台北地院於3月19日審理剴剴遭虐死案，場外近千人高喊「唯一死刑」。律師林智群表示，這樣的修法恐怕會適得其反。若法律規定唯一死刑，可能導致加害人不敢送醫，甚至隱匿屍體，反而提高兒童的生命風險。他強調，立法應考慮行為可能的改變，避免讓修法成為加害人逃避責任的動機。該案將於4月21日選任國民法官，5月13日宣判。
Public Demands Death Penalty in Child Abuse Case; Lawyer Warns of Risks

Lin emphasized that legislation should consider potential behavioral changes to prevent laws from becoming an incentive for offenders to evade responsibility. The case will select citizen judges on April 21, with the verdict expected on May 13.
