Lawyer

Just as Feng Lin got home, his cell phone rang.It was Li Xiangrui's assistant who called. He has been in constant contact with Feng Lin. Feng Lin doesn't trust him, but thinks that he can consult with both sides, verify each other's words, and hear who is more reasonable.

"Hello, Assistant Liu." Feng Lin said after connecting the phone.

"Mr. Feng, has your son's case been judged?" Assistant Liu asked.

"Sentenced, the court sentenced my son to five years in prison." Feng Lin said truthfully.

"Five years? So many years! You have to appeal. If we lawyer Li represents your son's case, it is impossible to sentence him for so many years..." Assistant Liu flickered.

"Then, you mean that my son's case still has room for revision?" Feng Lin asked curiously.

"That's great! If our lawyer Li Xiangrui represents your son's case, the Jedi will change the sentence and let your son spend a few years in jail." Assistant Liu said passionately.

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow morning, let's talk." Feng Lin was moved by the words.

At this time, Fang Yi and Zhou Ying had already returned to the law firm, and they didn't know anything about Feng Lin's visit to Li Xiangrui.

"Lawyer Fang, did the intermediate court give a lighter sentence?" Zhou Ying asked as she walked into Fang Yi's office.

On the way back, Zhou Ying thought for a long time. According to the "Criminal Law", the defendant Feng Danian should be sentenced to more than ten years. Why was he sentenced to five years in prison?The judgment of the intermediate court made her very puzzled, and she even began to suspect that there was something wrong with the knowledge she had learned.

At the beginning, Fang Yi suggested that Feng Lin find the victim to see if the victim could provide a letter of forgiveness, but the victim avoided seeing him and ignored Feng Lin at all.To be honest, Fang Yi was also a little confused by the judgment of the Intermediate Court, unable to understand the judge's thinking.

"I think the judge may have made a mistake!" Fang Yi sat on the chair and thought for a while.

"Wrong?" Zhou Ying looked at Fang Yi in surprise.

"Yes, I can't think of any other reason besides that.

Feng Danian robbed 15 yuan, which was a huge amount. According to Article 260 ([-]) of the Criminal Law, he should be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of more than ten years, life imprisonment or death penalty, and a fine or confiscation of property.

The Intermediate People's Court held that Feng Danian had a good attitude in pleading guilty after his return to the case, showed remorse, and all the stolen money was recovered and returned to the owner without causing economic losses. There is no problem in giving Feng Danian a lighter punishment.However, the penalty was reduced in the specific sentencing, which obviously confused the boundary between "lighter punishment" and "mitigated punishment".

In the absence of any statutory mitigating circumstances in this case, the intermediate court sentenced the sentence below the statutory penalty, which violated the provisions of Article 60 of the Criminal Law No. [-], and it was an improper sentencing.

This is very beneficial to Feng Danian, and it doesn't matter to us. If the procuratorate doesn't protest Feng Danian, it will be regarded as copying, but I estimate that the procuratorate will lodge a protest in all likelihood. "Fang Yi said.

"Oh, I'm relieved when you say that. I thought the knowledge I learned was outdated." Zhou Ying said with a smile, "If the procuratorate files a protest, how can we charge the lawyer's fee? I'll go and prepare for the entrustment formalities first."

"Just pay half of the lawyer's fee of the first instance." Fang Yi said.

As Fang Yi expected, not long after the criminal judgment of Feng Danian's robbery was issued, the procuratorate filed a protest to the Provincial High Court on the grounds that the defendant Feng Danian had robbed a huge amount and the original sentence was abnormally light.

Feng Lin didn't come to Fang Yi, but under Assistant Liu's persuasion, he entrusted the second trial of his son Feng Danian's robbery case to Li Xiangrui.

Soon the second trial opened, and the presiding judge pronounced the sentence in court.

The provincial high school believes that the facts identified by the intermediate court are clear, the evidence is reliable and sufficient, and the conviction is accurate.The trial procedure is legal.But the sentencing was inappropriate and should be corrected.In the end, the sentencing part of the judgment of the Intermediate Court was revoked, and the defendant Feng Da Nian was sentenced to 12 years in prison, deprived of political rights for three years, and fined RMB 1.

After the verdict was pronounced, Feng Lin in the auditorium was dumbfounded, and the defendant Feng Danian also slumped on a chair.

Afterwards, Feng Lin went to find Li Xiangrui, but Li Xiangrui put on a posture that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, denied that he had said that the sentence could be reduced, and put the responsibility on Assistant Liu, who went into hiding.

His son Feng Danian's sentence was commuted from five years to 12 years. Feng Lin couldn't take it anymore and went to the Judiciary Bureau to complain, but couldn't produce any evidence. Finally, he struggled for more than a month, but failed.

After Zhou Ying learned about this, she kept thinking of Amitabha Buddha in her heart. Thanks to what Fang Yi told Mr. Feng before, if she fooled the parties for signing the bill, she might be sued in the end.

In the afternoon, Fang Yi received a call from Li Mingbo. The latter came to the city to hold a court session and would not go back at night. He wanted to invite Fang Yi to dinner and introduce a friend to Fang Yi by the way.

In the evening, after Fang Yi took Xiao Zhi home, Xiao Zhi went to the bedroom to review after dinner. Fang Yi cleaned up and went out.

More than half an hour later, Fang Yi walked into a private room of a restaurant. There were two people sitting in the private room, one was Li Mingbo, and the other was a middle-aged man wearing a high-end suit.

"Lawyer Fang, this is my old colleague Xia Jun. It turned out that he was also a lawyer in the county, and now he is a partner in a medium-sized law firm in the city.

Lawyer Xia, this is the lawyer Fang Yi I mentioned to you earlier. "Li Mingbo saw Fang Yi enter the door, got up and introduced.

"Lawyer Xia, hello." Fang Yi said.

"Hello, Lawyer Fang, I have long heard that Wanhua United Law Firm has a lawyer Fang Yi who is good at criminal cases. I didn't expect that you and Lao Li are colleagues." Xia Gang shook hands with Fang Yi and smiled.

"Sit down and chat. I'm going to treat you today. Don't rob me." Li Mingbo was very excited: "Lawyer Fang, I came to the city to hold a trial today. I happened to meet Lawyer Xia in the court. Lawyer Xia admires you very much. I want to meet you. It just so happens that I want to invite you to dinner, so we are all together."

"Lao Li said that you and him are colleagues. I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it!" Xia Gang laughed.

After the three of them ordered the food, they chatted for a while. After the food and wine were served, they drank three glasses of wine and the atmosphere became lively.

"Lawyer Fang, how do you feel at Wanhua United Law Firm?" Xia Jun put down his glass and asked.

"Very good." Fang Yi didn't know what he meant by asking.

"Wanhua United Law Firm is a big law firm in our province. It is ranked among the top three, so the competition must be fierce?" Xia Jun said.

"I feel okay. The law firm has developed very well in the past few years. It is now the number one firm both in the city and in the province." Fang Yi smiled.

"Lawyer Fang, are you interested in making a move?" Xia Jun asked suddenly.

"Move? How?" Fang Yi looked at him.

"Our law firm has also developed rapidly in the past few years. Now there are more than 70 lawyers. Although our law firm does not have as many lawyers as yours, the various resources are still quite good.

Now our law firm is recruiting talented people, and we have contacts with well-known lawyers in the city. Do you know Mr. Li Xiangrui?Very famous, often appearing on TV, he is a partner of our law firm.I wonder if you are interested in transferring to our law firm?Let's form a team together. After Xia Jun finished speaking, he looked at Fang Yi expectantly.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any plans to change offices yet." Fang Yi smiled.
