Lawyer

As soon as they got to work in the afternoon, Geng Zhen and Li Mingbo walked into the law firm with their briefcases. In the morning, they went to the county court below for a trial.

After putting down the briefcase, Geng Zhen took a look at Meng Guangda's work station. Meng Guangda was not at the work station, and Yu Wendong not far away was reading the file.

"Yuwen, where's Brother Da?" Geng Zhen walked up to Yu Wendong unhurriedly and asked.

"He went to the detention center. Yesterday he took a case about selling Y. He took Sui Xia to meet with him." Yu Wendong put down the case file, raised his head and smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

"Well, it's really not a big deal." Geng Zhen said as he pulled up a chair and sat beside Yu Wendong: "Do you still remember the intentional homicide case we discussed earlier?"

"You're talking about the case of abandoning the sick daughter, right? Remember, the sentence?" Yu Wendong's eyes were full of curiosity.

"Well, lawyer Li and I went to the court session in the morning. The presiding judge pronounced the sentence in court. Chi Yunfa was sentenced to four years in prison, and his lover Qi Renxia was sentenced to two years in prison." Geng Zhen said.

The county court held that the defendants Chi Yunfa and Qi Renxia illegally deprived others of their lives by abandoning a five-day-old baby girl deep in the mountains and wild forests, which constituted the crime of intentional homicide.The facts of the allegations made by the public prosecution agency are clear, the evidence is reliable and sufficient, and the charges have been established.

The two defendants committed a joint crime. In the process of committing the crime of intentional homicide, they failed due to reasons other than their will. This is an attempted crime, and they can be given a lighter or mitigated punishment in comparison with the completed crime.

The two defendants pleaded guilty in court with a good attitude and showed remorse, so they could be given a lighter punishment as appropriate.Accordingly, the county court sentenced Chi Yunfa to four years in prison and Qi Renxia to two years in prison for intentional homicide.

After the verdict was pronounced in the first instance, the two defendants did not file an appeal, nor did the procuratorate protest.

"The defendant, Qi Renxia, ​​should be breastfeeding, right? How will the judgment be enforced?" Yu Wendong asked after thinking for a while.

"Article 265 of the "Criminal Procedure Law" stipulates that criminals sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment or criminal detention may be temporarily served outside prison if they are pregnant or breastfeeding their own babies." Geng Zhen said.

"Qi Renxia can save a few months of squatting in there. The actual time in there may only be a little more than a year." Yu Wendong nodded.

"Well, the collegial panel's opinion is consistent with Da Ge's meaning, we made a defense of misdemeanor..., I would like to invite you to dinner tonight." Geng Zhen nodded and said in a low voice.

In Fang Yi's team, it is very necessary to have a good relationship with colleagues. Although litigation lawyers mainly rely on their personal ability and work alone, it would be better if they have the help of a team, because not all cases are good for you.

Geng Zhen had this in mind, but his main reason for the treat was to thank Meng Guangda. People can make selfless contributions, but the beneficiaries should not take it for granted, and should express it when they should.

"I'll tell Master to see what he means. Actually, you don't have to be so polite." Yu Wendong smiled.He dared not make decisions for his master.

Geng Zhen smiled: "Okay, I'll wait for your news." After saying that, he got up and walked to his work station.

……

In the detention center, Meng Guangda looked at Hu Huai who was opposite, while listening to him tell the story of the case.Hu Huai is a short and fat man, about 40 years old, slightly bald, with a dark face, and his eyes keep turning back and forth when he talks.

"Lawyer Meng, I'm telling the truth. Really, the conscience of heaven and earth, I introduced it four times in total. It's that simple." Hu Huai swore.

"How many ladies are there?" Meng Guangda asked.

"Only two. The first girl, Lao Gao, thought she was too tall and thin, so I didn't call her again. The second girl was chubby, which suited him very well, so I found her for the next three times. Her." Hu Huai had a greasy face, it seemed that it was not the first time he came in, and he did not know how many times he had been in the palace.

"Do you know the girl's name?" Meng Guangda asked.

"I don't know. There are a few people in this business who tell their real names, either Lili or Shasha. None of them are true." Hu Huai shook his head. "Are you familiar with them?" Meng Guangda asked.

"Not familiar, it's okay. I used to deal with them when I was fooling around in society. So we all know each other." Hu Huai said.

"Do you charge them?" Meng Guangda asked.

Sui Xia recorded while listening.

"Take...a little bit." Hu Huai stammered.

"How much is one point?" Meng Guangda asked.

"One hundred yuan a time, referral fee. You can't work in vain in introducing business. I didn't ask for it on my own initiative, but they proposed it." Hu Huai replied.

"Have you introduced it to others? I mean Miss." Meng Guangda asked.

The reason why he asked this question was because he suspected that Hu Huai organized the young lady to work. If that was the case, the nature would be completely changed. It would not be a simple introduction to prostitute.

According to the provisions of Article 358 of the "Criminal Law", those who organize others to sell Y shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than ten years and a fine; if the circumstances are serious, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years or life imprisonment and a fine or confiscation of property.

The crime of organizing prostitution is a serious crime compared to the crime of procuring prostitutes. The minimum period is five years, and the maximum sentence can be life.

"No, absolutely not. I have my own business, and I don't expect it to make money. How could I introduce it to others? If I didn't want to cooperate with Lao Gao, how could I do such a thing. I am a serious businessman." Hu Huai said seriously .

Seeing Hu Huai's expression, Sui Xia on the side almost laughed out loud.A serious businessman, so serious? !No matter how you hear these words from Hu Huai's mouth, it feels awkward.

Although Meng Guangda didn't believe his words, there was no need to dig deeper, after all, the other party was his client.

"Lawyer Meng, am I committing a crime?" Hu Huai asked.

"Introduction more than two times constitutes a crime, but fortunately, you introduced me four times in total, not ten times, so it is not considered serious." Meng Guangda explained.

"What if the circumstances are serious?" Hu Huai asked hesitantly.

"More than five years in prison, with a minimum of five years!" Meng Guangda replied.

"Ah! What about my case? How many years can I be sentenced?" Hu Huai asked anxiously.

“It’s hard to say, the key is we don’t know how much material the police have.

Your case is currently in the investigation stage. We cannot see the case file, so we can only give you these answers. Only after the case file is transferred to the procuratorate for review and prosecution will we be able to look at the case file and make a judgment only then.

But your case is likely to be less than five years old. "Meng Guangda explained.

"Under five years..." Hu Huai's eyes rolled wildly, and he didn't know what he was planning. (end of this chapter)
