Welcome to the TRIAL-by-JURY CIRCUS that this government ENFORCED in the last, justice reform, and the charges almost got, dropped, due to a missed "step" by the D.A.'s office, believe it or don't…off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
The construction worker, Ting after being intoxicated, accidentally killed his coworker, operating a construction vehicle, was charged on drunk-driving manslaughter by the Taichung D.A.'s Office, the Taichung District Court discovered, that this case was "the death that resulted from the intended crime", that this case should be tried by a jury, that the D.A.'s indictment was against the laws, and decided that the courts will not oversee the case; the Taichung D.A.'s Office appealed, and, criticized that the Taichung District Court's not overseeing the case WAS, against the laws, the Taichung High Subsidiary Court believed, that the D.A.'s mistakes can be "amended", sent the case back to the district court to try.
The indictment stated, Ting (age 37) after getting drunk at a betel nut stand in December of 2020, drove the construction vehicle onto the construction site, didn't realize that his coworker, Zhou was behind the vehicle, as he was backing up, he'd, accidentally, run Zhou, over, causing Zhou to sustain severe fractures from his waist down, and Zhou died, Ting's breathalyzer showed 0.44mL.
The D.A. confirmed, that the construction site manager, Yen, and the engineer at the construction site, He had broken the laws of occupational safety laws, and indicted both on manslaughter charges; and in another case, prosecuted Ting on public endangerment.
The first trial found, that Ting's behavior fitted to the requirements of trial-by-jury, but the D.A.'s office, used the normal indictment means, that the D.A.'s Office went against the regulations, and didn't make up for the lacking, and stated that the public trial won't stand.
The D.A. filed for an appeal, that the jury system not being considered, as an oversight, that can be amended, that the courts should "notify the district attorneys to get the filed papers back"; the first trial didn't amend for this, and the courts decided it won't try the case, that is, breaking the laws.
The D.A. pointed out, that the verdict from the courts of not processing the case, there's no words on the reasons, and the courts did NOT gone through the procedurals of getting the papers back to the D.A.'s Offices for a review, to amend the indicted charges, believed that the ruling was, flawed.
The second trial found, that the D.A.'s indictment of Ting's unsafe driving causing a man to die, fitted to the trial-by-jury, but the D.A. went through the regular indictment processes, that the D.A. had, broken the laws of the trial, but, this is easily made up for, and so, the verdict of dropping the original indictment was tossed back, sent back to the Taichung District Court, to have other jurors who hadn't read or reviewed over the facts of the case to try.
And so, this is on the, mistakes of the, procedurals, and, that, is just, the "contraction pains" from the newly implemented system of trial by jury, and, this will keep on happening, repeatedly, until this system of jury is finally, fitted properly to the country's means. Dropping the manslaughter charges, just because the D.A. missed a detail of how this should've been a trial by jury case, that's, just, losing focus on the important thing. I mean, what's important, is that someone PAYS for how this man was, run over by his friend who got, drunk, right, unless, this country is okay with, letting these, minor offenders, who may or may not, repeatedly offend run loose onto the streets of this, "country" of ours, and, I REST MY, C-A-S-E here!
