What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 398: Old Tang: Let Me Handle It



No matter how dissatisfied others are, the new recognition after the hearing has already been made.

Moreover, the review of this procedure can only be done once!

Old Tang walked out of the branch's gate, this case is a complete tragedy for Zhang Minghui.

The crime of traffic accident and another crime are very similar, which is negligent homicide.

"Interpretation by the Supreme Court on the Specific Application of Law in Criminal Cases of Traffic Accidents" stipulates in Article 8 that the spatial and temporal conditions of the traffic accident crime are limited to the scope of public traffic management.

To generalize, as long as it is not within the scope of public traffic management, if you drive and kill someone, you might be suspected of negligent homicide.

Involuntarily, Old Tang thought of that case from his previous life, and also thought of the case he once handled involving a jump from a vehicle.

Negligent homicide, this charge is really hard to say, the criminal law stipulates just one sentence.

Either it's excessive confidence, or it's negligence.

In theory, one should judge whether the actor can foresee the result of death based on the actor's level of intelligence, the inherent danger of the behavior, and the objective environment, to derive the correct conclusion.

But in reality, many cases involving this charge feel extremely complicated.

Shaking his head, Old Tang expelled these inexplicable thoughts from his mind, with this new recognition, Zhang Minghui should be cleared soon.

And on the other side of Bright District, Tang Weidong also received the reviewed traffic accident liability recognition.

"How could this be possible, how could I be mainly responsible, didn't I just run a red light? That person wasn't killed by my car, why should I be responsible!"

Tang Weidong shouted directly at home.

What's wrong with pedestrians running a red light, lots of people do these days.

This is the reality, in most places, there are no penalty measures for pedestrians running red lights.

At most, if there's a traffic cop, they might let pedestrians stand at the intersection waving a small red flag for a while, or fine them ten dollars, or maybe twenty in some places.

So generally speaking, pedestrians don't feel there's anything wrong with running a red light, especially in Tang Weidong's case.

He's the victim, the electric bike crashed into him, yet they let him bear the main responsibility.

His son's face was equally ugly, as he suddenly realized that what he said at the reassessment hearing might become reality.

But now, no one knows the situation, his son can only search online or ask some mildly knowledgeable friends for information.

By that afternoon, Tang Weidong received a call, traffic police notified him to go to the unit for compensation mediation.

Tang Weidong was even more dissatisfied, quarreled with the victim's family right after arriving in the afternoon.

"You want me to pay? I'm the one who was hit by the electric bike, I didn't ask your family to pay, now you ask me to pay? I didn't kill anyone, why should I pay!"

Tang Weidong shouted directly.

Opposite, victim's family, a middle-aged woman and two elderly folks disapproved upon hearing this.

"The traffic accident recognition has already determined that you bear the main responsibility, if not you, then who should pay? You ran the red light!"

"I ran a red light, so what, I'm a victim too, I've never seen a victim asked to pay compensation!"

Just a few exchanges and they're about to start a quarrel, Tang Weidong's son, making a phone call, quickly advised seeing this: "Dad, don't fight with them, about this matter..."

However, when tempers flare one doesn't care about these things, Tang Weidong directly retorted: "Why shouldn't I argue? They're asking me to pay for no reason, shouldn't I say something?"

While the traffic police, who was busy preparing to say something, Tang Weidong's son put down the phone and also shouted: "Dad, do you still think it's just a matter of compensation?"

"Don't you know that the driver was already arrested? I've just found out, traffic accident with a fatality, the one bearing the main responsibility has to face imprisonment, did you know that?"

The son was truly helpless, he finally found some connections and reached a known lawyer on the phone.

The lawyer said that although as a pedestrian, generally, one can't be charged with traffic accident crime, but that's just under normal circumstances.

Regarding law, there are many ambiguous areas, such as various catch-all regulations - other provocative behavior.

Also including the "transportation personnel or non-transportation personnel" in traffic accident crime.

So many say the law has loopholes, skilled lawyers can find loopholes to serve oneself, but in fact, these things shouldn't be considered loopholes.

That's called ambiguous areas where one can play freely.

After hearing his son's words, Tang Weidong froze.

"You're saying... you're saying I committed a crime? No, I'm just a pedestrian, how could I commit traffic accident crime?"

Shouldn't this kind of misconduct crime be committed by drivers?

At this moment, the traffic police nearby finally spoke: "Indeed, in a traffic accident with one fatality, the side bearing the main or full responsibility is suspected of traffic accident crime."

This is indisputable, the law is written very clearly.

Tang Weidong was finally dumbfounded, his son said so, the traffic police said so, it certainly wasn't pretend.

Opposite, the victim's family was equally stunned.

"Officer, does this mean that if we report the case, this person will go to jail?"
