Ideal Law Firm is located in an office building somewhere in Jingzhou.
Zou Sujuan pushed the door open and walked in. Bao Yongning, who had already made an appointment, came forward to greet her and said, "Ms. Zou, come and sit here. Sit here."
After Zou Sujuan sat down, Bao Yongning said, "We were chatting online before, and the specific details of the case were unclear. Now, please tell us what the situation is."
Zou Sujuan began to talk. She actually didn't know much. She just knew that her son took a lighter and set fire to the doormat in front of a house in the next unit.
"Did you order it on purpose out of revenge?" Bao Yongning asked with a frown.
His question hit the key point. Arson must be intentional. Of course, for those who have obligations, inaction may also constitute a crime.
Normally, it must be intentional.
"It seems so." Zou Sujuan said after thinking about it.
"That's going to be a tough one!" Bao Yongning shook his head. "The public security authorities filed a case so quickly, which means they have solid evidence. Do you have surveillance cameras at the door?"
Zou Sujuan knew this, and quickly nodded, saying, "There are surveillance cameras."
"Then I think the same thing. There was surveillance footage of your son setting fire to the doormat, and there's a motive. This is really difficult to handle. You should also know that arson is a serious crime. Even if your son is a minor, he will bear criminal responsibility."
Hearing this, Zou Sujuan suddenly became anxious: "What should I do? Lawyer Bao, I'll pay you any amount of money as long as you can get my son out."
Bao Yongning smiled inconspicuously upon hearing this and said, "In that case, I'll try to find a solution first, but let me be clear, it's unlikely."
A mature lawyer is like this. He doesn't need to make a final statement. Even if he is 90% sure, he will say he is 1% sure.
The situation may not be so serious at first, but if you meet some lawyers, they will tell you that the situation is very serious and if you don’t take action quickly, the consequences will be very serious!
To put it simply, Madam, you don't want your husband to be sentenced to death, do you?
They exaggerate the case, charge you a relatively high fee, and appear to be working hard.
Even if I didn't succeed in the end, it was because the case was too difficult, not because I didn't work hard.
The opposite of this is another approach. For example, if a 17-year-old minor kills someone, his father, who does not understand the law, comes to ask a lawyer to ensure that he must not be sentenced to death.
An experienced lawyer is a walking psychologist. He can understand your thoughts with just a little bit of skill and act very embarrassed.
Then after you beg and plead, they finally agree, and charge you a pretty penny...
As for the case? There is no need to worry about it. There is no death penalty for minors, so why should we worry about it?
You see, this is how they make money.
Of course, this type of lawyer isn't truly a bad lawyer. A truly bad lawyer's motto is: Winning a case isn't skill; it's taking on cases that are unwinnable, giving the client hope, and ultimately losing the case while still satisfying the client—that's skill!
Sometimes I think that some industries have a bad reputation for a reason, and if we want to change that, we can only say that we have a long way to go...
Since you have agreed, sign the contract and pay the money.
After the formalities were completed, Bao Yongning began to apply and had to meet Jiang Zifeng first.
Bao Yongning is still very confident about being released on bail, after all, he is a minor.
Two days later, in Guangming District Detention Center.
Juvenile offenders are also detained separately from adult offenders in detention centers.
Jiang Zifeng has adapted a little in the past two days, but the feeling of losing freedom is too painful.
And today, he was notified that he had to meet a lawyer, and he was really excited for a long time.
Get out of here quickly, I really don’t want to stay here anymore.
Soon Jiang Zifeng saw Bao Yongning, and his eyes were filled with tears.
Bao Yongning comforted him, "Okay, Xiao Jiang, don't cry. Now I'll ask you questions and you'll answer them. Remember, you must tell me everything you know, understand?"
Jiang Zifeng nodded vigorously and said: "No problem
Uncle lawyer."
Bao Yongning began to ask questions, and it became clear that Jiang Zifeng had set the doormat on fire in order to "scare the other party", causing the door to be burned black and problems with the surveillance camera above.
On the surface, it seemed like nothing really happened, but that’s what arson is like.
After everything was clarified, Bao Yongning said goodbye and left. Now he was certain of one thing: Jiang Zifeng would definitely be held criminally responsible.
This has nothing to do with whether the defense is brilliant or not. The surveillance video is the most direct evidence, and it is useless even if you say something brilliant.
But it can still be manipulated in the middle, and considering the status of a minor, it is easy to impose a suspended sentence.
The criminal records of minors will be sealed. According to the regulations of the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Ministry of Public Security, minors who have committed crimes under five years old can be issued a certificate of no criminal record in the future.
Yes, you heard it right. If a minor commits a crime and needs to obtain a certificate of no criminal record due to work requirements in the future, it can be obtained. It is the same as that obtained by a normal person. There is no difference.
Because his criminal record is sealed, no one can check it.
Of course, there is always a "but" in legal provisions. You will definitely not be able to pass the mandatory inquiry such as political review, as the Civil Service Law has clear provisions.
So we need to find the victim and have a good talk with him.
"So, let me go find him and ask him to help say this? It's not easy, right?" Zou Sujuan said hesitantly.
