Li Tie's heart is depressed, the source of his dissatisfaction lies in the length of the penalty. It is rumored that Li Tie's original intention was to be sentenced to no more than ten years. For this reason, his wife Long Fei spared no expense and invited a team of top lawyers to defend him. Media source Fu Zhenghao bluntly said that the reason why Li Tie appealed, the key lies in its soccer anti-corruption action in the report, which is enough to constitute merit mitigation basis. Li Tie self-recognition, the severity of this sentence is too harsh.
Once Li Tie has appealed, the 20-year sentence will be suspended for the time being. According to the law, during the appeal period, the verdict of the first trial shall not take effect immediately. Informed sources said that the second trial may show three directions: one is to maintain the original sentence, the second is to change the sentence, and the third is to send back for retrial.
The prevailing view in the industry is that the chances of Li Tie's sentence being commuted are slim to none. For one thing, he was suspected of as many as five offenses; for another, the case lasted nearly two years, the evidence was overwhelming and the facts were clear. From the trial to the final judgment, which took several months, the court's decision was well thought out.
Despite Li Tie's defense, it is hard to escape from prison. May he reflect deeply and try to reinvent himself!
