Disagreements between lawyers and prosecutors about what constitutes a crime and the appropriate sentencing severity are all too normal.
Although the criminal law is there, how facts are determined and laws are applied will certainly differ among individuals, which is normal.
Otherwise, there would be no point in having a trial.
However, Lawyer Tang found it unreasonable to use sentencing recommendations from plea bargains to threaten defendants.
In the end, it's about some prosecutors being too dominant, not wanting to see lawyers who dare to confront them.
But Old Tang was not afraid of these tactics—he walked a straight and honest path!
Fu Qiuhua didn't know what to say. If it were a local lawyer, it might have been one thing, but an out-of-town lawyer really could ignore these pressures, not to mention that Tang Fangjing was famous for his boldness and fearlessness.
Seeing the two arguing, Li Huaiqing hurriedly said, "Lawyer Tang, Lawyer Tang, I'll listen to you, I won't sign it, I won't sign it."
He had indeed been somewhat persuaded, but quickly realized that Lawyer Tang truly wanted to help him!
A renowned lawyer on the Internet, and no need to pay? Where else would you find such a good person!
Fu Qiuhua glanced at Li Huaiqing and then said, "Okay then, let's leave it at that."
"So the prosecutor's interrogation of the suspect is over, right?" Old Tang asked as usual.
"It's over." Fu Qiuhua said, staring at Tang Fangjing in front of her. Find adventures at мѵʟ
Old Tang then took Li Huaiqing and left immediately. With the situation like this, there was no point in staying any longer.
Outside the prosecutor's office, Old Tang said to Li Huaiqing, "I told you before, now you've caused this scene. Forget it, remember if you're summoned again, don't make any promises, absolutely don't admit guilt, understand?"
By doing so, she could also influence the case through public opinion, hopefully securing a heavier sentence for the other party!
Having made her decision, Dong Liping began contacting the media, typically local outlets.
In an office building in Dongfang City, Zheng Lingfen, who had just turned thirty this year, was looking at private messages in the platform's backend. Her "Afen's Help" was considered one of the larger people's livelihood programs among self-media in Jiangguang.
She usually reported on various social issues, of course, with fees depending on the situation.
If it was a highly engaging and attention-drawing issue, there would be no charge, purely for the sake of web traffic.
But for less significant matters where people only needed to protect their rights, she would charge for reporting.
At that moment, she saw a private message about a drunk jumping from a car, causing serious injury, and that a public prosecution had already been initiated!
Yet the person responsible for the injury hadn't come to visit or take care of anything—it screamed hot topic.
She quickly made a phone call.
"Hello, is this Ms. Dong? I'm from Afen's Help. Could you explain what happened in detail? Yes, we might be able to cover this."
The two soon began to negotiate, and Zheng Lingfen felt this story really had potential!
Netizens generally sympathize with the underdog, which is why many trending topics involve the oppressed.
Not to mention that this case was truly compelling: a young person with a severe head injury that could affect their entire life.
Add a little dramatization about how poor and miserable the family is, sprinkle in some additional details, and the buzz is guaranteed. She was clear on how to play this angle!
Regarding the other aspects, she was aware that once a case was before the court, it was pretty much set in stone.
