Lawyer

Chapter 451 The Dancer on the Tip of the Knife

The trial lasted for more than four hours. At [-]:[-] p.m., the presiding judge announced an adjournment to end the trial of the case, but the presiding judge did not announce the verdict in court.Dou Tao was not detained during the second trial because Dou Tao was sentenced to supervision in the first trial.

After the court session, the verdict did not come down, and Dou Tao and his wife felt uneasy, wondering whether the verdict would be changed in the second trial.

"Lawyer Fang, do you think this case can be changed?" Jiang Xue asked outside the court gate.

"The court did not announce the verdict in court. It may be that the judges of the collegial panel disagreed on the case. Maybe the case should be referred to the court for study or to the judicial committee of the court for discussion.

That's not necessarily a bad thing.Go back and wait for the letter, I will let you know when there is news. "Fang Yi said.

After having lunch at a restaurant not far from the court, on the way back to the office, Zhou Ying took the initiative to take over the driving job, considering that Fang Yi had been fighting with each other all morning and was rather tired.

"Lawyer Fang, do you think we can win this case?" Zhou Ying asked while driving.

"Judging from the current situation, it's not too clear." Fang Yi rubbed his temples with both hands.

"I've read this case several times against the legal provisions and judicial interpretations, and I've also read your defense opinion. No matter how I look at it, I think there is a great chance of winning the case. How can you say that it's not clear? Is there something wrong?" Zhou Ying wondered He glanced at Fang Yi and said.

"Whether the judgment of the case will be as expected depends on whether the time, location, and people are in harmony. Although we and the judge read the same "Criminal Law" and judicial interpretations, the facts of each case are different. However, even in similar cases, the judgment results may be different due to the differences in the experience, mood, and professional ability of the judges.

It is even more difficult to say if other factors are involved, so lawyers cannot guarantee the final result of the case to any party, because the result is beyond our control. "Fang Yiyu said earnestly.

"Oh, what do you mean by 'other factors'?" Zhou Ying blinked and asked thoughtfully.

Fang Yi smiled mysteriously: "You will know when you have done more cases."

When Fang Yi and the two returned to the law firm, Huang Yuanchao was drinking tea and was not in a high mood.

"Old Huang, what's the matter? Why are you depressed like an eggplant beaten by Shuang?" Fang Yi half-jokingly said.

"Hey, don't mention it." Huang Yuanchao put down his teacup and said.

"Come on, let's chat in my office for a while." Fang Yi said, and walked into the office with his bag.

After a while, Huang Yuanchao also walked in and sat on the chair opposite Fang Yi's desk.

"Come on, how about tasting this tea?" Fang Yi took out a beautiful porcelain pot, took out some tea leaves and made a cup of tea for Huang Yuanchao.

"Well, it smells good! This tea is very fragrant!" Huang Yuanchao sniffed his nose, smelled it, and immediately became interested: "Is it Jin Junmei? Did you get it from the boss?"

"You are knowledgeable! But I didn't take it, the boss gave it to me." Fang Yi said with a smile.

"The boss is really generous. You may not be able to buy such high-quality tea in tea shops outside, at least two or three thousand silver a tael." Huang Yuanchao picked up the teacup, smelled it, and looked very enjoying it.

"Two or three thousand? You said less! Since quitting drinking, the boss's mouth has become more and more snarky, and he doesn't like tea at all, but he is picky!" Fang Yi laughed.

After a while, Huang Yuanchao put down his teacup and said calmly, "One of my former apprentices was arrested."

"Arrested? What charges?" Fang Yi asked in surprise.

"Crime of obstructing testimony." Huang Yuanchao said.

"What's the situation?" Fang Yi asked.

"She has just practiced for a year, and she transferred from our law firm last year. In order to earn more money, she went to a medium-sized law firm with less deductions than our law firm. Because she just practiced, she has no clients and no resources. Wander around the courthouse gates looking for clients.

At the end of last year, she took a criminal case, which was a rape case.Originally, she didn't do criminal cases, nor did she, but due to financial pressure, now she can only do whatever cases she has.

The client asked her if there was any way to get his son out. As a young lawyer, she couldn't do anything, but she didn't want to lose the client, so she told the client that there was no need to seek connections in this case, as long as the victim changed his words and said it was not rape, the client Naturally, the son will be fine, and the court will not punish the defendant.

As a result, the client really went to find the victim, and put a large amount of money on the table as soon as he entered the door. The victim saw the money and thought that this was the case for him. Even if the other party was sentenced, he would not be able to get so much money. I agreed.

The victim wrote a handwritten fact sheet explaining that she and the defendant were playing around, that they were in a relationship and that rape was not involved.The client went to the procuratorate and the court with the statement of circumstances. "Huang Yuanchao said.

"Then, how was it discovered?" Fang Yi asked after taking a sip of tea.

"When the prosecutor in charge of the case saw the statement written by the victim, he immediately became vigilant and suspected that there was something wrong with it. When the public security organs and the prosecutor questioned the victim, the victim spoke convincingly, saying that the defendant raped her. They just knew each other. , not a love relationship. And the victim's words can also be corroborated from the investigation and evidence collection.

The prosecutor felt that the victim's behavior was abnormal, so he conducted an investigation. As a result, the victim felt guilty and couldn't bear the pressure, so he quickly told the truth.

Later, the procuratorate referred the matter to the public security organ, and the client was summoned to the public security organ, where he was soon dismissed, saying that the lawyer gave him an idea.As a result, my apprentice was arrested.

The police transferred the case to the procuratorate, and the procuratorate prosecuted it to the court for obstructing testimony. Before the client's son's case was judged, she was sentenced first, and her lawyer's license was revoked.

When that girl practiced with me, she was very clever and capable of handling things.I originally wanted to keep her in the team, handle cases for a few years, improve my professional ability, and then let her go out to make a living.

But she felt that there were too many deductions in the firm. She wanted to earn more money and improve her life, but she was arrested after only one year of practice.Pity! "Huang Yuanchao said regretfully.

"Old Huang, there are too many temptations in our industry. Some risks are obvious from the lice on the bald head, and some risks are hidden under the water. I don't know when it will break out. In recent years, it is not the case that colleagues have been arrested and sentenced. A small number of criminal lawyers are the hardest hit.

How should I put it, a criminal lawyer is a dancer on the tip of the knife. Sometimes even if the lawyer's professional ability is at its peak, he will be injured by the tip of the knife. It mainly depends on whose hands the knife handle is in.

Old Huang, the past is over, so don't think about it.This bottle of tea is for you to soothe your wounded heart. "Speaking, Fang Yi took out a can of tea from the cabinet under the bookshelf and handed it to Huang Yuanchao.

"Then what, if you give me that can of Dahongpao, my wounded heart will heal faster!" Huang Yuanchao got up, leaned forward, stretched his neck, and looked at Fang Yi under the bookshelf with his eyes fixed. The cabinet where the tea was taken just now, said.

Fang Yi was stunned, and his eyes immediately became sharp: "Old Huang, you must be kind!" After speaking, he made a gesture to put the tea pot back in his hand, but was stopped by Huang Yuanchao, who was quick-sighted.

"No, I'm joking with you, this is fine too!" Huang Yuanchao said with a smile.
