Chapter 173: Hoping for a suspended sentence on appeal? Dream on! A death sentence!
"Lawyer Su..."
Li Xuezhen turned to look at Su Bai.
"In Zhang Dahu's case, Qian Wei bore responsibility as the presiding judge. Then, judging by the evidence the prosecution submitted..."
"Given Li Mu's position and what he did, shouldn't he bear some responsibility too...?"
Su Bai smiled.
Li Xuezhen had the right idea!
But they weren't there yet. They had to take it one step at a time, didn't they?
Su Bai had already made arrangements for all of this. Since Zhang Dahu had entrusted White Jun Law Firm with representing him in this case,
there certainly wouldn't be any unexpected problems. Everyone who deserved to go to prison would go.
Not one would get away!
The hearing ended.
Qian Wei's eyes were filled with resentment. He refused to accept the first-instance judgment and wanted to appeal again.
Hadn't he merely been overly subjective, resulting in an erroneous judgment?
Normally, an offense like that would most likely result in a suspended sentence.
One year suspended for one year, or two years suspended for two.
Yet they had given him three and a half years of actual prison time?!
He simply couldn't accept it. He was definitely appealing!
Liu Jun came over to Qian Wei then.
"Planning to appeal?"
"Yes! An appeal!"
Qian Wei nodded emphatically.
At the second instance, he would only be facing the prosecution. He just needed to find some new evidence or establish that the first-instance sentence was too harsh.
Then,
he could still obtain an acquittal, a reduced sentence, or a suspended sentence.
Qian Wei understood this process very well.
Looking at Qian Wei, Liu Jun knew what he was thinking.
In fact, losing this case had also dealt a blow
