The verdict’s in, and, justice IS, served, for this heinous crime committed against his next-of-kin! Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
Two years ago, an arson occurred at the temple in Yujing, Tainan, causing seven dead, two injured, the suspect, Tseng was indicted on murder and attempted murder charges by the D.A.’s office, the D.A.’s offices recommended the death penalty; the Tainan District Court believed, that Tseng premeditated the arson, committed the murders, and gloated about what he’d done, sentenced him to die yesterday, and stripped him of his public office post for life.
The charges of obstruction and theft that Tseng had been charged with, should carry out in an eight month and fifteen day sentences, he’d started serving for that since last November. He’d come to court to hear the verdict, he started rioting in court, the bailiffs were forced to use force on him, and injured him, as he was taken to the hospital, the courts sent five other officers to make sure he didn’t escape, as the verdict had been read, he’d, flick out his pinky toward the press, to show that it was, nothing.
When Tseng was staying at the shrines, he had conflicts with the son of the man in charge of the shrines, Chang, and thought of how he was denied residence there, two years ago on December 13th in the late hours of the nights, he took a cab, bought two five kiloliter cans, filled them with gas, the following morning in the midnight hours, he’d, poured the gas on the sidewalk and the entrance of the west side, the, lit up using a lighter, committed arson.
The fire caused seven dead, and of the nine who’d escaped two were injured; Tseng also, burned his calves too, he’d made his way off the scenes, called the police, reported that he’d committed arson, that he’d needed help, the police came, and took him.
During the trials, Tseng admitted to what he’d done, claimed that he wanted to kill Chang’s son for a personal thing, that he’d not cared who he’d killed along the way. The following day as the police took him to the hospital, he’d asked if Jie Cheng murdered five people? “I’d killed seven at a time, that’s a record for Taiwan!”, he gloated how he’d killed more than Jie Cheng.
The Tainan District Court found that Tseng had thought the arson through thoroughly, planned it out, and done the preparations, calculated how to cause the most major damages, that he’d used a measure to commit murder that’s too cruel, he was without ANY humanity, in the trials, he’d shown NO signs of remorse, nor any care or concerns for the consequences for his own actions, after the psych evaluations, the courts can’t eliminate the chance of him committing murders again, that it would be next to impossible to reform him.
As for the considerations of his crimes and what would be fitting as punishment, the courts believed that there would be a need, for him, to get isolated from the rest of the society, and is considering the death penalty, stripping him of his government post.
And so, this man showed, absolutely, NO sense of remorse, NO sense of regret over what he’d done, which suggested, that he can’t EVER be reformed, that’s why the courts sentenced him to die, and it’d, served him right too!
