As a Lawyer, You Sent the Judge In?

Chapter 284 How many years in prison is appropriate? A perfect verdict!

 The public prosecution against Hu Jun, Ma Hu and others has begun.

 All parties are seated.

 After the pretrial preparations are completed, the members of the collegial panel enter the court.

 After the presiding judge banged his gavel.

  The prosecutors began to accuse Hu Jun, Ma Hu and others of their crimes one by one.

“The defendant, Hu Jun, engaged in favoritism and malpractice in the first-instance case against Xue and others because he accepted bribes and a large number of benefits.”

“Including cash, gifts, etc., the total value is nearly 700,000.”

“The evidence is conclusive and the criminal facts are clear. The prosecutor will use this to prosecute Hu Jun.”

 “Recommended sentence: eight years in prison.”

“The defendant was careless and engaged in malpractice for personal gain in the case against Xue.”

ˆ “.”

 “Recommended sentence: three years’ imprisonment.”

ˆ “.”

 After accusing Hu Jun, Ma Hu and others of their crimes.

 The prosecutor continued to state the crimes and experiences of the remaining relevant persons.

 The statement lasted nearly half an hour.

 After finishing the statement.

 The prosecutor looked towards the court seat.

“Presiding judge, the prosecution has finished its statement.”

 Dong dong dong!

 The presiding judge banged the gavel and asked the attorneys of Hu Jun, Ma Hu and others to make statements.

 In this trial.

 The relevant facts and basis have been stated, and the chain of evidence is complete. There is almost no room for defense by Hu Jun, Ma Hu and others.

so.…

 There is no major turning point in the case of Ma Hu and others entrusting lawyers to make statements.

Only based on the sentence, I want the presiding judge to slow down their sentence.

 And expressed his attitude: plead guilty and accept punishment!

But there is one exception. Hu Jun does not want to plead guilty and accept punishment.

As the chief criminal judge, Hu Jun is very clear about the judgment of his own behavior. If the judgment is based on the prosecution's accusation.

Then, the court will at least sentence the sentence recommended by the prosecutor, which is eight years in prison.

 Eight years in prison is too long for Hu Jun.

 If you want to reduce your crime, you must separate bribery and favoritism.

 The two cannot be related together, then your sentence may be reduced to six years in prison.

 If you behave well in prison, you may be released from prison in four years after serving a six-year sentence.

Therefore, Hu Jun’s attorney did not plead guilty and accept punishment, but stated his defense point of commutation:

  “In this case.”

“Our client did not make the judgment against Zhang, Li, Xue and others because he received relevant benefits.”

“Hu Jun and Lin Changtian, the deputy prime minister of Shun’an Co., Ltd., establish relevant interest relationships first and make judgments later.”

“The fact that there is only a bribery relationship between the two does not mean that due to the previous bribery relationship, there was any malpractice for personal gain in this trial.”

 This defense point of view is that Hu Jun does not think that he was sentenced to Zhang, Li and Xue for personal gain and perverting the law because of accepting bribes.

 And Hu Jun did not agree that he had made a judgment that was based on partiality and perverted the law.

 Just think that you have accepted bribes, and you should punish yourself according to the relevant regulations on bribery.

“We believe that the sentence imposed on our client is too harsh.”

“We have expressed our views and are willing to take the initiative to return the corresponding accounts and ask for leniency in terms of the prison term.”

“President, the above is our point of view.”

After Hu Jun’s attorney finished his statement, he glanced in Hu Jun’s direction.

 The above-mentioned relevant pleas were all requested by Hu Jun.

 Make a statement through the defense lawyer.

only.…

 Tsk tsk.…

How shameless is this kind of statement?

Su Bai looked at the defendant's lawyer's seat and didn't talk about anything else.

 Simply speaking, Hu Jun has an interest relationship with Lin Changtian, the vice president of Shun'an Co., Ltd.

Since there is an exchange of interests, it is also stated that it is not a case of favoritism due to the exchange of interests.

Who would believe these words?

 Will the presiding judge and the collegial panel adopt it?

Certainly not!

Why?

 Because the two of you have had related interests before.

 When Lin Changtian, Vice President of Shun'an Co., Ltd., is delivering benefits to you.

 You have already acquiesced and accepted the other party's relevant entrustment without rejecting it.

 Otherwise, why were the judgments of the first instance and the second instance so large?

 Can you explain in a reasonable way what is meant by disrupting public order?

Hu Jun’s statement can indeed be defended to a certain extent.

 But the court will not agree with this situation, because the court has already determined your subjective performance through objective factual basis.

To ensure that the court disagreed, Su Bai raised his hand and, after getting permission from the presiding judge, stated:

“We believe that the statement made by the lawyer appointed by the defendant Hu Jun should be rejected.”

“And we believe that Hu Jun’s behavior should be dealt with seriously and given a full verdict!”

 “The reason is as follows:”

“I would like to ask the defendant Hu Jun a question.”

“During the first-instance judgment, why did you, as the presiding judge at the time, not adopt so many matters that I listed and expelled me from the court in anger?”

“Why do you still use your right to trial to expel me when I have clearly stated my right to defense?”

“The two most important judgment points at that time were booing and disrupting public order.

 During the presentation process, I was arguing with the prosecutor at the time.

Why didn’t you state the basis for favoring the prosecutor’s point of view at the court hearing?

 Having the right to defend in court is the right of every entrusted lawyer.

　　Why did you deprive me of my rights as a client lawyer and prohibit me from making statements in the court hearing?

You said at the time that I disrupted the order of the trial. We can take a look at the video of the trial and see if I disrupted the order of the trial!

So I would like to ask you at the end, what were your thoughts in expelling me from the trial? "

“Please ask the defendant Hu Jun to answer these questions!”

 Hu Jun remained silent and did not speak.

He cannot answer these questions and cannot answer them.

Su Bai continued his statement: "The statement of the lawyer entrusted by the defendant is to completely separate the bribery from the judgment."

“But I would like to ask the defendant, why did Lin Changtian find you for bribery?”

“According to Lin Changtian’s statement during the review by law enforcement authorities, he did so to make it more convenient for him to do things in the court in the future.”

“So if it is more convenient for Lin Chengtian to do things in the court, should we make it more convenient for the defendant Hu Jun?”

"obviously!"

“There is an inevitable connection between bribery and judgment, rather than what the defendant Hu Jun and his client simply said. There is no necessary connection between the two.”

“Furthermore, we believe that the reason why Hu Jun’s sentence was too light in this judgment is based on what Lin Changtian stated and the factual evidence investigated by the prosecutor.”

“He had bribed Hu Jun many times, and the amount each time was more than 30,000 yuan.”

“According to the relevant legal basis, Hu Jun should be sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years.”

“But judging from the plot, Hu Jun’s social influence is huge. Almost every bribery incident has a tendentious verdict.”

"And these judgments are all in favor of Shun'an Co., Ltd. Hu Jun personally or Hu Jun requested his colleagues to favor Shun'an Co., Ltd. in the judgment."

 “This has been suspected to be a very serious problem.”

"Based on the above, we believe that Hu Jun is suspected of serious and egregious behavior." After Su Bai finished his statement, Hu Jun's face turned pale in the defendant's seat.

Want to raise a voice to question.

But before the words came out of his mouth, he realized that he was not at the judgment seat now.

 He had no right to shut up Su Bai or ask Su Bai to leave the court hearing.

 He is now just a defendant.

 Realizing this, Hu Jun's face turned even more livid! .

 ….

After Su Bai finished his statement, the presiding judge announced that the court was adjourned.

 The atmosphere in the court hearing was condensed.

However, the discussions among the audience watching the trial outside the court were extremely intense.

"Fuck! Seeing this trial and the defendant, Hu Jun's face became even more livid! I guess he is used to it because he has been sitting on the trial bench.

Unconvinced by Lawyer Su's questioning of him in this court hearing, he felt for a moment that he was still the presiding judge and wanted to speak.

But I suddenly realized that I was sitting in the defendant's seat, feeling powerless when being questioned but unable to refute. It was exciting to think about it! Cool! "

“Hahaha, I have this feeling. The footage of the trial was shown to the defendant’s seat. I suspect this was intentional, just to let us watch and relieve our anger!”

 “It makes sense!”

“But I still want to know, how many years will this presiding judge be sentenced to? What I want to see is this!”

“I don’t know, but I guess the sentence should be quite light. He didn’t admit guilt and accept punishment at the trial, and he still wants to reduce his criminal responsibility?”

 “I think he is just dreaming!”

“Yes, this kind of person should be sentenced to death!”

　　　….”

 At the same time, the collegial court was discussing in the room.

 Relevant issues involved in this trial.

 Originally, members of the collegial panel have already conducted corresponding discussions.

  But for the point raised by Su Bai, the sentence should be increased and the sentence should be the highest.

 It made the presiding judge of this trial think it was feasible, and asked the other two judges for their opinions.

One of the judges said: "Based on the amount, eight years in prison is actually equivalent to a heavier sentence."

“After all, according to relevant criminal laws, a person who pays less than 2 million shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years.”

“I think eight years is enough for Hu Jun.”

 But these views were refuted by another judge: “I don’t think it’s possible!”

“Although the amount of money is enough to sentence him to eight years in prison, the circumstances of what Hu Jun did were egregious and had a huge impact.”

“Even if an ordinary presiding judge faces some emergencies during a trial, he will only write down the sentence in the judgment at the end of the trial, and will not directly angrily criticize other client lawyers in the courtroom.”

 “To expel a person from the court.”

“This time the voice of public opinion is not only the voice of netizens, but also the voices of many lawyers in the legal circle, as well as workers in the courts and procuratorates.”

“These people in the legal circle have a very clear understanding of the construction of the rule of law and related information.”

“Hu Jun’s behavior is completely equivalent to destroying the rules and systems of court trials.”

“The impact is huge, and the impact on the legal system is also very bad and huge.”

“This kind of behavior is particularly egregious. I don’t think there are any other problems with the verdict.”

 The presiding judge was silent for a few seconds and then asked the leader of the Intermediate Court for instructions.

 After getting the corresponding answer, he took a deep breath: "Well, it's a perfect judgment!"

.

 ….

 The adjournment is over.

 The relevant persons involved in the court hearing, all eyes were focused on the trial bench.

 At the judgment seat, after determining how the judgment should be made.

 The presiding judge also asked Hu Jun to state the relevant conditions for commutation of his sentence.

 Is there any legal basis and relevant evidence, or is there any meritorious performance.

This time, Hu Jun did not let his attorney make a statement, but made his own statement.

“Presiding judge, as the presiding judge, you should also be aware of the issues involved in the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble. This crime may be difficult to grasp in some aspects.”

 “I know that my judgment was wrong, and I admit my guilt and accept the punishment.”

“I hope the presiding judge can give me a lighter sentence.”

During the adjournment of the court, Hu Jun thought clearly that this time the sentence was targeted at him, and if he refused to plead guilty, the sentence might be more severe.

  Simply hope that the presiding judge can act out of sympathy and give him a lighter sentence.

It's just that during this process, Su Bai made a speech and directly responded angrily.

“This crime is difficult to grasp, so why do you give a harsher sentence to the defendant?”

“And why should we add that the defendant organized people to commit illegal crimes?”

 “Don’t you know that organizing personnel is a necessary condition for increasing the sentence?!”

“Presiding judge, the defendant obviously acted intentionally during the trial. I would like to ask the presiding judge to find out the trial process at that time and gain a relevant understanding of the facts.”

On the bench, the presiding judge smiled: "I already know the relevant facts very well."

“Defendant Hu Jun, does the defendant Hu Jun have anything else to say?”

 After receiving no answer, the presiding judge banged the hammer and began to read out the verdict.

“In response to this public prosecution filed by the prosecutor, the verdict is now announced:”

"as follows:"

“The defendant Hu Jun is suspected of corruption, bending the law for personal gain, and bending the law in judgment, etc., which has caused serious social impact and seriously violated the legal rights and interests of the law.”

“For Hu Jun’s behavior and the multiple crimes involved, he is sentenced to ten years in prison!”

“And, the illegal gains shall be confiscated and fined 50,000 yuan.”

“The defendant was sentenced to three years in prison for being careless.”

　　　….”

 The presiding judge read out the verdicts one by one.

The remainder of the sentence ranged from one to three years in prison.

 Hu Jun is the only one with the highest verdict.

 Because the charges involved by Hu Jun were relatively serious, the sentence was also very severe, and he was given a maximum sentence.

 After the reading was completed, the presiding judge struck the hammer.

 “Closed court!”

 But at this time, Hu Jun expressed his dissatisfaction on the spot.

“Why should I be sentenced to death?”

 “I do not obey the verdict of the second instance.”

 “I think this judgment is personal and I have other opinions and views.”

 “I ask the presiding judge to revoke my sentence!”

While speaking, Hu Jun went berserk at the court hearing and angrily scolded the presiding judge on the bench.

The two bailiffs next to Hu Jun saw this and pressed him firmly on the defendant's seat.

 But even so, Hu Jun still used his greatest strength to express his dissatisfaction.

 “I don’t accept it!”

“This is discrimination against me and objection to me, so I was given a maximum sentence.”

“I ask the High Court to transfer the jurisdiction of judgment!”

 “Otherwise, I will never plead guilty!”

 “Not guilty! Do you understand?!”

 Hu Jun roared crazily in the courtroom.

At the trial stage, the presiding judge heard Hu Jun's crazy roar and didn't show any expression.

 Just glanced at it lightly, and then left the trial bench with two other members of the collegial panel.
