Now this self-media and the victim's family members are actually saying there was never an apology... When Feng Caixia went, she had said a whole lot of nice things.
We can't just disregard it because it was during the investigation stage.
Let's just let the bullet fly for a while, deal with it slowly after the trial is over.
Once the case reached the court, as the defendant's lawyer, he could access and copy all the materials, so he made a special trip to the court a few days ago and copied everything that needed to be copied.
After comparing them to his own files, the differences weren't significant, so he could preliminarily form his defense arguments.
There are two types of negligence that can cause serious injury, one is the negligence of inattention, which is when one should foresee the potential harm of an action but fails to due to carelessness.
The negligence of overconfidence, on the other hand, is when one has foreseen the potential harm but foolishly believes it can be avoided...
Therefore, all he needed to clarify was that the prosecution's current evidence could not prove Li Huaiqing was guilty of any form of negligence.
Without negligence, there naturally is no causation linked to the other party's serious injury, and thus, no crime is present.
The law only considers evidence, nothing else.
In his previous life, Old Tang had handled many cases of negligent injury or death, and he had to admit, these cases were difficult, not just ordinarily difficult.
Some cases have also shown that there's a certain ambiguity in these situations, it's really hard to say whether something could have been foreseen or not.
The case was now clear, and so were the points of defense. He also took the time to coach Li Huaiqing on how to respond to the prosecution's questions.
Finally, the day of the trial arrived.
Old Tang still arrived early at Baishan District Court, went through security, and entered the criminal courtroom.
As expected, there was a significant number of spectators for this case, though the trial wasn't being broadcast live on the public viewing network.
And in the spectator's area, many people greeted him as they saw him.
"To put it this way, out of a thousand cases, maybe one will end in acquittal, do you understand?"
Comforted by Zheng Lingfen, Dong Liping finally nodded her head.
She was anxious because she knew of Tang Fangjing's reputation and was worried that the court might actually acquit because of Tang Fangjing, and she didn't know what she would do then.
The court clerk had already started to confirm details, following procedures.
Old Tang glanced at the prosecutor, the same one he had seen before, Fu Qiuhua, the prosecutor for the first trial.
The sentencing recommendation was eight months of imprisonment, which was admittedly a bit harsh.
However, since he had decided to go for an innocent defense, it didn't matter how high the sentencing recommendation was.
Meanwhile, many people online were also following the case closely.
In fact, by now, the focus was no longer on the case itself but on whether Lawyer Tang would break his golden image.
If he lost, those whom Old Tang had offended would revel in celebration, "You Tang Fangjing are supposed to be the good guy, so why defend someone like that!"
"Everyone has rights to a defense, we don't want to hear that, all we know is that you defended a bad person."
"No matter what other lawyers do, you can't, you can only defend good people, otherwise you can't stand on the moral high ground, your house will collapse."
Jin Xintian, who had already graduated, was now working at a milk tea shop, always ready to voice opposition to whatever Tang Fangjing did.
This time, he finally saw hope!
Old Wang and Old Song from Tengda were paying attention to the case too, they knew about the undercurrents flowing online, mainly due to the number of people Old Tang had offended...
Fu Qiuhua sat in the prosecutor's seat, her gaze fixed on Tang Fangjing.
She trusted her judgment, this case was definitely one of negligent injury, the evidence was conclusive!
