However, anyone who believes that the courtroom drama in the provincial capital of Jinan will determine the trial’s outcome (the verdict and sentence will be announced in September) is seriously mistaken. The CCP’s leaders have already decided that Bo is guilty and must spend years in jail (the scale of Bo’s alleged bribe-taking ensures a sentence of 15-20 years).
但认为省会济南上演的这场法庭闹剧将决定最终的庭审结果（判决和刑期将在9月宣布）将是大错特错。中共领导人已经确定薄熙来有罪并将服刑（薄所涉嫌的受贿数额将保证他被判处15－20年徒刑）。
