The happy weekend is fleeting, and a new week is here.
After the incident in the video game city on Saturday, there was obviously something more between Su Momo and Long Xingchen, perhaps for Su Momo unilaterally, but for Long Xingchen, they only recovered a little of their relationship. Once, when Lang Xingchen was still alive, the two of them lived a little sweeter life than they are now.
Even so, Lang Xingchen was very satisfied, and she felt that even if there was only a trace of warmth between herself and Su Momo, she was partial to it.
She no longer belongs to this world, and most people can only bear the pain of eternal separation between Yin and Yang. Now this situation is much better than what Lang Xingchen expected at the beginning.
On Monday morning, Su Momo and the client appeared in court in a civil case. Under Su Momo's suggestion, the client chose to accept the mediation of the court and received compensation.
A case came to an end, which also added to Su Momo's performance. After lunch, a middle-aged couple walked into the law firm.
The intern Xiao Wu warmly greeted him, but the husband and wife looked around and saw Momo Su at the workstation.
Xiao Wu nodded and asked, "Have you made an appointment with lawyer Su in advance?"
The husband and wife shook their heads, and Xiao Wu continued: "May I ask which side of the lawsuit are you two, and I will recommend it to you."
"Criminal."
"One of the most senior lawyers in our law firm, lawyer Li Mingyi specializes in criminal proceedings. Would you like me to arrange an appointment for the two of you?"
Xiao Wu's rhetoric is the law firm's rules. After all, Li Mingyi is a gold lawyer, and the fees are higher, but this is not necessary. If the client has a lawyer who is willing to designate, he must follow the client's opinion.
The reason why Xiao Wu dared to say this in front of Su Momo is that, on the one hand, Su Momo's foundation is not deep, and on the other hand, he also received a beating hint from Li Mingyi that Su Momo was personally supported by the owner of the law firm, and he is in the limelight. It is normal for Li Mingyi to have a sense of crisis when he is so excited by Song Chengcheng.
The male host of the couple said, "No, we are here to find lawyer Su. If she doesn't have time, we can make an appointment first."
Xiao Wu sneered and replied, "I'll ask her to come here. You two should go to the office over there and wait."
The office Xiao Wu said was arranged by the boss of the law firm for Su Momo to receive clients.
In fact, Momo Su can go to work inside, but at the suggestion of Lang Xingchen, Momo Su still works at the workstation, and only uses that office when receiving clients. This behavior of Su Momo makes Li Mingyi somewhat I feel better, after all, a separate office is a symbol of a gold medal lawyer.
Su Momo entered the office with a voice recorder and a notepad. Several lawyers who were working in the lobby quietly raised their eyes to see Su Momo enter the office, and then looked at Li Mingyi's office before they retracted their gazes.
This scene was naturally watched by Lang Xingchen, she did not expect that the exclusion of Su Momo would come so quickly...
But as long as Lang Xingchen was there, she would never allow anyone to hurt Su Momo.
When the couple saw Su Momo, they both stood up, looked at each other, and the hostess extended her hand to Su Momo and said, "Hello, my name is Li Fengjuan, this is my husband Sun Fujie."
"Hello, uncle and aunt, my name is Su Momo."
"We know that we made a special trip to find you. We heard about you from the neighbors and thought you would definitely be able to help us."
Su Momo looked at Lang Xingchen, who was standing behind the couple, and when she met the latter's smiling eyes, she felt at ease.
Su Momo opened the record book, took out the voice recorder and said, "In order to organize the materials better, I want to record our conversation, is that possible?"
With the permission of the husband and wife, Su Momo opened the recorder. Sun Fujie took out a kraft paper bag and put it on the table, pushed it in front of Su Momo, and said, "this is my son's first-instance verdict, look at it."
Su Momo opened the kraft paper bag and looked at the verdict, and Li Fengjuan continued: "After the accident, my son also collapsed, and the lawyer refused to say anything. After the lawyer learned about the situation from us, he suggested that we advocate murder for love. The lawyer said that although there is no express provision in the law, the sentencing of the death penalty is very cautious, and if it is a love murder and other mitigating circumstances, the possibility of a suspended death sentence is very high."
Su Momo briefly browsed the case. The client, Sun Tingnan, and the victim, Zhao Xiaoli, used to be in a relationship, and they were engaged last year. The wedding was originally scheduled to be held on May 1st this year, but Zhao Xiaoli suddenly regretted the marriage at the beginning of this year, and she disappeared after that.
The Zhao family did not admit that they had received the so-called "100,000 yuan" betrothal gift from the Sun family, so they did not return it.
In April of this year, Sun Tingnan accidentally learned of Zhao Xiaoli's whereabouts. He came to Shanyang Central Hospital and found Zhao Xiaoli in the intensive care unit. He learned that Zhao Xiaoli was suffering from cancer and was in the advanced stage.
After several visits, Sun Tingnan felt resentment in his heart and took advantage of the opportunity for the two to be alone. He poured a large dose of sleeping pills prepared in the morning and bought through illegal channels into Zhao Xiaoli's mouth, which eventually led to Zhao Xiaoli's death.
After listening to the explanation of the client's mother, Su Momo thought that the lawyer did not get any favorable clues from Sun Tingnan's mouth, so he obtained running water from the bank to prove that the Sun family had indeed paid a dowry of 100,000 yuan, but the Zhao family did not return it. Based on the evidence, the Sun family has spread wedding invitations, explaining that Zhao Xiaoli has concealed her illness due to cancer, and her repentance behavior is true, which has had a certain impact on the Sun family's reputation, and Sun Tingnan's temperament has changed greatly since the repentance of marriage. , Suffering from mild bipolar disorder, but Sun Tingnan confessed to this, and bipolar disorder can affect a person's behavior and thinking, so Sun Tingnan's behavior has a milder circumstance, requesting the court to judge as appropriate.
In the end, the court weighed various parties and sentenced Sun Tingnan to death with a two-year suspension of execution.
Su Momo rubbed her brows. If there was only so much evidence, it would be fine for the court to give Sun Tingnan a reprieve.
Tears welled up in Li Fengjuan's eyes, and she said, "The doctor said that Zhao Xiaoli will not live for three months at most. Even so, will my son be sentenced so severely?"
"Auntie, no matter what the quality of the victim's life is, the right to life is a sacred and inviolable citizen's right, and others have no right to deprive it. So... there is no problem with the court's judgment, but Sun Tingnan has no criminal record before. Generally speaking, the death penalty is If there is no criminal act during the suspended sentence, the sentence will be commuted to life. If the life sentence is well-behaved during the sentence, he can be released from prison for at least 13 years.”
Li Fengjuan's tears flowed out, she immediately raised her hand to wipe it, and said, "The last defense lawyer told us the same thing. We both didn't understand the law and thought the reprieve was 13 years before we agreed. I have inquired, those who are indefinitely changed to a certain period of time are those who have access to their families. Thirteen years is just an ideal number. Generally, they will stay in it for twenty or thirty years, and some will not be released until they are sixty-five years old. , isn't my son's life completely over? Ting Nan is our youngest son, and he is 30 years old this year. If it is really 20 or 30 years old, we may not be alive when he comes out. "
Su Momo is a little embarrassed. Criminal cases are inherently less flexible than civil lawsuits. The evidence is in front of her eyes one by one. Under the framework of the existing evidence... She is not sure that she will win the second instance.
Long Xingchen, who had been listening quietly, said to Su Momo, "Let's go see Sun Tingnan. I think since Zhao Xiaoli has advanced cancer, there is no need for Sun Tingnan to do such a thing, even if he hates her very much, just watch her helplessly. It’s good to die from illness, why would you risk your own life for an enemy who has only a few days?”
Su Momo felt that what Lang Xingchen said was very reasonable. Su Momo asked Sun Tingnan's parents and said, "When is the second trial?"
"Two weeks to go."
Su Momo frowned and said, "Time is a little tight, uncle and auntie, let me tell you the truth... If there is so much evidence in this case, it will be difficult for me to win the second trial. If possible, I will Do you understand that you need to see your son before deciding whether to represent him or not?"
"Can be."
Su Momo took out a letter of attorney and said, "Uncle, please sign here. You may need a letter of attorney when you visit, so let's sign one first. I will not charge your fees for this case, and this letter of attorney will be invalid at that time."
"The girl is such a nice person, thank you."
Sun Fujie signed his name on the proxy and gave it to Su Momo. Su Momo also signed his name. After packing up, Su Momo said to the two, "Is the detention center far from here?"
"At the Chengnan Detention Center, it takes an hour to drive."
Su Momo looked at the time and said, "please aunt and uncle come with me, I want to see Sun Tingnan."
Sun Fujie said, "Okay."
Su Momo packed her things, turned off the computer, and the couple left the law firm together, took a car, and went straight to the detention center where Sun Tingnan was being held.
Lang Xingchen suddenly said to Su Momo: "After the first-instance verdict, Sun Tingnan appealed only after his mother was forced to die. Sun Tingnan himself doesn't seem to want to appeal. You have to be mentally prepared. I read their memories. , Sun Tingnan was very uncooperative with the last lawyer, hardly saying a word."
"I see... Maybe there is a secret to this matter."
Su Momo glanced at Lang Xingchen, her eyes full of reliance and trust, and continued, "I'm not afraid even if Sun Tingnan doesn't say anything. As long as there is a real secret to this case, I'll represent you."
Lang Xingchen smiled and replied, "I may not be able to help much in this matter. Sun Tingnan needs to speak up. Even if I see it with mind reading, the court will not accept it."
"It's good to have you here, I'll find a way to do the rest."
