Today is a big day for the Wen family, the retrial of the case five years ago will be held, if it goes well, it is very likely that he will be released in court, and Wen Xinwu will be able to return home in the afternoon.

Early in the morning, the old lady got up to work, and she felt that she had not been so careful before the Spring Festival. The son's bedding and pillow have been drying in the yard for several days in a row, but in fact, now in the summer, the thick quilt can't cover it at all, and Xiaocheng doesn't want to say more in his eyes.

Since yesterday, I have been preparing the same ingredients, pig's trotters, elbows, and ribs, and I can almost put together a whole pig. Except that there is no couplet on the door, it feels like the New Year.

The old lady didn't know where she got the news, saying that her son would be released in court if he entered, and she was ready early. Xiao Cheng couldn't help but take a precautionary shot and said: "Grandma, although the case is very certain, my dad may not be able to come back today, don't be too happy, flash it when the time comes." ”

Grandma Wen stopped what she was doing and said word by word: "It's good to be back, let's celebrate together, if you can't come back today, it doesn't matter, at least there is hope." ”

I have talked to many professional legal professionals, no matter how unkind this case is, the sentence will definitely be changed, at least 10 years will be reduced, and the vast majority of people think that Wen Xinwu can be released in court. But after all, it is ultimately up to the court's verdict to prevail, and everything is subject to change before the verdict is rendered.

Grandma has reason to celebrate, even if it is the worst outcome, the sentence is commuted to ten years in prison, counting the more than five years that have already been served and the two commutations, as well as possible future commutations, it will be two more years at most.

And the old lady was originally ready to grit her teeth and stiffen for 20 years.

Those five years or so have been a torment for Xiaocheng, and why not for Grandma Wen, who is over sixty years old?

Xiaocheng couldn't persuade him anymore, a few buns were stuffed into his mouth, and he had to change his clothes and go out. As soon as the clothes were retrieved, the grandmother pushed the door open and came in again, dragging a neat suit in her hand.

"Here, put this set on. ”

Xiao Cheng was stunned, dressed in a brand-new suit, and didn't even tear off the label. There are also matching shirts, leather shoes, and ties.

"Grandma, on this hot day, I can't wear a suit. ”

The old lady glared at Xiao Cheng, didn't speak, and put her shirt on him without saying anything. When Xiao Cheng saw it, he was also embarrassed that the old lady was happy, three times five divided by two, a formal suit on his body, not to mention, seven or eight hundred suits on his body, people suddenly became a lot more mature.

Grandma let Xiao Cheng turn around in place several times, it seemed that he couldn't get enough of it, Xiao Cheng learned the appearance of the model on TV, posed a few poses, and amused the old lady at once. The clothes fit very well, the labels were cut, the grandmother finished cutting, and she arranged the collar again, and fiddled with the cuffs, seeing that her grandson was already an adult, and she changed into a formal suit, and she could vaguely see the shadow of her son when he first joined the work.

At this time, a horn sounded outside the door, and Professor Dai's car had already arrived at the door, and the old lady reluctantly let go of her hand, "Go ahead." ”

"Grandma, aren't you going to listen along?"

The old lady shook her head, "There is a lot of work at home." ”

..................

The media momentum in the early stage, coupled with the gimmick of Xiaocheng Olympiad champion, this court session really attracted a lot of media attention. The case was heard in public, but the door of the court was not so easy to enter, and many reporters could not get their witness cards, so they had to gather in front of the courthouse and wait for Wen Xiaocheng at the entrance.

The court started at nine o'clock in the morning, and many people had already gathered at the entrance of the court at half past eight o'clock, and this situation was not much more than the divorce of celebrities. In addition to the media, there are also many followers in the legal circle, including several doctoral supervisors of the Law Department of Xiangyang University, and a number of legal workers under the Xiangyang Lawyers Association, who have applied to audit with a learning attitude.

Wen Xinwu doesn't have many relatives, but he still has a few friends, colleagues from the teacher's school back then, students who have taught, and of course, Taihu, Wang Yang, Kang Long, Luohan, Nezha, these brothers who met in it, plus Lu Songyan, a witness, basically the people in the decoration company came.

As soon as Xiao Cheng got out of the car, the long guns and short guns of the media surrounded him, and there were a bunch of people surrounding Barrister Wen at the door.

"Classmate Wen Xiaocheng, how sure are you of avenging your father's grievances this time? The trial is going to start today, do you think Ling Zun Wen Xinwu will be acquitted?"

Xiaocheng is not a big star, so he is not good at playing a big name, and replied in a proper manner: "I don't think the word "grievance for my father" is not very appropriate, speaking of which, my father is not wronged, and he did not appeal after the verdict of this case back then, and it is precisely because of this." I just found some new evidence after the fact, which will definitely affect the sentencing, but I didn't find it at the original trial, so now, I have to take these factors into account and re-sentence. ”

Even if the verdict is to be changed today, it does not mean that the judgment of the year was wrong, but that these important pieces of evidence were not found at that time, so that the judges of the year will not be involved, and the resistance to overturning the case will be much smaller.

"If the court acquits your father, then his previous five-year sentence is unjustly imprisoned, will you apply for state compensation?"

Xiao Cheng shook his head: "This matter ultimately needs to be decided by the parties, that is, my father, but with my understanding of him, I don't think so, he told me when he visited the prison before, prison life is a kind of reform for him, but also a kind of experience, if the court determines that his behavior is justified defense, it is only not criminally responsible, it does not mean that he is completely at fault, because this fault is serving five years in prison, and it can be regarded as a worthy conscience." ”

There are more reporters who want to ask questions, but what Xiaocheng should have said has already been said in the show, seeing that the time is about the same, he hurriedly walked inside with Lawyer Wen and Professor Dai, and after the security check, a group of media people were still shouting Wen Xiaocheng's name behind him.

Xiangyang Municipal People's Court, Xiaocheng came five years ago.

At that time, I followed my grandmother and mother, sat in the auditorium, looked at my father in the dock, and shouted Dad, and everyone present was broken!

Now, it's still this court, and it happens to be this court.

But this time, my grandmother didn't come, and my mother wasn't around.

The auditorium was already densely packed with people at this time, and with the permission of the court, some television stations have set up camera equipment in the back, and the trial will be videotaped in its entirety.

In the courtroom, the three judges were already seated, and the clerks also came down to check the names of the people who appeared in court one by one, and checked their identity documents.

"Dad!" Xiao Cheng shouted.

Wen Xinwu turned his head, glanced at the son of the defense seat, nodded, and showed a relieved smile.

There are many things that cannot be written thoroughly, but you can understand it, is what Xiao Cheng said to the media really what he thinks? Perhaps, no matter whether he speaks or writes a book, sometimes he has to compromise with reality in order to achieve his goal.
