Last year, my friend Xiao A was invited to gamble in a casino. After being reported, the casino was closed down and Xiao A and a group of gamblers were punished administratively. I thought it was over, but this year A was suddenly arrested at home for allegedly opening a casino. After the incident, A found out that it was related to gambling and opening a casino last year. He told the criminals handling the case that someone accused A of being responsible for pumping water in the casino. The **** criminal who opened the casino. The police arrested Mr. A based on clues, and with the approval of the procuratorate, he was arrested and sentenced to several months in prison. After accepting the entrustment, the lawyer immediately rushed to the detention center to meet and listened to X's statement of the facts of the case. At the same time, he immediately went to the procuratorate to review the case and found that the evidence that could identify X as involved in the case was extremely weak. According to the lawyer's suggestion, the procuratorate reviewed the case against the persons involved. Part of the situation is also of great concern. The case has been returned to the Public Security Bureau twice for supplementary investigation, but facts speak louder than words, the evidence is still insufficient, and the filing of the case is still insufficient. The evidence of the suspected crime was still insufficient. Under this circumstance, the lawyer twice submitted a defense opinion on A's innocence to the procuratorate, and actively communicated and discussed with the procuratorate. In the end, the procuratorate adopted the lawyer's legal opinion and made an evidence verdict against A. Despite the decision not to prosecute, A was released on the same day. He and his family were extremely excited and thanked him profusely. This case also demonstrates the fairness and justice of the law. The law will not mislead a criminal or wrongly accuse a good person.
