Lawyer

Chapter 128 Sentence!

"The court debate is over. According to the provisions of Article 160 of the "Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China", the appellant will now make the final statement. The appellant Cao Yueshan will make the final statement." said the presiding judge.

"Respected collegial panel..." Cao Yueshan felt that his defender was more qualified than the public prosecutor, but he didn't know exactly what he said. He only knew that Fang Yi said more than the public prosecutor.

"Now the court is adjourned for 10 minutes, and the verdict will be announced in court after the collegial panel deliberates. Please ask the bailiff to take the defendant out of the courtroom." With the fall of the gavel, the three judges exited the courtroom.

Fang Yi leaned back on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief, the trial was finally over.

During the court session just now, his head and the pen in his hand didn't stop. He kept memorizing the female prosecutor's speech and thinking about countermeasures. Now when he relaxed, he suddenly felt that his brain couldn't move, and his whole body was weak.

When his stomach growled, Fang Yi checked the time on his phone, it was already [-]:[-], and he had been in court for nearly five hours without having lunch.

Fang Yi stood up and was about to stretch his muscles, when Qian Linlin walked over quickly.

"Lawyer Fang, you've worked hard! Do you think this case has a chance of winning?" Qian Linlin asked eagerly with a look of expectation.

"It's hard to say now, but I think there is still a chance. The judge will pronounce the sentence in court in a while, and I'm waiting." Fang Yi said.

How did Fang Yi respond to this? The trial is over, the judge is the one who makes the final decision, the lawyer just tried his best, and now he can only do his best to obey the destiny.However, Fang Yi still has some confidence.

Fang Yi's calmness at this time made Qian Linlin feel more at ease than what he said.Seeing what Fang Yi said, Qian Linlin thanked her again, and returned to the gallery to wait for the verdict.

While everyone was waiting anxiously, the clerk suddenly got up and said, "Everyone please stand up, and the presiding judge and judges are invited to enter the courtroom."

As the members of the collegial panel took their seats, the presiding judge rang the gavel: "Please sit down, and the court session will continue now, please ask the bailiffs to bring Cao Yueshan to the courtroom.

The case has been judged by the collegial panel.In view of the opinions of the prosecution and the defense, combined with the focus of the dispute in this case, and based on the facts and evidence of this case, this court makes the following comments:  …

The appellant, Cao Yueshan, committed fraud when signing the contract with Lianda Company, but the new residential construction project of Honghai Company actually existed and had a certain amount of initial investment. The security deposit collected was mainly used to repay the debts formed by the project operation and the company’s daily expenses. The evidence for finding the appellant's purpose of illegal possession was insufficient.

The case proposed by Cao Yueshan and his defenders is a civil dispute, and the appellant's grounds for appeal and defense opinions that the crime of contract fraud is not constituted are accepted by this court.

In accordance with the provisions of Article 190, Paragraph 220, Item 230, Article [-], Paragraph [-], Item [-], and Article [-] of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, Cao Yueshan was acquitted according to law. "

After the verdict was read, Fang Yi felt relieved and smiled, 20 is really not easy to earn!

Cao Yueshan was released in court, surrounded by Qian Linlin, relatives and friends.Cao Yueshan held Fang Yi's hand: "Lawyer Fang, thank you!" His hands were shaking with excitement, and tears could be seen faintly in his eyes.

"This is the result of joint efforts. This is not a place to talk. Let's go back and talk." Fang Yi smiled.

"Yes, let's go back, let's play it a thousand times to get rid of bad luck." Qian Linlin said excitedly.

Why!Why didn't anyone suggest to eat first? It's all hungry!Fang Yi cursed.

After everyone left the court, they calmed down and began to yell about eating. Like Fang Yi, they were also very hungry.

With so many people coming to help her out, Qian Linlin naturally couldn't treat everyone badly, so she hurriedly found the high-end restaurants in the city and called them. After booking a table, the group went to the restaurant in a mighty manner.

After four o'clock in the afternoon, Qian Linlin sent Fang Yi back to the law firm. Before getting out of the car, she expressed her thanks again and again.

Watching Qian Linlin's car drive away and disappear into the street, Fang Yi suddenly realized that there seemed to be something he forgot to say, right, when will I give the remaining 20 yuan!
A week later, Fang Yi sent a WeChat message to Qian Linlin, asking about the legal fees in the later period, but the other party did not reply.Because there is no agreement, it is a gentleman's agreement between the two parties, Fang Yi can't force it, and only hopes that Qian Linlin and his wife can fulfill their promise.

Recently, Zhengyi Law Firm's business has been booming, and the legal aid cases are basically divided equally between Chu Huai and Zhao Zhongcheng.The orthopedic case of the County Hospital was handed over to Chu Huai by Sun Zhengyi. Although Chu Huai had average professional ability, he had a good interpersonal relationship and quickly accepted several cases. Although the targets of the cases were relatively small, he could not collect many lawyers Money, but can't eat meat, and finally drink some soup, it's still ok.

Fang Yi has been busy with his own cases recently, and Sun Zhengyi assigned him fewer cases, and more of them were responsible for receiving legal consultations from clients and consultants.In this way, the chances of signing the bill are much less, but people can't stay idle, answering the phone or going to the legal counsel unit all day long.

On this day, Sister Lan asked Fang Yi to have dinner at Taiyueju, the most famous restaurant in the county after get off work. Fang Yi happily went there, thinking about asking Sister Lan about Qian Linlin's follow-up legal fees.

In the private room, there were only Sister Lan and Fang Yi. After ordering, Fang Yi saw that Sister Lan was hesitating to speak, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Brother, I wasn't the one who asked you out this time, it was Qian Linlin and the others. But she felt ashamed to see you, so she entrusted me to discuss the follow-up legal fees with you." Sister Lan's face was a little unnatural, The decisive and experienced strong woman suddenly became so indecisive, which made Fang Yi more sure of the guess in his heart.

"Sister Lan, does it mean that Ms. Qian thinks that the 20 lawyer's fee is too much? It's okay. If she thinks it's too much, she can ask for a higher amount. It's easy to discuss." Although Fang Yi was upset, everything was done, and the two parties were gentlemen again. A contract, no matter how much it is, is better than nothing, maybe this is what it feels like to die when the goods arrive on the ground.

"Qian Linlin didn't mean that. Her family has been in trouble recently. I want to pay you the follow-up expenses after a while." Sister Lan said.

"Are you in trouble? Could it be that Lianda Company is suing his husband again?" Fang Yi thought for a while.

"It's more troublesome than this. Her husband borrowed a lot of money from outside for the new residential project. It was about 200 million. Now the other party came to ask for the bill, and her family couldn't get the money. They sued her husband. All company accounts and personal accounts were blocked.

Her family's car was also taken away to cover the debt.Dissatisfied with you, her house is ready to be sold, and the couple have now moved to Linlin's parents' house. "Sister Lan said.
