Abstract: In recent years，media intervention in judicial cases，which is represented by media reports on Yao Jiaxin’s intentional homicide case in 2011，has reflected that the media’s exaggerated and even false reports on some law cases has stimulated public sentiment which resulted in an irrational climate of public opinion，and has exerted many adverse effects on the judicial justice. Such reports are actually media trials which is not the purpose of media supervision. In order to form the positive interaction between media supervision and judicial justice，we must strengthen legislation to restrain media trial. We must also improve judicial establishments’ ability to administer judicial justice，media quality，and the quality of the public through a variety of ways at the same time.

Key words: media trial, media supervision, judicial independence, judicial justice, “Yao’s case”
