Evidence notes
The reported term-end date is not treated as proof of release. Court-venue wording differed in pretrial versus judgment-based reporting; the judgment-citing report identifies the Yingzhou District People’s Court. Ma Tao is an alias for this same case and must not become a separate profile.
