Court Observation Recruitment | The Unfinished Su Case: Remand Proceedings (Second Remand)
Last edited: 2026-08-26
Su Chien-ho, Liu Bing-lang, and Chuang Lin-xun were charged with murder in 1991. After enduring 21 years of wrongful imprisonment, they were finally acquitted in 2012. However, nearly 13 years after their acquittal became final, they and their families are still trapped in civil compensation litigation, which has now entered its 35th year.
On August 21, 2025, the Supreme Court rendered the 114-Tai-Shang-Tzu No. 488 Civil Judgment, remanding the case to the Taiwan High Court for the second time. The reasoning behind the Supreme Court Civil Division's remand continues to revolve around confessions obtained through torture, while displaying an extremely loose and perfunctory attitude toward the standards and testing methods for scientific evidence. The judiciary has once again failed to timely mitigate the heavy toll that the wrongful conviction in this case has taken on the lives of the victims and their families.
April 27 marks the second hearing of the second remand proceedings in this case. We invite all partners who care about wrongful conviction redress and how the justice system treats victims of miscarriages of justice to attend the hearing and witness the Su case as it once again moves toward dawn!
＊Courtroom space is limited, and entry for observation on the day of the hearing cannot be guaranteed. Following the hearing, pro bono lawyers for this case will be invited to share their insights on the proceedings, and everyone is warmly encouraged to participate.
