Statement from the pro bono defense team
of Su Chien-ho, Liu Bin-lang and Chuang Lin-hsun (the ‘Hsichih Trio’)

We will not give up fighting for Su, Liu and Chuang
Today the Supreme Court repealed the not-guilty judgment handed down last year in the “Hsichih Trio” case and remanded this 20-year-old case for yet another retrial at the High Court. We deeply regret the Court’s decision and are pained to see our clients put through yet another trial.
When the Hsichih Trio case was finally reopened in 2000, the defendants were found not guilty in 2003 and released. But the Supreme Court has continued to order retrials. After remanding the case twice, the latest High Court trial brought the truth to light: One murderer, two victims, and three innocent defendants.
