[Reporter Li Lifa/Pingtung Report] A farmer surnamed Cai thought that an 80-year-old farmer surnamed Chen was picking up a stone to attack his employer, so he rushed forward and pushed the old farmer down, causing the old farmer to fracture and died of heart and lung failure 8 days later. The suspect of causing death was sent to trial, but Cai Nan argued that it was "justifiable self-defense". After the trial of the Pingtung District Court, the judge believed that Cai Nan was guilty of negligent injury and sentenced him to 6 months in prison.

When Cai Nan was hired to work in the mango orchard on May 22 last year, because the old farmer surnamed Chen in the orchard next door thought that Cai Nan’s employer’s family’s motorcycle was in the way and asked to move the car but failed, he angrily scolded and picked up stones on the ground. Cai Nan thought that Chen Weng wanted to attack his employer, so he rushed forward and pushed Weng Chen. Weng Chen lost his center of gravity and fell, resulting in intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures of the left proximal femur.

After Chen Weng was sent to the hospital, he was discharged on the 25th. On the 27th, he developed a fever and was admitted to the hospital again. On the 30th, he died of heart and lung failure. Just pushed the old man.

After the trial of the Pingtung District Court, the judge believed that Cai Nan’s behavior did not meet the requirements for self-defense, and was a negligent act that should be paid attention to and could not be paid attention to. After reviewing the old man’s medical records, he believed that the old man had multiple diseases. If his lung lesions were properly treated , can avoid the risk of death, but the old man asked to be discharged from the hospital, which resulted in the failure to receive timely treatment and increased the risk of death. There is no considerable causal relationship between Cai Nan’s injury behavior and the old man’s death. He was sentenced to 6 months in prison and fined by Yi Ke for the crime of negligent injury.
