If you were asked to file a lawsuit, how come you were not found guilty?

Chapter 39: Plea guilty, accept punishment, and wait for the trial

Without any more nonsense, Du Jingjing signed the commission contract with Ren Zhen.

The amount is not large, not even five figures.

First of all, this case is not complicated, and if it goes well, it won't require much effort.

Secondly, this family is not well-off financially, and Du Jingjing has said that they came to you mainly because you are cheap.

Ren Zhen is too embarrassed to ask for more.

In fact, if the legal fees were too much, Du Jingjing might just stop hiring a lawyer.

After dialing the number of the case handler Du Jingjing left behind, Ren Zhen got in touch with the police officer handling the case.

After a brief communication, Ren Zhen learned that the case was now in the review and prosecution stage.

In other words, the case is still with the public prosecution and has not been officially transferred to the court.

Maybe we can try harder?
Ren Zhen thought so and decided to go see Zhao Kai first.

When I arrived at the detention center, I was not as lucky as last time.

After completing the formalities, it was already more than an hour before I saw Zhao Kai.

Ren Zhen was not in a hurry, after all, at this time, if he urged someone, most of the time it would be counterproductive.

It's better to wait honestly. As long as there is no special reason, sooner or later it will be his turn to meet.

Zhao Kai has a slim figure, but he is 170cm tall but weighs 180cm. When he was brought over, his face was full of frustration.

Unlike Wen Xuan before, Zhao Kai's eyes lit up almost immediately when he saw Ren Zhen.

"Lawyer Ren, you must rescue me!"

After a brief self-introduction, Zhao Kai lost his temper and burst into tears, as if he was grasping at a life-saving straw.

"I also know that you can't drive after drinking, but the child is so burned, how can I care so much?"

"Lawyer Ren, tell me, if you were a father, could you still think so much at this time?"

"I really died unjustly!"

While wiping tears, Zhao Kai didn't listen.

Seeing Zhao Kai crying with a cruel look on his face, Ren Zhen felt dumbfounded for a moment.

With this body shape, appearance, and hairstyle, you don’t look like someone who sheds tears?

But it’s okay, as long as you can speak and are willing to communicate.

"There is indeed a reason for your situation."

Listening to Zhao Kai's ramble, Ren Zhen did not interrupt him, but echoed a few words.

An experienced lawyer will not explain the law to the client right away.

Lawyers defend clients, so they naturally have to think about issues from the perspective of the clients.

Even if most of what Zhao Kai said was nonsense, to a certain extent, it also provided Ren Zhen with other perspectives to think about the problem.

What's more, Zhao Kai must be suffering from a lot of pain after being imprisoned for these days.

Let him finish his complaints, and the subsequent work can be carried out better.

If a lawyer doesn't even know what his client is thinking and goes to court, how can he speak for his client from the bottom of his heart?
Ren Zhen had met many lawyers, and he was more enthusiastic than anyone else when taking on a case. As soon as the entrustment contract was signed, he immediately left the work to the trainee lawyers. He would only look at the materials and understand the case half an hour before the trial.

They may look decent, but what these lawyers say in court are all clichés.

In other words, the same template can be applied to different cases.

Just here, there are still many people who are having a good time.

Ren Zhen naturally sneered at such an approach.

Maybe he could earn more this way, but Ren Zhen's conscience couldn't bear it.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some lawyers really have no conscience.

After Zhao Kai finished venting his emotions, Ren Zhen began to ask about the case.

The case was not complex, so the meeting did not last long.After coming out of the detention center, Ren Zhen immediately went to the public prosecution office and contacted the prosecutor in charge of the case.

Before it got dark, Ren Zhen met the public prosecutor named Wang Feng.

After briefly chatting about the case, Ren Zhen suddenly asked tentatively:
"Do you think this case can be handled without prosecution?"

"No prosecution?"

Wang Feng was stunned for a moment.

Do you dare to make such a request?What kind of charter is this?

"Yes yes yes!"

Ren Zhen nodded repeatedly.

In the complete process of criminal proceedings, many procedures and agencies are involved.

To briefly summarize, law enforcement agencies first arrest people, interrogate and collect evidence, and then transfer the case to the public prosecution agency for review.

After the public prosecution agency completes the review according to certain standards, the case will be transferred to the court for a final judgment.

Of course, after the judgment, there are still issues such as appeal, retrial, enforcement, etc., which is another matter.

Zhao Kai's case is still with the public prosecution. If sufficient reasons can be given for the public prosecutor to believe that this case does not require prosecution, then the matter will be much easier to handle.

This is also the purpose of Ren Zhen running here non-stop.

"Of course, first of all, I admit that Zhao Kai did drive after drinking, and the alcohol content in his blood reached the standard for drunk driving.

But you see, firstly, there was no traffic accident and no harm was caused; secondly,"

"Stop!"

Wang Feng raised his hands and signaled Ren Zhen to stop talking:
"I don't care what your reasons are, but Zhao Kai's case completely meets the standards for drunk driving, and it goes far beyond it!
I know that he wanted to take the child to the hospital, but if it comes down to it, this case will definitely be prosecuted. "

Seeing how categorically Wang Feng said it, Ren Zhen knew that the other party didn't listen to his proposal at all.

I'm really convinced, my reasons are very good, okay?
Can you please listen to what I have to say before making a decision?

He was complaining crazily in his heart, but Ren Zhen didn't continue talking.

After these two interactions with prosecutors in this world, Ren Zhen has fully realized that prosecutors have an almost paranoid idea of ​​​​people suspected of committing crimes.

That is, if you commit a crime, you must be punished.

This idea is of course not wrong. On the contrary, the spirit contained in this idea is actually one of the meanings of the existence of law.

But the problem is that this can easily affect the prosecutor's judgment.

After all, if you act with the idea that this person is guilty from the beginning, there will definitely be problems everywhere you look.

This is exactly the case with Wen Xuan.

Ren Zhen once imagined that if Wen Xuan's case was in the review and prosecution stage, if the defense lawyer could promptly put forward the views he expressed during the trial, would the direction of the case be completely different?

Ren Zhen is unknown.

But the current case of Zhao Kai may have this possibility, so Ren Zhen came over and wanted to work hard.

But right now, it seems like it's just wishful thinking on his part.

That can only be the case temporarily.

Ren Zhen sighed inwardly, with a calm expression on his face: "Prosecutor Wang, Zhao Kai hasn't pleaded guilty and accepted punishment yet, right? I went to see him today, and he expressed his willingness to plead guilty and accept punishment."

"Oh?"

Wang Feng nodded: "I heard that Zhao Kai never confessed in the past two days, but now that he has figured it out, we will go through the formalities tomorrow."

The first interview with the public prosecutor ended like this.

the next day.

Witnessed by lawyer Ren Zhen, Zhao Kai signed a confession of guilt and punishment.

All that's left is the court session.
