Becoming a lawyer starts with raising a Xiezhi

Chapter 524 Sentenced to Real Sentence
This is what the old lawyer hired by Wei Tiancheng said, while Meng Lang just said this sentence: "The defender believes that the victim in this case used the recording function when talking with the defendant, which shows that he has some knowledge about the matter." No matter what state of mind he held at the time, he must have realized that the defendant helped him find a relationship. He wanted to leave evidence to prove that the money was used to find a relationship for him. From the perspective of the victim, He did not misunderstand, and it was not because the defendant cheated him, coaxed him, and helped him find a relationship that he paid the money, but that the victim really needed to find a relationship, and the defendant promised to find a relationship for him, but in the end he could not Can't find a relationship, the defendant did not make a promise in this regard, from this point of view, the defendant did not deceive the victim, the public prosecution agency accused the defendant of defrauding the victim of money under the banner of helping the victim find a relationship, from the existing evidence , the proof is not sufficient, it cannot be fully proved that the defendant asked for money from the victim purely for the purpose of defrauding the victim's money. , that is, he knew that he committed a criminal act for the purpose of defrauding other people's money, but this case was not the case. Although the victim said that the defendant was defrauding him and trying to defraud him of his money, he did not deny that the reason he paid the defendant was to coordinate the relationship, and the purpose of his recording was also to worry that the defendant would not be able to coordinate. This shows that the victim can coordinate the relationship well, has expectations and precautions in his heart, and is not the kind of victim who completely fell into a misunderstanding and was deceived. Therefore, this case should belong to a civil dispute. , the victim can ask the defendant to return the property on the grounds that the actual cost of the coordination relationship has not occurred, and it should not be prosecuted as a criminal case."

As soon as Meng Lang finished speaking, Wei Tiancheng was very happy to hear that, and felt that he had made this issue very clear. The existing evidence could not prove that when he asked the victim for money, he had the intention of illegal possession. Don't you also go to coordinate the relationship?It just didn't cost money.

After Meng Lang finished speaking, the attorney for the attorney made an attorney statement, pointing out to the court that the defendant's behavior constituted a crime of fraud. Although the defendant refused to admit that he had the intention of illegal possession when he asked the victim for money, he could engage in subsequent crimes. To determine whether he had the intention of illegal possession. Afterwards, after he took the money, he did not use the money to find a relationship, but deposited it in his wife’s account to buy financial management. If he had no illegal possession Deliberately, why would you use it to buy wealth management?What if he needs money to find a relationship?Also, after the victim was released, the defendant asked the victim's son for millions of dollars under the pretext of finding a relationship. At this time, did he not have the intention of illegal possession?People have been released, so what else is there for him to coordinate?right?In this case, no matter how the defendant pleaded not guilty or how eloquently he spoke, he could not clear his suspicion of guilt. As a lawyer, he should abide by the law, but the defendant ignored the law and relied on his own professional experience compared with the victim. advantage, defrauding the victim and defrauding huge sums of money should be prosecuted by the law!
As soon as the attorney finished speaking, Wei Tiancheng immediately said: "I use the money to buy wealth management, but it is only temporary, because the money is idle there, and if necessary, it can be withdrawn and used again. This is nothing, the defendant Although the person was released, but after the fact, the human relationship and the next work still need to be done, especially the client company still has some civil cases that need me to do, so I asked him for legal fees. This does not prove that I have illegal Possessive intent.”

"Is there any favor after the fact? You didn't have favor before the event, so where did you get favor after? You are just looking for an excuse to try to defraud the victim of money. No matter how much you argue, you can't change this fact." Attorney lawyer Immediately retorted.

The trial went on for a whole day. Although the case was not big, because Wei Tiancheng refused to plead guilty and was suspected of fraud by lawyers, the progress of the trial was relatively slow, and it didn't end until the afternoon.

The court did not pronounce a verdict on the spot, and the prosecution and the defense had great differences, and the trial committee had to go to the trial committee to make a decision.

After the trial, Meng Lang left the court. On the way back, he was thinking about this question in his heart. The case was indeed controversial, but he did not approve of Wei Tiancheng's behavior at all. Although Wei Tiancheng's behavior temporarily made him rich , but it damages the lawyer's image in the client's mind. If a lawyer is only interested in money, he is no different from a businessman. What kind of legal community is he?
Ordinarily, lawyers should exist for the correct implementation of the law, just like judges and prosecutors. But if a lawyer is focused on making money, how can he consider whether the law is implemented correctly?For the benefit of the client, you can do your best, but you can't deceive the client?
The client is equivalent to the parents of food and clothing, and it is really wrong to deceive the parents of food and clothing.

Meng Lang thought in his heart that in this case, Wei Tiancheng would most likely be sentenced to real punishment, and the sentence might not be short.

Half a month later, the court officially pronounced that the defendant Wei Tiancheng was guilty of fraud, sentenced to 13 years in prison, fined 20 yuan, and ordered to return the stolen money!
Wei Tiancheng said on the spot when he heard the verdict: "I don't accept it, I want to appeal, this verdict is completely wrong, this is a major blow to our lawyer system, I did not defraud him, I am providing legal services for them, I want to appeal."

Wei Tiancheng was very excited, but he was sentenced in the first instance, and he was found to be a fraud. After the verdict was pronounced, Wei Tiancheng asked the old lawyer he hired to write an appeal to the intermediate court.

Meng Lang withdrew from the case and didn't want to defend him anymore, because Wei Tiancheng's appeal was unlikely to be successful. This also provided a good lesson for other lawyers, that is, they must abide by professional ethics in the process of practicing law. Morality, take the money you should take, don’t take any money you shouldn’t take, use professionalism and honesty to gain the trust of the parties, and then open up the business situation, instead of cheating to earn that kind of ill-gotten wealth.

Soon, the result of Wei Tiancheng's appeal came out. The second trial did not hold a hearing, and directly rejected his appeal request.
