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 diate.
But the leaders of Tengda also rejected the request imdiately, and upon subsequent calls, they claid they were already hospitalized...
Old Wang has always been shaless in this regard.
Now, Tang Fangjing is the golden sign of the law firm, he'd be crazy to help out as a diator.
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 diator Hu from the Pre-litigation diation 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 -
"Haven't you seen the news online? This matter has beco a hot topic on the internet. Netizens are cursing Xihong District and Jingzhou, asking why we are diating when we should be hurrying to pass judgnt..."
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 beco 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 tis.
That is to say, this case has not been filed the whole ti, it has been under diation.
Now that the netizens are clear about it, naturally, they started to lash out, criticizing Xihong District Court and Jingzhou, even extending their ire to Han Dong...
Facing enormous pressure from public opinion, Xihong District Court had no choice but to file the case, and clearly, diation was no longer an option.
Hu Xinqin hung up the phone and started the paperwork to transfer the case back while dialing Wu Xiaozhen's number.
"Hello, is this Wu Xiaozhen? What are you guys doing? Why did you post about this online?"
Wu Xiaozhen on the other end of the call was utterly confused, "Huh?"
Thinking the diator was contacting her with so progress.
"What's left to talk about? I made so many preparations for diating this case, all for nothing, do you understand? Public opinion now demands that the case must be filed, the court can't withstand the pressure anymore. I'm calling to let you know, prepare for the trial!"
Wu Xiaozhen was shocked, "How... How did it co to this?"
However, Hu Xinqin had already hung up the phone.
The case indeed made progress, no diation, directly to trial!
At Tengda, Old Tang no longer paid attention to this matter; once the other side chose to take it online, the outco was predetermined.
Once the case was filed, the trial was quickly set for five days later.
The trial had little to question, with sufficient evidence, the video of the assault, the dical reports, and the determination of self-defense, this was already enough.
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 cri."
Old Tang did not contradict this, but instead focused on another matter.
"During the previous diation, the defendant had stated that if he were to be sentenced, he would definitely kill 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 statents began, and Yu Erming cried miserably, "I really made a mistake, I didn't think so much at the ti, please don't make go to jail, please, I was wrong..."
His defenses had been broken, but demonstrations of remorse aren't about crying during your final statent; the law is not a child's play.
After the adjournnt, 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 dical expenses and ntal 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.
