Lawyers Dong Xiaohua and Feng Wei effectively defended themselves, were arrested and released on bail, and were ultimately not prosecuted
Recently, a theft case represented by senior partners Dong Xiaohua and Feng Wei of Gaopeng Law Firm was successfully defended, arrested and released on bail pending trial. Eventually, they were not charged and were acquitted.
The party involved in this case, Zhang, has been criminally detained by a public security bureau in Beijing on suspicion of multiple thefts. Afterwards, the family members of the parties consulted and established a delegation relationship with lawyers Dong Xiaohua and Feng Wei.
After Zhang was arrested, the two lawyers went to the detention center multiple times to meet with him and also listened to the statements of Zhang's family. They gained a detailed understanding of the causes and consequences of the case and provided psychological counseling and legal explanation to Zhang.
After analysis and judgment, the two lawyers believe that based on the specific characteristics of the behavior, the severity of the circumstances, the size of the harmful consequences, and the special work and family situation of the perpetrator, this case has the conditions and space for exemption from criminal punishment. Subsequently, detailed defense opinions, evidence materials, and reference materials were submitted twice to the handling prosecutor.
After multiple communications, the handling prosecutor adopted the lawyer's defense opinion and released Zhang on bail pending trial, and made a decision not to prosecute two months later. Thus, the case has been successfully concluded without charge.
