"Do you agree with the fact of the robbery?" Fang Yi asked.

"Recognize, I really did it, I really only robbed 210 yuan, at that time I said that I was from the police station, just to scare the other party, I really didn't think about it so much.

Besides, I don't look like a policeman! Otherwise, the other party would not suspect my identity and ask me for my documents. Xiao Song said a little emotionally.

"Well, I see. If your father entrusts me with your defense, I will see you again and tell you the final defense. After Fang Yi finished speaking, he began to pack his briefcase.

The next day, Fang Yi went to the Intermediate People's Court to retrieve the case file materials and began to work overtime to analyze the case.

On Monday afternoon, Mr. Xiao and his wife walked into the conference room of Goldstone Law Firm again.

"Teacher Xiao, I went to see your son Xiao Song, and I also went to the Intermediate Court to retrieve the case file materials.

Judging from the case file materials and your son's description of the case, I think there is nothing wrong with the court of first instance finding that Xiao Song was guilty of robbery. However, the court found that he pretended to be a people's police officer to commit a robbery, and that there was a situation where he was given a heavier punishment in accordance with the law. Fang Yi said.

"Lawyer Fang, can you speak more clearly, I don't understand what you mean." Teacher Xiao said with a frown.

"In other words, I can't defend your son's innocence, but I can try to get rid of the 'robbery by impersonating the police' and get your son a smaller sentence." Fang Yi said.

"How long is a less sentence?" Teacher Xiao asked.

"If it is found to be an ordinary crime of robbery, and there are no circumstances for heavier punishment in accordance with the law, the sentence shall be between three and ten years in prison. It depends on the court's finding and your son's guilty plea. Fang Yi said.

"Oh, I see, that is, you can save my son a few years in prison, right?" Teacher Xiao said.

"Well, yes." Fang Yi nodded.

"My son has done something unreasonable and deserves to be arrested, and I am a teacher and I understand it. I, who was a father, have disciplined him since he was a child, and his mother has doted on him ......, so let's do it according to your plan, and we have brought the lawyer's fees today. Teacher Xiao, who looked tangled, looked at his tear-stained wife, put his hand on the back of his wife's hand, patted it gently, and then said.

Fang Yi didn't feel good in his heart, and he didn't know what their son Xiao Song would think when he saw this situation.

Fang Yi came to the detention center again to meet Xiao Song and told him his defense plan, Xiao Song was surprisingly quiet, didn't say much, and after signing the entrustment procedures, asked Fang Yi to bring a message to his parents: The son is not filial!

Some people say that there are three places that exercise people the most, one is the university, one is the army, and the other is the prison, and this sentence may be true from a certain point of view. Especially the latter two places, which can make a man grow up faster.

Before the October 1 holiday, the second trial of Xiao Song's case finally began.

In the No. 8 courtroom of the Intermediate People's Court, there were more than 10 people sitting in the auditorium, some watching the excitement and some of the victim's friends, whispering to each other. Mr. Xiao and his wife sat in the corner, silently waiting for the court to begin.

There were two female prosecutors sitting on the prosecutor's bench, both of whom were not very old, one in her thirties and the other in her twenties, who were whispering.

The bench was empty, the judge had not yet taken his seat, and the clerk was busy with something, the keyboard in his hand crackling.

There were five bailiffs in the courtroom, two bailiffs standing in the doorway, and three bailiffs surveying the auditorium, turning around, ready for the trial. A few moments later, three judges entered the courtroom and prepared to begin the trial.

Of the three judges, a female judge in her forties sits in the center, with a face as deep as water, and the male judge on either side is younger.

"The Municipal Intermediate People's Court is now trying in open court in the case of Xiao Song's robbery, which appealed." As the words fell, the presiding judge rang the gavel: "Bring the appellant Xiao Song to court." ”

As soon as the door of the trial court opened, Mr. Xiao and his wife turned their heads to look at the door, their eyes were complicated, and they saw Xiao Song walking into the courtroom in handcuffs and wearing a detention center vest under the escort of two bailiffs, and sat in the appellant's seat.

The presiding judge was checking the appellant's information and reading out the appellant's rights, and Xiao Song, who was sitting below, kept hanging his head, not knowing what he was thinking. Fang Yi held the grounds of appeal in his hand and waited for the start of the court investigation.

"Now the court investigation will begin and the verdict of the first instance will be read." After the presiding judge finished speaking, he picked up the verdict and began to read it.

After simply reading out the first-instance verdict, the presiding judge looked at Xiao Song: "Next, the appellant Xiao Song will first read out the appeal petition or state the reasons for the appeal. ”

"When I robbed, I only verbally said that I was from the police station, and I did not have any police identity marks on me, and the court of first instance found that I was impersonating a police officer to commit the robbery, which was wrong. I'm not pretending to be a police officer to rob. Xiao Song's eyes were a little dazed, and he didn't dare to look at the judge above.

"The appellant's defence counsel issues grounds of appeal." The presiding judge said.

"The defender believes that the appellant Xiao Song only verbally claimed that he was a police officer from the police station, and the victim had doubts about the appellant's identity and waited at the scene of the crime many times, and finally arrested the appellant Xiao Song, indicating that the victim did not believe Xiao Song's identity as a police officer from beginning to end.

Under these circumstances, the court of first instance found that the appellant Xiao Song had "robbed by pretending to be a member of the military and police" and imposed a heavier punishment, which was obviously incommensurate with the criminal responsibility and punishment. The court is requested to revoke the original judgment and change the judgment in accordance with law. Complete! Fang Yi said.

"Appellant Xiao Song, do you have any objections to the facts and charges found in the first-instance verdict?" The presiding judge asked.

"I have no objection to the charges found in the first instance, I committed the robbery, but I do not recognize the robbery by impersonating the police." Xiao Song said.

"The procurator may question the appellant about the facts ascertained in the first-instance judgment." The presiding judge looked at the prosecutor's bench.

"Appellant Xiao Song, do you know the victim?" The female inspector asked coldly.

"I don't know." Xiao Song said.

"How did you know that the victim was in the woods?" The female prosecutor asked.

"I went into the woods, and I happened to see the victim in the woods, so I passed." Xiao Song said.

"What did you do when you walked over there?" The female prosecutor then asked.

"I told him I was from the police station, and I was catching Piao Sing." Xiao Song hesitated.

"And then? Do you have the relevant documents? Or something that can identify you as a police officer? The female prosecutor asked with a cold face.

"No, at that time, he (the victim) asked me for my documents, but I didn't, so I kicked him down in a hurry and robbed him." Xiao Song lowered his head and said.

"Presiding Judge, I'm done." The female prosecutor looked at the presiding judge.
