Chinese Americans were stabbed to death in Internet cafes, and their families were dissatisfied with the defendant's acquittal. What happened?

According to the US "World Journal" report, Paul Kim, a 565,438+0-year-old Korean suspected of stabbing China youth Fan Yangpu in an Internet cafe in Flushing, new york, USA, was acquitted after being ruled by a grand jury not to prosecute last week. Fan Yangpu's family belongs to local time 17. Lawyer Sun Lantao said that the judgment was unfair and the result was unacceptable. Kim Paul's lawyer responded that if the family stood in Kim's position, they would not be surprised by the verdict.

Fan Yangpu's family said in a statement on June 5438+07, "Jin Paul was acquitted, which undoubtedly added a handful of salt to the great trauma of losing our beloved son and breaking our family in just half a month. We are surprised by the decision of the grand jury and don't believe this is a fact. "

Sun Lantao said, "The family members do not deny the tort mistakes made by several children before and after the quarrel, but think that their mistakes should never lead to the loss of Fan Yangpu's young life. The family members saw in the video that when the two sides initially clashed, Jin Paul had a helper, not three children who attacked Jin Paul, nor a few people around Jin Paul; In the second conflict, Jin Paul was not cornered, he was not forced to a dead corner, and the two children did not threaten to kill him with their bare hands. "

Sun Lantao pointed out that from the perspective of criminal law, Jin Paul has the right to self-defense, but the force used in self-defense should not exceed the power, which means that the other party threatened him. "Our understanding of this case is that Jin Paul used a sword to cause death, which belongs to excessive use of force in self-defense. There is no felony, there must be a misdemeanor. What is even more unacceptable is that Jin Paul turned the knife after stabbing Fan Yangpu's body, which caused the liver and kidney to be completely damaged and irreparable. This is a cruel abuse in law. These factors have not been considered by the court, and this case is a misjudgment, which is unfair to law and reason. Self-defense can be done, but it is absolutely impossible to use excessive force to cause death, otherwise it will violate the law. " Fan Jia has the right to seek legal channels to appeal.

Jin Paul's lawyer Finchelman said in 17 that when the two sides first clashed, an Internet cafe customer did come forward to help Jin Paul. Several young people left and went back to the Internet cafe to besiege the defendant again. Jim Paul was pushed to the table with a tool knife and picked up the knife.

"If Fan's family can put themselves in their shoes and imagine that they are in a critical juncture where several young people are constantly punching and kicking, what will they do to protect themselves? Jin Paul's practice at that time was self-defense. " Finn Celmen said that he had never heard of Kimball's rotary knife, which was always emphasized by the Fan family.

Finn Celmen pointed out that Fan's family has the right to appeal, "but I don't think the court will accept their appeal after the grand jury makes a verdict". He also mentioned that Jin Paul had been discharged from the hospital and was interviewed by Korean media on June 5438+07, hoping to find a job as soon as possible.
