The drunk man crashed into the wall and died after a fight, and the brawler was acquitted in self-defense
A drunk man was killed in a street disturbance, and the defenders were finally innocent.
Recently, after a drunk man died in Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, after causing trouble on the street, the case of the defender accused of intentional injury has attracted widespread attention in society. After trial by the Guizhou Provincial High People's Court, it was finally determined that the actions of the defenders Tang Yinhua and Yang Chengxiang were justified in self-defense, and the verdict was changed to not guilty. This verdict not only cleared the grievances of the two defenders, but also provided an important reference for the public's understanding of legitimate defense.
The cause of the incident can be traced back to the early morning of December 13, 2017, when Ding Xiaoping was drunk and molested and beat women on the street near the East Railway Station in Xiaobi Township, Guiyang City. His actions seriously infringed upon the legitimate rights and interests of others and undermined public order in society. However, when Tang Yinhua and Yang Chengxiang stepped forward to stop them, Ding Xiaoping not only attacked the two, but also crashed into the wall and died of serious injuries. The occurrence of this incident made Ding Xiaoping, who should have been punished by law, become a "victim" of this conflict.
However, the law is just. In the first and second instance of the case, the Guiyang City Intermediate People's Court and the Guizhou Provincial High People's Court both held that Tang Yinhua and Yang Chengxiang's actions were justified defense. In the face of Ding Xiaoping's unlawful infringement, they took necessary and reasonable defensive measures, and did not exceed the necessary limits. Therefore, the actions of the two did not constitute the crime of intentional injury.
This verdict has been widely recognized by the society. It sends a clear signal to the public that legitimate defense is a fundamental right granted to citizens by law, and that we have the right to take the necessary defensive measures to protect ourselves and others in the face of unlawful aggression. At the same time, this judgment also reminds us that when exercising the right of legitimate self-defense, it is necessary to comply with the provisions of the law and not exceed the necessary limits, otherwise it may constitute a crime.
In addition, this case has also triggered the public's deep reflection on drunken behavior. Drunkenness is not an excuse to commit a crime, let alone a reason to escape justice. We should be soberly aware that criminal acts committed while intoxicated are also severely punished by the law. At the same time, we should also strengthen the supervision and education of drunken behavior, and improve the public's legal awareness and moral level.
For Tang Yinhua and Yang Chengxiang, although they have gained innocence, the psychological shadow brought to them by this conflict is difficult to eliminate. Not only do they need to face the judgment of the law, but they also need to bear the pressure of society. Therefore, we should give them more understanding and support so that they can return to normal life.
At the same time, we also hope that the relevant departments can strengthen the trial and supervision of similar cases to ensure the fairness and authority of the law. Only in this way can we build a more harmonious and stable social environment, so that everyone can enjoy equal and just rights under the protection of the rule of law.
In short, the judgment of the Guizhou Provincial High People's Court in this case reflects the fairness and authority of the law, and also provides the public with an important reference on legitimate defense. We should draw lessons from this, enhance our awareness of the law, and jointly safeguard social harmony and stability. At the same time, we should also remain vigilant against illegal behaviors such as drunkenness, strengthen supervision and education, and contribute to the prosperity and development of society.
