Court commutes death sentence for Wu Ying
An ex-tycoon, convicted of illegal fundraising, had her death sentence commuted by the High People's Court in East China's Zhejiang province on Monday.
The court passed a death sentence, with a two-year reprieve. This usually translates into life in prison and is often reduced further for good behavior.
