You became a lawyer and sent the judge in?

Chapter 507 If you do this, you have to give it all to him!

Qin Xiao knew very well that this was the fault of the court and the procuratorate.

They must handle this pot properly.

Otherwise... it will make them look slutty and they won't be able to get rid of it no matter what.

They have also considered everything that the court has considered.

It's nothing more than pressure from above, the influence of public opinion, and Zhang Hongtao's attorney.

For them, the easiest trouble to deal with and solve is Zhang Hongtao's attorney Su Bai.

It is indeed difficult for the court to uphold the original judgment of first instance.

But in some aspects, it is difficult for the court to handle it, but it is much easier for them to handle it here.

After all, the powers are different.

The court only has the right to make judgments, but they have the right to review.

The time limit for review is clearly stipulated by law.

But.…

The current situation is that the first-instance verdict has been made, and it stands to reason that Zhang Hongtao should be allowed to serve his sentence.

Zhang Hongtao refused to accept the first instance verdict and filed an appeal.

The result of the appeal was that the court asked them to review and supplement the evidence.

In the meantime, there is a long time to add evidence.

As long as he is a little willful, Zhang Hongtao can be censored for a year!

Zhang Hongtao was originally sentenced to six months in prison, but he was under review for one year. He should be very clear about the severity of the crime.

After all, one year on probation is much longer than six months in prison.

Although the law clearly stipulates that people cannot be detained for such a long time.

However, they will always be stuck with bugs. If they really can't, just a few more bugs and a few marginal improvements will solve the problem.

this matter.…

If Zhang Hongtao pleads guilty and accepts punishment, this matter will be much easier to handle.

If he doesn’t plead guilty and accept punishment, then force him to plead guilty and accept punishment!

Qin Xiao thought to himself and had a definite idea about the case Zhang Hongtao was involved in.

….

On the other side, Xu Mingyuan, the leader of the prosecution and review team responsible for Zhang Hongtao's case, was interrogating Zhang Hongtao in the detention center's review room.

Xu Mingyuan sat in the examination room and looked at Zhang Hongtao with a dull look.

"Zhang Hongtao... your case is currently being appealed to the High Court for a second trial. The High Court is currently citing insufficient evidence and has asked our prosecutorial department to supplement the evidence."

"You also know that in this case, our prosecutorial department is also under great pressure."

"You did have a certain tendency when you tried that case. You should know this in your heart, right?"

"We have been dealing with each other for such a long time."

"You plead guilty and accept the punishment."

"As long as you plead guilty and accept punishment, I will find a way to reduce your criminal punishment and try to get a suspended sentence. What do you think?"

Xu Mingyuan knocked on the table and stared at Zhang Hongtao.

He hoped that Zhang Hongtao could agree to this condition.

But he also knew in his heart that Zhang Hongtao could not agree to this condition from the beginning.

He has enough patience for this matter.

Now we are waiting for Zhang Hongtao’s attitude.

Faced with the conditions offered by Xu Mingyuan, Zhang Hongtao said calmly: "I don't accept it."

"It's impossible for me to accept this condition."

"Prosecutor Xu, you are also very clear about this case. After all, you have followed up on this case since I was investigated from the beginning."

"I know you are under pressure in this case because the defendant's identity is relatively special, his background is relatively large, and the relationships involved are also very complicated."

"But you should also know very well in your heart that although I have certain tendencies, my judgments are all within the scope of the law."

"I did not commit any malfeasance!"

"You have pressure, but when I am wrongly accused and accused of being a judge who violates laws and disciplines, don't I have pressure?"

"Moreover."

"If you have facts, evidence, or any clues about my violation of laws and disciplines, and sentence me, no matter how heavy the punishment is, I will accept the result."

"But asking me to plead guilty to a false accusation is something I firmly disagree with!"

Faced with Xu Mingyuan's conditions, Zhang Hongtao refused very simply.

He has a bias when making judgments, and he admits this.

But.

When he makes judgments, he always has a legal basis and there is absolutely no malfeasance in his duties!

The other party insisted that he had committed a crime of dereliction of duty, which was completely unacceptable to him.

What Xu Mingyuan is saying now is very good. He is saying that he will be given a suspended sentence and the criminal punishment will be reduced.

But if a normal review is conducted, he has no criminal behavior at all!

One is to have a reduced criminal penalty but have a criminal record.

But the other one was completely innocent of any crime.

Zhang Hongtao knew very well which of these two was more important, and of course he preferred the latter.

In this case, Zhang Hongtao must directly reject Xu Mingyuan's suggestion.

After hearing that Zhang Hongtao rejected his proposal, Xu Mingyuan smiled and didn't take it too seriously.

Continue to speak: "Zhang Hongtao, I know you feel aggrieved."

"But your grievances are of little use. Everyone involved in this case is under tremendous pressure."

"Many of us are paying attention to this case under pressure from above. Now it involves not one person but a group."

"If your case is not handled well, many people will be affected, and the impact will be huge."

"Let me explain it to you here."

"In this case, if you plead guilty and accept punishment, the court will most likely sentence you to a suspended sentence."

"But if you refuse to plead guilty, we will conduct a review according to the normal process, which will take about a year."

"The review time is far longer than the time you are sentenced."

"I think you should think carefully about whether to plead guilty or not."

"Don't directly say you refuse to plead guilty. The situation you face if you don't plead guilty is very serious."

Facing Xu Mingyuan's words, Zhang Hongtao frowned. Was this an obvious threat to him?

The meaning of Xu Mingyuan's words is obvious. He pleaded guilty and accepted punishment. This case has been explained to many people. The court can give him a suspended sentence when sentencing him.

On the other hand, if he does not plead guilty and accept punishment, which brings trouble to these people, the court can punish him without violating the rules.

However, the prosecutor can use the investigation to supplement evidence as a reason to impose actual punishment on him.

Afterwards, if it really can't go on any longer, can we give some symbolic compensation?

This routine...

To be honest, Zhang Hongtao knew very well in his heart that he would not relent or admit guilt and punishment.

The other party is very likely to do this.

and!

The procuratorate added evidence and found it to be legal and compliant. Even if it brought this matter to light and put it on the Internet, it could not find any problems.

This is asking him to make multiple choice questions.

If you choose to plead guilty and accept punishment, you will be suspended. If you do not choose to plead guilty and accept punishment, you will stay in the detention center for one year.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Hongtao raised his head and looked at Xu Mingyuan calmly.

"I'd like to reiterate that I did not neglect my duties or bend the law. Even if the investigation takes longer, I am willing to wait."

"I believe that the law will definitely give me a fair and just verdict in the end!"

Zhang Hongtao knows very well that if he pleads guilty and accepts punishment, then the fact that he committed a crime will be confirmed.

Even if he stayed in the detention center for a year, he would be found not guilty by then.

Now if you don't plead guilty and accept punishment, you will just stay in jail for a year, but once you plead guilty, the stain will be with you for life!

For Zhang Hongtao, the former is obviously easier to accept.

Xu Mingyuan was not surprised by Zhang Hongtao's choice, but he was about to continue persuading him.

He was interrupted by Zhang Hongtao: "I have made it very clear."

"I believe the law will clear my name."

"No matter how long I wait, I will wait. Let alone one year, I can wait for three years."

"But can I be detained for three years in this case?"

"I don't want to say more about the rest. My attorney will be fully responsible for my case."

After speaking, Zhang Hongtao did not speak any more.

Xu Mingyuan frowned slightly. Zhang Hongtao's choice was undoubtedly a bad result for him.

Zhang Hongtao expects his attorney to intervene in this case?

However, during the review of supplementary evidence, even Zhang Hongtao's attorney has a decisive role in the legal circle. As long as they abide by the legal rules, they can still solve the matter.

As for public opinion...public opinion can influence illegal legal procedures, but it cannot influence normal legal procedures.

Is it possible to count on the lawyer from Bai Jun Law Firm? It definitely won’t work from here!

Xu Mingyuan said: "It doesn't matter if you refuse now."

"But let me remind you here first."

"If you expect your attorney to be able to influence the legal process, you also know that it is completely impossible."

"You refuse to plead guilty and accept punishment. You must think clearly about the consequences you will face."

"Of course, during our investigation and review, if you are willing to plead guilty and accept punishment, then the conditions I have offered before will still count."

"Think about it yourself."

Zhang Hongtao directly rejected Xu Mingyuan: "I don't need to think about it, I want to see my client lawyer."

Xu Mingyuan frowned even more and left the examination room without saying a word.

After Xu Mingyuan left, Zhang Hongtao took a long breath. As a judge, he also knew what he would face.

In the next year... it is really possible that he will be detained in the detention center.

But...it only takes about a year.

He can afford to wait!

On the other side, Su Bai at Bai Jun Law Firm was waiting for an explanation from the prosecution department.

The final results of the investigation are awaited.

Whether to withdraw the case or continue the appeal, both points are acceptable.

But it was Zhang Hongtao who was waiting, wanting to see him.

This is very strange, because Su Bai and Zhang Hongtao had communicated before.

The two people believe that this case needs to wait until the prosecutorial department gives the corresponding results before discussing how to proceed.

If you want to see him now, something must have happened.

So, Su Bai brought Li Xuezhen to Huishi Detention Center.

The staff at the detention center did not embarrass Su Bai. After going through the normal procedures, Su Bai met Zhang Hongtao in the summons room.

Zhang Hongtao told Su Bai the general content of his conversation with Xu Mingyuan.

Su Bai frowned slightly after hearing the whole process.

"The prosecutorial department requires you to plead guilty, accept punishment, and provide a corresponding confession. Otherwise, it will continue to add evidence to the case?"

"Maybe as long as a year?"

The maximum period for supplementary evidence is six months.

If you continue to request additional evidence and want an extension, you must apply to the higher court.

Judging from Xu Mingyuan's statement, is this an attempt to delay it for a year?

Zhang Hongtao nodded: "That's right."

"It's okay, Lawyer Su, I can wait."

"The most they can do is delay it for a year. After one year, I can be acquitted."

"I called you, Lawyer Su, here this time because I wanted to talk to you about this matter."

"I know that this kind of thing, Mr. Su, may not be easy for you to handle. After all, these are all within the legal process."

“….”

This time Zhang Hongtao just wanted to tell Su Bai roughly what happened.

After all...his case was entrusted by Su Bai.

As the client's lawyer, Su Bai should know these things.

Su Bai shook his head: "There is no problem in supplementing evidence according to legal procedures."

"But your sentence is only six months. How long can you wait to review additional evidence?"

"During this process, it is entirely possible to obtain bail pending trial."

"You can even be released on bail pending trial right now."

"This case of yours... don't worry about anything else for now. Prepare to be released on bail pending trial."

"But...to be released on bail pending trial, does this also require consent?"

In response to Zhang Hongtao's question, Su Bai nodded: "It's a need."

"However... it is your statutory legal obligation to be released on bail pending trial."

"This is not a violation and is also within the scope of the corresponding laws."

"You don't have to worry about this anymore... Since we are currently supplementing evidence, I will apply for bail pending trial."

"Since they are delaying, we can keep delaying, and it won't have much impact on you."

Zhang Hongtao nodded when he heard Su Bai's arrangement.

"I listen to Lawyer Su."

….

In the summons room of the detention center, Su Bai and Zhang Hongtao simply further analyzed and sorted out the case.

Left the detention center.

This visit to the detention center was already the second time Su Bai came to the detention center.

According to previous experience in handling cases, it is generally not necessary to come to the detention center to see your client more than once.

But this case... is obviously different.

To be honest, Su Bai did not expect that Xu Mingyuan would use supplementary evidence as a reason to detain Zhang Hongtao for a long time to make Zhang Hongtao admit to a false crime.

He originally thought that the prosecutorial department would most likely withdraw the case, or file an appeal to the High Court based on the current situation.

What's more...fabricated evidence.

However, the possibility of forging evidence is extremely low.

From this point of view, Xu Mingyuan is still very capable.

On the side, Li Xuezhen had a serious face: "Lawyer Su..."

"Xu Mingyuan's behavior can be considered an act of coercion, right?"

"Let's go directly and report him!"

Su Bai shook his head: "Without evidence, the report cannot be accepted."

"Another point is that the current actions of the other party do not have many legal loopholes and are all in compliance with the law."

"So... in this case, we must first ensure the protection of the rights and interests of our client and get bail pending trial."

"Then we'll talk about the rest."

Li Xuezhen nodded, but her face was still a little angry.

What the other party did... was obviously an act of forcing a confession!
