Chapter 128 The verdict was announced!
"The court debate ends. According to Article 160 of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, the appellant is now making the final statement. Appellant Cao Yueshan makes the final statement." said the presiding judge.
"Dear collegial panel..." Cao Yueshan felt that his defense lawyer said better than the prosecutor. He didn't know which places he said were more advanced than the prosecutor. He only knew that Fang Yi said more than the prosecutor.
"Now the court is adjourned for ten minutes, and the verdict will be announced in court after the collegial panel is reviewed. Please ask the bailiff to take the defendant out of the court." With the fall of the gavel, the three judges withdrew from the court.
Fang Yi leaned on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief. The trial was finally over.
When the trial was just now, his head and the pen on his hand were not stopped, and he kept remembering the female prosecutor's speech and thinking about countermeasures. Now, as soon as he relaxed, he suddenly felt that his brain could not move and his body was exhausted.
When her stomach started to rumbling, Fang Yi looked at the time on her phone. It was already 1:50. She had been in the courtyard for nearly five hours and had no lunch.
Fang Yi stood up and prepared to stretch his muscles and bones. At this time, Qian Linlin walked over quickly.
"Lawyer Fang, thank you for your hard work! Do you think there is a chance of winning this case?" Qian Linlin asked anxiously with anticipation.
"It's hard to say now, but I think there are still opportunities. The judge will announce the verdict in court later, and I'm waiting." Fang Yi said.
How did Fang Yi accept this? After the trial was over, the judge was the final decision. The lawyer just did his best and now he can only do his best to leave his fate. However, Fang Yi is still a little confident.
At this time, Fang Yi showed calmness, which made Qian Linlin feel more at ease than what he said. Seeing Fang Yi say this, Qian Linlin thanked him again and returned to the audience waiting for the verdict.
While everyone was waiting anxiously, the clerk suddenly stood up and said, "Please stand up, please ask the presiding judge and the judge to enter the court."
As the collegial panel members took their seats, the presiding judge sounded the gavel: "Please sit down, continue the court now, and ask the bailiff to take Cao Yueshan to the court.
This case has been evaluated by the collegial panel. In view of the opinions of the prosecution and defense, combined with the focus of the dispute in this case, based on the facts and evidence of this case, this court analyzes the following:...
Appellant Cao Yueshan had fraudulent behavior when signing a contract with Lianda Company, but the new residential construction project of Honghai Company really exists and has a certain early investor. The deposit collected is mainly used to repay the debts formed by the project operation and the company's daily expenses. There is insufficient evidence to determine that the appellant's purpose of illegal possession.
This case proposed by Cao Yueshan and his defense lawyer is a civil dispute. The appeal reasons and defense opinions that the appellant does not constitute contract fraud are adopted by this court.
In accordance with the provisions of Article 195, Paragraph 1, Paragraph 3, Article 225, Paragraph 1, Paragraph 3, and Article 233 of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, Cao Yueshan is not guilty in accordance with the law."
After the verdict was read, Fang Yi felt relieved and smiled. It was really not easy to make 200,000 yuan!
Cao Yueshan was released in court, and Qian Linlin and relatives and friends surrounded him. Cao Yueshan held Fang Yi's hand: "Lawyer Fang, thank you!" His excited hands were trembling, and tears could be seen in his eyes.
"This is the result of joint efforts. This is not a place to speak. Go back and talk." Fang Yi smiled.
"Yes, let's go back and let it go a thousand times first to get rid of bad luck." Qian Linlin said excitedly.
Alas! Why no one suggested eating first? I was so hungry that I was touching my back! Fang Yi whispered.
Everyone left the court, calmed down, and started to yell about eating. Like Fang Yi, they were so hungry.
With so many people coming to help her, Qian Linlin naturally couldn't treat everyone badly. She hurriedly found a high-end restaurant in the city and called. After booking the table, the group went to the hotel in a mighty manner.
At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Qian Linlin sent Fang Yi back to the law firm. Before getting off the car, she repeatedly expressed her gratitude. She was so grateful that she was so grateful that she was so embarrassed that she made Fang Yi feel embarrassed.
Seeing Qian Linlin's car driving away and disappearing on the street, Fang Yi suddenly realized that there seemed to be something that had forgotten to say. Yes, when will the remaining 200,000 be given!
A week passed, and Fang Yi sent Qian Linlin a WeChat message asking about the later lawyer fees, but the other party did not reply. Because there was no agreement and the two parties were a gentleman agreement, Fang Yi was not good at forcing it, and only hoped that Qian Linlin and his wife could fulfill their promises.
Recently, Zhengyi Law Firm's business has been booming, and the legal aid cases were basically divided equally by Chu Huai and Zhao Zhongcheng. Sun Zhengyi, a case in the orthopedic department of the county hospital, handed over to Chu Huai. Although Chu Huai's business ability is average, his interpersonal relationships are very good. He quickly took on several cases. Although the target of the case is relatively small and the lawyer's fee cannot be charged a few dollars, he cannot eat meat. Finally, he has some soup, which is OK.
Fang Yi has been busy with his own cases recently. Sun Masayoshi assigned him fewer cases, and more so he was responsible for receiving legal consultation from the parties involved and consulting units. This way, there were fewer opportunities to sign a contract, but people couldn't stay idle, answering calls or going to the legal consulting units all day long.
On this day, Sister Lan asked Fang Yi to have dinner at Taiyueju, the most famous restaurant in the county after get off work. Fang Yi went there happily, thinking about how to mention Qian Linlin's subsequent lawyer fees to Sister Lan.
In the private room, there were only Sister Lan and Fang Yi. After ordering the dishes, Fang Yi felt that Sister Lan was hesitant and wanted to speak but stopped, and she had an ominous premonition in her heart.
"Brother, the person who asked you to come out this time was not me, but Qian Linlin and the other couple. But she felt that she had no shame to see you, so she entrusts me to discuss the subsequent lawyer fees with you." Sister Lan's face was a little unnatural. The decisive and experienced strong woman suddenly became so indecisive, which made Fang Yi even more sure of her guess.
"Sister Lan, does Ms. Qian feel that giving 200,000 lawyer fees is too much? It doesn't matter. If she thinks it's too much, she can make a number and discuss it." Although Fang Yi was unhappy, the matter was done, and the two sides had a gentleman's agreement. No matter how many there is, it's better than not. Perhaps this is the feeling of the goods going to the ground.
"Qian Linlin didn't mean that. Her family has been in trouble recently. I want to slow down and then pay the follow-up expenses." Sister Lan said.
"Are you in trouble? Could it be that Lianda Company sued his husband again?" Fang Yi thought for a while.
"It's more troublesome than this. Her husband borrowed a lot of money outside to do a new residential project. It was about 2 million yuan. Now the other party is here to ask for the account, but her family can't get the money. They sued her husband, and the company's account and personal account were all blocked.
Her car was also driven away and settled the bill. I was dissatisfied with you. Her house was about to be sold, and the couple has moved to Linlin's parents' house to live." Sister Lan said.
