Guo Guanghuai, who was sitting in the defendant's dock in the courtroom, had a blank face, tears on his face kept sliding, and the whole person seemed to have lost his soul, and his eyes were empty and blank. The most he said to the presiding judge was: I killed the person, I am sorry for Sun Li (the victim), and I am willing to fight with my life!

The trial process quickly came to the end, and the presiding judge asked Fang Yi to express his defense opinions.

Fang Yi knew very well that if the defense opinion was written too biased in favor of the defendant, it would easily cause public outrage, but if it was written without pain, it would not work, so Fang Yi changed more than ten drafts of the defense statement before the trial. But when it came time to actually express his defense opinions, Fang Yi finally put down his defense.

After pondering for a while, Fang Yi looked up at the trial seat and said, "Presiding Judge and Judge: Please allow me to express my deep condolences to the victims and their relatives.

There is no doubt that Guo Guanghuai's conduct constituted the crime of homicide (facts speak louder than words), this case stemmed from Guo Guanghuai's misunderstanding of the victim, and was an intentional homicide case caused by civil conflicts, and the defendant Guo Guanghuai's criminal methods were cruel and recidivist, and the crime should be sentenced to death.

However, in the process of arresting the defendant, the defendant's parents took the initiative to assist the public security organs in arresting him, and actively compensated the victim's family, requesting the court to consider the above circumstances as appropriate when making a judgment. Complete! ”

This is the shortest defense opinion issued by Fang Yi since he served as the defender of a criminal case.

……

After the trial, Fang Yi walked out of the courthouse gate, and the old couple of the Guo family stood outside the door and looked at him.

"Lawyer Fang, my son ......" Old Man Guo couldn't go on, because he already had a premonition that his son's death was not far off.

When Mrs. Guo came, she was still lucky, but after observing the trial, her heart was cold, and no matter how strong the lawyer's ability was, she was afraid that she would not be able to return to heaven.

"Old man, go back, I'll tell you when the verdict comes." Fang Yi didn't know how to persuade the old couple.

He also had a hunch that the verdict would not be too good, and that the death penalty was certain, but he didn't know whether it would be a reprieve, or an immediate execution, but judging from experience, he was more inclined to a reprieve.

Wanhua United Law Firm, in the director's office, Fang Yi described the trial to his boss Wan Kefa.

"How do you think this case will be judged?" Wan Kefa picked up the teacup, but before the tea could be eaten, the teacup fell on the coffee table again.

"I think the best outcome is a reprieve, but from the prosecutor's point of view, not killing is not enough to anger the people. On the judge's side, I feel that the final verdict may be taken into account by the media and the public...... Not optimistic! Fang Yi's mood was a little low.

"This case was originally a death penalty case, and you have done a good job. Okay, I'll explain it to the old couple of the Guo family. I hope there will be a good outcome. Wan Kefa nodded.

The litigation department is busy, and there are a lot of lawyers who come to the firm today, which may have something to do with the more case information released two days ago.

When Lawyer Ma saw Fang Yi coming out of the director's office, he was a little depressed and approached Lawyer Huang: "Huh? Lao Huang, you see. As he spoke, he snorted at Fang Yi's workstation.

"What's wrong?" Lawyer Huang followed his gaze.

"He just came out of the director's office, and his mood was a little low. It is estimated that it has been approved, and it will not be long after! Lawyer Ma shook his head slightly.

"Cut! I don't think so. Two days ago, someone gave him a pennant, and I think the boss is very optimistic about him. Lawyer Huang said.

"Really? But the world is unpredictable! Lawyer Ma returned to his desk after speaking.

On this day, during lunch at noon, Wang Deyou did not come out to eat because he needed to review the documents sent by the customer, so he stayed at the workstation to eat bread.

Fang Yi and Xie Youhe walked into the restaurant and happened to meet Mei Xiaoting.

"Xiaomei, are you back from a business trip?" Xie Youhe asked with a smile.

Although several people are in Wanhua United Law Firm, all in the same office building, they rarely meet each other because they are in different teams, and the non-litigation team often travels and is rarely in the law firm.

"I just came back yesterday, although there is not too much business here, but it is all big projects, I can't get out for half a month as soon as I enter the market, I am already very lucky with Lawyer Gu, I can always come back once or twice a month. Lawyer Sima and Zhou Yunyuan are even worse, they are working on an IPO project and have not come back for more than a month. Mei Xiaoting said as she found a table and sat down.

After the three of them finished ordering, Mei Xiaoting looked left and right, saw that there were no acquaintances, and said in a mysterious whisper: "Have you heard?" ”

Seeing her like this, Fang Yi and Xie Youhe were both stunned: "What did you hear?" ”

"Yesterday, the front desk of Goldstone Law Firm sent me a WeChat message telling me that Liu Fang and Lawyer Liu had been arrested!" Mei Xiaoting said in a low voice.

After finishing speaking, she took out her mobile phone, opened WeChat and handed it to Fang Yi. Fang Yi gave it to Xie Youhe after reading it.

"I said PHS (Mei Xiaoting's nickname), is this news reliable? You can't spread rumors about Lawyer Liu. Xie Youhe said cautiously.

"Absolutely reliable, I asked several lawyers who stayed at Jinshi Law Firm, including a lawyer who was working with Liu Fang on a case, and the client knew that after lawyer Liu was arrested, he had already refunded his fees. The lawyer confirmed this news to me personally. Mei Xiaoting said with a presence.

"What did Lawyer Liu arrest for?" Fang Yi asked.

At this time, three rice bowls were served, and after the waiter left, Mei Xiaoting said in a low voice: "I heard that a routine loan case from other provinces involved her, and Lawyer Liu was the legal counsel of the routine loan company, and the arrested routine loan boss bit her out, saying that all the routine loan legal documents were provided by Lawyer Liu, and the method of routine loan was also formulated by Lawyer Liu." Anyway, all the basins are buckled on her head. ”

"Ahh If this matter is done, Lawyer Liu will be hanging! Not only will the lawyer's license be revoked, but people will also have to go in. Fang Yi was so shocked that his jaw almost fell on the table.

"Who's to say it isn't! Lawyer Liu drills around all day and night, and he has everything, but he doesn't have a good eye, and this time he can be miserable by the client! Mei Xiaoting said with a pair of big eyes.

"I don't think it's all Lawyer Liu's idea, but she definitely participated. She wants other people's money, and people want her name. It's okay if nothing happens, but if something happens, people will definitely throw the pot at her.

From the perspective of the public prosecutors, they are also more willing to believe that this is the lawyer's idea. Because they think that lawyers are very professional in helping people fight lawsuits, and it is more professional to pit people, which is also the reason why knowledgeable bad people are more terrible. Xie Youhe pondered for a moment.

"Well, I think Lawyer Xie is right. The P2P company that Liu Fang talked about before wanted to put the name of Goldstone Law Firm on their website and brochure, and I guess that company had the idea.

One is to use law firms to endorse their companies and deceive the trust of the people; The second is that all the accidents are blamed on lawyers and law firms, and one more person is better than one less person who bears the blame anyway. Insidious, too insidious! Mei Xiaoting said.

Chapter 325 is under review, and it has just been reviewed, so it was released more than an hour late, please understand!
