Must there be evidence of rape in the appraisal?
According to the provisions of China's criminal procedure law, evidence is the most important condition for determining whether a criminal suspect constitutes a crime, so evidence is a necessary condition for determining rape. According to Article 200 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), after the defendant made his final statement, the presiding judge announced an adjournment. After deliberation, the collegial panel made the following judgments according to the facts, evidence and relevant laws and regulations: (1) If the facts of the case are clear, the evidence is true and sufficient, and the defendant is found guilty according to law, a guilty verdict will be made; (2) If the defendant is found innocent according to law, a verdict of innocence shall be made; (3) If the defendant cannot be found guilty due to insufficient evidence, a verdict of acquittal shall be made because the accused crime cannot be established due to insufficient evidence.
