Inside the office.
Having stayed up late the night before, Su Bai felt a little sleepy after arriving at the firm and decided to take a short nap.
But just as he began drifting off...
Knock, knock, knock.
Someone knocked on the office door. Immediately afterward, Li Xuezhen walked in, her eyes smiling and excitement showing on her small face.
"Lawyer Su..."
"Am I disturbing you?"
Su Bai raised his head and said with a smile, "No."
"I just wanted to rest my eyes for a bit. Did you need something?"
"Oh."
"Yes, actually. Lawyer Su, I found a promising case. Would you like to take a look?"
Seeing Li Xuezhen's beaming face and the stars in her eyes...
Su Bai knew this had to be a major case.
"Let me have the materials."
Su Bai smiled and held out his hand.
Li Xuezhen obediently handed him the materials.
Su Bai took them and skimmed through them, getting a general understanding of the situation.
This case...
How should he put it?
There were indeed some issues.
In his view, if the contents of the materials were accurate...
This case directly involved the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate.
Because it concerned an old case in which both the first- and second-instance judgments had already been delivered.
It now involved the question of a retrial.
According to the description in the materials...
Thirteen years earlier, the client in this case, Jiang Wei, had been charged with home-invasion robbery, forcing someone to have sex, and murder.
At the time, the Kai City Intermediate People's Court in Zhongyuan Province had sentenced him to death.
During its review, the Supreme People's Court had rejected the death sentence and commuted it to life imprisonment.
But Jiang Wei had refused to accept the judgment.
