I am Hsu Tzu-chiang, I Want a Real Trial—Hundred-Person Choir Support Press Conference

Following the two evidence-investigation proceedings held on June 24 and July 8 this year in the Hsu Tzu-chiang case, today (the 15th) is expected to complete the presentation of the interrogation records of the two co-defendants, Huang Ch'un-ch'i and Ch'en I-lung. Next, whether the collegial panel will approve the defense team's motions for evidence investigation—including on-site inspections and the summoning of police officers—or directly proceed to the next round of oral arguments to conclude the retrial (the ninth remand), will be the crux of today's court session. If the collegial panel refuses to investigate evidence favorable to Hsu Tzu-chiang and directly closes the case, the ninth remand will likely remain a mere formality, and the doubts in the Hsu Tzu-chiang case will likely still fail to be clarified.

Today, more than one hundred passionate citizens gathered in front of the Taiwan High Court, wearing "I am Hsu Tzu-chiang +1" T-shirts, singing the song "Inner Thoughts" together, and chanting the slogan, "I am Hsu Tzu-chiang, I want a real trial," demanding that the collegial panel not rush to a hasty conclusion.
