The Development of Nie Shubin Case

In March 2005, dozens of national media such as Henan Business Daily, China Youth Daily, Legal Morning Post, Southern Weekend, Beijing Youth Daily, Beijing News and Jinghua Times disclosed that on June 5438+ 10 18, 2005, the police of Suohe Road Police Station in Xingyang City, Henan Province arrested Wang Shujin, a fugitive wanted online by Hebei Provincial Public Security Department. Wang Shujin confessed that he had raped and killed many times, one of which was in August 1994, when he raped and killed a woman in her thirties in a cornfield next to Shijiazhuang Hydraulic Parts Factory, while she was working.

On June 5438+1October 65438+September 2005, the police in Xingyang City, Henan Province handed over Wang Shujin to the police in Guangping County, Hebei Province. On June 22, 2005, the police in Guangping County, Hebei Province took Wang Shujin to the cornfield contracted by Ma Zhen, a villager in kong zhai Village, Luquan City, next to Shijiazhuang Hydraulic Co., Ltd. (formerly Shijiazhuang Hydraulic Parts Factory), and identified him as the crime scene at that time.

On March 17, 2005, the spokesman of Hebei Provincial Public Security Bureau announced to the media that the leaders of Hebei Provincial Public Security Bureau had noticed the media reports on this case and paid attention to it. The leaders of the Ministry of Public Security and the Political and Legal Committee of Hebei Province are also extremely concerned about this matter. Hebei Provincial Public Security Department organized special forces to conduct investigation and review.

Today, his parents have been running between the Higher People's Court of Hebei Province, the People's Procuratorate of Hebei Province and the Public Security Department of Hebei Province for more than two years without any results.

After Wang Shujin, the "real murderer" who was sentenced to death in April 2007, appealed, in two years, the Nie Shubin case once again turned from the peak to absolute silence. There are indications that the Nie Shubin case may never have a chance for retrial and conviction.

After Nie Shubin's case was exposed in April 2005, Hebei Political and Legal Committee set up a working group to re-investigate Nie's case. At that time, faced with the close attention of the national media, Hebei announced that it would publish the survey results as soon as possible. However, four years later, this promise has not been fulfilled.

Nie Shubin's mother, Zhang Huanzhi, went to the Hebei Provincial High Court several times to seek the investigation results. In four years, she got the same answer: "We are reviewing and will have the result soon". Until March 20 10, a judge in charge of reviewing Nie's case in Hebei High Court told Nie's mother that the investigation results had come out and reported to the dean. But what was the result? The judge said that he could not disclose it to Nie Mu.

From March 2005, when Wang Shujin was arrested and confessed all the crimes, until he met with his lawyer, he didn't know that there was a "murderer" in the cornfield case of 1995, and he didn't know that a man named Nie Shubin had been shot as a criminal. In the trial of the court of first instance, Wang Shujin wanted to confess the rape and murder in the cornfield voluntarily, but was interrupted by the judge on the grounds of "nothing to do with the charges" and rejected by the prosecution on the grounds of "no evidence found".

In April 2007, after the verdict was pronounced in the first instance, Wang Shujin appealed to the Hebei Provincial High Court on the grounds that the rape and murder case in the cornfield in the western suburb of Shijiazhuang was not prosecuted. In the appeal, he said: "I confessed the crimes I committed in Hebei Province to the Suohe Road Police Station in Xingyang City, Henan Province on June 5438+1October 8, 2005, including the rape and murder case in the cornfield in the western suburbs of Shijiazhuang ... I confirmed these policemen of Guangping County, Hebei Province ... The police also led me to identify the crime scene, which was found according to my memory at that time."

In Wang Shujin's appeal psychology, there is a faint expectation that he can get possible leniency by voluntarily confessing the case. He said, "I am a guilty man. I don't care if there is one more case or one less case, but I don't want to see others suffer severe punishment for me because of my reasons ... I hope the higher court can make a significant contribution to this case and give me a chance to start again. "

On July 3rd, 2007, the Higher People's Court of Hebei Province held a public hearing in the second instance to hear the case of Wang Shujin. According to the participants in the trial, Wang Shujin continued to confess to the Shijiazhuang cornfield case that was not included in the public prosecution. After the trial, legal persons speculated that it was very likely that the death sentence would be upheld in the second instance. However, two years have passed and the judgment of the second instance has not yet come out. 1October 20th, 10, Wang Shujin's lawyer called the presiding judge and asked when the verdict would be made. Judge Liu said that because of the special circumstances of the case, he had no decision-making power without the instructions of the leader. Southern Weekend reporter also learned that during the re-examination of the outside world, the families and friends of the victims in Nie's case did not accept any form of investigation. They were the first people to see the crime scene with the police that year. Lawyer Li Shuting said that they are the most important witnesses at the crime scene, and the review should not bypass them. On June 5, 2007, the Supreme People's Court replied that the complaint materials had been forwarded to the Hebei Provincial High Court, which was in charge of Nie's complaint. He Weifang, a famous law professor, was indignant at its absurdity: "It happened that the institution that undertook the function of error correction was the institution that created unjust cases in those years. This is like a fictional scene in a cartoon by Mr. Fang Cheng: humiliated Qin Xianglian complained to Bao Zheng, and Bao Zheng waved his hand on the complaint-"Please ask Comrade Chen Shimei to investigate"!

It seems that the Supreme Court's hope of handling the "Nie Shubin case" is the same as when it tried Shenyang. Two years ago, news from the Supreme Court said that Nie's case was classified as a "major case" and a special person had been appointed to conduct a retrial review of the whole case. This highly anticipated action ultimately did not release any information. He Weifang, a jurist who has been paying attention to this case, put his comments on Nie Shubin case at the top of his blog. He analyzed that the Hebei High Court was very difficult. To admit your mistake is to admit your bad luck. It's like grabbing your hair and leaving the earth. If you don't correct it, your conscience will not pass, the parties will be unlucky, and the pressure of public opinion will be so great that you may have to bear greater responsibility in the end. Endless procrastination is the result of the interweaving of these two mentalities.

He Weifang believes that there are three ways to deal with the Nie Shubin case. First, investigations and trials are conducted by higher institutions than Hebei Province, namely the Supreme Court and the Supreme Procuratorate, because they are unlikely to be bound and bound by local interests; Second, the Supreme Court appoints another provincial judicial body to conduct a comprehensive trial of the case, which can also remain neutral. Third, according to Article 7 1 of the Constitution, the National People's Congress or the the NPC Standing Committee may set up special committees to investigate specific matters and make resolutions. "Now this case is a test of the whole system and gives people confidence in this country. They are no longer indifferent to human life, and they are no longer afraid of being wronged and not being solved well. I believe this is a particularly good opportunity. I hope relevant departments can seize this opportunity. " He Weifang urgent appeal.

Judging from the twists and turns in the "Nie Shubin case" for four years, no one is willing to seize this opportunity, and no one thinks it is an opportunity. The truth of the "Nie Shubin case" will probably die with Nie Shubin forever. On the morning of July 13 and July/20 10, the Hebei Provincial High Court held its third trial in the second instance of Handan Intermediate People's Court to hear the case of the appellant Wang Shujin's rape and intentional homicide. The trial began at 9: 00 am. The first half of the trial was a public trial of the facts of murder, and the second half was a closed trial of the facts of rape. The Hebei Provincial High Court rejected Wang Shujin's appeal and upheld the original judgment.

Wang Shujin was found not to be the real murderer in the Nie Shubin case.

According to the official Weibo "Hebei Higher People's Court" of Hebei Higher People's Court, the Hebei Higher People's Court publicly pronounced the case of the appellant Wang Shujin's rape and intentional homicide in the trial court of Handan Intermediate People's Court this morning. The Hebei Provincial High Court rejected Wang Shujin's appeal and upheld the original judgment.

The court found that there were significant differences between Wang Shujin's confession mentioned by the public prosecutor and Shijiazhuang's rape and intentional homicide cases in some key circumstances, and that Wang Shujin was not responsible for Shijiazhuang's rape and intentional homicide cases, and his appeal grounds could not be established, which was supported by the court. 20 14 12 12 the Supreme People's Court ordered the Shandong higher people's court to review the case of Nie Shubin's intentional homicide and rape of women. According to the application of Hebei Higher People's Court and the spirit of relevant laws and regulations, the Supreme People's Court decided to take Nie Shubin's case of intentional homicide and rape of women as the final judgment of Hebei Higher People's Court, and instructed Shandong Higher People's Court to review it.

20 14 12 12 The judge of the collegial panel in charge of the review of Nie Shubin case met with Nie Shubin's close relatives and their agents, and served Zhang Huanzhi with the decision to file a case for review according to law. The situation of the victim's family

"1994, the plaintiff's relatives were killed, which led to the breakdown of the family, the elderly were left unattended, the villain was raised, the needle tip was cut off, and Lacrimosa was bleeding heavily ..." In this plaintiff's complaint, the family of Kang, the victim of the Nie Shubin case, believed that during 17, the internet, the media and lawyers repeatedly infringed on her family.

201111year1month, this complaint was sent to jingxing mining area court. Two months later, Liu, an attorney at the appeal stage of Nie Shubin's case, received a summons from the jingxing mining area court. According to the summons, the court has accepted the reputation infringement lawsuit filed by Kang's family, and asked Liu to appear in court on the morning of March 19, 2065438.

Sue all parties for invasion of privacy

Six other joint infringers were brought to court by the Kang family: Nie Shubin's mother, the lawyer representing the "real murderer" in Nie case, and four websites: People's Daily, China Economic Net, Chinese Search Net and Legal Net.

The lawsuit initiated by Kang's family mainly revolved around two facts: on 20th11September16th, lawyer Liu participated in a video talk show on People's Daily, where he showed and read out the judgments of the first and second trials of Nie Shubin's case. Kang's family thinks that Liu didn't protect the privacy of Kang's family when he announced his study.

In addition, Liu published "An Unfinished Diary of a Lawyer's Work" on the Chinese search website, which was as long as 1 1 page, and repeatedly mentioned Kang's real name, occupation, work unit and address. The article was also reprinted by other websites, which caused the dissatisfaction of the Kang family.

In the complaint, Kang's family wrote: After the above articles and videos were spread through the Internet, many media reporters called and even netizens called to ask about the verdict. /kloc-the pain of losing my daughter 0/7 years ago was once again evoked. "No matter who is the murderer, Nie and Wang, the plaintiff and the relatives of the victim are victims. No unit or individual has the right to disclose the judgment of privacy cases, let alone the surnames, names, privacy cases and personal information of plaintiffs and relatives. "

Therefore, Kangjia requested the court to order the above-mentioned websites to delete relevant videos and blog posts, and ordered Liu to compensate for economic and mental damages totaling 1.2 million yuan. Lawyer Liu confirmed to the Southern Weekend reporter that he had received the relevant documents from the court. In response to Kang's lawsuit, he explained that although Nie's case was not heard in public, it did not mean that the judgment should not be made public.

Liu said frankly that the name of the victim was written in the judgment, and it was best to hide it when it was made public. "So it's not that the Kang family filed a lawsuit for no reason." However, Liu stressed that he cited the judgment of Nie case for public welfare purposes. In order to publicize Nie case, "the judgment must be made public".

The pain of losing a daughter has been repeatedly mentioned.

It was not lawyers and the media who first exposed the privacy information of the victim's daughter, but the case-handling organ.

According to Kang Jia's statement in the complaint:1In September, 1994, after Shijiazhuang police arrested Nie Shubin and announced that the case was solved, Kang Jia suspected that the police had solved the case too quickly. However, at the insistence of the police, the Kang family chose to believe and sent a banner to the police.

However, since then, the police have provided the privacy-related materials of the case to local newspapers in Hebei, such as Social Security Daily, Shijiazhuang Daily and Police Window, which aroused the anger of the Kang family. What the Kang family couldn't bear was that the police also provided the video of the victim Kang's body to Shijiazhuang TV station, which triggered a series of reputation infringement lawsuits against the above media.

Surprisingly, Nie Shubin's mother, Zhang Huanzhi, also received a summons from the court. Mother's only son 17 years ago was shot, but she told reporters that she always expressed her understanding and sympathy for the victim's Kang family. "There is only one daughter in their family-no matter which one is the murderer."

But since the Kang family filed a lawsuit and said: I will still appear in court, but "I won't take it to heart"-the important thing is the case of my son Nie Shubin, and I can't give up.

There is no answer to the complaint.

A little-known fact is that the verdict of Kang, the victim of Nie Shubin case, has been appealed for many years-even before the Nie Shubin family 10 years.

1in March, 1995, Nie Shubin's case was heard in the first instance of Shijiazhuang Intermediate People's Court, and Kang Jia appeared in court as a litigant in an incidental civil action. In court, the Kang family raised five questions about this case: 1. On-site clothing, off-site clothing, bicycle placement and on-site traces, etc. All of them are inconsistent with the time when the criminals commit crimes, and there are passers-by interference; 2. The victim Kang learned self-defense before his death. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for Nie Shubin to subdue Kang and kill him; 3. Kang's front teeth fall off; 4. The remains and clothes are not in one place, and it is suspected that the crime scene is not the first scene; 5. Suspected to be a hired killer.

During the trial, the Kang family also asked Nie Shubin, "Was it instigated to commit a crime?" But the judge stopped the Kang family from asking questions on the grounds that "these things don't belong to you" and ignored the five questions of the Kang family.

In the complaint materials, the Kang family recalled that in the trial of Nie Shubin case, Zhang Jinghe, the defender of Nie Shubin, only said something similar to "the child is young and should be given a lighter punishment" and did the work of the victim Kang family, saying that Nie family could pay more money.

1March 99515th, Shijiazhuang intermediate people's court sentenced Nie Shubin to death in the first instance, and ordered him to compensate the victim's family for the funeral expenses of 2000 yuan. Nie Shubin appealed against the excessive sentencing, and the victim Konka appealed to the Hebei Provincial High Court on the grounds that the court of first instance failed to find out many doubts in the case and the civil compensation was too low.

A month later, the Hebei Provincial High Court did not hold a hearing and upheld the judgment of the court of first instance. 1On April 27th, 995, Nie Shubin, who was under 2 1 year old, was shot. The 60,000 yuan civil compensation claim advocated by the victim Konka was also rejected.

Since then, the Kang family has started the road of 17. According to the description of the Kang family, as of 2007 alone, the Kang family "applied for control for more than 30 times", during which it experienced hardships.

At the beginning of 2005, Henan police arrested the criminal suspect Wang Shujin, and Nie Shubin's case appeared "two murders in one case", which caused public outcry. After learning that their son may not be the real murderer, Nie Shubin's parents, like the Kang family, embarked on a long road of complaint.

The end of bullying by the weak?

The Kang family, who has been forbearing, suddenly filed a lawsuit against the Nie family, which made people who have long been concerned about the Nie case feel very sorry: two families with the same goal have become bullies.

According to a local legal person in Hebei Province, the complaint of the victim's Kang family was also taken care of by the judge in charge of Nie Shubin's complaint in Hebei Provincial High Court. At first, some people speculated that Nie and Kang, who share the same goal, will inevitably join hands to promote Nie's appeal and succeed soon, but things are unpredictable.

The Kang family recalled that in June, 2006, 65438+ 10, after the Nie case appeared, the Kang family submitted the complaint material "Who is the real murderer, Wang Shujin or Nie Shubin" to the Hebei Provincial High Court for the sixth time, demanding a conclusion on who is the real murderer. The three judges accepted the Kang family's materials and promised to give them to the dean, promising to reply within two months.

Around this time, Nie Shubin's family also appealed the case to the Supreme Court. On June 5438+065438+ 10, 2007, the Supreme People's Court replied to Nie's mother that the case had been referred to the Hebei Provincial High Court for handling, and asked Zhang to contact the hospital. In the following four years, Zhang Huanzhi went to the Hebei Provincial High Court at least once a month, but so far there was no result.

On July 3, 2007, KLOC-0, Wang Shujin's case was heard in the second instance of Hebei Provincial High Court in private. In court, Wang Shujin confessed to the "western suburb cornfield case" that was not included in the public prosecution. However, up to now, the Hebei Provincial High Court has not yet made a second-instance judgment. Wang Shujin's defense lawyer Zhu Aimin confirmed to reporters that Wang Shujin is still being held in Guangping County Detention Center.

"Nie Jia's complaint, Konka's complaint, and the second trial of Wang Shujin's case-three telegrams, like three streams, all gathered in the Hebei Provincial High Court."

In Shijiazhuang, the victim Kang's father, who is over 70 years old, is still writing complaint materials about his daughter's murder-in his home, all kinds of complaint materials of 17 have been piled up from the ground to the roof, which is more than 2 meters high.

Although Nie and Kang have complained for many years, the Kang family has always been extremely cautious about media interviews and external legal help, while Nie's complaint relies heavily on the media and lawyers, and it is inevitable that there are words referring to the privacy of the Kang family.

For a time, the Kang family enjoyed Nie's complaint, but as time went on, the Kang family who failed to complain gradually could not tolerate their family being repeatedly mentioned, and finally filed a lawsuit against Nie's family, lawyers and the media at the end of 201/kloc-0.

On the afternoon of February 2nd, 20 12, Nie Shubin's mother Zhang Huanzhi came to the Hebei Provincial High Court again. Just as more than four years ago, the presiding judge of the Nie case kindly said to the 67-year-old, "Wait a little longer" and "the court will definitely have a result if it doesn't give up its work". On the same day, the victim's family also called the Hebei Provincial High Court to inquire about the progress of the complaint, and got a similar reply to Nie.

On September 27th, 20 13, the Higher People's Court of Hebei Province publicly pronounced the case of the appellant Wang Shujin's rape and intentional homicide in the trial court of Handan Intermediate People's Court on the morning of 10. The prosecution believes that Wang Shujin is not responsible for the rape and murder case of cornfield 1994 in the western suburb of Shijiazhuang.

Opinions will be submitted before the death penalty is approved.

After the verdict, Wang Shujin's attorney, Zhu Aimin, said that the result was expected, but he would continue to express his defense opinions during the review of the Supreme People's Court's death penalty. "In 1994, I insist that the chain of evidence of crimes in Wang Shujin is more complete than that in Nie Shubin."

For the judgment of the second instance, the prosecution's opinion was adopted in relevant details, but the defense's opinion was not supported. This case happened earlier. "Since the Hebei High Court adopts double standards, since the public prosecutor's speculation can be confirmed, why can't Wang Shujin's memory errors be objectively evaluated and understood?"

Zhu Aimin said that they would submit their opinions to the Supreme Court before the death penalty approval results came out. The People's Procuratorate of Hebei Province, the public prosecution agency, adduced a lot of new evidence to prove that Wang Shujin was not responsible for the rape and murder case of cornfield 1994 in the western suburb of Shijiazhuang. The defense lawyer did not respond directly, but questioned the source and legitimacy of the evidence.

1. Does the victim's body have clothes?

Wang Shujin (court statement): The victim was naked when he left the scene. He took the victim's clothes.

Prosecution: The transcript of on-site investigation and autopsy report of "rape and murder case in Xijiao 1994" showed that the victim's body was wearing a white vest, full of nylon stockings, and corn stalks were pressed around his neck. After the corn stalk was removed, he was wrapped in a flower shirt around his neck.

2. How did the victim die?

Wang Shujin: After the rape, I jumped up and stepped on the victim's chest. I stamped it many times. I heard the victim's bones banging, and I thought my ribs were broken.

Prosecution: The results of forensic identification show that the victim's body in this case has no fracture except a flower shirt wrapped around his neck; The victim died of suffocation.

3. When was the victim killed?

Wang Shujin: The crime happened at one or two o'clock at noon.

Prosecution: The testimony of the victim's colleague shows that the victim was killed after work at 5 pm.

4. How tall is the victim?

Wang Shujin: The victim is about his height.

Prosecution: According to the autopsy report, the height of the victim is 1.52 meters, but the height of Wang Shujin is 1.72 meters. The two sides are very different.

Prosecution response

1In August, 1994, when a rape and murder case occurred in a cornfield in the western suburbs of Shijiazhuang, Wang Shujin was working in a construction site near the crime scene. The linear distance from the site is about100m. According to Wang Shujin's confession, during his part-time job, he didn't rest at noon and often wandered around the construction site, so he was familiar with the environment, roads and terrain around the construction site. After the case happened, the public security organ asked Wang Shujin and his workers about the situation. On August 5, after the victim disappeared from work, his family reported the case to the public security organ and organized personnel to look for it. After the victim's clothes and bodies were found, many people watched. Therefore, it is not surprising that Wang Shujin confessed to the scene of rape and murder in a cornfield in the western suburbs of Shijiazhuang.

On September 27th, 20 13, at the trial site of Wang Shujin's case, the prosecution refuted this, saying that the confession was different from the plot.

Regarding the prosecution's opinion, lawyer Zhu Aimin said that he still believed that the case was committed by Wang Shujin. Regarding the details of the case repeatedly emphasized by the prosecution, Zhu Aimin said that nearly 20 years have passed since the murder of 1994, and it is good for Wang Shujin to remember it. All the details provided by the prosecution can't fundamentally conclude that Wang Shujin didn't do the case. Doubt of evidence

After the trial, Nie Shubin's mother, Zhang Huanzhi, walked out of the court accompanied by her son-in-law. As soon as he walked out of the court, in the face of numerous media interviews, Zhang Huanzhi shouted: "I don't believe that the evidence submitted by the public prosecution agency is false."

Zhang Huanzhi said that when Nie Shubin was arrested, the public security organs showed her a shirt at home. Police said that Nie Shubin strangled a woman with this shirt. Until now, she still remembers the long-sleeved flowered shirt presented by the police. In this trial, the evidence presented by the Hebei Provincial Procuratorate did have shirts, but they were all short sleeves, which made her unable to agree.

Zhang Huanzhi said that in this trial, she and her son-in-law were sitting in the eighth row, some distance away from the seats of the judges in the front row. In addition, her memory has declined when she is old, and she can't remember the contents of this trial. Zhang Huanzhi said that she would definitely attend the next trial.

The evidence is flawed.

According to Zhu Aimin, the record of the on-site inspection of Nie case submitted by the prosecution bears the signature of the on-site police, but it does not bear the seal of the public security organ, which is illegal and flawed in terms of formal requirements.

In addition, in the forensic identification of Nie's case, one of the two forensic personnel signed but not sealed, and the other sealed and not signed (the sealed seal is not a special seal for forensic identification, because both of them have numbers), and there are also legal flaws, which cannot prove Nie's case.

Zhu Aimin said that before the trial, the prosecution did not submit the relevant file materials to the court in advance, which brought inconvenience to their cross-examination. At the same time, the relevant materials submitted by the prosecution are copies, and there is no way to judge the legality of the evidence.

Zhu Aimin proposed to postpone the trial of the case, and the Hebei Provincial High Court coordinated the Hebei Provincial Procuratorate to retrieve the relevant file materials. Nie Shubin's case file has not been made public since it was exposed.

The prosecution said that the defender believes that the on-site investigation transcripts and autopsy reports are flawed, which is not enough to deny the objective authenticity of the on-site investigation transcripts and autopsy reports, and it is not illegal evidence exclusion.

Is it the real killer?

The prosecution insisted that Wang Shujin didn't do it, and adduced many new evidences. Including the on-site inspection record of Nie case, forensic identification, the report materials of the victim's family, the investigation materials of Kang's husband and the relevant evidence materials of the case. For example, on April 10, 2006, a certificate issued by Yuhua Branch of Shijiazhuang Public Security Bureau stated that during the period of 1993-1995, there were no other rape and murder cases in the cornfield in the western suburbs of Shijiazhuang.

Lawyer Nie Shubin.

Killing Wang Shujin will never know the truth.

After being sentenced, the reporter immediately contacted Nie Shubin's attorney Liu. Lawyer Liu said that the evidence in the judgment was insufficient. "I can only write this, because there is no conclusive evidence to deny him, such as he is not at the scene, where the evidence was obtained, and who said that he was not at the scene. In other words, at the legal level, he did not constitute a crime, but in fact, he did not do so. "

"Next, we will appeal to the Supreme Court not to kill Wang Shujin!" Liu said that if he died, he would never find the truth.

Consult and copy files

On October 20 12 10 10/2 1 day, four lawyers came to Hebei high court together and asked to consult and copy the Nie case file. "The Hebei High Court received us, and a female judge of the filing court appeared." The female judge thought that the appeal lawyer of Nie case could not consult and copy Nie Shubin's case file. According to the Supreme People's Court's Reply on Filing Death Penalty Files in 2008. The reply stated that "it is not appropriate to disclose the execution record, draft notice, execution report and execution photos in the death penalty file". The reception lasted over an hour. The two sides hold different opinions on the judicial interpretation or reply of consulting and copying files cited by the state. In the end, the Hebei Higher People's Court did not give a written reply to the four attorneys who agreed to consult and copy Nie's case file on Nie Shubin's appeal.

The tag was rejected.

On the morning of 20124/2004, on 20 165438, the relevant person in charge of the trial supervision court of Hebei Higher People's Court once again declined Nie Shubin's request for access to the file on the grounds that there was no final opinion.

Since Wang Shujin was arrested, four famous lawyers, including Zhang Sizhi, a famous lawyer in China, have acted as the appeal agents of Nie Shubin's family. Four lawyers relay, starting from 2007, according to the law to refer to the trial supervision court of Hebei Higher People's Court Nie Shubin first-instance and second-instance death penalty files. Liu, the current lawyer of Nie case, believes that according to the provisions of China's Constitution and Criminal Procedure Law, the judicial organs should provide Nie Shubin's family members or agents with the opportunity to consult the legal documents that have come into effect.

Liu said: "In the past seven years, the main leaders of the hospital have been transferred many times, but like the first three lawyers in Nie's case, he insisted on asking the Hebei High Court to read the file for 54 times, and the reason for refusing each time was' waiting for the opinions of the leaders' or' no final opinions'".
