Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 402 - 377: The Trial Begins! Gu Chen and Zhang Wei Take Action Together!

Chapter 402: Chapter 377: The Trial Begins! Gu Chen and Zhang Wei Take Action Together!

Zhang Wei laughed: "You’ve got more to learn. Take your time, I have another case tomorrow."

Zhang Fei was also aware of the case, "Master, I know about this case. Li Xiaoxin hit Wang Yimeng while driving and refused to take any responsibility afterward. The online buzz is still quite high. Li Xiaoxin ran a red light but is now slandering Wang Yimeng for running the red light. Wang Yimeng is dead now, and the matter is quite serious. This case will be tough to fight."

"No matter how this case goes, Li Xiaoxin will have to bear legal responsibility. She hit someone and ran a red light; there’s no avoiding full liability. The responsibility is significant. I’ve also studied the relevant laws: at most, she could face up to three years in prison. If she can get the victim’s family’s forgiveness and compensate them a million or two, combined with a good attitude of admitting guilt, maybe a suspended sentence could be arranged... After all, it’s not intentional murder, so there shouldn’t be a big problem."

Zhang Fei talked freely with him.

Zhang Wei just smiled, shaking his head.

Obviously, Zhang Fei didn’t understand many of the details in this case.

Zhang Wei recorded everything from start to finish...

All the words Li Xiaoxin said to him, including her motives, and the choice to report it two hours after the accident. He collected all this as evidence.

Li Xiaoxin even said herself that she hoped Wang Yimeng would die, so she wouldn’t have to pay so much money.

After all, if the injured person remains alive, they’ll always be in the hospital demanding money, wanting all sorts of money.

But if the person dies, a one-time fee settles it.

Zhang Fei felt enormous pressure.

This case is clearly much more complicated than Zhao Sisi’s case.

In Zhao Sisi’s case, the evidence for the first trial was almost complete. He defended in the second trial, and easily achieved Zhao Sisi’s demands.

But this case, it’s hard to achieve the client’s demands.

Zhang Fei said: "It’s too difficult. If the case were mine, I wouldn’t know what to do. Master, do you have any better ideas?"

Zhang Wei said: "Just watch how I handle this case. It’s still quite manageable."

Zhang Fei said: "Master, what are the client’s demands? Let me see if I can offer some suggestions?"

Zhang Wei replied: "The client’s demands are simple. The client does not want to compensate or go to jail. They can only accept compensation under hundred thousand, and jail time only within one or two months. A suspended sentence would be better because a suspended sentence means no jail time..."

Upon hearing the client’s demands from the master.

Zhang Fei felt even more troubled.

These client demands aren’t ordinary at all.

Accepting compensation only under hundred thousand...

Not wanting jail time either...

But Li Xiaoxin did run a red light and hit a person...

How is it possible not to compensate?

Even if Li Xiaoxin weren’t fully responsible, she’d need to bear 10% of humanitarian compensation, which is still a considerable amount.

Moreover, it is indeed full liability for Li Xiaoxin...

Even if there’s insurance, it covers only a part.

Li Xiaoxin herself is definitely expected to provide some money.

If Li Xiaoxin doesn’t spend a penny, how can the victim’s family forgive her?

To get the victim’s family forgiveness, frankly speaking, it’s about the money.

If the money isn’t right, everything is off the table.

How to achieve the client’s demands?

Not wanting jail time and not wanting to pay...

No way out!

Unless the person wasn’t hit by Li Xiaoxin.

But that’s evidently impossible; there are eyewitnesses and material evidence, Li Xiaoxin can’t escape.

Zhang Fei felt troubled.

He thought it over...

Zhang Fei asked: "Master, did the client say, as long as the demand isn’t met, they’re okay with anything else? If that’s the case, it’s manageable — if there’s no payment and no jail time... then it’s the death penalty."

Zhang Fei didn’t think the death penalty was a particularly frightening thing.

After all, this is meeting the client’s demands.

No need to bother about anything else, just ask if the client’s demands are met?

No payment, no jail time... indeed, the death penalty fulfills that.

Does the death penalty require jail time?

In this world, the death penalty entails at most one or two months of jail time.

Doesn’t this perfectly achieve the client’s demands?

He’s also completing tasks for the client.

If the client doesn’t want the death penalty, they could totally say it upfront.

If the client doesn’t say so, it’s an implicit agreement.

As a lawyer, you must do whatever it takes to help fulfill the client’s demands.

The client’s demand comes first.

As long as the client’s demands are achieved, it doesn’t matter how it’s done.

Zhang Wei chuckled, "You and I think alike. For this case, just watch how I operate tomorrow. I’ll definitely fulfill Li Xiaoxin’s demands."

Zhang Fei nodded, preparing to learn tomorrow.

He was forced to come up with this backup plan.

Otherwise, how to fulfill the client’s demands?

You ran a red light and hit someone, and now you don’t want to pay or serve jail time...

Where is such a good thing?

You will definitely bear responsibility...

They are already trying their best to fulfill the client’s demands, and these are the demands stated by the client personally: just fulfill the demands at any cost.

Who let the client propose such demands first?

No way around it!

Killing someone, but not wanting to compensate or go to jail...

Which lawyer could take such a case?

Why doesn’t this client say they want to pluck a star from the sky?

They have no solution either.

Zhang Wei can only help the client fulfill the expected demands within his capabilities.

...

Quickly, after wrapping up with the Zhao Sisi case.

Netizens shifted even more attention to Li Xiaoxin’s case.

The current known circumstances are very simple.

Li Xiaoxin drove and killed someone.

Plus, Li Xiaoxin ran a red light and turned around to defame the victim, Wang Yimeng, for running the red light.

The most critical part....

The time Wang Yimeng was struck was exactly at 7:06 PM.

The police and ambulance didn’t arrive until after 9 PM...

Two hours had already passed.

As for the reason, everything is unknown.

Netizens unanimously stood on Wang Yimeng’s side.

[The case is going to court tomorrow...]

[Come on, Lawyer Gu, you must ensure Li Xiaoxin goes to jail.]

[Why? What happened? Didn’t Wang Yimeng get hit at 7:06 PM? Why didn’t the police and ambulance arrive until after 9 PM? Didn’t anyone call?]

[Could it be that Li Xiaoxin was knocked unconscious too, lost consciousness, and didn’t know anything, that’s why she was out cold for two hours?]

[In a traffic accident, that’s a possibility.]

[Regardless, Li Xiaoxin must be sentenced! Li Xiaoxin must be sentenced! Driving through a red light and still being in the right? Slandering others for running the red light and still being in the right?]

[Damn it, Li Xiaoxin must be convicted!]

[But Li Xiaoxin has insurance...]

[What does insurance do? Hit and kill someone, jail must be served where it should be, whatever should happen should happen, insurance can’t go to jail for you.]

[But this Li Xiaoxin is truly nauseating.]

[No problem, tomorrow is steady, Lawyer Gu and Zhang Wei have stepped in, the two prominent lawyers are battling in court, conclusion: Li Xiaoxin is doomed.]

[Hahaha, already looking forward to tomorrow’s trial.]

Netizens posted a storm.

Many netizens hoped Li Xiaoxin would be sentenced to three years.

Driving and killing someone, as long as it’s not malicious murder or intentional homicide, basically means facing up to three years in jail.

Of course, hit-and-run and drunk-driving are exceptions.

Under normal traffic accidents, if one doesn’t flee and actively compensates, it’s roughly three years in jail.

There are lighter penalty circumstances, contingent on the party’s behavior.

This depends on how the court assigns responsibility...

Of course, if the consequences are more severe or there are enormous property losses, the court may sentence more severely.

In a case like Li Xiaoxin’s, violating traffic regulations by running a red light, major accident causing death, makes it a traffic offense with up to three years.

During this period, if Li Xiaoxin cooperates effectively, willingly compensates, coupled with surrendering themselves and such circumstances, she will definitely be given a lighter punishment.

Netizens are all waiting for tomorrow’s court hearing.

Several netizens still don’t know the entire truth.

They only know it’s a traffic accident...

And know that Li Xiaoxin defamed Wang Yimeng for running the red light...

As for other things, they don’t know at all.

Li Xiaoxin’s one remark has also incited rage from netizens.

Does Wang Yimeng not have any faults?

Was she entirely wrong for running the red light?

[Finally, the trial is tomorrow, and it must start with three years!!]

[Wish they could sentence a bit more, damn it, why is the maximum penalty for running a red light and killing someone only three years? Can’t it be a bit more?]

[Don’t worry, Lawyer Gu and Zhang Wei are both stepping in, definitely more than three years!]
