What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 397: A Hearing Will Be Held



Jingzhou, Tengda Law Firm, Old Tang casually put down his phone.

No way around it, it seems I'm destined to keep this reputation for "enjoying sending people in."

Even though he emphasized all sorts of things in the video, he originally just wanted to hold the other party accountable for fraud, didn't think of anything else.

But netizens don't believe it, you've sent so many officials in these past two years, do you think we're all fools?

So after defending himself for a bit, Old Tang still chose to give up; probably only the eternal heavens know what Tang Fangjing is thinking.

After posting the video, he didn't bother with it. The former chairman of Dajin is basically going to escape lifelong imprisonment, as for whether it will be life with reprieve... that remains unknown.

Don't even think about the death penalty; under the current situation, except for some special cases where "death penalty with immediate execution," normally it isn't possible to get the death penalty, at most life with reprieve.

There's one thing, Old Han hasn't given up even now, still thinking about digging him out.

Saying things like "As long as you come to Gale, you'd be the boss of Gale, and I, Han Chengli, will work under you."

Being able to say such things, Old Han probably has brain problems too.

But Tang Fangjing must be normal because he hasn't needed to go for a psychiatric check-up for months.

It's quite odd, Handong Provincial People's Hospital's psychiatric department actually called specifically, told him not to go yet, saying they need a breather over there.

Who knows what's worth holding on...

Old Tang smirked, lowered his head, and started reading again.

Time flashed by, and two days passed, come the morning of the third day, Old Tang received a call from the brigade side over there.

"This review needs a hearing? Oh good, I got it, I'll be there on time."

Putting down the phone, Old Tang was a bit puzzled, is Jingzhou's traffic management department really this formal?

Many people aren't actually familiar with hearings, some don't even know what procedure it is.

It's quite normal; not just ordinary people, even some legal workers have never participated in hearings.

Their only exposure has been in promotional reports or articles, saying some unit held a hearing because of something, and it was a great success, etc...

But hearings are actually quite interesting, you can simply understand it as a mock judicial trial in other fields.

For instance, the Procuratorate frequently holds hearings; under what circumstances? When considering discretionary non-prosecution.

Two essential conditions for discretionary non-prosecution: first, the party must have committed a crime; second, the crime is minor with legally mitigating circumstances and has shown remorse.

In such cases, the Procuratorate will hold a hearing, generally inviting people's congress representatives, political consultative members, lawyer representatives, investigators from the public security authorities involved, etc., for the hearing.

Of course, the suspect must attend; the victim can attend too, but generally, for hearings to happen, the victim's forgiveness has been secured.

Administrative agencies also hold hearings alike, inviting various personnel to the hearing, and if there are opposing views, debates occur, generally used during complex or difficult administrative decisions or penalties.

Doing this has a benefit; even if something goes wrong later, after a hearing, responsibility won't be pursued much.

Old Tang hadn't paid much attention before, but thinking now, this review could directly result in Zhang Minghui's exoneration, and make someone else guilty.

In such cases, the brigade over there must be particularly cautious.

But that's fine; he has no other business anyway.

Quickly Old Tang dialed Zhang Minghui's number: "Hey, yes, I'm Tang Fangjing, letting you know, the review for your traffic accident determination, just received a call from them, they're going to hold a hearing."

"Yes, tomorrow morning at nine, I'll send you the address later, remember to be on time; as long as you're deemed not the main responsible, the case can be withdrawn."

"Preparation? No need to prepare, I'm here."

This case is simple anyway; Old Tang doesn't need to teach the other party what to say in advance, just speak truthfully when the time comes.

A lawyer coaching a suspect on handling questions isn't about telling them to lie.

Legal questions are particularly rigorous, sometimes it even focuses on wordplay, but as ordinary people, many can't answer as rigorously.

If the answer is poor, it'll fall into the traps of the other party's questions.

Indeed, our country's lawyers don't have such influence, but in some specific cases, a poor answer could greatly increase your responsibility.

In particular in the judgment document, it could be the difference between one-year and two-year sentences.

After hanging up the phone, Old Tang immediately started preparing.

On the other side of the Bright District, in a neighborhood, fifty-seven-year-old Tang Weidong was eating at home.

He was the pedestrian who ran the red light crossing the street that day when the accident happened; the collision left some bruises on his leg.

Seeing the electric bike rider get crushed by the car that day, he got scared and ran straight away, but such things can definitely be investigated if someone wants to.

On the third day after the incident, he received a call from the Public Security Authorities; he went to make a statement and learned that the electric bike rider had died.

But he doesn't think he can be in any trouble; a pedestrian crossing the street, and it was the other party riding the electric bike that hit him, no way he could be responsible.
