Inside the law firm, Wang Daoren felt a bit of a headache looking at Wu Tao's parents in front of him.
"Mr. Wu, my advice is that you don't even think about bargaining with the other party. Just raise the compensation amount."
"If we can get a letter of forgiveness from the other party, then Wu Tao's sentence won't be too long."
That being said, Wang Daoren actually didn't have too much of a headache.
Over the years as a lawyer, he has seen all kinds of clients.
Especially in criminal defense cases involving legal aid, he has met all kinds of family members.
Those who started arguing with the victim right away, those who threatened not to pay a penny, and those who directly fought with the victim ended up in jail...
That really can be said to be a lot.
Of course, this is the first time I have seen someone like Qiu Xiaoshuai stabbing me in the back before the trial even started.
He also knew that Wu Tao's parents were planning to bargain.
I feel that I cannot offer a high price at once, I have to offer a lower price, and then let the other party bargain, and then they will give another price.
Wang Daoren's suggestion was to be straightforward, pay double compensation, and reach an understanding with the utmost sincerity.
Wu Jianjun hesitated for a moment and said, "Lawyer Wang, but...what if the other party still refuses to agree and offers a higher price? What should we do?"
"You can't just say whatever he says is the right amount."
Wang Daoren shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Wu, your son has been arrested now. It can be said that the initiative is in the hands of others."
fantuan.
He couldn't say anything too harsh, because in criminal cases, the final say was made by others.
Unless you think that your son is in jail anyway, it doesn't matter if he serves five years or ten years.
"But... Lawyer Wang, in this matter, shouldn't we just compensate my son for the money he made from his videos? Why should we pay him more? Why?!"
Yes, why? That Zhou Yi didn’t suffer any loss. On the contrary, all the money my son earned over the years was lost to him. What else can I do?
"Mr. Wu, this isn't a matter of whether there's a loss or not. You still have to pay the money in the end. They're definitely going to file a civil lawsuit for incidental compensation..."
This is a common case of infringement-related criminal cases, with civil cases attached to criminal cases.
Criminal prosecution is the state’s punishment on you, while civil prosecution is the punishment on the victim.
Wang Daoren tried to persuade him for a long time but to no avail. The other party was determined to lose whatever he earned.
There is no other way. When encountering such a client, the case still has to be handled.
…………
At home in Yuefu Community, Zhou Yi is dubbing the stickman animation made by the company.
At this moment, the cell phone rang and I had to put down my work to answer the call.
It was an unfamiliar call, and the location shown was Luzhou.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Is this Mr. Zhou? I'm Wu Jianguo, Wu Tao's father."
Wu Tao, Zhou Yi knew that when Lao Zhou informed him about the arrest, he had mentioned the person behind the account called "Ah Yi".
Wu Tao's parents came to see me, and it seemed that the other party's lawyer had come to see me before.
Zhou Yi was also shocked when he received the call. He didn't expect that it was lawyer Wang Daoren.
Speaking of which, this guy was also miserable, as he was killed by Qiu Xiaoshuai with a stab in the back.
I didn’t expect that I would be representing this criminal case again.
And Jingzhou feels so small. In the legal profession, you know everyone you go to...
It’s just that Wang Daoren said that the other party was willing to compensate Zhou Yi for his losses, but Zhou Yi did not agree, mainly because Wu Tao had gone too far before.
Zhou Yi still feels angry when he thinks about the situation. The feeling of being ridiculed and then blocked is probably something only those who have experienced it personally can understand.
I really want to pick up a knife and fight the other person to the death!
But since he was so polite, Zhou Yi also said: "Oh, Mr. Wu, hello, hello, why are you looking for me..."
"Um...Mr. Zhou, you see, our Wu Tao has been arrested and may even go to jail. He's a good kid, but he's not on the right path. Could you please have some pity on us and give us a letter of forgiveness?"
"Really, Mr. Zhou, he also knows he's wrong."
"Mr. Zhou, don't worry about the money. We'll pay out whatever Wu Tao earns, and you won't lose a cent."
"Look, Mr. Zhou, we'll compensate you. You won't lose anything anyway. My Wu Tao is essentially working for you for free. So, look at this letter of understanding..."
Zhou Yi didn't quite understand. He thought Wu Tao's parents wanted to talk to him about compensation, but they actually said they would pay as much as they earned.
This sounds like it's okay, right? Look, my children have been arrested and all the money I earned has been lost to you.
You have nothing to lose and you even made some free money.
It feels like I'm making a profit from this!
So Zhou Yi quickly replied: "Mr. Wu, what you said is wrong. The money I earned from the video is what I deserve!"
"Now you're just returning the money. This was my loss in the first place!"
"Besides, I told Wu Tao at the beginning that this money can be earned, and I just need him to indicate the source."
"But he cursed me and blocked me directly. What do you think I should do?"
Wu Jianjun felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. After thinking for a while, he said, "Yes, Mr. Zhou, my Wu Tao did do something wrong, and he knows it's wrong."
"And you really didn't lose anything. You didn't post videos on that platform, so without my Wu Tao, you really wouldn't have made that money!"
