Lawyer

Chapter 577 Manslaughter
On this day, Fang Yi had just returned from a meeting in the detention center, and the legal assistant of the litigation department sent him a message. A client came to the law firm and asked Fang Yi to handle her husband's case by name. It was said that it was a case of intentional homicide.

The lawyer's fee for the negotiation between the lawyer and the client is 10 yuan, but the other party will only sign the contract after talking with Fang Yi.The lawyer discussing the case had to contact the paralegal and asked Fang Yi to meet the client in the conference room.

Sitting in the conference room was a woman in her 40s, dressed in ordinary clothes. Her cheeks were red, her skin was rough, and her body was strong. She knew that she often went to work in the fields.Her name is Wu Caiying, and she is the person Fang Yi wants to meet.

"Ms. Wu, hello, I'm Fang Yi." Fang Yi sat down and looked at Wu Caiying: "My colleague said that you want to ask me to entrust a case?"

"Yes. Lawyer Fang, my husband killed someone and is now being held in a detention center. The procuratorate accused my husband of intentional injury..." Wu Caiying was anxious and spoke even more urgently.

"Ms. Wu, please speak slowly, don't worry. How did you find it?" Fang Yi had to control the rhythm of the conversation, otherwise he would not understand and waste time if the other party kept on talking.

Zhou Ying took a pen and paper and sat aside to take notes.

"I'm sorry, Lawyer Fang. I'm in a hurry. I found you after I saw reports about you on the Internet. Let me tell you from the beginning..." Wu Caiying picked up the paper cup in front of her, took a sip of tea, After calming down, he told the story of the incident.

Wu Caiying's husband is Shan Guangquan. The couple contracted an orchard near the village. The old couple is in charge of the orchard management, and the son is in charge of online sales. It's hot and makes some money.The year before last, the couple bought a big three-bedroom house for their son in the county for their wedding.

On weekdays, Shan Guangquan and his wife live in the orchard. First, it is convenient to take care of the orchard;

One night in September last year, after Shan Guangquan and his wife fell asleep, they suddenly heard a dog barking in the orchard, and then the dog barked miserably, as if it had been beaten.

Just as Shan Guangquan was about to get up and go out to check, he heard someone calling their husband and wife's names outside the house.Shan Guangquan didn't agree, he put on his clothes hastily, and went to the outer room to check, only to see a figure standing in front of the door of the room, pulling open the screen on the window, reaching in to open the window.

In desperation, Shan Guangquan picked up the pole used to prop the door, went up and hit it, but because of nervousness, he smashed it on the window, scaring the opponent away.

When Wu Caiying in the back room heard the movement, she ran out with her clothes on and scissors in hand. By the time Shan Guangquan chased him out of the house with the top door handle, he had already disappeared.

Because the orchard is relatively remote, the mobile phone signal is sometimes cut off, and it is impossible to call the police. To be safe, Shan Guangquan went back to the house and brought a homemade dagger. After locking the door with his wife Wu Caiying, he went to the village director's house for help and called the police.Then the village director called someone to prepare to go to the orchard site.

Wu Caiying and her husband Shan Guangquan returned to the orchard first. When the couple came to the gate of their orchard, they found a dark shadow shaking in the orchard.

Shan Guangquan drew out his dagger, walked ahead into the orchard, and saw a figure dangling in front of his house.This person was Yan Jianshun who was called by the village director. Because he was relatively close to the orchard, he went to the orchard first, and came in when he saw that the gate of the orchard was unlocked. He waited in front of the house for Shan Guangquan to come back.

Because it was dark and the lights were not turned on in the orchard, Shan Guangquan failed to recognize Yan Jianshun and mistook him for the gangster who had just arrived.Seeing him walking towards him, Shan Guangquan mistakenly thought that the other party was going to attack him, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he quickly walked a few steps and stabbed Yan Jianshun in the chest with the dagger in his hand.

After being stabbed, Yan Jianshun fell to the ground. At this moment, the village director led people to arrive. When he saw Yan Jianshun lying on the ground, he was shocked and told Shan Guangquan that he was the one who called Yan Jianshun to help.At this time, Shan Guangquan was also dumbfounded.

When the crowd rushed to send Yan Jianshun to the county hospital, he had already stopped breathing due to hemorrhagic shock.

"According to your statement, your husband Shan Guangquan stabbed Yan Jianshun because he mistook the victim for the person who wanted to break into your house?" Fang Yi looked at him.

"Yes, the night was cloudy and there was no moon. Both of us were very nervous, so my husband killed Yan Jianshun by mistake. During this time, I have already negotiated with Yan's family and gave them the house in the county as compensation. This Our family couldn't survive the incident. Everyone in the village advised me that this was fate, and my husband should be doomed.

I asked several lawyers, and some said it could be defended as self-defense, while others said it was intentional injury, because if someone died, he would probably be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of more than ten years, or even life imprisonment or death penalty.

Lawyer Fang, do you think my husband will be sentenced to life or death? Tears welled up in Wu Caiying's eyes.

"I haven't seen the case file so far, so it's hard to make a judgment. According to what you just said, your husband must have committed a crime. Since the procuratorate transferred the case to the intermediate court, the proposed sentence should be more than ten years. I feel that the court sentenced The chances of your husband being indefinite or executed are not too great.

Of course, the premise is that what you say is the truth, and you have not concealed the truth. "Fang Yi thought for a while and said.

"Lawyer Fang, what I said is not half a lie. Every sentence is the truth. I know that you are an expert in criminal matters, and my husband's case will trouble you. You must help me, otherwise our family will be ruined." Wu Caiying's voice was crying, it could be seen that she was really anxious.

Early the next morning, Fang Yi and Zhou Ying went to the detention center to meet Shan Guangquan. Shan Guangquan was tall, with a loyal face. It may be because of managing the orchard all the year round. The skin on his neck and face was dark and red, and his skin was rough.

Shan Guangquan's description of the facts of the case was consistent with that of his wife Wu Caiying. He was the first to stab Yan Jianshun to death out of fear.

Then Fang Yi and Zhou Ying went to the intermediate court to review the papers.

In the office, Zhou Ying frowned, looking seriously at the key information of the Shan Guangquan case written on the whiteboard.She scratched her head and looked at Fang Yi: "Lawyer Fang, can we defend from the perspective of excessive defense?"

"Tell me your reason." Fang Yi put down his teacup and looked at her.

"This is how I understand it. On the night of the incident, Shan Guang's family did have unidentified people who tried to break into his house.

When Shan Guangquan and his wife went out to ask for help and returned to the orchard, they found someone hanging around in front of their house. , Shan Guangquan chose to strike first, but killed Yan Jianshun by mistake.

Although the defendant Shan Guangquan had deliberate intentions, it was to protect his own legitimate interests.Do you think this explanation makes sense? "Zhou Ying came to Fang Yi, added some water to Fang Yi's cup, and asked.
