"Although this case is a criminal case, it is accompanied by civil compensation, active compensation for the victim's losses, and forgiveness, which is also the legal responsibility that the defendant should bear." On October 19, in a mediation room at the Decheng District Court, Judge Yang Yang of the Criminal Trial Division interviewed the family of a defendant in a dangerous driving case.
Tall head, long hair, fast but clear speech, full of a sense of competence, this is Yang Yang's first impression. The 36-year-old has been working in the court for 13 years, using her skillful legal knowledge and work skills to resolve a large number of contradictions and disputes, always standing up when the masses are in urgent need of help, and has won the titles of top ten young judges and case-handling experts in the city's courts. Recently, Yang Yang was awarded the eighth city's "helping others for fun" moral model.
How does a criminal judge become a model of "helping others" ethics? Yang Yang gave the answer with a smile: "Using sincerity to solve problems for the parties, using the law to safeguard social fairness, putting an end to the handling of cases, adjudicating them, and eliminating the estrangement in the hearts of the parties, this is the judge's unique way of 'helping others'." ”
Not long ago, Yang Yang tried a dangerous driving case, Song Mou drunkenly drove other people's vehicles into an accident, causing damage to the vehicles of both sides, and 4 passengers were injured to varying degrees. The victim was worried that Song would not compensate for the loss, so he took the owner and the insurance company to court.
Experienced Yang Yang is keenly aware that although the facts of this case are clear and the evidence is sufficient, if Song is sentenced only according to the crime of dangerous driving, the subsequent compensation enforcement will become "old and difficult". Yang Yang called multiple parties together, clarified the positions and corresponding legal responsibilities of all parties, and guided Song's family to actively compensate for the losses of the parties. At the same time, he communicated with the litigation agent of the insurance company many times, formulated four or five kinds of compensation plans, made more than 20 copies of the interrogation record alone, and made countless phone calls. From the initial distrust and incomprehension of the parties, to the active cooperation of the later, under the unremitting efforts of Yang Yang, many parties finally reached an agreement, Song's family paid compensation on the spot, and Song himself also obtained the understanding of the parties.
In addition to busy work, Yang Yang actively participates in various public welfare activities and practices the purpose of "helping others for fun and dedication to beauty" with practical actions. On Yang Yang's mobile phone, a group photo with Xiaohong, a girl in Songguantun Town, Dezhou Economic and Technological Development Zone, is saved, and Xiaohong in the photo is smiling brightly. Xiaohong is Yang Yang's one-on-one help object to participate in the "Loving Mother" activity of the Municipal Women's Federation, and the two have known each other for more than 2 years.
Xiaohong is in the third grade of primary school this year, her father left home when she was very young, and her mother also ran away from home after giving birth to her brother. Xiaohong and her brother live with their grandmothers and grandfathers. After the class teacher learned about the situation, he signed up for Xiaohong to participate in the "Loving Mother" activity and formed a helping pair with Yang Yang. Yang Yang often visits Xiaohong, buys clothes and books for her, and sends toys to Xiaohong's brother to help coordinate family affairs and create a good living environment for the family. The girl's grandmother said to everyone: "We have met good people, and there is hope for the future of the child..."
"Chen Yanping, a national model judge, once said, 'A lawsuit is once in a lifetime, and it affects a lifetime,' and I am willing to listen to the hearts of the parties concerned, and use sincerity to solve their worries and difficulties, so that the lawsuits that the parties may fight once in a lifetime will be resolved in accordance with the law, so as to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the masses to the greatest extent." Yang Yang said.
