The prosecution argued that Ko should remain in custody until all witnesses had been questioned. If bail were granted, Ko would be barred from contacting any witnesses listed on the evidence list. However, Ko&#039;s attorney argued that the evidence list contained at least two or three hundred names, some of whom were unnecessary or had already signed recognizances, and that the standards should be relaxed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Liu Yiling, an attorney at Fidelity Law Firm, stated that 14 witnesses remain to be summoned and questioned at the trial date. It&#039;s possible that their future testimony may conflict with the testimony of previously testified witnesses, necessitating further clarification of the relevant facts. To avoid compromising judicial integrity, prosecutors believe Ko Wen-je must not have any contact with the witnesses listed in the evidence list, effectively preventing collusion or other conduct that could compromise judicial fairness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Fuda Law Firm<br>Line\uff1a<a href=\"https:\/\/line.me\/ti\/p\/@fdlaw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/line.me\/ti\/p\/@fdlaw<\/a><br>Tel:<a href=\"tel:0277093611\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">0277093611<\/a><br>Facebook:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fudalawyer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fudalawyer<\/a><br>website:<a href=\"https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/<\/a><br>e-mail:<a href=\"mailto:info@fdlaw.com.tw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">info@fdlaw.com.tw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group fdlaw-faq-block is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should I do if I receive a criminal summons or am notified by the police?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, confirm the identity of the person as a defendant, suspect, or witness, and gather relevant information.
