The case of killing his wife and dismembering his body in Hangzhou entered the second instance, and the lawyer no longer defended Xu Guoli. What do you think of this?

I think lawyers have the right not to defend Xu Guoli. Xu Guoli's heinous crimes have aroused public outrage. However, no matter how guilty the suspect is, he has the right to ask a lawyer to help him defend himself during the trial. Lawyer Fang tried his best in the first instance and was sentenced to death. It is not that Fang's lawyer is incompetent, but that Xu Guoli's actions are inhuman.

When the lawyer defended him, he had been influenced to a certain extent, but now he doesn't want to be the defense lawyer of Xu Guoli's second trial. Netizens also said that lawyers gave up halfway. I have to say, it's really hard to be a lawyer, especially since the people I defend have long lost their hearts.

What's Fang's opinion on the Xu Guoli case?

Lawyer Fang received the Notice of Legal Aid on July 20, 2020. Until August 4th this year, Lawyer Fang met with General Manager Xu Guoli 16 times. He also taught legal knowledge to Xu Guoli's relatives many times. During the defense, Fang has done his best to complete his defense duties. Although he was sentenced to death in the first instance, Xu Guoli decided to appeal, thinking that Fang's work attitude was very serious and hoped that he would continue to defend himself.

Regarding the defense in the second trial, Fang has already considered it, but he still tried the death penalty in the second trial after doing his best, which will increase the psychological pressure of lawyers, so Fang hopes that other lawyers can help him share it.

How horrible Xu Guoli's case is.

After Xu Guoli killed his wife, he dismembered her body and then flushed some of the body pieces to the toilet. The next day, as if nothing had happened, he took the initiative to report that his wife was missing. In the face of police questioning, Xu Guoli showed no fear. Later, the police found the body of Xu Guoli's wife in the septic tank of the community. At this time, Xu Guoli admitted that he killed his wife because of the property distribution problem. This case has caused more people to panic. Some residents dare not move out of the community directly, and some people even dare not go to the toilet during that time.
