The family of the police chief knelt to thank the writer who sentenced him to death: Beware that justice may turn around | TTV News reporter Tsai Chang-yu News link: https://youtu.be/NE38TaaQymc?si=N–v5AEaot0eUc07 Liu Zongxin, the chief of Tucheng Police Station in New Taipei City, was killed in a car accident while driving under the influence of drugs and refusing inspection. He died in the line of duty. In the first instance, Chen Jiaying was sentenced to death. After the verdict was announced, Liu's father breathed a sigh of relief. Today (13), he went to the New Taipei District Prosecutors Office to thank the chief prosecutor. However, whether the second instance will change the verdict is still uncertain. The writer, Piaolang Island, posted on Facebook, "In Taiwan, killing one person will not result in the death penalty. Justice may not be late, but it may turn around." Lawyer Hsu Wan-wei of Fuda Law Firm said that after the appeal to the second instance, the judge will still try to determine whether the defendant had the intent to kill. Since the defendant drove the vehicle at high speed and dragged the victim and deliberately crashed into the guardrail, it was obviously intentional to cause death...

Taiwan's Ninth Presidential Pardon: "Exemption from Punishment but Not from Crime" Hopes to Reassure Octopus Woman | CTS News Reporters Luo Li-an and Hou Zheng-lun News Link: The Presidential Office issued a press release today (12th) that President Lai Ching-te approved the pardon of octogenarian Lin Liu-long-zi, exempting her from imprisonment, making it the ninth presidential pardon in Taiwan's history. Former President Tsai Ing-wen has also used the power of pardon twice, namely for Wang Guang-lu, a Bunun indigenous man who hunted protected wild animals, and Han Yu-ping, the former chief of staff of the Hualien-Taitung Defense Command, who was severely sentenced for embezzling NT$2,800 in food allowance. In fact, such pardons are "exemption from punishment but not from crime." There is also a type of amnesty, which completely expels the crime, but no president has exercised this power in the past. Lawyer Li Yu-sheng of Fidelity Law Firm said that both presidential amnesty and pardons are constitutionally granted...

Linkou police in New Taipei City received intelligence that a tin-roofed shack had suspicious traffic late at night, suspected of harboring a professional gambling den.

The police officers chasing after them even helped pick up the money! Lawyer Li Yusheng of Fuda Law Firm stated that according to the Criminal Code, a criminal does not necessarily have to actually participate in the criminal act. If they are just acting as lookouts to avoid police detection, they may still be considered accomplices or even accessories to gambling crimes, and therefore may also be…
