The New Taipei District Court's National Judge's Court continues to hear the death of a substitute named Wen who was killed by a taxi driver named Lin Yujun on the Route 64 Expressway after throwing his bag. Lin still only pleaded guilty to negligent death, but claimed that there was no causal relationship between the death of the deceased and his actions. The victim's family said today that Lin's criminal method was "cold-blooded intentionality" "Killing people." They accused him of being unscrupulous and a devil. After committing the crime, he avoided the easy task and evaded responsibility. He only wanted to win sympathy for having a minor child in order to get a light sentence. He had no intention of remorse. He asked the people's judge to do justice and sentence him to life imprisonment for the crime of murder. The prosecutor asked for 11 years in prison for the crime of abandonment to death. The whole case is scheduled to be pronounced tomorrow afternoon.
During today's court hearing, the prosecutor presented audio recording evidence that Mr. Lin called 110 to report the crime after committing the crime. At that time, he lied to the police that he "drove by" and disguised himself as a bystander as the person who lost the bag. Later, when the police called back, Mr. Lin said that he was the driver, but lied that the victim got out of the car by himself. During the police inquiry and investigation, Mr. Lin held He continued to deny dragging the victim out of the car, and used words such as "get off the car by yourself, please get off the car." It was not until the trial that he admitted that he had lied during the police inquiry and interrogation, but also said that "I had to pull his coat." The prosecutor and the lawyer team appointed by the victim's family believed that Lin lied to conceal key facts of the case and shirk responsibility, which does not meet the requirements for surrender and reduced sentence.
When faced with questioning by the judge, prosecutors and defense today, Lin Nan still emphasized that he made this decision because he was afraid of being attacked by the victim. He also adopted the mourning policy and said that he lied at that time because he was afraid of being held accountable and could not support his children. He was very remorseful and self-blame. He told the truth because he had the courage to face it. He also said that he went to the temple to chant sutras, hold transcendence ceremonies, and copy Buddhist scriptures to dedicate to the deceased.
Before entering the sentencing debate process, the deceased's brother and parents expressed their opinions to the national judge. The mother of the deceased used PTT to introduce her son's academic history, future plans, etc. She cried and complained that Lin's leaving her son who was unable to save himself on the dark expressway was a "cold-blooded intentional murder". She stigmatized her son after committing the crime. She also said that if she could do it all over again, she would not drive at home that day. He just wanted to spend time with his children, and did not reflect on his wrong behavior. He did not raise his head to apologize during the trial, and even tried to sell the property privately and quit his job to avoid compensation. He asked the judge to impose the harshest punishment. The father and brother of the deceased also accused Lin of being cold-blooded, unscrupulous, and a devil, and hoped to sentence him to life imprisonment.
During the sentencing debate, the prosecutor argued that Mr. Lin only admitted negligence causing death, but denied causation, which was not considered a guilty plea at all. Moreover, he was consciously kicked from the back of the chair, did not ask the deceased for an explanation, and actively abandoned the deceased out of anger. His actions destroyed the public's trust in the driver. After the crime, he lied to deceive the prosecutors and shirk responsibility. He asked for 11 years in prison. The full case is scheduled to be sentenced tomorrow.
