of the crime?" Fang Yi asked.

"I don't know. I was waiting at the gate of the community when I saw my husband taking her home in the car, and then I followed her," Wu Shanshan said.

"What was your purpose in tying up the victim?" Fang Yi asked.

"It's very simple. I want to humiliate that woman just to catch the rapist." Wu Shanshan said.

"How long did it last from the time you tied the victim to when everyone untied the victim?" Fang Yi asked.

"It didn't take long, probably more than an hour. I can't remember exactly." Wu Shanshan said.

"Presiding judge, the defender has finished asking questions." Fang Yi said.
