“We cannot permit the judgment to stand because Ebens was denied a fair trial.
Ebens was originally prosecuted in the Wayne County, Michigan, Circuit Court and prior to trial pleaded guilty to the crime of manslaughter. When he was placed upon probation and fined $3,720, public outrage at the perceived lenity of the penalty was extensive, especially within the Chinese-American community. The case was accompanied by massive publicity at both the state and national levels and undoubtedly because of activity on behalf of the Chinese-American community, the United States Department of Justice, overruling the decision of the local United States Attorney not to prosecute, instituted proceedings under the Civil Rights Act in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.”

法院裁決明明寫著由於華裔抗議造成的公眾輿論使得罪犯沒有得到公正審判。

"上訴法院推翻聯邦法院裁決的理由是聯邦法院的裁決受到亞裔民眾集會抗議的影響所以無效。"是不正確的,聯邦法院裁決被推翻的理由是,“federal appeals court found an attorney improperly coached prosecution witnesses.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Vincent_Chin)。
再說,這麽一點事就鬧得不可開交,到後來要是真有事,你再鬧也沒有人聽了。大家肯定聽過狼來了的故事。
