In court, those people admitted to all the crimes charged by the prosecutor, without any of them raising objections. They offended the Kang family and wanted to hire a lawyer, but couldn't find one. Besides, only a fool would take on a lawsuit that is destined to lose.
Not to mention who they have offended; just based on the crimes they've committed, there's no room for reversal. These cases were already conclusively decided, really going to court was merely to try to reduce a few years, which is meaningless.
Therefore, their lawyer was appointed by the court according to regulations. Although the lawyer did their best to help them within their responsibilities, the verdicts were as they are.
Person in charge, Zhao, involved in drug possession, drug use, defamation, etc., was sentenced to 23 years in prison.
The murderer was directly sentenced to death, with execution deferred for one year.
