the Chinese teenager convicted of murdering Canadian model Diana O'Brien in 2008 was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve. Chen Jun, 18, said during his trial that he suffered remorse and anonymously called the police right after he stabbed O'Brien, hoping they would rescue her. That may have earned him leniency from the court. Lawyer Zheng asked that Chen be given a psychological examination, but the request was denied. Chen Jun was an out-of-work migrant worker from Anhui province looking for money when O'Brien caught him in her apartment on July 6. He allegedly stabbed her repeatedly and left her to die.
