What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 284: Chapter 124 Translation translation, what is the right to an independent defense!_4

Dong Liping gnashed her teeth and said, "So that's it, apologizing and giving money is enough? How many times did Xiaohui tell him to stop the car while he was on it? Why didn't he stop? It was already said that if he didn't stop the car, Xiaohui would jump out, but he completely ignored it."

"After Xiaohui jumped out, someone already told him that Xiaohui had jumped, worried he might get hurt, but instead of stopping directly, he drove a bit further before stopping."

"Moreover, he didn't go back to check on his son, nor did he call for an ambulance, leading to his son ending up like this. With all that said, don't you think he should be sentenced to death?"

"I don't care, it's all because of him that Xiaohui ended up like this!"

Fang Pinghui's father sighed. His son was in such a state, and it was a bolt from the blue for their family as well.

So what they wanted to do now was to severely punish the other party, to see him put away, so they could feel a bit better.

However, he felt that his wife's words were in vain, as it was impossible for the death penalty to be applied no matter what.

But since the case was still in the investigative phase, they, as the family of the victim, couldn't access any information and could only wait.

In such an atmosphere, time passed, day by day.

More than twenty days had passed since Li Huaiqing was criminally detained. Old Tang submitted a bail pending trial application to the public security organs once again.

This time the approval came quickly. The next day, the public security organs notified them that Li Huaiqing could be released on bail pending trial.

Bail pending trial was not necessarily about paying money; one could also use a guarantor.

Here, Old Tang was a perfectly suitable guarantor. As a well-known lawyer in the country, being a guarantor was more than enough for him, although he was actually willing to front the money...

In the Baishan District Detention Center, Li Huaiqing walked out step by step, feeling a sense of unreality as he looked at the sunshine outside.

Looking ahead, his wife was already waiting for him, wiping her tears non-stop.

Old Tang stood beside him with a smile and said, "You should go home first. Remember to follow the rules of bail pending trial. If the public security organs summon you, you must appear at any time, understand?"

"Remember, just because you're out doesn't mean you're off the hook. It just means that for now you can be outside instead of being cooped up in the detention center."

It was essential to make these things clear; otherwise, some people might think that being released on bail pending trial means they're in the clear.

That wasn't the case. Bail pending trial simply meant that one met the relevant conditions, and it was completely unrelated to whether or not one was actually in trouble.

Old Tang had encountered similar situations before when people thought they were free after being granted bail, went out to have fun, didn't report their travel plans to the public security organs, left the city, and then had their bail pending trial revoked and ended up back in the detention center.

Li Huaiqing hurriedly nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lawyer Tang, I promise to play by the rules."

"That's good, you can't drive taxis for now, you can find something else to do."

Being on bail pending trial did not preclude one from working, unless there were specific restrictions from the public security organs.

In such cases, the procuratorate generally wouldn't authorize an arrest, so the next step was to wait for the public security organs to transfer materials during the prosecution review stage to see if they could get away without being prosecuted.

As time went by, the Baishan District Public Security Bureau transferred the case files to the Baishan District Procuratorate, and the case formally entered the prosecution review stage.

Naturally, Old Tang helped apply for an "extension of bail" to the procuratorate. The public security organs, procuratorate, and courts could carry out bail pending trial at their respective stages.

At the Baishan District Procuratorate, Old Tang was still waiting in the office. In fact, he had been trying to meet this prosecutor for several days but had not been able to secure an appointment.

Since he finally got an opportunity to meet today, of course, he had to rush over.

As a lawyer, you're definitely on the weaker side.

After waiting for a while, the office door opened, and a short-haired woman in her thirties walked in.

"Are you Lawyer Tang? Hello, hello, I am the prosecutor for the Li Huaiqing case. My name is Fu Qiuhua." The short-haired woman reached out to Old Tang with a handshake.

The other party knew he was Tang Fangjing but didn't show much enthusiasm. However, Old Tang found it quite normal.

He wasn't some beloved figure welcomed wherever he went; that was impossible.

A professional work attitude was enough because, as a lawyer, one had to rely on facts and the law to speak, not on connections. Find more chapters on ???

"Hello, Prosecutor Fu." Old Tang shook her hand and then released it.

"Lawyer Tang, the case file has been brought over, and I've also roughly understood the situation. Now I'd like to hear your opinion." Fu Qiuhua looked at Tang Fangjing across from her.

"My opinion is, Li Huaiqing hasn't committed a crime!" Old Tang looked at the prosecutor across from him, his expression natural.

"Not committed a crime? As a taxi driver, Li Huaiqing has a duty of care to safely transport passengers. " Fu Qiuhua replied directly.

"In this case, Li Huaiqing failed to stop the car despite Fang Pinghui in the back seat asking to get off multiple times, and Fang Pinghui had already attempted to jump out once!"

"In such a situation, he should have foreseen that if he didn't stop the car, the other party was very likely to jump out, yet he didn't stop."

"And, Fang Pinghui had said before, that if the car didn't stop, he would jump out. Considering all this, do you still think Li Huaiqing hasn't committed a crime?"

For some reason, Fu Qiuhua was a bit agitated, and her voice raised somewhat.

It seemed she thought Tang Fangjing's claim of innocence was a bit too much.

But Old Tang had seen it all; a prosecutor was nothing special to him.

"Yes, Li Huaiqing should not be considered to have committed a crime. Although the other party had a previous action of jumping out of the car, Li Huaiqing had already locked the car doors afterward. Therefore, under such circumstances, he couldn't possibly foresee that the other party would still jump out from the car window!"
