They did seek out the Lawyers Association, but as soon as Jingzhou City Lawyers Association heard they were going to approach Tang Fangjing, they outright refused.
Then they went to Tengda, planning to have Tengda's leadership step in to mediate.
But the leaders of Tengda also rejected the request immediately, and upon subsequent calls, they claimed they were already hospitalized...
Old Wang has always been shameless in this regard.
Now, Tang Fangjing is the golden sign of the law firm, he'd be crazy to help out as a mediator.
With no other option, Hu Xinqin could only proceed in this manner.
Just when she was about to leave, her cellphone rang.
"Hello, is this Mediator Hu from the Pre-litigation Mediation Center? Hey, yes, I'm from the case filing office, yes, regarding the criminal complaint case that was transferred to you, we are now preparing to transfer it back and file the case."
Upon hearing this, Hu Xinqin was taken aback, "Ah? Why are we filing the case all of a sudden? I was about to go out and get to work on it." Continue reading at m|v-l'e -novelhall.net
"Haven't you seen the news online? This matter has become a hot topic on the internet. Netizens are cursing Xihong District and Jingzhou, asking why we are mediating when we should be hurrying to pass judgment..."
The staff were quite helpless.
Public opinion is a double-edged sword. If you want to leverage the power of public opinion, you must be prepared to face backlash.
The Xihong District Court has become the target of abuse. Although Old Tang didn't say it explicitly, the lawyers online quickly pieced together the situation based on the dates and times.
Don't even think about a private prosecution in a mutual fight, it's definitely going to be rejected, but with self-defense, there's no problem.
Wu Xiaozhen hired a lawyer, who was now speaking confidently, "My client did indeed commit intentional injury, but the offense is minor and, according to regulations, should not be considered a crime."
Old Tang did not contradict this, but instead focused on another matter.
"During the previous mediation, the defendant had stated that if he were to be sentenced, he would definitely kill me and my client. Considering this, I believe the defendant should not be eligible for a suspended sentence."
"Moreover, he has shown no remorse whatsoever, and doesn't even believe his actions were criminal."
There are four conditions for a suspended sentence, two key points being, no risk of re-offending and demonstration of remorse.
We're all adults; we must pay the price for our words. Do you really think making threats has no consequence?
Hearing these words, Yu Erming's face drained of color.
The final statements began, and Yu Erming cried miserably, "I really made a mistake, I didn't think so much at the time, please don't make me go to jail, please, I was wrong..."
His defenses had been broken, but demonstrations of remorse aren't about crying during your final statement; the law is not a child's play.
After the adjournment, Xihong District Court announced the verdict: the defendant Yu Erming was guilty of intentional injury and sentenced to six months in prison.
With an additional civil lawsuit, the total compensation for medical expenses and mental damages was sixty thousand yuan!
A prison sentence, without the application of a suspended sentence—the verdict handed down, Yu Erming's legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the courtroom floor.
