What's wrong with this lawyer?!

```

To be honest, Wang Xiangnan had been a criminal court judge for quite some time and had seen all kinds of lawyers.

There were plenty like Zhang Wei, who could turn a misdemeanor into a felony, or argue a civil case as if it were criminal—such instances were not uncommon.

Just recently, he had encountered a "smart" lawyer whose client, taking advantage of her position, took company property home for personal use. These items weren't cheap; after a judicial appraisal, they were valued at seventy thousand yuan.

After consideration, the prosecution charged her with embezzlement, a crime which according to the criminal law, starts at the threshold of sixty thousand yuan for significant amounts, recommending a one-year imprisonment sentence.

Then this "brilliant" attorney found that there was no clear labor contract between the company and the employee, and the company management was extremely chaotic with all kinds of financial co-mingling.

Of course, he was there to make a not guilty defense, and he started by saying there was no employment relationship, so naturally, there could be no embezzlement.

The essence of embezzlement, according to the Supreme Court's interpretation, should be a kind of corruption within one's duty.

Without an employment relationship, naturally there is no duty, hence no embezzlement, no crime. It made sense, so formidable that the prosecutor couldn't retort.

Then... the court ruled, guilty of theft, and that seventy thousand constituted a huge amount, with a sentencing standard between three to ten years. Yes, starting from three years.

In the end, she was sentenced to three years.

From a god's eye view, one might think if the lawyer was foolish, or if the client too was foolish, to make such a move?

But who knows, there are quite a few "clever" lawyers and clients around...

You might think Zhang Wei was joking, but reality can be more absurd than fiction.

However, Wang Xiangnan had not yet seen a defense strategy that actually resulted in a lighter sentence despite the heavier charge.

Moreover, from any angle, the logic was sound: there were facts, evidence supporting the facts, and relevant laws.

That was already sufficient.

After carefully reviewing the content again, Wang Xiangnan looked up at the pale-faced young man in front of him, genuinely curious about how his brain worked.

If this case were successful, it could be classified as an extremely classic case, the kind that could be used as teaching material by professors at the Politics and Law University! Stay tuned for updates on empire

Or perhaps, this is precisely what a lawyer should do.

An appeal doesn't mean additional punishment, but in this case, there was no added punishment; aggravating the charge and sentencing are two different things.

"Judge Wang, this should be a valid reason for an appeal, right?" Old Tang spoke up again from across the table.

Wang Xiangnan's expression was complex, "No problem, I'll submit it to the high court in the next few days."

Alright, after submitting the appeal and the copies, the next step was to continue waiting, waiting for the second trial.

Upon leaving the courthouse, Old Tang hopped back onto his beloved little electric scooter. The Yuefu Residential Complex had completely renovated the charging sheds, much improved from before.

Back at the law firm, Old Tang walked in to find Old Song berating someone, with several intern lawyers cowed into silence.

"Alright, alright, Old Song, don't be too harsh on them. They are here to learn, not to be scolded!" Old Tang casually interjected.

Huh? Old Song was taken aback, what do you mean by that?

The intern lawyers breathed a sigh of relief; Lawyer Tang was indeed kind, their efforts in making videos for him were not in vain.

However, Old Tang wasn't finished speaking.

"Scolding solves nothing. If the case files are poorly written, just rewrite them a few times from different perspectives, right? Keep up the hard work, the future is yours!"

After saying this, Old Tang returned to his office, leaving a few bewildered intern lawyers outside...

Rewrite the case files several times? Is that even possible?

Writing one case file leaves you with barely enough breath, and now rewrite it multiple times, huh?

Back in his office, Old Tang started studying his skill, feeling it was just too lackluster.

Just ten minutes, and his mind was overloaded; he couldn't cope, hardly justifying the seven hundred percent completion rate.

What's more, he had started using the system's panel to watch movies a long time ago. As long as he remembered the movie well, he could rewatch it using the system.

Of course, anything he had forgotten wouldn't appear on the system panel.

So it seemed, this so-called Photographic Memory was just rewarding him again for something he had already discovered... how infuriating!

Yet he wouldn't complain; the system was too important to him. Without it, he, Tang Fangjing, wouldn't be where he is now.

Well, better get back to reading. One must never cease learning.

He was still on the same "Guide to Mental Illness Relief"; he wasn't reading quickly. The book, though not purely academic, was packed with professional jargon, making it an arduous read.

Such is cross-disciplinary learning. Like someone outside the legal field reading law books, after a while, they'd feel nauseous; they could recognize every word, but putting them together required serious thought.

Flipping to the earlier page where he activated the skill, remembering content and understanding it were two different things, to say nothing of how his Photographic Memory turned the system panel into a mere scanner...

Just as he got back into reading, he immediately realized something was off!

The stuff in the book seemed as if he had studied it countless times before. Passages that once took ages to read and understand, now he instantly grasped as his eyes scanned over them!
