What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 178: Experts and Lawyers, Who is Truly Embarrassed!_2



"Yes, and we also went to the court to check, the previous judgment has been overturned, and the provincial supreme court has made a new judgment. Now, Liu Xuehong has been exonerated," Liu Jintang said with a bitter face.

"Wait a moment, I'll make a call to ask," the leader promptly began to dial.

After ten minutes, the leader's face also looked like a bitter gourd; his friend at the court told him it was all true and that they should hurry up and return the money.

After the court overturned the original judgment, the related compensation had to be returned quickly, and if other means were used to resist, that would also be considered a refusal to execute the judgment or order.

When someone applies for court enforcement, the court must carry it out; there's no way to drag this out.

The leader, now at a loss, said, "Then... Then you guys should return the money first, and as for the rest, let's wait for the department to study it first."

The two could only agree; what else could they do, sue their own employer? What were they thinking?

No wonder when the enforcement was carried out, those old hands all kept particularly far away, letting the temps step in while only these two foolishly charged forward and even got physical.

Old Tang went back to the hotel after notifying the two, the seeds he had sown were about to bear fruit; now was just a time of waiting.

Meanwhile, in another county under Jingzhou, in Bright District, Dean Tong and a group of experts and professors had just conducted a legal lecture at an institute, and were now eating and drinking with the institute's relevant personnel.

Life down there was like this; give a lecture each day, and if there was nothing to do for the rest of the time, they would definitely eat.

At this moment, Dean Tong's phone rang. He picked up and promptly said, "Excuse me, I need to take a call."

The call was from the leadership at Handong University of Political Science and Law; it was imperative to take it immediately.

Dean Tong stepped outside to answer his phone, and soon said, "Hello Secretary Fang, what can I do for you?"

From the phone came Secretary Fang's voice, "Where are you guys now?"

"Ah, we've already reached Bright District. The progress is quite fast; we should be able to return to the university in about a week," Professor Tong replied.

Jingzhou has eight districts and four counties under its jurisdiction. Bright District is the most recently re-assimilated district. Although it is called a district, it is very far from districts where the city government, like Bright District, is situated, qualifying it as the most suburban of suburbs.

This trip was also planned; Jingnan County is the furthest county, and then from there, they would return to Jingzhou, starting from the farthest points and working their way back.

"Why are you running so fast? You've gone to Bright District already? Didn't anyone stay in Jingnan County to work on cases with Tang Fangjing?" Secretary Fang's voice carried an edge of anger.

Dean Tong was somewhat baffled and said, "Ah, Secretary, you know what Tang Fangjing is like, a bit mad, wanting to take on cases out of nowhere. We didn't have such a rule in previous trips."

"And the case he took on is particularly sensitive, making the local comrades uncomfortable, so after considering everything, we decided not to stay..."

Secretary Fang raised his voice, "And do you know what he's done? I'm telling you, he won a strong demolition case locally, and he managed to exonerate someone who was originally sentenced to one year of fixed-term imprisonment!"

"What?" Dean Tong was stunned, "But Secretary Fang, at that time he..."

"What about 'at that time', do you realize what this means? All of you ran off to Bright District, and then you talk to me about rules. That's enough; we'll discuss it more when you return!"

Secretary Fang hung up the phone quickly, leaving Dean Tong with a look of bewilderment.

He did not know what had happened; at the time, he only heard from that old man that his son had been sentenced to one year for injuring a public official during a forced demolition.

This involved the act of forced demolition.

He knew nothing more; how could it now actually have been turned into an exoneration!

How did he do it, how could this be possible? You have to understand, an exoneration, especially when it's after an appeal and the person has begun serving a sentence, and then to reverse it through a retrial, is considered by the legal community an occasion to invite a bunch of media for a proper coverage, is something to write numerous papers about, is something you can boast about for a lifetime!

Some might think it's an exaggeration, but truly, it's not at all!

What does it mean? It signifies that you've succeeded, through your own efforts, in overturning a miscarriage of justice, the significance is so profound!

For Old Tang, his task was to ensure the mission's success, so after the acquittal, he would still strive to enhance the completion rate of the mission, but to other lawyers and expert professors, the retrial leading to an exoneration itself signifies everything!

What exactly did Tang Fangjing do...

Dean Tong knew why Secretary Fang was angry; it was an excellent opportunity for fame, a perfect chance for publicity!

The university's expert group and lawyers, during a rural legal publicity campaign jointly sponsored by the Lawyers Association and the university, managed through a series of efforts to overturn a wrongful case... What a great publicity opportunity.

This sort of publicity virtually included all that was right; the university could boast about this matter for many years.

However, of all these expert professors, not a single one participated...

Although the activity was organized by the Jingzhou Lawyers Association, with so many professors involved, the university was certain to cooperate, but this time... Professor Tong was dazed as he prepared to return to the dining venue.

Just then his phone rang again, and upon checking it was Secretary Fang calling once more.

"Dean Tong, you guys are doing great, aren't you? A total of two lawyers went, and both ended up taking cases, all the expert professors left, and moreover, the expense of the cases is even being borne by the Jingzhou Lawyers Association!"
