Photo taken on Dec. 2, 2016 shows the scene of the trial. A man convicted for rape and murder in China had his conviction overturned by China's top court on Friday, 21 years after he was executed. The second circuit court under the Supreme People's Court revoked the verdict, ruling that the previous conviction was based on insufficient evidence and unclear facts. Nie Shubin was convicted in 1995 of raping and murdering a woman on the outskirts of Hebei provincial capital, Shijiazhuang, and executed the same year at the age of 21. (Xinhua)
