On this day, as soon as Fang Yi returned from the detention center, the legal assistant of the litigation department sent him a message, and a client from the law firm came to the law firm and asked Fang Yi to handle her husband's case, which was said to be an intentional homicide case.

The lawyer's fee for the negotiation with the client is 100,000 yuan, but the other party will not sign the contract until after talking with Fang Yi. The lawyer had to contact the paralegal and ask Fang Yi to come to the conference room to meet the client.

In the conference room sat a woman in her forties, dressed in ordinary clothes, with red cheeks, rough skin, and a strong body, and she knew at first glance that she often worked in the fields. Her name is Wu Caiying, and she is the person Fang Yi wants to meet.

"Ms. Wu, hello, I'm Fang Yi." Fang Yi sat down and looked at Wu Caiying: "My colleague said that you want to ask me to entrust a case?" ”

"Yes. Lawyer Fang, my husband killed someone and is now being held in the detention center, and the procuratorate accuses my husband of intentional injury......" Wu Caiying was anxious and spoke even faster.

"Ms. Wu, speak slowly, don't worry. How did you find it? Fang Yi has to control the rhythm of the conversation, otherwise he will not be able to understand and waste time if he is a hammer and a stick in the west by the other party.

Zhou Ying took a pen and paper and sat on the side to make a note.

"I'm sorry, Lawyer Fang. I'm in too much of a hurry. I came to you after reading a report about you on the Internet. I'll tell you from the beginning......" Wu Caiying picked up the paper cup in front of him, took a sip of tea, and after stabilizing his mind, he told the story of the incident.

Wu Caiying's husband's name is Shan Guangquan, and the two of them have contracted an orchard at the edge of the village, their old couple is responsible for orchard management, and their son is responsible for online sales. The year before last, the two bought a third-room building for their son in the county with full money for marriage.

On weekdays, Shan Guangquan and his family live in the orchard, one is convenient to take care of the orchard; The second is that they are used to living outside the village, feel clean, and are unwilling to go back to the village to live.

One night at nine o'clock in September last year, after Shan Guangquan and his wife fell asleep, they suddenly heard the dog barking in the orchard, and then the dog barked, as if he had been beaten.

Shan Guangquan was just about to get up and go out to check, when he heard someone call the names of their husband and wife outside the house. Shan Guangquan didn't agree, hurriedly put on his clothes, went to the outhouse to check, and saw a figure standing in front of the door, tearing open the screen on the window, and reaching in to open the window.

In a hurry, Shan Guangquan picked up the pole used for the top door and hit it when he went up, but because of nervousness, he smashed on the window and scared the other party away.

After Wu Caiying in the back room heard the movement, he ran out with scissors in his clothes, and when Shan Guangquan chased out of the house with the top door bar, the person had already run away.

Because the orchard is relatively remote, the mobile phone signal is interrupted from time to time, and it is impossible to call the police, for the sake of safety, Shan Guangquan went back to the house with a homemade dagger, locked the door with his wife Wu Caiying, went to the village director's house for help, and called the police. Then the village director called someone to prepare to go to the orchard site.

Wu Caiying and her husband Shan Guangquan returned to the orchard first, and when the couple came to the gate of their orchard, they found that there was a dark shadow shaking in the orchard.

Shan Guangquan took out his dagger, walked in front of him and entered the orchard, and saw that there was indeed a figure dangling in front of his house. This person was Yan Jianshun, who was called by the village director, because he was relatively close to the orchard, so he arrived at the orchard first, saw that the gate of the orchard was not locked, came in, and waited for Shan Guangquan to come back in front of the house.

Because it was dark and the lights were not turned on in the orchard, Shan Guangquan failed to recognize Yan Jianshun and mistakenly thought that he was the villain who had just come. Seeing him walking towards him, Shan Guangquan mistakenly thought that the other party was going to make a move, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he took a few steps and stabbed Yan Jianshun in the chest with the dagger in his hand.

Yan Jianshun fell to the ground after being stabbed, and at this time, the village director led people to arrive, and when he saw Yan Jianshun lying on the ground, he was shocked and told Shan Guangquan that Yan Jianshun was called by him to help. At this time, Shan Guangquan was also dumbfounded.

By the time everyone sent Yan Jianshun to the county hospital, he had already stopped breathing due to hemorrhagic shock.

"According to you, your husband Shan Guangquan stabbed the other party because he mistakenly thought that the victim Yan Jianshun was the one who wanted to break into your house before?" Fang Yi looked at the other party.

"Yes, it was cloudy that night, there was no moon, and both of us were very nervous, so my husband killed Yan Jianshun by mistake. During this time, I have already negotiated with the Yan family to give them the house in the county as compensation. Our family couldn't live this incident, and the people in the village persuaded me that this was fate, and my husband deserved this fate.

I asked several lawyers, and some said that they could defend themselves as a defense, while others said that they would cause intentional injuries because if they died, they would likely be sentenced to more than 10 years in prison, or even life imprisonment or the death penalty.

Lawyer Fang, do you say that my husband will be sentenced to life or death? Tears faintly appeared in Wu Caiying's eyes.

"At the moment I don't see the case file, so it's hard to judge. According to what you just said, your husband must have committed a crime, and since the procuratorate transferred the case to the Intermediate People's Court, the recommended sentence should be more than 10 years, and I feel that the chances of the court sentencing your husband to life or death are not too great.

Of course, the premise is that what you say is the truth and you are not hiding the truth. Fang Yi thought for a moment and said.

"Lawyer Fang, I didn't say anything half-false. Every sentence is the truth. I know that you are an expert in criminal matters, and my husband's case is in trouble for you. You have to help me, or our house will be finished. Wu Caiying's voice was crying, and it could be seen that she was really anxious.

Early the next morning, Fang Yi and Zhou Ying went to the detention center to see Shan Guangquan, Shan Guangquan was burly and loyal, probably because of the perennial management of the orchard, the skin on his neck and face was a little black and red, and his skin was rough.

Shan Guangquan's description of the facts of the case is consistent with that of his daughter-in-law, Wu Caiying, who was afraid of Yan Jianshun, who stabbed Yan Jianshun to death with a dagger.

Then Fang Yi and Zhou Ying went to the Intermediate Court to read the papers.

In the office, Zhou Ying frowned, looking at the key information of Shan Guangquan's case written on the whiteboard with a serious face. She scratched her head and looked at Fang Yi: "Lawyer Fang, can we defend from the perspective of excessive defense?" ”

"Tell me your reasoning." Fang Yi put down the teacup and looked at her.

"That's how I understand it, on the night of the crime, Shan Guang's family did come to an unknown person who tried to break into his house.

When Shan Guangquan and his wife went out to ask for help and returned to the orchard, they found that someone was dangling in front of their own door, the sky was dark at that time, and they couldn't see who the other party was.

Although the defendant Shan Guangquan had an intentional mentality, it was to protect his own legitimate interests. Does that make sense? Zhou Ying came to Fang Yi's approach, added some water to Fang Yi's cup, and asked.
