Chapter 399: Zhang Wei Called for Reinforcements!
Some cases can be delayed and judged casually, but some cases must not be delayed or judged casually.
The law is the law, but the law is also just the law.
For example, now, even Li Wanting herself said that the man released from prison already has some thoughts in his mind.
If his appeal isn't successful in time now, it could really lead to big problems.
Not to mention his wife cheated, he barely managed to catch them in the act, only to be sent to prison by the lover instead, and then his wife went ahead and divorced him.
You could really say that suddenly everything was gone.
Family, whether you call it a weakness or some other factor, as long as there's a family, you have to consider it in everything you do.
Why hasn't old Tang married all this time, not even having a girlfriend? Is it because he naturally dislikes women?
Of course not.
It's like how we always talk about how old men driving scooters are rampant, yet nobody controls them.
Because it's not the scooter that's formidable, it's the old man sitting in the scooter!
What can traffic police do when they catch them, fine them? Impound the scooter? If you dare to do that today, tomorrow the old man might just lie down at your doorstep.
Detain them? What a joke. Once you're over seventy, neither the prison nor the detention center will take you in, let alone those old men might have a slew of chronic diseases like high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, or cerebral infarction.
If you don't take them, it's your problem; if you do and something happens to them inside, it's our problem.
So, old Tang needs to appeal quickly.
Li Wanting was shocked upon hearing this: "Director, you're going personally?"
"Of course, if I don't go, and it's just up to you, who knows how many times this case will need to be appealed."
It's not so easy to start a criminal case retrial; we often see that someone has finally started a retrial after appealing for many years.
Just think about it in the simplest way; is it because the final appeal that started the retrial found the core issue?
Does that mean all those lawyers hired by the party over the years couldn't find the problem?
How is that possible, it's just a criminal case; criminal cases can be difficult, but they can also be very simple.
The core argument for applying for a retrial can't change.
So, to start a retrial, you have to consider some other factors, and old Tang can sometimes be that other factor.
Rewriting the appeal, Li Wanting quickly began notifying the party involved.
Meanwhile, in Linshan District of Jingzhou City, Jiang Mingyu was sitting dumbfounded on the bed.
His mind was in chaos, and he really wanted to slaughter that pair of cheating scoundrels!
Because of a caught adultery, his life trajectory changed; he lost his home, lost his job, and fell from a promising young man to an endless hell.
Now, it's impossible to find a slightly better job; at this age, he has to rely on his parents to go out to work and earn money.
His parents were originally enjoying their retirement life, also helping him look after his child, but now...
Just then, Jiang Mingyu's phone rang. When he looked, he found it was the lawyer Li Wanting from Tengda calling.
Jiang Mingyu's evaluation of this Lawyer Li Wanting was that she truly put her heart into helping him.
Since taking on the case, she started working hard, a kind of effort that could be felt, and she would basically spend time every few days to chat with him, discuss the case progress, and even provide some psychological support.
Thanks to Tengda's Director, who is a... a psychiatric expert, some Tengda lawyers are also beginning to explore psychology.
Many problems can't be solved by law, let alone by lawyers.
And some people are prone to extremity, and at such times, perhaps a few counseling words can make them abandon that idea.
The law is cold, but legal practitioners must not be cold!
Thinking about this, Jiang Mingyu answered the call.
"Hello, Lawyer Li, is there any progress with the case?"
Li Wanting's voice came through the phone: "Mr. Jiang, tomorrow we'll submit the appeal to the High Court here; there's something I need to tell you, your case will be handed over to someone else."
Ah? Jiang Mingyu stood up immediately: "Lawyer Li, why is this happening..."
"Our Director happens to be free recently. After looking at your case and thinking the progress is too slow, he decided to take it on personally. Of course, nominally, it's still my case..."
Ah... Jiang Mingyu slowly sat down: "Director Tang is going to handle it personally..."
Li Wanting laughed: "What's wrong, don't want him to? Then I'll just let the Director know, it's no problem."
"No, no, let Director Tang handle it..."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mingyu looked out the window. Tang Fangjing was going to take on his case, and suddenly he felt full of hope!
Time flew by to the next day, and old Tang, with Li Wanting and Wang Jing, headed straight to the Handong Province High Court.
The High Court is a place that other lawyers in Jingzhou might not visit often, but old Tang comes here frequently.
During the Tengfei Company case, old Tang was here every few days.
In Wang Jing's eyes, the Director seemed more at ease here than at the law firm... at the firm, at least, he had to consider the lawyers working in the hall.
So casually, they entered, found the window, and began submitting the application.
The staff at the High Court's retrial application window casually took the application, glanced at it, and then looked up: "Lawyer Tang? You're here again?"
Old Tang immediately looked displeased: "What do you mean again? If a case finds me, can I not take it?"
