Lawyer

Chapter 1020 Pain in the Heart (Book friend Master Geng, Geng Zhen is here!)
After a 10-minute adjournment, the presiding judge pronounced the sentence in court.

"This case has been deliberated by the collegial panel. In view of the opinions of the prosecution and the defense, combined with the focus of the dispute in this case, and based on the facts and evidence of this case, this court makes the following comments:

... The defendant, Lu Ye, knew that the victim was a young girl, but still had sexual relations with her, which constituted the crime of rape.The charges charged by the public prosecution agency were found guilty.

However, the public prosecution agency accused Lu Ye of knowing that the victim was a young girl when he had sexual relations with the victim for the first, second, and third times.Lu Ye voluntarily pleaded guilty in court and could be given a lighter punishment as appropriate.

According to the first and second paragraphs of Article 236 of the "Criminal Law", the judgment is as follows: The defendant Lu Ye committed the crime of rape and was sentenced to three years in prison. "

The sentence imposed by the court was the minimum sentence that Du Yong estimated in accordance with the provisions of Article 236 of the "Criminal Law". The defendant, Lu Ye, had no legal reason to reduce his punishment. Three years' imprisonment is the best result.

After the verdict, Lu Ye on the defendant's bench wiped away his tears with both hands, and was dragged out of the courtroom by the bailiff, sobbing.Although the verdict of this case was in line with Du Yong's expectations, just like the previous case of Song Rongming's provoking troubles, Du Yong had no sense of pride in his heart, only endless sadness and regret.

"Lawyer Du, how is my son's case?" Just as Du Yong walked out of the court gate, Lu Shouqing and his wife, who had been waiting outside the court gate for a long time, walked over quickly. She tripped over a floor tile, and Lu Shouqing, who had poor eyesight, quickly helped her up.

"The court has sentenced it to three years! The verdict will come out in a few days." Du Yong's face was serious.

Lu Shouqing and Han Yuhong were stunned. Although they were prepared and Du Yong had told them before that they might be sentenced, the couple still felt a little dizzy.

"Mr. Lu, Ms. Han, you go back first, the court sentenced Lu Ye to three years in prison, which was offset by the months of detention before, and the actual time spent in prison was less than three years.

If Lu Ye behaves well, it is said that his sentence will be commuted earlier. "After Du Yong's voice fell, Lu Shouqing was startled.

"Well, thank you, thank you, Lawyer Du." Lu Shouqing's eyes lit up.

Du Yong didn't understand why he was like this.But then he thought about it again, and suddenly realized that the words "reduced sentence" must have had an effect on him.

After the verdict was pronounced in the first instance, Lu Ye did not appeal, but the procuratorate lodged a protest, arguing that the evidence accusing the defendant Lu Ye of raping the young girl four times was true and sufficient, but the original verdict only found the rape once, which was a mistake in fact finding, and requested the second instance to revise the verdict .

The Lu family once again entrusted Du Yong to defend the second instance of Lu Ye's rape case.

The Municipal Intermediate People's Court held that, in the second trial, neither the prosecution nor the defense presented any new evidence, and the procuratorial organ protested that the defendant Lu Ye in the original trial had four sexual relations with the victim, knowing that the victim was under the age of 14. The evidence was insufficient. Therefore it is not accepted.

The original judgment was based on the facts and circumstances of the case, the application of the law was correct, and the conviction and sentencing were not inappropriate.The prosecution's grounds for protest cannot be established.Accordingly, the Municipal Intermediate People's Court ruled to dismiss the protest and uphold the original judgment.

Of course, this is all a few months away.

……

This morning, after Meng Guangda finished his work and was chatting with Yu Wendong about the case, a young male lawyer with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked over.

"Lawyer Meng, is it convenient for you?" The male lawyer with thick eyebrows and big eyes smiled and looked at Meng Guangda.

"It's convenient, what do you want?" Meng Guangda smiled.

The thick-browed and big-eyed male lawyer in front of him is one of the six criminal lawyers transferred with Li Mingbo. His name is Geng Zhen. He has been practicing for two years. It is said that he used to study computers and changed his career as a lawyer after graduation. Who does he usually meet? They all say hello, and they are very popular in the team.It's just that Meng Guangda had little communication with him before, and the two sides were not that familiar.

"That's right. Lawyer Xie assigned me a case of intentional homicide the day before yesterday. I'm not sure about some issues, so I want to ask you for advice." Geng Zhen said.

Several senior lawyers transferred together today either went out to hold a court session or went to meet with them, but they were not in the firm. When he encountered a problem, he didn't know who to turn to. He looked around and happened to see Meng Guangda, so he came over with the case file.

"It's not about asking for advice, let's discuss together. Boss Fang is in court, let's go to his office to chat." Meng Guangda said, got up and walked to Fang Yi's office with Geng Zhen.

Yu Wendong was curious and didn't know what case Geng Zhen was going to discuss, so he followed him to the office.

The three sat at the tea table, and Yu Wendong skillfully made tea for them.Because of Fang Yi, most of the lawyers in his team like to drink tea. After all, some people provide tea for free, and drinking tea can relieve visual fatigue and is good for the body, so why not drink it.

"Lawyer Meng, here is the case file. There are two defendants in this case, and lawyer Li Mingbo and I are each in charge of one defendant.

I went to see the defendant in the detention center yesterday, but lawyer Li and I have some disagreements on the case, so I would like to ask you for advice.Let me introduce the case to you and lawyer Yuwen first..." After speaking, Geng Zhen introduced the case.

Meng Guangda looked through the case files and listened to him talk about the case.Yu Wendong stood up habitually, picked up a pen, stood in front of the whiteboard, and silently recorded the key information of the case.

The defendants in the intentional homicide case undertaken by Geng Zhen and Li Mingbo are a young couple.The man's name is Chi Yunfa, and the woman's name is Qi Renxia. Both of them are locals, and they live in a village in a remote mountainous area.

In the second year after they got married, the young couple came to the county to set up a breakfast stand. They worked from dawn to dusk every day. Apart from paying rent and various taxes and fees, they could not make much money.

At the end of September last year, the defendant Qi Renxia gave birth to a baby girl in the county hospital. People in the village are more patriarchal than girls. When Chi Yunfa saw his daughter, his face was full of dissatisfaction.

After examining the child, the doctor told the couple the unacceptable news that their daughter had been diagnosed as a syphilis carrier and would be disabled after being cured.

After the two heard the doctor's words, it was like pouring a pot of cold water on a cold day. The husband and wife saw shock, helplessness and pain in each other's eyes.

On the night when she heard the news, Qi Renxia cried all night, Chi Yunfa ran outside the ward, squatted by the flower bed and smoked all night.

Early the next morning, when Chi Yunfa, whose eyes were red and smelled of smoke oil, told his daughter-in-law Qi Renxia in a low voice that the child could not be kept, Qi Renxia didn't make any noise or cry anymore, but just looked at her two-day-old daughter reluctantly, with a deep feeling in her heart. The pain cannot be expressed in words.
