Chapter 644: Suddenly I Feel Like I've Been Tricked!
Why Li Tianjun was sentenced to kidnapping, Fang Yi really couldn't figure it out, but these are only important to Fang Yi and the prosecutor, for the defendant, this is not important, the important thing is to have a reprieve.
After the verdict was announced, Li Tianshui thanked Fang Yi for his kindness, and fulfilled his promise the next day, and Yu Sanqiang gave the remaining 100,000 yuan to Fang Yi in cash.
Everyone thought that this case was over, but who knew that a new situation had emerged.
On the third day after the verdict was announced, the court issued the verdict, and Fang Yi went to the detention center to see Li Tianjun, probably knowing that he could not die, and the latter's mental outlook was obviously much better than before.
"Lawyer Fang, thank you!" Li Tianjun's eyes were full of gratitude.
"It's okay, it's all supposed to be done. You don't have too much psychological pressure, work hard to reform, as long as you don't make a big mistake, you will definitely be commuted to a fixed-term prison sentence after two years. Fang Yi smiled.
"Lawyer Fang...... do you say that if I appeal this case, do you hope that the sentence will be lowered further?" Li Tianjun hesitated and asked.
What's that? Appeal?! Fang Yi looked at him in disbelief, like a fool.
"I mean...... What if it happens! Li Tianjun was a little embarrassed.
Before, he communicated with the prosecution about admitting guilt and accepting punishment, and everything went well, but now that the verdict has come down, he suddenly turned his face and denied it, he also felt that this was easy to say but not good.
"For the sake of your brother and Yu Sanqiang's face, I advise you, you'd better not appeal. I have read the previous case file, and if the court really sentences you to death, you are not wronged at all, and you should weigh this matter carefully. Fang Yi sneered, he seriously suspected that Li Tianjun had eaten too much in the past two days and had not digested it, and his brain was blocked.
"Didn't I turn myself in? I've heard people say that if you turn yourself in, you can't be sentenced to death. "Li Tianjun is a bit of a bull.
"Turn yourself in! You really think that the surrender plot will save you. Some of the cases I have handled have been executed after turning themselves in. Besides, whether your surrender can be recognized in the second instance is still a matter of two words, you better not think so. Fang Yi hugged his arms and said coldly.
"Got it!" Boss Li Tianjun muttered unhappily.
Out of the detention center, Fang Yi felt that this matter might be bad, sitting in the car, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Li Tianshui, and told him about the meeting just now.
"What? Appeal?! Lawyer Fang, I understand...... Well...... You have done this to the fullest extent of your righteousness, and if he really does it to death, no one can stop him.
I immediately called his daughter-in-law. Thank you! Li Tianshui hung up the phone with a black line.
"What's the matter? So anxious to get angry. Yu Sanqiang, who was drinking tea and bragging, asked.
"Don't mention it, my two hundred and five younger brother has a moth again, isn't this a suspended death sentence, he wants to appeal and want to reduce his sentence." Li Tianshui hated straight molars.
"What the hell, whether he was kicked in the head by a donkey, or squeezed by the door, isn't this nonsense! Lawyer Fang spent so much effort before, and finally pleaded guilty and accepted punishment to save his life...... What did he think! Yu Sanqiang said with a shocked face.
"Hey! I don't know what to think about this shaft. No, I'll have to go back and ask my brother and sister if anyone is stirring up the trouble. With that, Li Tianshui picked up his handbag and walked out.
"Tianshui, I need help calling, we have all the money and people." Yu Sanqiang shouted at the door, and when he saw that Li Tianshui was gone, he muttered: "Hey! What is this called, good words are hard to persuade damn ghosts! ”
……
"Lawyer Li, here's your chance!" Xia Jun ran into Li Xiangrui's office with a happy face.
When Xia Jun entered the house, Li Xiangrui was pouring tea, and his hands trembled when he heard the words, and the tea was sprinkled on his pants, as if he had urinated. Li Xiangrui hurriedly took out a few tissues and wiped them.
"What's the situation with Lawyer Xia?" Li Xiangrui threw the tissue into the paper basket, looked up and asked with a confused expression.
"The case in the north, wasn't it snatched away by Fang Yi before, the sales over there in the morning said that the case was sentenced and the death was suspended, I let the sales follow up, and the sales met the defendant's daughter-in-law twice, and now the defendant's daughter-in-law has the intention to appeal." Xia Jun smiled with a smile.
"This case was fought by Fang Yi in the first instance, and the other party in the second instance will most likely have to find him, can we intervene?" Li Xiangrui asked with a deep groan.
"The second instance is not the first instance, who has the ability to talk about it, it's a big deal, let's reduce the lawyer's fee, in addition to the sales point, we should have a profit.
Besides, with Fang Yi's professional ability, the death penalty in the first trial of this case is suspended, and the chance of changing the sentence in the second instance is not very high, even if the sentence cannot be commuted, the sentence will not be increased on appeal, let's go through the motions and earn tens of thousands, isn't it good? Xia Jun rolled his eyes and said.
"Okay, just do as you say, but you'd better go over and talk about this in person, don't let those sales talks, those guys will admit the money, I'm afraid they will blow too much, we won't be able to catch it, and it will damage our image." Li Xiangrui thought about it and said.
"Okay, I'll go to the North City." Xia Jun nodded.
Out of the office, Xia Jun glanced back at Lawyer Li, who was pretending to drink tea, and sneered in his heart: Image? You still have a face to mention your image, and you have been complained about seven or eight times a year, if it weren't for the TV station giving you the opportunity to be on camera, you would have been able to have today, maybe you are squatting at the door of the court, if it weren't for the fact that you still have some influence, I would have changed the team a long time ago.
A few days later, Li Tianshui hurriedly came to Wanhua United Law Firm to meet Fang Yi.
In the conference room, Li Tianshui looked at Fang Yi with a worried face: "Lawyer Fang, this is the appeal written by the lawyer of the second instance. You can show me, my brother and sister said that after the lawyer meeting, they will submit it. ”
"Mr. Li, I didn't answer the second trial, it was a lawyer from another law firm, they were all peers, I was not good at expressing my opinion, but Mr. Yu called me last night and asked me to help...... Let's put it this way, it doesn't matter how this appeal is written, it mainly depends on the attitude of the procuratorate.
If the prosecution knows that the defendant has appealed and does not admit guilt and accept punishment, it is estimated that nine times out of ten they will raise a protest, and there is no talk this time, and the defendant's previous remorse is gone. So......" Fang Yi put down the appeal petition in his hand and was talking, when suddenly the phone rang, it was the phone number of the procuratorate.
Fang Yi motioned to Li Tianshui not to make a sound, pressed the speakerphone, and only heard a man's voice on the phone: "Is it Lawyer Fang?" ”
"It's me, you're Inspector Li?" Fang Yi asked knowingly.
"Yes, it's me. Li Tianjun appealed, you know? Inspector Li's voice was tinged with displeasure.
"Ahh When was this? Fang Yi glanced at the appeal petition in his hand with a confused expression, and then looked at Li Tianshui opposite, who was also confused.
"We were notified today. Previously, we considered that Li Tianjun pleaded guilty and accepted punishment and had repentance, and suggested that the court give a lighter punishment, but why did he not admit guilt and appealed now? Haven't you heard him say that? There was a hint of doubt in Inspector Li's tone.
"I went to see him after the verdict was announced, and he mentioned the matter of appealing, and I was quite surprised at the time, and I persuaded him, and he promised not to appeal at that time, so why did he change his mind as soon as he turned his head. Look at what this is all about. Fang Yi said with an embarrassed face.
"You really didn't represent you in the second trial?" Inspector Li asked.
"Really, the conscience of heaven and earth, I haven't even seen the entrustment procedures, and besides, the defendant has pleaded guilty and accepted punishment, how can I encourage him to appeal again!" Fang Yi said with a bitter face.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Yi and Li Tianshui looked at each other, and suddenly felt like they had been tricked!
