Chapter 172: Want to obtain a suspended sentence on second-instance appeal? What a beautiful fantasy! Impossible!

“Lawyer Su.”

Li Xuezhen turned her head and looked toward Su Bai.

“In Zhang Dahu’s case, Qian Wei as the presiding judge bears responsibility, then according to the evidence submitted by the prosecution.”

“This Li Mu’s identity and conduct should also bear a certain degree of responsibility, right?”

Su Bai smiled.

Li Xuezhen’s idea was indeed viable.

However, it had not yet reached that stage, and things had to be done step by step, did they not?

Su Bai had already arranged all of this, since Zhang Dahu had entrusted the agency authority for this case to Baijun Law Firm.

Then certainly no other accidents would occur, and everyone who should be sent inside would be sent inside.

Not a single one would escape.

The hearing ended.

Qian Wei’s eyes were filled with unwillingness, he refused to accept the first-instance judgment and wanted to file another appeal.

Was it not merely that his personal subjectivity had been too strong, thereby leading to a wrongful judgment?

Under normal circumstances, this charge would most likely result in a suspended sentence.

One year with one year suspension or two years with two years suspension.

And now they directly gave him an actual sentence of three and a half years?!

He could not accept it at all, and he would certainly appeal in the second instance.

At this time, Liu Jun also came before Qian Wei.

“Preparing to appeal for a second instance?”

“Yes! Second instance!”

Qian Wei nodded heavily.

In the second instance, the only opposing side would be the prosecution, and it would only be necessary to find some other new evidence or establish that the first-instance sentence was excessively heavy.

At that time.

It would still be possible to seek a judgment of innocence or a reduced sentence or a suspended sentence.

Qian Wei understood this process very clearly.

Looking at Qian Wei, Liu Jun knew what he was thinking.

In fact, this defeat in the first instance was also a blow to Liu Jun’s professional reputation.

In his heart, he likewise hoped that Qian Wei could continue appealing in the second instance.

“The fee for the first instance belongs to the first instance, and the fee for the second instance will be calculated separately, and furthermore the principal reason for the defeat in the first instance lies with you, this point I need to make clear in advance, in the second instance I will do my best, whether we can win or not, the attorney’s fee must still be paid.”

Liu Jun spoke calmly.

He charged fees in order to handle matters, and all these things had to be made clear in advance.

Qian Wei still felt some pain over the attorney’s fees, but when he thought of the prison term he still nodded.

“Alright, I trust Lawyer Liu, then when it comes to the second instance, it will still be a defense of innocence?”

“Yes, this time we will make full preparations, and we will still conduct a defense of innocence, I will find new evidence.”

“Do not worry, if there are no other unexpected circumstances, at most you will receive a suspended sentence.”

“Alright!”

Qian Wei nodded and agreed.

At the accusing party’s seat, Su Bai let out a light breath and waved his hand, calling Li Xuezhen to prepare to leave the hearing.

At this time Guan Tong came over smiling with his assistant, and proactively extended his hand:

“Lawyer Su, hello.”

“This time during the hearing, I must also thank you for your statements, only then could that Qian Wei be sentenced to an additional six months.”

“This time although our prosecution recommended a sentence of three years, in my heart I estimated that at most it would be one year of imprisonment, and it was even possible that it might have been one year with a two-year suspension.”

“I did not expect that he would actually be sentenced to three and a half years of actual imprisonment!”

“For a practitioner like Qian Wei who does not respect the law, receiving such a severe sentence genuinely makes me happy from the bottom of my heart!”

As a public prosecutor, Guan Tong’s ordinary area of responsibility was public prosecution cases involving duty crimes or certain other circumstances.

Toward those who committed crimes in violation of the law.

Especially those who knew the law and yet violated the law, he was particularly disgusted.

It could be said that as a public prosecutor, as part of the prosecution, Guan Tong genuinely loathed from the bottom of his heart those who committed crimes by taking advantage of their official positions, and possessed an upright legal conscience.

During his time as a public prosecutor, one of his past achievements was sending both the defendant’s lawyer and the defendant inside together.

At that time the defendant had committed a duty crime, and the entrusted lawyer had even wanted to destroy evidence, so how could it be acceptable not to send them both inside?

Facing Su Bai.

Guan Tong greatly admired a lawyer like Su Bai.

Likewise, Su Bai also held great respect for a public prosecutor like Guan Tong who was upright and unyielding.

How does that saying go, a hero cherishes another hero, although the two of them were both lawyers, both of them were safeguarding the justice of the law and the fairness of the law in different ways.

Facing someone of the same kind, both of them felt a sense of mutual respect.

“Lawyer Guan, hello.”

Su Bai smiled and extended his hand to shake Guan Tong’s hand, and at the same time also smiled and said:

“In this hearing, Lawyer Guan, as the public prosecutor, you likewise exerted tremendous force!”

“Fortunately, this lawsuit can be regarded as temporarily concluded!”

Guan Tong smiled and nodded: “However, I estimate that Qian Wei may again file an appeal later, and if he does appeal again, Lawyer Su, remember to come watch the second-instance hearing!”

“Certainly!”

Su Bai smiled and nodded.

The two chatted for a while and exchanged contact information.

Guan Tong still needed afterward to organize and submit certain materials, and did not continue with a deeper conversation.

Su Bai also waved his hand, signaling Li Xuezhen to follow, and returned to Nandu.

Inside Baijun Law Firm.

Qian Wei had been sentenced, and then naturally the judgment result in Zhang Dahu’s case was revoked.

Zhang Long and Zhang Dahu made a special trip to Baijun Law Firm to express their thanks.

Su Bai explained to Zhang Dahu certain related matters after the end of this hearing, and also asked for Zhang Dahu’s opinion.

“Specifically speaking, this hearing has not yet ended, people such as Chen Meixia and Li Mu were involved in certain unlawful and criminal conduct.”

“If you are willing, their responsibility can continue to be pursued.”

“What are your thoughts?”

Zhang Dahu clenched his fists tightly: “My thought is that if they can be sent inside, then they should be sent inside, people like them, today if they extorted me, then another day they will extort someone else.”

“If I had not encountered Lawyer Su, in this case I really might have had to pay four hundred thousand yuan.”

“I will listen entirely to Lawyer Su, whatever Lawyer Su says should be done is what should be done.”

“Mm! Then our law firm will continue to pay attention, and will submit certain evidentiary materials to the court and the supervisory department.”

“Okay Lawyer Su!”

After discussing roughly, once Su Bai had confirmed Zhang Dahu’s thoughts, he slightly nodded.

There was still quite a lot of follow-up in this case.

Inside the girls’ dormitory at Nandu University of Law.

Wang Kexin’s eyes shone brightly.

“Really? Then what then what then? Xuezhen hurry and tell me. Then what?”

“That Qian Wei, how many years was he sentenced to? Two and a half years?!”

Li Xuezhen smiled with narrowed eyes and extended one finger: “Two and a half years is not enough, add one more year!”

“Three and a half years?!”

“Yes!”

When Wang Kexin heard this, she was even more excited than Li Xuezhen, +1+1+1.

After being excited for several seconds, Wang Kexin vigorously shook her bun hairstyle: “Xuezhen, this case is a major case!”

“If other people come to know of it, it will definitely be able to establish the reputation of our law firm!”

Li Xuezhen’s eyes lit up: “That is right!”

“Kexin, how do you think the reputation should be established?”

“This is simple, just listen to me!”

Wang Kexin’s bun hairstyle shook vigorously: “Xuezhen, we only need to do this.”

Two hours later.

Wang Kexin struck the export key on the computer, and immediately afterward sent the completed video to Li Xuezhen.

“Xuezhen, I have already finished it.”

“You just directly post this video on our Baijun Law Firm account, there should not be any problem!”

Looking at the content of the video, Li Xuezhen was puzzled: “Will this work?”

“It will definitely work, trust me!”

Wang Kexin’s bun hairstyle shook, and she patted her flat chest while solemnly guaranteeing it.

“Alright.”

Li Xuezhen nodded seriously and posted the video to Baijun Law Firm’s account.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour.

One hour later.

The video was very clearly being pushed by the algorithm.

Someone in the comment section commented: ??

Damn, who is parodying Lawyer Su here! Lawyer Su can lose a case?!

After watching it.

My apologies, so it turns out Lawyer Su’s purpose was to send the judge inside! This move is brilliant! Truly brilliant!

The reversal before and after simply caught people completely off guard!

The content of the video was very simple, it was Wang Kexin using the gimmick of Su Bai losing a case, and then linking together the scenes of sending the judge inside.

This achieved a reversal effect.

Su Bai had no small amount of fame in short videos.

As soon as the gimmick of losing a case was thrown out, it immediately attracted a large number of people to watch.

Hmm??? Lawyer Su lost a case?! How is that possible? There is only the matter of Lawyer Su failing to send someone inside, there is no such thing as Lawyer Su losing a case, could it be that Lawyer Su did not send someone inside, so that means Lawyer Su lost the case?

Hahaha! Damn, this title is truly incredible, lost the case, yes, and then what? Lawyer Su immediately turned around and filed a report, and during the hearing sent the presiding judge inside, is this not clearly a wicked presiding judge making a malicious judgment!

Well said, it really does have that kind of clickbait feeling, come come come, let me see which unlucky presiding judge was sent inside.

The presiding judge Qian Wei of a basic-level court in Nandu!

Let me dig further into what happened in this case. Good heavens, helping someone up and then being falsely accused, this judge really dared to rule, he actually ruled that the person who helped should compensate four hundred thousand yuan!

He really dared to rule, but has he not now also been sent inside?

Hahaha, that is exactly right, exactly right!

Originally, this simple civil litigation case had not attracted too much attention.

Because this was only an ordinary civil case, it could even be said that it was only a very ordinary dispute case, one that could have been resolved through settlement outside court.

However, after the video published by Li Xuezhen, the search term “Su Bai lost the case” was very quickly pushed into a small trending topic.

Everyone also learned that Baijun Law Firm lawyer Su Bai had lost a case, only for a major reversal to follow.

He had indeed lost the case, but only because he encountered a wicked presiding judge, and Su Bai even sent this wicked presiding judge inside.

Was this chain of cause and effect impressive or not?

It absolutely had to be impressive!

For a while, Baijun Law Firm’s short-video account once again gained twenty thousand followers.

In the comment section, a large number of followers commented:

Good heavens, the law firm is fishing here, right? Who posted this video, actually saying that Lawyer Su lost a case, this is obviously slander, send them inside, send them all inside! 😠

Hahaha, the person above should look clearly at the account before cursing, this is Baijun Law Firm’s short-video account, who exactly are you sending inside here? Do you believe they will have Lawyer Su send you inside?

I do not believe it, I believe Lawyer Su would not bully ordinary people like us!

This is obviously just a joke, everyone is just having fun with it!

Among them, there was also one relatively conspicuous comment in the comment section.

I know of the presiding judge Lawyer Su sent inside, Qian Wei, right? If I remember correctly, he should be at the Nandu Dongcheng District Court, right?
I remember very clearly! At that time I also had a case, and it was also adjudicated by this Qian Wei, clearly it was a case that I should have won, and I provided such powerful evidence, but good heavens, the court did not adopt any of it!
The other side had prepared nothing at all, but the presiding judge did not ask the other side a single question, and kept questioning my side the whole time.
The final result was obvious, our side lost.
Only later did I learn that the other side had stuffed something in, brothers, push me to the top so that Lawyer Su can see this!
At the same time let everyone know that this Qian Wei is not a good person either, and that this is not the first or second time he has done this!

Good, for this sort of presiding judge who disregards legal restraint and makes random judgments without following the factual circumstances, he should be sent inside! Push it up!
Push push push!

Under the pushing of many people, this comment was very quickly sent to the top.

At the same time.

On the other side, after the judgment result came down.

Liu Jun and Qian Wei had been continuously rushing about matters relating to filing the second instance.

Originally, at the beginning, Liu Jun filed second-instance litigation on the ground that the sentencing was inappropriate.

But it was rejected.

Later, Liu Jun found new evidence and grounds for statement from another angle, and once again filed a request for appeal.

It was approved by the court.

The second-instance litigation was about to begin, and this time Liu Jun was once again conducting a defense of innocence.

After receiving the news, Guan Tong contacted Su Bai.

“Lawyer Su, this Qian Wei has again filed a second-instance litigation, and now the Provincial High Court has already prepared to continue hearing this case.”

“Lawyer Su, do you want to come over and observe it?”

Su Bai smiled and spoke: “Alright, give me an accurate time, when the hearing time arrives, I will certainly go over!”

“Oh right, has the court already begun evidentiary examination now?”

“Not yet.”

“Then alright, I have an important piece of evidence here that I want to submit to your prosecution side, please wait a moment, I will first send you the general content.”

“Important content? Alright!”

After approximately three minutes, Guan Tong received the new hearing evidence sent by Su Bai.

After more than ten minutes passed, once Guan Tong confirmed the content within the evidence, he immediately sent a laughing expression.

“Lawyer Su!”

“With this important evidence of yours, I guarantee that this time Qian Wei absolutely cannot escape, the determination will be final, and wanting to appeal again will no longer be possible!”

“Thank you Lawyer Su!”

“When the hearing time arrives, Lawyer Su must definitely come over.”

“Alright!”

After replying, Su Bai continued preparing the reporting and review materials to be submitted regarding Chen Meixia and Li Mu after the second-instance judgment of Qian Wei concluded.

Obstruction of justice.

However, this would need to wait until after Qian Wei’s second-instance judgment before submission.

Because submitting at that time point would be the most appropriate.
