It said they will get three months of training and be on probation for a year before receiving a final appointment.

Last year, a woman believed murdered in the 1980s in the central province of Hunan reappeared, 16 years after the man convicted of killing her was executed. At the time of the execution, the court reportedly said the defendant confessed. Chinese police often are accused of tor turing suspects into making confessions. The case is one of a number of high-profile cases that state media has publicized in recent years highlighting the flaws of an aggressive policy of judicial executions. Death penalty lawyers and legal scholars in China have also begun dis cussing more openly the need for China to establish clearer procedures for the death penal ty. There has not been any debate, however, about abolish ing capital punishment. T.
