The second trial of the shocking Shanghai Policemen-killing Case opened on August 13. The defendant Yang Jia broke his silence. He not only denied the charges against him, but also said that he "had no regrets" about what he had done, "because I think they (the policemen he killed) were not innocent." Yang Jia also claimed that he had been beaten up by policemen several times before the case happened. "I filed complaints step by step but there was no result." The court will announce the verdict of the second trial on another day.
