Imprisonment! Previously incarcerated three times, the man made a phone call to "threaten death" Lao Rongzhi's defense lawyer News | Wu Danhong | defense lawyer
On July 5th, Wu Danhong, a defense lawyer for Lao Rongzhi, told Pengpai News that the man who had previously threatened to kill his entire family on the phone had been detained by the police for five days. On the same day, he received an administrative penalty decision letter from the Chaoyang Branch of the Beijing Public Security Bureau.
Pengpai News previously reported that on June 26th, lawyer Zhao Defang, Wu Danhong's assistant, received a death threat phone call. The phone said that if Lao Rongzhi is sent back for retrial or a revised verdict, he will kill Wu Danhong's entire family. On that day, Zhao Defang reported the case to the Changying Police Station of the Chaoyang Branch of the Beijing Public Security Bureau, and the police have accepted the case.
According to the recording provided by Zhao Defang, the number from Yingtan, Jiangxi confirmed Zhao Defang's identity and said, "Don't worry who I am. Let me tell you, Lao Rongzhi has been sent back for retrial and his sentence has been changed. I will kill Wu Danhong's daughter and all members of the family. Please tell him."
According to the administrative penalty decision of the Chaoyang Branch of the Beijing Public Security Bureau, the perpetrator, Ruan Moumou, was born in 1987 and lives in Jinxi County, Jiangxi Province. At around 15:00 on June 26th, Ruan threatened the personal safety of others by making a phone call in Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province. According to Article 42, Paragraph 1 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Public Security Administration Punishments, it is decided to impose an administrative detention of five days on him. The execution method and deadline are: from July 2, 2023 to July 7, 2023, administrative detention will be carried out at the Chaoyang District Detention Center.
Wu Danhong told Pengpai News that he also found out that Ruan had previously been imprisoned three times for extortion and aiding in information network criminal activities.
The judgment of the People's Court of Yiwu City shows that Ruan, who only has a junior high school education, was sentenced to one year in prison and fined RMB 4000 by the Yiwu Court on April 18, 2016 for the crime of extortion. On August 2, 2017, he was once again sentenced to one year and three months in prison by the People's Court of Dongyang City, Zhejiang Province for the crime of extortion. He was released on July 24, 2018 after completing his sentence. On March 17, 2021, Ruan was sentenced to one year in prison and fined RMB 5000 by the Yiwu court for committing a crime of aiding information networks.
Pengpai News previously reported that during the second trial of the case of Lao Rongzhi, defense lawyer Wu Danhong proposed that there was insufficient objective evidence to determine that Lao Rongzhi was guilty of intentional homicide, and that he was an accomplice to the crime committed by Fa Ziying. The court deemed these defense opinions to be inconsistent with the facts established, unfounded in law, and did not adopt them. In November 2022, the Jiangxi Provincial High Court publicly announced its verdict on this case, ruling to reject the appeal and uphold the original verdict. The death penalty ruling on Lao Rongzhi was submitted to the Supreme People's Court for approval.
In March 2023, according to public media reports, the judge of the Supreme Court heard the opinions of defense lawyer Lao Rongzhi in person, and the lawyer submitted about 200000 words of defense materials. At present, the situation of the death penalty review by Lao Rongzhi has not been announced.
