The Chinese cooperating better than the Mexicans. Who would have thought.
I have a feeling that the Chinese government doesn’t like the idea of violent felons in their society. At least, not free-Lance ones.
ROTFLMAO!!! Looks like Chui jumped from the frying pan into the fire. If he’d stayed in LA the worst he’d have gotten would have been a fake ‘death” sentence that left him with a perpetual vacation on death row until his natural death. Now he gets living death in a Chinese prison possibly followed by a real death sentence that will be almost a release.
Cui was found guilty by a panel of three Chinese judges. There has been no word from China on his punishment.

“a 90 minute trial is a good sign”
Even after slowing way down a few years ago, China is still number one in the world for executions - and second only to Iran on a per capita basis. Political prisoners can be executed secretly, and excluded from their statistics, so the Chinese numbers are basically for murderers and drug dealers.
No lengthy delays from the appeal process (even though there is now a review) - sentence is carried out pretty swiftly.
For once, a fairly decent article from the Los Angeles Times.
It seems the evidence was so damning that the defendant had little chance of evasion.
Two things about the conviction stats in China (99% conviction rate), is that they probably don’t take cases to court unless they have solid proof (or strong political will on the issue).
There is probably very little chance of jury confusion, with defense attorneys lofting sheer lunacy to get a defendant off.
It is also very likely that any sentence will be carried out, something that has long since stopped happening in the United States.
California has close to 750 people on death row, and I doubt any of them will die by execution. Meanwhile we pay upwards of $50k per year for each of them to keep on sapping our state taxpayer’s wealth.
The Chinese have sand pits where they execute violent felons.
A military soldier is selected to put one bullet in the back of their head as they are bound kneeling.
First taste of blood and all that rot.
They used to have a column similar to obituaries, but executions in the Shang Hai Daily.
I dont think he is able to wish for anything anymore.
And the Anglo copper speaks fluent Chinese!
That is what cooked his goose.
Like Mrs. Clever speaking jive.
Who knew?
Cops are cops, everywhere. They don’t like murderers, and enjoy putting them in jail.
There are as many nasty a-hole murderers in China as there are here, and I’m sure the cops over there hate them, and hate seeing them walk around free.
In Confucian societies like China/Signapore you don’t want to commit a felony offense.
They don’t cut you a break. And don’t have illegal drugs on you because possession makes you death penalty eligible.
You’re given a warning card on entry into those countries. And US constitutional protections don’t apply there.
