Not long ago, I suggested a friend to take the judicial examination to be a lawyer. The friend said: I don't like lawyers. Don't lawyers only recognize money in their eyes and do everything for money?
Well, this is the lawyer in the eyes of many people. Defend for the bad guys, and the bad guys are often rich, so it becomes a defense for money.
The lawyer in my eyes is not good. To put it nicely, it is called shrewd, but in fact it is a cunning man, with a temperament that makes people unprepared to get close. It's a pity that I am also doing this business myself, so sometimes I think about myself in the eyes of others, and my heart suddenly feels cold. Some data show that 90% of female lawyers do not want to marry a male lawyer.
Not to mention that Chinese people don't understand lawyers, and foreigners are the same. I have heard a lot of "jokes" about lawyers going to hell, and I shared one:
saying that an engineer died and went to heaven to report. The guards of heaven said that you went wrong and you should go to hell. So the engineer went to hell.
After a while, God thought of calling Satan and saying hello, buddy, how are you doing lately. Satan sneezed and said: Hi~ I'm having a great time. An engineer came to me and tinkered with all modern things such as toilets, water heaters, microwave ovens, etc., and you still don’t know what he can do. Fresh tricks~ too hapy!
God was very upset when he heard it, saying, oh, I know that engineer, he went wrong, he should come back to our heaven, you put him up quickly.
Satan said to go to your mother, he is here and not going anywhere.
God was angry and said I would sue you!
Satan looked around triumphantly for a week, and said in a leisurely manner that you are going to sue, but where do you go to find a lawyer?
Is the lawyer synonymous with evil, and why is he letting so many bad guys off? In the film, Mick and his wife have such a good relationship, why did they end up getting divorced? Myer asked me like this.
I understand very well. As a prosecutor, I want to bring bad guys to justice, but my lawyer husband is constantly trying to find loopholes to put your hard work in vain, son of the bitch!
In the United States, these two industries are mutually exclusive. In fact, it is strange that the two come together.
China is much better, anyway, lawyers basically can't do things that make prosecutors half angry... and prosecutors are backed by judges. .
The friend who refused to be a lawyer said that there are many famous cases in the United States. Sons who killed their mothers and husbands who killed their wives were all acquitted. Don't you think this is terrible.
I said there are many famous cases in China, such as the Zhao Zuohai case, which one do you think is more terrifying.
Is it better to kill a thousand by mistake and not miss one, or is it better to kill one if you miss a thousand?
As far as lawyers are concerned, it is the latter. As far as Chinese law is concerned, the former is currently favored.
Every case we do is to improve the legal system, improve detection methods, and maintain procedural justice. If there is hard evidence, no matter how smart a lawyer is, the suspect cannot be exonerated. Therefore, please work harder for the public security and procuratorate. But I also ask the court not to stand with you anymore, that makes lawyers useless.
The film mentions a system that China does not have: plea bargaining.
This is why foreign lawyers are better than Chinese lawyers. For foreign lawyers, if you want to solve a big case, I have clues in my hand. Let's make a deal. What kind of punishment is given to my client? It is up to you to disagree, and whether to give you clues is up to me. Or you want to convict me, but you have no evidence? OK, I plead guilty, but you have to commute my sentence.
In China, this is called lenient frankness and strict resistance. In other words, you can do meritorious service, and you are obliged to confess. But what will be sentenced to you after meritorious service? After confession, you will never be lenient, sorry, this is my final say, you just wait~.
The ending is often a confession, but the crime is serious, I will not give you a lenient. Then the lawyer who persuades the client to confess is stupid...
Damn writing here, I feel that China's criminal defense prospects are dark.
