Prosecutors Seek Severe Punishment as Bo Xilai’s Trial Ends

Ousted Politburo member Bo Xilai deserves severe punishment because he refused to admit guilt on bribery, embezzlement and abuse of power charges, Chinese prosecutors said as his trial ended today.
Bo insisted during his five-day trial that while he made mistakes in his career, he didn’t commit any crimes. He sought to discredit those who testified against him, calling his wife crazy, comparing a former businessman in Dalian to a wild biting dog and saying his former police chief in the city of Chongqing had lied.
