According to media sources, Zhang Bo and Ye Chengchen, two suspects in the Chongqing toddler falling from a building that have attracted much public attention, have submitted materials to appeal within the statutory appeal period.
As soon as the news came out, public opinion on the Internet was uproar again, naturally it was one-sided, after all, two young lives were thrown out of the window by their own blood relatives, and the two children were killed, and the murderer was heinous.
None of us can accept the chance of a demon as poisonous as a snake and scorpion to survive on earth. Therefore, the netizens' psychology of resisting Zhang Bo and Ye Chengchen's appeal is understandable!
According to media online reports, Ye Chengchen recently appointed a lawyer, but the lawyer told the media reporter that it is inconvenient to disclose the relevant information of the appeal.
Seeing this news, I noticed that many netizens expressed special anger, and there were even lawyers who defended such a poisonous snake and scorpion person, and regarded the lives of two children as life?
It is reported that Ye Chengchen's latest entrustment of a well-known local criminal defense lawyer representing the defense lawyer, but the other party said that because the sensitivity of the case was too high, it was inconvenient to disclose relevant information.
However, whether Zhang Bofang has entrusted a new defense lawyer has not been disclosed for the time being. At the first trial, he had confessed to the killing of two children. Therefore, Zhang Bo did not appoint a defense lawyer himself at the first instance, and it was a legal aid lawyer who appeared in court to defend him.

First instance review
On December 28, 2021, the Fifth Intermediate People's Court of Chongqing Municipality sentenced Zhang Bo and Ye Chengchen to death for intentional homicide and deprived them of their political rights for life. After the verdict was pronounced, the presiding judge asked Zhang Bo and Ye Chengchen whether they had appealed, and Zhang Bo said at the time to "consider it", while Ye Chengchen remained silent.
The judgment shows that if the defendant is dissatisfied with this judgment after the death sentence is pronounced, he may appeal to the original trial court or directly to the Chongqing Higher People's Court within 10 days from the second day of receiving the judgment.
It is reported that on January 10, a media reporter learned from the first-instance judge of the Fifth Intermediate People's Court of Chongqing Municipality that the statutory appeal period for the case has ended, and the original trial court has not yet received the appeals of the defendants Zhang Bo and Ye Chengchen, but it is not excluded that the two defendants submitted the appeal materials by mail, and if the two defendants mailed out the appeals during the statutory appeal period, they are still valid. At the same time, it is not excluded that Zhang Bo and Ye Chengchen directly submitted materials to the Chongqing Municipal Supreme People's Court to file an appeal.

Why did Zhang Bo and Ye Chengchen appeal, and would they file a case on appeal?
Many netizens said that they couldn't think straight, and they couldn't understand that the sins were as deep as theirs, so why should they choose to appeal?
In fact, after reading the chat records of Zhang Bo and Ye Chengchen conspiring to kill two lovely children, their thoughts and behaviors are incomprehensible to ordinary people.
They have the right to appeal, which is the legal process.
Some media reporters consulted Professor Wang Enhai of the Criminal Law School of East China University of Political Science and Law and lawyer Wang Shaoguang of Beijing Dingjian Law Firm and learned that the appeal of the defendants Zhang Bo and Ye Chengchen meant that the case of the two children falling from the building had entered the second-instance trial procedure, and the Chongqing Supreme People's Court would file the case according to law.
At the same time, in accordance with Article 234 of the Criminal Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China, in an appeal case where the defendant is sentenced to death, the second-instance people's court shall form a collegial panel and hold a hearing.

Good and evil will be rewarded in the end!
Some netizens expressed concern about whether Zhang Bo and Ye Chengchen, the two demons, would get the opportunity to change their sentences.
We are all equally distressed about the two poor children, and it is understandable that netizens have this concern! But in fact, I don't think you need to worry too much for the time being. Suspects Zhang Bo and Ye Chengchen appealed, and even if the court filed a case for trial according to law, it did not represent the result, and the probability of upholding the original judgment was even greater.
Always believe that the law is fair and just.
The conspiracy to murder two young and living beings, their motives were despicable, their methods were cruel, they completely broke through the bottom line of human nature, the sins were deep, the social impact was deep, and the capital crimes could not be escaped.
04
Knowing the depth of their sins, why do they still have the face to appeal?
I think that the main thing is that the woman's family has money, and because of the rich, she ignores and tramples on the lives of others. Previously, Ye Chengchen's parents had proposed to spend 300,000 yuan to buy Ye Chengchen's life, but the child's mother resolutely refused. Appeal is nothing more than trying to delay time as much as possible, dying and struggling, and being able to live one more day is a trick that the wicked have always done.
Moreover, Ye Chengchen's family probably believes that Ye Chengchen did not start to kill the child, it was Zhang Waver's hand, the woman's sin did not lead to death, and wanted to grasp the straw of "not participating in throwing the child downstairs" as a life-saving straw.
But they may not know that Zhang Bo and Ye Chengchen jointly premeditated the killing, committing the crime of intentional killing. Moreover, judging from the chat records of the two demons, Ye Chengchen was not only the mastermind, but also the perverted psychology and behavior of the step-by-step force, which was not only unforgivable, but also deserved to be added to the first degree.
Zhang Bo's sins are mostly in disregard of family affection and the law for selfish desires, and he does not hesitate to kill his own flesh and blood with his own hands, completely breaking through the bottom line of human morality and morality.
The motives of the two defendants can no longer be described as despicable, they were particularly despicable, and for their own selfish purposes, they brutally killed two young children, as poisonous as snakes and scorpions, and were simply the embodiment of demons.
05
I wanted to live, but I wanted the lives of two children!
As the saying goes: if you knew this, why did you do it in the first place?
Scared of the death penalty and want to live? During the past 5 months of conspiracy to kill two children, even if they had the slightest idea of kindness, sparing two young children, the two children would not die young, and the two demons would naturally be able to live.
However, they do not have the slightest conscience and remorse, and not only that, but they constantly urge the process of committing the crime. It's so vicious and unimaginable.
So, neither is worth forgiving. Demons don't die, and heaven is intolerable.
