Chapter 40

Within a few days, Ren Zhen and Du Jingjing received notice of the court hearing.

Looking at the dense materials on the table, Ren Zhen held his chin in one hand and fell into deep thought.

In the past few days, he has studied all relevant cases.

According to the judgment habits of the competent court, if nothing unexpected happens, Zhao Kai will definitely have to go in for a period of time.

As Zhao Kai's defense lawyer, although he didn't want to admit it, Ren Zhen also knew that the drunk driving that night did not lead to a car accident and did not cause any harmful consequences.

However, Zhao Kai's blood alcohol content test result was too high, far exceeding the standard for drunk driving.

Based on this alone, the judge will definitely not be lenient when sentencing.

After some calculation in his mind, Ren Zhen estimated that Zhao Kai would be detained for at least three months.

Although criminal detention is not as serious as fixed-term imprisonment, it is not much different for ordinary people.

They are all going to be locked up. Aren’t they going to jail wherever they are?
Three months may not seem like much, but the blow to Zhao Kai's family was devastating.

Judging from her interactions with Du Jingjing, she has basically lost the ability to work outside the home in the past few years since giving birth.

If Zhao Kai really goes in, do you want Du Jingjing to go out and find a job, washing dishes or making milk tea?
And economics aside, what about the children?

It's really troublesome.
Ren Zhen rubbed his temples and felt a little headache.

Not only must the sentence be correct and lighter, but the family of the person concerned must also be considered. This is too difficult!

Ren Zhen couldn't help but miss the days of being a lawyer in another world.

For some things in law, predecessors had already put in too much effort, and by his time, many things could be said to be just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of their labor.

As long as the request is reasonable, both the prosecutor and the judge will consider it.

If this case of Zhao Kai were in that world, there would be almost [-]% chance that it would be a suspended sentence.

But here, it's good not to judge the situation.

Eighty percent?

probation?

Ren Zhen stopped rubbing his temples with his fingers.

What if it’s less severe than probation?
is it possible?
A somewhat crazy idea popped into his mind.

court day.

H City DC District Court.

Clerks, prosecutors, defendants, and defenders entered the scene one after another.

"In order to maintain order in the court and ensure the smooth conduct of the trial, the following court discipline is hereby read."

"During the trial of the case, mobile phones and other communication tools should be turned off."

"No one is allowed to record or videotape without the permission of the court."

"."

"Everyone stand up and invite the presiding judge to enter the court!"

Under the gaze of everyone present, a female judge who looked to be in her forties and had short shoulder-length hair walked in.

"All sit down."

The judge sat down on the bench: "Since the defendant Zhao Kai has pleaded guilty and accepted punishment, this case will be tried under simplified procedures. I am Xu Yangfan, the presiding judge in this case."

"Defendant Zhao Kai, does he have any objection to the application of summary procedures to this case?"

"what?"

It was the first time for Zhao Kai to enter the court, and he was already very nervous.

When his name was suddenly called, he was a little at a loss: "No, no, no."

"Okay, I will be the sole judge in this case. Do you want to apply for recusal of the relevant persons in the court?"

at the same time.

In Xiaopo Station, Zhang Ziyu’s live broadcast room started on time.

In her live broadcast room, although netizens often ridicule her as an entertainment anchor, the content of her live broadcast is all related to the law.Especially the court trials of some hot cases, Zhang Ziyu will basically never miss them and will observe and learn with fellow water friends.

On the screen at this time, it was the trial court where Ren Zhen and others were.

Since Wen Xuan's second-instance verdict, Zhang Ziyu has been paying attention to relevant news on the Internet.

Whether it was Ren Zhen’s post-court interview or Wen Xuan’s later interview on Fruit Channel, Zhang Ziyu didn’t miss a single one.

After all, this case has had a much greater impact on people in the industry like her than on the masses.

The strange thing is that when she searched for lawyer Ren Zhen on the Internet, she could find very little information.

Excluding anything related to Wen Xuan's case, it can be said that there is almost none.

As for the law firm where Ren Zhen works, she also did a simple investigation and found that it was only a small law firm.

There is no area of ​​specialization, no major cases have been done, and there are not a few partners with enough weight to take charge.

This is strange.

How could a lawyer of Ren Zhen's caliber end up in such a small firm?

How could it not leave some traces online?

Zhang Ziyu was very curious.

So after discovering that Ren Zhen's name appeared in a preview of a live broadcast of a court trial, Zhang Ziyu immediately set an alarm.

Because it was a temporary broadcast, there were not many people in the live broadcast room.

But Zhang Ziyu didn't care.

Watching live broadcasts of court hearings has become her habit, as has live streaming.

Someone would watch with her, and she could occasionally chat with the barrage.

There was no one in the live broadcast room, so it didn't matter.

inside the courtroom.

Boom!
The gavel in Judge Xu Yangfan's hand fell.

"The court investigation will begin below, and the prosecutor will be invited to read out the indictment."

On the prosecution bench.

Wang Feng stood up and started reading without saying a word.

"The defendant Zhao Kai, male, was born on X month XX, 19XX year. He was criminally detained on X month XX, 20XX year on suspicion of dangerous driving. With the approval of this court
After investigation in accordance with the law, it was found that at around 20 a.m. on June XX, 1XX, the defendant Zhao Kai was driving a car drunk and was stopped by the traffic police on the XX Road-XX section. After examination by the Physical Evidence Identification Center of the H City Law Enforcement Department, Zhao Kai’s blood was found to be The ethanol content is 147mg/100ml.

The above facts are confirmed by evidence such as photos of the scene, interrogation transcripts of criminal suspects, and blood alcohol test report No. 20 [436XX] from the XX Notary Public Office.

The above-mentioned criminal facts are clear, and the evidence is reliable and sufficient, which is sufficient to establish it.

This court believes that the behavior of the defendant Zhao Kai has violated the provisions of the second paragraph of Article 133 of the Criminal Law of our country and is suspected of dangerous driving. According to the provisions of Article 176 of the Criminal Procedure Law of our country, we file a public prosecution and ask the court to sentence him in accordance with the law! "

Dangerous driving?
In the live broadcast room, Zhang Ziyu had some doubts in her heart.

It sounds like drunk driving is unavoidable and jail time is inevitable.

But in the criminal field, it's not a big case.

In this kind of case, the legal fees will not be much.

How could Ren Zhen, such a powerful lawyer, take on such a small case?

From the last intentional homicide case with a suspended death sentence to the current drunken case, the span was a bit big, and Zhang Ziyu was a little dazed for a while.

Could it be that this lawyer Ren likes to do charity and specially selects those poor people with little money to help them with lawsuits?
Thinking of the news circulating on the Internet during this period that the legal fee for Wen Xuan's case was only 2 yuan, this idea suddenly popped into my mind.

Zhang Ziyu immediately shook her head, laughing at herself for being too naive.

People die for money.

In Wen Xuan's case, even a newly practicing lawyer would need at least six figures to start.

2 yuan or something, it should be a gimmick, right?

How could a lawyer do such a stupid thing?
This drunken case must have been carried out because the client gave too much, right?
