On the application of death penalty in Li Changkui case

Li Changkui was given a suspended death sentence in the second trial of Yunnan Higher Court,which has aroused a fierce debate nationwide over the application of death penalty.Some judges believe that the outdated view that the killer must pay for their crimes needs a change,while the public deem that an eye for an eye or a death for a death is still justified.The very debate,in one way or another,has served as a driving force for the construction of China’s law system and law-publicizing education.
