As the gavel in the male judge's hand fell, the trial ended. The judge did not announce the verdict in court.

A war of words made Fang Yi exhausted. During the trial, because of the high concentration of energy, he forgot his thirst, forgot his fatigue, when the gavel sounded, his spirit and body suddenly relaxed, at this time he seemed to be squeezed dry, weakly took out mineral water and drank several large sips in a row, to moisten the dry throat that could not swallow saliva.

"Lawyer Fang, look at this case......" When Fang Yi walked out of the courtroom tiredly with his briefcase, Liu Huashan and Liu Shanshan walked over, and Liu Huashan asked.

"The judge didn't pronounce the verdict in court, which may be a good thing, let's go back and wait for news. I'll call you when the verdict comes down. Fang Yi said weakly.

"Lawyer Fang, this is a little too much, let's have a meal together, you can go back!" Liu Huashan looked at Fang Yi and said.

"Yes, Lawyer Fang, let's have a meal." Fang Yi's performance in court Liu Shanshan saw it all, in all fairness, she was still very satisfied with Fang Yi's performance, of course, it was only satisfied with the court's performance, if the result was not satisfactory, she would still scold people behind her back.

"No, I need to rush back. In the afternoon, I made an appointment with the party in the office, and the time was a little tight, so let's do it next time. Fang Yi said politely.

The appointment with the party is fake, it is true that he has no appetite to eat, and he has been fighting all morning, he is too tired, tired and has no appetite.

After driving the car out of the way for a while, Fang Yi pulled over, took the mineral water, forcibly swallowed the leftover bread he had eaten in the morning, and then lay down on the seat of the car for a while, just remembering to continue walking, suddenly the mobile phone rang.

"Lawyer Fang, it's me Ouyang Jie. Are you in a law firm? Ouyang Jie's voice came from the phone.

"No, I came to the next city in the morning for a court session and am rushing back. What's wrong? Fang Yi sat up straight and asked.

"There's something I want to ...... you, let's talk about it in the evening, I'll treat you to dinner in the evening, old place. Can you make it back at 7 p.m.? Ouyang Jie asked.

"No problem." Fang Yi said.

"Okay, that's it. See you or leave you! Ouyang Jie hung up the phone after speaking.

After Fang Yi put away his mobile phone, he suddenly smiled and said secretly: Is my mouth open or what? just told Liu Huashan that he had made an appointment in the afternoon, but Ouyang Jie called him halfway through,...... It seems that you will have to be careful when you speak in the future.

In the city, the temperature at night is lower than during the day, but it is still a little stuffy, the air conditioning is on in the private room of the private restaurant, the cold wind is blowing, Fang Yi immediately felt a cool air as soon as he entered the door, and he had goosebumps.

To Fang Yi's surprise, there were two people sitting in the box, two acquaintances, one was Ouyang Jie and the other was Bai Hai, he didn't expect Bai Hai to be there.

Seeing Fang Yi enter the door, Ouyang Jie got up and said with a smile: "Lawyer Fang, you and Brother Bai both know each other, I won't say more, let's get together today." ”

Bai Hai got up and greeted Fang Yi with a smile, but the smile was a little embarrassing, and Fang Yi guessed that it might be because of Cheng Wu's case.

"Mr. Bai, hello. Let the two of you wait for a long time, today I went to the next city for a long time, and when Ouyang called, I just walked back. Fang Yi explained after entering the door.

"It's okay, we don't have anything urgent anyway, let's get together." Bai Hai said and glanced at Ouyang Jie.

"Lawyer Fang, let's order food first, I will secretly take out the Moutai that my father has treasured for more than ten years, and give you two a taste." As he spoke, Ouyang Jie took out two bottles of Moutai from a bag and placed them on the table.

After a while, the wine and food were put on the table, and the three of them chatted absentmindedly for a while, Fang Yi waited for the other party to get to the point, Ouyang Jie looked at Bai Hai vigorously, and after Bai Hai drank another glass, he said seriously: "Lawyer Fang, I'm really embarrassed about what happened last time."

This time, I asked Ouyang to invite you out to dinner, for two purposes, one is to apologize for what happened before, Li Hua actually didn't want to do this, she was also fooled. I want Cheng Wu to come out as soon as possible and avoid the pain of prison. ”

"It's okay, I can understand the feelings of the family members of the parties. I was the first to withdraw from this case, and I can't blame her. I also told Ouyang before this that if the opinions of the two defense lawyers do not agree, it will be very detrimental to the client. Fang Yi said.

"Thank you for your understanding! The second purpose of asking you out today is to consult with you about Cheng Wu's case again. Bai Hai said and took out a criminal verdict.

"Cheng Wu's case was decided so quickly?" Fang Yi took the verdict and glanced at it, and said in surprise.

"Well, the court held that Cheng Wu illegally deprived others of their personal liberty in order to collect debts. In the end, he was found guilty of illegal detention and sentenced to three years' imprisonment.

Can you see if there is any hope for the second instance of this case to be overturned? After Bai Hai finished speaking, he looked at Fang Yi.

"In this case, I still have the same opinion as before, Cheng Wu does not constitute the crime of illegal detention, but the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and I think the facts determined by the court of first instance are unclear and the law is wrongly applied." After reading the verdict, Fang Yi said.

He had also read the case file when he met with Cheng Wu before, so he dared to draw such a conclusion.

"If Cheng Wu is sentenced to a few years according to the crime you said?" For Bai Hai, it doesn't matter what the charges are, and how long it will take to come out.

"I can't say this, the first trial is three years in prison, if the procuratorate does not protest, but Cheng Wu appeals, according to the principle of appeal without increasing the sentence, the worst result is to uphold the original verdict." Fang Yi thought for a while.

All the lawyer can do is to explain the facts of the case and the laws and regulations that should be applied in favor of the client to the collegial panel, and then give a recommended sentence. How the collegial panel will determine and how to sentence can only depend on the judge.

"What did Lawyer Gao say before?" Fang Yi asked suddenly.

"After the first trial, lawyer Gao said that Cheng Wu should be acquitted in this case, and insisted on defending his innocence in the second trial." Shirakaido.

But from the bottom of his heart, Bai Hai didn't trust that lawyer Gao, and Cheng Wu's daughter-in-law Li Hua trusted that lawyer Gao because the other party said that Cheng Wu was not involved in the crime and should be acquitted.

However, after the judgment of the court of first instance, lawyer Gao was very embarrassed, he said that he could continue to represent the second instance of the case, and he believed that the law was fair and would definitely give Cheng Wu justice.

Li Hua doesn't know if the law is fair, but whether she will return Cheng Wu to justice as Lawyer Gao said, she has no confidence, because she has lost confidence in Lawyer Gao and has the heart to change generals.

In fact, this is also normal, it is not easy to gain trust, but it is easy to lose trust!

"Well, if the family of the person concerned wants to try, it can also be done!" What else can Fang Yi say, it is difficult to buy people who are happy if they have money.
