During his military service, legislator Chiu Hsien-chih befriended Wang Jui-feng, later helping him apply for constitutional interpretation. Wang's lack of education and financial constraints prevented him from hiring competent lawyers, a common issue for many victims of wrongful convictions. Wang's case involved a robbery where a witness recanted her testimony, leading to a retrial. After over a decade of hopelessness, Wang's case was finally reopened thanks to lawyer Chiu, allowing for a fresh trial. The complexity of the legal system and the difficulties faced by those wrongfully imprisoned are highlighted, pointing out the importance of legal knowledge and access to justice for all in society.
