What is a particularly serious criminal case?

Major criminal cases are a classification of criminal cases and cases with serious criminal circumstances. Such as homicide or serious injury; Explosion, arson, water inrush and poisoning cause serious injury, death or heavy property losses; Rape a woman or rape a young girl; Intentionally hurting others, causing death; Causing harm to women; The situation and consequences of human trafficking are serious; Manufacturing and selling drugs; And overseas Chinese, compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao, and foreigners coming to China suffered personal injuries or heavy property losses. All major criminal cases are investigated, prosecuted and tried by the people's courts, people's procuratorates and public security organs on the basis of investigation, research and examination of materials, based on facts and taking the law as the criterion, and investigated and dealt with according to law.

According to the relevant provisions of the Criminal Law Amendment (VIII), the Interpretation increases the sentence of life imprisonment criminals by two years as a whole, that is, if life imprisonment criminals do repent or make meritorious deeds during the execution of the penalty, they can generally be reduced to fixed-term imprisonment of more than 20 years and less than 22 years; Those who have made significant meritorious service may be reduced to fixed-term imprisonment 15 years but not more than 20 years.

The sentence of a suspended criminal whose sentence has not been restricted has been increased, and it is stipulated that if a suspended criminal does repent or perform meritorious service after being commuted to life imprisonment, he can be commuted to 25 years' imprisonment after serving two years' imprisonment; Those who have made significant meritorious service can be reduced to 23 years' imprisonment after serving 2 years' imprisonment, and the minimum sentence actually executed by criminals with a reprieve is raised to 15 years, excluding the reprieve. The Interpretation further clarifies that criminals sentenced to probation for recidivism and intentional homicide, rape, robbery, kidnapping, arson, explosion and organized violent crimes shall not be released on parole after being commuted to life imprisonment or fixed-term imprisonment.

According to the previous judicial interpretation of commutation and parole, criminals sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of more than 10 years can be commuted by 2 years if they show outstanding repentance; If you have significant meritorious service, you can even reduce your sentence by three years; Criminals sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of 10 years or less can only get a one-year commutation at most, even if they show outstanding repentance. The relevant person in charge of the trial supervision court of the Supreme Court said that this provision does not meet the requirements of the criminal policy of combining leniency with severity, which directly leads to the problem of "too fast commutation" in judicial practice. Therefore, the relevant contents of the above-mentioned "the most heinous crime, the circumstances are minor" have been deleted, so that the range of commutation can return to the normal and reasonable track.
