Defense lawyers actively collect favorable evidence to form an opinion submitted to the Procuratorate, and repeatedly communicate with the prosecutor. The prosecutor was resolute and considered that there was no problem with the sentencing recommendation of 11 to 12 years. The case was quickly brought to court.
At the trial stage, the defense lawyer again submitted evidence and opinions, and repeatedly communicated with the judge, who indicated that he would pay attention to the issue during the trial. I did not expect the trial, the judge reprimanded the client in court that the Procuratorate's determination is not a problem, the client felt great pressure, the defense lawyer immediately responded to this. In the court questioning, the defense lawyer through the same case of a number of defendants cross-examination, to discover the company car, reimbursement rights and other facts in favor of the client, fully expressed the defense, and ultimately attracted the attention of the court. After the court, the defense lawyer continued to communicate with the judge, the judge's attitude and said that he would take these factors into account, let patiently wait for the results. Eventually, the first instance decision adopted the views of the defense counsel, in the Procuratorate sentencing recommendations on the basis of the client downgrade significantly reduced sentence.
