(Central News Agency reporter Zhao Li-yan, Taichung, 4th) Taichung District Prosecutor Chang Kai-chieh, for his work in the "Shengang Barrel Corpse Case," which involved implementing flexible justice and overcoming evidentiary challenges in connecting investigation and prosecution, handling courtroom debates in public judge cases, and protecting victims, has been awarded the "Judicial Insight Award" by the Ministry of Justice.
The Ministry of Justice's 11th "Judicial Insight Award" ceremony for the year 2026 (Republic of China Year 115) was held recently, witnessed by Minister of Justice Zheng Ming-qian and heads of various prosecutorial agencies, to recognize the outstanding contributions of frontline prosecutors in meticulously unraveling cases, discerning the truth, and realizing judicial justice.
Taichung District Prosecutors Office today issued a press release stating that Prosecutor Chang Kai-chieh, while handling the "Shengang Barrel Corpse Case," adopted a strategy of "substantive investigative-prosecutorial connection." From the outset of the case, he worked closely with the investigative prosecutor, jointly inspecting the scene to ensure that the direction of investigation and evidence collection aligned with the needs of future courtroom defense and prosecution.
During the trial, Chang Kai-chieh presented flat evidence through clear, easy-to-understand, and vivid presentations. Through plain language explanations, graphical organization, and layered argumentation, he connected originally fragmented and dispersed indirect evidence into a rigorous chain of evidence, successfully reconstructing the criminal context.
In handling the case, he practiced a victim-centered judicial philosophy, emphasizing the victim's family's right to participate in litigation and their right to know about the proceedings. This allowed the families to understand the case's progress, courtroom battles, and the meaning of legal procedures, balancing the rigor of criminal prosecution with the judiciary's responsiveness to public sentiment, thereby implementing warm and perceptible flexible justice.
Chang Kai-chieh stated that while a guilty verdict is the outcome of a case, it is more important to prove through individual cases that even under extreme evidentiary difficulties, as long as one adheres to evidential logic, experiential rules, and procedural justice, public judges can still understand the context of the truth, thereby enhancing public recognition and trust in criminal justice. He attributed the honor to the Taichung District Prosecutors Office's case handling team. (Edited by Zhang Ming-kun) 1150504
