Lawyer's character

Li Tianjun was afraid that Zhou Bo's disappearance would be traced to him, so he cleverly wrote a letter, which probably meant that Zhou Bo had been kidnapped and asked the Zhou family to redeem him at the bridge for 100,000 yuan. In the middle of the night, Li Tianjun secretly slipped the letter under the iron gate of Zhou's house.

Early the next morning, the Zhou family frantically tried to raise money, and then went to the bridge to redeem the person, but they did not see the kidnappers. Just when the family was worried, news came from the village downstream of the river that Zhou Bo's body was found.

After learning about their son's death, Zhou's family immediately called the police. The police began to investigate, and after identification, the victim died of drowning.

After the incident, the police began to investigate the suspects. The first one they looked for was Li Tianjun, because he had had disputes with the Zhou family before and was detained for three days. The most important thing was the suspicion provided by the old man on duty at the school gate. The person's appearance is very similar to him, so Li Tianjun is the most suspicious.

After the police came in, without even asking a few questions, Li Tianjun's mentality collapsed and he was trembling all over.

This person is like this sometimes, he drinks and brags, punches nursing homes, kicks kindergartens, seven are dissatisfied and eight are angry, and when he is so hot-blooded that he can't hold him, he wants to fight to the death with the other person. But it was all over, and I immediately regretted it as soon as my mind cleared.

Li Tianjun's psychological quality was limited to playing tricks and quarreling with the villagers. He had a ghost in his heart. When the police came in, he couldn't bear it anymore and immediately fell asleep.

The public security organ accused Li Tianjun of intentional homicide and extortion and transferred the case to the procuratorate. Subsequently, the procuratorate transferred Li Tianjun's case to the Intermediate People's Court for public prosecution on the same charges.

"Did you really trick Zhou Bo out of school so that he could mediate the conflicts between your two families?" Fang Yi looked at Li Tianjun expressionlessly.

"Really, I really think so. Who knew he wouldn't listen to me and got so impatient! It's also my fault. I drank some wine at the time... Why did I think of looking for him?" Li Tianjun stared, with a look in his eyes. Showing regret.

"Then why don't you come directly to the house and talk to the Zhou family?" Fang Yi continued to ask.

"I didn't dare to go. The Zhou family is a big family in our village. There are many uncles and uncles, as well as many brothers. I was beaten by them before in the fields. Later, the police station thought that I was the one who made the move first and locked me up. Three days later, I even paid the other party's medical expenses. How dare I come to the door!" Li Tianjun said with a grimace on his face.

Fang Yi couldn't figure out whether what he said was true or false. Since the person involved said so, it could only be so if there was no other evidence.

After a hasty lunch at noon, Fang Yi lay in the car and squinted for a while. At 1:30 in the afternoon, he went to the Intermediate Court to mark his papers.

Two days later, in the conference room of Wanhua United Law Firm, Li Tianshui looked at Fang Yi with anxious eyes: "Lawyer Fang, how is my brother's case?"

"I went to the procuratorate once and talked to the prosecutor. Yesterday I went to the procuratorate again. What the prosecutor means is that if your brother can plead guilty and accept punishment in this case and has a good attitude towards pleading guilty, they can consider it. It is recommended that the court impose a suspended death sentence. But if you don’t plead guilty..." Fang Yi looked at Li Tianshui mid-sentence.

"What do you think, would this case be successful if it were taken the normal way?" Li Tianshui's heart suddenly tightened. He didn't know if the prosecutor would really recommend a suspended death penalty or a lighter punishment if his brother confessed.

"I think your brother's crime of intentional homicide does not constitute the crime of extortion. The crime is also completed. I'm afraid... the situation is not optimistic. There is a high probability that your brother will be sentenced to death. Whether the death penalty will be suspended or the death penalty will be executed immediately depends on Look at the court proceedings.

Have you considered continuing the commission? "To be honest, Fang Yi feels that no matter how he defends this case, it will only change the charges, and the result will not change much.

"Well, Lawyer Fang, you have done a lot of work, thank you. The commission will not be cancelled. I hope you can help my brother and save his life." Li Tianshui thought for a while.

At this moment, Li Tianshui had no choice. Even if he terminated the commission, he would only save the next 100,000 yuan. The first 50,000 yuan could not be refunded. More importantly, he could not find a more suitable lawyer. Moreover, the prosecutor has already said that in this case, the dead child will be relieved of farting, so he can give it a try.

"Don't worry, I will communicate with your brother about the defense plan. I will defend according to the crime of intentional homicide. I hope there will be a good result." Fang Yi nodded.

Fang Yi had no idea whether Li Tianjun, the defendant in this case, could receive a suspended death sentence, so he could only do his best to obey fate.

In the detention center, Li Tianjun looked at Fang Yi with wide eyes: "What! Are you asking me to plead guilty and accept punishment?"

"Yes, I have read the case file and communicated with the procuratorate about the case. If you plead guilty and accept punishment, you might still have a chance." Fang Yi said truthfully.

"But, I didn't mean to kill Zhou Bo. I made a mistake. Besides, I didn't kill him, he drowned." Li Tianjun argued with his eyes wide open.

"You didn't kill the victim. Why did you strangle the victim's neck with your arms and beat him to death after the argument? And when the victim didn't resist, why didn't you save him and instead threw him to the river and hid him? ?" Fang Yi asked forcefully.

"I..." Li Tianjun was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

"Did you think the victim was dead at the time and were afraid that the police would catch you, so you hid the victim in the grass by the river?" Fang Yi continued to ask.

"Yes, I saw that he was motionless. I was afraid of being discovered, so..." Li Tianjun was a little confused, his mind was already in a mess, and he said without thinking.

"Think carefully about what I just told you. Your life is your own. Even if you plead guilty and accept punishment, it still depends on your luck." Fang Yi took a long breath and said softly.

Li Tianjun nodded and said nothing. His eyes were empty.

Half a month later, Li Tianjun's case came to court.

In the auditorium, Li Tianshui and Li Tianjun's daughter-in-law looked nervously at the back of Li Tianjun, who was sitting in the defendant's box. The prosecutor is reading the indictment sonorously and forcefully.

"... When Li Tianjun had a dispute with the victim Zhou Bo, he deliberately strangled the victim's neck and covered the victim's mouth with his hand, causing the victim to become unconscious. Then he dumped the victim in the grass by the river, eventually causing the victim Zhou Bo to drown. Death constitutes intentional homicide.

After killing the victim, Li Tianjun wrote a blackmail letter, and the act of extorting money constituted the crime of extortion.

This court believes that defendant Li Tianjun’s behavior violated Articles 232 and 274 of the Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China. The criminal facts are clear and the evidence is reliable and sufficient. He should be charged with intentional homicide and extortion. hold him criminally responsible.

The defendant Li Tianjun pleads guilty and accepts punishment. According to the provisions of Article 15 of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, he can be treated leniently. According to the provisions of Article 176 of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, if a public prosecution is instituted, please be sentenced in accordance with the law.

Presiding Judge, the indictment has been read out. "The prosecutor had a frozen face, and when the indictment was read out, Fang Yi across from him could feel chills.
