Follow-up to ASU student's light rail attack: Translation of the full text of the municipal lawyer's letter The latest developments in the case of ASU student Shi Xiaolin, the full text of the municipal lawyer's letter is as follows: Dear LeFave Director, We only submit this letter to you on behalf of the local Chinese and Asian communities in Arizona and the Chinese and Asian student associations at Arizona State University to explain this case of unprovoked violent attacks with obvious racial hatred motives. On May 20, 2016, the two victims in this case, Ms. Shi Xiaolin and Mr. He Jiahong, took the Valley Metro light rail home after watching the Phoenix Mercury women's basketball game. Because he was talking in Mandarin on the light rail, the defendant cursed aggressively and racially: ?#23114; (子), go back to (fucking) China! ?#31867;The racist remarks continued for about 20 minutes. When the two victims were about to get out of the car, the defendant struck Ms. Shi Xiaolin in the face and knocked her to the ground. According to the recollection of Ms. Shi Xiaolin afterwards: I lost consciousness for a time. When I regained consciousness, I found myself lying on the ground with blood all over my face. Another victim in this case, Mr. He Jiahong, was also verbally attacked and physically attacked in this incident. Fortunately, his injuries were not serious. However, in addition to the facial nasal bone being injured, Ms. Shi Xiaolin also suffered other injuries. The swelling from these injuries not only affects his vision, but may also require surgery. To this day, Ms. Shi Xiaolin still has a 4mm blur in her eyes and her fractures have not healed, which also makes her suffer from dizziness and nausea caused by sustained concussions. Dear judge, you should remember that four months ago, 19-year-old Jiang Yue, also a Chinese student from ASU, was shot to death in a road accident. The victims in all of these incidents were current students at Arizona State University, two of whom were also Ph.D. The Chinese/Asian community in the Phoenix metropolitan area, as well as many current ASU students and alumni, are justifiably shocked and alarmed by these two crimes that occurred at approximately the same time. We firmly believe that any crimes related to racial discrimination and racial bias should be fully prosecuted and severely punished within the framework of the law. We disagree with the municipal attorney's plea agreement that reduces a third- or fourth-degree felony to a sixth-degree misdemeanor. We also disagree with the city attorney's decision to make the situation worse by mitigating the sentence. We ask the judge to consider dismissing the existing plea agreement and conducting a review to maximize the execution of a criminal sentence, rather than insisting on a presumptive or minimum sentence level. All the facts of this case, the state court's recommended sentence, and the victim's statements indicate that a bias crime motivated by racial hatred should warrant the court's consideration of a more stringent penalty for the alleged defendant. If the defendant is indeed suffering from some mental illness, we hope that she can receive timely treatment. However, this does not lessen the impact of her criminal conduct. Her criminal conduct does not mitigate the harm done to the victim's body and mind. Her hateful behavior cannot lessen the harm done to local Chinese and Asian communities in Arizona. Due to the recent series of hateful acts and violent incidents, the Chinese community in Arizona, especially Chinese students studying at ASU, now feel fear when going out. The violence has become an example of international news about how unkind Arizona is toward Chinese and Asian Americans. Dear Judge, you now have the opportunity to use your limited court rights to demonstrate that such violence will not be tolerated in Arizona. Since Ms. Shi Xiaolin has just started her studies at ASU and she only has limited medical insurance, we also ask the judge to adopt a completely open-liability restitution strategy for Ms. Shi Xiaolin in the compensation judgment in this case. We hope that the judge will consider our request carefully, and we hope to see justice served in Arizona. Sincerely, Arizona Asian Community President – ​​or Individual
