You became a lawyer and sent the judge in? - Chapter 508
c505 Uphold the original verdict? Aren’t you afraid that Su Bai will send us in?
There must be some inside story about the circumstances involved in this case.
It’s just that these inside stories…may only be known to the people involved.
In this case, it is necessary to meet the person involved.
In order to understand the specific circumstances of this case as soon as possible.
Su Bai and Li Xuezhen rushed to Hui City after signing the entrustment agreement with the client’s wife.
Because this case involves public officials, it was heard by the Hui City Intermediate Court.
The person involved is currently in the detention center in Nanshui District, Hui City.
After Su Bai submitted his lawyer’s practicing certificate to the staff and showed that he was the attorney appointed by the client Zhang Hongtao.
I waited for two hours following the relevant procedures.
I saw Zhang Hongtao in the summons room.
Zhang Hongtao looks young, probably in his early thirties from his appearance.
He is thin and wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
After seeing Su Bai, Zhang Hongtao showed a smile on his face.
He took the initiative to reach out and say hello to Su Bai:
“Hello, Lawyer Su.”
“I am your client, Zhang Hongtao.”
Judging from Zhang Hongtao’s proactive statement, it does not look like he was sentenced to six months in prison due to an unfair verdict.
According to common sense, most people will feel very resentful after being wrongly accused and sentenced to six months in prison.
But Zhang Hongtao’s mentality was very good, and Su Bai didn’t see any resentment in him.
From this point of view, Zhang Hongtao seems not to be too surprised by what happened to him.
Su Bai smiled and nodded in response: “Hello, I am your client, Su Bai from Bai Jun Law Firm.”
Zhang Hongtao said: “Well! I know you, Lawyer Su. I often see you, Lawyer Su, from live broadcasts of court hearings on the Internet.”
“Originally… I just asked my wife to find Bai Jun Law Firm to fight my second instance lawsuit. I had certain expectations in my heart. It was you, Lawyer Su, who entrusted me with this case.”
“I didn’t expect…it was really you, Lawyer Su, who entrusted me with this case in the end!”
“Lawyer Su is here, and I feel relieved about this lawsuit!”
When Zhang Hongtao said these words, his expression became obviously much more relaxed and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Originally, in this case, Zhang Hongtao asked Bai Jun Law Firm to entrust the case by name.
Su Bai was a little curious. Now that he heard what Zhang Hongtao said, his curiosity became even more serious, so he asked:
“Mr. Zhang, although you are a judge in civil cases, you should know something about criminal cases and criminal penalties.”
“Based on the penalty book published on the referee’s website and the overall process of this case, you should also know in your heart that you are not committing a violation of the law.”
“In the process of our communication with your wife, we don’t know much about the situation. I would like to ask Mr. Zhang if there is any in-depth inside story about this case?”
Hearing this question, Zhang Hongtao nodded heavily:
“There is an inside story in this case.”
“Lawyer Su, you should also know the detailed process of this case, including the files and so on.”
“It can be seen that when I made the penalty in the court trial, there was no violation of the law at all.”
“The content of the judgment is also in full compliance with legal procedures and legal definitions.”
“To say that I was unfair to the referee is a complete distortion of the facts.”
“This case is actually because the defendant has a certain background relationship, and under layers of pressure, I was made into a pervert judge.”
“To be honest, if I was sentenced to six months in prison, if I really violated the law, I would have absolutely nothing to say in this sentence.”
“However, it is very reluctant to say that I violated the law.”
“I also know that the verdict of the first instance was wrong. I also argued vigorously at the trial, but my statement could not affect the verdict of the first instance at all, because the high court in the first instance put pressure on the Intermediate Court, and the Intermediate Court had no choice but to do so. This case is being tried.”
“I also know some of the middle-level leaders of the Intermediate Court. The presiding judge who sentenced me made it very clear, meaning that there was someone behind the scenes who wanted me to learn a lesson.”
“I am also aware of this, so although I am not convinced by the verdict of the first instance, I know in my heart that even if I am not convinced by the verdict, it will have no effect.”
“I’m more concerned about the second trial.”
“In this case, the High Court exerted pressure on the Intermediate Court. If I continue to appeal to the second instance, then the High Court will definitely hear the case. By then, if there are no other unexpected circumstances, the High Court will most likely uphold the original judgment of the first instance.”
“The reason why I asked my wife to find Bai Jun Law Firm is because I know that there is an inside story in this case. If the judgment is based on the current situation, I will definitely still be sentenced to six months in prison.”
“Bai Jun Law Firm is relatively well-known online. Lawyer Su, you have handled many difficult and major cases, and you have very rich experience in handling them.”
“Based on your online popularity, Lawyer Su, the High Court will also consider your influence, and the probability of winning the case will be much higher.”
“So…I asked my wife to go to Bai Jun Law Firm to entrust me with this case.”
“….”
To put it bluntly, what Zhang Hongtao means is that there is indeed some inside story to this case.
He knew very well in his heart that if he followed the normal process and followed the formal procedures.
The result is that it is impossible for him to overturn the verdict.
As a judge, he also knows very well the process of the trial and the room for maneuver during the trial.
I found Bai Jun Law Firm, firstly because of Baijun Law Firm’s reputation, and secondly because of Su Bai’s professional knowledge.
There is also a third point, which is the most critical point, that is, Su Bai has a relatively large influence in the legal circle and on the Internet.
Entrusting him with this case… will at least allow the High Court to consider what the consequences will be if a proper verdict is not carried out.
After hearing Zhang Hongtao’s explanation, Su Bai nodded. Zhang Hongtao’s explanation was very reasonable.
However, Su Bai still asked a question:
“Mr. Zhang, in this lawsuit you are judging.”
“Logically speaking, many presiding judges will not award additional compensation.”
“Because this is within a condition of compliance and non-compliance.”
“Based on the content of the statements in the dossier, it appears that you are clearly biased towards the plaintiff’s point of view.”
“This point… I would like to ask Mr. Zhang whether this point stated in the file is correct.”
“After all… this point occupies a crucial position in the judgment of your first instance court.”
Zhang Hongtao was silent for a few seconds on this question, then looked up at Su Bai:
“Lawyer Su…”
“My preference is towards the plaintiff, because after all, the faulty party is on the defendant’s side, and the defendant has defaulted on the plaintiff’s debt and will not compensate it.”
“Nowadays, it is advocated not to default on wages or arrears. The plaintiff’s family conditions are not good, so I came up with this idea.”
“At the same time, I also used legal provisions to help the plaintiff. Everything I did was biased, but it was within the scope of the principles of the law, and I did not impose penalties outside the scope of the principles of the law.”
“Lawyer Su, I admit that I have a certain tendency to ask this question.”
Regarding Zhang Hongtao’s direct admission of this point, Su Bai didn’t say much, he just wanted an answer.
The case tried by Zhang Hongtao did not have any major problems, and the plaintiff’s family was indeed in some difficulty, and the terms owed by the defendant were not worth mentioning to the family.
I don’t want to pay back the money…just because I don’t want to pay back the money.
Su Bai said: “Okay Mr. Zhang, we have learned everything we need to know today.”
“I will submit a second-instance lawsuit to the provincial court in the future.”
“This case… the final verdict is to overturn the first-instance judgment, so there should be no problem.”
Zhang Hongtao smiled: “I believe in Bai Jun Law Firm, and I also believe in Lawyer Su.”
“It’s just…Lawyer Su.”
“This time the defendant has a somewhat large background and can directly put pressure on the High Court.”
“This case is still somewhat difficult. I really owe it to Lawyer Su for your hard work. Sorry for your trouble.”
“It should.”
Su Bai smiled and nodded.
Some time has passed since Zhang Hongtao’s first trial, and it was several months ago that he himself was investigated.
So the outcome of the crop seed case may not be known.
If he knew, Zhang Hongtao should know that Su Bai’s influence could even affect Wang Jianshu.
Not to mention the current situation.
Walked out of the summons room and came outside the detention center.
On the side, Li Xuezhen said: “Lawyer Su, the situation of this case is now generally clear.”
“Should our next step be to appeal directly to the High Court and deal with the issue of the wrong judgment of the first instance of the client Zhang Hongtao first?”
Su Bai smiled and nodded: “Yes!”
“At present, we will sort out the core issues of this case and file a second instance appeal with the Provincial High Court.”
This case was decided by the Provincial High Court and the Municipal Intermediate Court.
Su Bai was curious about how the Provincial High Court would handle the case if it went to the Provincial High Court for trial.
Should he bite the bullet and continue to convict Zhang Hongtao, or should he be found not guilty based on the facts.
Soon, Su Bai compiled the materials and filed a second-instance lawsuit with the Provincial High Court.
at the same time.
In the Provincial High Court, a vice president was drinking tea in his office.
There was a knock on the door.
“Come in.”
Guan Yuandong took a sip of tea without raising his head and spoke.
Someone pushed open the door and entered. Guan Yuandong glanced at it. It was Xiao Shan, the president of the first court of the criminal court.
Guan Yuandong was the deputy dean who was mainly in charge of criminal matters. When he saw Xiao Shan, he said without raising his head:
“What’s wrong? What’s the matter?”
Xiao Shan hesitated for a few seconds and then spoke: “Our First Criminal Court has encountered a rather troublesome criminal case.”
“I would like to ask Dean Guan for instructions here.”
“Um?”
Guan Yuandong raised his head: “General criminal cases can be handled by your own court.”
“Isn’t it enough to go to the Criminal Committee for major criminal cases?”
“There’s no need to ask me specifically. Why, is this case a bit difficult?”
Xiao Shan laughed dryly: “It’s a little tricky.”
“However…the thorny factor still lies in the identity of the appellant.”
“What is the identity of the appellant? Tell us.”
Facing Guan Yuandong’s questions, Xiao Shan directly told everything.
“That’s right, Dean Guan.”
“This appellant is the Zhang Hongtao whom we greeted the Intermediate Court before.”
“He proposed to appeal to the second instance and overturn the judgment of the first instance.”
“….”
Guan Yuandong waved his hand to interrupt Xiao Shan:
“Isn’t this Zhang Hongtao easy to handle?”
“Whatever the first instance will decide, our High Court will decide in the second instance. Is there anything else we need to consider?”
“You don’t have to ask me about this, right?”
Guan Yuandong adjusted his glasses, with a hint of displeasure in his voice, and expressed dissatisfaction with Xiao Shan.
If you come and ask him about something like this, how can he be so busy every day?
He had already mentioned this matter to Xiao Shan before. If Zhang Hongtao files a second instance, he can go to the Provincial High Court to uphold the first instance verdict.
Now Xiao Shan came to ask him again, which made Guan Yuandong feel dissatisfied.
Xiao Shan also clearly noticed Guan Yuandong’s dissatisfaction, so he quickly explained:
“It’s such a care director, that’s not what I want to say.”
“What I want to say is that the lawyer Zhang Hongtao hired is somewhat special.”
“The entrusted lawyer he hired is Su Bai, the founder of Baijun Law Firm, which is well-known on the Internet.”
“This Su Bai has a profound influence on the self-media platform.”
“There are over 10 million fans on the Internet, and we have dealt with many unjust, false and wrong cases and experienced many major cases.”
“The previous case of self-defense was promoted by Su Bai at the Beidu High Court.”
“Some time ago, this Su Bai handled a very big case in Southern Province. That case was very influential. I heard that many court personnel were dismissed from their official positions, which had a great impact.”
“This Su Bai also serves as the All-China Lawyers Association and has a certain image relationship. In short, he has a great background and his status in the legal circle is relatively high.”
“Now that Su Bai is the attorney entrusting Zhang Hongtao in this case, I am worried that if we uphold the original verdict based on the penalty results of the first instance, it will have a great negative impact.”
“By then… we may be in trouble.”
“Dean Guan, we still need to think carefully about this matter.”
“Upholding the original verdict is a huge risk!”
Xiao Shan introduced all the events and Su Bai’s background in detail.
The main purpose is to persuade Guan Yuandong to change his mind and not to uphold the original judgment of the first instance.
After all…if the original verdict of the first instance is upheld, it will easily overturn.
What will they do if the car overturns?
It’s difficult!
After listening to Xiao Shan’s statement, Guan Yuandong frowned slightly.
He knew something about Su Bai, but his understanding was not deep.
After all, there are so many well-known lawyers in the country and big shots in the industry.
No one can recognize everyone.
Only through contact can we have a deep understanding of the other party’s background.
Guan Yuandong did not listen to Xiao Shan’s continued talk. Instead, he opened his mobile phone and entered the two keywords Bai Jun Law Firm and Su Bai.
Looking at the content, the first thing that catches the eye is——
“Top well-known lawyer in the country, criminal lawyer representative of the All-China Lawyers Association, deputy director of the Nandu Bar Association Committee, founder of Nandu Red Circle Baijun Law Firm”
What follows are some representative cases, which are listed in great detail.
When seeing these representative cases, Guan Yuandong looked extremely serious.
This Su Bai’s lawsuits are more serious than the last.
If this case is really true, the original judgment of the first instance will be upheld.
To be honest… Guan Yuandong is also worried that some other problems will arise.
But.…
But in this case, if the original verdict of the first instance was not upheld, he had previously told the court of first instance that it would be best to impose a certain sentence.
Now that the High Court has rejected the original judgment of first instance, isn’t this a slap in the face?
Another point is that the pressure from the provincial representatives is too great.
If the first-instance judgment is not upheld, the pressure will still fall on him.
Thinking of this, Guan Yuandong fell into a dilemma.
