This punishment is basically fair. Sentenced to death, but not actually dead.In any case, the best outcome for this criminal is to spend no less than 25 years in prison.
There are two kinds of death penalty in China, one is the immediate execution of death penalty, the other is the two-year suspension of death penalty.
The former needs to be submitted to the Supreme Court for examination and approval before execution.Local courts have only judicial power, and the examination of the execution of the death penalty is in the hands of the Supreme Court, which generally does not sentence the immediate death penalty and is more cautious.It's usually a serial killer, or a particularly heinous crime, etc.
The latter has a two-year suspension of death penalty, that is, after two years of imprisonment, there is no mistake, life imprisonment, if good performance in prison can be commuted, but the minimum imprisonment time can not be less than 25 years.This case is punished as this.
