"Oh, I understand, it seems that the lawyer profession not only needs technology, but also contacts, and more importantly, people's character, it depends on whether the ancestor will reward him or not." Li Shuming's face was clear.

"Well, when I was studying for a doctorate before, there was a classmate who repeatedly went to school to become a teacher, he was the kind of person who was more boring, not very good at dealing with people, and couldn't be a lawyer." Fang Yi interjected.

"Well, you guys soak, I won't bother." Li Shuming got up and left the bathroom.

"Lao Huang, if you didn't come out back then, would you be able to mix up now? Your colleagues should all be promoted! Ma Yi chattered.

"Well, quite a few people have been promoted, and the highest is at the hall level." Huang Yuan said.

"Okay, old Huang. I've never heard you say it! Make an appointment one day, let's get to know each other. Ma Yi pushed Huang Yuan Chaodao.

"It's not going to be easy." Huang Yuanchao smashed his mouth and pretended to say.

"What's so difficult, you can choose any restaurant in the city. I'll book it, and I won't believe it yet......" Ma Yi said with a look of disbelief.

"They tried to figure it out, but the Bureau of Prisons didn't agree!" Huang Yuanchao glanced at Ma Yidao.

"...... the Prison Administration," Ma Yi was stunned.

"If I hadn't come out to be a lawyer, I guess I'd have to squat in there now. The country's anti-corruption, once you grasp a line, you can't run a single one! After Huang Yuanchao finished speaking, he submerged his head in the water.

"Wocao, a high-risk industry!" Ma Yi looked at Fang Yi in disbelief.

At ten o'clock, Huang Yuanchao put on his clothes and went home, and when he went to the front desk to settle the bill, he was told that Mr. Li had paid the bill. Li Shuming felt that Huang Yuanchao and Ma Yi were very interesting, and they were very enthusiastic in answering questions, so he greeted the little girl at the front desk and gave Fang Yi's two friends free orders.

It didn't take long for Zhou Guang's case to be decided, and Fang Yi drove to the county court to get the verdict, and then sent the verdict to Zhouzhuang Village and handed it over to Zhou Junshan.

"Lawyer Fang, the court sentenced my father to six years in prison. Is my dad going to jail now? Can I go see him now? Zhou Junshan asked.

"At present, the verdict has not yet taken effect, and according to the law, your father's criminal verdict needs to be submitted to the Supreme Court for approval. Your father will not be sent to prison until he is approved.

But I think six years in prison is still a bit long, are you considering appealing? Fang Yi said.

"How much more will it cost to appeal?" Zhou Junshan was silent for a moment and asked.

"The lawyer's fee for the second instance is 10,000 yuan." Fang Yi said.

When Zhou Junshan heard that he wanted 10,000 yuan, he had no idea in his heart and looked at Director Zhou on the side.

10,000 yuan is not a decimal number, although Zhou Junshan's family does not worry about eating and drinking, but it is probably a little difficult to pay for real money. His mother is still in the hospital and has just paid her second hospitalization fee.

"Lawyer Fang, let's discuss it, and then we'll send you a letter. Let's eat first. Director Zhou said.

Fang Yi understood the Fang family's hardships, and he could only do this first.

On the last day of the appeal period, Fang Yi called the judge, who told Fang Yi that the procuratorate had not protested, and the defendant had not appealed, and that the court was ready to report to the Supreme People's Court step by step.

To be honest, Fang Yi really felt that the county court's sentence against Zhou Guang was a bit too heavy, but the party didn't want to appeal, and he couldn't help it.

The weather in May is already hot, Cao Xiaohui is getting busier and busier, and she has no time to care about her son Fang Anzhi, Fang Yi likes to take Xiaozhi back to the village when he is fine, the air in the village is good, the temperature is lower, and it is comfortable to live.

On this day, Fang Yi came to the tenth trial court of the district court, and today is the day of the trial of Yang Xu's rape case. Yang Xu's father, Yang Baoshan, did not come to the hearing, not because he didn't care about his son, but because this was a rape case, which involved personal privacy, and the court did not hear it in public. Sitting across from Fang Yi were two young female prosecutors.

“…… We believe that the defendant Yang Xu took the victim Xu Min to the hotel, intending to have sex with the victim against his will, but the victim covered his lower body and resisted, causing the defendant Yang Xu to fail to do so. Defendant Yang Xu's conduct has violated the provisions of Article 236 of the Criminal Law, constituting the crime of rape.

In view of the defendant's attempted rape, we recommend that the defendant be sentenced to three years' imprisonment in accordance with Article 23 of the Criminal Law. Complete! The female prosecutor said.

(Article 236 of the Criminal Law, "Whoever rapes a woman by violence, coercion or other means shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years.") ”

Article 23 of the Criminal Law states that "an attempt to commit a crime is an attempt to commit a crime if the crime has already been committed and the crime is not carried out due to reasons other than the will of the offender." For attempted offenders, the punishment may be mitigated or commuted by comparison with the completed offenses. ”）

Fang Yi had gone to the procuratorate to communicate with the prosecutor about the case, and although the prosecutor agreed with most of Fang Yi's opinions, the two sides disagreed on whether Yang Xu's behavior was attempted or suspended. The prosecutor insisted that Yang Xu's actions were attempted, so the indictment was based on the sentence recommended for the attempt.

"Defendant Yang Xu, did you hear the indictment read out by the prosecutor just now? Do you dispute the charges and facts charged against you in the indictment? The presiding judge said.

"Heard clearly, there are objections. I did not attempt rape, I voluntarily renounced it, and my actions should be a criminal suspension. Yang Xu argued.

When Fang Yi met before, he explained the difference between attempted rape and rape abortion, and also said the defense plan, Yang Xu is a smart person, he doesn't need Fang Yi to say anything special, he naturally knows what to do.

"The prosecutor may interrogate the defendant about the facts of the crime charged in the indictment." The presiding judge said.

"Defendant Yang Xu, did you bring the victim Xu Min to the hotel?" The female prosecutor asked.

"Yes." Yang Xu said.

"What was the state of the two of you?" The female prosecutor then asked.

"We had a lot of drinks at the bar, but we were fairly conscious." Yang Xu said.

"What did you do when you entered the hotel room?" The female prosecutor asked.

"I wanted to make out with her, but she refused, and then I forcibly pushed her down and pounced on her...... (100 words omitted here)" Yang Xu recounted the situation at that time, which was no different from what he told the other party before.

"Remember, did she protect the lower part of her body first, and you couldn't be strong, so you gave up?" The female prosecutor asked.

"Against! The presiding judge, the prosecutor's questions are inducing, and the defendant has the right to refuse to answer. Fang Yi didn't wait for Yang Xu to speak, and said immediately.

"The prosecutor pays attention to the way you ask questions. The defendant has the right to refuse to answer this question. The presiding judge frowned.

"Okay, I'm done with my question." The female prosecutor looked unconvinced and glanced at Fang Yi.

"Does the defendant's advocate need to ask questions of the defendant?" The presiding judge said.

"Questions." Fang Yi said.
