What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 822: Chapter 264: Innocent? Tang Fangjing’s purpose couldn’t possibly be that simple!

Tao Dongli may or may not know about this case. He knows of it, but also doesn’t.

He doesn’t know because he wasn’t the judge for the second trial, nor was he a member of the collegial panel.

However, for cases of this type, everyone in the court usually hears about them to some extent.

Even without knowing the specifics, one could guess that if you really get serious about such a case, it’s hard to claim that the judgment is completely without issues.

But that’s not the key issue!

The assistant in front of him asked quizzically: “Master, even if Tang Fangjing comes, at most, it would just result in a changed verdict, right? Why such a big reaction… like you’ve been sentenced to death?”

He truly didn’t understand. Although the rate of retrials resulting in a change of verdict in criminal cases was very low, the sheer number of cases means it wasn’t rare for criminal cases to be overturned and end in acquittal.

At most, both the first-instance and second-instance courts would bear some responsibility. With so many cases each year, miscarriages of justice are normal.

Tao Dongli looked at his assistant and said, “You don’t understand. If it were any other lawyer, there’d be no need to worry, but this is Tang Fangjing. Haven’t you seen his previous videos, or at least heard about what he did in Lincheng last time?”

“That man doesn’t solely aim for simple case overturning or acquittals!”

Yes, that’s the crux of the matter!

Tao Dongli had encountered Old Tang in the past and had been impacted by his determination. He is a man who won’t rest until he achieves his goal.

“Not aiming for acquittals and overturned verdicts? Acquittance is simple?” The assistant was a bit confused.

For an ordinary lawyer, getting an acquittal in a case would be bragged about for a long time, especially if it involved an overturn after sentencing in a retrial, which could be boasted about for an entire lifetime.

And now, his master, a Criminal Court judge, was saying that for Tang Fangjing, acquittal was simple?

“Master, if not simple acquittals, then what’s the standard?”

Tao Dongli pointed at him and said, “With such a big case last time in Lincheng, it seems you weren’t paying attention at all. Tang Fangjing always insists on getting to the very heart of matters!”

“With that previous case, who could block his exacting scrutiny, who would dare to block it? Just think for yourself what it would look like if he really scrutinized this case thoroughly!”

Getting to the very heart of matters… The assistant thought carefully. If one really dug to the bottom, the situation… was indeed frightening to contemplate.

Tao Dongli stopped talking and sat in his chair, pondering. This matter wouldn’t have much impact on him, but… his bonus for the year would likely be gone.

He didn’t actually think Lincheng had any good means. Tang Fangjing’s demeanor was always so calm, always discussing “what various legal provisions stipulate”, but at his core, there was a sense of frenzy!

He’s the kind of man who, if pushed far enough, would dare to hang himself right in front of the relevant department’s doors!

Who would dare to provoke such a person, for fear that one day he might actually hang himself at a department’s entrance… and the consequences would be too dreadful to contemplate.

So this time, Tao Dongli figured that Lincheng would likely dispense a swift judgment to dissuade him.

After all, it’s nothing more than some minor troubles of Lindong County; the most that could be said is that errors in judgment occurred within both the court and the procuratorate. It’s not a big deal.

Tao Dongli’s thoughts were very similar to those of Wen Weilin; after all, Lao Wen had also been a judge.

In Jingzhou, Old Tang watched the video on his computer and chuckled, “They worked very quickly this time.”

Across from Old Tang, Yan Xueling also smiled and said, “Director Wang specially recruited a professional outsourcing team to work on it. They do it very quickly.”

“That’s good then. Xiaoyan, you’ve been at Tengda for a few years now, haven’t you?” Old Tang asked thoughtfully.

Yan Xueling nodded. She had been mixing with another law firm in the past – who could have imagined that she would stay involved with Tengda up to now.

After thinking it over, Miss Xiao Yan said, “Director Tang, there’s no need to say the rest. I work at Tengda because it’s a good place and I’m comfortable here.”

“It has nothing to do with certain people.”

Old Tang was taken aback by her words, but soon laughed, “You guys… go get busy.”

Even with his strong connections, some things could not be solved.

Perhaps one day, when he no longer has to fight tooth and nail, he might return to ordinary life.

But until then, he absolutely cannot have any vulnerabilities!

The video editing was smooth, and Old Tang began to do the voiceover – something he hadn’t done in a while.

“Hello everyone, I’m your old friend Tang Fangjing. Today’s case is…”

Since many of his video viewers are workers, Old Tang always speaks in great detail about labor-related cases, and he uses plain language in his videos.

Talking about this or that regulation seems professional, but if viewers wanted to know about regulations, they could simply read the legal texts themselves. Why watch his video?

It’s essential to speak in terms that everyone can understand.

Voice recording until the end, Old Tang hesitated near the microphone but still uttered, “Everyone, I’m back!”

He was still Tang Fangjing who couldn’t be beaten down. As long as he lived, he would always be there!

The entire video lasted only eight minutes. He checked it over, found no issues, and then uploaded the video to the major platforms.

In Magic City, Wang Jing saw the update of Old Tang’s video as soon as it was out and was so excited she couldn’t contain herself!

She had been enjoying the gossip online all the while, but all the information on the internet was informal; neither Tengda nor Tang Fangjing himself had posted any updates.
