Sanhe People’s Court

“ To substantiate the aforesaid charges, the Prosecution proclaimed and presented pertinent evidence in court, including the confession of the Defendant, witness testimony, screenshots of the Weibo post, an explanatory letter, Weibo registration information, and the photos of the instrument of crime and such.
The Prosecution holds that the Defendant fabricated false information and disseminated it on the information network, causing serious public disorder, and thereby shall be held criminally responsible for the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble. ”

“ The defence counsel of the Defendant argues that the Defendant has no previous criminal record, that she is a first-time and occasional offender with a lesser degree of subjective malignancy, that no serious consequences were caused objectively, and that she has voluntarily pleaded guilty and consented to accept punishments. The defence counsel, therefore, suggests to the Court that a fixed-term imprisonment of six (6) months be given to the Defendant, with suspension applied. ”
