The country's Criminal Procedure Law Clause 306, which stipulates that lawyers can be jailed for fabricating evidence,cheap polo ralph lauren, was implemented in 1997.
Gong, who was present in court as a witness, said Li had instructed him to falsely claim police torture during interrogation but did not comply because he was "afraid that lying to the court could bring an aggravated sentence", and instead reported his lawyer.
"Local media published elaborate reports detailing police investigation results before the trial began. That put much pressure on local judicial authorities", said Lu Changlin, director of procedural law from the Chongqing-based Southwest Politics and Law University.
"The first trial was preceded with clear, sufficient facts and evidence. I withdraw my reasons for appeal," Li said yesterday morning, 10 minutes after the trial opened in the No 1 Intermediate People's Court.

According to the court that convicted the accused in his first trial,nike football cleats, Li had also directed another lawyer to bribe police and incited Gong's wife and employees to deliver false testimonies.
But Li's lawyer,mercurial vapor, Chen Youxi, continued his defense, saying Li "did not mean what he said" and only made the "ironic" confession because he was deeply disappointed with the judicial system, adding he would continue to fight to prove the tainted lawyer's innocence.

But for several others, Li's case is a warning for other lawyers who may at times cross the line to win a case.
No verdict was announced yesterday. The trial is expected to continue today.
