Chapter 223: Chapter 109 Laws are not just for reading; they are for using!_3
"In light of the above, the public prosecutor believes that the defendant Kang Xinxin, suspected of the crime of framing and false accusation, has led to serious consequences. We suggest a sentence of seven years in prison and a fine of four hundred thousand yuan!"
Aside from Zhao Lixiang, if there\'s anyone who despises Kang Xinxin, it is undoubtedly the public security and the prosecution.
Especially the latter, the wrongful arrest resulted in the whole prosecution office having evaluation issues last year.
It truly wasn\'t a good year for them.
And not to mention due to this incident, they were ranted at online for a long time, with all sorts of things being said.
But, the prosecution didn\'t retaliate out of personal grievances. The sentencing proposed is quite normal; framing and false accusation, if leading to serious consequences such as causing the victim to be criminally detained or arrested, is already considered a serious consequence.
Moreover, this crime disrupts the judicial order, so the social impact is very important.
Kang Xinxin\'s act of posting the matter online, which led to widespread dissemination and caused Jingzhou City\'s judicial authorities to be reviled, is likewise an extremely serious consequence.
Yes, that is to say, Kang Xinxin herself added fuel to her own sentencing...
However, considering that she did show some remorse and admitted her guilt, she wasn\'t given the maximum sentence; otherwise, it wouldn\'t have ended with just seven years.
Kang Xinxin could no longer stand steady, even though her lawyer had mentioned it before, now, hearing the prosecution directly suggest a sentence of seven years in court, she couldn\'t help herself.
Because she herself had caused this severe situation...
But at that time, she was only thinking about throwing dirty water on Tang Fangjing.
Who could have thought this action would actually affect the sentencing!
The lawyer sat down without saying anything, and the defendant\'s final statement began.
"I, I really know I was wrong, I\'ve been scared of being poor since I was little, I was wrong, please, can you not send me to prison? Zhao Lixiang, are you there? I\'m kneeling for you, we\'ve been married for two years, isn\'t there any affection?"
In the visitor\'s gallery, Zhao Lixiang actually was there, but he didn\'t speak.
The woman in the defendant\'s dock, who had walked with him into the hall of marriage, who had been together for two years, sharing the same bed, was now crying bitterly and seemed quite pitiful.
Yet, he felt unspeakably refreshed.
Her talk of feelings made him truly laugh...
Now, he had developed an immense fear of so-called marriage.
The Judgment Chief stopped her statement, and the trial concluded.
This trial was actually the second court session.
After the court was adjourned, the court began to read the verdict.
"The defendant Kang Xinxin, convicted of framing and false accusation, causing serious consequences, according to Article 243 of the Criminal Law, is sentenced as follows:"
"Kang Xinxin is sentenced to seven years in prison and fined four hundred thousand yuan. If dissatisfied with this judgment, an appeal may be filed with the higher court upon receipt of this verdict..."
Kang Xinxin couldn\'t stand firmly; seven years, how many sets of seven years does one have in a lifetime?
She was still young and beautiful, which was her capital, but after spending years in prison, would she still be the same person when she got out?
"The defendant Feng Xuegong, convicted of the crime of instructing in criminal methods, with serious circumstances, is sentenced as follows according to Article 295 of the Criminal Law:"
"Feng Xuegong is sentenced to five years in prison and fined fifty thousand yuan..."
The case of Feng Xuegong also reached a level of serious circumstances, as his instruction in criminal methods led Kang Xinxin to act, seriously disrupting social order.
Quite simply, because of this case, marriage once again suffered a severe blow.
When divorcing, if the woman encounters conflict with the man, she could use such a criminal charge to directly incarcerate the man to take over the joint property alone.
The serious disruption to social order was not given a higher sentence solely due to Feng Xuegong\'s expression of remorse and admission of guilt.
After the verdict was pronounced, Kang Xinxin immediately expressed her intent to appeal in court, while Feng Xuegong did not appeal.
This case was not broadcast live, so the last thing Old Tang saw was the verdict.
Zhao Lixiang, as the victim, had this right. He sent the judgment result to Tang Fangjing, saying, "Lawyer Tang, no need for superfluous words, if you have any issues in the future, just call me!"
Ever since his graduation, he had been dealing with procedures, not being good at social niceties.
He was not good with words, but he knew Lawyer Tang could feel his sentiments.
If Lawyer Tang needed help, he would surely assist!
From now on, he probably won\'t think of marrying again. He will simply take care of his parents in their old age, and once they pass away, he shouldn\'t have any more vulnerabilities.
Old Tang looked at the verdict on his phone and couldn\'t help but smile.
It was evident that this time, Jingzhou\'s judicial system really handed down the maximum sentence.
"Right, well done. Kang Xinxin posted the news online, thinking she could manipulate the judiciary. What a joke."
Llittle did she know that public opinion is a double-edged sword; anyone who thinks they can manipulate it will eventually be devoured by it.
The criticisms she had leveled against the judiciary turned into her sentencing...
What a pity, Kang Xinxin is going to appeal, and I can\'t get the mission reward for now.
However, the mission was completed by the book, so I estimate a completion score of two hundred, but anything beyond that is uncertain.
The review time for filing a private prosecution is fifteen days, which means, no matter how much the case filing department drags its feet, after fifteen days, they must give a result, to file the case or not to file it.
If they don\'t file it, they need to explain why.
On the tenth day, Old Tang received a call from the Gaoxin District Court.
"So you\'ve decided to file the case, right? Okay, then does the court deem it necessary to retrieve the video evidence? Good, I got it, I\'ll submit an additional application."
The previously shot cellphone video of the surveillance wasn\'t enough, so Old Tang quickly submitted an additional application, requesting the court to obtain the relevant surveillance video.
At the Zhongxiang Road police station, Officer Zhao was giving a few young people a stern lecture.
They had inexplicably come to blows, but fortunately, there were no serious injuries, just mutual assault.
Just then, the station leader called him into the office with a very odd expression on his face.
"Take a look, Lawyer Tang went to the prosecutor\'s office without success, and now he\'s self-prosecuting at the court!"
Officer Zhao hurriedly looked at the document, which was a request for assistance from the Gaoxin District Court.
"The sub-bureau passed it to us today. Tang Fangjing has initiated a private criminal prosecution at the Gaoxin District Court. The court has accepted it, and now they want to obtain the previous surveillance video evidence."
Officer Zhao let out a long sigh, knowing full well the physical condition of Lawyer Tang.
To this point, the other party was still desperately fighting for that case, really desperately, with his condition moments away from being fatal.
People online were calling him the toughest bone in Jingzhou, and now it seems the reputation was well-deserved.
...
Days had passed, and Guo Shengfang had already forgotten the incident.
Threatening Chi Yan over the phone was just tough talk. After all, since the other party had already hired a lawyer, starting a lawsuit against them was possible.
But so much time had passed that she didn\'t care anymore.
Thinking about her many days in detention, if they still wanted money, that would be highly unreasonable.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. When she went to open it, a police officer was there.
"Hello, is this Guo Erdan\'s residence?" the officer asked.
"Yes, it is. That\'s my father. Do you need him for something?" Guo Shengfang said with some suspicion.
"I\'m here to deliver a court summons to your father, and you\'re Guo Shengfang, right?"
"I am. Does this mean I have a summons too?"
Guo Shengfang\'s first reaction was that they had actually sued!
This was troublesome; she would have to spend money again.
"Yes, please sign the receipt for you and your father."
After looking over the documents, Guo Shengfang was startled: "A private criminal complaint? What\'s that? Isn\'t a lawsuit about money?"
She didn\'t understand the law, but she could grasp the meaning of the words "criminal".
The judicial police officer simply said, "The plaintiff has filed a private criminal prosecution. You won\'t be detained for now, but both of you must attend the court session!"
After signing, the officer took the receipt and left.
Guo Shengfang took out her phone to look up private criminal prosecution and was stunned.
This private criminal prosecution meant that she was being accused of a criminal offense, which meant if she lost, she would end up in prison!
"How could those two be so malicious? Isn\'t it enough that I\'ve already been detained for so many days?"
In her anger, Guo Shengfang called her brother, Guo Shenglong.
"Hey, brother, I just received a court summons. It\'s not about money; those two want to send Dad and me to prison!"
