Lawyer

Chapter 281 As long as the benefits are big enough

This morning, as soon as Fang Yi arrived at the law firm, Xie Youhe came over with a big teacup and smiled: "Do you still remember the criminal case that Liu Fang gave us last time? It's the one you sent back."

"Did Li Daolin hurt that case on purpose?" Fang Yi thought for a while.

"Yes, it's the criminal case where the defendant was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment in the first instance. The second trial came down yesterday morning. It's exactly as you said, and the second-instance court upheld the original sentence.

Yesterday afternoon, the client came to the firm to find Liu Fang, and they quarreled all afternoon. Finally, Liu Fang called lawyer Zhao, who was co-managing the case, and wanted lawyer Zhao to refund the fees together. The lawyer quarreled. "Xie Youhe whispered.

"How did you deal with it in the end?" Fang Yi asked.

"Return the money! The person involved called a group of people and blocked Liu Fang in the conference room until night without giving money. It was useless to call the police. The police came and saw that there was no trouble. They just wanted to explain and didn't care at all. , Showed one side and went back.

In the end, there was no other way, so Liu Fang paid for the lawyer's fees by herself.You were right that you didn't take that case at the time, otherwise, with the human nature of Lawyer Liu, we would definitely drag our team into the pit. " Xie Youhe said gloatingly.

"How did Lawyer Zhao solve it?" Fang Yi continued to ask.

"Before, in order to prevent her client from being poached by other lawyers, Liu Fang always contacted her client one-way. She patted her breasts, but Lawyer Zhao had never patted her breasts. She was just handling cases normally, so Lawyer Zhao was not afraid.

Now that the case is over, and the client wants a refund, Lawyer Zhao is not afraid of this lawsuit wherever it goes. Naturally, it is impossible to refund a penny to Liu Fang. "Xie Youhe said.

"Once this happens, I'm afraid the lawyers in the firm will no longer cooperate with Liu Fang." Fang Yi sighed.

"It's hard to say, as long as the interests are big enough, Liu Fang can still find a lawyer to cooperate with. After all, not every lawyer is so honest and afraid of risks.

There is a saying: When the woods are big, there will be all kinds of birds.Many lawyers, like businessmen, dare to do anything as long as they have enough interests.There are more than one or two lawyers who are sentenced by the court every year! " Xie Youhe sneered.

During this time, Fang Yi has been studying Zeng Xueqin's case. He went to the Municipal Procuratorate to discuss the case with Prosecutor Xiao, who was in charge of the case. Prosecutor Xiao's opinion was generally consistent with Fang Yi's. In terms of sentencing, Prosecutor Xiao did not express his position. Fang Yi felt that the other party would most likely follow the provisions of Article 230 of the "Criminal Law" and recommend that Zeng Xueqin be sentenced to ten years in prison.

Afterwards, Fang Yi went to the Intermediate People's Court to review the case files. The facts recorded in the case files and the evidence submitted were relatively simple. They were basically consistent with what the other party said when he met with Zeng Xueqin before.After Fang Yi finished writing his defense plan, he made an appointment to meet with Zeng Xueqin in the detention center.

In the blink of an eye, it has entered winter, and the weather is extremely cold, but even so, there is no snowfall.There was a row of lawyers standing outside the gate of the detention center, men and women, their necks shrunk from the cold, tightly wrapped in cotton coats, stomping their feet from time to time, sniffing their noses, and the only means of heating was cigarettes.

Some experts said that this year is a mild winter, and it is estimated that if he went to the gate of the detention center and shouted "Nuan Dong", he would be scolded to death if he was not beaten to death.

Conditional lawyers sit in the car blowing warm air, glance at the movements of the lawyers in front of the gate of the detention center from a distance, to determine whether the gate of the detention center has been opened, and are ready to carry their bags into the detention center at any time.

Fang Yi arrived early and lined up outside the gate of the detention center. The northwest wind blew his face like a knife from time to time. It was really cold. In less than half an hour, his face was already frozen.

The big iron gate of the detention center was finally opened wide, and the sound of the shaft under the big iron gate creaking and twisting sounded like a melody at this moment, which immediately attracted the attention of all the lawyers.

In the meeting room of the detention center, Fang Yi rubbed his frozen fingers, and then looked at Zeng Xueqin opposite.

Fang Yi always thought Mr. Zeng's name was a good one, and he worked hard for his own sake, but it was obvious that Mr. Zeng lived up to his name, and went out to work with fellow villagers before graduating from junior high school.Later, after a lot of hard work, suffered a lot, and suffered a lot, he gained a firm foothold in the fruit industry and earned the first pot of gold in his life.

Mr. Zeng's experience fully embodies that sentence: Heroes don't ask where they come from, but think about the reason for being rich.No one can get something for nothing and succeed casually (except of course some second generations).

"Brother, you and Lao Li are friends, and we are also friends. Let's put it this way, I will be sentenced to a few years in this case. You can just say it, and I am prepared." Air, giving people the feeling of boldness and righteousness.

Fang Yi had a good impression of him, and said seriously: "Mr. Zeng, I am going to give you a misdemeanor defense. I have read the case files. The main cause of Chen Zhihong's death was a coronary heart attack, but your punch induced his coronary heart attack. One of the reasons…”

Before he finished speaking, Zeng Xueqin interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Lawyer Fang, I believe you. You can do whatever you say. If I hadn't punched Old Chen, he wouldn't have chased me, and he wouldn't have had a coronary heart attack. So I admit it.

Although Lao Chen is my competitor, we are at odds with each other, but after all we have been fighting for so many years, we still have some feelings.And it was indeed my daughter-in-law who was wrong at the time, so I felt quite sorry for Lao Chen. " Zeng Xueqin said seriously.

"Well, I have communicated with the procuratorate, and their attitude is quite firm. They may suggest that the court sentence you to a fixed-term imprisonment of more than ten years. But I will plead less guilty and try to reduce the sentence." Fang Yidao.

"Okay, let's do it according to your plan." Zeng Xueqin nodded.

Zeng Xueqin's case started in the second week after Fang Yi's meeting.

When Fang Yi walked into the gate of the Intermediate Court, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. The last time he came here was to defend Ding Dashan’s crime of intentional injury. After a month or so, he walked into the court of the Intermediate Court again to defend Zeng Xueqin’s crime of intentional injury. , I hope this time there will be a good result.

In the Ninth Trial Chamber, there were three judges sitting on it. The female judge in the middle was the presiding judge. Fang Yi glanced at the procurator opposite, and Prosecutor Xiao sat at the first place.

Zeng Xueqin's wife, Yuan Fang, was sitting in the auditorium. She was still wearing makeup and powder, and the puff was too thick to make out what expression she had. There were many people sitting next to her, who might be Zeng Xueqin's friends.Someone from the Chen family also came and sat quietly in the back.It is said that the Zeng family gave Chen Zhihong's family a lot of money, so the Chen family chose to settle down.

As the gavel fell, the trial officially began.Zeng Xueqin sat on the defendant's bench, his expression was very calm, the pride on his face remained undiminished, and he raised his head.

After the previous procedures were completed, the public prosecutor began to read out the indictment.
