The defense lawyer pointed out that Liu Haiyang has always been well-behaved, knowledgeable and hardworking, and has not committed any illegal acts. In the end, the court held that the defendant Liu Haiyang could sincerely repent, and the crime of intentionally destroying property was minor, so he could be exempted from criminal punishment.
Extended data
Liu Haiyang, 22, was originally a mechanical and electrical major in Tsinghua University. According to the prosecution's accusation, in 2002, he fed and dumped the sodium hydroxide solution and sulfuric acid solution prepared in advance into the exhibition area of Woong San Black Bear and Brown Bear in Beijing Zoo twice, which caused three black bears and two brown bears to be damaged to varying degrees and caused certain economic losses to Beijing Zoo.
The public prosecutor believes that Liu Haiyang's behavior has constituted the crime of intentionally destroying property. Defenders believe that Liu's behavior is not clearly defined as a crime in law, and his subjective motivation is to do experiments. He believes that the bear's thick skin and sensitive sense of smell can be avoided, so it belongs to negligence and does not constitute intentional crime.
