What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Therefore, Wu Yundan could only say, "There are three types, the minor criminal cases that the victim has evidence to prove and that the Procuratorate does not prosecute."

"Another is when the victim has evidence that the defendant has violated their personal or property rights and should be held criminally responsible according to law, and there is evidence that the victim has filed a complaint, but the public security organ or Procuratorate does not hold the defendant criminally responsible."

These were all things that she, a professional case registration clerk, knew by heart.

"Then, take a look at the third type, and take another look at the materials I just presented, along with the detailed content of my lawsuit filing. Look at them carefully."

Old Tang remained calm. If the other side didn't look carefully and refused to accept his case, he would see them in the intermediate court, and if that didn't work, the high court!

If that still didn't work, he would go to The Capital and ask the Supreme Court what to do when their judiciary interpretations were not followed by other courts.

This was a rather obscure matter, but as we have said, this is the advantage of having written law. If there is such a provision and all my actions conform to it, you have to accept it!

Previously, it was rare because it was already not easy to go through the previous procedures, let alone come to court to prosecute oneself.

By then, the impact would probably be felt throughout the courts in Jingzhou...

Opposite him, Wu Yundan's forehead began to sweat; she indeed had been negligent.

There had never been a similar situation in all these years, so her thinking had long been fixed—seeing blackmail and extortion cases as public prosecutions automatically.

Seeing that the other side finally reacted, Old Tang started to pull out his evidence again.

"This is the identity information and contact details of the other party."

"And these two are video recordings. The first video was taken by my client with a cellphone when retrieving surveillance footage at the police station. If the court deems this evidence unusable, then I request the court to retrieve the surveillance footage from that time."

After all, videotaping surveillance with a cell phone is not firsthand evidence. While it might be acceptable in civil cases, it could be problematic in criminal ones.

Besides, there are the call recordings and the police station's administrative penalty records.

The examination for a criminal self-prosecution is more stringent than other cases; the evidence must be complete.

But the chain of evidence, it's very difficult to say—it's complex, yet simple at the same time.

You just need to prove that the other party indeed committed the act of blackmail and extortion and that it has reached the level stipulated by criminal law; then it is sufficient for filing a case.

Old Tang had completed all the other procedural matters.

After carefully reviewing the materials in her hand, Wu Yundan looked at Tang Fangjing and said, "Lawyer Tang, at first glance, the evidence seems to be complete, but the specific details need to be reviewed by the registration chamber."

However, given the current situation, whether to file this case or not is no longer up to the registration chamber to decide; it needs approval from higher-up leaders.

Old Tang, of course, had no objections and nodded, "That's fine with me. I'll be in Jingzhou waiting, contact me anytime if you need additional information."

After speaking, he picked up his huge briefcase and continued his shaky stride out of the courthouse.

Behind him, several clerks watched his departing figure with complex expressions in their eyes.

Back at the hotel, Old Tang began to clear his mind; he had done everything that he could do to the limit.

Or rather, to a lawyer's limit.

If they still refused to file the case in the end, even if he had great abilities, there would be no way to solve the problem.

He just had to wait.

The Gaoxin District Court was engaged in an intense examination, while on the other side in Jingzhou, at Guangming District Court, Kang Xinxin and Feng Xuegong had already taken their seats in the defendant's dock.

Feng Xuegong's wife didn't want to hire a lawyer for him, and it would be somewhat difficult for him to defend himself, so after careful consideration, Old Han had another lawyer from the firm defend him.

Kang Xinxin wore an expressionless face; her parents sat in the spectator gallery, sobbing uncontrollably.

The assets Kang Xinxin had transferred out, many had gone to her mother, which was in the name of Ye Liping that Old Tang had discovered during his bank transaction investigations.

Ye Liping had used some other means to transfer the money, which, after two or more transfers, was basically very difficult to recover.

But then suddenly, her daughter was taken in.

During the previous examination and prosecution phase, she had negotiated unknown numbers of times with Zhao Lixiang's family, discussing returning the money to see if they could come to an understanding.

But Zhao Lixiang refused.

More than a million yuan had been recouped through enforcement, about half, while the other half was difficult to trace, either repaid as debts or converted into other assets.

And Zhao Lixiang didn't want to talk about understanding at all; he just wanted to send people to prison.

Now, there weren't many mitigating defenses that the defense could offer. One was pleading guilty and expressing remorse, but without an understanding letter, there was no ground to talk about remorse.

The other was self-reporting.

And this was quickly refuted by the public prosecutor.

"The criminal suspect, who has been subjected to compulsory measures and truthfully confesses other crimes of his own that the judicial authorities are not yet aware of, is considered to have self-reported. However, the defendant did not make a truthful confession."

On the other hand, Feng Xuegong had merit in making accusations; as soon as he was apprehended, he spilled everything like bamboo tubes spilling beans, revealing all the details.

Although he didn't mention his own cell phone recordings, he still displayed meritorious behavior!

Another dispute was whether Kang Xinxin's false accusation had caused serious consequences.

"The prosecution holds that Kang Xinxin's false accusation led to her ex-husband's arrest and the spread of relevant information online, resulting in widespread dissemination of the case."
