法院在準備程序中應遵守刑事訴訟法相關規定，並在準備程序結束後儘快進行集中審理。

If a case has been pending in the first instance for more than eight years without a final judgment, the court must reduce the defendant’s sentence unless the case must legally result in an acquittal.

If the second-instance court upholds an acquittal from the first instance, the reasons for appeal are limited to constitutional inconsistency, conflict with Judicial Yuan interpretations, or conflict with precedents.
