On the morning of this day, as soon as Fang Yi arrived at the law firm, Xie Youhe came over with a big teacup and a smile: "Do you remember the criminal case that Liu Fang gave us last time?" It's the one you went back to. ”

"Did Li Daolin deliberately hurt that case?" Fang Yi thought about it.

"Yes, it is a criminal case in which the defendant was sentenced to 10 years in prison in the first instance. Yesterday morning, the second trial came down, and just like you said, the court of second instance upheld the original verdict.

Yesterday afternoon, the client ran to the office to find Liu Fang, and quarreled all afternoon, and finally Liu Fang called Lawyer Zhao, who co-handled the case, and wanted Lawyer Zhao to refund the fee together, but Lawyer Zhao did not do it, and Liu Fang quarreled with Lawyer Zhao again. Xie Youhe said in a low voice.

"What did you do in the end?" Fang Yi asked.

"Refund the money! The party called a group of people and blocked Liu Fang in the conference room until the evening without giving money and not letting her go. It's useless to call the police, the police came to see that they didn't make trouble, they just wanted to say the law, they didn't care at all, and they went back when they showed their faces.

In the end, there was really no way, Liu Fang paid for the lawyer's fee and refunded it. It's right that you didn't take the case at that time, otherwise with Lawyer Liu's humanity, you would definitely have to drag our team into the pit. Xie Youhe said with a gloating face.

"How did Lawyer Zhao solve it?" Fang Yi then asked.

In order to prevent her client from being poached by other lawyers, Liu Fang contacted the client in a single line, she patted her chest to others, and Lawyer Zhao never patted her chest, just handled the case normally, so Lawyer Zhao was not afraid.

Now that the case is completed, the parties want to refund the fees, and Lawyer Zhao is not afraid of any lawsuit where it goes, so naturally it is impossible to return a penny to Liu Fang. Xie Youhe said.

"As soon as this incident comes out, I'm afraid that the lawyers in the firm will not cooperate with Liu Fang in the future." Fang Yi sighed.

"It's hard to say, as long as the interests are big enough, Liu Fang can still find a lawyer to work with, after all, not every lawyer is so honest and afraid of risks.

There is a saying: When the woods are big, any bird will have them. There are also many lawyers, like businessmen, who dare to do anything as long as they have enough interests. There are more than one or two lawyers sentenced by the court every year! Xie Youhe sneered.

During this time, Fang Yi has been studying Zeng Xueqin's case, he went to the Municipal Procuratorate to find Prosecutor Xiao in charge of the case to communicate the case, Prosecutor Xiao's opinion is generally the same as Fang Yi's opinion, Zeng Xueqin constitutes the crime of intentional injury, but in terms of sentencing, Prosecutor Xiao did not express his position, Fang Yi felt that the other party would most likely be sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in accordance with the provisions of Article 234 of the Criminal Law.

After that, Fang Yi went to the Intermediate People's Court to transfer the case file, and the facts of the case and the evidence submitted in the case file were relatively simple, which was basically the same as what the other party said when he met Zeng Xueqin before. After Fang Yi finished writing his defense plan, he made an appointment to meet with Zeng Xueqin at the detention center and met with Zeng Xueqin again.

Time has entered the winter in a flash, and the weather is cold, but even so, there is no snow. Outside the gate of the detention center, there were lawyers, men and women, all of them with their necks shrunk from the cold, tightly wrapped in cotton coats, stomping their feet from time to time, inhaling snot, and the only means of heating was cigarettes.

Some experts say that this year is a warm winter, and it is estimated that if he goes to the door of the detention center and shouts "warm winter", he will not be beaten to death, but will also be scolded to death.

Qualified lawyers sit in their cars and take a keen look at the movements of the lawyers in front of the detention center's gate to determine whether the detention center's door has been opened, and are ready to carry their bags into the detention center at any time.

Fang Yi arrived at the gate of the detention center early to line up, the northwest wind blew his face from time to time like a small knife, it was really cold, it was only half an hour, and his face was already frozen.

The big iron door of the detention center finally opened wide, and the sound of the squeaking and twisting of the shaft under the big iron door sounded like heaven at this time, which immediately attracted the attention of all the lawyers.

In the detention center meeting room, Fang Yi rubbed his fingers that were frozen and were no longer very flexible, and then looked at Zeng Xueqin opposite.

Fang Yi has always felt that Mr. Zeng's name is good, and he studied hard for the sake of diligence, but it was obvious that Mr. Zeng lived up to this name, and he went out to work with his fellow villagers before graduating from junior high school. Later, after a lot of hard work, I suffered a lot of hardships and suffered a lot of sins, so I gained a firm foothold in the fruit industry and earned the first pot of gold in my life.

Mr. Zeng's experience fully embodies that sentence: heroes don't ask where they come from, and wealth should think about the reason. No one can succeed casually without work (except, of course, some second generations).

"Brother, you and Lao Li are friends, we are also friends, let's put it this way, I have to be sentenced to a few years in this case, you just say it, I am prepared." Zeng Xueqin's boss is very generous, and at the same time mixed with a faint atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, giving people a feeling of boldness and righteousness.

Fang Yi had a good impression of him, and said seriously: "Mr. Zeng, I am going to defend you for the light crime, I have already read the case file, Chen Zhihong's cause of death was mainly a coronary heart attack, but your punch was one of the reasons that induced his coronary heart attack......"

Before he finished speaking, Zeng Xueqin interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Lawyer Fang, I believe you, you can do what you say. At that time, if I hadn't punched Lao Chen, he wouldn't have chased me, and he wouldn't have had coronary heart disease. So I admit it.

Although Lao Chen is my competitor, we don't have a good heart, but after all, we have been fighting for so many years, and we still have some feelings. And it was indeed my daughter-in-law who was wrong at the time, so I felt quite sorry for Lao Chen. Zeng Xueqin said seriously.

"Well, I have communicated with the procuratorate, and their attitude is more resolute, and they may recommend that the court sentence you to more than ten years in prison. But I will defend the lesser offense and try to reduce the sentence. Fang Yi said.

"Okay, just follow your plan." Zeng Xueqin nodded.

Zeng Xueqin's case went to trial the week after Fang Yi's meeting.

Fang Yi walked into the door of the Intermediate Court, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the last time he came here to defend Ding Dashan's crime of intentional injury, after a month, he walked into the courtroom of the Intermediate Court again to provide a defense for Zeng Xueqin's crime of intentional injury, and I hope that this time there will be a good result.

In the ninth courtroom, there were three judges sitting on it, the female judge in the middle was the presiding judge, Fang Yi glanced at the prosecutor opposite, and Prosecutor Xiao sat in the first place.

Sitting in the auditorium was Zeng Xueqin's wife Yuan Fang, she was still smeared with grease and powder, the puff was too thick to see what the expression was, and there were many people sitting next to her, probably Zeng Xueqin's friends. The Chen family also came, and sat quietly in the back. It is said that the Zeng family gave Chen Zhihong's family a lot of money, so the Chen family chose to settle the matter.

With the fall of the gavel, the trial officially began. Zeng Xueqin sat in the defendant's seat, his expression was very indifferent, the pride on his face was undiminished, and he tilted his head.

After the previous procedure was completed, the prosecutor began to read the indictment.
