Beijing baby killer stands second trial

Han Lei (R), who lodged an appeal after receiving death penalty, is on trial at the Beijing High People's Court in Beijing, capital of China, Nov. 19, 2013. Han Lei, 39, grabbed a girl from her pram and hurled her to the ground in Daxing District of Beijing on July 23 after an argument with her mother over a parking space. The girl was severely injured and died days later despite treatment. Han was sentenced to death by Beijing No.1 Intermediate People's Court on September 25, on charges of intentional homicide. Han appealed to have his crime reduced to involuntary homicide on the grounds that he didn't know it was a baby carriage or that he was hurling a baby. [Gong Lei/Xinhua]
