National Taiwan University Hospital
Taiwanese judges, on 19 September 2008, denied prosecutors' plea to arrest Wu after she failed to appear in court for the 17th time citing ill health. Her attorney, Lee Sheng-hsiung stated: "According to the National Taiwan University Hospital it could be life- threatening for Wu to attend court. This is a grave situation so my client decided to respect the hospital's advice." Chiu Yi, KMT legislator said "the former family devalued the justice, they were the most shameless because Wu Shu-chen did not appear in the court for State Fund Affairs."
