Zhao Jingwei was sentenced sooner than everyone expected.
It took only one week from the investigation to the final sentencing. The official sentence was sent to Mother Zhao's hospital ward within the week.
Zhao Jingwei was charged with causing danger to the public and attempted murder. As she had only just reached 18 years of age and did not actually cause any harm, the court sentenced her to 10 years of imprisonment.
The sentence seemed reasonable, neither too light nor too heavy. But anyone who knew the law would understand that it was actually more than likely for the sentence to be reduced to a three- or five-year imprisonment in cases such as this where the defendant was willing to admit to it. But the 10-year sentence that was finalized really came as a slap to the netizens who tried to sway the court with their online debates.
Apparently, Tang Wei had been sent to the hospital the moment the sentence was passed. She had passed out from the stress.
Another hot topic was also from First High School, but it had nothing to do with this malicious case.
Instead, it was about Qiao Chen receiving a prestigious award in the piano arena—a second-place prize!
It was said that the judges had even gotten into a major conflict over the ranking of the top two awardees. The piano teachers had split into two factions—one felt that Qiao Chen's piece was evidently better, while the other felt like the eventual first place winner's piece sounded better for a performance.
After an intense debate, Qiao Chen ended up in second place.
Because of the hoo-ha that happened over this, the value of her second place was inflated too. She became somewhat famous in the arena.
