Friends driving drunk without a license, the guy became an "accomplice", what happened?

Yangzi Evening News Network October 15 news (correspondent Yin Zhengzong Liu Lulu reporter Liu Liu) In September 2021, Xiao Zhou did not expect that because he allowed his companions to drive drunk, he became an accomplice to the crime of dangerous driving, and he also had to receive the same criminal punishment as his friends.

It all started on the evening of May when four young people who had just finished setting up a stall came to a barbecue restaurant to have a late-night snack together. The four of them chatted while eating, and 18-year-old Xiaohui talked about the recent sadness, and she was depressed, so she asked the clerk to bring some beer. With the strength of the wine, she poured out her pain, and her friends gave advice on the side, and Xiaohui's mood finally improved a lot.

After the supper, Xiao Zhou, who was driving, was responsible for sending everyone home, and when she arrived at the door of Xiao Hui's house, she had no intention of going home, so she wanted Xiao Zhou to take herself around a few more times. In this way, Xiao Zhou drove around the neighborhood for a while. "Give me a moment!" Xiao hui, who was learning to drive recently, suddenly said. "Do you have a driver's license?" Xiao Zhou asked. "Of course there is!" In order to have a good time driving, Xiaohui lied. Xiao Wu, who was sitting in the co-pilot, once again confirmed whether Xiao Hui really had a driver's license, and Xiao Hui still gave a positive answer.

After sitting in the driver's seat, Xiaohui drove to the avenue, unfamiliar with the road conditions, she drove the car to the reverse lane, and was reminded by her companion to make a U-turn, but suddenly hit by a van, and the van driver called the police. After the traffic police arrived at the scene and found Xiaohui drinking, they took Xiaohui to the hospital to draw blood to check the alcohol content. After investigation, the alcohol content in Xiaohui's blood sample was 85.7 mg/100 ml, and she was suspected of dangerous driving, and Xiao Zhou was also listed as a joint criminal suspect by the public security organs. He was blinded for a while, not knowing that he knew that others had drunk alcohol and let him drive, which also constituted a joint crime of dangerous driving, and the latter two were prosecuted by the Liyang Municipal People's Procuratorate for suspected dangerous driving, and finally the Liyang Municipal People's Court sentenced Xiaohui to one month of detention and a fine, sentenced Xiao Zhou to one month of detention, suspended for two months, and fined.

The procurator reminded that article 133-1, paragraph 1(2) of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that whoever drives a motor vehicle drunk on the road shall be sentenced to criminal detention and shall also be fined. According to the theory of joint criminality, a person who knowingly drinks alcohol and gives a motor vehicle to another person for drunken driving shall be punished as an accomplice to the crime of dangerous driving.
