Lawyer's character

That afternoon, Fang Yi was talking to Wan Kefa about training star lawyers, and Xie Youhe knocked on the door and walked in.

"Director, excuse me, there is a client who insists on seeing lawyer Fang Yi. Look." Xie Youhe looked at Fang Yi and Wan Kefa.

"Lawyer Fang, you go ahead. Let's talk tomorrow." Wan Kefa knew that Xie Youhe would not come to Fang Yi if it was not an emergency.

Fang Yi agreed, got up and followed Xie Youhe out of the director's office.

"Lao Xie, what's going on?" Fang Yi looked at Xie Youhe confused.

"There was a murder case, and the defendant's daughter-in-law wanted to see you when she came. I heard a general idea and felt that this case was not simple, so I ran over to find you." Xie Youhe explained.

Fang Yi saw that among the lawyers in the team, only Cao Yongzheng was sitting listlessly at his desk looking at the case files, so he called him and went to the conference room.

After entering the conference room, Fang Yi saw a woman, about thirty years old, with a dark red face, ordinary clothes, a strong body, and red and swollen eyes. She must have been crying a lot during this time. She seemed to be in a trance.

"Ms. Chen, this is Lawyer Fang Yi, and next to me is Lawyer Cao. Lawyer Fang, Lawyer Cao, this is Ms. Chen Xiaoling, and the defendant is her husband, named Deng Junshan." Xie Youhe introduced both parties.

"Lawyer Fang, you have to save our Junshan, he was wronged." As soon as Xie Youhe finished speaking, Chen Xiaoling knelt down.

Fang Yi hurriedly hid aside. He couldn't bear to kneel down, so he hurriedly helped Chen Xiaoling: "You have something to say, what are you doing?"

"My mother-in-law reported that my husband had killed my father-in-law. My husband was unjust..." Chen Xiaoling cried and roughly recounted the incident.

Chen Xiaoling and Deng Junshan are married and have a son who has just entered elementary school. Deng Junshan's family lived in the same village as his parents and younger brother. After getting married that year, Deng Junshan had a tense relationship with his father Deng Lu because of the separation of the family. A year later, Chen Xiaoling gave birth to a boy. With the help of the villagers, she In addition, Deng Lu wanted to see his eldest grandson, so the relationship with Deng Junshan's family eased.

One night four years ago, someone broke into Deng Lu's house and beat Deng Lu and his daughter-in-law Jiao Shangying. Deng Lu died on the spot and Jiao Shangying was slightly injured. They took away more than 3,000 yuan in cash. Later, the public security organs in this case were never able to find the murderer.

Four years later, three months ago, Jiao Shangying suddenly went to the police station to report that his eldest son Deng Junshan was the murderer of his wife Deng Lu. The public security agency captured Deng Junshan, and the procuratorate charged him with intentional homicide and robbery.

"Lawyer Fang, our Junshan must have been wronged. There is no way he killed his father." Chen Xiaoling said while crying.

"Do you know the details of the case, such as what the murder weapon was, how the person was killed, etc.?" Fang Yi frowned and asked.

"The police found a wooden stick in my pigsty and said it was the murder weapon. I didn't know anything else. I asked a lawyer to see our family Junshan. The lawyer came back and said that he admitted to killing someone and might be sentenced to death. , but I don’t believe it is impossible for our Junshan to kill his father..." Chen Xiaoling’s eyes were very persistent.

"Is your husband's case in court?" Fang Yi couldn't ask for the details of the case, so he had to give up.

"The case is now in the Intermediate People's Court. The court asked me if I have appointed a lawyer. If I do not appoint a lawyer, I can appoint a lawyer. But I cannot trust the appointed lawyer. I know that you are a barrister who specializes in criminal cases. I would like to ask you to defend my husband. .Can you see it?" Chen Xiaoling asked, wiping her tears.

"Ms. Chen, don't worry. I can provide defense for your husband, but I can't say now whether your husband is guilty of intentional homicide and robbery. We have to go to the examination first, and then go to the detention center to meet your husband. Finally, we can Determine a defense plan." Fang Yi explained.

Chen Xiaoling nodded while wiping her tears.

"Let's do this. You pay the lawyer's fee of 10,000 yuan first. We will review the case and meet with your husband first to see the situation. If the case is indeed handleable, we will talk about entrusting a defense later. What do you think?" Fang Yi saw the other party. It's not like a wealthy family that only needs 10,000 yuan in legal fees.

His meaning is very clear. He will charge 10,000 yuan first. If there is a defense point in the case, he will then charge the remaining fees. If the case cannot be handled, he should make it clear to the other party and persuade the other party not to waste money. The court can appoint a lawyer. . Since the court has to appoint a lawyer, it means that the defendant may be sentenced to life imprisonment or death. Fang Yi speculated that the death penalty was more likely to occur in cases of intentional homicide.

"Okay, I'll pay the lawyer's fees right away." Chen Xiaoling nodded in agreement.

After completing the entrustment procedures and seeing Chen Xiaoling off, Fang Yi looked at Cao Yongzheng: "Lawyer Cao, are you interested?"

"I'm interested, thank you for giving me this opportunity." Cao Yongzheng's eyes were filled with excitement.

I have long heard that Fang Yi has very strong professional abilities. Cao Yongzheng has been looking for opportunities to learn from Fang Yi, but he did not expect that the opportunity would come so soon.

"Contact the detention center for a meeting, and then communicate with the Intermediate Court about the grading time. Let me know when you make an appointment." Fang Yi said with a smile. He intended to test Cao Yongzheng through this case to see his professional abilities.

Cao Yongzheng agreed and returned to his work station. He likes busy work, because only being busy can make him temporarily forget the sadness of breaking up.

People often say: If you are frustrated in love, you will be proud in the workplace. I wonder if the breakup with his girlfriend Xiao Wei will bring career pride to the fat man Cao Yongzheng. Things are unpredictable!

Two days later, Fang Yi and Cao Yongzheng in the office were looking through the pages of case files, their eyes dazzled.

"Lawyer Fang, Deng Junshan bit the person to death by himself, but the evidence doesn't match up! I think there is insufficient evidence in this case, and Deng Junshan should not be guilty of intentional homicide.

Moreover, when we went to meet Deng Junshan, his eyes flickered and he did not dare to look at us directly. I thought he either had something in his heart or could not trust us. "Cao Yongzheng put down the case file in his hand and looked up at Fang Yi.

"Well, I have an intuition that Deng Junshan was hesitant and looked left and right when speaking, so he might retract his confession in court. In addition, as you said, there are obvious contradictions between the evidence in the case, and the victim's wife Jiao Shangying was There are also contradictions between the several testimonies mentioned. The evidence in this case is indeed somewhat weak.

Please sort out the evidence in the case, list the cross-examination opinions one by one, and then send it to me. "Fang Yi arranged.

"Lawyer Fang, can you also give me the defense opinions? I will send them to you after I draft them, and you can help check them." Cao Yongzheng hesitated.

"Well, sure. This case mainly depends on the evidence. Send it to me when you're done." Fang Yi said with a smile.

Cao Yongzheng agreed and left the office holding the case file. The reason why he took over all the work was to test whether his views were consistent with Fang Yi's, and to show off his professional abilities. There is another reason, he doesn't want to let himself be idle. (End of chapter)
