Chapter 184: Sentence Me? I Will Continue to Appeal! Presiding Judge: ??

Wang Yuan’s outburst in the courtroom caused the atmosphere at the trial scene to become somewhat tense.

However…

As a judge of the Sudu Higher Court, Zhou Guangyu had encountered all kinds of courtroom scenes.

He had also seen quite a few instances like Wang Yuan’s, in which a party refused to submit to the court’s judgment.

Facing Wang Yuan’s words, Zhou Guangyu merely spoke indifferently:

“You have the right to initiate supervisory review.”

“This is a right conferred upon you by law.”

“However, shouting in court cannot affect the court’s judgment, and I ask that the party remain rational.”

After Zhou Guangyu finished speaking, he turned around and left the trial scene together with the other two members of the collegial panel.

Wang Yuan still wanted to say something more, but at this time she had already been restrained by the court police beside her.

They indicated that she could not continue to make loud disturbances.

Hoo…

Su Bai took a deep breath.

Xie Jingmei beside him had reddened eyes throughout.

Perhaps because she had seen the person who killed her daughter receive the punishment he deserved, a trace of relief appeared on her aged face.

Li Xuezhen stood beside Xie Jingmei and extended a tissue.

After approximately one minute.

Xie Jingmei’s emotions finally eased.

At this time, Wang Yuan’s parents Wang Manhua and Xu Li, seeing their daughter being taken away by the court police, were beside themselves with anxiety.

Then, looking at Xie Jingmei at the seat of the litigation party, the two prepared to go before Xie Jingmei and plead for leniency…

But before they could approach, they were stopped by the relevant law enforcement personnel.

This too was to prevent any unexpected situation from arising in the courtroom.

Xie Jingmei glanced indifferently at Wang Manhua and Xu Li, turned around, and acted as though she could not see the two of them at all.

Su Bai nodded slightly and looked toward Li Xuezhen.

“Organize the materials, we are leaving…”

“Oh.”

“Alright, Lawyer Su!”

Li Xuezhen nodded seriously and trotted in small steps to catch up with Su Bai.

Looking at the backs of Su Bai and Xie Jingmei as they departed.

Xu Li appeared especially anxious:

“What do we do now? Our good daughter has been sentenced! Four years!”

“Wang Manhua, hurry and think of a way!”

“If you cannot think of a way, then we are getting divorced!”

Wang Manhua placed his hand on his scalp and vigorously rubbed his hair.

“What way do I have?”

“Now that the judgment has already been made, is there any use in saying anything else?”

“Then can you not think of some other method?”

Hearing Xu Li’s words, Wang Manhua seemed to think of something, suddenly looked at Wei Hao, and asked:

“Oh right… Lawyer Wei, Lawyer Wei… why did we lose this trial…”

“Could it be that the other side and the Presiding Judge had some improper dealings?”

???

Improper dealings?

What improper dealings could there be?

As far as he knew, Su Bai was from Nandu, and the trial was heard in the Sudu Higher Court.

The members of the bench were senior leaders within the Higher Court.

Leaving aside whether there was any improper relationship.

Judging solely from the angle of this case.

Was a first instance judgment with obvious loopholes and the accusation against Wang Yuan for negligent crime worth causing a top criminal lawyer and a vice president of the court to engage in some improper dealing?

The other side directly placed the objective facts and evidence before the court, and any other adjudicator would have rendered the same judgment.

Was it necessary to use personal connections and worldly maneuvering to intentionally shape the judgment?

It was not necessary.

Wei Hao organized all of the litigation materials before him, placed them into his briefcase, and slowly spoke:

“I am not clear whether this trial involved any improper dealing, but judging from the term of sentence and the level of law applied, it was relatively reasonable, and there should not be any other conduct involved.”

No other conduct existed?

If no other conduct existed, how could their daughter possibly have been sentenced to four years of fixed term imprisonment?

There must definitely be something here that they did not know about.

Xu Li silently recited in her heart, and at the same time formed an unfavorable impression of Wei Hao.

He called himself a first class criminal lawyer of Sudu, and leaving aside that he lost the trial.

Now he was even saying that there was no other conduct involved.

In her view, it was simply that this lawyer’s level was inadequate.

This so called first class lawyer might not even be as good as the third rate lawyer she had met before.

At least that person had dared to guarantee victory in court, whereas the lawyer before her did not even dare to guarantee that.

Wei Hao could see Xu Li’s thoughts, but said nothing more.

In a case like today’s, it was indeed not easy to fight.

He also had not expected that Wang Yuan would be sentenced as heavily as four years of fixed term imprisonment.

But according to the courtroom argumentation content and other aspects, four years of fixed term imprisonment indeed did not count as excessively heavy.

As family members, Wang Manhua and Xu Li did not understand this, and only thought about their daughter, without considering other factors.

He had seen many situations in which they even believed he was inferior to a third rate lawyer.

Any explanation would be wasted, and they would understand once they hired a third rate lawyer to fight a case.

Had they ever seen a civil compensation case of two hundred thousand turn into criminal responsibility with a sentence of three years?

He truly had.

The two hundred thousand did not need to be paid anymore, so did that count as winning the case?

Equivalent to serving one year in prison, with food and lodging provided, and making a net gain of sixty thousand, was that it?

After organizing his litigation materials, Wei Hao left the courtroom directly.

Only then did Wu Manhua speak:

“Why did you say those things just now? Now you have angered this lawyer for no reason, what are we supposed to do afterward?”

“Afterward? We continue to appeal, continue to look for other lawyers, this lawyer is obviously not very capable!”

“I refuse to believe that we cannot find a good lawyer! Our Yuan’er absolutely cannot go to prison, if she goes to prison, this life will be ruined.”

“And also, this Xie Jingmei is too vicious, our Yuan was unwilling to appear in court to accuse him, and was that not because she was worried that Wu Guoxing would retaliate in the future?”

“And because of this, the other side actually directly sued our Yuan in court, this is too excessive!”

“That is somewhat true.”

Wang Manhua nodded slightly.

“Then can you find another good lawyer?”

“Do not worry, one of my close friends also knows a lawyer, there will not be any other problem.”

The husband and wife discussed how to continue the appeal or initiate supervisory review.

On the other side.

Wu Jianlei and Li Xin also felt at a loss when facing the judgment.

The span from eight years of fixed term imprisonment to life imprisonment was something they were completely unable to accept.

“Lawyer Ye… did you not say that there would not be any major problem in this trial? But now look at what has happened?”

“Life imprisonment!”

“It went directly from eight years to life imprisonment, Lawyer Ye, what are we supposed to do now?”

Facing Wu Jianlei’s questioning, Ye Hua rubbed his brow.

This trial was a second instance judgment, and there was no new evidence sufficient to overturn the judgment, and the sentencing was reasonable.

To attempt to submit for retrial was almost impossible, and the court was almost certainly not going to accept the case again.

What should be done?

To be honest, he also did not know what should be done…

Inside Baijun law Firm.

Xie Jingmei sat on the sofa, continuously thanking Su Bai.

“Lawyer Su…”

“Thank you… this time Wu Guoxing and that Wang Yuan were sentenced, and I must also thank Lawyer Su for helping with the courtroom defense.”

“If it had not been for Lawyer Su, I might not even have realized that Wang Yuan had also committed a crime…”

Su Bai smiled and nodded:

“This is all what I ought to do.”

As an entrusted lawyer, one certainly had to proceed from the client’s litigation requests.

What were the client’s litigation requests?

The litigation request was to send in all those who had committed crimes in the process that led to Fang Zhihui’s death.

Then, as the entrusted litigation agent, he naturally had to follow the client’s litigation requests.

As though recalling something, Su Bai suddenly asked:

“Wang Yuan’s family has not contacted you again, has it?”

“In court they stated that they wanted to initiate supervisory review and continue to appeal, and if they continue to appeal, they will certainly look for you to request forgiveness.”

Xie Jingmei smiled and spoke:

“Lawyer Su… regarding this, I am not very clear, because I blocked all of their contact information.”

“The other side probably cannot find me.”

“If the other side really appeals, then at that time the court will certainly notify me.”

“We can discuss it at that time, but in any event, I definitely will not forgive the other side.”

“Mm.”

Su Bai nodded.

However, after the court enforcement document came down, there was still one important matter to do.

That was that Wang Yuan had previously published improper remarks on a certain platform, which had caused harm to Xie Jingmei.

And there was also that group of Wang Yuan’s little fans.

That account needed to be deactivated.

After the court judgment document came down, Su Bai immediately applied to a certain platform to deactivate Wang Yuan’s platform account.

After the platform understood the course of events and saw the submitted evidence, it immediately deactivated Wang Yuan’s account.

After Wang Yuan entered the filing stage, she had even deliberately instructed her family to post online a message saying that she had some recent matters and would not update for a while.

Now that the account was suddenly deactivated, Wang Yuan’s group of fans also found it somewhat strange, and ran to a small group chat to begin discussing it.

What happened, what happened? Why was the account suddenly deactivated?

No idea, some time ago it still said that there were some matters, and it seemed she had gone out traveling, and would stop updating for a period, but I did not expect that now the account would be directly deactivated…

Look it up.

Alright, alright, alright…

Very quickly, Wang Yuan’s fans discovered the relevant matter and posted it into the small group chat.

Fans: ????

Wang Yuan caused the crime of negligent homicide and was sentenced to four years of fixed term imprisonment?

What is going on here, that harsh?

No idea! Wang Yuan was sentenced to four years of fixed term imprisonment, and as fans we have been supporting and discussing here every day, are we going to be pursued for responsibility?

What are we supposed to do now?

So and so has left the group chat.

????

Forget it, someone has already left the group chat, I am afraid, I am leaving too.

+1 +1 this group cannot be stayed in, everyone hurry and run.

It did not take long before more than one hundred people had already left the group from a group that had originally contained three to four hundred people.

There were still some others who simply had not seen the news yet, and every so often people continued to leave the group.

There were also media people undercover in Wang Yuan’s fan group, because during the earlier first instance trial this too had been a minor trending topic.

After seeing the relevant content in the fan group, the undercover media person checked online and found that Wang Yuan had indeed been sentenced to four years of fixed term imprisonment.

Thus…

The fact that Wang Yuan had been sentenced to four years of fixed term imprisonment also went onto a minor trending search.

The comment section unanimously applauded:

I remember that this case at the beginning seemed to criticize Wang Yuan for not appearing in court to testify, so how did Wang Yuan suddenly get sent in for four years as well?

I watched the live trial… it seems that because Lawyer Su collected the relevant evidence and submitted it to the prosecution, then this Wang Yuan was sentenced for negligent homicide.

Both the trial livestream site and the judgment document site contain the detailed process, and Wang Yuan being sentenced for negligent homicide to four years is really not excessive at all!

I watched it, I watched it!

It really is not excessive at all, this case could be said to have been completely avoidable, if Wang Yuan had not failed to call the police and had not failed to seek rescue, Fang Zhihui would not have come to harm, and there was a certain probability that she would not have died, and Wu Guoxing might not even have committed criminal conduct, he might just have smashed the door a bit and left.

What a pity!

From this angle, it does indeed fit.

I heard that in this case Wang Yuan’s parents still seem to be continuing the appeal, and Wang Yuan also refuses to submit to the judgment, can someone explain what the current progress looks like?

Has the appeal succeeded?

I am not clear, but judging from the present situation, the first instance judgment was very reasonable, but it is unknown on what grounds Wang Yuan would apply if she continues to appeal.

Alright then, when the appeal is really successful and the second instance trial is held, remember to notify me.

Regarding Fang Zhihui’s case, Wang Yuan being sent into prison stirred the memories of many people.

Quite a number of netizens were continuously paying attention to the progress.

At the same time, Wang Yuan’s parents were also actively proceeding with the appeal.

However, after contacting many lawyers, there was no progress at all.

Either they said that it could not be won, or they only accepted money and did not provide any guarantee.

Originally Wang Manhua already felt that there was no hope, but he received a call from Xu Li.

Xu Li’s voice was filled with joy and excitement.

“Manhua, I have found a powerful lawyer who says that he can guarantee victory, I have already spoken with this lawyer, and this lawyer is very knowledgeable, but we need to pay the lawyer’s fee first.”

“Alright, alright, alright!”

“Pay! As long as he is willing to accept the case and guarantees that our daughter can be released without guilt, paying even more lawyer’s fees would be worth it!”
