Chinese people play cards on the pavement near the Chengdu Intermediate People's Court, where Wang Lijun will be tried on Tuesday, in Chengdu in southwest China's Sichuan province Monday, Sept. 17, 2012. At the height of his career, Wang led a police crackdown on the violent underworld in a sprawling metropolis, arresting hundreds of gangsters and government officials, some of whom were sentenced and executed in a matter of months. Now the former police chief is in the hands of the opaque Chinese justice he once brandished against others. (AP Photo/Andy Wong)
