    Though Gu faces the death penalty, legal experts say she will likely receive a commuted death sentence that translates into 10 to 15 years in prison,

    This is basically a face-saving measure and she will be expected to do the right thing and hang herself in her cell, the way Jiang Qing (Chairman Mao's wife and leader of the "Gang of Four") did previously.

    the trial is an attempt to draw a line under a scandal

    Exactly. If people knew just how corrupt the Chinese leadership and their families are then the political unrest would be insurmountable. This is why Bloomberg has been censored by China - it has pointed out how the leadership's families have become rich. Best to throw a few people under the bus and hope that they can get back to the party congress without anybody else noticing how rotten the system has become.
