Criminals in poisoning cases are usually sentenced to heavier crimes. Do you know why?

There used to be the crime of poisoning, but in the latest criminal law, the crime of poisoning has been replaced by the crime of endangering public safety by dangerous methods.

Criminals who commit poisoning cases are generally sentenced to heavier crimes.

Article 114 of the Criminal Law: Whoever sets fire to factories, mines, oil fields, ports, rivers, water sources, warehouses, houses, forests, farms, barns, pastures, important pipelines, public buildings or other public or private property by cutting off water, exploding, poisoning or other dangerous methods, thus endangering public safety, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years. Article 115 Whoever, in the first paragraph, sets fire, breaks water, explodes or poisons people seriously, or causes heavy losses to public or private property shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years, life imprisonment or death.

In other words, this crime will be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years. Those who cause serious injury or death or serious loss of public property will not be capped and may eventually be sentenced to death. This kind of crime is very serious, mainly because the object of its infringement is unspecified people, which is likely to cause many deaths and injuries or huge economic losses, that is to say, the consequences are extremely serious. In addition, some poisoning cases were convicted and sentenced for intentional homicide, and were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of 10 years or more, life imprisonment or death penalty.
