The Yao Jiaxin incident is more of a social tragedy

The Yao Jiaxin incident is by no means an isolated incident, but it shows that there is something wrong with our system and society. "Neurotic disorders." Sound human nature and corruption of the system have never been mutually exclusive. In recent years, some local governments have ignored human life and dignity, and the crisis has been hidden in a series of social incidents, such as the Yihuang incident and other forced demolition tragedies, the unjust case of Zhao Zuohai, and cross-provincial pursuits. When formulating laws and policies, some departments often do everything possible to avoid their responsibilities and obligations, leaving more rights and no responsibilities to themselves. When there is a problem with power, amassing wealth and distributing resources according to proximity will tear apart social morality and relationships between people - and they will "transmit" their effects to human nature, causing large-scale corruption of human nature.

Power disorder makes society crazy

Theorist Shi Yong believes that when the neurotic disorder of power is transmitted to society, it can only make a society crazy. In 2010, "My dad is Li Gang!" became a classic saying. "Second-generation officials" and "second-generation rich" speed driving and hit people constitute a contemporary spectacle. These phenomena show that power and money have firmly established dominant ideologies in society, and the poor are being humiliated. The disparity between rich and poor inevitably sows the seeds of conflict. But when there are great risks, conflicts will not emerge on the surface of society, but will appear in the form of the prevalence of "hidden rules", social venting of anger, lack of integrity, and crazy worship of money. They constitute an alternative outlet for the powerful

The Yao Jiaxin incident also reflects a social psychology

Human psychological events are just the psychological aspect of social events. Unchecked power and a crazy society have a huge impact on people's psychological structure. Observing the social psychology, anxiety, resentment, apathy, fear, insecurity, and uncertainty permeate Chinese society. After losing the guardianship of justice and morality, the cruelty and violence of human nature are always waiting for opportunities to vent. It was against the above background that the cruelty of Yao Jiaxin, a college student from Xi'an who hit someone and then killed a peasant woman, emerged. Including Qiu Xinghua from a few years ago, they are all this figure.

The verdict in the Yao Jiaxin case is of exemplary significance

The Yao Jiaxin case has aroused widespread concern and heated discussion in society. Yesterday, Yao Jiaxin was charged with intentional homicide. After the death penalty was imposed in the first instance, some legal experts also expressed their opinions on the case.

The amount of civil compensation is somewhat low

Bi Mingxiong, an arbitrator of the Chengdu Arbitration Commission and a lawyer at Ruiding Law Firm, believes that in terms of criminal matters, the court of first instance made a fair judgment based on the facts and law, but The amount of compensation awarded in terms of incidental civil compensation was too low. He said: "Facts have proved that the court of first instance was not affected by the audit questionnaire, and there was no problem of being manipulated by power. The judiciary is still independent and fair." He believes that this case is not over yet. It is estimated that there will be a second instance, and finally there will be a second instance. There is a death penalty review process by the Supreme People's Court.

This case has certain exemplary significance

Lawyer Yue Cheng said that the judgment in this case has exemplary significance for the trials of similar cases in the future. He said: The purpose of punishment has two points. One is special prevention, that is, punishment and warning to the defendant himself and the criminal perpetrator to prevent re-offending; second, general prevention, that is, to warn society through punishment of criminal perpetrators. Peace elements, tell them that such behavior is illegal and otherwise they will be punished.

Lawyer Bi believes that the judiciary needs to rebuild public trust and authority through such cases. Judicial independence must first be independent of those in power. At the same time, it must not be swayed by public opinion. The courts are only loyal to the law.

On the morning of February 11, 2012, it was learned at the Provincial Court Deans’ Meeting (Shaanxi) that the Yao Jiaxin intentional homicide case was ranked first among the top ten quality cases in the national courts in 2011 by the Supreme People’s Court. and was commended by the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

It is normal for the public to applaud Yao Jiaxin after he was sentenced to death

Most of the public expressed relief that Yao Jiaxin was sentenced to death in the first instance. In fact, the vast majority of netizens have no relationship with the victim. What seems a bit strange is that Yao Jiaxin was sentenced to death in the first instance, but many netizens applauded.

Taking eight knives in a row turned an ordinary traffic accident into an intentional homicide. Yao Jiaxin’s actions lacked humanity, broke the bottom line of human ethics, and triggered public outrage. Therefore, although ordinary netizens have nothing to do with Zhang Miao, it has stimulated the nerves of every ordinary person.

With such a narrative basis, in the eyes of the public, if the court sentences Yao Jiaxin to the heaviest penalty for not complying with the law, it means condoning or condoning illegal crimes, which means that he will be removed from the legal cage. More "Yao Jiaxin" was released, and in this way, the protective shield of public safety was broken, and everyone walked into a jungle society and era where the jungle was strong and everyone was in danger.

Under the existing legal framework, the law and the public will naturally have a judgment standard for how Yao Jiaxin should be punished by the law. Especially in a context where many hidden rules prevail, judicial credibility is low, the public's belief in law is shaken, and fairness and justice are hard to come by, the public not only uses this steelyard to judge whether the court's sentence against Yao Jiaxin is appropriate, but also uses this steelyard to weigh the court. With a sense of fairness, use this steelyard to measure social fairness, justice and hope, and use it to judge whether you want to believe in the law in the future.

It can be seen that the legal punishment of Yao Jiaxin is no longer an ordinary traffic accident and ordinary murder case, but a case involving human nature, public safety, judicial justice and legal beliefs, Social events that comfort the public and promote social fairness and justice. It has risen to such a high level that the trial of Yao Jiaxin has attracted great attention from public opinion and netizens. Yao Jiaxin's death sentence in the first trial has attracted the applause of many netizens. This is normal.
