You were asked to be a lawyer, and you sent the judge to jail?

Chapter 172: Court Opening, Trial Scene
10.00am.

Everyone has entered.

The recorder stood up.

All the netizens in the live broadcast room were a little excited.

At this time, there were already more than ten thousand people in the live broadcast room!
The level of attention can be said to be quite high!
The court session is about to begin!

The recorder said, "Everyone stand up now!"

Everyone in the court stood up.

The recorder said, "Please invite the presiding judge and the judges to take their seats."

Under the gaze of the crowd, presiding judge Wang Zhong and judges Ding Xiangling, Qian Xuejun and He Yushu entered the venue.

The presiding judge, Wang Zhong, looked at everyone and banged the gavel, "Please take a seat."

The recorder spoke at this time: "Now announce the court discipline!"

"Participants in the proceedings shall abide by the court rules and shall not make noise or quarrel. Speech, statement and debate shall be subject to the permission of the presiding judge."

"The audience must abide by the following rules:
1. Court proceedings may not be recorded, videotaped, photographed, or disseminated using mobile communication tools.

2. You are not allowed to walk around or enter the trial area at will.

3. No speaking or asking questions.

4. Applauding, making noise, making a commotion or engaging in other acts that may disrupt the trial process are prohibited.

"

The recorder looked at the presiding judge and said, "Reporting to the presiding judge, the plaintiff is Ruimao Bank and the defendant is Zhao Yishan. The personnel of both parties have been verified. The court is ready and the trial can begin now."

Presiding Judge Wang Zhong: "I now declare that the trial of this case is officially open!"

Presiding Judge Wang Zhong: "The original defendant Zhao Yishan, dissatisfied with the No. 234 judgment made by the Jiangcheng Intermediate People's Court, appealed to this court. According to the Criminal Procedure Law and relevant legal provisions, this case will be heard in public. Now I declare the case officially open!"

"Now please allow the defendant to state the facts and the reasons for his appeal."

The court has begun.

At Fangda Partners.

Gao Yong, Xue Shao, and Director Xue Yaoting were all watching this lawsuit.

Gao Yong and Xue Shao happened to have nothing to do today, so they could watch the live broadcast.

Gao Yong already knew Gu Chen's litigation skills, and he was also familiar with this case.

Gao Yong knew that this case was quite difficult to handle, especially when all the evidence was available.

No matter what, Zhao Yishan must be sentenced, as he has indeed broken the law.

But how to defend it?

Gao Yong himself is also a top lawyer, but he is at a loss on this case.

If he were to defend Xue Shao, he wouldn't be able to find a good defense angle, and the most he could do is help reduce Xue Shao's sentence.

Xue Shao said: "This case is very complicated. Gu Chen should only be able to find a way to reduce Zhao Yishan's sentence. It is estimated that Zhao Yishan will be sentenced to at least seven years in prison."

Gao Yong nodded, "I think so too. If Zhao Yishan is sentenced to seven years in prison, it will still be very hurtful. He was sentenced to fifteen years at the beginning, and it has been a success if he can be reduced to seven years."

Xue Shao: "With Gu Chen's level, this case might really be reduced to seven years. The main reason is that the nature of bank robbery is quite bad. There is no other way. The minimum sentence is seven years. It will be the same no matter who defends him. Even if I personally do it, the most I can get is seven years."

While the two were chatting, Xue Yaoting took a sip of tea and slowly placed the teacup on the table.

Xue Yaoting said: "I asked my granddaughter last night." Gao Yong and Xue Shao immediately looked at Xue Yaoting.

Xue Yaoting spoke slowly: "My granddaughter said that Gu Chen will help Zhao Yishan defend his innocence in this case."

Xue Shao: “???”

Gao Yong: “???”

Not guilty?

How can it be?

Zhao Yishan took the money given by the robber and spent three hundred thousand.

This is three hundred thousand!
That’s a large amount of cash!

Regardless of whether Zhao Yishan was treating his father's illness or for some other reason, he was equivalent to being an accomplice of the robber!
Steal bank property and transfer assets!
After all, no one knows what the purpose of those robbers' robbery is.

Xue Shao said: "Not guilty defense? How is that possible?"

Xue Shao analyzed the case and said, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Which lawyer can do a not guilty defense? If Gu Chen can do a not guilty defense in this case, it would be too exaggerated. Even I have to learn from Gu Chen. He is really too exaggerated."

Gao Yong said on the side: "I think a not guilty plea is unlikely."

Netizens in the live broadcast room also posted comments.

[This case seems to be difficult to win.]

[The opposite is Ruimao Bank. The legal department of Ruimao Bank is very powerful. ]

【Is it okay to ask Lawyer Gu? 】

[This case is unlikely to work. I can only defend Zhao Yishan in exchange for a reduced sentence. It depends on how many years he can get reduced.]

[I feel like it's hard to get a reduced sentence. Zhao Yishan took the money from the bank, isn't that equivalent to robbery? Even if he didn't rob, the nature of him taking the money is the same, it's definitely impossible for him to be sentenced to less than ten years.]

[Zhao Yishan is at the end of his rope and can only ask Gu Chen to handle the lawsuit. Since Lawyer Gu has become very famous recently, his family probably spent a lot of money to help him with the lawsuit.]

[That means there is nothing the lawless criminal can do? Then why did Gu Chen take over this case? Was it to make money? ]

[How could a lawyer take on a case if it wasn't for the sake of making money? No one can do anything about this case, not even the lawless criminals. You have to follow the law. Just tell me whether Zhao Yishan has violated the law or not?]

[It is indeed illegal, and there is nothing Lawyer Gu can do. Zhao Yishan's family paid a high price to hire Lawyer Gu to fight the case, but the final result is the same. He can only plead for sentence reduction. There is nothing he can do. I just asked my friend, who is a lawyer, and he said that Zhao Yishan's sentence starts at fifteen years, and fifteen years is too low for the court.]

Ruimao Bank.

President Wang Rui sat in his office watching the live broadcast.

Minister of Justice Zhang Hongxiang was also in the office.

Wang Rui looked serious and said, "I didn't expect that there are still so many netizens watching this lawsuit. The number of viewers in the live broadcast room has exceeded 100,000. Zhang Hongxiang, we must fight this case well and win the case. After all, we are the victims."

Zhang Hongxiang was very confident and said with a smile: "Don't worry, President. I don't know how we can lose this lawsuit. Zhao Yishan is the robber and our bank was robbed. Our bank has no problem with this case. Not only must we win the case, but we must also sentence Zhao Yishan longer."

Ruimao Bank is a relatively large bank, and the entire network is paying attention to this case.

If they lose this case, there will be no chance of public opinion against Ruimao Bank.

This case has attracted so much attention that the live broadcast room has been filled with comments, with at least hundreds of thousands of viewers.

Presiding Judge Wang Zhong said: "Now please ask the defendant to state the facts and the reasons for his appeal."

Gu Chen spoke at this time.

Gu Chen said: "Then let me tell you what my client went through on the day of the bank robbery."
