Firstly, according to the stipulation of line 232 of the criminal law of the People's Republic of China, the defendant, Chen Yao committed homicide. The evidence is irrefutable. However, taking into consideration the victim's implementation of long-term abuse as well as his extreme actions on the day of the case, the defendant, Chen Yao's, action was 'self defense to the extreme degree'. The court will then, according to the law, implement a more lenient punishment. The sentence is a minimum of 10 years in prison, 2 years probation and the removal of all political rights for 3 years.
