原重庆市委书记受贿、、一案于本周四在山东省济南市中级人民法院公开审理。
微博直播“公开受审”(to stand trial in open court)是公开审判制度(open trial system)的新形式,是近年庭审使用新媒体的标志性事件。公开审理还可以用to be heard in public/open court来表达,如:China allows death penalty cases to be heard in open court beginning 2006(自2006年起,中国允许死刑案件公开审理)。
7月25日,案由山东省济南市人民(Jinan People's Procuratorate)向济南市中级人民法院提起公诉(public prosecution)。起诉书(indictment)指控,被告人依法应当以(taking bribes)、罪(embezzlement)、罪(abuse of power)追究刑事责任(criminal responsibility),并予以数罪并罚(joinder of punishment for plural crimes)。
