I claim to be on ‘workcation’ – on holiday abroad while working. Here’s one result. My oped on the lawyer who defends China’s supposed most notorious female serial killer Lao Rongzhi, a case that has fascinated China. Back in the 90s, Lao worked at a seedy bar where she lured rich men to her rented flat. Her lover would then appear and demand ransom. The point is that she deserves a fair trial. And it is a big question if her death penalty is justified.

Great work! Do you know how they caught Lao Rongzhi after so long? Also I’m curious, is there a statute of limitations in China?
