Lawyer

Not long after Cao Yongzheng went out, the girl at the front desk sent Fang Yi an EMS delivery, which was sent by the Supreme Court.

After Fang Yi opened it, he saw that it was the result of the death penalty review by the Supreme Court of Zhong Weican's trafficking case.

After review, the Supreme People's Court held that lawyer Zhao Jia (defender of the first and second instance of Zhong Weican's case—lawyer Zhao) successively accepted the entrustment of two criminal suspects in the same case, Luo Shu and Zhong Weican, to provide legal assistance during the investigation stage of this case, and provided legal assistance in the first and second instance. Phase continued to act as defendant Zhong Weican's defender, which violated the legal procedures and may affect the fair trial.

In accordance with Article 199 of the Criminal Procedure Law and Article [-] of the Provisions of the Supreme People's Court Concerning Several Issues Concerning the Review of Death Penalty Cases, the ruling is as follows:

[-]. The Provincial Higher People's Court upholds the criminal ruling that the defendant Zhong Weican was sentenced to death for the crime of selling and transporting drugs, deprived of political rights for life, and confiscated all personal property in the first instance;
[-]. Revocation of the criminal ruling of the Provincial Higher People's Court and the criminal judgment of the Municipal Intermediate People's Court that sentenced the defendant Zhong Weican to death for the crime of drug trafficking and transportation, deprivation of political rights for life, and confiscation of all personal property;
[-]. Remand to the Municipal Intermediate People's Court for a new trial.

Fang Yi was overjoyed after reading the ruling, and immediately called Zhong Weicheng. Zhong Weicheng was so excited that he told Fang Yi that he would come immediately to get the ruling of the Supreme Court.

Afterwards, Fang Yi called Ouyang Jie with the result of the case. The case was recommended by Ouyang, so he should tell him now that there is a result.

More than half an hour later, Zhong Weicheng came to Sidley Law Firm, still carrying the travel bag in his hand.After reading the ruling of the Supreme Court, he took out the remaining 40 in the travel bag and put it on the table.

"Lawyer Fang, you are reliable, and I mean what I say. The 40 yuan is yours." Zhong Weicheng pushed the money on the table to Fang Yi, and told him that he would have to trouble him for the follow-up case.After a few polite words between the two, Fang Yi sent him out of the law firm.

Fang Yi thought that Zhong Weicheng would come to him again, but who knew that after he gave the money to express his gratitude, he didn't call or mention the matter again.

Later, Fang Yi found out in the chat with Ouyang Jie that someone told Zhong Weicheng that even if Fang Yi did not mail his defense opinion to the Supreme Court, his brother's case would be sent back for retrial. In the Dupin case, a senior lawyer with a close relationship with the court took on his younger brother's case.Of course the fee is not low.

Fang Yi smiled after hearing this, but was not angry. The woods are so big that there are all kinds of birds, let him go!
On September [-]th, at nine o'clock in the morning, Deng Junshan's case was held in the Third Court of the Municipal Intermediate People's Court.There were many people sitting in the auditorium.Deng Junshan's daughter-in-law, Chen Xiaoling, was sitting in the first row of the auditorium, and she was anxiously waiting for the hearing.

"The court investigation is now underway, and the public prosecutor is asked to read the indictment." The presiding judge is a fat man who looks like a door god.

"...Defendant Deng Junshan had conflicts with his father Deng Lu (63 years old when he died) due to issues such as separation of family and building a house, so he intentionally murdered him.

On the night of the incident, Deng Junshan sneaked into Deng Lu's home, took advantage of the opportunity that Deng Lu and Jiao Shangying were asleep, hit Deng Lu's head several times with a hoe, and also hit Deng Lu's eyes several times with his fist.

Jiao Shangying was awakened and wanted to get up. Deng Junshan hit him on the head with a hoe again, knocked him down on the bed, and hit his left arm with the hoe.

Afterwards, Deng Junshan strangled Jiao Shangying's neck to force him to reveal where the money was hidden at home, and took [-] yuan in cash.Deng Lu died on the night of the incident due to severe craniocerebral injury caused by being hit on the head with a blunt instrument, and Jiao Shangying's injury was minor.

We believe that Deng Junshan's behavior violated Articles 232 and 263 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China. The facts of the crime are clear and the evidence is reliable and sufficient. He should be investigated for criminal responsibility for the crimes of intentional homicide and robbery.

According to the provisions of Article 176 of the "Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China", if a public prosecution is filed, please sentence it according to law.complete. "The middle-aged female prosecutor read out the indictment in a cold tone.

"Defendant Deng Junshan, did you hear clearly the indictment read out by the public prosecutor just now? What crimes are you charged with? Do you have any objections to the criminal facts charged in the indictment? Do you have any objections?" The presiding judge looked sharply at the defendant Deng Junshan sitting at the table.

Fang Yi and Cao Yongzheng on the defense bench listened quietly, waiting for Deng Junshan's statement.Fang Yi's intuition told him that Deng Junshan would definitely retract his confession, and there was no other reason. When he met Deng Junshan in the detention center, the latter didn't mention the case, but just said that he killed the man himself, and his attitude was too abnormal.

"I have an objection. I didn't kill the man. The victim was my father. How could I run over to kill him in the middle of the night." After a few seconds of silence, Deng Junshan raised his head and looked directly at the presiding judge with a very firm tone.

As soon as Deng Junshan's words came out, the two female prosecutors on the public prosecutor's bench were stunned, and their eyes were full of doubts and anger. When I went to the detention center and saw this guy in front of me, he recognized all the evidence submitted by the public security agency, and asked what he said , The attitude is so good, why did he suddenly retract his confession.The inspector suddenly realized something.

Fang Yi felt relieved, and smiled at Cao Yongzheng, as expected.

"The public prosecutor can interrogate the defendant on the facts of the crimes charged in the indictment." The presiding judge was also taken aback. This kind of case of retracting a confession in court is the most troublesome.

"Defendant Deng Junshan, after you got married, when did you divide your family?" The female prosecutor asked after adjusting her mentality.

"I separated within half a year after I got married." Deng Junshan looked at the inspector and replied.

"Are you satisfied with the result of the separation?" the female prosecutor then asked.

"To be honest, I was dissatisfied. My father was eccentric. At that time, he only gave me two south houses and some materials for building the house. I had no choice but to go out and borrow money to build the house by myself, so I was very stiff with my family at that time. Until later Our relationship eased after my son was born. The whole village knows about it." Deng Junshan said lightly.

"What were you doing on the night of the incident?" the female prosecutor continued to ask.

"I sleep at home. People in the village go to bed early and go to bed as soon as it gets dark." Deng Junshan replied.

"Can anyone prove that you slept at home on the night of the crime?" asked the female prosecutor.

"There is no one, and the door is closed when sleeping. How can it be seen by others. In addition, my mother-in-law fell that day, and I took my daughter-in-law and children to see my mother-in-law. My daughter-in-law and children did not come back. Because the next day I went to help others with work, so I came back alone after dinner." Deng Junshan said. (end of this chapter)
