It is understood that Fulin will entrust Xie Tongxiang, a Beijing lawyer and president of the China Lawyers and Justice Network, to take over Lin Senhao's case. In his Weibo profile, Xie Tongxiang calls himself "a professional lawyer in the Supreme People's Court's death penalty review and a death penalty defense lawyer." He is also the chief lawyer of the Supreme People's Court Death Penalty Review Lawyers Network.
According to a person in the criminal defense field, the death penalty review stage requires lawyers to negotiate with the Supreme Court. The business requirements for lawyers to be responsible for the overall situation are relatively high. Therefore, the death penalty review stage is a great test of the lawyer's skills and the business is very difficult. Existing information shows that Xie Tongxiang is particularly good at defending criminal cases and reviewing death sentences in the Supreme People's Court. Many of the intentional homicide cases he handled were not approved during the review stage of the Supreme Court and the sentences were changed.
