Chapter 385 The Price of Love
A few days later, Shen Guilin walked into the meeting room of Wanhua United Law Firm again. Fang Yi wanted to discuss his defense plan with him today.

"Mr. Shen, your son had no objection to the facts and charges of the case at the first trial. I have sorted out the case in the past few days. According to the existing case files, there are no problems with the criminal facts and charges ascertained by the court of first instance. The only dispute is The point is that this case belongs to attempted robbery, or is it completed?
I went to the Municipal Procuratorate to discuss the case. The prosecutor in charge of the case believed that the case was completed, but I thought it was attempted. The legal provisions are not very clear. It depends on how the court of second instance determines.I am prepared to enter a misdemeanor defense for your son. "Fang Yi said.

"Lawyer Fang, I'm a coolie in the company. I don't have much culture. You can do whatever you want to defend my son. I'll listen to you." After Fang Yi finished speaking, Shen Guilin expressed his opinion.

"Okay, I made an appointment to meet with Shen Hu in the detention center tomorrow, and discuss with him about the defense plan. Shen Hu's case will be in court at nine o'clock next Monday. If you come to attend the hearing, remember to bring your ID card." Fang Yi said.

Shen Guilin nodded, and then left the law firm.

On the weekend, Fang Yi took his son Fang Anzhi to Beiguo Mall to buy some clothes for autumn and winter, and then took him to have a western meal, take a bath in Brilliant in the evening, and have a meal with Li Shuming.

Although it is said that poor sons are rich and daughters are raised, the son's knowledge is indispensable. Fang Yi tried his best to let his son Xiaozhi get in touch with the society and gain more knowledge.Avoid reading too much, your mind is full of exams, and you will be stupid!

In the evening, on the way Fang Yi sent his son back home, Fang Anzhi hesitated: "My mother asked me to live in school from this semester. She said that I have grown up and adapted to the new school after a semester, so I should be independent!"

"Your mother is doing it for your own good. People have to learn to grow up slowly. You can't always be by your parents' side. Remember to have a good relationship with your classmates. When you are growing up, you must eat well. If you don't have enough food I'll call." Fang Yi held the steering wheel, glanced at his son, and smiled.

At this time, an old song by Li Zongsheng came out from the radio in the car:

Do you still remember the dream when I was young, like a flower that never fades, accompany me through the wind and rain, see the impermanence of the world, and the vicissitudes of life... Let's go, let's go, people always learn to grow up by themselves, Let's go, let's go, life will inevitably experience pain and struggle, let's go, let's find a home for our heart, we have been sad, wept, and heartbroken, this is the price of love...

yes!My son has grown up, it's time to be independent!No matter how reluctant, no matter how sad and heartbroken, you have to let go... This is the price of love.

Fang Yi suddenly felt a little sad, time passed too fast, and he was already middle-aged in a blink of an eye!
The car was parked downstairs, Fang Anzhi got out of the car, turned around at the door of the building, waved to Fang Yi, and then went upstairs.Upstairs, Cao Xiaohui, who was standing behind the curtains in the bedroom, watched Fang Anzhi get off the car, and felt a sudden pain in her heart. If she hadn't come to the city, if she hadn't been greedy for money, maybe she wouldn't have fallen into the quagmire, let alone be like this anxiety.

Life seems to have played a joke on her. In the past, Cao Xiaohui was most envious of a life full of luxury, famous brands, and spending money like water, but now she wants to live an ordinary life.

Because a Damocus sword is hanging above her head, and it will fall down at some point, and now she is enduring endless suffering!In order to reduce the impact on her son, that's all she could do.

Her heart was full of pain and regret, but there was nothing she could do!
Fang Yi returned to his residence, lit a red plum and sat facing the window, looking at the bright moon outside the window, thinking to himself: Why is it this time?No, with Cao Xiaohui's personality, how could she let her son live in school.If she really wanted her son to live on campus, why did she buy a house near the school?Is not this contradictory?Could it be...

On Monday morning, the No.20 Court of the Intermediate People's Court opened the second instance of Shen Hu's case.

……

"The defense lawyer of the appellant Shen Hu, please state the reason for the appeal." The presiding judge said.

"The defender believes that the appellant, Shen Hu, stole other people's property and resisted arrest and used violence on the spot. His behavior constituted the crime of robbery. The original court's characterization of his crime was not inappropriate, but it did not find that the crime of robbery in this case was attempted.

In view of the fact that the appellant Shen Hu is a first-time offender, has pleaded guilty and repented, and his family members have made compensation to the victim. This case is an attempted robbery. We request the court to change the sentence according to law and reduce the punishment of the appellant Shen Hu.complete. "Fang Yi said.

"Appellant Shen Hu, do you have any objections to the facts and charges identified in the first-instance verdict?" the presiding judge asked with a sullen face.

"No objection. I agree with the facts and charges determined by the court of first instance." Shen Hu lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at the presiding judge.

……

"The court investigation is over, and the court debate is now underway. Before the debate, the court draws the attention of both the prosecution and the defense. The debate should focus on determining charges, sentencing and other controversial issues.

The appellant, Shen Hu, will first defend himself. " said the presiding judge.

Shen Hu's defense was based on Fang Yi's defense plan. He didn't understand legal language and could only talk back and forth. The presiding judge couldn't stand it anymore and stopped him from speaking.

"Next, the defender of the appellant Shen Hu will speak." The presiding judge said.

"The presiding judge, the judge: the defender believes that in this case, the appellant Shen Hu stole electric bicycle batteries worth RMB 150, which did not meet the standard of a large amount of theft, but when he was intercepted by the security guards, he resisted arrest. Beating the victim with fists and causing minor injuries to the victim should be considered a crime of robbery, and the defender has no objection to this.

However, the appellant's behavior should be regarded as attempted robbery, and the court of first instance did not take into account the circumstances of attempted robbery when sentencing, so the defender believed that the sentence of the court of first instance was too heavy.

In view of the fact that the family members of the above-mentioned persons have already paid compensation to the victim, and the appellant is a first-time offender, has pleaded guilty and repented, and is an attempted robbery, according to the provisions of Article 20 of No. lighter or mitigated punishment.

To sum up, the defender suggested that the appellant, Shen Hu, be given a lighter punishment and be sentenced to one year in prison, and the court is requested to change the sentence according to law.complete. "Fang Yi said.

Article 260 of the "Criminal Law" stipulates that whoever robs public or private property by violence, coercion or other methods shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined.Fang Yi suggested that Shen Hu be sentenced to one year's imprisonment, which is already lower than the statutory minimum sentence (three years), and it is a reduced punishment.

"Now it's up to the prosecutor to speak." The presiding judge said.

"Presiding judge, judge: We believe that the court of first instance found that the appellant Shen Hu committed the crime of robbery. The facts are clear, the evidence is reliable and sufficient, the punishment is appropriate, and the procedure is legal. Please the court reject all the appeals of the appellant according to the law," the prosecutor said. .
