The son of former Supreme Court judge Xiao Yanggui, Xiao Xianlun, was involved in a hit-and-run case 16 years ago and received probation in the Keelung District Court. Xiao Yanggui was suspected of influencing the trial in the appeal court, leading to his friend, former high court judge Ko Ming-che, announcing Xiao Xianlun's innocence. Ko was later acquitted of the charge of miscarriage of justice by both the first and second trials, with the Supreme Court rejecting the appeal and finalizing Ko's innocence. The case involved elaborate details of Ko attempting to influence other judges and ultimately reversing the judgment in favor of Xiao Xianlun, who was finally sentenced to 6 months in prison and 2 years of probation. Despite the prosecutor's discovery of wrongdoing, Ko's actions were deemed lacking criminal intent, resulting in his acquittal even after appealing to the Supreme Court.
