Lawyer

Chapter 1045 Jin Cunhai

Because the lawyer assigned by the legal aid center defended his son in the first trial, and his son was sentenced to death, so the old man felt that the legal aid lawyer was not good enough and wanted to entrust his own lawyer.

Later, a kind person suggested that the old man come to the law firm where Wanke Law is located to try his luck. The old man borrowed some money from relatives and came to the law firm, but he did not expect that the legal fees here were so expensive.

Wan Kefa looked at the old man in tears in front of him, and something deep in his heart was touched. After reading the verdict brought by the old man, he felt that the case was a bit strange, so he decided to help the old man and add some spice to his boring life. Order condiments.

However, due to the regulations of the law firm, he could not represent him for free, so he took the old man to the legal aid center and obtained the case through his connections.This case also became the first legal aid case that he personally handled.

After reviewing the files, he found that there were many doubts in the case: First, the first-instance judgment determined that the defendant's crime tools were a watermelon knife and a short crowbar, but the evidence admitted by the first-instance judgment could not clarify the source and whereabouts of the above-mentioned crime tools; secondly, , the first-instance judgment found that the defendant used a crowbar to open the door and then entered the victim's bedroom, but the evidence accepted by the first-instance judgment could not prove this fact; finally, the first-instance judgment found that the defendant used a crowbar to hit the victim's head hard, causing his death. Death, but lack of sufficient evidence.

The presiding judge of the second instance of the case was none other than the retired judge Jin Cunhai whom Fang Yi was going to meet today.During the second instance trial, Wan Kefa demonstrated his professionalism, and the collegial panel accepted his defense opinions, and ultimately the defendant was acquitted in the second instance.

After that, Wan Kefa helped the old man’s son get compensation from the state.Although this case did not make any money, it helped Wan Kefa get out of his confusion. Not only that, he also unexpectedly received praise from relevant departments, and the mainstream media even gave him an exclusive interview.This was something he didn't expect.

After that, he formed a team and specially set aside legal aid business. Although it was not profitable, he felt it was very meaningful.

Later, Wan Kefa took on several more death penalty cases heard by the provincial high courts, most of which were presided over by Jin Cunhai. The two became familiar with each other over time, and they both knew each other's names, but they had no intersection.

After that, the Lawyers Association organized training, and both Jin Cunhai and Wan Kefa were invited to give lectures. It was not until this time that the two truly knew each other.

After Jin Cunhai retired, Wan Kefa often asked him to fish and drink together. Sometimes when he encountered difficult and complicated cases, he would be invited to come over and listen to his opinions.

"I never thought that a case would have such a big impact on you." Fang Yi sighed.

"I always feel that this is God's will. Why did I see him so early and so late, but he allowed me to see the old man when I was most confused.

If I hadn't gotten out of my confusion back then, I might have ended up in a state of dissipation and lost myself in money, and I wouldn't be where I am today. "Wan Kefa said as the car turned into an old community and stopped at the foot of a six-story red brick building.

"Lao Jin's wife passed away early, and his son is very capable. He worked as a partner in a red circle in Beijing. He bought a villa long ago and wanted him to live happily there, but he couldn't leave his hometown and has been living here." Wan Kefa After getting off the car, he looked up at the red brick building and said to Fang Yi.

Fang Yi smiled, carried two boxes of tea and two bottles of Fenjiu, and followed Wan Kefa to the second floor.

Shortly after the knock on the door, the door opened, and an old man with silver hair but high spirits stood inside the door, looking at Wan Kefa and Wan Kefa with a smile.

Although Jin Cunhai's home is not big, it is very clean and well-organized. The old man is neatly dressed and looks a bit like a retired professor.

Jin Cunhai let Wan Kefa and Fang Yi into the living room. The living room only had an old fabric sofa and an old-looking wooden coffee table. No one who collects tatters would want this kind of sofa and coffee table.

"Lao Jin, this is lawyer Fang Yi." Wan Kefa introduced after joking with Jin Cunhai. "Lawyer Fang, I've heard of you for a long time!" Jin Cunhai was very polite and stood up to shake hands with Fang Yi.

"Don't take it seriously, sir, you've given me a reward! It's not the first time we meet." After shaking hands, Fang Yi handed over the tea and wine.

"You don't have to be so polite. Lao Wan and I are old friends." Jin Cunhai looked at the liquor and tea and asked with a smile, "Did Lao Wan ask you to buy it?"

Fang Yi smiled but said nothing.

"Lao Jin, just keep it. In your life, you have neither good food nor good clothing. You don't smoke cigarettes. You just like to make tea and drink some wine every day. Isn't this what you want? Why ask so many questions? ?!" Wan Kefa was not polite at all.

"That's what you said. Thank you, Lawyer Fang." After Jin Cunhai took the gift, he put it aside and asked while making tea: "Did Director Wan tell you about my visit to you before?"

"Well, Director Wan said that you recommended a criminal case to me." Fang Yi nodded.

"Yes, the parents of the defendant in this case live in the building behind my building. They hired a lawyer before, but the lawyer said that the case was hopeless and wanted the defendant to plead guilty and plead guilty.

Later, the defendant's parents found me and asked me to help analyze the case. They have been neighbors for decades, so it would be inappropriate for me not to help.

But the content I knew was limited, and I couldn’t see the case files, so I thought of Lao Wan. Lao Wan recommended you as soon as I heard about it. I have seen the cases you handled on the Internet, and they are indeed of high quality.Originally, I wanted to go to the law firm to interview you, but I didn’t expect you to come over.

The defendant in this case is someone I grew up watching. His name is Fang Xinyue. He is 25 years old and works in a private company.

According to her parents, she fell in love with a man who had a family outside, and her parents couldn't control it. They quarreled when they met, and Fang Xinyue simply moved out.

According to the previous lawyer, this case was caused by love and hatred, and it was a vendetta.

The victim's mother also had an affair with the man who had a family. Fang Xinyue had been to the victim's house before. There was a time and motive for the crime. I don't know the specific circumstances. Anyway, it was quite chaotic here. "With that said, Jin Cunhai placed a cup of fragrant tea in front of Fang Yi, and then poured another cup for Wan Kefa.

"What stage has this case reached now?" Fang Yi asked.

"The case file has been sent to the procuratorate for some time, and it is estimated that it will be transferred to the court soon. The old man and his wife are quite anxious and have been urging me to see a lawyer, so I am so anxious to make an appointment with you." Jin Cunhai said.

"Well, Mr. Jin, our team has a habit of dealing with some cases where the facts of the case are unclear. We usually sign up for a detention center interview and file review first, and then discuss the entrustment based on the circumstances of the case." Fang Yi thought for a moment and said.
