Why was Gavin Gao locked up?

At noon on June 29th, Beijing time, after two bail hearings, the judge finally approved Gavin Gao's bail application. According to media reports, Gavin Gao's bail is 3 million Australian dollars (about14.65 million RMB). In addition, Gavin Gao needs to live in a house rented by Dong Xuan in Australia, report to the police twice a day, and hand over her, her mother and her daughter's passports. She is not close to the airport, does not touch the victims, and needs to wear electronic monitoring equipment. At the same time, the studio also issued a statement at noon on the 29th, denying the rumor that "bullying occurred in Gavin Gao detention center" which had been circulating before, and announced the latest combing of the case by the judge, which mentioned that "the victim Zhang changed his testimony many times, and there were four versions before and after * * *; Moreover, the victim did not want to report the case, and her husband took it to the police station to call the police. "

I interviewed lawyer Shen of Aohua Law Firm at the first time to interpret the details of this case and analyze the problems that will be faced next in this case. Lawyer Shen said that he will leave the Australian prison on another day after the bail of the bail is in place and the legal procedures are completed. However, in addition to reporting to the police twice a day, the rest of the time can only be banned from renting a house in Australia. Once it is beyond the scope of the law, it may be arrested by the police again.

After bail

Gavin Gao needs to report to the police twice a day.

After successful bail in Gavin Gao, can he immediately return to his residence in Australia?

Shen: It depends on the length of time. One of the bondholders provided mortgage, so he had to communicate with the bank first, and then Gavin Gao was released on bail after the money or check came out. The exact time depends entirely on the speed of the bank. Moreover, even the simplest bail, such as the judge's hearing, announced the bail judgment before the lunch break at 1 o, only 20 Australian dollars was paid as bail, but it took about 4 hours from the bondsman holding 20 Australian dollars to the registration office and then waiting for the staff to come out, and then there were many procedures to go before the defendant could go home. Therefore, although Gavin Gao's successful bail will definitely be released, it will take some time.

Can Gavin Gao move freely after being released on bail?

Shen: Gavin Gao can only live in the residence designated by law, and can't go beyond the scope stipulated by law for 24 hours (the distance around the residence is several hundred meters). He can go out except to report to the police station twice a day, that's all. Gavin Gao will wear an electronic ring, about 20,000 Australian dollars each, and wear it on her feet. Once Gavin Gao leaves the designated range of the electronic alarm, he will be arrested. But he can do anything legal at home without any restrictions.

What is the specific procedure for reporting to the police station twice a day?

Shen: There will be a small machine in front of the Australian police station, just like a machine that clocks in at work. The defendant presses it every morning and presses it again in the afternoon.

Release reason

The decisive factor is not "Dong Xuan's family moved to Australia"

Is Dong Xuan's decision to move to Australia with his parents and daughter the decisive factor for Gavin Gao's successful bail application?

Shen: I don't think this is very flattering, because if you put forward something in court that you can't do in practice, it will easily lead to the opposite result. Gavin Gao's lawyer said that Dong Xuan and Gavin Gao's parents and daughters may stay in Australia for the time being. In fact, this possibility is not great, because they are not permanent residents or citizens of Australia, and their parents cannot stay permanently for no reason. Moreover, this judge has rich experience in handling immigration cases before, so I don't think this is handled very well. But in any case, it doesn't matter whether bail is successful or not.

Does Gavin Gao's lawyer's new video evidence provided the day before that "the victim had an intimate relationship with one of the defendants, Wang Jing" help him?

Shen: This evidence has undoubtedly helped. According to the trial on the 29th, we know that the victim provided four versions of testimony before and after, but these four versions of testimony actually conflict. Secondly, the judge watched the video of the hotel and karaoke, and both sides provided the same testimony. In the video, the victim and the defendant at least seem to get along well and have close contact with Wang beyond friends. She actually had a chance to leave. It's not impolite to leave, but she didn't take advantage of these opportunities. Therefore, the judge may decide that the victim did not show any reluctance. Besides, she doesn't want to tell her husband what happened when she came home that day. She just wants to sleep. It was her husband who took her to the police station to report the case. So these videos really helped Gavin Gao to some extent.

Apart from this video evidence, what other factors do you think made the judge decide to grant bail?

Shen: First of all, the judge also made it very clear that the victim actually revised her testimony several times. In this case, this case is not a conclusive case at present. Secondly, Gavin Gao is famous, and running away has a great influence on his reputation, so he can never escape, and there is no need to support him with taxpayers' money.

On the 28th, the bail put forward by the bail guarantor was about A $65,438+04,000. Why did it double to 3 million Australian dollars on the 29th?

Shen: Because the judge mentioned that someone tried to settle out of court, I personally think that the bail may be raised.

On June 28th, 12, Gavin Gao held the second bail appeal hearing. According to the live media, Gavin Gao appeared in court by video in dark green prison uniform. In court, Gavin Gao's lawyer submitted a video material as new evidence. The lawyer said orally that the video was the video of the wedding banquet on March 26th, in which Jing Wong and the victim had many close contacts such as kissing and hugging in KTV. Gavin Gao's wife, Dong Xuan, also took her daughter "Dimple" to the scene, and said through her lawyer that she was willing to move to Australia with her daughter until the end of the trial, hoping that through this move, the court could ease the doubts about Gavin Gao's return to China and win her successful bail.
