Chapter 116: Public Prosecution Initiated! He Went In!

Ever since the Qin Xiaofeng case ended.

Baijun law Firm had become popular for a time.

Especially online, the segment in which Su Bai directly confronted the members of the collegial panel during the hearing made viewers exclaim that it was formidable.

This lawyer is too fierce, right, he directly confronted the members of the collegial panel in court, and that alone would already be something, but he even won the confrontation himself, and not only that, I just went to look at the official release, and that second instance adjudicatory personnel, have they all now been arrested…? I do not know whether it is true or false.

Tsk tsk, that ruthless…? They really arrested all the original adjudicatory personnel?

It is true, it is true! The official side has already issued a notice, verifying that they are under review and investigation, and it has also disclosed the progress!

Damn! Then I also need to go have a look.

I have already finished reading it and returned to say this, the lawyer in this hearing is truly fierce, this is the first time I have seen a lawyer able to be that fierce in court!

Hahaha, who says otherwise, they let him be a lawyer, and he sent the adjudicatory personnel in!

Hahaha; absolutely incredible!!

For now it is only being sent in, the review has not yet been finalized in nature, but I follow the official notices every day regarding the specific circumstances, and based on the situation I can analyze that this case absolutely has problems. I estimate that one adjudicatory official will definitely have to go in!

Hahaha, looking forward to it, looking forward to it!

There was continual heated discussion on the internet.

Inside Baijun law Firm, things were also very lively.

After the video of Su Bai angrily confronting the adjudicatory personnel in court spread.

Baijun law Firm received a considerable number of criminal case consultation requests.

But most of them were rather unreliable cases.

Just like after the Qi Feng case ended that time, someone called to consult, offering several hundred thousand to reduce an intentional homicide death sentence to a five year term of imprisonment.

It was absurd in the extreme.

After Su Bai finished understanding several cases, he rubbed his brow.

Not to mention him, merely as a lawyer, even if he were the presiding judge, even if he were the one striking the gavel, he would not dare render a judgment according to the client’s wishes!

There was one especially absurd case: the person had intentionally injured someone, causing injury to the other party, and was then sentenced to compensation and three months of criminal detention.

When Su Bai asked this party about the motive for striking first.

The party directly replied: I thought he might make a move, so I struck first, to gain the upper hand by acting first, is that wrong?

Mm!

Not wrong!

Su Bai could only say that the presiding judge’s sentence had still been somewhat light.

Although this time many absurd cases also came for consultation.

There were also many normal small and medium criminal cases.

Under Su Bai’s guidance, Xu Xiang accepted these cases.

Only.

After the Qin Xiaofeng case ended.

The firm’s personnel were clearly still insufficient, not that there were too few lawyers, but that there were too few reception staff.

The firm was in urgent need of a litigation administrative staff member.

Again through Xiao Haibo’s introduction, in less than one day, Su Bai recruited a pleasant surprise.

Han Chen, male, a graduate in administrative management from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

Han Chen himself had long aspired to an administrative position at a law firm, and with Xiao Haibo’s recommendation, he directly came to Baijun law Firm to serve as an administrative staff member.

From this point onward.

The firm added yet another newcomer.

Li Xuezhen was delighted: the firm expanded, status plus one.

Baijun law Firm.

The fifth day after the Qin Xiaofeng case ended.

Online, although the degree of attention regarding the issues contained within the Qin Xiaofeng case had declined somewhat, every day one could still see trending searches and related progress updates.

Review personnel have already examined the relevant questions raised
Review personnel have already investigated and handled the relevant persons involved in this case, and the relevant persons are currently accepting investigation and review
The Supreme Court is currently carrying out the final approval of Qin Xiaofeng’s death penalty judgment
Supervisory personnel have largely completed the investigation and handling of the relevant persons involved in this case, and are currently confirming information

With respect to several key issues in a major case that had aroused heated public discussion, the law enforcement of the relevant departments was extremely vigorous.

Law enforcement was transparent and public, and accepted supervision by the entire internet.

And many netizens were also waiting for the final results of the investigation and handling.

Inside Baijun law Firm, in the office.

Chu Lei and his family members sat on the sofa, thanking Su Bai.

“Lawyer Su.”

“This time in this case, thank you, Lawyer Su.”

As Chu Lei spoke, he also took out an embroidered silk banner.

Left: The law is not absent.

Right: Justice is not late.

“Lawyer Su, we do not know how to thank you, so we made this banner and are giving it to you.”

“Thank you.”

Su Bai accepted the banner with both hands and handed it to Li Xuezhen.

Li Xuezhen carefully put it away.

The third one, not bad!

The smile on her small face could not be suppressed.

This time Chu Lei came for three reasons, first to collect the written judgment, second to express his gratitude, and third to ask about certain matters.

“Lawyer Su.”

“I want to ask, in my case, the heated discussion online is very intense, and I also saw some people saying that Qin Anhai is involved in obstructing justice, I want to ask Lawyer Su, in this kind of situation, that Qin Anhai, will he be sentenced?”

“And also, that Qin Xiaofeng, I saw netizens saying that Wan Yuping wants to initiate a reconsideration.”

“If there is another retrial at that time, can I still hire you, Lawyer Su?”

Su Bai smiled and replied, dispelling Chu Lei’s worries.

“With respect to the first point, according to what I have learned, Qin Anhai is indeed under investigation, but exactly how many years he will be sentenced to depends on the investigation results of the supervisory authority, and the specific circumstances are not very clear.”

“But what can be certain is that since the supervisory authority has taken Qin Anhai away for investigation, that indicates Qin Anhai himself has certain problems.”

“As for the latter issue of reconsideration of the death penalty, you do not need to worry.”

“When the Supreme Court instructed the Nandu High Court to retry the case, that already indicated that the determination in this case had certain problems.”

“When the High Court sentenced Qin Xiaofeng to death, there were no procedural errors whatsoever, and the evidence and confirmation of Qin Xiaofeng’s surrender involved procedural violations by the law enforcement side, and under such circumstances, it is impossible for the judgment to be altered.”

After hearing Su Bai’s analysis of the two issues that worried him, and the relatively accurate conclusions he gave.

Chu Lei let out a long breath, and his tense state of mind relaxed considerably. After continuing to speak with Su Bai for nearly another hour.

He then left the law firm with several elderly relatives, their backs appearing somewhat desolate.

After Chu Lei and the several elderly people left, Li Xuezhen held the banner and softly spoke:

“Lawyer Su, this matter should have been a rather great blow to Chu Lei and his family, right?”

“Mm! It should indeed have been rather great.”

Su Bai nodded seriously.

In a situation like this, the hearts of the victim’s relatives were certainly struggling intensely.

However.

As entrusted counsel, what Su Bai could do was help the client achieve the requested objective.

Li Xuezhen let out a light breath and silently hung the banner in the most conspicuous place.

Several days later.

The Qin Xiaofeng case once again surged onto the trending searches.

The reason it once again ignited the internet was:

The Supreme Court’s approval had come down!

The death penalty was approved.

And it was to be carried out at the end of that month, namely on the thirtieth, leaving only a little more than ten days before the execution date.

And after the approval came down.

The notice from the relevant law enforcement departments regarding the review and supervision also came down.

The supervisory department, after reviewing He Hui, found that although he had not accepted other gifts from Qin Anhai.

He had indeed, under the influence of Qin Anhai’s request, rendered an erroneous adjudicatory judgment.

With respect to his own situation.

He Hui confessed without concealment to the facts asked about in the review.

As for Presiding Judge Zhou Qiangsheng and Adjudicator Zhang Guangquan, they were not aware of this matter.

But because they failed to perceive it and rendered an erroneous judgment, they were likewise given certain disciplinary sanctions.

Qin Anhai, on the other hand, had used his own status to cultivate ties with He Hui, influence the judgment, and through his own connections deliberately fabricate evidence of surrender.

The determination of Qin Xiaofeng’s surrender was revoked.

And the relevant responsible persons were held accountable.

Public prosecution was initiated against Qin Anhai.

The final handling results were:

He Hui, during his period of serving as a member of the collegial panel, deliberately guided the punishment of Qin Xiaofeng, knowingly violating the law while understanding it.

As an adjudicator, he had seriously affected the fairness of the adjudication, constituting an injustice to the law, and the results of his adjudication caused adverse social impact.

According to the Criminal Law: as an adjudicator, He Hui seriously affected judicial fairness, and public prosecution was initiated against him on the basis of the crimes within dereliction of duty, namely the crime of abuse of power and the crime of adjudicative dereliction of duty.

For the above crimes, the usual sentence is fixed term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention, and where the circumstances are serious, fixed term imprisonment of not less than five years and not more than ten years.

As for the handling results for Presiding Judge Zhou Qiangsheng and Adjudicator Zhang Guangquan.

Because the presiding judge was responsible for the result of the judgment and failed to foresee that the judgment was erroneous, the punishment was that he could not continue serving in an adjudicatory position, and he was reassigned away from the adjudicatory post.

As for the disciplinary result for Zhang Guangquan:

Zhang Guangquan was not informed and did not possess very great adjudicatory authority, and was given a warning sanction.

As for the handling result for the person responsible for the procedural violations in the surrender materials:

Because, under adverse influence, he committed erroneous procedural violations, resulting in serious effects on the judgment, public prosecution was initiated.

Handling result for Qin Anhai: using his own interpersonal relations, he seriously influenced judicial determination and seriously influenced judicial adjudication, and public prosecution was initiated against him.

At the moment the official side announced the handling results.

The official announcement of the handling results directly surged to the top of the trending searches.

The netizens’ comments were even more astonishing.

Damn! This case is not simple at all, it actually dragged out so many things! Incredible! Not only did the Supreme Court instruct a retrial of this case, it even increased the sentence! And that alone was not all, it even uncovered that an adjudicator’s ruling had problems!

And even the evidentiary materials had procedural violations! Damn! What does this mean?! This is taking them out together in one sweep!

Hahaha, originally I did not have too strong a feeling, but after hearing you say it like that, it really is! It really does have the feeling of wiping them out together in one sweep!

Which lawyer was that in the courtroom? So fierce? I remember earlier it seemed he angrily confronted the judge, and now he directly sent them in? Good heavens, during the earlier review stage I was still joking that perhaps adjudicatory personnel would go in, and this time he really did send them in?

If I only type a six, I feel that it can no longer express my intention, I have to type 6666666.

Too fierce, too fierce, this is simply too brutal, this is the first time I have seen litigation conducted like this!

Hahaha, truly too fierce, too fierce, probably no one imagined that this hearing would actually cause such a huge matter, I estimate that the defense lawyer for the defendant is now completely stunned.

How do you know? I checked, and the law firm where this defendant’s defense lawyer works really did have one person sent in by this accusing party’s lawyer, it feels like this is a natural counter!

Hahaha! In future lawsuits, first avoid this defendant’s defense lawyer and law firm, otherwise it is very likely that one may suffer undeserved disaster.

Jiang Min: ????

What did that mean?

Did that mean they were directly not allowing their Nanyuan Law Firm to survive in Nandu?

Hiss.

Their Nanyuan Law Firm was taking bullets while lying down.

Good heavens.

Jiang Min faintly felt that serving as Qin Xiaofeng’s defense lawyer might have been the most mistaken decision he had ever made, without question.

Baijun law Firm.

After the approval of the death penalty and the official notice results came down, Su Bai’s phone was also ringing off the hook.

Mainly because Baijun law Firm was originally already a top law firm in Nandu’s criminal law circle, and with the handling result of the Qin Xiaofeng case and the official notice.

Su Bai, for a time, drew the attention of all sides in Nandu’s legal circle.

The Qin Xiaofeng case had originally belonged to a normal case.

However.

Su Bai’s direct confrontation with the collegial panel in court had already been explosive enough.

Now the official handling results had come down, and among the collegial panel members, one had gone in, one had been transferred away, and one had received disciplinary sanctions.

This.

Although there indeed had been certain problems in the hearing, and these were what led to this kind of situation.

What ordinary criminal lawyer would dare directly confront the members of the collegial panel?

And furthermore.

What ordinary lawyer would have the ability to obtain that evidence?

Procedural violations in the surrender evidence materials, was that something an ordinary lawyer could obtain?

An ordinary lawyer could not even imagine this point of procedural violations in surrender evidence materials.

After all, from the perspective of a lawyer, the law enforcement side was not very likely to commit procedural violations.

But Su Bai thought of it!

And that was also a very crucial point!

Therefore, those who knew Su Bai all called to offer congratulations.

Those who did not have his phone number sent messages.

After all.

If they could build good relations with a top criminal lawyer, that too was a good thing for them.

However.

Su Bai did not have many lawyers with whom he had close relations in Nandu’s criminal law circle and Nandu’s legal circle.

As for some lawyers with whom he was not very familiar, Su Bai merely exchanged two polite sentences and then hung up.

As for the matter of Su Bai directly sending the adjudicator in.

After Xiao Haibo learned of it, he immediately called Su Bai.

“Hahaha!”

“Lawyer Su, this time you have become famous in Nandu’s criminal law circle, oh no, not only in Nandu’s criminal law circle, you have made your name throughout the national criminal law circle.”

“I have a junior schoolmate in Shadu, and even he heard about how Lawyer Su angrily confronted the members of the collegial panel in court, and afterward even produced evidence and submitted it for review and supervision, I only learned about this matter when my junior schoolmate called to ask me.”

“Lawyer Su!”

“Impressive indeed!”

“It seems that the cooperation between our Haifang Law Firm and your Baijun law Firm has allowed our Haifang Law Firm to gain a huge advantage!”

After Xiao Haibo’s call came through, he offered a burst of praise.

Su Bai smiled and exchanged a few polite words: “It is not that remarkable, we all acted in accordance with the law.”

“The main thing was that the members of the collegial panel in the hearing indeed violated the law, otherwise I would not have dared to confront them directly.”

“As for the others, those are other matters. If they had not done what they did, things could not possibly have turned out this way.”

“Lawyer Xiao, I was merely fortunate, I just happened to encounter a major case, and happened to win it.”

Xiao Haibo: ????

Did you think I ought to believe you?
It would be a miracle if another lawyer encountering this kind of case could win.

However, Xiao Haibo did not continue saying much, and merely mentioned another matter.

“Lawyer Su, do you know who the greatest victim was after Qin Xiaofeng lost this hearing?”

Su Bai was slightly puzzled: “Who? Was it not those unlawful persons?”

Xiao Haibo smilingly described the current situation faced by Nanyuan Law Firm.

“Right now Nanyuan Law Firm’s online reputation is very poor, and people have even dug up other lawyers from their firm and their prior courtroom litigation against you.”

“At present Nanyuan Law Firm is being mocked by netizens, one person went in, one client went in, and one client went down.”

“Their reputation has collapsed.”

“In my view, this Nanyuan Law Firm is very likely to fall from being a first rate law firm in Nandu to being a second rate law firm.”

“However, this is also a good thing, I heard that the character of the lawyers at this firm is not very good.”

Su Bai: ……

This, he truly had not expected would produce such a situation.

After all.

As litigation counsel, his principal objective was to help the client fight the case well.

Who could have imagined that from one such case, the netizens would dig up the opposing lawyers and the courtroom litigation in which they had fought against him.

Su Bai smiled and did not say much about this matter.

Xiao Haibo also merely mentioned it casually, and the two of them did not continue discussing this matter.

Instead, from this, they opened discussion regarding future cooperation between their law firms.

After hanging up the phone.

Xiao Haibo immediately called his assistant: “Go buy 2,500 grams (≈5.5 lb) of tea leaves, and it must be the finest kind.”

“Yes yes yes, more expensive than last time, yes, exactly that kind that costs twenty thousand yuan for 1,500 grams (≈3.3 lb)”

“Forget it, 2,500 grams (≈5.5 lb) may not be enough, buy 500 grams (≈1.1 lb) more and make it 3,000 grams (≈6.6 lb) altogether.”

“Do not ask why we are buying so much, this is business cooperation, understood?”

“Alright… hurry and take care of it.”

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Haibo let out a light breath, and judging from the current situation.

Their law firm’s cooperation with Baijun law Firm was entirely beneficial to them.

It was only a few 500 gram portions (≈1.1 lb each) of tea leaves, not worth mentioning.

At the same time.

After Li Xuezhen learned that the adjudicator had been publicly prosecuted.

Her small face puffed up, she let out a long breath, and her face was full of satisfaction.

The adjudicator went in.

A major achievement point accomplished plus one.

Next time, it should be the judge, right?

Accomplish the perfect achievement point!

Just thinking about it.

Li Xuezhen’s small face was excited, utterly delighted!!

It was necessary to continue studying criminal law.

Go in, go in, all go in.
