At 9:30 a.m. on October 13, 2008, the Shanghai High People's Court opened the second-instance trial of the Yang Jia case in a closed hearing. The defense lawyer requested a new psychiatric evaluation, but the court rejected it on the spot, ruling that the grounds were insufficient. During the hearing, the prosecution and the defense debated the appearance of witnesses, the qualifications of the appraisal institution, and whether Yang Jia had been beaten at the police station.
