Chapter 110: You Say Your Procedure Violated No Rules? Then You Still Have to Be Sent In!

Baijun law Firm.

Inside the office.

Su Bai was simply organizing the materials.

The Supreme Court instructed the Nandu High Court to initiate the retrial procedure for the Lu Ying case.

It would not be long before it entered the retrial procedure.

Su Bai would also, as entrusted counsel for the victim, cooperate with the public prosecutor in lawfully exercising the function of accusation and safeguarding the rights and interests of the victim’s side.

Bang bang bang!

Li Xuezhen’s small face was filled with excitement as she walked into the office.

In this case, evidently, there was a possibility of achieving her accomplishment, namely sending them all in!

This time, although it was not a matter of sending in the presiding judge.

It had not reached the most satisfactory expectation.

But it was still a matter of sending in an adjudicator sitting on the judicial bench!

No matter how one put it.

That was still a member of the collegial panel.

In the previous case, that person, Guo Xiaojun’s case, had almost achieved the accomplishment of sending in the presiding judge.

Although this time it was a little regrettable, still, however one put it, it counted as taking a small step forward.

At present the accomplishments already achieved were: sending in the defendant, sending in opposing counsel, sending in…

Mm! Those on the defendant’s bench could be regarded as completed!

What was lacking was the judicial bench!

This time send in an adjudicator, next time send in the presiding judge!

Delightful, a grand slam of accomplishments!

Achieving a grand slam of accomplishments during the internship period, that would be remarkable.

As for how many consecutive victories there were, for Li Xuezhen, that was already unimportant, in any event they were all going to win.

Now, the most crucial thing was to achieve her own accomplishment point!

Letting out a small breath, Li Xuezhen smiled with narrowed eyes, handed the materials in her hand to Su Bai, and said:

“Lawyer Su, these are the materials I have already organized.”

“Alright, put them on the desk first.”

Su Bai slightly nodded and let out a long breath.

The general course of this case had already been fully understood.

The course of the case, and the key points and key factors of the judgments at first instance and second instance, were also already completely clear.

The subjective factors in the judgments at first instance and second instance were:

Aside from the fact that the perpetrator, while driving a vehicle, struck Lu Ying and caused rather serious injuries, and because Lu Ying knew that she was pregnant, she then argued with Qin Xiaofeng, who had gotten out of the car to inspect the situation.

Thus giving rise to this case.

There was also the circumstance that Qin Xiaofeng voluntarily surrendered himself.

This was also the key reason why Qin Xiaofeng was sentenced to a suspended death sentence at first instance.

Qin Xiaofeng did not know that Lu Ying was pregnant, and voluntarily surrendered himself, therefore at first instance he was sentenced to a suspended death sentence.

However, this circumstance of voluntary surrender was very thought provoking.

The time Qin Xiaofeng committed the crime was the morning of the 22nd of the month in which the case occurred, yet he did not go surrender himself until the afternoon of the 24th.

Tsk tsk.

After two days had passed, you call this voluntary surrender?

As for the judgment at second instance, it was somewhat absurd.

It should have been a problem of the subjective intent of the adjudicators.

According to Chu Lei’s description, this adjudicator He Hui had very serious problems!

After placing the materials on the table, Su Bai drank a sip of tea and looked at Li Xuezhen:

“Lawyer Li, in this case, there is one very important matter that requires you to handle…”

“If it is handled well, then there will be no problem with this case.”

“And if it is not handled well?”

Li Xuezhen’s small face was puzzled.

Su Bai: I had already built up the mood, and now you have even learned to answer in advance? You are telling me this…?

He drank a sip of tea to ease the atmosphere, and Su Bai spoke again:

“If it is not handled well, then this case may become very difficult to manage, and at that time perhaps your consecutive victories during your internship period will be interrupted…”

“Lawyer Li, you do not want to lose either, do you…?”

The moment she heard that the consecutive victories might be interrupted, Li Xuezhen’s small face immediately became anxious.

That definitely could not happen!

Once the consecutive victories were interrupted, it would be difficult to resume them during the internship period.

Moreover, this case was one of the rare major accomplishment points.

If she missed this case, then trying to find another case in which someone on the judicial bench could be sent in would be difficult!

Li Xuezhen’s small face looked flustered.

“Lawyer Su, say it!”

“As long as Lawyer Su says it, I will definitely be able to accomplish it.”

Su Bai nodded with satisfaction, if only she had been like this earlier.

What he wanted Li Xuezhen to handle was not any difficult matter, it merely required a certain degree of social maneuvering.

According to Li Xuezhen’s status and connections.

A direct disciple of a major legal authority, with senior brothers and sisters spread throughout Nandu’s legal and political circles.

This matter was very simple for Li Xuezhen!

After Li Xuezhen heard Su Bai’s arrangement, her small face turned serious:

“Lawyer Su, do not worry, I will definitely be able to handle this matter well!”

“If I handle this matter well, then our consecutive victories will not be interrupted, right?”

“Mm!”

“If you handle this matter well, our consecutive victories definitely will not be interrupted.”

“Alright Lawyer Su, then I am relieved, I definitely can handle this matter well.”

“Mm! I believe in you!”

Su Bai smiled and nodded.

Now.

Drawing a big pie was no longer popular, grasping little thoughts was popular!

Looking at Li Xuezhen’s back as she left the office, Su Bai smiled slightly.

Inside the office.

After Li Xuezhen left, Su Bai leisurely brewed a cup of tea.

He had only just taken one sip when he saw that Chu Lei was calling him.

After answering the call.

“Lawyer Su… that adjudicator from the second instance came to find me again…”

Again…?

Once was not enough, and now he came a second time, was that it?

Su Bai asked: “What did that adjudicator from the second instance come to find you for…?”

“He said that this case would not be easy to fight this time, and wanted to recommend a good law firm to me.”

Taken at face value, those words sounded as though it was He Hui acting out of kindness.

But in reality, the hidden meaning was that he did not want Baijun law Firm to take this case.

Hiss.

It seemed that Baijun law Firm had considerable influence in Nandu.

That He Hui had actually made such a request.

Absurd.

On the other end of the phone, Chu Lei continued speaking: “I preserved this evidence, does that He Hui count as threatening me…?”

“Lawyer Su, this adjudicator, can we perhaps send him…”

Chu Lei stopped mid sentence.

Su Bai did not take up Chu Lei’s sentence, but instead said: “Send the evidence to me first.”

“Alright Lawyer Su.”

After Su Bai hung up the call and briefly reviewed the evidence Chu Lei had sent him, he again called Chu Lei.

“This evidence does not count as evidence.”

“Generally speaking, it is merely an adjudicator conducting a simple inquiry of you, and in terms of procedure and regulations, there is no problem.”

“Ordinarily speaking, when adjudicators or presiding judges ask questions of this kind, it is a form of goodwill toward either the plaintiff or the defendant.”

“However, this He Hui clearly harbors ill intent, so for now you do not need to concern yourself with him.”

“Although this evidence cannot be used as evidence to accuse He Hui, it is very important in court.”

“Keep it carefully for now.”

“Alright Lawyer Su, I will keep it safely.”

The call ended.

Looking at the phone screen and the evidence Chu Lei had sent him.

Su Bai silently recited.

This He Hui.

If he had not had even the slightest connection with the original second instance judgment in this case, Su Bai truly would not believe it.

However, one troublesome point was that He Hui indeed had not committed any errors in procedure or regulations.

To find the problem he had in the original second instance judgment was somewhat difficult.

But!

Did he think that because he had committed no errors in these procedures, he could not still be sent in?

What a joke!

There was difficulty, yes, but no one had said it was impossible!

Su Bai sat in the office chair, drank a sip of tea, and his mood as a whole was very pleasant.

At present, he only needed to wait for the court session.

According to the instructions of the Supreme Court, the Nandu High Court initiated the retrial procedure for Lu Ying’s homicide case.

The court notified all parties to appear in court on time.

After receiving the notification.

Chu Lei’s entire extended family was extremely excited, because the initiation of the second instance retrial procedure.

Also meant that they could obtain legal justice for their loved one!

By contrast, Qin Xiaofeng’s family.

Appeared somewhat worried.

At home.

Qin Anhai, who ordinarily almost never smoked, had one cigarette butt after another placed on the tea table.

Wan Yuping as a whole looked very haggard, and it could very clearly be seen that her emotional state in these recent days had not been good.

After quite some time.

Wan Yuping finally slowly spoke: “Is that Lawyer Su really that formidable?”

“Could it be that he has been exaggerated?”

Qin Anhai let out a deep sigh: “I am not clear on that either, I asked that criminal lawyer from Nanyuan Law Firm, and what he said was that this Su Bai indeed belongs to the top tier of lawyers in criminal matters.”

“However, considering that Xiaofeng has the circumstance of voluntary surrender, the punishment for the criminal act can be mitigated, and the defense can proceed from this aspect.”

“There is a high probability that he can receive a suspended death sentence.”

Hearing this, Wan Yuping let out a long breath.

“A suspended death sentence is acceptable as long as it is not the death penalty.”

After Wan Yuping finished speaking.

The two of them remained silent the entire time and did not speak again, and it was unknown what they were thinking in their hearts.

Very soon.

The day of the hearing in Lu Ying’s homicide case arrived.

Because the degree of public attention was very high.

On the eve of the hearing.

Outside the courtroom, relevant media reporters had already gathered in full numbers, and the level of attention across the entire internet was also very high, and this lawsuit was still being heard by live broadcast.

As soon as the family members of the sued side and their defense lawyer, that is, Qin Xiaofeng’s side, arrived.

They were instantly surrounded by reporters so densely that not a drop of water could pass through.

“May I ask Mr. Qin and Ms. Wan, there is much dispute online regarding Qin Xiaofeng, some say he should receive the death penalty, while others say that sentencing him to death is too severe, given that he has only just reached adulthood and should be given one chance and punished more leniently.”

“What are your views on the above two kinds of opinions?”

“Mr. Qin, as a well known professor at Nandu University, why is it that in terms of education you raised a child like Qin Xiaofeng? The critical voices against you online are not few, and they believe that regarding Qin Xiaofeng’s educational issues and his tendency toward intentional homicide, you bear full responsibility, what is your view on this opinion, Mr. Qin?”

“Mr. Qin, please speak about your thoughts on appearing in court this time…”

“Mr. Qin, according to the court’s judgment, the second instance judgment had already been determined, but the victim’s family, dissatisfied with the second instance judgment, filed a petition to the Supreme Court, and this petition obtained the Supreme Court’s approval.”

“According to online opinion, it is highly possible that Qin Xiaofeng’s sentence may be increased in severity, regarding these online opinions, I would like to ask what kind of view Mr. Qin has?”

“…”

These questions were completely killing by words and execution by the heart.

They were plainly stabbing knives into the hearts of Qin Anhai and Wan Yuping.

The reporters surged forward and all crowded in front of Qin Anhai and Wan Yuping.

After all.

As the parents of the murderer Qin Xiaofeng, Qin Anhai was a well known professor, and Wan Yuping was a powerful woman in business.

And Qin Xiaofeng was plainly a rich second generation heir, driving a car worth five or six hundred thousand just after reaching adulthood, and at the same time he was also a university student.

These topic laden identities caused the discussion value surrounding Qin Xiaofeng’s side to become layered upon layered.

Regarding the questioning of this group of reporters.

Qin Anhai slightly frowned and did not speak, at this moment, Jiang Min, the lawyer from Nanyuan Law Firm who was entrusted in this case, saw that the two of them truly could not handle this scene, and therefore proactively spoke.

“Everyone, regarding the matter committed by Qin Xiaofeng, Mr. Qin and Ms. Wan are likewise very angry, however the hearing has not yet been conducted, and all matters have not yet been conclusively settled.”

“I ask that everyone pay more attention to the result of the hearing, rather than remaining focused on the family members, thank you all for your concern.”

As he spoke.

Jiang Min brought Qin Anhai and Wan Yuping into the trial court.

Seeing Qin Anhai and Wan Yuping, who possessed such great discussion value, enter the trial court.

The reporters from the news media all felt a burst of regret.

This time they still had not managed to interview the inner thoughts of the two of them.

If they had interviewed them, then it definitely would have become an explosive topic of discussion.

And just when everyone was regretting it, suddenly one reporter ran toward another direction.

The others, seeing this, also followed one after another.

The direction in which this group of reporters ran was precisely toward Su Bai’s side.

This time Su Bai, appearing as both the victim and the victim’s entrusted lawyer, also had a certain degree of discussion value.

This group of media people were professionals at digging up people’s hidden pasts, and they were not unfamiliar with Su Bai.

As early as when Chu Lei’s side had said which law firm he entrusted.

They had already dug Baijun law Firm up cleanly and completely.

At the same time.

Some veteran senior reporters also remembered who Su Bai was.

Was this not that lawyer from the Nandu Bank case who advertised himself?

Su Bai!

They remembered him very clearly!

“Lawyer Su, may I ask, this time, as the victim’s entrusted lawyer appearing in court, do you have anything you would like to say?”

“Lawyer Su, may I ask how you view this case, and what litigation requests you have regarding the hearing and the perpetrator?”

“……”

“Lawyer Su, I remember that you were the entrusting party in the Nandu Bank case, this time, Lawyer Su, surely you are not going to advertise yourself again, are you?”

Su Bai pulled at the corner of his mouth.

Alright, his dark history had been dug up.

Previously, the law firm had no money and no reputation, so he had wanted to make use of the media to advertise.

But!

Who could have expected that these media outlets were no good at advertising, yet very capable when it came to digging up dark history.

Hiss.

Facing the swarm of questions from this group of reporters.

Su Bai took a deep breath and revealed his white teeth:

“Regarding everyone’s concern for the entrusted situation of this case at our Baijun law Firm, we have already fully understood it.”

“Thank you all for your concern.”

“Thank you, thank you…”

Su Bai smiled as he spoke, and after finishing he could not wait to pull Li Xuezhen and Chu Lei into the court hearing.

“Lawyer Su, you still have not answered our questions, Lawyer Su.”

“Lawyer Su, do not leave!”

Hiss.

Inside the waiting room.

Su Bai wiped his sweat, fortunately he had walked quickly, otherwise if that group of unscrupulous media had dug up his dark history.

That would have counted as a troublesome matter.

He remembered that the Li Mo from that very first lawsuit.

Now in Nandu, to this day, apparently still had not found employment!
