Murder retrial may overturn convictions

Four men who claim they were wrongfully jailed for murder had their case retried at the Jiangxi Higher People's Court.

Zhang Weiyu, the lawyer representing Fang Chunping, who has been serving his sentence since 2006, said he is optimistic about the previous ruling being overturned.

"There is insufficient evidence for the original verdict regarding the four men. In addition, a man suspected of being the real murderer has been caught," Zhang told China Daily.
