Appearing in court for the third time, the mistaken father cried when he met his daughter.

39 years old, but this is the third time Tran Xuan Huy, resident of Vinh Tan Ward, Vinh City, has appeared in court for drug-related crimes. In 2004, Huy was sentenced by the People's Court of Vinh City to 24 months in prison for illegal possession of drugs. After that fall, Huy still did not take it as a lesson for himself and continued to reoffend. Accordingly, in 2015, Huy continued to be sentenced to 26 months in prison for illegal drug trafficking.

When Huy was imprisoned for the second time, his daughter was only 7 years old. Being imprisoned twice for the same crime made Huy “famous” in the locality. Although saddened by her husband’s repeated mistakes, his wife, born in 1986, always tried to encourage Huy. At the same time, she worked to support the family and take care of her child who was at the age of eating and studying.

In June 2017, Tran Xuan Huy was released from prison and reintegrated into society. At this time, Huy had not yet found a stable job, so he did whatever he was hired to do. Fearing that Huy would follow the old path without a job, his relatives always encouraged him to stand up after falling down and start his life over. Unfortunately, the advice and encouragement from relatives and friends could not change this person. Tran Xuan Huy was again arrested by the police for his behavior related to "white goods".

When asked why he had reoffended after being imprisoned twice, Huy could not explain, but said it was due to circumstances. A judge said that the defendant’s reoffending for the third time for the same crime showed contempt for the law. The defendant wanted to earn a lot of money without having to work, so he chose to trade drugs, even though he knew that such an act would be severely punished by the law. Drugs are a danger to society, and recently there have been many heartbreaking murders caused by drugs.
Throughout the declaration, Huy was quite calm, clearly answering the questions of the police.
The jury. However, during the deliberation, when Huy saw his 12-year-old daughter enter the court, he immediately burst into tears. The erring father repeatedly wiped away his tears with his handcuffed hands. With red eyes, Huy turned to tell his daughter a few things. Seeing his father in such a difficult situation, Huy's daughter also shed tears. His father's words of "be good and study well" made the teenage girl bow her head and sob.
Also taking advantage of the time to meet her husband in court, the wife approached to...
encouragement. Her husband's constant downfalls often made her feel discouraged. But,
This woman understood that this was the time for her to be there to support and encourage him.
The husband realized his mistake.

The panel of judges determined that the defendant's actions were in violation of the law. The defendant had been punished for drug-related crimes but still reoffended, showing contempt for the law. Considering the case as a whole, the court sentenced Tran Xuan Huy to 18 years in prison for illegal drug trafficking. In this case, there was also a man in Thanh Hoa (who bought drugs), a person who gave drugs to Huy at Sen market, and a young man named Cuong whose background and specific address were unknown. With only Huy's testimony, the investigation agency had no basis to investigate and handle the case.
Entering the prison gate for the third time with an 18-year sentence, will the tears of his young child in court make Huy change, realize his mistakes, reform well, and soon receive leniency from the law?
