criminal procedure

Chinese court sentenced a man to death for sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl. The man was convicted of luring a 10-year-old girl into a corn field and sexually assaulting her twice. The girl required surgery for injuries sustained in the assault. The man had a one-day closed door trial and was sentenced 20 days later. The report called the man a repeat offender and said he had imprisoned four times between 1979 and 1999 but it did not specify what the earlier convictions were for.
China, believed to carry out more court-ordered executions than all other nations combined, enacted legislation late last year that requires approval from the Supreme People's Court — the country's highest — before putting anyone to death. This article interests me because my minor is Justice Administration. I am interested in the criminal procedure of China. I am going to continue to do some research on this subject. Any feedback anyone finds interesting would be appreciated.
