As a Lawyer, You Sent the Judge In? (Strong Wind And Thick Fog) - Chapter 507

Chapter 507 If you do this, you have to send it all to him!

Qin Xiao knew very well that this was the fault of the court and the procuratorate.

 They must handle this problem properly.

 Otherwise… it will make them look messy and they will be unable to get rid of it no matter how they do it.

 They have also considered all the things that the court has considered.

 It is nothing more than the pressure from above, the influence of public opinion, and Zhang Hongtao’s attorney.

 For them, the easiest trouble to deal with and solve is Zhang Hongtao’s client lawyer Su Bai.

It is indeed difficult for the court to uphold the original judgment of first instance.

 But in some aspects, it is difficult for the court to handle it, but it is much easier for them to handle it here.

 After all, the powers are different.

The court only has the right to make judgments, but they have the right to review.

 “You plead guilty and accept the punishment.”

 As a result of the appeal, the court asked them to review and supplement the evidence.

If he doesn’t plead guilty and accept punishment, then force him to plead guilty and accept punishment!

 Qin Xiao thought to himself and had a definite idea about the case Zhang Hongtao was involved in.

.

 ….

On the other side, Xu Mingyuan, the leader of the prosecution and review team responsible for Zhang Hongtao’s case, was interrogating Zhang Hongtao in the detention center’s review room.

 “I have not committed any malfeasance!”

 In the meantime, there is a long time for supplementary evidence.

 He hopes Zhang Hongtao can agree to this condition.

“You have pressure, but I am facing being wronged and accused of being a judge who violates laws and disciplines. Don’t I have pressure?”

As long as he is a little willful, Zhang Hongtao can be censored for a year!

Zhang Hongtao was originally sentenced to six months in prison, and he was put under review for one year. He should be very clear about the severity of the crime.

“Moreover.”

 Now we are waiting for Zhang Hongtao’s attitude.

  After all, one year on probation is much longer than six months in prison.

 Zhang Hongtao was dissatisfied with the first-instance judgment and filed an appeal.

 The review period is clearly stipulated in the law.

Faced with Xu Mingyuan’s conditions, Zhang Hongtao refused very simply.

 But he also knew in his heart that Zhang Hongtao could not agree to this condition from the beginning.

 He has a bias when making judgments, and he admits this.

Xu Mingyuan is now saying that it is very good, saying that he will be given a suspended sentence and the criminal penalty will be reduced.

“But I firmly disagree with asking me to plead guilty to a false accusation!”

Although the law clearly stipulates that people cannot be detained for such a long time.

 He has enough patience for this matter.

However, they will always get stuck if they are stuck with bugs. If they really can’t get stuck with a few more bugs and fix a few edges, then the problem will be solved.

The other party insists that he has committed a crime of dereliction of duty, which is completely unacceptable to him.

Facing the conditions offered by Xu Mingyuan, Zhang Hongtao said calmly: “I don’t accept it.”

“But you should also know very well in your heart that although I have a certain tendency, my judgments are all within the scope of the law.”

 The current situation is that the first-instance verdict has been made, and it stands to reason that Zhang Hongtao should be allowed to serve his sentence.

“As long as you plead guilty and accept punishment, I will find a way to reduce your criminal punishment and try to get a suspended sentence. What do you think?”

Xu Mingyuan sat in the examination room and looked at Zhang Hongtao with a dull look.

 If Zhang Hongtao pleads guilty and accepts punishment, this matter will be much easier to handle.

“I know you are under pressure in this case, because the identity of the defendant is relatively special, the background is relatively large, and the relationships involved are also very complicated.”

“Zhang Hongtao… your case is currently being appealed to the High Court for a second trial. The High Court is currently citing insufficient evidence as the reason and asked our prosecutorial department to supplement the evidence.”

But.…

 “It’s impossible for me to accept this condition.”

“You also know that in this case, our prosecutorial department is also under great pressure.”

“You did have a certain tendency when you tried that case. You should know this in your heart, right?”

“If you have facts, evidence, or any clues about my violation of laws and disciplines, and you sentence me, no matter how heavy the punishment is, I will accept the result.”

this matter.…

Xu Mingyuan knocked on the table and stared at Zhang Hongtao.

“Prosecutor Xu, you are also very clear about this case. After all, you have followed up on this case since I was investigated from the beginning.”

 When he makes judgments, he always has a legal basis and there is absolutely no malfeasance in his duties!

But.

“We have been in contact with each other for such a long time.”

 But if a normal review is conducted, he has no criminal behavior at all!

 One is to have a reduced criminal penalty but have a criminal record.

 But the other one has no criminal behavior at all.

 Zhang Hongtao knows very well which of these two is more important, and of course he prefers the latter.

 In this case, Zhang Hongtao must directly reject Xu Mingyuan’s suggestion.

Hearing that Zhang Hongtao rejected his proposal, Xu Mingyuan smiled and didn’t take it too seriously.

 Continue to speak: “Zhang Hongtao, I know you feel aggrieved.”

“But your grievances are of little use. Everyone involved in this case is under tremendous pressure.”

“Many of us are paying attention to this case under pressure from above. Now it involves not one person but a group.”

“If your case is not handled well, many people will be affected, and the impact will be great.”

 “Let me give you an explanation.”

“In this case, if you plead guilty and accept punishment, the court will most likely give you a suspended sentence.”

“But if you refuse to plead guilty, we will conduct a review according to the normal process, which will take about a year.”

“The review time is much longer than the time you are sentenced.”

“I think you should think carefully about whether to plead guilty or not.”

“Don’t directly say that you refuse to plead guilty. The situation you will face if you don’t plead guilty is very serious.”

Facing Xu Mingyuan’s opening, Zhang Hongtao frowned. Was this an obvious threat to him?

The meaning of Xu Mingyuan’s words is very obvious. He pleaded guilty and accepted punishment. This case has been explained to many people. The court can give him a suspended sentence when sentencing him.

 On the other hand, if he does not plead guilty and accept punishment, which brings trouble to these people, the court can punish him without violating the rules.

However, the prosecutor can use the investigation of supplementary evidence as a reason to impose actual punishment on him.

 At the end of the day, if it really can’t go on any longer, will you give some symbolic compensation?

 This routine…

To be honest, Zhang Hongtao knew very well in his heart that he would not let go or admit his guilt and accept punishment.

 The other party is very likely to do this.

and!

  The procuratorate added evidence and it was legal and compliant. Even if it brought this matter to the public and put it on the Internet, it could not find any problems.

 This is a multiple-choice question for him.

 If you choose to plead guilty and accept punishment, you will be suspended. If you do not choose to plead guilty and accept punishment, you will stay in the detention center for one year.

 After thinking for a long time, Zhang Hongtao raised his head and looked at Xu Mingyuan calmly.

“I reiterate that I did not neglect my duties or bend the law. Even if the investigation takes longer, I am willing to wait.”

“I believe that the law will definitely give me a fair and just verdict in the end!”

Zhang Hongtao knows very well that if he pleads guilty and accepts punishment, it will confirm the fact that he committed a crime.

Even if he stays in the detention center for a year, he will be found not guilty by then. If you don’t plead guilty and accept punishment now, you’ll just have to wait for a year, but once you plead guilty, the stain will be with you for life!

 For Zhang Hongtao, the former is obviously more acceptable.

Xu Mingyuan was not surprised by Zhang Hongtao’s choice, but he was about to continue persuading him.

He was interrupted by Zhang Hongtao: “I have made it very clear.”

 “I believe the law will restore my innocence.”

“No matter how long I wait, I will wait. Let alone one year, I can wait for three years.”

“But in this case, can I be detained for three years?”

“I don’t want to say more about the rest. My attorney will be fully responsible for my case.”

 After speaking, Zhang Hongtao did not speak any more.

Xu Mingyuan frowned slightly. Zhang Hongtao’s choice was undoubtedly a bad result for him.

Zhang Hongtao expects his attorney to intervene in this case?

 However, during the review of supplementary evidence, even Zhang Hongtao’s attorneys have a decisive power in the legal circle. As long as they abide by the legal rules, they can still solve the matter.

As for public opinion…public opinion can influence illegal legal procedures, but it cannot influence normal legal procedures.

Is it possible to rely on the lawyer from Bai Jun Law Firm? It definitely won’t work from here!

Xu Mingyuan said: “It doesn’t matter if you refuse now.”

 “But let me remind you first.”

“If you expect your attorney to be able to influence the legal process, you also know that it is completely impossible.”

“You refuse to plead guilty and accept punishment. You must think clearly about the consequences you will face.”

“Of course, during our investigation and review, if you are willing to plead guilty and accept punishment, then the conditions I offered before will still count.”

 “Think about it for yourself.”

Zhang Hongtao directly rejected Xu Mingyuan: “I don’t have to think about it, I want to see my client lawyer.”

Xu Mingyuan frowned even more and left the examination room without saying a word.

After Xu Mingyuan left, Zhang Hongtao took a long breath. As a judge, he also knew what he would face.

 In the next year…it is really possible that he will be detained in the detention center.

But…it only takes about a year.

 He can afford to wait!

On the other side, Su Bai, who was at Bai Jun Law Firm, was originally waiting for an explanation from the prosecution department.

 Awaiting the final results of the investigation.

 Whether to withdraw the case or to continue the appeal, both points are acceptable.

 But the one waiting was Zhang Hongtao, who wanted to see him.

 This is very strange, because Su Bai and Zhang Hongtao had communicated before.

 The two people believe that this case needs to wait until the prosecution department gives the corresponding results before discussing how to proceed.

 If you want to see him now, something must have happened.

So, Su Bai brought Li Xuezhen to the Huishi Detention Center.

The staff at the detention center did not embarrass Su Bai. After going through the normal procedures, Su Bai met Zhang Hongtao in the summons room.

 Zhang Hongtao informed Su Bai of the general content of his conversation with Xu Mingyuan.

Su Bai frowned slightly after hearing the whole process.

“The prosecutorial department requires you to plead guilty and accept punishment and provide a corresponding confession. Otherwise, it will continue to provide additional evidence for the case?”

 “Maybe as long as a year?”

 The maximum period for supplementary evidence is six months.

If you continue to request additional evidence and want an extension, you must apply to the higher court.

According to Xu Mingyuan’s statement, does this mean he wants to delay it for a year?

 Zhang Hongtao nodded: “That’s right.”

 “It’s okay, Lawyer Su, I can wait.”

“They will only delay it for a year at most, and I can be acquitted after one year.”

“I called you, Lawyer Su, over this time, just because I want to talk to you about this matter.”

“I know that this kind of thing may not be easy for you, Lawyer Su. After all, these are all within the legal process.”

　　　….”

This time Zhang Hongtao just wanted to tell Su Bai roughly what happened.

 After all…his case was entrusted by Su Bai.

 As the entrusted lawyer, Su Bai should know these things.

Su Bai shook his head: “There is no problem in supplementing evidence according to legal procedures.”

“But your sentence was only six months. How long can you wait to review additional evidence?”

“In this process, it is completely possible to be released on bail pending trial.”

“You can even be released on bail pending trial right now.”

“This case of yours…don’t worry about anything else for now. Prepare to be released on bail pending trial.”

“But…to be released on bail pending trial, does this also require consent?”

 In response to Zhang Hongtao’s question, Su Bai nodded: “It’s a need.”

“However…it is your statutory legal obligation to be released on bail pending trial.”

“This is not considered a violation and is also within the scope of the corresponding laws.”

“You don’t have to worry about this anymore… Since the evidence is being supplemented, I will apply for bail pending trial.”

“Since they are delaying, we can keep delaying, and it won’t have much impact on you.”

Zhang Hongtao nodded when he heard Su Bai’s arrangement.

 “I listen to Lawyer Su.”

.

 ….

 In the summons room of the detention center, Su Bai and Zhang Hongtao simply further analyzed and sorted out the case.

 Leaved the detention center.

This visit to the detention center is already the second time Su Bai has come to the detention center.

 According to previous experience in handling cases, it is generally not necessary to visit your client multiple times.

 But this case… is obviously different.

To be honest, Su Bai did not expect that Xu Mingyuan would use supplementary evidence as a reason to detain Zhang Hongtao for a long time to make Zhang Hongtao admit to a false crime.

He originally thought that the prosecutorial department would most likely withdraw the case, or file an appeal to the High Court based on the current situation.

 Even more…forged evidence.

However, the possibility of forging evidence is extremely low.

 From this point of view, Xu Mingyuan is still very resourceful.

 Beside, Li Xuezhen’s face was serious: “Lawyer Su…”

“Xu Mingyuan’s behavior can be considered an act of coercion, right?”

 “Let’s go directly and report him!”

Su Bai shook his head: “Without evidence, the report cannot be accepted.”

“Another point is that the current actions of the other party do not have many legal loopholes and are all in compliance with the law.”

“So… in this case, we must first ensure the protection of the rights and interests of our client and obtain bail pending trial.”

  “Then we’ll talk about the rest.”

Li Xuezhen nodded, but her face was still a little angry.

The other party’s behavior… is obviously an act of forcing a confession!

Shouldn’t he be arrested and sent to him? .
