2023 07/05

Recently, Lawyer Dong Xiaohua and Lawyer Chen Cong, senior partners of Gaopeng Law Firm, handled a traffic accident case involving Wang. After nearly 8 months of work, the prosecutor's office finally made a decision not to prosecute. The successful outcome of this case is attributed to the joint efforts of the parties, defenders, and family members, as well as the prosecutor's adherence to the case handling philosophy of "less arrest, more cautious prosecution, and more cautious detention" and "the case is for people's livelihood", as well as the procuratorial responsibility and humanistic care to handle each case with sincerity and emotion.


On the night of November 2022, Wang accidentally collided with Zhao, who was driving a human tricycle across the road, while driving a small sedan at a green light at an intersection. Zhao was injured and later died after rescue efforts. The traffic police department has determined that Wang bears full responsibility for the accident, while Zhao does not bear any responsibility for the accident.


After accepting the commission, the lawyer provided the parties with a detailed understanding of the specific situation of the night of the case, informed them of their litigation rights, and alleviated the anxiety of the parties and their families. During the investigation phase, lawyers assist the parties in actively compensating the victims' families for their losses and obtaining their understanding. After the case entered the stage of examination and prosecution, the lawyer immediately reviewed the papers and found that the victim may have violated the red light violation. Therefore, he went to the prosecutor's office to repeatedly review the surveillance video at the time of the crime and went to the location of the crime for on-site inspection, Fully communicated with the prosecutor regarding whether the victim crossed the non motorized vehicle stop line at the green light but passed through the motorized lane at the red light "violated traffic regulations and whether there were safety hazards; The lawyer provided defense opinions and communicated with the prosecutor multiple times regarding the minor criminal circumstances of the parties involved, such as voluntary surrender, confession of guilt and punishment, first offense, occasional offense, compensation to the victim's family and understanding obtained, the case situation where the procuratorate has made a decision not to prosecute in recent years, and the criminal justice policy of "less arrest, more prosecution, more detention". The prosecutor fully considered the lawyer's opinion and held a hearing on whether to prosecute. After fully understanding the situation of the case and listening to the statements of Wang and the lawyer, both the hearers and the people's supervisor agreed to handle Wang as a non prosecution. Recently, the prosecutor delivered a non prosecution decision to Wang. After nearly 8 months of suffering and anxiety, Wang and his family finally received some comfort.


Gao Peng's criminal defense carries a heavy responsibility and a long way to go. We will continue to strictly demand ourselves with the concept of "integrity and excellence", and do our best to treat every case to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the parties to the greatest extent possible.
