The Hangzhou Intermediate People's Court found in the first instance that Li Lijuan was an employee of the packaging warehouse of Hangzhou Youcheng Machinery Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Youcheng Company). 20 12 12, Li Lijuan was very angry with the monitor of the warehouse and others because of the adjustment of her job, so she decided to set fire to revenge. 20 1 365438+1October1At 2 o'clock in the morning, Li Lijuan came to Youcheng Company wearing a men's cotton-padded coat and holding a lighter bought in advance. In order to avoid the monitoring of the company's gate, Li Lijuan entered from the southwest side of the company, entered the packaging warehouse on the second floor of No.2 factory building through the staircase door on the west side, and then lit the cartons stacked on the east side of the warehouse with a lighter. After confirming the ignition, she quickly fled.

After the fire broke out, the employees in the workshop next to the packaging warehouse first found it and immediately called the police. However, due to the large amount of flammable materials stored in the workshop, the fire spread rapidly, and the direct economic loss of Zhiyoucheng Company reached more than 60 million yuan. In the fire fighting, three fire officers and soldiers died and several other fire fighters were injured to varying degrees. 2013165438+16 October, Hangzhou Intermediate People's Court sentenced him to death for arson and deprived him of his political rights for life. Li Lijuan refused to accept and appealed to the Higher People's Court of Zhejiang Province.

The Higher People's Court of Zhejiang Province formed a collegial panel in accordance with the law and heard the case in public on February 27th, 20th14th. The second instance found that the facts were clear and the evidence was indeed sufficient. The Higher People's Court of Zhejiang Province entrusted the Hangzhou Intermediate People's Court to make a public verdict in the second instance of Li Lijuan's arson case, dismissed Li Lijuan's appeal, upheld the death sentence of the Hangzhou Intermediate People's Court, and submitted it to the Supreme People's Court for approval according to law.

The second trial held that Li Lijuan knew that there were a large number of flammable items in the warehouse, which endangered public safety. In order to vent her personal anger, she deliberately set fire to the property, causing direct economic losses of more than 60 million yuan to the company. At the same time, three fire officers and soldiers were killed and three fire fighters were injured. Her behavior has constituted arson. The consequences of crime are extremely serious, which is extremely harmful to society and should be severely punished according to law. Although Li Lijuan can truthfully confess her crimes after returning to justice, it is not enough to give her a lighter punishment. Li Lijuan and her defenders in the second instance suggested that the original judgment was too heavy and the reason for demanding a lighter punishment could not be established and was not adopted. The original judgment, conviction and applicable law were correct and the sentence was appropriate, so the above ruling was made according to law.
