Tao Dongli may or may not know about this case. He knows of it, but also doesn't.
He doesn't know because he wasn't the judge for the second trial, nor was he a member of the collegial panel.
However, for cases of this type, everyone in the court usually hears about them to some extent.
Even without knowing the specifics, one could guess that if you really get serious about such a case, it's hard to claim that the judgment is completely without issues.
But that's not the key issue!
The assistant in front of him asked quizzically: "Master, even if Tang Fangjing comes, at most, it would just result in a changed verdict, right? Why such a big reaction... like you've been sentenced to death?"
He truly didn't understand. Although the rate of retrials resulting in a change of verdict in criminal cases was very low, the sheer number of cases means it wasn't rare for criminal cases to be overturned and end in acquittal.
