prison in the second trial on May 29 for his role in the W Hotel party death, asked Taiwan High Court judges for bail during a bail hearing on Tuesday (June 5), claiming he would cooperate with all anti-escape measures and that his heavy build is a disadvantageous condition for escape. However, the judges said they would make a decision after discussion.
Chu and two of his friends were accused of hosting a drug party in a W Hotel room on December 2, 2016, which caused a 21-year-old model surnamed Kuo (郭) to overdose and died on December 7.
The high court upheld a local court’s guilty verdict and sentenced Chu to 10 years in prison. Both Chu’s friends received about the same amount of jail time given to Chu. Two other defendants who supplied the drugs were sentenced to nine years in prison and to six years and six months, respectively. [FULL STORY]
