Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 413 - 383: This Silly Girl... (Part 2)

Not every legal provision explains clearly how to judge in a case of infidelity, or how to rule when the woman is at fault.

The reality of situations remains very complex.

Especially when many aspects cannot be simply defined.

For instance, if a woman can have children... be a housewife, but has no income, how should property be divided at divorce?

Many matters cannot be broken down in detail.

Many divorce cases in reality are too complicated.

Thus, a judge has the discretion, as long as it’s within the scope of the law.

As a result, Sun Yuxuan encountered a female judge—Liu Ting.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ting’s judgment was harsher than the first trial.

The first trial only ruled the property to be divided equally, allowing the divorce.

But in the second trial, Liu Ting awarded all of Sun Yuxuan’s property to Wang Ru.

For Sun Yuxuan, the sky fell.

Sun Yuxuan was truly helpless.

He had done everything he could...

Ultimately, Sun Yuxuan didn’t retaliate against Wang Ru.

Infidelity is its own matter...

But judgments are separate affairs.

Sun Yuxuan found Liu Ting... and eventually did something very irrational.

Interestingly enough, at the end—

Sun Yuxuan had no money left, and couldn’t afford compensation to Liu Ting.

Why had he no money left?

This was Liu Ting’s judgment.

Normally, when harming others, one must pay for medical expenses.

Without money for compensation, the only option is serving time, and the judge would definitely enhance the sentencing.

If the compensation can be paid afterward, he might not have to serve for too long.

But this can’t be blamed on Sun Yuxuan.

Sun Yuxuan originally had money.

His own account contained over half a million.

This was Liu Ting’s judgment.

How did Liu Ting rule at the time?

Was this case truly judged reasonably?

Despite having discretionary power, could Liu Ting really make such a ruling?

Finally, Sun Yuxuan was sentenced to life imprisonment...

Because he had no money, Sun Yuxuan’s mother wanted to help find a lawyer... but no lawyer was willing to take the case.

For one thing, the case was indeed hard to defend.

Sun Yuxuan did injure someone... breaking legs and leaving evidence, how could one defend?

At most, just argue for reduced sentencing...

On the other hand, Sun Yuxuan’s mom was without funds.

How do you find a lawyer with no money?

Which lawyer would want to take the case?

Many lawyers remain quite practical, unlikely to work for free.

Only through legal aid might a lawyer step in to help fight the case.

But in such situations, those who understand, understand.

Legal aid belongs to legal aid... 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

It’s very different from personally hiring a lawyer, there’s a significant disparity.

...

Gu Chen thought and said, "This case is hard to battle, I can help defend, but I can’t ensure success in defense. Sun Yuxuan was sentenced to life imprisonment, I can only argue for reduced sentencing, not a full acquittal."

Gu Chen knows that for this case, only reduced sentencing can be pursued.

He was willing to take on the case.

Because... the court’s initial sentence for Sun Yuxuan was indeed too severe.

Injuring others causing serious harm, this generally results in more than ten years’ imprisonment, life imprisonment, or a death sentence.

But serious harm depends on the degree...

For instance, how severe is the injury? What level? Can subsequent treatment heal it well? Will there be aftereffects?

The final judgment still depends on the victim’s situation, the defendant’s remorse, compensation... and the cause of the incident, among other aspects to determine compensation.

One should also consider the cruelty of the means and the consequences of the crime, to finally sentence.

Injuring someone leading to injury, once identified as serious harm, would at least start with three years.

Permanent disability such severe consequences, might be ten years or more.

For Sun Yuxuan, life imprisonment was given...

This is really the maximum punishment.

Causing serious injury typically doesn’t call for the death penalty.

The sentence for Sun Yuxuan was really too harsh....

Huang Tian said, "Lawyer Gu, just if you can step in to help defend, it’ll be good. As long as you can reduce my son’s sentence, no matter how long it is.... No matter how much the lawyer’s fee, I can write an IOU."

Actually now if Gu Chen takes on the case, the lawyer fees are very high.

Otherwise, too many would seek Gu Chen to take their cases.

But Sun Yuxuan’s situation is indeed very special.

Gu Chen said, "For this case, I’ll only take 2,000 bucks, the company’s hosting an event now, 2,000 bucks is enough for me to handle the case."

Gu Chen can’t take cases without charge.

He may take cases for free but he couldn’t let Xue Qingqing follow him and suffer day after day, right?

Every time he took a case, it was Xue Qingqing who ran back and forth.

The 2,000 bucks is considered travel expenses.

Gu Chen basically isn’t charging....

Upon hearing, Huang Tian’s eyes reddened, she knelt in front of Gu Chen.

She knew how high Gu Chen’s lawsuit fees were for a case?

She knew, Lawyer Gu only charged 2,000 bucks, meaning that he was taking her son’s case for free....

Gu Chen said, "Don’t kneel, the company is having an event, stand up, tell me everything once again, and I’ll take the case. Qingqing, prepare a contract."

Beside, Xue Qingqing blinked.

This is why she likes her boss.

Boss... is indeed a kind person.

The boss is already the boss of the company, he doesn’t need to take any cases.

Yet the boss keeps taking cases one after another.

If... in previous cases, Gu Chen has stood on the side of justice, assisting the weaker side in defense.

But for this case, it is completely different.

Gu Chen essentially stands on the opposite side...

Because Sun Yuxuan did indeed break Liu Ting’s legs, undoubtedly resulting in a sentence.

But the boss still takes the case.

Only because of three words...

Unfairness!

Xue Qingqing knows too, for this case... it is unfair to Sun Yuxuan!

Why did Sun Yuxuan break Liu Ting’s legs?

Frankly speaking... wasn’t it because of Liu Ting’s ultimate ruling?

The boomerang ultimately landed on Liu Ting.

Sun Yuxuan clearly did nothing wrong, wanted a divorce, but all his property, pre-marital and post-marital, was awarded to Wang Ru.

And this was a second trial judgment.

Sun Yuxuan was truly helpless!

He was extremely desperate.

He could only make this decision.

Xue Qingqing follows Gu Chen, likes him precisely because...

Gu Chen often takes cases simply for fairness!

Sun Yuxuan wasn’t wrong!

He wanted a divorce, he couldn’t get a penny.

In the end, even Sun Yuxuan’s father’s departure from this world due to lack of surgical fees.

In this circumstance, what would Sun Yuxuan do?

There is at least Sun Yuxuan’s mother....

If Sun Yuxuan had no mother, and his father left due to this matter.

Then what would Sun Yuxuan do, it might not just be breaking her legs.

What would Sun Yuxuan do to Liu Ting?

No one knows.

The boss decides to defend this case, charging only two thousand bucks.

And to note, how long has the boss been without rest?

Zhao Sisi’s case just concluded, immediately followed by Li Xiaoxin’s case.

And now it turned to Sun Yuxuan’s case...

Xue Qingqing felt a bit distressed.

Clearly the boss could rest at the company.

So many lawyers at the company, Gu Chen was the boss, no need to personally step in?

But in fact, Gu Chen stands on the frontline each time.

Just because Gu Chen once said...

He is a lawyer.

No matter when, he remains a lawyer.

Even as a boss, even while able to earn plenty, he never forgets his original intent...

He still stands at the frontline, to play his role properly...

Gu Chen does what he ought to do.

Xue Qingqing felt warmth in her heart.

She re-drew the contract, and handed it to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen signed the contract with Sun Yuxuan’s mother.

This signaled Gu Chen formally taking over the case.

After sending off Sun Yuxuan’s mother...

Xue Qingqing looked at Gu Chen and said, "Boss, please rest for one day, I’m worried seeing you continuously taking cases."

Gu Chen rubbed Xue Qingqing’s head, smiled, "You take a day off, I’ll get someone else to assist me. You girls can’t handle such intense work, rest well."

Xue Qingqing stood up, sorted Gu Chen’s collar, said, "Boss, I’m with you, no matter what case you take, I’ll accompany you, I can do it, don’t regard me as a delicate girl. Boss works hard on cases, I can’t fall behind."

Seeing Xue Qingqing insist on accompanying him in taking cases.

Gu Chen shook his head, helplessly.

This silly girl...

Her family is already wealthy, yet she sticks by him without hesitation.
