On June 5th, Qingdao Intermediate People's Court held a public hearing to hear a criminal case. Different from the past, the trial was broadcast live in official website, Shandong Higher People's Court. According to reports, in the future, every grass-roots court and every business court of the City Intermediate People's Court will report at least 1 cases for live broadcast, and then broadcast live on the website of the Provincial High Court after screening.
On June 5th, at 14, with the sound of a gavel, a collegial panel composed of three judges held a trial on time in theNo. 18 trial court of Qingdao Intermediate People's Court to hear the case of the defendant Zhao Longlong's intentional homicide. It is understood that Zhao Longlong often beat Lu because of his disagreement with his wife Lu after marriage. On August 25 last year, the two quarreled again. On the 26th, Lu told Zhao Longlong that he would get together with friends and could not go home. After understanding the situation, Zhao Longlong bought a fruit knife and followed Lu to a hot pot restaurant. In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Longlong saw Lu and others coming out and rushed to have a dispute with Lu. In the process of Indiana, Lu's friend Wang was stabbed several times and died after being rescued by the hospital. Zhao Longlong was caught red-handed.
Different from previous trials, official website, the Higher People's Court of Shandong Province, conducted a live video broadcast of this trial. According to reports, this is the first time that the Qingdao court system has conducted a live webcast of the trial of criminal cases.
The trial can be broadcast live and replayed. After the trial, the reporter found this trial video with a duration of 1 17 minutes on the website of the Provincial High Court. There are images of judges, prosecutors, defenders, defendants and clerks on the screen, as well as the contents recorded by the clerks. Everyone's every move is unobstructed and the voice is clear.
According to reports, the live broadcast of the trial is an important measure for the people's courts to promote judicial openness and accept supervision from all walks of life. It is also one of the important tasks of the Supreme Law and the Provincial High Court to promote judicial openness this year. Previously, the City Intermediate People's Court had conducted on-site trials on two civil cases. This is the first time that the criminal case of Qingdao Lisan Group defrauding a deposit of 20,000 yuan has been tried by the Municipal Intermediate People's Court. Because this case involves criminal incidental civil mediation, it is necessary to contact the defendant's family and communicate with the victim's family. This case was not pronounced in court.
It is understood that according to the requirements of the Municipal Intermediate People's Court for live trial, every grass-roots court and every business court of the Intermediate People's Court must submit a case with high public concern, great social influence and legal publicity and education significance every month. After screening, it will be reported to the Provincial High Court for live broadcast. In the next step, the live broadcast of the trial will be normalized, and gradually every judge handling the case will have a live broadcast of the trial every year.
Zhang Gang, a lawyer of Shandong Wen Zhuo Law Firm, said that the live webcast exposed the trial process to the sun. "Through this form, the judge's every move is under the supervision of netizens. This requires judges to pay more attention to the fairness of the procedure and pay attention to the details of the trial. " Zhang Gang believes that live broadcast is conducive to promoting judicial transparency and justice and preventing corruption. In addition, he said that for ordinary people, it is also meaningful to watch the trial online without leaving home.
