Fang Yi turned his head and saw Zhou Ying covering his mouth and giggling.

"Oh my god, I was finally released, and I almost suffocated to death." After a while, Zhou Ying withdrew her smile, stuck out her tongue with a relaxed face, and said.

"Okay, enough laughter, come, I'll see what the case is." Fang Yi reached out and took the case file.

"I really let my master say it right, it's a bloody case." Zhou Ying handed over the case file and said.

"What charges?" Fang Yi took the case file in his hand and looked up at Zhou Ying.

"Robbery, where the defendant was seriously injured, is a case of legal aid, assigned by the court." Zhou Ying replied.

"Indefinite, or death penalty?" Fang Yi was stunned for a moment and asked.

Where a people's court notifies a legal aid institution to appoint a lawyer to provide a defense for the defendant, there are only three circumstances: 1. The defendant is blind, deaf, or mute; 2. Mentally ill persons who have not completely lost the ability to recognize or control their own behavior; 3. Persons who may be sentenced to life imprisonment or the death penalty.

Therefore, when Fang Yi heard that it was a legal aid case assigned by the court, his first reaction was "indefinite" or "death penalty" cases, because there were many such cases.

"Death penalty! The first instance was done by our lawyer Wang Deyou of the Legal Aid Group, and after the verdict was handed down, the procuratorate protested. Lawyer Wang had too many cases in his hands, and he really didn't have time, so he handed over the second instance of this case to me.

I went to the detention center yesterday to meet with the defendant, you can help me see if there is a chance in this case. You look, I'll introduce you to the case......" Zhou Ying said and explained the basic situation of the case.

Defendant Yang Rongwei is 28 years old, and his home is in a remote mountain village below a century-old poverty-stricken county, because the location of the village is relatively remote and the family has no money, so Yang Rongwei has been on a blind date many times without success.

But the woman's parents asked for 100,000 yuan in bride price, Yang Rongwei was stupid when he heard it, and the matchmaker hurriedly persuaded him when he saw it, the second marriage was not expensive to ask for 100,000 yuan, and if the eldest girl said less, she would have to ask for 188,800 yuan, not counting the house and car.

The matchmaker was a little moved when she saw him, and told him that no one in the city talks about this now, let alone a second marriage, seven marriages and eight marriages, and having children without getting married, but a piece of paper, the times are different, don't worry too much about these, and although the woman introduced this time is a second marriage, she has never given birth to a child, and she looks good, if it weren't for her husband's accident, he would definitely not be his turn.

Later, Yang Rongwei was moved, discussed with his family, gave the bride price money, and after a few tables of banquets, he got the certificate and lived together.

Seeing that the small life was over, and the family should have a famine to pay back, Yang Rongwei's father, Lao Yang, scratched his head, so he got up early and ran to the mountains in the dark, digging medicinal herbs, picking sour dates, in short, he did whatever he could make money.

As a result, once when digging medicinal herbs on the mountain, by accident, Lao Yangtou rolled down the mountain and was sent to the hospital by the villagers who went to dig medicinal herbs together.

Lao Yang Tou knew that his family had a thin foundation and could not afford to live in the hospital, so he asked his son Yang Rongwei to go through the discharge procedures with a plaster on his leg and went home on an electric tricycle.

The family already owes foreign debts, and his father fell and injured his leg and needed treatment, Yang Rongwei couldn't make a lot of money as a small worker on the construction site in the township for a month, and he was expecting to settle his salary at the end of the year to buy some medicine for his father and repay some foreign debts, but the contractor ran away with the money, and the contractor and the construction party didn't care.

He also wanted to be like other people, the family sat around the table and had a good time, but the family owed foreign debts, his father's leg asked for money for treatment, and the contractor ran away with the money again, and his pocket was cleaner than his face when the Chinese New Year was approaching. When the only hope was shattered, the desperate Yang Rongwei gradually had evil thoughts in his heart.

After New Year's Day, he endured a few more days in the shed, and the workers around him failed to collect debts, and they all left one after another, he thought about it, and suddenly remembered that he had done decoration in a high-end community in the city last year, and the residents of that community were either rich or expensive, and they were very rich. So he took an electrician's knife from the construction site and drove to the city.

After blending into the community, Yang Rongwei saw that a middle-aged woman was dressed very carefully, and felt that the other party must be rich, so he followed her to Room 402.

After Yang Rongwei entered the house, he immediately took out an electrician's knife and put it on Gong Jingyan's neck, threatened and beat her, and asked Gong Jingyan to hand over the money and goods.

Yang Rongwei robbed for the first time, and was more nervous than Gong Jingyan, afraid that Gong Jingyan would shout and invite others, so he grabbed the ornaments, porcelain bottles, ashtrays, water cups and other items at home and frantically greeted Gong Jingyan's head, Gong Jingyan resisted fiercely, Yang Rongwei picked up the stump of the half-broken water cup on the ground and continuously poked Gong Jingyan's face, causing multiple wounds on his head, face, and hands, and a large amount of blood loss.

After that, Yang Rongwei used the wire on the power strip in the house to strangle Gong Jingyan's neck. Gong Jingyan was strangled to death due to heavy bleeding and neck.

After Gong Jingyan fell into a coma and lost the ability to resist, Yang Rongwei rummaged through the house, and finally found only a wallet containing 82 yuan in cash, and then Yang Rongwei fled the scene.

After that, Gong Jingyan was found by a neighbor and called the police, and was sent to the hospital for rescue.

It was identified: Gong Jingyan suffered cerebral contusion, subarachnoid hemorrhage, multiple soft tissue lacerations on the head, face, and left upper limbs, and hemorrhagic shock, and the degree of injury was serious.

After Gong Jingyan was rescued, the police launched a search based on the surveillance of the community and the appearance of the suspect described by Gong Jingyan, and finally arrested Yang Rongwei in a small restaurant.

The procuratorate transferred Yang Rongwei's case to the Intermediate People's Court for robbery.

The Intermediate People's Court held that the defendant Yang Rongwei used violence and coercion to enter the house to rob money and property for the purpose of illegal possession, causing serious injuries, and that his conduct constituted the crime of robbery, and the circumstances were serious, and he should be severely punished.

After the defendant is brought into the case, he or she is educated, and he is still able to confess the crimes committed by the public security organs and at trial, and his attitude in admitting guilt is still good, and he may be given a lighter punishment as appropriate.

Because the defendant's conduct caused the victim Gong Jingyan's physical and mental injuries and major economic losses, the victim's claim for compensation should be supported.

The verdict is as follows: 1. Defendant Yang Rongwei committed robbery and was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve, deprived of political rights for life, and fined 4,000 yuan. 2. Compensation for the expenses of Gong Jingyan, the plaintiff in the attached civil lawsuit, is RMB 30,000.

"What are the reasons for the procuratorate's protest?" Fang Yi asked while flipping through the case file materials.
