Chapter 425: Dark Circles
The gavel sounded again, and the presiding judge began to announce the verdict: "Now continue the trial, and ask the bailiff to bring the appellant Lee Myung-bak to court."
The collegial panel has deliberated and formed a verdict in this case. In response to the opinions of the prosecution and defense, combined with the focus of the dispute in this case, and based on the facts and evidence of this case, this court makes the following comments:
…… This court held that the appellant Lee Myung-bak's act of giving the case evidence materials copied by the court to the relatives of the parties for inspection during his tenure as a defender did not constitute the crime of intentionally divulging state secrets. Lee Myung-bak and his defender's argument that it did not constitute a crime was established and accepted.
The basic facts ascertained in the original judgment were clear and the trial procedures were lawful, but the law was erroneously applied, and the judgment should be reversed. In accordance with the provisions of Article 189 (2) and Article 162 (2) of the Criminal Procedure Law, the judgment is as follows: 1. Revoke the Criminal Judgment of the County People's Court Xing Chu Zi No. 78; 2. The appellant (defendant in the original trial) Lee Myung-bak is not guilty. ”
When he heard the presiding judge announce that Lee Myung-bak did not constitute the crime of intentionally leaking state secrets, a stone in Fang Yi's heart finally fell to the ground, and he looked at Lee Myung-bak standing below, only to see that the latter's tense face finally relaxed, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Lee Myung-bak felt as if he had been pardoned, and his body was relieved, and he tilted his head to control the tears in his eyes to prevent them from flowing.
After the verdict, there was a commotion in the auditorium, and everyone turned their heads to each other, and it could be seen that everyone in the auditorium was very satisfied with the verdict. After the presiding judge announced the adjournment, the audience spontaneously burst into applause.
Lee Myung-bak's daughter-in-law cried with joy, and Son didn't know what to say, so she had to vent the panic and worry that had accumulated in her heart during this time.
After Fang Yi packed up the documents on the table, he walked over and patted Li Mingbo's arm: "How is it, do you still want to be a lawyer?" ”
"Do! What else can I do if I don't work as a lawyer? Lee Myung-bak smiled bitterly.
"Do you still have a criminal case?" Fang Yi smiled.
Lee Myung-bak hesitated: "Let's rest for a while first!" ”
Half a year later, Lee Myung-bak returned to his old business to handle criminal cases, but he was more cautious than before, and he would call Fang Yi from time to time to exchange professional issues.
When everyone walked out of the courthouse, many local lawyers shook hands with Fang Yi and exchanged business cards, which showed that the local lawyers recognized Fang Yi's court performance.
Subsequently, Zhao Zhongzhong first took Lee Myung-bak, who had completed the formalities, to the local bath to wash away his troubles and bad luck. Fang Yi and the others, led by Son Masayoshi, went to the private room of a local restaurant, chatting while waiting for Lee Myung-bak and Zhao Zhongzhong to return from bathing.
Everyone drank this meal, from more than one o'clock to more than three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Mingbo was drunk, and now he seemed to be reborn from a cocoon, suddenly feeling that the sky was blue, the clouds were white, and the cold water was full of the taste of freedom.
At the wine table, Zhao Zhongzhong glanced at Fang Yi, who was frequently toasted by everyone, from time to time, and sighed with emotion in his heart: Fang Yi is really not a thing in the pool, he can be mixed well in the big places in the city, and his professional ability must not be bad, fortunately, he woke up early, and he didn't continue to compare with him at the beginning, otherwise he would be depressed if he didn't die of anger.
Seeing that everyone was having a good time, Son Zhengyi made the decision to stay for one more day, and the law firm reimbursed the expenses, and returned early the next morning.
A few days later, in the morning, Fang Yi walked into the law firm with his briefcase, and saw that Huang Yuanchao was very busy, and asked with a smile: "Lao Huang, busy enough!" As the old saying goes: gold nine silver ten. It's almost October, and it seems that you've been making a lot of 'gold' this September! ”
"Where did you get this old saying! The ancients also said 'gold nine silver ten'? Huang Yuanchao put down the case file in his hand, raised his head, showed a tired face, and said with a smile while pinching his eyes.
"I don't know if 'Golden Nine Silver Ten' is an ancient saying, but October, also known as Golden Autumn October.
In the early days of agrarian societies, October was the harvest season, and people were willing to spend money because they had more money at this time.
Now the October holiday is also called the National Day Golden Week, merchants discount, people are willing to spend money, consumption, consumption will naturally be significantly higher than other months, this is the 'Golden Nine Silver Ten' phenomenon. As the words fell, Ma Yi walked over with square steps.
"Lawyer Ma, have you been idle lately?" Huang Yuanchao stretched and asked lazily as he leaned back in his chair.
"How do you know?" Ma Yi was surprised.
"The dark circles under your eyes are gone, and the maintenance is so good, there must be no heart-to-heart talks, emotional counseling and other activities at night, so I speculate that you are not very busy with business." Huang Yuanchao pretended to be deep.
"Okay, you guessed it, I just settled the last divorce case not long ago, and I'm too tired during this time, I have to leave some time for my little Tingting." Ma Yi said proudly.
"The dark circles under her eyes are gone, is Mei Xiaoting going to other provinces to do projects again?" Fang Yi asked with a smile.
"It's not...... Why do you all talk about my dark circles, the most important thing is that you still talk about thieves. You two weren't taught by the same master. Ma Yi pretended to be surprised.
"Less nonsense, isn't it that Jin Jiujiu is soft in making money, so he gave himself a holiday? Speak human words! ”
Huang Yuanchao knows the goods in front of him very well, if he doesn't have much income in September, he will definitely not be so nervous, seeing that he is full of red light and fine skin, he will definitely go to high-end clubs to do SPA.
Hearing Huang Yuanchao say this, Ma Yi stopped talking, just laughed.
"Lao Huang, what kind of case are you receiving, so many case files?" Fang Yi saw that Huang Yuanchao's desk was stacked with case files and asked.
"Don't mention it, there is a P2P company that can't withdraw money normally, there are many investors who want to sue the P2P company, you took it when you were on a business trip two days ago, the case is not complicated, but can you get the money back...... Hard! Huang Yuan said.
After listening to Huang Yuanchao, Fang Yi suddenly remembered his ex-wife Cao Xiaohui, her company seems to be a P2P company, it can't be that something happened to their company! But when I thought about it again, it shouldn't be so coincidental, so I didn't think much about it.
At this moment, Fang Yi's mobile phone rang, it was Ouyang Jie calling, he was going to come to the law firm in a while. Fang Yizheng wanted to contact him and ask him to introduce him to some big cases, but he didn't expect Ouyang Jie to come.
Fang Yi asked the paralegal upstairs for a tea room, and half an hour later, Ouyang Jie and Fang Yi sat in the tea room and drank tea.
"This tea is okay!" Fang Yi said and added some tea to Ouyang Jie.
"Yes, it deserves to be a big law firm, and the tea is so fragrant." Ouyang Jie said with a smile.
