How Do You Say "My Bad" In Chinese?

Just when you thought those Chinese executioner's vans (death in 30 minutes or your next is free!) couldn't be beat, consider the strange tale of Mr. She (yeah, it's a bit confusing). She was charged and convicted of killing his wife 1994. Authorities never ID'd the victim's body, but She was convicted on the basis of a confession that was tortured out of him. Now, 15 years later, after She had served all of his sentence (death commuted to 15 years), his wife turns up. Seems that she ran off with another man 15 years ago and never told anyone, must less the cops who were beating a confession out of her husband.

Whoops.
