Does the law have special provisions for crimes committed by deaf-mute people? For this reason, the mute Zhang Huai was cruel. One night, he took advantage of others' unpreparedness and set a fire next to Liu Xiang's wheat pile, burning Liu Xiang's wheat. Liu Xiang was going to resort to legal action. But some people say that it is useless to take you to court. If a deaf-mute commits a crime, the law will not hold him criminally responsible. Please tell me, is this really the case? Reader: Comrade Liu Yongtai: Article 33 of our country's Constitution stipulates: "Chinese people are equal before the law." The same is true for dumb people. If his basic rights are violated by others and he suffers losses, he is entitled to protection or compensation in accordance with the law. If he ignores the law because of his physical disability and seriously infringes on the personal and democratic rights of others, he should also be held criminally responsible in accordance with the law. Deaf and blind people are not irresponsible people because they have not lost the ability to discern and control their own behavior. However, due to some physical defects and limited intelligence, their ability to distinguish right from wrong, good and evil is worse than normal people, which may affect their understanding of the things around them to a certain extent, and even make wrong judgments. Therefore, Article 19 of my country's Criminal Law stipulates: "Deaf-mute and blind persons who commit crimes may be given lighter, reduced or exempted penalties." First of all, this provision clearly states that deaf-mute persons should also be punished in accordance with the law. Lawyer Li Wencheng
