Lawyer's character

"What about your elderly people?" Du Yong's heart moved.

"The old man hasn't moved, but he will definitely not be able to return home." Guan Jibao sighed: "Nowadays, every family has a child, and the country won't allow more children. Whose child is not a treasure? I don't resent Guan Yuefeng. , I only regret that I gave birth to a murderer.

But no matter how much I hate him, he is also my son and I still have to take care of him. People in our village don't understand any big principles, but I understand the principle of killing people to pay for their lives.

The couple of us have been visiting law firms a lot during this time, and have met with many lawyers. Whenever possible... I would like to ask you... to see if you can find a way to save his life, whether it is a life sentence or a reprieve of death. "As he spoke, Guan Jibao's tears fell down like broken pearls.

His wife Zhang Shuilan also cried.

"Is the case now in the procuratorate or the court?" Du Yong asked after a moment of silence.

"In the court." Guan Jibao replied.

"Mr. Guan, let me be honest. If there are no statutory leniency in this case, I'm afraid... we can only try our best, but we may not be able to save the person." Du Yong frowned and said honestly.

Even the defendant's parents knew that if they killed someone, their son's life might be at risk. Du Yong thought it was better to tell the truth without beating around the bush, which would appear more candid. He believed that the couple in front of him must have known that their son's life was very likely not to be saved before making the entrustment. The reason why they came to the entrustment was to give it a try, hoping for a miracle.

The opinions given by the lawyers Guan Jibao met before were indeed not very optimistic. Lawyers with evil intentions wanted to make some money, but Guan Jibao had no money and could not afford much legal fees at all, so lawyers who wanted to swindle some money did not like to answer questions. They are a couple.

In desperation, Guan Jibao heard that Fang Yi's team specializes in handling criminal cases, and that many death penalty cases have good final results, so he thought of treating dead horses as living horses.

Xie Youhe felt that his son's case had little hope, so he went through the procedures and only charged him 6,000 yuan in legal fees and transferred the case to Du Yong.

In fact, in a case like Guan Jiang's, the defendant is very likely to be sentenced to death. Even if Guan Jibao does not retain a lawyer, the court will appoint a lawyer to defend him, but Guan Jibao is not willing to give in.

Guan Jibao nodded after listening to Du Yong's words.

"We will try our best. In the next two days, we will review the papers and go to the detention center to meet your son. When the defense plan is finalized, we will call you and ask you to come over." Du Yong said.

Guan Jibao nodded and could only do this for now, and the couple left the law firm.

Du Yong and Yun Qiao chatted while walking back.

"Lawyer Du, do you think that if the defendant did not kill anyone but just rummaged through the box to find money, would he be sentenced in the end?" Yun Qiao thought for a while and asked.

"I think if it was just theft, the defendant might not be guilty of the crime.

According to Guan Jibao's description, his son's theft was actually minor and harmless, and no money was stolen. It was an attempt and might not be considered a crime.

I remember that in March 1998, the Supreme Court issued the Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Laws in Handling Theft Cases, which stipulates: "Attempted theft, if the circumstances are serious, such as using a huge amount of property or the state Those who target precious cultural relics for theft should be convicted and punished.”

Based on the specific circumstances of this case, the defendant Guan Jiang went to a villager's house in the same village to steal property. He had no clear target for the theft, and he listened to Guan Jibao's wishes and the family from which he was robbed was also an ordinary farmer, and his family conditions were not very good. Therefore, the defendant The amount of theft should not be huge enough.

Moreover, the defendant did not take away the victim's property after killing and silenced him, so his theft could not be considered a crime. "Du Yong stopped and said.

"Well, I've made an appointment to meet at the detention center at 9:30 tomorrow morning," Yun Qiao said.

"Okay, the county detention center is relatively far away. You wait for me downstairs at eight o'clock. I will drive to pick you up and we will go directly there." Du Yong said.

"Okay!" Yun Qiao smiled.

During this period, Fang Yi has been busy with the wedding banquet with Yun Mei, and it's the end of the year, so Fang Yi is busy and doesn't take many cases, so Yun Qiao will follow Zhou Ying and Du Yong to handle cases when she has nothing to do.

We all have a good relationship, so when a case goes to court, Zhou Ying and others will ask Yun Qiao to go with them.

Early the next morning, with the biting cold wind blowing, Du Yong and Yun Qiao, wrapped in down jackets, hunched their necks, lined up to enter the detention center and began to go through the interview procedures.

More than twenty minutes later, Guan Jiang was brought over. Guan Jiang looks a lot like his mother. He is very strong and energetic. He recounted the incident.

"Have you met anyone from the Procuratorate?" Du Yong asked.

"I've seen it before." Guan Jiang lowered his head and looked a little dazed.

"Why did you want to kill Guantong?" Du Yong asked.

"I'm afraid he will shout out. I was very scared at the time. They are all from the same village..." Guan Jiang raised his head and looked at Du Yong, his eyes full of fear.

"Guantong's family is not richer than yours, why did you choose his family?" Du Yong then asked.

"I didn't want to steal his house at the time. When I passed by his house when I came home at noon, I saw that there was a lock on the door of his house and the courtyard wall was low. I didn't know what happened, so I went to his house by accident.

At first, I thought there was no one in his house, but when I entered the house, I discovered that Guan Tong was sleeping on the bed. At that time, I knocked over the thermos bottle and woke him up. But I wanted to run, but my legs didn't work, and then..." Guan Jiang lowered his head again and reached out to wipe away his tears.

"Lawyer Du, do I have to pay with my life?!" Guan Jiang suddenly raised his head and asked.

"...There are some things that you have to bear the consequences of if you do them." Du Yong said after a moment of silence.

Du Yong and Yun Qiao left the detention center and returned to the city. Guan Jiang's case may be sentenced to death, so the court of first instance is the Intermediate Court and the case files have been transferred to the Intermediate Court, so they have to go to the Intermediate Court for review.

Before the New Year's Day holiday, Du Yong received a notice from the Intermediate People's Court that the Guanjiang murder case would be heard on the Thursday of the first week after the New Year's Day holiday.

Yunmei and Fang Yi discussed having a banquet at Yun's house in the south, and there were a lot of customers who needed to move around at the end of the year, so they were both very busy recently.

Originally, Fang Yi and his wife wanted to treat Li Shuming to a drink, but Li Shuming had already gone abroad to reunite with his wife and daughter, so the appointment could not be made.

"Master, we're going on vacation soon. Do you want to get some benefits for everyone?" Yun Qiao sat opposite Fang Yi and asked with a playful smile.

"Well, you have to be prepared. Let's do this. You prepare a shopping card worth 500 yuan for each of us. It can be regarded as a benefit given by the team to everyone.

In addition, the boss reportedly prepared some gifts for everyone, including a bucket of peanut oil and two chickens for each person. Your sister and I are going to the south tomorrow, and our tickets have been booked.

When I was doing business before, I had a lot of vegetables and meat left at home. You can give my share directly to Yu Wendong. His family is not rich. "Fang Yi thought for a while and said. (End of chapter)
