Soldier executed found innocent

A soldier, Chiang Kuo-chiang was arrested in 1996 due to police found a piece of toilet paper in a crime scene that had traces of his semen and the girl’s blood. He broke down and confessed after coercive interrogations and was sentenced to death after a brief trial process. So he became a man who raping and murdering a young girl.

According to the investigate of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, they didn’t find Chiang’s DNA on the girl’s clothes or the knife used at that time. Even more amazing, Hsu had already confessed to the crime, but the military ignored that as well. The military’s cursory handling of the 1996 case left an innocent man dead and inconsolable grief for many families that could have been prevented.

After waiting 15 years, Chiang family has finally heard the government admit that Chiang was wrongfully executed. However, they want justice to be legally restored. President Ma Ying-jeou apologizes on behalf of the government and willing to do everything that redresses the wrongful execution. We hope nothing like this and our government can assist this family to obtain justice and receive due compensation.
