Lawyer's character

"Is my uncle Huang's case in the public security department or the procuratorate?" Du Yong asked without answering directly.

"It's at the Procuratorate. It was just sent over yesterday."

"In this case, I will make an appointment to meet you in the next two days, and then go to the detention center to review the papers and check the situation, and then I will talk to you. Now we have nothing in hand, and it will definitely not work based on your words." Du Yong said.

"Sister-in-law, since Xiaoyong said, let's do this first, no more than a day or two later, wait." Du Dinggui advised.

"Well, Xiaoyong, it costs money to hire a lawyer. Auntie understands. How much does it cost to handle your Uncle Huang's case?" Chang Zhonglan nodded and looked at Du Yong.

Chang Zhonglan had hired a lawyer before and talked to a law firm in the county, so Chang Zhonglan understood what was going on here. Whoever you hired to handle your case would have to spend money. It was just a matter of more money and less money.

"Aunt, this is not our own business. The firm has rules and attorney fees must be collected. However, I can tell the boss that you only need to pay five thousand yuan." Du Yong thought for a while and answered.

"Okay, no problem. I'll sign now." Chang Zhonglan knew as soon as she heard that Du Yong had given her a discount. The small law firm in the county was asking for 50,000 yuan, but such a big law firm in the city only needed 50,000 yuan. For five thousand yuan, Du Yong has already taken good care of himself.

After completing the formalities, Du Yong invited the two of them to have a meal at a restaurant next to the law firm, and persuaded Chang Zhonglan for a long time before sending them away.

To be honest, Du Yong didn't want to handle Huang Yaoguang's case, because both parties were acquaintances, and the relationship between Huang Yaoguang and his uncle was so good, and the two families were neighbors. If the case went wrong, how would they be able to move around during the holidays in the future. But his uncle Du Dinggui brought someone here, and Du Yong couldn't refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and take the case.

"What are you worried about with such a frown on your face?" After Meng Guangda finished speaking, without waiting for Du Yong's reply, he impatiently picked up the big teacup on the table and drained the cold tea in the cup.

He had just returned from court and had lunch outside.

"My uncle introduced me to a case this morning. It was a neighbor from my hometown who was arrested for buying Z drug to open a mountain. We usually have a good relationship..." Du Yong frowned.

Meng Guangda understood immediately when he heard it. He had also encountered a similar situation, so he could understand Du Yong's mood at this time: "Leave it to me, I will host it and help you handle it. There are some things that you can't say, so let me do it." .”

"Brother Da, there are not many legal fees for this case..." Du Yong was halfway through his words. Meng Guangda patted his shoulder lightly: "Leave it to me, I'm afraid you won't be able to let go. We are a team. We should help each other.”

Then Meng Guangda said with a smile: "I have handled this kind of case before and have experience. If I have a case involving an acquaintance in the future, I will have to ask you for help."

"Well, thank you, Brother Da." Du Yong nodded.

When Meng Guangda first joined the team, Du Yong helped him a lot. Before he got his lawyer's license, they collaborated on many cases, allowing Meng Guangda to get a lot of commissions. So the two of them have a good relationship.

"I'll contact the detention center later and make an appointment for a meeting. By the way, I'll go to the procuratorate the day after tomorrow to review the papers. Is it useful to you..." Du Yong communicated with Meng Guangda about their work.

Four days later, Du Yong called and asked Chang Zhonglan to come to the law firm again to discuss the case. This time, her son Huang Qing came with her. Maybe it was because he had been exploring in the wild all year round. His skin looked a little rougher than his age. People are much bigger.

"Aunt, Huang Qing, this is Lawyer Meng from our team. After you left last time, I specially asked Lawyer Meng for advice. He has handled several similar cases, so this time I specially asked Lawyer Meng to host Uncle Huang's I will assist you with the case," Du Yong introduced.

"Lawyer Meng, please excuse me!" After Huang Qing and Chang Zhonglan greeted Lawyer Meng, Huang Qing asked: "Lawyer Meng, Brother Yong, is my dad's case particularly serious?"

Huang Qing's eyes showed concern. After arriving home yesterday morning, he heard his mother Chang Zhonglan talk about his father Huang Yaoguang's situation. He was extremely anxious, but he couldn't help, so he could only wait for news from the lawyer.

"Lawyer Du and I went to the detention center to meet your father. What your father said was similar to what your mother said before about the case.

Paragraph 1 of Article 125 of the Criminal Law stipulates that anyone who illegally manufactures, buys, sells, transports, mails, or stores firearms, ammunition, or explosives shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years; if the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to ten years. above fixed-term imprisonment, life imprisonment or death penalty.

According to the "Interpretations of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Laws in the Trial of Criminal Cases concerning the Illegal Manufacturing, Trading, and Transport of Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, etc." Article 1, Paragraph 1, Item (6), and Article 2, Item (1) It stipulates that trafficking of more than 5 kilograms of black powder, more than 150 detonators, and more than 150 meters of fuse is a "serious case" stipulated in the first paragraph of Article 125 of the Criminal Law.

Your father bought: 300 kilograms of Z medicine, 800 L tubes, and more than 200 meters of fuse S. According to the above provisions, your father's behavior does constitute serious circumstances. "Meng Guangda explained.

"Ah! So my father will definitely be sentenced, and he will have to spend more than ten years in prison, is that true?" Huang Qing's heart was cold. Such a large amount, and he was caught in a crime... It's difficult!

After Chang Zhonglan listened, tears flowed down.

"Not necessarily. Lawyer Du and I went to the Procuratorate to read the case file and communicated with the prosecutor several times about the case. Judging from the current situation, the Z medicine and other items purchased by your father were all used in Kaishan and were not leaked out. No harm was caused Serious social harm consequences.

Article 2 of the "Notice of the Supreme People's Court on Issues Related to Enforcement (Interpretations on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Laws in the Trial of Criminal Cases concerning the Illegal Manufacturing, Trading, and Transportation of Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, etc.)" Those who illegally manufacture, buy, sell, and transport firearms, ammunition, and explosives without causing serious social harm, and who truly show repentance after education, may be exempted or given a lighter punishment in accordance with the law. "Meng Guangda said.

"Then can my dad be exempted from punishment?" Another glimmer of hope rose in Huang Qing's heart.

“It is unlikely that the punishment will be waived, but a lighter punishment is possible.

We have communicated with the prosecutor in charge of your father's case and recommended that your father be given a suspended sentence. The prosecutor also feels that the above notice can be applied to your father's case and agrees to recommend that the court apply probation to your father. This is the best outcome we can get for your father. "Meng Guangda said.

"Does probation mean that you don't have to go to jail?" Chang Zhonglan looked at Meng Guangda blankly.

"If the court adopts the opinions of us and the prosecutor and sentences your father to a suspended sentence... Of course, because the sentence is below the statutory penalty, it needs to be reported to the Supreme Court step by step. As long as the Supreme Court approves, your father can go home.

Of course, your father's actions are subject to certain restrictions during the probation period. As long as he does not commit any crime or violate the regulations during the probation period, your father will be fine after the period expires. "Meng Guangda explained.
