Racist, Degrading Emails Leads To Asian American Woman's Exoneration

Description

Asian American woman Francis Choy spent 17 years in prison for killing her parents in a Massachusetts house fire in 2003. Now, Choy is going free. According to Newser, it's partly because of racist emails about her sent by prosecutors of her case. The judge said the pair exchanged 'racially and sexually offensive emails' that degraded and mocked Choy and her 16-year-old nephew. Today, the evidence seems to strongly implicate Choy's nephew, who fled to Hong Kong before the trial, and was later acquitted in the case. It has been a tough and long journey. I'm relieved that the truth has been revealed and to have my life back beyond prison walls. Francis Choy

  • Losing Face: Giuliani Posts Video, Having Forgotten To Edit Out His Racist 'Comedy'

    On Tuesday, former mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani wrapped up an edition of his podcast Common Sense. According to Gizmodo, he then did a little post-show banter in front of a hot mic. However, when the episode aired on YouTube, that footage was still present. In it, he mocked the accent of Chinese people and pantomimed a bow. The personal attorney to President Donald Trump has a history of tech snafus, including butt-dialing a reporter and locking himself out of his iPhone. His 'security solutions' company, Giuliani Security, won millions in contracts. Its website was riddled with numerous glaring security vulnerabilities.
