Lawyer

Chapter 361 People who commit crimes cannot live!
Before the trial, Fang Yi carefully considered Cheng Wu's sentencing proposal.If the victim Hua Cheng had not died, Fang Yi could still fight for not to prosecute or be exempted from criminal punishment, but now that the victim Hua Cheng committed suicide, it is impossible for Cheng Wu not to be sentenced, so Fang Yi thought twice and suggested that the court give Cheng Wu Wu probation.

……

After the adjournment, Fang Yi began to tidy up the case files on the table. His heart was always hanging, not knowing what the collegial panel would decide.Li Hua, who was sitting in the public gallery, was also uneasy. She was in a panic, wondering if the judge would change the sentence.

After 10 minutes, the collegiate judge walked into the courtroom.

"The court session will continue now, please ask the bailiff to bring the appellant Cheng Wu to court.

The case has been judged by the collegial panel.In response to 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, Cheng Wu, intimidated others and caused them to commit suicide. The circumstances were abominable, and his behavior constituted the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble. After he was brought to justice, he truthfully confessed his crime, which is a confession and can be given a lighter punishment according to law.

The facts ascertained in the original judgment were basically clear and the evidence was indeed sufficient, but the characterization was inappropriate and should be corrected in accordance with the law.According to the law, the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble should be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of less than five years, criminal detention or public surveillance. Based on the criminal facts and consequences of this case, as well as Cheng Wu's sentencing circumstances, the judgment is as follows:
[-]. Revoke the main text of the criminal judgment of the court of first instance: The defendant Cheng Wu committed the crime of illegal detention and was sentenced to three years in prison.

[-]. The appellant (defendant in the original trial) Cheng Wu committed the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and was sentenced to one year and six months in prison. "

Although the result of the verdict was quite different from the sentence suggested by Fang Yi, it was within Fang Yi's expectation. After all, the victim's death had something to do with Cheng Wu, and it was not easy for the court to grant a suspended sentence.

Li Hua in the auditorium had complex eyes, and kept muttering: six months a year...

Although this sentence was not what she wanted, it was half the sentence of the first-instance court, so it was not in vain to appeal.

When Fang Yi walked out of the courtroom, Li Hua was standing in the corridor. Seeing him coming out, he immediately greeted him.

"Lawyer Fang, I heard that there is still a retrial procedure. If he applies for retrial, does Cheng Wu still have a chance..." Li Hua stared at Fang Yi and asked.

“Personally, I don’t think there is much hope of applying for retrial.

In addition, the one-and-a-half-year prison term, after deducting the more than three months in custody before, has about one year and three months to serve. If he behaves better, I am afraid that the result of the retrial has not yet come out. released.

Of course, this is my suggestion, if you want to try..." Fang Yi thought for a while.

After hearing Fang Yi's words, Li Hua gave up completely: "I understand. Thank you, Lawyer Fang."

Sitting in the car, Fang Yi took out his mobile phone, called Bai Hai, and told him the verdict.Bai Hai actually didn't have much hope for the second trial. When he learned that Cheng Wu's case had been changed to one year and six months, his heart was moved. In his opinion, this result was already very good. After all, the victim died. Impossible not to go to jail.

One day in mid-July, Hua Liancheng was reading documents in the cool office when Wan Kefa walked in.

"Lao Hua, Lawyer Zhao's criminal case has come to an end!" Wan Kefa said with a smile.

Hua Liancheng reluctantly took out a copy of the verdict and threw it to him: "Look for yourself!"

"Hahaha, how about it, let me tell you, pay me, old man!" Wan Kefa looked at Hua Liancheng with a smile.

"Tch, the birthday star is old and worthless! How old is he, and he is still staring at money every day! Here you are!" Hua Liancheng threw out an envelope as he said.

Wan Kefa took the envelope and went out with a smile.

As soon as Fang Yi came back from a meeting at the detention center, Wan Kefa called him into the office.

"Lawyer Fang, this is for you." Wan Kefa handed a red envelope to Fang Yi: "Don't think it's too little, 2000 yuan. This is the case research fee given by Hua Liancheng.

In addition, the Litigation Department went to the buffet tonight, and it was the same one last time, so I had to go. "Wan Kefa is in a good mood.

"Boss, is there any happy event? Why did you think of inviting everyone to a buffet?" Fang Yi smiled.

"It's not me who treats everyone to a buffet, but Director Hua. Do you remember the case seminar we attended last time?" Wan Kefa asked.

"Is it the poisoning case in that village, and the verdict has come down?" Fang Yi asked.

"Well, the defendant Zhou Yue'e was sentenced to death with a reprieve. God's crimes are still forgiven, but people's crimes cannot live!
Let's not mention her. Director Hua is in a good mood today, so he pays for dinner. "Wan Kefa said.

Fang Yi was taken aback, did Director Hua throw money randomly when he was in a good mood?What the hell is this!He didn't believe what the fat old man said. It must be the fat old man who dug a hole for Director Hua. It's not sure how the money came from.

This morning, Fang Yi was staring at the business group waiting to receive a case when his cell phone rang suddenly.It was Peng Huayan who called. Ever since her husband Zou Qiang's case was closed, Peng Huayan hadn't contacted Fang Yi again.Fang Yi felt a little surprised by the sudden call this time, not knowing what she was doing.

"Hello, Ms. Peng." Fang Yi said after answering the phone.

"Hello, Lawyer Fang. Excuse me, do you have time tonight? I would like to treat you to dinner, and I have something to ask you for advice." Peng Huayan's gentle voice came from the phone.

Peng Huayan is beautiful. That kind of beauty is not only beautiful in appearance, but also not only in shape, but also in beauty from inside to outside. That kind of beauty is supported by connotation, which is completely different from the beauty in the wind and dust. It's easy to make a good impression on people, especially men.So Fang Yi has a deep impression on her, but that's all.

"There is no arrangement for the evening." Fang Yi said.

"Okay, let's go to International Building, Tan Jiacai at seven o'clock in the evening. See you soon!" Peng Huayan said.

After putting down the phone, Fang Yi picked up his teacup and was going to the tea room when he saw the door of the director's office opened, and Zhou Ying walked over quickly.

"Lawyer Fang, the boss is here." Zhou Ying smiled.

Fang Yi was startled, immediately put down his teacup, and followed Zhou Ying to the director's office.

"Boss, lawyer Fang is here." Zhou Ying said.

Fang Yi found that besides the fat old man and Xiao Zhou, Lawyer Qian was also in the office.

Lawyer Qian’s name is Qian Wen, female, 27 years old, looks weak and weak, has been working in the litigation department since graduating from university, initially as a trainee lawyer, and later became a full-time lawyer. I don't want to bear too much case pressure, and my daily work mainly focuses on small cases and legal aid cases.

Lawyer Qian Wen has a small reputation within the team, and is jokingly called a lawyer who is "professional and dedicated" to legal aid cases.There are two more legal aid lawyers like Lawyer Qian in the Litigation Department.In Wankefa's view, lawyers are required to handle major cases, and lawyers are also required to handle small cases, so that the team can make full use of its own resources.
