Chapter 596: Evil People Must Be Tortured by Evil People
In the end, the Provincial High Court held that the defendant Li Tianjun’s murder of Zhou Bo was egregious and the consequences were serious, and he should be punished in accordance with the law. The prosecution’s reason for protesting that Li Tianjun was guilty of intentional homicide was established.
The second instance verdict: 1. The criminal judgment of the Intermediate Court was revoked; 2. The defendant Li Tianjun was guilty of intentional homicide and sentenced to death and deprived of political rights for life.
After the verdict was announced, Li Tianjun's daughter-in-law in the auditorium fainted on the spot.
"Lawyer Fang, do you think there is still a chance for my brother's case?" Li Tianshui asked with wet eyes.
"Lawyers can basically do nothing. After the verdict is pronounced, the High Court will report the death penalty case to the Supreme People's Court for approval in accordance with the law. Although during the approval period of the Supreme Court, lawyers can also submit defense opinions to the Supreme Court, but your brother's case... the effect Not big." Fang Yi thought for a while and said.
"This is all my fault. I should have stopped the two of them from messing around in the first place. Brother Qiang is right, this is life, you can't survive." Li Tianshui sighed.
"Come on, let's go to the law firm to find that white-haired old lawyer and ask for an explanation." Yu Sanqiang gritted his teeth and said, "It's so shady. They dare to cheat people's lives."
"Lawyer Fang, please excuse me. Let's leave first. I'll treat you to dinner after this matter is settled." After Li Tianshui finished speaking, he picked up his handbag and went out with Yu Sanqiang.
Within two days, news came that more than 50 migrant workers were stationed in a law firm in the city. Even if the police went there, there was nothing they could do. They arrived today and will come tomorrow.
According to insiders, something happened to lawyer Li Xiangrui, who often appeared on TV, and he was complained to the Justice Bureau. It was said that he was secretly videotaped for a fee.
Li Xiangrui has been a bit unlucky recently. The TV station's programs were stopped, the Justice Bureau came to talk to him, migrant workers moved into his office, and his son was hit by a dump truck while crossing the road and entered the ICU. It is said that the brakes failed.
In a cafe in the city, Xia Jun hurriedly came and sat down opposite Li Xiangrui: "Sorry, I'm late because of the traffic jam."
"Lawyer Xia, in the criminal case you talked about last time, the defendant's family came to see him. The partner meeting in the firm meant that we have to refund the fees, and the director has already urged us." Li Xiangrui looked at Xia opposite him with a slumped head. military.
"Lawyer Li, you shouldn't say this to me. It's true that I talked about the case, but you led the people to handle the case. You messed up the case and the defendant came to your door. You asked me to refund the money. This Is it appropriate? Who will pay for my loss?!" Xia Jun held a cigarette in his mouth and put on an expression like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
"You..., didn't we agree at the beginning that if we refund the money, everyone will refund the money in proportion? Why do you lift your pants and refuse to admit it!" Li Xiangrui raised his voice in anger, attracting the attention of everyone drinking coffee around him.
"Don't argue. We have a cooperative relationship. If you screw up and ask me to pay the bill, I will definitely not do it. Besides, there is no written agreement between us, right?
I have something else to do for a while, so I won’t rubbish with you. Xia Jun stood up, took two steps, turned back and said, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you. I have changed my firm. I applied last week. Now I am practicing in the new firm. We will cooperate again if we have the opportunity." "
After saying that, Xia Jun smiled and left the cafe.
Li Xiangrui suddenly felt panicked in his heart. He subconsciously covered his heart and fell to the ground with a plop.
"Hurry up and call the ambulance. Someone has fainted." In the coffee shop, a young clerk ran over in a hurry.
"Don't move. What if something happens to you?" Another older clerk grabbed the young clerk and whispered, "Call the emergency number first."
"Oh, no, we have surveillance here." The young clerk said.
"Surveillance is useless. There are more people on the street outside. You know which ones work well and which ones don't. Who will pay you for lost work time? It's better to have one less problem than one more thing. Call me quickly."
After saying that, the old employee turned to look at the customers in the store and said loudly: "Now a customer has fainted. That is a doctor. We need a doctor. Don't be afraid, everyone, we have surveillance and employees' cell phone videos, we can testify……"
A few days later, Yu Sanqiang came to work locally and invited Fang Yi to dinner at noon. The two chatted about Li Tianshui's family.
"...On that day, after we complained to the Justice Bureau and the Lawyers Association, we went directly to the law firm. At that time, a lawyer named Li blocked the room. He said that this was all in accordance with normal procedures. There was an entrustment agreement, and he asked us to go to the court. .
I can figure this out with my big toe. If the lawsuit could be resolved, the world would be at peace. We asked him to refund the money at that time. He said nothing to back down.
Li Tianshui was also a ruthless person back then. If this would have been the case more than ten years ago, now we are advocating a harmonious society and doing serious business, but who knows if we encounter unscrupulous people, we will be forced to go to the police station. Means, evil people will be punished by evil people..." Yu Sanqiang babbled while eating.
"What happened next? Did you refund the money?" Fang Yi asked curiously.
"Withdrawal, all withdrawals, we put pressure on their law firm, and the other party gave him an additional 100,000 yuan in compensation, which made it easier for him. If they hadn't instigated Li Tianshui's sister-in-law, Li Tianshui's brother would not have appealed." Yu Sanqiang said while chewing on the sheep and scorpion with his mouth full of oil.
"By the way, has the Supreme Court's review of the death penalty been completed?" Fang Yi asked.
"I'm here. I just came down two days ago and I'm waiting for the execution. This is all fate." Yu Sanqiang threw the sheep and scorpions in his hand on the table, feeling a little depressed.
On this day, as soon as Fang Yi walked into the office, the legal assistant of the litigation department chased him in and handed him a case file. It was another criminal case designated for him to handle, with a legal fee of 100,000 yuan.
Fang Yi called the client and asked him to come to the law firm in the afternoon to discuss the details of the case.
After putting down the phone, Fang Yi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Zhou Ying used to arrange these trivial matters and he didn't have to worry about them at all. Now Zhou Ying has a red book (lawyer certificate) and has been arranged by Wankefa to go to the legal aid team. Exercised.
Fang Yi was sitting on the sofa, wondering whether to hire a paralegal to share some trivial tasks, such as reimbursement, making phone calls to follow up on cases, etc.
Fang Yi, who was leaning on the sofa, smelled the red plum cigarette in his hand and cursed secretly: Fang Yi, Fang Yi! You are floating! If you want to enter your comfort zone just after making a few small bucks, you are too far behind.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, in the conference room upstairs of the law firm, sitting opposite Fang Yi was a woman with red and swollen eyes who looked to be in her forties. Her name is Jia Zongxia, and she is the mother of Tang Renguo, the defendant in the criminal case Fang Yi took over.
"Ms. Jia, you just said that your son wanted to kill your husband Tang Ming. Did you see it or did you hear it?" Fang Yi asked, staring into the other person's eyes.
"I didn't see it. I heard what my previous lawyer and my husband said. The lawyer communicated the case with the procuratorate and said that this was the decision made by the public security organ. The procuratorate thought it was okay, and later charged my son with intentional homicide. The case was transferred to the Intermediate Court." Jia Zongxia said sobbing.
