How harmful is attorney inaction?

People often compare the suspect to the patient, the lawyer as a doctor. However, the biggest difference between lawyers and doctors in people's eyes is that a doctor's mistake may lead to the death of the patient, while a lawyer will never. As a lawyer, I used to think the same way. However, I recently undertook a case encountered in the situation will make this understanding completely reversed. After Chen Moumou of Jinghong was arrested by the Pu'er City Procuratorate on suspicion of transporting drugs, his relatives went to Kunming to find me, and I rushed to Pu'er at the first opportunity after accepting the commission to meet with Chen Moumou, accompanied by investigators. After the case was transferred to the procuratorial organs for examination and prosecution, after meeting with Chen Moumou and exchanging views with the procuratorial staff, I grasped the fact that Chen Moumou in the Pu'er City Detention Center passed the word to request the suspected co-conspirator Yang Moumou to admit to take over the phone of the fugitive drug traffickers Wu Mou to be prosecuted, as well as the fact of the case situation of the note written on the case that was seized in his possession. A case that originally proved Chen Moumou suspected of transporting drugs insufficient evidence, a sharp turn of events, not only the efforts not to prosecute was not accepted, Chen Moumou is also in fear of his life. Things turned out to be like this: Chen Moumou by the same used car business Wu Mou request to help his car and money to Kunming, because they are incidentally to go to the second-hand car market to see the car agreed, from Jinghong to Simao on the road, Wu Mou asked Chen to pick up Yang Moumou go together. After the border guards in the check, in the back of the car position seized more than 9,000 grams of drugs, Yang Moumou to help Wu buy drugs confessed, and assist the investigating authorities to help Yang Moumou arrested to buy drugs Rock Mou, Rock Mou on the facts of the crime have also confessed, Chen Moumou has been arguing that he is innocent, and refused to sign the identification of the drugs as well as drugs weighed and other transcripts. Chen Moumou, Yang Moumou and Yan Mou were detained at the Pu'er City Detention Center. After Chen was detained, his relatives hired a lawyer for him in Jinghong City. However, the lawyer did not travel to Pu'er to meet with Chen until he was arrested more than 30 days after his detention, and Chen was so anxious that he brought a letter to his family asking them to hire a lawyer for him. When I intervened, Chen Moumou had already made a big mistake. I asked why. Chen Moumou said, because has not seen the lawyer to meet with their own, the heart is very anxious, they entrusted with the same jailhouse people told the investigators to write down the situation, want to wait for the same jailhouse suspects of lawyers to come to meet with, bring to help see what they should do, the results of the note has been mounted in the trouser bag, was seized by the detention center. Regarding the trustee to send a message to Yang Moumou to recognize to take over Wu Mou phone, Chen Moumou said, without the help of lawyers, they do not know what to do, because they feel very wronged, was Wu Mou used, hope Yang Moumou can be truthful, then trustee to send a message, who knows was prosecuted. Regarding drug crimes, whether or not knowingly, is the benchmark between crime and non-crime, I have successfully defended the suspect suspected of transporting 40 kilograms of drug heroin not guilty because he did not have the judicial interpretation of several kinds of behavior is presumed to knowingly. And what Chen did in the detention center is undoubtedly authorized. The reason, although things are ChenMouMou himself, but the lawyer does not act, so that he can not get the lawyer's help in time, do the silly things, the lawyer has can not shirk the responsibility. I will naturally do my best to defend Chen Moumou, but this matter is worth saying that the lawyer does not act, the harm is comparable to the doctor does not act. The parties to remember, lawyers remember!
