有几家媒体从不同角度报道了此事,我给个简单的摘要吧: 去年夏天的一个晚上,六个十几岁的男孩喝完酒去party的路上,看见墨西哥人Luis Ramirez和他未婚妻的妹妹在路边聊天。那个叫Brian Skully的男孩(17岁)冲女子高喊 “Isn't it a little late for you to be out?”,女子没有搭理,Skully接着喊 "This is Shenandoah, this is America, go back to Mexico," 接下来是一句Racial Slur. Ramirez回话“what's your problem?” 六个Teenager一拥而上,开始殴打Ramirez,并重击他的头部和面部。Ramirez寡不敌众,倒地并失去知觉。两天后,Ramirez在医院抢救无效死亡。 今年五月初的审判中,12名白人组成的陪审团有11人确认故意伤害罪和三级谋杀不成立,只有陪审员组长Eric Maclin持相反意见。最后两名被告(给死者致命打击的Brandon Piekarsky and Derrick Donchak)只有simple assault罪名成立,这个罪最多只能判两年,而且可以保释。 Eric Maclin对记者表示,他认为两名被起诉的少年也犯了那些重罪。他还说在陪审室里种族气氛很紧张。
