Chapter 235: Chapter 112: Can the Elderly Commit Crimes at Will? (Extra for Monthly Votes)_4
"Moreover, Guo Erdan and Guo Shengfang had committed similar actions in the past... Despite their apologies, they showed no intention of compensation, which the court does not accept"
"In summary, according to the provisions of Article 274 of the Criminal Law, the court rules as follows:"
"The accused Guo Shengfang, convicted of extortion, is sentenced to one year in prison and a fine of ten thousand yuan."
"The accused Guo Erdan, convicted of extortion, is sentenced to six months in prison and a fine of ten thousand yuan."
"In a concurrent civil action, Guo Shengfang and Guo Erdan are ordered to compensate Chi Yan for mental distress in the amount of seventy-eight thousand yuan."
Upon hearing the verdict, Chi Yan looked at Old Song and asked, "Why isn\'t his sentence one year?"
Old Song shrugged and said, "There\'s nothing to be done; this Guo Erdan is already seventy-five years old. According to the Criminal Law, he could actually have received a suspended sentence."
"This time, the courts in Luzhou really withstood the pressure to make this judgment."
At such an old age, if you really sentence him for too long and something happens to him in prison or he falls ill, it\'s all troublesome.
Guo Shengfang expressed her intention to appeal on the spot, arguing that the sentence was too long and the compensation too much.
Seventy-eight thousand, how could they come up with this number—she was only willing to give eight hundred to begin with!
After the case was decided, Old Song escorted Chi Yan out, only to be stopped by Guo Erdan at the courthouse door.
In response, Old Song said likewise, "Your son beat Lawyer Tang to that state, and Lawyer Tang was never afraid. Now you\'re trying to intimidate me? I\'ll tell you, Tang Fangjing was also trained by me!"
I\'m not afraid of your threats, this old guy must be out of his mind.
Guo Shengfang and Lawyer Sun watched the scene, not daring to say a word, especially Lawyer Sun, who suddenly felt that it was not only Tang Fangjing who was ill; Tengda\'s Song Tengfei also seemed a bit off...
The judgment was already spreading out, and the online crowd that had waited for a long time began to discuss it immediately.
The discussion centered on two core issues: the first was the crime committed by the elderly, and the second was whether future similar extortion cases should also go through the full legal process like this one.
One year of imprisonment, and yet the case can\'t be established?
"Can the elderly commit crimes with impunity? I think our current legal situation is too lenient towards the elderly and minors. It\'s normal to respect the old and love the young, but you can\'t just let things slide, right?"
This was the comment with the highest number of likes.
It\'s fine to respect the old and love the young—nobody disputes that, because everyone has been young and will get old.
But if crimes by the elderly go uncharged and unpunished, that\'s unacceptable.
The same applies to minors—nowadays, many of them commit crimes with extremely cruel methods.
The key issue is, both the elderly and minors know that they will not be punished for their crimes, which is quite terrifying!
A vigorous debate unfolded online, and on the third day, Guo Shenglong moved to the front.
For intentional injury causing serious harm and with premeditation for revenge, he was sentenced to ten years\' imprisonment!
In a concurrent civil lawsuit, he was ordered to pay Tang Fangjing three hundred fifty thousand yuan for medical expenses, two hundred thousand yuan for nursing care, and one hundred thousand yuan for nutritional support, and this was only provisional.
Because up until the first trial, Old Tang was still in the hospital, so the subsequent expenses would need to be addressed in a separate lawsuit after discharge.
Some people might wonder why intentional injury requires so much compensation, whereas a wrongful death only requires fifty thousand yuan.
Because that\'s just for funeral costs...
This sentence was directly handed down to the maximum.
As netizens said, a family should be complete; if a brother, sister, and father go to jail, they should go together.
Meanwhile, many people were inquiring about Lawyer Tang\'s condition, but nobody knew.
At the Luzhou Second Hospital, Old Tang had already been in the intensive care unit for some time.
He saw the verdict sent by Old Song and was quite surprised; Old Song had unexpectedly performed well this time.
It seems that since he joined Tengda, everyone had been progressing, which is good. What has every other industry come to if you, a lawyer, can remain unaffected by the ups and downs?
You have to face the grind!
He would have to stay in the hospital for a long while—fortunately, in Luzhou, Kang Xinxin\'s case was upheld on appeal, extending his own lifespan by half a year.
With life in hand, naturally, there is no panic—just need to stay in the hospital and recover, and in the meantime, sort out my own knowledge system.
As he was reflecting, Chi Yan walked in with a smile and said, "Brother Tang, it\'s time to change your dressing."
Old Tang replied, wondering what this girl was thinking—insisting on taking care of him personally. Are seriously ill young men really that attractive nowadays?
