Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Chapter 352 Labeling is an Art! [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]

1100g of drugs with a purity of 30% entered society...

Or, to put it another way, the total transaction amount was 1300g of drugs!

The moment Prosecutor Ma finished speaking.

The entire task force office fell silent for a moment. The three of them looked at each other, their gazes meeting, creating an eerie atmosphere.

1300g of drugs...

In theory, just four or five hundred grams of heroin could be enough to warrant the death penalty!

Even though a purity of 30% is considered below average, it may result in a reduced sentence in practice, but here's the problem.

"I remember that in the Haicheng Guidelines of the Haicheng Judicial Bureau, one of the ten rules for not killing was: 'Those who are instructed or employed by others and are not the owners of the drugs are generally not killed.'"

Inside the office, Lin Yue suddenly spoke.

Her clear, almond-shaped eyes were fixed on Prosecutor Ma as she uttered a cryptic remark.

"However, this does not apply to quantities exceeding three times the amount stipulated in the second provision!"

In the category of "drug crimes," gang-related crimes can be divided into two types.

There are two types of accomplices: principal offenders and accomplices. The former bear the main responsibility, such as the actual trafficker or the drug lord himself, while the latter are the henchmen who transport the drugs.

The judiciary is relatively lenient towards accomplices.

Even if a henchman transports and sells only one kilogram of goods, as long as it's less than three times that amount, it complies with the "Haicheng Guide" rule of not killing.

In other words: the henchmen will not be sentenced to death!

And this dividing point is...

"Yes, there is such a provision. In Haicheng's local judicial system, the standard for execution by death is 400g, and more than three times that is 1200g."

Prosecutor Ma nodded; as a professional prosecutor in this field, he naturally knew this.

He paused slightly, stroked his chin, and continued, "It's Article 2 of the trial version of the 'Haicheng Court Sentencing Guidelines - Drug Crimes I'."

"An accomplice can also die if the amount reaches 1200 grams."

Zhao Rui weighs at least 1300 grams.

Nearly three pounds!

The fact that Zhao Rui's case has even resulted in a situation where "jin" (a unit of weight) is used as a unit of measurement... In the current situation, who else could he be but a major drug lord?!

"However, if the person who provided the raw materials, that is, the criminal, is an accomplice."

"In theory, we are only responsible for the act of delivering the raw material, which is 650ml."

Prosecutor Ma corrected Lin Yue's thinking.

"If the subsequent dilution and sale were unknowing, uninvolved, and without any profit sharing, then the accomplice should not be held responsible for the 1300g."

No liability will be assumed.

Including those innocent people who were subsequently deceived, they do not need to bear any responsibility. They only need to be responsible for the 650ml of raw materials. And 650ml of raw material wine is only four or five hundred grams. Although the purity is high.

However, this only applies to rigid, inflexible standards in practice.

Based on favorable factors, the other party will not meet the standard of immediate execution.

only..

"No, suspect Zhao Rui, as the source of the entire criminal chain, is not an accomplice, he is the principal offender!"

Xu De's brows relaxed slightly. He looked up at Prosecutor Ma and said, "First of all..."

"Zhao Rui was the actual possessor of the drugs, and secondly, he contacted Sun Rui to commit drug trafficking."

"In this case, his role was that of a drug supplier." In practice, he should not be sentenced as an accomplice, but rather as a principal offender!

Theoretically, the only real accomplice is Zhang Yao, but he was clearly unaware of the case.

In general.

Zhao Rui is the principal offender in the drug trafficking case!

"Zhao Rui? You really believe he's involved in those 1300g of drugs?"

Prosecutor Ma looked slightly surprised, but after hearing his words, she thought for a moment and gave an answer.

Even if he really did "sell" them.

"But as long as Zhao Rui is unaware of the secondary dilution of the heroin raw material liquor, then...theoretically, he only needs to be aware of the original..."

The dosage is 650ml.

"That means the drug weighs approximately 450g and has a purity of 70%!"

Xu De shook his head, a thought flashing in his eyes. After pondering for a moment, he added, "But!"

"Prosecutor Ma, in the statements provided by the police and the prosecution, the suspect mentioned a point to Sun Rui."

"That is, the defendant Zhao Rui instructed Sun Rui to dispose of this bottle of raw liquor... He didn't specify the method, but based on this statement, the authority he granted clearly included 'secondary dilution'!"

"Furthermore, could Zhao Rui not know that the raw materials he provided were potentially diluted? Keep in mind, the purity of the raw materials he supplied was as high as 70%!"

As expected, this is clearly stated in the law.

That is, "indirect intent!"

If Zhao Rui, as the supplier, knew that Sun Rui might dilute the product, but still allowed it to be provided...

"Therefore, legally, it's more likely that Zhao Rui is responsible for the total 1300g!"

Xu De's expression was serious, his tone was solemn, and his words were highly logical.

"Just like Zhao Rui himself has no intention of selling drugs, but he knows that Sun Rui is a drug dealer and will sell drugs. If he still transfers drugs to him under such circumstances, it constitutes the crime of drug trafficking."

Even if the court ultimately determines that they are only responsible for the total amount of "650ml of heroin-based liquor."

"But they still bear some responsibility for the harm caused to innocent people!"

Indirect intent or deliberate negligence will result in liability for the consequences.

Also.

"The same principle applies to innocent passersby being lured into using it."

"Zhao Rui's confession stated that he was unintentionally lured into using drugs, and instead of immediately stopping, he became addicted!"

"Since Zhao Rui had induced Sun Rui to use drugs, he must have known that Sun Rui was using his drugs to lure her."

"At this moment."

"Zhao Rui possesses the trait of 'having foresight but indifference'!"

"This falls under Article 15 of the Criminal Law [Intentional Crime], specifically the category of indirect intent!"

Whether it's indirect or direct.

Legally, this is considered an intentional crime! Since it is an intentional crime, the perpetrator is still the mastermind in this criminal chain and needs to bear responsibility.

But once responsibility is required, then...

"The defendant, Zhao Rui, is facing at least four extremely unfavorable factors!"

Xu De spoke again, rattling off four points in a row.

"[The principal offender] [the goods entered society] [were used to lure non-drug users into using them] [did not plead guilty or show remorse, and did not surrender or perform meritorious service]!"

Upon hearing this...

Prosecutor Ma was slightly taken aback. He wanted to say something, but the words wouldn't come out.

Followed by.

He started stroking his chin in thought, and after a long while, he took a deep breath and said helplessly, "You brat...does Zhao Rui have a grudge against you?"

Good grief, the other party's attitude and way of thinking... they really want Zhao Rui dead!

Any judicial determination that requires them to be responsible for 1300g of drugs.

Therefore, Zhao Rui will face a significantly increased level of responsibility, especially since the charge of "inducing innocent people to use drugs" is a major disadvantage that will be dealt with severely!

If it can truly be determined...

The probability of being sentenced will increase from the original 10% to 20% chance of a suspended death sentence.

It has risen to 80%!

Eighty percent chance of a suspended death sentence?

No.

"There's an 80% chance of him dying instantly!"

The remaining 20% ​​are death sentences with a two-year reprieve, and as for the so-called "life imprisonment"? There's no need to worry about life imprisonment at all, because the crimes are too serious to warrant a sentence.

"What do you mean by 'having a grudge' or 'not having a grudge'?"

Xu De, however, didn't care at all.

After clearing his mind, he breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a straight face, "That's what the law says!"

The Criminal Code is written this way, so he uses it this way. Isn't that normal?

What? Zhao Rui himself doesn't think so? Cai Peng also has objections?

There's nothing we can do about that.

Xu De only listens to the law; he does whatever the law tells him to do, and he resolutely refuses to break the law or regulations!

If there are genuine objections, the other party can request amendments to the Criminal Code.

"Sigh, who would have thought... the son of Haicheng's 'real estate tycoon' would actually be a major drug kingpin!?"

Xu De's face showed a look of emotion, as if he were saying that the world is cold and the morality is low.

Prosecutor Ma rolled her eyes and said speechlessly, "Indeed, who could have imagined it?"

"Even Zhao Rui himself probably didn't expect this."

Goodness, a major drug lord... This lawyer is really heartwarming. He's worried that Zhao Rui will get cold in the chilly weather at the end of October, so he's putting all sorts of hats on his head!

Zhao Rui himself didn't even know he was hiding drugs.

Suddenly, he became a drug lord in Haicheng!

"Hey kid, got something else?"

Prosecutor Ma glanced at him sideways, clearly intending to see him out.

I took time out of my schedule to help the other party investigate for over an hour... This isn't a privilege everyone gets. If we kept investigating, would he even be able to get his work done?

"Yes, there's one last thing."

Xu De smiled and moved closer, showing off his shamelessness.

"Prosecutor Ma...can I get the physical evidence for forensic examination?"

"Is that paper bag for that bottle or something...?"

'

He paused, glanced to the side, and Lin Yue immediately sighed, reminding him, "Louis XIII!"

"Yes, let's see if this bottle of Louis XIII was given to us by Zhao Rui!"

Upon hearing this...

Prosecutor Ma's face showed hesitation.

to be frank.

The reason why it's not yet confirmed whether this bottle of wine belongs to Zhao Rui is quite simple.

First, the prosecutors did not know the serial number of the package containing the wine.

These days, the concept of anti-counterfeiting for liquor is not yet widely understood, and Zheng Tong and others are also unaware of it.

Second, the physical evidence was fragmented!

Xu De took the paper bag and left it in the "Yangcan Kindergarten Case"; while the wine bottle was in the "Drug Trafficking Crime" case handled by Prosecutor Ma!

The other party has dozens of bottles of auxiliary liquor; it's unlikely they would specifically focus on the serial number and origin of just one bottle.

only.

This type of cross-case forensic examination...

"This..." Prosecutor Ma hesitated, his brow furrowing slightly, before finally shaking his head and saying, "This needs to be discussed with Prosecutor Zheng."

Lawyers only have the right to apply for and make suggestions regarding handling cases.

The case involves multiple cases... or even two major cases!

Then Xu De wouldn't have much authority.

at this time.

Lawyer Zhao Chenggong, standing to one side, seemed to suddenly remember something, raised an eyebrow, and said repeatedly, "We work for Prosecutor Zheng!"

"During our previous phone call, Prosecutor Zheng said he felt there was something he was looking for in your case, Prosecutor Ma!"

Upon hearing this...

Prosecutor Ma was slightly moved, but still said, "Let me ask first."

The words were spoken.

Prosecutor Ma did not avoid suspicion and directly took out his phone to make a call. The contact person was listed as "Director Zheng".

"Beep beep beep~"

The call was connected the next second.

Prosecutor Ma then said, "Hey, Director Zheng, there's a forensic examination..."

"Hmm? Okay, okay."

"It's just a bottle of wine, which is suspected to be one of Zhao Rui's items that he moved."

"Okay, I'll cooperate with you after you return to the procuratorate."

44

'

A moment later, the call ended.

Prosecutor Ma put his phone back in his pocket, then looked up and said, "Okay, Director Zheng said to apply when we get back."

The moment the words were spoken.

Xu De immediately beamed with joy.

Now that everything was settled, he prepared to leave with his men, but his gaze kept drifting towards the table. Finally, unable to resist, he asked again, "Could I borrow these files?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the documents on the table, his index finger and thumb slightly touching.

"Just a little bit, just a tiny bit!"

Prosecutor Ma: ?

"Don't push your luck!"

Xu De struggled to say, "I just want to know the public information, what exactly were the consequences of this bottle of wine? Any legally verifiable records will do!"

"Get lost!"

Xu De is gone.

But it was worth it for him to leave!

Because the cases were interconnected, Xu De managed to obtain some ordinary documents by relying on his limited remaining authority, with Prosecutor Ma turning a blind eye to some things.

These documents reveal just how many innocent people were lured away by the alcohol!

"Well, it was definitely worth it!"

"Being shameless has its advantages. If you were more thin-skinned, without this document, you'd have to get a new one during the recess!"

4:30 PM.

Haicheng, at the entrance of the municipal procuratorate.

Xu De stood on the high platform, overlooking the scenery of Haicheng. He felt refreshed, as if he had taken a hot bath.

This time, getting the job... was a little harder than expected. Let alone becoming a prosecutor, if it weren't for Lin Yue's wealthy family background...

If Xu De were to pick through the auxiliary materials one by one, he would at least have to see the numbers before he noticed them!

But the recess won't give him that much time...

"Things are almost done."

"The forensic examination results should be available in two or three days."

Xu De straightened his chest, took a deep breath, looked at Lin Yue to the side, and spoke with a smile.

If there's any progress in this case, there will be a lot more accusations that can be leveled against Zhao Rui!

With four major unfavorable factors, exceeding the principle of not killing, and the main culprit in the case... Goodness, once the trial begins, it's like being surrounded on all sides!

What is disadvantageous to the other side is our advantage!

Thinking of this, Xu De felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and his mood was exceptionally wonderful.

Looking at Lin Yue now, Xu De felt she had become much prettier. He asked, "How long until the second hearing?"

Lin Yue put her hands on her hips and exhaled a breath of stale air.

"The facts of the case are clear; the prosecutor doesn't need to reinvestigate the case, they only need to amend the indictment!"

"Prosecutor Zheng and the others aren't here... They've most likely gone to the court. It's obvious that the process of amending the indictment is nearing its end."

Under normal circumstances.

After the complaint is amended, the court recess will last for at least a month, most likely two months.

Because amending the indictment means changing the charges, and when the charges change, the prosecutor naturally has to reinvestigate the case and gather evidence, which is a lot of trouble.

But this case...

The facts that suspect Zhao Rui committed the crime of drug trafficking are exceptionally clear! There is absolutely no need for further investigation and evidence gathering!

Therefore, completing the process within a week is considered slow; the reason it takes another four days is because...

Simply put, after the complaint is filed, the court needs to hold a hearing three days after the procedures are completed!

But in any case...

"Only four days left."

Xu De murmured, then a warm smile appeared on his face, his eyes gleaming with eagerness.

Having secretly acquired so many hats, there are many unfavorable factors.

I don't know... after the second hearing, this situation, which can be described as "ambushed from all sides by the judicial system and could constitute a surprise attack,"...

Can Cai and Peng break through the encirclement?

Xu De always showed great respect to such a prominent lawyer.

"Keep an eye on the situation with the client and the hospital."

"Apart from this, we do not need to take any further action."

"Right now, we just need to wait for the forensic report to arrive. Once we have it and confirm that our reasoning is sound, then we'll use the smashing of the cup as a signal."

Xu De took a deep breath, and as he spoke, a resolute and decisive glint flashed in his eyes.

"Immediately surround and kill Zhao Rui!"
