Might want to think twice before commiting a crime in China.
 

Qin Yanhong, spent 4 days in police custody being tortured before finally confessing to a rape and murder which he did not commit, he gave a false confession to make the torture stop.

On the fourth day, he broke down. "What color were her pants?" they demanded. "Black," he gasped, and felt a whack on the back of his head. "Red," he cried, and got another punch. "Blue," he ventured. The beating stopped.

He was eventually freed 4 years later after evidence proved his innocence, however, it was a freak occurance in the Chinese judicial system, for they rarely lose a case that goes to the courts, regardless of whether or not they truly have the evidence to prove guilt.

Of course I wouldn't use this as a sole reason to avoid commiting a crime, but, reading this sure would be a deterrant otherwise!

jesus. i dont envy those innocent people there. justice really doesn't seem to exist there. the fact that someone just came in and confessed to the crimes really is a miracle, as there was no way he was getting out any other way. and the fact that they haven't fully exonerated him is absolutely awful.

i'm sure it's great to be a prosecutor there though. your record would be like a championship boxer.

Yeah... something like:

58 IKT's (I killed them) and 1 FGA (fucker got away).

Man ... makes you wish that the curtain didn't fall.
