On October 13, 2013, C X was criminally detained by the Zunhua Municipal Public Security Bureau for extortion, and on October 24 of the same year, C X was criminally arrested on suspicion of extortion. On June 3, 2014, the Zunhua Municipal People's Court found in the first instance that C X constituted the crime of extortion and sentenced him to 1 year in prison. The parties appealed, the court of second instance revoked the original judgment and sent it back for retrial, and in November 2014, C X, who was released on guarantee pending further investigation, found Lawyer Wang Fu, hoping that Wang Fu's legal team could defend himself.

2. c. So-and-so did not use any threat or blackmail method to extort property;

3. c. There is no subjective intent of extortion;

4. This case was artificially created to prevent c from petitioning.

In summary, the charge of c xxx constituting the crime of extortion is not established, and c xxx should be acquitted.

From a legal point of view, extortion is a property crime, which is an act of intimidation, threat or blackmail to make the victim fearful and to deliver property out of fear. In this case, at the objective level, the defendant did not have an act of extortion, and the crime had already been committed at the objective level, and there was no need to evaluate the objective obstruction of the cause, let alone the subjective level.
