Dalian Development Area People’s Court People v Yao Yongsheng

Article 67 Voluntary surrender refers to the act of voluntarily delivering oneself up to justice and truthfully confessing one’s crime after one has committed the crime. Any criminal who voluntarily surrenders may be given a lighter or mitigated punishment. The ones whose crimes are relatively minor may be exempted from punishment. If a criminal suspect or a defendant under compulsory measures or a criminal serving a sentence truthfully confesses his other crimes that the judicial organ does not know, his act shall be regarded as voluntary surrender.

The instrument of crime distrained with the case shall be confiscated.
Cyberspace is not a lawless wilderness. Although it differs from the actual physical space, the acts performed within cyberspace are concrete, and the order on the internet is an essential component of public social order. Therefore, as one who worked as a network engineer at a university for over a decade, the Defendant should have the ability to distinguish false information.
