As soon as Feng Lin got home, his phone rang. It was Li Xiangrui's assistant who called, and he and Feng Lin had never cut off contact, Feng Lin didn't trust him, but felt that they could consult on both sides, corroborate each other's words, and listen to who said more reasonably.

"Hello, Assistant Liu." Feng Lin connected his mobile phone and said.

"Mr. Feng, has your son's case been decided?" Assistant Liu said.

"Yes, the court sentenced my son to five years in prison." Feng Lin said truthfully.

"Five years? What a year it has been! You have to appeal, if our lawyer Li represented your son's case, it would be impossible to sentence him to so many years......" Assistant Liu was stunned.

"So, you mean that there is room for my son's case to be reversed?" Feng Lin asked curiously.

"Great! If our lawyer Li Xiangrui represents your son's case, the Jedi will change the sentence and save your son a few years in prison. Assistant Liu said passionately.

"Alright, I'll go to you tomorrow morning, and we'll talk." Feng Lin was moved by what he said.

At this time, Fang Yi and Zhou Ying had already returned to the law firm, and they didn't know anything about Feng Lin going to Li Xiangrui.

"Lawyer Fang, is the Intermediate People's Court a lenient sentence?" Zhou Ying walked into Fang Yi's office and asked.

On the way back, Zhou Ying thought for a long time, according to the provisions of the Criminal Law, the defendant Feng Danian should be sentenced to more than ten years, why was he sentenced to five years in prison? The verdict of the Intermediate People's Court made her so puzzled that she even began to suspect that something was wrong with what she had learned.

At the beginning, Fang Yi suggested that Feng Lin find the victim to see if the victim could issue a letter of understanding, but the victim avoided it and ignored Feng Lin at all. To be honest, the Intermediate People's Court's judgment made Fang Yi a little confused, and he couldn't figure out the judge's thinking.

"I think maybe the judge made a mistake!" Fang Yi sat on the chair and thought for a while.

"Mistaken?" Zhou Ying looked at Fang Yi in surprise.

"yes, I can't think of any other reason than that.

Feng Danian robbed 150,000 yuan, a particularly huge amount, and according to Article 263 (4) of the Criminal Law, he should be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years, life imprisonment or death, and a fine or confiscation of property.

The Intermediate People's Court had no problem with Feng Danian's lenient punishment on the grounds that he had a good attitude in admitting guilt after his arrest, showed remorse, and that all the stolen money was recovered and returned to the owner, and no economic losses were caused. However, the punishment was reduced in the specific sentencing, which obviously blurred the boundary between 'mitigating punishment' and 'mitigating punishment'.

In the case that there were no statutory mitigating circumstances in this case, the Intermediate People's Court's sentencing below the statutory penalty violated the provisions of Article 63 of the Criminal Law and was an improper sentence.

This is very beneficial to Feng Danian, it doesn't matter to us, if the procuratorate does not protest Feng Danian is copied, but I estimate that the procuratorate will raise a protest nine times out of ten. Fang Yi said.

"Oh, I'm relieved when you say that, I thought my knowledge was outdated." Zhou Ying smiled: "If the procuratorate raises a protest, how can we collect lawyer's fees?" I'm going to prepare for the commission first. ”

"Just charge half of the lawyer's fees in the first instance." Fang Yi said.

As Fang Yi expected, not long after the criminal verdict of Feng Danian's robbery case was issued, the procuratorate filed a protest with the Provincial High Court on the grounds that the defendant Feng Danian had robbed a huge amount of money and the original sentence was unusually light.

Feng Lin did not come to Fang Yi, but under the persuasion of Assistant Liu, he entrusted the second instance of his son Feng Danian's robbery case to Li Xiangrui.

Soon the second-instance trial began, and the presiding judge announced the verdict in court.

The provincial high school believes that the facts ascertained by the Intermediate People's Court are clear, the evidence is credible and sufficient, and the conviction is accurate. The trial proceedings were lawful. However, the sentencing was improper and should be corrected. In the end, the sentencing part of the Intermediate People's Court's judgment was revoked, and the defendant Feng Danian was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment, deprived of political rights for three years, and fined 10,000 yuan.

After the verdict was announced, Feng Lin in the audience was dumbfounded, and the defendant Feng Danian also sat down in a chair.

After that, Feng Lin went to find Li Xiangrui, but Li Xiangrui put on a posture that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and flatly denied that he had said that he could reduce his sentence, and put the blame on Assistant Liu, who hid.

His son Feng Danian was sentenced from five years to twelve years, Feng Lin couldn't swallow this breath, and went to the Justice Bureau to complain, but he couldn't produce evidence, and finally tossed for more than a month, and then he didn't get an egg.

After Zhou Ying learned about this, she thought straight to Amitabha Buddha in her heart, thanks to what Fang Yi had told Old Man Feng before, if she fooled the parties in order to sign the bill, she might be complained about in the end.

In the afternoon, Fang Yi received a call from Lee Myung-bak, who came to the city for a court session and did not go back in the evening, and wanted to invite Fang Yi to dinner, and by the way, introduce a friend to Fang Yi.

In the evening, after Fang Yi took Xiao Zhi home, Xiao Zhi went to the bedroom to review after dinner, Fang Yi cleaned up and went out.

More than half an hour later, Fang Yi walked into the private room of a hotel, and there were two people sitting in the private room, one was Li Mingbo, and the other was a middle-aged man, wearing a high-end suit.

"Lawyer Fang, this is my old colleague Xia Jun, it turns out that he also works as a lawyer in the county, and now he is a partner in a medium-sized law firm in the city.

Lawyer Xia, this is the lawyer I mentioned to you earlier. Li Mingbo saw Fang Yi enter the door, got up and introduced.

"Hello, Lawyer Xia." Fang Yi said.

"Hello, lawyer Fang, I have long heard that there is a lawyer Fang Yi who is good at criminal cases in Wanhua United Law Firm, but I didn't expect you to be colleagues with Lao Li." After Xia Gang got up and shook hands with Fang Yi, he smiled.

"Sit down and talk, I'm having a treat today, don't grab me either." Lee Myung-bak was very excited: "Lawyer Fang, I came to the city for a trial today, and I happened to meet Lawyer Xia at the court, and Lawyer Xia admires you very much and wants to get to know you. It just so happened that I wanted to invite you to dinner, and we were all together. ”

"Lao Li said that you and he are colleagues, I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it!" Xia Gang said with a smile.

After the three of them finished ordering, they chatted for a while, and after the wine and food were served, three glasses of wine were served, and the atmosphere became lively.

"Lawyer Fang, how do you feel at Wanhua United Law Firm?" Xia Jun put down his wine glass and asked.

"It's good." Fang Yi didn't know what he meant by asking.

"Wanhua United Law Firm is a big law firm in our province, ranking among the top three, the competition must be fierce, right?" Xia Jundao.

"I feel okay, the law firm has developed very well in recent years, and now it is the No. 1 law firm in both the city and the province." Fang Yi smiled.

"Lawyer Fang, are you interested in making a move?" Xia Jun asked suddenly.

"Move? How to move? Fang Yi looked at him.

"Our law firm has also developed rapidly in recent years, and now there are more than 70 lawyers, don't look at the fact that our law firm does not have as many lawyers as yours, but the resources are still very good.

Now our law firm is recruiting talented people and has contact with the more famous lawyers in the city, do you know lawyer Li Xiangrui? Very famous, often seen on TV, he is a partner in our law firm. I don't know if you are interested in transferring to our law firm? Let's form a team together. After Xia Jun finished speaking, he looked at Fang Yi expectantly.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any plans to transfer for the time being." Fang Yi smiled.
