Debunking the Myth: Did KMT Legislators Support Commuting Death Sentences to Life Imprisonment?
This article aims to debunk a political rumor circulating on the internet. The rumor used a chart to falsely accuse KMT legislators of supporting the commutation of death sentences to life imprisonment. The author clarifies that the chart actually refers to the 'Criminal Commutation Act,' which pertains to discretionary standards for offenders who meet the commutation threshold while serving their sentences—having nothing to do with abolishing or retaining capital punishment or court sentencing decisions. The author criticizes certain online armies for whitewashing specific parties (the DPP and Taiwan's People First Party) by deliberately distorting facts.
