回复 'voiceofme' 的评论 :你引的是维基百科,是二手资料。你应该看法院裁决原本。
“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.”

法院裁决明明写着由于华裔抗议造成的公众舆论使得罪犯没有得到公正审判。

"上诉法院推翻联邦法院裁决的理由是联邦法院的裁决受到亚裔民众集会抗议的影响所以无效。"是不正确的,联邦法院裁决被推翻的理由是,“federal appeals court found an attorney improperly coached prosecution witnesses.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Vincent_Chin)。
再说,这么一点事就闹得不可开交,到后来要是真有事,你再闹也没有人听了。大家肯定听过狼来了的故事。
