HEFEI, China, Aug 9 (Reuters) - The woman at the centre of China's most politically explosive trial in three decades did not contest charges of murder on Thursday in a hearing that lasted just seven hours and could determine the fate of former Politburo member Bo Xilai.

A formal verdict will be delivered at a later date, a court official said, recounting details of the closed-door hearing.

My Comment: In China .... this is a sensational trial and one that will reverberate for years. As for what is my prediction on the fate of Bo Xilai and his wife .... it would not surprise me if his wife goes to jail for a long time, and he will be disgraced and banned from any political activity.
