How time flies! Ten years have passed in an instant, and many people may be a little vague about the case at that time.
/kloc-On the night of February, 2003, Li Tianyi and four other people were drinking in a bar in Haidian District, Beijing, and then they took turns to take a girl to a hotel for sexual assault. On February 19, the woman reported to the police. The next day, the police took Li Tianyi (Li Guanfeng) and other five people under control and criminally detained them.
Then began the investigation and evidence collection and trial process for more than half a year. On September 26th, 20 13, Li Tianyi was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment at first instance 10. The defendant appealed, but the original judgment was upheld two months later. So far, Li Tianyi has been in prison for nearly 10 years.
Li Tianyi's release from prison should not be groundless. Recently, it was reported that Li Shuangjiang and his wife, Dream Pigeon, had dinner with friends and hosted a banquet for their son. In the photo, two people clap their hands and beat time, in a good mood. Without a family in the same box, the saying of "inviting a guest to dinner" can't be confirmed, but at least it can prove that Li Shuangjiang and Meng Ge have got out of the gloom brought by Li Tianyi's imprisonment to this family.
Because he is the son of singer Li Shuangjiang, Li Tianyi got such high attention when he was in prison. From a legal point of view, it doesn't matter whose son Li Tianyi is. He was imprisoned for nearly 10 years and paid the price for his crime. It is his right to return to his family and society, which is beyond reproach.
But at the moral level, everyone has their own criteria. Should Li Tianyi be forgiven? This issue is the focus of public opinion after he rushed to the hot search.
Looking at the opinions of netizens, the advantages and disadvantages are clear.
A certified blogger issued a message calling on everyone to "shut up", arguing that Li Tianyi paid a huge price for his ignorance and arrogance, and it was really not easy for the old couple (Li Shuangjiang and Meng Ge) to spend the best years in their lives behind bars.
On the other hand, the opposing party sided with the victim, thinking that Li Tianyi was only in her twenties after she was released from prison and could start over, but the victim's life was completely ruined and she should not be forgiven.
In fact, netizens who participated in the debate confused the two different concepts of "forgiveness" and "acceptance".
Forgive or not, it should be given to the party concerned, that is, the girl who was hurt at the beginning, not the enthusiastic netizen who quarreled in front of the computer. After all, we are not victims. In other words, we have no right to forgive Li Tianyi.
Will the injured girl forgive him? This may not answer. Of course, the victim doesn't want to be noticed, and she doesn't want to be uncovered 10 years of hard healing scars. She also begged the public not to shift the focus to her and not to let her feel the pressure of public opinion. She needs a safe and quiet life.
What we are arguing about is whether to "accept" Li Tianyi's release from prison or whether to accept him to return to society.
There is no standard answer to this question, because everyone has a moral ruler in his heart.
However, I believe there is no dispute about one thing, that is, if the violent Li Tianyi and his family never repented and didn't think that 10' s career behind bars deserved it, Li Tianyi should not be accepted by the public.
At that time, Li Tianyi wrote a letter to his mother Meng Ge, saying that he "realized that he was wrong", but later wrote "I should not participate, nor should I trust others easily."
However, after Li changed his attorney, the new attorney actually wanted to defend Li Tianyi's innocence and accused the victim of being a "sitting lady". Therefore, Li Tianyi and other four people "forced women into prostitution" instead of sexual assault. Such sophistry is obviously to excuse Li Tianyi.
At the trial, Li Tianyi was also full of lies. At the first trial, he said that he was drunk and fell asleep. At the second trial, he also said that he went out to call his mother, but he didn't see it or participate. The final verdict proved that Li Tianyi was lying. He was the first victim of sexual assault, so he was sentenced to 10 years, while the other four people, except Wang, who was an adult at that time, were sentenced to three years and four years' imprisonment respectively. It can be seen that Li Tianyi was not only involved, but also the principal offender.
I wonder if Li Tianyi and his parents will have the same attitude today after 10? Do you really regret it and feel guilty about the victim? This is the focus of whether the public accepts his return to society, but it may never get a real answer.
