On the morning of November 30, the Jiangxi Provincial Higher People’s Court publicly announced the second instance verdict on Luo Rongzhi’s appeal case of intentional homicide, robbery, and kidnapping, ruling to reject the appeal and uphold the death sentence.
Although Wu Danhong was of high quality, the court upheld the original verdict. After the verdict was announced, Rao Rongzhi’s second brother Rao Shengqiao entrusted another well-known lawyer, Lawyer Liu Changsong. Although it is a final verdict, in theory, Rong Zhi still has one chance to change his sentence, which is a death penalty review. Lawyer Liu Changsong will represent Rao Rongzhi's death penalty review case together with Wu Danhong, the previous second-instance lawyer.
