Su Yaohui acquitted in retrial after attempted murder charge.<\/strong> <strong>| TTV News reporter Li Ruoci<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">News link:<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/qjMYe3HjmeE?si=-AH92h5XqxGbgR8Z\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/qjMYe3HjmeE?si=-AH92h5XqxGbgR8Z<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Nearly 30 years ago, a murder occurred on Qingyun Road, Tucheng District, New Taipei City. Two suspects, armed with machetes, severely injured a couple surnamed Zhan. Based on a color photograph provided by the police, the couple identified the man, Su Yaohui, as the suspect wearing a full-face helmet. He was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to eight years in prison in a second trial. Su Yaohui maintained his innocence and spent 25 years on the run, appealing his case. The Supreme Court twice overturned the original verdict. Nearly 30 years later, the High Court today (the 29th) ruled that there was insufficient evidence and acquitted him, clearing his name. The case is still subject to appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Attorney Li Yusheng of Fidelity Law Firm stated that in this case, the police only provided a single photograph for the victim to identify, violating the &quot;selective identification&quot; rule, which led to the court excluding the validity of the identification. Secondly, after experts re-examined the polygraph test results, it was confirmed that the original interpretation was incorrect, and Su&#039;s reactions to the case showed no signs of lying. In the absence of scientific evidence such as murder weapons and bloodstains, and with both the identification and polygraph test evidence being discarded, the retrial ultimately overturned the original verdict and acquitted the victim.<\/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\">Are criminal cases easy to successfully retry?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The threshold for retrial is high; it must meet the statutory grounds and cannot be merely a matter of dissatisfaction with the judgment. A careful examination of the case file is necessary to determine whether there are new facts, new evidence, or significant flaws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I still hire a lawyer after the verdict is finalized?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Lawyers can assess the possibility of retrial, extraordinary appeal, constitutional interpretation, or other remedies, but each procedure has different requirements and limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What documents are needed to apply for a retrial?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typically, it is necessary to identify the judgment, previous trial judgments, case files, new evidence, or materials indicating suspected procedural flaws, and have the lawyer compile these into grounds for the application that meet the legal requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<script id=\"fdlaw-generated-faq-schema-retrial-20260706\" type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"\u5211\u4e8b\u6848\u4ef6\u518d\u5be9\u5bb9\u6613\u6210\u529f\u55ce\uff1f\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"\u518d\u5be9\u9580\u6abb\u8f03\u9ad8\uff0c\u5fc5\u9808\u7b26\u5408\u6cd5\u5b9a\u4e8b\u7531\uff0c\u4e0d\u80fd\u53ea\u662f\u5c0d\u5224\u6c7a\u4e0d\u6eff\u3002\u662f\u5426\u6709\u65b0\u4e8b\u5be6\u3001\u65b0\u8b49\u64da\u6216\u91cd\u5927\u7455\u75b5\uff0c\u9700\u8981\u4ed4\u7d30\u6aa2\u67e5\u5377\u8b49\u3002\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"\u5224\u6c7a\u78ba\u5b9a\u5f8c\u9084\u80fd\u627e\u5f8b\u5e2b\u55ce\uff1f\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"\u53ef\u4ee5\u3002\u5f8b\u5e2b\u53ef\u8a55\u4f30\u518d\u5be9\u3001\u975e\u5e38\u4e0a\u8a34\u3001\u91cb\u61b2\u6216\u5176\u4ed6\u6551\u6fdf\u53ef\u80fd\u6027\uff0c\u4f46\u6bcf\u4e00\u7a2e\u7a0b\u5e8f\u90fd\u6709\u4e0d\u540c\u8981\u4ef6\u8207\u9650\u5236\u3002\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"\u8072\u8acb\u518d\u5be9\u8981\u6e96\u5099\u4ec0\u9ebc\u8cc7\u6599\uff1f\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"\u901a\u5e38\u9700\u8981\u78ba\u5b9a\u5224\u6c7a\u3001\u6b77\u5be9\u5224\u6c7a\u3001\u5377\u8b49\u8cc7\u6599\u3001\u65b0\u8b49\u64da\u6216\u53ef\u7591\u7a0b\u5e8f\u7455\u75b5\u8cc7\u6599\uff0c\u4e26\u7531\u5f8b\u5e2b\u6574\u7406\u6210\u7b26\u5408\u6cd5\u5f8b\u8981\u4ef6\u7684\u8072\u8acb\u7406\u7531\u3002\"}}]}<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wrongfully convicted for 30 years!
