Personally, I didn't pay much attention to Zhu Ling's case before, but the news of Zhu Ling's death rushed to the hot search a few days ago, which aroused my curiosity about this case and felt sorry for the victim Zhu Ling in the case. I opened the webpage and took a look at what happened, and the real culprit in Zhu Ling's case has not been caught after nearly 30 years, which can't help but make people sigh. **has also made an official response to the progress of the case, which probably means that ** has tried its best to investigate, but there is not enough evidence, so the case has not been solved. **This kind of reply may not meet the psychological expectations of the general public, how can there be a case that cannot be solved in 30 years?However, judging from the investigative methods at that time, it was very likely, and Beijing only began to popularize the installation of surveillance facilities in major places in 2007, and the Zhu Ling case occurred in 1994. At the same time, according to the official statement, it has been half a year since Zhu Ling showed symptoms of poisoning and the public security organ received the report, and the traces and physical evidence have also been lost.
Overall, this response is somewhat understandable. The evidentiary standard for a verdict in a criminal case needs to meet the requirements of "the facts of the conviction and sentencing are all supported by evidence;."The evidence on which the verdict was based was verified and verified through legal procedures;Based on the evidence in the case, reasonable doubt has been eliminated as to the facts ascertained. ". The standard of proof in criminal cases may urge the investigating organs to handle the case strictly, so as to avoid the possibility of unjust and wrongly decided cases. Personally, I believe that on the premise of determining the fact of poisoning, ** did not arbitrarily arrest the suspect for interrogation, let alone torture to extract confessions, which is worthy of recognition.
Looking back, the well-known "Huge case" of 1996 took only two or three months from the time of the case to the execution of the death penalty. In the 1994 "She Xianglin case", the case occurred in January, and he was sentenced to death in March, which was later commuted to 15 years in prison in '98. In the 1994 "Nie Shubin case", he was sentenced to death and executed in 1995 after the second trial. These cases all have one thing in common, investigation and trialExtremely efficient, but the result is that these cases are found to be wrongful and unjust years later. At that time, the case-handling organs lacked a rigorous and prudent attitude towards the investigation of criminal cases, so that unjust cases appeared later, and the price paid was one by one. Not only the life of the victim, but also the life of the accused.
We have no way of knowing the real process of the Zhu Ling case, so we cannot simply blame the public security organs for inaction. If the investigators of the "Huge case" and "She Xianglin" were replaced, would they be able to quickly close the case and bring the "recognized" suspect to justice?Wouldn't this be able to meet the public's psychological expectations?My personal tendency is that some major cases need to be supervised, but as a judicial organ, it cannot be swayed by the first in the process of investigation, public prosecution and trial, and should still play its original functions. Allowing judicial power to operate in the sun does not mean handing over the power of investigation and adjudication to society**.
In criminal cases, efficiency and justice are also a pair of values that are difficult to choose. Those who advocate efficiency always say that "justice delayed is not justice". However, we may ignore many practical problems, in the era of single technical means, it is almost impossible to achieve efficiency and justice at the same time. We Chinese may admire Bao Zheng and Song Ci for their discernment, but it is impossible to know how their methods of handling cases are. In those days, there was no surveillance, no DNA identification, and guess how they handled the case
I personally expressed regret for Zhu Ling, and at the same time hoped that the real culprit could be brought to justice. Justice delayed is also a kind of justice. 100 help plan
