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

Chapter 371 The second trial is coming soon! Zhao Sisi can't escape

After the first instance judgment is concluded.

Zhao Sisi expressed dissatisfaction with the verdict and prepared to appeal for a second trial.

Du Jinglin did not appeal.

Some media interviewed Gu Chen.

Gu Chen said that he would attend the second trial.

Netizens all over the Internet are waiting for the second trial to open, hoping that the verdict will not be changed.

Gu Chen knew that the second instance was just a formality.

All the evidence in this case has been unlocked.
No matter how powerful the lawyer Zhao Sisi finds, the verdict of the second instance will not change.

The death penalty is still the death penalty, and the most that can be done is some civil compensation.
But I still have to go to court to see the situation.

As for Wang Haodong's case, it has nothing to do with Gu Chen.

Wang Haodong is a doctor. He issued a fake certificate of mental illness himself. With so many news reports about him, it is normal for him to be sentenced.

Gu Chen had just returned to the law firm and originally wanted to have a good rest.

As a result, Gu Chen found that he couldn't rest at all.

Several new cases came to the law firm, all of which required Gu Chen to handle the lawsuits.

Yan Yuting has recommended other lawyers from the law firm to these people.

But those people were not willing to find other lawyers, they only wanted to find Gu Chen.
Gu Chen is now the boss of a law firm. He takes a break every day and does some live broadcasts, earning more than he does from lawsuits.

But as a lawyer, Gu Chen still wants to do lawyer-related work and go to court.
If someone comes forward, Gu Chen will take over the lawsuit depending on the circumstances.

“This lawsuit.”

"A boy was riding a bicycle with a group of cyclists. He was tripped by his fellow cyclists and was hit and killed by a passing driver."

"As a result, the passing driver was forced to kneel down, apologize, and was slapped. In the end, the driver was prosecuted for manslaughter. Let the lawyers in our law firm handle it. I will not take this case." Gu Chen said.

Because for this kind of case, it doesn't matter who handles it.

The evidence is clear, there are surveillance videos and dashcams, and the cause and process of the incident are all there.

As long as you find a normal lawyer, he can help you defend yourself.

For these cases, as long as the lawyers in the law firm can take over, Gu Chen will let other lawyers take over.

If he were to handle all the cases, he would not be able to finish them even if he worked 24 hours a day.

Gu Chen screened many cases.

Some cases were defended by the company's lawyers.

Gu Chen will only take action when he encounters a difficult lawsuit. Even if many people insist on asking Gu Chen to sue him, Gu Chen may not necessarily accept it.

"Boss, there is a new lawsuit. It happened yesterday. Now the victim's family has come to us and wants our law firm to help her son with the lawsuit." Xue Qingqing said.

"What lawsuit?" Gu Chen asked.

"Boss, take a look for yourself. I have already summarized it." Xue Qingqing sighed and said.

Gu Chen took a look at the things Xue Qingqing had sorted out.

A traffic accident happened yesterday.

Traffic accidents happen every day and are not unexpected.

An eighteen-year-old college student named Wang Yimeng was hit by a car.

By the time medical staff arrived, Wang Yimeng was already dead.

The female driver's name is Li Xiaoxin.

The incident occurred on Changfeng West Street.

There are usually very few vehicles passing through Changfeng West Street, and there are no surveillance cameras at a certain intersection.

After the incident, Li Xiaoxin acted as if it had nothing to do with her and let the insurance company handle it.

After the police arrived at the scene, Li Xiaoxin said that she was driving normally, but Wang Yimeng ran a red light on his electric scooter, and the traffic accident was caused because Wang Yimeng ran a red light.

Li Xiaoxin also said that it was all Wang Yimeng's fault.

This is her newly purchased second-hand car. Now she has to file an insurance claim to get the car repaired because Wang Yimeng ran a red light, causing her car to become an accident vehicle. Even next year's insurance premium will have to increase.

Li Xiaoxin refused to take any responsibility and demanded that Wang Yimeng's family compensate her for the loss of her vehicle.

When the police arrived, they investigated the scene.

It was just raining heavily yesterday, and by the time the police arrived, all traces of the scene had been destroyed.

Although there was a traffic light on the road at that time, there was no surveillance.

The police looked for the dashcam in Li Xiaoxin's car, but it turned out that Li Xiaoxin had just bought a second-hand car, which was an old model, and she had to buy and install the dashcam herself.
Li Xiaoxin's car had a car accident before it was equipped with a dash cam.

Wang Yimeng died.

Li Xiaoxin claimed that it was Wang Yimeng who ran a red light and refused to pay compensation.

The police are not in a position to directly issue a letter of responsibility for the accident, and the case is under investigation.

Li Xiaoxin was detained.
But as soon as Li Xiaoxin was detained, Li Xiaoxin's lawyer came and granted bail for Li Xiaoxin.

Li Xiaoxin insisted that the car accident was caused by Wang Yimeng running a red light.

There is just no evidence to prove that Wang Yimeng ran a red light.

Most of the traces at the crime scene were washed away.

There were only a few small traces that showed that Li Xiaoxin had indeed stepped on the brakes after the accident, and there were brake marks on the ground.

Based on the impact marks, angle, and degree of deformation of the vehicle, the police determined that Li Xiaoxin was not driving fast and did not exceed the speed limit.

The vehicle's braking system was also normal, and there were obvious brake marks at the scene.

Moreover, according to Li Xiaoxin, there were no other vehicles at the scene of the incident.

The police also did not prove that Wang Yimeng really ran a red light
It happened to be raining at the scene and most of the traces disappeared.

There was no dashcam, no surveillance, it was far from the city, there were no other vehicles, and no witnesses.
The only person alive was the female driver Li Xiaoxin.

Moreover, it was raining that day, so it was normal for the road to be slippery on rainy days.

The police used various pieces of evidence but were unable to deduce the true situation at the time.

So in this case, there is no way to directly assign responsibility.

If Wang Yimeng really ran a red light as Li Xiaoxin said, then Wang Yimeng would be judged to be primarily responsible and Li Xiaoxin would bear secondary responsibility for the accident.

After all, if you run a red light and fail to obey traffic rules, you will definitely bear the main responsibility if an accident occurs.

Of course, Wang Yimeng was in a disadvantaged position on the zebra crossing, even if he was riding an electric bike.

We also need to consider the speed at which the female driver was driving, whether she observed the intersection, and whether she braked.

Simply put, Wang Yimeng ran a red light, Wang Yimeng bears the main responsibility, and Li Xiaoxin bears the secondary responsibility.

If Wang Yimeng was crossing the road normally and Li Xiaoxin ran a red light, then Li Xiaoxin would bear full responsibility for the accident.

There is insufficient evidence to determine the responsibility. After much effort, the police finally issued a road traffic accident certificate.

The road traffic accident certificate records the time, location, and parties involved in the traffic accident.
The police also made it clear that they were unable to determine the responsibility for the accident due to insufficient evidence and heavy rain.

The police informed Li Xiaoxin and Wang Yimeng's parents.

Simply put, the police cannot assign responsibilities.

How should responsibilities be divided specifically?

The only options are negotiation, mediation, or civil litigation.
The court will make a comprehensive judgment on the division of responsibilities based on the evidence presented by both parties and the specific circumstances of the case.

Li Xiaoxin insisted that Wang Yimeng's parents compensate her for the cost of repairing her car and the cost of depreciation.
Li Xiaoxin asked Wang Yimeng to take responsibility.

But Wang Yimeng is already an adult and has died.

Even if they have to bear various expenses, it has nothing to do with Wang Yimeng's parents.

Gu Chen read the case from beginning to end.

This case is indeed complicated.

The police conducted various investigations, but in the end they were unable to determine responsibility for the accident and asked both parties to mediate or file a civil lawsuit.

Normally, if a car accident causes death, the maximum sentence is three years in prison, and then you have to pay compensation.

As long as you don't escape, you will be sentenced to a maximum of three years in prison.

But the complexity of this case lies in the fact that there is no surveillance and it is impossible to convict.

The heavy rain was one thing, and Li Xiaoxin said Wang Yimeng ran a red light was another.
"This case is a bit complicated." Gu Chen said.

"Well, boss, Wang Yimeng's parents have come to our law firm, and they want to sue you." Xue Qingqing said.

"Okay, let me find out about the situation." Gu Chen said.

He really has no time to rest.

I just finished the first trial of Zhao Sisi's case.
Even before Zhao Sisi's second-instance trial began, Wang Haodong's case was not over.

A new case has emerged.

Gu Chen didn't waste any time and decided to see what the case was all about.

For complicated cases, it is necessary to go to court.

If he doesn't care about this case, let both parties conduct civil litigation.
At most, Li Xiaoxin will be required to bear some civil compensation and pay money.
As for how much compensation to be paid, it depends on how the court decides.

In the absence of sufficient evidence, Li Xiaoxin still has to bear civil liability for compensation since he killed someone on a zebra crossing.

This is also because there were obvious brake marks at the scene, and the police judged that Li Xiaoxin was not speeding.

Otherwise, even if there was no surveillance video, as long as Li Xiaoxin was speeding, Li Xiaoxin would still be held primarily responsible in the end.

After all, it was Li Xiaoxin who hit someone with her car.
Unless there is real evidence to prove that Wang Yimeng ran a red light.

If it weren't for the heavy rain, the police would have been able to collect more evidence.

It was just that there was a heavy rainstorm yesterday, so it was difficult to collect evidence after the incident.

Gu Chen met Wang Yimeng's father and mother.

Wang Yimeng's father is Wang Zhilong.

Wang Yimeng's mother is Zhang Yan.

"Hello." Gu Chen met the two people.

Wang Yimeng's father and mother both have white hair and look haggard.

"Lawyer Gu, my son is called Wang Yimeng. He just graduated from the college entrance examination and was admitted to Zhongnan University of Economics and Law with excellent grades."

"He usually tries to make money on Kuaishou. He registered an ID called [Xiao Xiao Xiao Xin] and another ID called [Xi Yan loves to eat fish]. The child is very sensible."

"Lawyer Gu, my son never runs a red light. He has never run a red light! I can confirm this. My son has never run a red light since he was a child. He even forbids us to run a red light."

"Even if there is no car on the road, my son will never run a red light."

"During this period, he has been tutoring. He arrives at 5pm every day and finishes at 7pm. He can be back at 8pm. He has been doing this for a month."

"But you know what? My son went to tutoring yesterday and was supposed to be back at 8pm, but he was still not back at :pm and I couldn't get through to him when I called him."

"When the doctor called, he said my son had been in a car accident and had passed away."

“I can’t accept that”

“The police asked us to mediate.”

"Li Xiaoxin kept saying that my son ran a red light, and I felt that there was something wrong. My son never ran a red light for so many years, and he didn't let us run a red light. How could he run a red light himself?"

"Also, my son was supposed to be home at 8pm, but I couldn't contact him until 9:30pm. It only takes him an hour to get home, but when I saw the time of my son's accident, they said it was already 9pm."

"My son's accident site is not far from his tutor's place. He only needs to ride his electric scooter for a while. Even if it rained heavily, he would have been back long ago."

"And I contacted the student's mother, who said that her son left at 7pm, and it wasn't raining at the time. It only started to rain at 8:30pm, and it rained heavily for two hours from 8:30pm to 10:30pm."

“My son would have come home a long time ago!!”

"He usually comes home on time, but this time he didn't come home."

"My son leaves for home at seven o'clock, and it only takes five minutes to get to the intersection of Changfeng West Street!"

"My son got into a car accident at that intersection at around 9pm? How is that possible?"

"My son should have come home a long time ago!!"

"Lawyer Gu, my son has told me about you. He respects you very much and likes you very much. He often watches your live broadcasts and your lawsuits, and then takes notes."

"My son is going to study law in college. He decided to become a lawyer after watching your live broadcast, so he chose law as his major in college and has been admitted."

"But. My son."

"I feel something is wrong."

"Li Xiaoxin is definitely lying!"

"I don't think my son had to die. The doctor said that his wound was not serious, just a head injury. But the fatal cause was not the head injury, but the bleeding."

"The doctor said my son was bleeding a lot"

"It was just that it was raining heavily at the time, and the bloodstains were washed away."

"Lawyer Gu, please help me help my son."

"Li Xiaoxin is clearly the murderer! He was the one who killed my son. Although I don't know what happened, my son has always been very obedient. It's impossible for him to run a red light that day, and it's even more impossible for him to be ready to go home at seven o'clock and not be home at nine o'clock."

"My son said the day before yesterday that you were almost done with the Zhao Sisi case and were about to start broadcasting. He said he wanted to go home early yesterday to watch your live broadcast and learn from your popularization of law."

Wang Yifan's parents spoke up.

After hearing this, Gu Chen decided to investigate the case.

Wang Yifan is a freshman-to-be with good grades, studying law, and even a fan of his.

Gu Chen decided to see what the situation was with this case.

The police haven't found anything yet.
Gu Chen decided to open the system directly!

ps: The second trial of Zhao Sisi's case will be decided tomorrow
