Liu Yuan had no extra time to think about other things, and his career as an independent practicing lawyer began in such a hurry.

Mr. Pan's schedule was packed and he was very busy. Therefore, he handed a high-profile murder case to Liu Yuan. The case had entered the second trial stage, but because the suspect was financially constrained, even the mere 10,000 yuan in lawyer fees was barely scraped together by his family.

That day, Liu Yuan came to the Second Criminal Trial Chamber of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provincial High People's Court to apply for review of the case files. However, he was told that since the prosecutor handling the second instance also needed to review the case files, all the case files were still in the Public Prosecution Department of the Provincial Procuratorate. He could only wait for the High Court to notify him of the specific time for reviewing the case files, or contact the Provincial Procuratorate to see if he could arrange time for reviewing the case files.

Liu Yuan also contacted the Public Prosecution Department of the Provincial Procuratorate to ask if he could go to review the case files, but the other party told him that they had to wait until they finished reviewing the case files before allowing the defense attorney to go to the Provincial High Court to review the case files.

So Liu Yuan could only continue to wait patiently. After another long half month, he finally received a notice from the Provincial Procuratorate, saying that the examination of the case files had been completed and Liu Yuan could be arranged to go to the Provincial High Court to examine the case files.

The next day after receiving the news, Liu Yuan arrived at the Provincial High Court early, completed the formalities and paid the fees as required, and began to copy all the case files at the Provincial High Court. However, to his surprise, each copy cost one yuan! After some effort, Liu Yuan finally paid 2426 yuan for the copying fee and successfully copied all the case files.

Looking at the thick file in his hand, Liu Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "If this case has tens of thousands of pages of materials, the photocopying fee alone would be tens of thousands!" He realized that this charging method was too outrageous, which made people feel helpless and indignant. Such charging standards not only bring heavy financial burdens to the parties involved, but also reflect some unreasonable aspects of the judicial process.

The story of this murder case is as follows: The defendant Huang grew up in the Jinxi mountainous area, and came to Jinxi City to make a living when he became an adult, where he met the victim's family. They came from a remote village in Lanxi County, and the family had a daughter who was about the same age as Huang.

The two quickly fell in love and began to discuss marriage and plan their wedding. This should have been a happy event for everyone, but things took an unexpected turn.

The girl actually squandered Huang's savings of more than 200,000 yuan, and after receiving a betrothal gift of 188,800 yuan, she suddenly eloped with someone.

The defendant Huang had borrowed a lot of foreign debt in order to get married. Now he is penniless. When he went to ask for an explanation, he was sternly refused by his future mother-in-law and future mother-in-law. After asking for it many times, quarrels were inevitable. The old couple also threatened to kill him if he caused trouble again.

Huang, who had lost his mind, was unable to fall asleep for several days. In an unclear state of mind, he broke into the victim's house in broad daylight and had another quarrel. Huang then stabbed his former future father-in-law and mother-in-law with a fruit knife, and they died after failed rescue efforts.

After careful consideration and in-depth research, the first instance collegial panel of the Jinxi Intermediate People's Court believed that this case involved two lives, was extremely serious in nature, and had a bad social impact. After comprehensively considering various factors, the collegial panel decided to sentence the defendant Huang to death. This verdict reflects the fairness and seriousness of the law, and also demonstrates the judicial organs' zero tolerance attitude towards serious criminal acts.
