Old Rong Zhi's case has been tried for the second time, and he was sentenced to death. After waiting for the Supreme People's Court's approval, his family said they would appeal. In fact, the appeal is already a small probability event. In our country, both civil and criminal cases adopt the system of second instance. After the judgment of the first instance comes out, the defendant has the right to appeal. As long as the appeal is made, it must be tried by a higher court. Whether the case is controversial or not, as long as the plaintiff or defendant appeals, it must be tried. This is the right given to every citizen by law, and the judicial organ shall not reject the second instance after appeal for any reason. The verdict of the second instance means that the whole routine trial process is completed, and then it enters the execution stage. Fixed-term imprisonment, life imprisonment and probation offenders who are transferred to prison to serve their sentences and executed immediately shall be executed after approval by the Supreme Court.
Old Rong Zhi can't appeal any more. After all, it's all final. The word "final" determines that there is no possibility of repeated appeals. However, the law still gives him another right, that is, the right of appeal.
According to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, after the result of the second trial comes out, the defendant and his close relatives can appeal to the judicial organs, but the appeal is different from the appeal and must be heard in court. The appeal can be heard without a court session, and most of the appeal cases do not meet the conditions for hearing.
