Lin Liu Lung-tzu

Lin Liu Lung-tzu, an elderly woman in her 80s, gained national attention after being convicted for the tragic killing of her severely disabled son, a crime she committed under extreme emotional and physical distress exacerbated by her own declining health due to COVID-19. In a notable decision, President William Lai granted her a special pardon, acknowledging the extraordinary circumstances surrounding her case, which had garnered widespread public sympathy and support for leniency.
