Sun Zhongwei analyzed to the Rule of Law Weekend reporter that if this was a premeditated murder plan, the defendant would not have chosen to commit the crime in a large public office, which would be very unfavorable for his escape after the crime. "Common sense dictates that the defendant could not have killed the victim because he was about to take over his own promotion to a regular post, which is not in line with the logic of the Chinese officialdom," Sun Zhongwei wrote in his "Death Penalty Review Lawyer's Opinion" submitted to the Supreme Court.
The Supreme People's Court reviewed the case and found that the defendant, Xuan, had intentionally and illegally deprived others of their lives, and that his behavior constituted the crime of intentional homicide.
