Lawyer

"What about the old man in your family?" Du Yong's heart moved.

"The old man didn't move, but he definitely won't be able to go back home." Guan Jibao sighed: "Nowadays, every family has a child, and the country doesn't allow more. Whose child is not a treasure. I don't hate Guan Yuefeng , I only hate myself for giving birth to a murderer.

But no matter how much I hate him, he is also my son, so I still have to take care of him.People in our village don't understand the truth, but I understand the truth of killing people for life.

The couple of us have visited many law firms during this time, and we have met many lawyers, but if possible... I would like to ask you... to see if you can find a way to save his life, whether he is sentenced to life or death with a reprieve. "Speaking, Guan Jibao's tears fell like pearls with a broken thread.

His daughter-in-law Zhang Shuilan also cried.

"Is the case now in the procuratorate or in the court?" Du Yong asked after a moment of silence.

"In court." Guan Jibao replied.

"Mr. Guan, let me tell you the truth. If there is no statutory lenient punishment in this case, I'm afraid... we can only do our best, and we may not be able to keep it." Du Yong frowned and said the truth.

Even the defendant's parents knew that murder pays for life, and his son's life may not be saved. Du Yong felt that it was better to tell the truth, without beating around the bush, which seemed more frank.He believed that the couple in front of him must have known that their son's life was very likely to be lost before entrusting him. The reason why he came to entrust him was to try and hope for a miracle.

Before, the opinions given by the lawyers Guan Jibao met were not very optimistic. The lawyers who wanted to make some money wanted to make some money, but Guan Jibao had no money and couldn't afford much legal fees, so the lawyers who wanted to cheat some money didn't like to answer. They are a couple.

In desperation, Guan Jibao heard that Fang Yi's team specializes in criminal cases, and that many death penalty cases have good results in the end, so he wanted to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Xie Youhe felt that his son's case had little hope, so he went through the procedure, charged him only 6000 yuan in legal fees, and transferred the case to Du Yong.

In fact, in Guan Jiang's case, the defendant is very likely to be sentenced to death. Even if Guan Jibao doesn't appoint a lawyer, the court will appoint a lawyer to defend him, but Guan Jibao is not reconciled.

Guan Jibao nodded after listening to Du Yong's words.

"We will try our best. In the next two days, we will go to review the papers and go to the detention center to meet your son. After the defense plan is finalized, we will call you and ask you to come." Du Yong said.

Guan Jibao nodded, he could only do this first, and the husband and wife left the law firm.

Du Yong and Yun Qiao chatted while walking back.

"Lawyer Du, do you think the defendant would be sentenced if he didn't kill someone but just rummaged through boxes and boxes for money?" Yun Qiao asked after thinking for a while.

"I think that if it's just stealing, the defendant may not be enough to commit a crime.

According to Guan Jibao's description, his son's theft was actually minor and harmless, and he didn't steal any money. It was an attempt, and it might not be considered a crime.

I remember that in March 1998, the Supreme People's Court promulgated the "Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Laws in Handling theft Cases", which stipulates in the second paragraph of Article 3: "The attempted theft is serious, such as using a huge amount of property or the state Precious cultural relics, etc. that are the target of theft should be convicted and punished."

Combined with the specific circumstances of this case, the defendant Guan Jiang ran to a villager’s house in the same village to steal property. He had no clear target for the theft, and according to Guan Jibao, the stolen house was an ordinary farmer whose family conditions were not very good, so the defendant The amount of theft should not be huge enough.

Moreover, the defendant did not take away the property of the victim's family after the murder, so his theft may not be considered a crime. "Du Yong stopped and said.

"Well, I've already made an appointment with the detention center at 09:30 tomorrow morning." Yun Qiao said.

"Okay, the detention center in the county is far away. You wait for me downstairs at eight o'clock. I will pick you up in a car. Let's go directly there." Du Yong said.

"Okay!" Yun Qiao laughed.

During this period of time, Fang Yi has been busy with the wedding banquet with Yunmei, and it was the end of the year, so Fang Yi was busy and didn't take many cases, so Yun Qiao would follow Zhou Ying and Du Yong to handle cases when he was free.

Everyone has a good relationship, so if there is a case to be held in court, Zhou Ying and the others will ask Yun Qiao to go with them.

Early the next morning, with the bitter cold wind blowing, Du Yong and Yun Qiao were wrapped in down jackets, hunched their necks, entered the detention center in line, and began to go through the interview procedures.

More than 20 minutes later, Guan Jiang was brought over.Guan Jiang looks a lot like his mother, with a strong body and a very energetic appearance.He recounted the incident.

"Have you met the people from the procuratorate?" Du Yong asked.

"I've seen it." Guan Jiang lowered his head and looked in a daze.

"Why did you kill Guan Tong?" Du Yong asked.

"I was afraid he would yell out. I was very scared at the time, they were all from the same village..." Guan Jiang looked up at Du Yong, his eyes full of fear.

"Guan Tong's family is not richer than yours, why did you choose his family?" Du Yong continued to ask.

"I didn't want to steal his house at the time. When I passed by his house on my way home at noon, I saw that the gate of his house was locked and the courtyard wall was low. I didn't know what happened, so I went to his house by a strange coincidence.

At first I thought there was no one in his house, but when I entered the house, I found that Guan Tong was sleeping on the bed. I knocked over the thermos bottle and woke him up.But I wanted to run, but my legs didn't work, and then..." Guan Jiang lowered his head again, and wiped his tears with his hand.

"Lawyer Du, do I have to pay for my life?!" Guan Jiang suddenly raised his head and asked.

"...Some things, if you do it, you have to bear the consequences." Du Yong said after a moment of silence.

Du Yong and Yun Qiao left the detention center and returned to the city. Guan Jiang's case may be sentenced to death, so the court of first instance is the intermediate court, and the case files have been transferred to the intermediate court, so they have to go to the intermediate court to review the files.

Before the New Year's Day holiday, Du Yong received a notice from the Intermediate People's Court that the Guan Jiang murder case would be in court on Thursday, the first week after the New Year's Day holiday.

Yunmei and Fang Yi were discussing about going to Nanfang Yun's house to hold a banquet, and there were many customers who needed to go around at the end of the year, so they were both very busy recently.

Originally, Fang Yi and his wife wanted to invite Li Shuming to drink, but Li Shuming had already gone abroad to reunite with his wife and daughter, so the appointment was not made.

"Master, the holiday is coming soon, do you want to give us some benefits?" Yun Qiao sat opposite Fang Yi and asked with a playful smile.

"Well, you have to prepare. How about this, you prepare a [-] yuan shopping card for each of you, which can be regarded as a bonus for everyone from the team.

In addition, the boss is said to have prepared some gifts for everyone, each with a barrel of peanut oil and two chickens.Tomorrow, your sister and I will go to the south, and the tickets are all booked.

Before doing business, there were a lot of vegetables and meat left at home, so you can give my share directly to Yu Wendong, his family is not rich. "Fang Yi thought for a while. (End of this chapter)
