What's wrong with this lawyer?!

In such a situation, if you truly consider the parties involved, you shouldn't let them appeal. Going directly to prison to serve their sentence is the best option.

Soon, Professor Chen began to write. He didn't care about anything else now; he just wanted to see Tang Fangjing's aura of invincibility get shattered. He was utterly annoyed!

"Let me introduce a case from Jingzhou, which that lawyer, Tang Fangjing, is currently working on. Here's the situation..."

Professor Chen, being versed in the law, did not alter the facts of the case, nor did he leak any specific information. He simply stated that there were no grounds for a reduced sentence in this case and that ten years was already the minimum term.

Because for intentional injury leading to death, ten years is the starting point, and nobody can change that.

"And in such a situation, what did our reputable lawyer do? He let the defendant appeal. Alright, by now everyone basically knows that the chances of a verdict change in the second trial are slim, right? In a thousand cases, maybe one or two might see a verdict change."

"And yet, under such circumstances, he didn't stop the defendant from appealing. Why is that? I know many people haven't been in jail, and I want to tell you that the conditions in a detention center are much worse than in prison!"

"This only means making the defendant spend more time in a detention center without any necessity..."

He wrote a whole lot of words, ultimately suggesting that Tang Fangjing should have prevented the appeal, but instead, he actually went to fight the second trial.

They've already confessed and accepted the penalty, and received leniency for that. What more do you want!

The facts and the application of the law are both clear and certain; such an appeal is simply wasting money.

After sending it out, Professor Chen cooled down a bit, feeling that perhaps some of what he said was not quite right, but for the life of him, he couldn't figure out how the other party might turn the tables.

It's a concrete problem, not something you can solve by sheer determination.

Could there possibly be new evidence conjured out of thin air?

After Professor Chen's article went out, it quickly attracted a group of netizens.

"I don't understand the law very well, so this means there was no need to appeal the case, right?"

"Basically, that's the case. I'm also curious about what angle Lawyer Tang is planning to work from. Recanting could lead to an even heavier sentence."

"Curious, but I dare not speak carelessly, after all, Lawyer Tang might put me in there."

There are always people who are dissatisfied with Old Tang, but now they only dare to make sarcastic comments.

Although Professor Chen's article did not cause much of a public outcry, it ultimately had an impact.

At Handong University of Political Science and Law, Lu Jiayu looked at the news online and didn't understand it either. From her perspective, it seemed that there really wasn't much to do in this case, and that the appeal was more of a formality.

This is something unethical lawyers often do, but Lawyer Tang... is there really no need for that?

Or does he have some other angle to consider?

Also, because of Professor Chen's words, other lawyers started to share their opinions as well.

But their views were similar; no turning oneself in, no forgiveness, no meritorious service—getting the minimum sentence is already quite good. What else can be done?

Amid such a sentiment, Old Tang arrived at the detention center. His request had been approved, and he would meet the suspect today.

He was waiting inside when his cellphone rang. Picking it up, he saw it was a call from Old Song.

"Ah? There's more hype online? That Professor Chen, right? I haven't even signed the contract yet. It's no big deal, Old Song. A piece of cake, we can talk after I meet the person."

After hanging up, he took out the verdict and carefully read it again. After studying it for two days, he now roughly had an idea. However, this idea was a bit risky, and it felt groundbreaking.

Before proceeding, he needed to clarify the situation with the parties involved.

The wait was boring, so he casually pulled up the system panel. It was the same as usual.

It seemed it wouldn't increase anymore: seven hundred points it was.

"System, claim the mission reward!"

"Mission reward has been issued."

Not to mention the six months of life added, his life balance was close to four years now.

There was no helping it; large-scale litigation was the biggest time drain. Otherwise, it would've already broken through four years.

But the life expectancy reward was not the key. The key was the special reward.

He quickly looked at the reward column, and Old Tang was immediately overjoyed. The high completion rate had indeed brought in a good item, one that was extremely suitable for the lawyer profession!

Special Reward: Photographic Memory (Pseudo)!

So exhilarating; truly exhilarating. What is the most troublesome aspect of the legal profession? It's the vast ocean of regulations; encountering a problem means having to look it up and flip through resources.

But if you have a photographic memory... imagine what that would mean!
