Whether Xie Tongxiang's 75-year-old drug dealer can "avoid death" attracts attention.

People's Daily reported: "Whether drug dealers aged 74 to 75 are" free from death "attracts people's attention" (abstract) Lawyer Xie Tongxiang, a member of the Professional Committee of Criminal Procedure Law of Beijing Lawyers Association, was entrusted as the defender of Wang Lunye. Xie Tongxiang told reporters that according to Article 49 of the Criminal Law, the death penalty is not applicable to people who have reached the age of 75 at the time of trial. At present, Wang Lun has reached the age of 75, and the case has entered the stage of death penalty review. Xie Tongxiang believes that in the criminal procedure law, the review of death penalty is listed as a special procedure, but it is still in the chapter of "trial". Therefore, the review of death penalty should also be regarded as a trial.
