Shan County People’s Court Judge Gave a Light Sentence on Ground of “Eyes

Dazzled”

In September last year, Zhang Liqiang’s passenger car was rolled by a heavy truck from

behind, causing the instant death of three people including Zhang’s wife and daughter.

Two people were injured. On December 27, Shan County People’s Court sentenced Y ang

Xinhua, the defendant who was fully responsible for the accident, with two-year

imprisonment. However, the victim Zhang Liqiang was not provided with the judgment

and has to ask for a copy of which from the court through a lawyer.

According to law, the defendants in such cases shall be sentenced to more than three

years but less than seven years of imprisonment. The court gave a light sentence in this

case on the ground that the defendant voluntarily paid more than 900,000 RMB as

compensation. Yet Zhang said he has never received any compensation from the

defendant.

Shui Tao, the Presiding Judge of this case, admitted that the criminal aspect of this case

was heard by Shan County People’s Court and the civil aspect by Sanmenxia City Hubin

District People’s Court, and that the light sentence was given according to the proof of

compensation provided by the Hubin District People’s Court. Di Ermin, the judge of

Hubin District Court, stated that he provided a “proof of compensation” only because the

Shan County People’s Court required it and that he just wrote on the proof that “the

defendant said he will pay 900,000 RMB.” Shan County People’s Court obviously forged

the proof. To this, Shui Tao explained that his eyes were “dazzled” at that time.
