Follow us on TWITTER:   / cnforbiddennews   Like us on FACEBOOK:   / chinaforbiddennews   The case of the Gu Kailai murder, which affected Chinese Communist politics, which was scheduled for trial on August 9 at Hefei Intermediate People's Court, has concluded. Gu plead guilty in court and the court declared that they will pronounce a judgment on a future date. The mouthpiece of the party, Xinhua news agency, then declared that Gu is the principle offender and Zhang Xiaojun is an accessory criminal. However, at the press conference after the trial, Hefei Intermediate Vice-President and spokesman Tang Yigan, said in his announcement that during the trial, the defense counsel of Gu and Zhang stated that Gu's ability to control her behavior was weaker than normal at the time of the crime, plus she has rendered meritorious service in informing against others. The rhetoric, which is a subtle difference from notice of the Xinhua News Agency, caused widespread concern. Beijing lawyer Liu Xiaoyuan believes that although the case has not yet been ruled, the courts informing the media of the story in favor of the defendant is particularly rare. 《神韵》2011世界巡演新亮点 http://www.ShenYunPerformingArts.org/
