What's wrong with this lawyer?!

```

It could be said that this is an issue that many people outside the legal profession do not pay much attention to, but it is a very real issue that has even provoked discussions in the legal academic community multiple times.

But right now, Old Tang wasn't thinking too much about this, as the road must be taken step by step.

Although we always say that the high court's demand for a retrial itself indicates the court's attitude, is a retrial definitely going to lead to a different verdict? The answer is no.

Not only is it not guaranteed, but the chances of the retrial upholding the original verdict are quite high!

Let's not even talk about criminal cases for now, just consider civil and commercial cases. According to some data previously published by the Supreme Court's Judicial Supervision Tribunal, in a recent year up to September, there were about three hundred thousand civil and commercial cases that initiated retrials, but only approximately seventy-nine thousand cases were ultimately overturned.

And among these, many cases were changed after being retried by a higher court, and the chances of a change in verdict upon such a review are relatively high.

So, it is basically certain that just because the high court demands a retrial, it doesn't mean the intermediate court will definitely change its verdict; it's not like that since our country's courts at all levels exercise independent judgment and are not interfered with by higher courts...

Old Tang entered the courthouse and then directly found his way to Criminal Court No. 3, which he was already familiar with.

This was his second time at Lincheng Intermediate Court, and he was not a stranger. He pushed open the door of Criminal Court No. 3, took a seat before anyone else arrived, and began to close his eyes and rest.

It wasn't long before people started coming in, though most of them were there to observe.

Meanwhile, outside the courthouse, Ding Deshui was slowly making his way inside. He had come over from the village specifically for today's case.

Although he could only wait now, Ding still wanted to come and see for himself.

Compared to before, Ding Deshui was much calmer now. He had also asked his lawyer friends in Lincheng, who told him not to worry, as cases that were immediately overturned to not guilty upon retrial were rare.

Because they are rare, every time such cases occur, they garner a lot of attention.

For example, there was the extremely classic case of a man who went on a blind date, had relations, was convicted of rape, and then was acquitted on retrial not long ago.

But you should know that this person never confessed from beginning to end. He did not admit guilt while incarcerated and continued to insist on appealing after getting out, appealing for two years while also garnering media attention before finally being acquitted on retrial.

However, Tang Fangjing's past "achievements" had dazzled him so much that he wanted to come and see for himself.

Huang Licheng did not come, but at this moment, he was waiting to watch the live broadcast at Tengda Law Firm, looking rather pale and nervous.

Wang Qingqing, who walked by, looked at him and said, "You don't have to worry too much. If Brother Tang dared to take your case, it means he is very confident."

Just as Huang Licheng was about to say something, Old Song on the other side frowned and said, "Bro, don't listen to her nonsense. The outcome of this case is still undetermined..."

While speaking, Old Song glanced at Wang Qingqing. He couldn't comment much on Old Wang's niece, except to say that aside from professional knowledge, she had no problems...

Hearing the implication, Huang Licheng quickly smiled and said, "Director Song, it's okay. It's already great that Director Tang could help me; it's not his fault if the lawsuit is lost."

Old Song didn't say anything more, sitting down to wait for the live broadcast to begin.

On Old Tang's side, everyone had already arrived. The prosecutor from Lincheng City Procuratorate was present with a serious expression.

"All rise!" Along with the clerk's voice, the Judgment Chief and the judges entered the courtroom. In this case, the collegial panel consisted of five members.

The live broadcast signal was connected, and the video in the broadcast room began to stutter.

"What's going on, why is it so laggy? Has it not started yet?"

"What the hell are you doing? @Court Open Web, what kind of crappy server is this!"

In this day and age, netizens have the least tolerance for lag and are prone to anger whenever they encounter it online.

In the Capital, the maintenance staff at the Court Open Web were almost numb. They genuinely wanted to request their superiors to stop broadcasting this particular Lawyer Tang's cases.

Every time that Lawyer Tang's cases were broadcast, it would cause the server to crash, leaving the technical team so frantic that they wanted to sacrifice a colleague to appease the server gods.

Thus, there was a saying in Court Open Web that Lawyer Tang was good at everything, except he is a bit of a hassle...

In Magic City, Wang Jing had prepared early and was now watching the live broadcast intently.

She didn't understand why, but her advisor had been particularly irritable these days. A minor flaw in a senior's thesis, which usually would only warrant a few words, resulted in him being scolded for an entire hour yesterday...

It was said that the senior had come out of the office looking dazed...

In such an atmosphere at the Lincheng Intermediate Court, the case had begun.

The procedure was the same as always. As the defender for the applicant of the retrial, Old Tang was to speak first, explaining why he was applying and what his reasons were.

"Applicant: Huang Licheng, 45 years old,... born, Han ethnicity, residing in Changlu County, Lincheng City, Handong Province."

"Defense attorney..."

"Cause of action: Huang Licheng dissatisfied with the judgment... made by Lincheng City Intermediate People's Court..."

"Facts and reasons: First, the judgment document from Lincheng City Intermediate People's Court mistakenly identified my client, Huang Licheng, as causing trouble. This judgment is clearly incorrect."

"The village committee of Er Tou Village, as a grassroots self-governing organization, does not have the right to demolish property. Without communicating compensation with my client, they employed idle laborers to forcefully destroy the forest, which is a blatant illegal act!"

"And my client's resistance was not only directed against the three individuals who were forcefully removing him but should be against the entire demolition group, as the village's excavators had already begun deforestation at that time."
