Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 161: A Beautiful Gold-Digger Who Wants to Cling to the Rich and Powerful (1)

Fortunately, there was a public security bureau nearby. The police quickly took the troublemakers away and asked Liang Heyu and Jingyu to go to the police station to give a statement.

It turned out that this man was the plaintiff in a case that Liang Heyu took on when he graduated from university.

Liang Heyu studied at the best political science and law university in the country. At that time, his main focus was not commercial economic disputes, but criminal litigation. The first case he took on was a famous wife-murder case in the local area.

Luo Jianxiong, the defendant, stabbed his wife 13 times at home, each fatal. Due to the severity of the circumstances, he was sentenced to death at first instance. He was dissatisfied with the verdict and wanted to appeal, and he asked his sister, Luo Xiuyun, to find a lawyer for him.

At the time, no criminal lawyer in the city was willing to take the case. Luo Xiuyun had no other options, and by chance, she hired Liang Heyu, a recent college graduate with a licensed lawyer.

Liang Heyu had originally been reluctant to take the job, as it was too low-paying and thankless. But after Luo Xiuyun explained the entire situation, Liang Heyu realized the court's punishment for Luo Jianxiong was excessive.

He wanted to uphold justice in the true sense, so he took the case.

...

Luo Jianxiong was laid off by his company on his 43rd birthday. He returned home at p.m. to discover his wife, Mao Minxia, ​​had been having sex in their bedroom. Although he was furious at the time, he eventually forgave her.

But five days later, Luo Jianxiong felt more and more that his two children did not look like him at all. Full of doubts, he took his children's hair to the hospital for a DNA test. The results showed that his 16-year-old son and 14-year-old daughter were not his biological children.

Luo Jianxiong, who had been taken advantage of and raised someone else's child for over a decade, was furious. That evening, at 7 p.m., he returned home to confront his wife, who mocked him, calling him a poor, incompetent loser.

So at 7:20 that evening, Luo Jianxiong committed the crime of his life.

At 8 o'clock that evening, because no one was picking up the two children who were staying at the school, Mao Minxia's brother Mao Jiahui called their uncle. After picking up the two children from school, he discovered the crime scene and immediately called the police.

Luo Jianxiong was brought to court.

Because the incident suddenly attracted widespread coverage from local media, Luo Jianhui became a murderer that everyone condemned. Under pressure from public opinion, the court sentenced Luo Jianxiong to death a week later.

Luo Jianxiong was dissatisfied with the verdict and appealed again, so Luo Xiuyun invited Liang Heyu to be his defense lawyer.

According to Luo Jianxiong's relatives and neighbors, Luo Jianxiong had always been an honest man with a good temper, and never lost his temper with his wife and children. Instead, Mao Minxia often scolded her husband and also liked to play mahjong and gamble.

According to Luo Xiuyun, her brother Luo Jianxiong is a very good brother. He respects his wife and loves his children. He was filial to the elderly when his parents were alive. He often helps his fellow villagers and even contributed a lot of money to road construction in his hometown.

Luo Xiuyun couldn't believe the fact that her brother had killed her sister-in-law. But the fact was so, and Luo Xiuyun had to run around for this matter.

Because Luo Jianhui had pleaded guilty in the first trial, the second trial mainly focused on sentencing standards.

Defense lawyer Liang Heyu focused on the victim Mao Minxia's infidelity, the background of the two children, and Luo Jianhui's mental problems after he was laid off and insulted by his wife. He also relied on the evaluations of a large number of people who had established social relationships with Luo Jianxiong to launch his defense.

In addition, the person involved, Luo Jianhui, admitted his mistakes sincerely and confessed his crimes in court with tears in his eyes.

In the end, the second trial sentenced Luo Jianhui to life imprisonment, and if he behaves well in prison, he will have the opportunity to have his sentence reduced.

This case also made Liang Heyu famous, and it can be said that it was the case that made him famous.

But afterwards, he was criticized a lot on the Internet for defending the murderer.

Mao Jiahui even cursed Liang Heyu after the trial.

Luo Xiuyun's family became a local pariah, with paint and gossip splashed on their doorsteps. His child was also ostracized and bullied at school, with classmates claiming he was the nephew of a murderer and would surely commit murder himself in the future.

Luo Xiuyun was forced to move out of the city with her husband and children after being persuaded to resign by her unit.

The situation of Luo Jianxiong's defense lawyer Liang Heyu is not much better. The Internet is full of criticism against him, and even his mentor was dragged out and criticized online.

Liang's parents spent a lot of money to calm down the online public opinion. Under the pressure from his parents, Liang Heyu flew abroad to study and turned to the direction of economic disputes.

However, the matter did not subside with the passage of time. During these five years, Mao Jiahui still did not give up, even posting rights protection posts online and secretly searching for Luo Xiuyun everywhere, which made Luo Xiuyun's family very annoyed.

The person who was wrapped tightly last time was Luo Xiuyun.

Luo Xiuyun said that after the second trial, she sold her brother's house and all his savings and compensated them to Mao Jiahui, which totaled 30 yuan.

But Mao Jiahui was still not satisfied and wanted another 20 yuan, saying it was for the cost of raising two children. If he didn't take the money, he would pay with his life.

Luo Xiuyun didn't have that much money, and she had three children to support. Because of this incident, her children's academic performance began to decline, and her husband was now divorcing her.

She was really helpless, so she found Liang Heyu to seek help and remind him to be careful of Mao Jiahui's revenge.

Facts have proved that what Luo Xiuyun said was indeed correct.

Mao Jiahui became increasingly extreme in this matter, even threatening people with a knife in public.

The attempted murder with a knife was enough to make Mao Jiahui suffer. After all, the law firm had surveillance evidence, and Liang Heyu could not help but lose the lawsuit if he personally went to court.

Mao Jiahui was temporarily detained in the police station. His wife came and after knowing what Mao Jiahui had done, she wanted to kneel down in front of Liang Heyu and beg him to let Mao Jiahui go, as she had four children to support at home.

Liang Heyu would never be lenient. According to Mao Jiahui's situation, he would probably be sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of less than three years.

After coming out of the police station, Liang Heyu was visibly exhausted both physically and mentally.

Jingyu did not ask him whether he regretted taking on Luo Jianxiong's case five years ago, because with Liang Heyu's personality, he would still choose to take it even if he had to do it again.

Although the lawyer fee for this case was only enough for a meal when he was away from home, for Liang Heyu, being a lawyer is to protect the legal rights and interests of the client.

Jingyu leaned forward with her hands on her knees, keeping her eye level with Liang Heyu.

She looked serious and said in a firm tone: "Liang Heyu, this is not your fault. You have done well enough."

Liang Heyu looked at her in shock.

"So what if you're defending a murderer? Before Luo Jianxiong was deprived of his political rights, he enjoyed his civil rights. The law should eliminate bias and safeguard everyone's right to speak. Furthermore, you're not defending a murderer, you're defending human rights."

The very existence of lawyers is to limit the abuse of public power. It is precisely because of the existence of lawyers that excessive sentencing and wrongful convictions are reduced.

Do you think Luo Jianxiong was innocent? Of course he was. But the fact that the court ultimately commuted his sentence to life imprisonment suggests that his crimes were not serious enough to warrant the death penalty.

Lawyers only protect everyone's legitimate rights and interests within the scope of the law, and do not excuse criminals. This is what ensures the absolute fairness of the law.

The ultimate goal of criminal law is not punishment, but education.

From the background image of Liang Heyu's Moments, it can be seen that he may not be absolutely righteous, but he absolutely upholds the fairness of the law. He is very passionate about this industry and even his profession and is fully committed to it.

In Liang Heyu's clear eyes, he saw Jingyu's reflection against the light, his own heartbeat was in his ears, and in his mind was the scene of Jingyu pulling him away and kicking Mao Jiahui away.

She understands him, knows him and tolerates him.

There has never been a moment like this, facing someone who makes his soul tremble.

[Ding—The favorability of the mission target Liang Heyu has increased by 20%. The current favorability is 60%]
