What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 296: Chapter 127: I Just Like This Kind of Face-to-Face Feeling!

"Maintain the original sentence? Wasn't there an appeal, how can they still maintain the original sentence?" Gui Xueting looked at the online news, feeling utterly dismayed.

She had been prepared, planning on taking the judiciary exams after graduation; could it be that after all that appeal process, the original sentence was maintained again?

She thought about posting more comments, but it was too late because other netizens had already started mentioning her everywhere.

"Where are those who said the judgment was unfair before? Why are you silent now, or do you still want to say the intermediate court was influenced? No problem, apply for a retrial and see how the high court fares?"

"I think the ruling on this case is faultless; if such rulings are made, then, in the future, there'll be even more varied tactics for scammers targeting taxis and ride-hailing cars, right? Just jump out of the car without paying after getting drunk!"

"@Idler Crane, @Little Ting Ting, @Lawyer Old Zheng, so why aren't you all 'hidden dragons and crouching tigers' speaking up now?"

All the netizens were continuously mentioning her, and Gui Xueting didn't dare to say another word. As long as she played dead online, the other party was helpless anyway.

If someone trolls too hard, just block them!

This is a common situation online now: people will confront you, you read it and think about replying seriously, you type diligently for ages, and then you find out you've been blocked by them...

At that moment, you really feel like smashing your phone!

In Magic City, Lawyer Old Zheng was still shamelessly speaking out, his account's following was hard-earned, and relied on it for his livelihood.

"If the second trial upholds the original sentence, I certainly respect the second trial's verdict, but there's an issue. Let's not talk about anything else for now, but at least that young man was seriously injured, right? Someone has to take responsibility for that!"

Old Zheng similarly made a quick exit. He didn't even look at the replies that followed; he was simply burying his head in the sand.

Of all the people who had been mentioned, only Idler Crane was the bravest.

Idler Crane: "You want me to speak? How can I speak, isn't it obvious there are issues? If the lower courts have ruled this way, the higher ones are bound to uphold, otherwise where would they put their face?"

"Not to mention Tang Fangjing's presence, if you say the first trial was so, then so be it, but now even the second trial is upheld, it's blatantly problematic and you all can't see it?"

"No wonder people say netizens have a low level of education, with only four percent holding a bachelor's degree. Now it's evident, really low. If you're ignorant, don't talk to me."

Fuck, Ju Haiqing sitting in front of the computer couldn't help but burst out. Truly, this guy was way too pretentious, and he couldn't stand it!

Although he began writing novels full-time after graduation, Ju Haiqing also attended a prestigious university. However, he didn't like socializing, and coincidentally made some money writing during that time. Your journey continues with M V L

But now, with the other party flaunting an "only I get it; you know nothing" attitude, it was intolerable.

The last guy who claimed no one knew better than him is now being publicly accused by a 79-year-old woman, claiming he sexually assaulted her thirty years ago...

But now, all he could do was to reply, and after doing so, there was no further response from the other party. Dammit, so infuriating!

The turbulence online didn't affect reality, however, in the Eastern City Intermediate People's Court, Old Tang and Li Huaiqing were again surrounded by family members, though no one dared to talk about getting physical this time.

"What do you all want? The case has been ruled on, you're surrounding me, planning to say what? If you won't speak up, I'm leaving." Looking at the people around him, Old Tang said unperturbed.

To be fair, the family was truly in a dire situation. Anyone would struggle to accept their child's sudden severe injury.

But unpredictable disasters strike; nobody knows whether tomorrow or misfortune will arrive first.

You can't say just because someone jumps out of a cab, the cab driver must be sent to prison. That's not how it works.

Criminal law is society's "bottom line," exactly that, a baseline. Its use must be cautious and rational. We can't allow whoever is injured or whoever shouts loudest to be right.

If that were the case, everyone would just try to outshout each other instead of following laws.

Dong Liping looked at Old Tang in front of her, biting her teeth: "How can you be so conscienceless, defending them like that? Everyone online says you are a good lawyer, where's your goodness?"

There we go with the conscience talk again. Shaking his head, Old Tang said: "You don't need to worry about that; I sleep very well every night, my conscience is clear."

"As for whether I'm a good lawyer or not, that's not for you to judge. Those who I've helped in the past all know what's what."

"All right, I'm leaving now."

After finishing, he glanced at Fu Qiuying standing beside him. The prosecutor was certainly forceful, but unfortunately, no matter how strong her stance, she still had to abide by the law.

Ultimately, the rule of law is considerably better in Jiangguang. Even in court, the speakers weren't interrupted by the Judgment Chief.

Recently, Old Tang saw a piece of news online that dumbfounded him: a court actually used a security check to prevent a defense lawyer from entering, and by the time the check was complete, the case had conveniently just finished...

Old Tang couldn't comprehend this. If you didn't want the lawyer to defend, simply don't hold a trial at all; that's within the rights of your court, and no one could say anything.

But to hold a trial and then use such a despicable method to prevent the lawyer's participation, such behavior is truly baffling...

Passersby were brushed aside by Old Tang, wanting to say something but unable to find the words, they could only watch helplessly as Old Tang walked away.

Li Huaiqing followed quickly, feeling like he was finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
