A man in northeast China who last year was sentenced to 13 years in prison for manufacturing toilet handles that looked like gun parts is facing retrial after a provincial court ruled that the original evidence was insufficient.
The Anhui Provincial High People’s Court ruled in a second-instance hearing on March 13 that the “facts were unclear and evidence insufficient” in the original judgment last September, when Jiang Zhiping was convicted of illegally manufacturing, trading and storing guns, Jiang’s relatives told news outlet Thepaper.cn on Tuesday.
