Lawyer's character
Chapter 873 Partner Meeting
"Lawyer Du, is it possible for my son's case to be changed?" In the Jetta, Guan Jibao, with tears on his face, asked while holding his daughter-in-law Zhang Shuilan with dull eyes.
"You can appeal, but I don't think... the hope is too great." Du Yong hesitated for a moment, but still said what was in his heart.
After listening to Du Yong's words, Guan Jibao said nothing.
Guan Jibao and his wife are now living with relatives in the next village and dare not return to the village for fear of revenge from the victim's family. After sending Guan Jibao and his wife to their residence, Guan Jibao thanked Du Yong and Yun Qiao repeatedly, and Du Yong drove back to the law firm.
On the way back to the law firm, Yun Qiao asked: "Lawyer Du, do you think Guan Jibao will choose to appeal?"
"I think so, but whether we will be entrusted to us again... not necessarily. I think there is no hope in the second trial. It is just a formality." Du Yong was a little entangled in his heart. If the other party entrusted us, he would still use the same rhetoric and change the sentence in the second trial. The possibility is almost zero. With the legal fees... I feel a little uncomfortable.
Du Yong has a bottom line and cannot tell lies. He knows that 90% of the cases will be lost and he still deceives the parties that he can win. He cannot do this. It is precisely because of this bond that before he joined Fang Yi's team, he was not doing very well and his income was not high. But then again, it is precisely because of this bond that he has a bottom line and his conscience is still there.
Du Yong guessed correctly. After receiving the verdict, Guan Jibao was tricked by a lawyer from another law firm in the city into signing the commission procedures for the second trial, and requested the court to reduce the punishment on the grounds that the defendant had surrendered.
After trial, the Provincial High Court held that the appellant Guan Jiang was discovered by others while stealing and killed others for fear that the matter would be exposed, which constituted intentional homicide. Guan Jiang appealed and argued that he had surrendered and should be given a lighter or reduced punishment. After investigation, the arrest certificate issued by the public security agency was confirmed. When the investigators visited Guan Jiang during the investigation after the incident, Guan Jiang had scratches on his hands and claimed that He was scratched by a cat. After careful observation by technicians, it was found that the wound could not be caused by a cat scratch, and Guan Jiang was suspected of committing a major crime.
The defendant Guan Jiang confessed the facts of his crime during interrogation, so the reason for appeal and defense opinion cannot be established. What he mentioned was that he was a first-time offender or an occasional offender, which was found to be true after investigation. Although the defendant Guan Jiang was a first-time offender and an occasional offender, his criminal methods were particularly cruel, the circumstances were particularly abominable, and the consequences were particularly serious, which was not enough to give him a lighter punishment.
The facts found in the original judgment were clear, the evidence was reliable and sufficient, the law was applied correctly, and the sentence was appropriate. The trial procedure was legal. In accordance with Articles 189(1) and 199 of the Criminal Procedure Law, and 277 According to the provisions of Article 15 (2), the ruling is: reject the appeal and uphold the original judgment.
After the second instance verdict was pronounced, the High Court submitted it to the Supreme People's Court for approval in accordance with the law.
After review, the Supreme Court held that the defendant Guan Jiang was discovered during the theft and feared that the matter would be exposed, so he killed and silenced him. His behavior constituted the crime of intentional homicide. Although Guan Jiang truthfully confessed his crime after being brought to justice and had a good confession attitude, and he was a first-time offender, his murder method was particularly cruel, the circumstances were particularly bad, and the consequences were particularly serious, which was not enough to give him a lighter punishment. Ruling: Approved the Provincial High Court’s Final No. 315 to uphold the first-instance criminal ruling that sentenced defendant Guan Jiang to death for intentional homicide and deprived him of political rights for life.
After the verdict of the first instance was announced, Guan Jibao did not contact Du Yong again. The latter only learned about the Supreme Court approval result of the Guanjiang murder case when he was searching for relevant cases in May.
…
In the No. 1 conference room of Wanhua United Law Firm, a partners' meeting is being held. All first-level partners and second-level partners of the law firm have arrived and are discussing the candidates for second-level partners.
As expected by Wan Kefa, after he introduced Fang Yi to participate in the second-level partner election, another first-level partner, Lawyer Zou, introduced Lawyer Li Fang.
“There are two candidates this year, one is lawyer Fang Yi and the other is lawyer Li Fang, but there is only one quota for promotion to second-level partner this year.
Everyone is familiar with Lawyer Fang Yi, who mainly focuses on criminal litigation. He is currently a third-level partner of our law firm. Lawyer Li Fang mainly focuses on non-litigation business and has done well in recent years. He is currently also a third-level partner of our law firm.
The introduction materials of the two lawyers have been sent to all partners. You can read the materials and put forward your own opinions. Finally, we will conduct a secret ballot. According to the old rules, two-thirds will be elected. Hua Liancheng, who presided over the meeting, introduced with a smile.
Everyone in the conference room either looked down at the information, or frowned while smoking cigarettes. No one wanted to be the leader. In fact, everyone can see clearly that the selection of second-level partners is actually an internal fight between the two first-level partners, Wan Kefa and Lawyer Zou, so no one is willing to speak first and offend others for no reason. Not worth it.
"I just looked at the personal information of the two candidates. It should be said that they are both excellent, especially Lawyer Fang. His reputation in the province is well known. He is not only famous in the circle, but also outside the legal circle. .There are many parties who come here because of its reputation.
Of course, Attorney Li Fang is also a senior lawyer, but in terms of reputation, Attorney Fang Yi is better. If Attorney Fang is promoted to a second-level partner, it will be of great benefit to the improvement of our law firm's brand. "A bald male lawyer in his fifties said while smoking a cigarette and squinting his eyes.
He didn't know if it was because of the smoke or because he was too tired to wake up recently. Anyway, he just couldn't open his eyes, so that was fine, he didn't need to look at anyone's eyes anyway.
"I think this is wrong. Each inch has its strengths and one foot has its weaknesses. Each candidate has its own advantages. It is difficult for non-litigation lawyers to become famous, at least not as easy as criminal lawyers.
But we are a law firm and a profit-making organization, so everything depends on money. Judging from the income generated by the two candidates, Lawyer Li Fang is obviously better. The difference in income between the two is nearly 4 million, which is quite a big gap! "A lean male lawyer in his forties began to fight back after getting hints from Lawyer Zou.
"Speaking of income generation, I looked at the clients of the two of them. Among the projects that Lawyer Li Fang handled last year, the projects with high fees were basically old clients. This can be found in our system.
Looking at lawyer Fang Yi again, his most expensive cases are all new cases and he has no old clients. Therefore, from the perspective of innovation and business development, Attorney Fang is stronger. I think Attorney Fang is more suitable for promotion to a second-level partner. "A male lawyer with a square face said casually.
