If you were asked to file a lawsuit, how come you were not found guilty?

Chapter 66: If you ask for 200 million, is it still considered blackmail?
At the entrance of the Public Prosecution Court.

As soon as they got off the car, two men in uniforms waved to them on the side of the road, which surprised the three of them.

After contacting them on the phone just now, the other party came out to pick them up when they arrived.

I was just thinking, is this public prosecutor so easy to talk to?

Unexpectedly, the other party is still waiting for them on the roadside?

"Hello, my name is Zhai Ming, and this is my assistant Cheng Liang."

Zhai Ming looks to be about 40 years old. He is about 1.8 meters tall and has a square face with Chinese characters. He looks very energetic.

Cheng Liang looks to be about the same age as Chang Jiahang. Although he is also 1.8 meters taller, his figure is obviously much slimmer, and his uniform looks a bit loose.

"Hello, Public Prosecutor Zhai, my name is Ren Zhen, this is Shi Hao, and this is my trainee lawyer Chang Jiahang."

The two shook hands, and they knew each other.

"Lawyer Ren's recent cases are very unusual."

Zhai Ming nodded to Shi Hao and Chang Jiahang and looked at Ren Zhen with interest: "I have a buddy who mentioned the name Ren Zhen to me several times. I didn't expect to see him alive so soon."

buddy?

Ren Zhen was confused.

He didn't even know that he still had acquaintances in the Public Prosecution Court?

"My buddy's name is Huang Jing."

Ren Zhen:.
"Go in and talk."

Seeing Ren Zhen's wonderful expression, Zhai Ming smiled and led them towards the office building:

"After your court hearing, this kid was depressed for a long time. He just told me two days ago that he had figured it out."

"And he thinks highly of you."

Ren Zhen wiped away the non-existent sweat.

Do you think highly of me?

Goodbye, it's not a good thing to be on the prosecutor's mind.

"application."

Di Ming's office is not big, but it is more than enough to seat five people.

After sitting down, Zhai Ming asked for the application form without saying a word.

"Don't rush into this, let's talk first."

Handing the application form to Cheng Liang, Cheng Liang lowered his head and read it.

Shi Hao became inexplicably nervous.

Although the prosecutor seemed polite, he wouldn't have rejected it outright like the judge yesterday, right?
"You've been to the court, haven't you?"

Ren Zhen nodded: "We have also communicated with the judge."

"Then why do you still come to us?"

Di Ming looked at Ren Zhen and then at Shi Hao.

"Because the law stipulates that the parties can file a complaint with the Public Prosecution Office or the court to initiate a retrial."

Ren Zhen smiled: "We are relatively free and want to fully exercise our rights."

Chang Jiahang, Shi Hao:? ! !

Is it because of this?

"As expected, he is very eloquent."

Zhai Ming smiled: "I know why you came. We have contacted the court to get their opinions."
Shi Hao held his breath.

Chang Jiahang felt his heart beat faster and became nervous.

My first case as a lawyer will be over before it even begins, right?
Ren Zhen took the thermos cup out of his bag calmly.

"It has nothing to do with us."

Hey!
Chang Jiahang cursed in his heart.

Can you speak without gasping?
Shi Hao breathed a sigh of relief.Ren Zhen opened the lid of the cup and put it aside.

I forgot to take half a glass of cold water again, my memory sucks
He didn't panic at all.

From the moment Zhai Ming stood on the roadside, it could be seen that he must have taken this case very seriously and had other ideas.

Otherwise, just like yesterday, just let them wait outside.

Although not absolute, sometimes behavior can indeed represent attitude.

"So you also think that Shi Hao's behavior is not extortion?"

Shi Hao pricked up his ears and began to look forward to Di Ming's answer.

"I didn't say that."

Zhai Ming waved his hand: "I just think that there may be some problems with this case, but it's hard to say what the specific problems are.

No, the reason why we meet is to discuss things. "

Di Ming looked at Shi Hao: "As the person involved, what are your thoughts now?"

"Of course I think it's unfair!"

Shi Hao took a deep breath: "I am just exercising my normal rights protection methods as a father and a consumer. Why should I be put in jail?"

"But you asked for 200 million. The Consumer Rights Protection Law doesn't support that much, right?"

Zhai Ming said.

"That's not what I want!"

Shi Hao retorted: "It was Youen who took the initiative to contact me and said that he was willing to compensate me for another sum of money and asked me not to talk about this matter again in the future. Moreover, the amount was discussed by us when we sat down together, not what I wanted!"

"Um"

Di Ming nodded.

"And who said asking for 200 million must be extortion?"

Chang Jiahang on the side couldn't help it and muttered softly.

"Oh?"

Di Ming glanced at the trainee lawyer: "What's your opinion?"

what?
Chang Jiahang didn't expect that this could be heard, so he looked at Ren Zhen in a panic.

"Tell me."

Ren Zhen didn't mean to blame him: "The public prosecutor is here to listen to opinions today. Anyone can say it, right?"

Zhai Ming smiled and looked at Chang Jiahang: "Tell me what you think, maybe I can listen?"

After being encouraged by Ren Zhen, Chang Jiahang no longer hid it.

After organizing it in his mind, he spoke:

“Although the Consumer Rights Protection Law stipulates the basic calculation method for the amount of rights protection, in the civil field, the consensus of both parties always comes first. As long as both parties express the same intention, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, as long as the legal rights of the third party are not infringed. Rights and interests, no matter how much money you give, it cannot be considered a crime.

Blackmail and rights claims are not the same thing at all.Although the boundaries between the two are somewhat blurred in reality and are easily confused, in theory they are completely different things.Extortion is a criminal offense, while claiming compensation is a civil rights protection.

As a consumer, if you buy a defective product, or even your child gets sick because of their product, of course you have the right to ask the other party to compensate for the loss. Isn't this an obvious civil rights protection?

How could it be determined that Brother Hao Shihao was extorting money based solely on the amount of 200 million? "

Shi Hao nodded wildly.

"Sounds reasonable."

Di Ming also nodded: "Then how do you think you can distinguish between extortion and rights protection claims?"

"Isn't this simple? Just look at the components of extortion."

When it came to professional matters, Chang Jiahang relaxed:
“The criminal law stipulates that those who extort public or private property should be punished accordingly, but there is no definition of extortion.

Although various behaviors of extortion have been summarized in relevant documents, after summarizing them and extracting commonalities, the meaning of extortion in the general theory of criminal law can be seen. "

Chang Jiahang was full of confidence: "I don't want to say whether Shi Hao had the purpose of illegally possessing the 200 million yuan. Let's just talk about his behavior. He didn't use threats or coercion, right?"

"There's no threat at all, where's the blackmail?"
