Introduction:
US Chinese website reporter Wang Yiyi reported in New York that Manhattan District Attorney Vance (Cyrus Vance Jr.) will leave at the end of this year. The second largest district attorney’s office in the United States will welcome a new one for the first time in more than a decade. Chief prosecutor. Among the candidates, there is such a person who has a special connection with the Chinese community.
detailed:
Omega Ling: "Hello everyone, I’m Eliza Orlins, a public lawyer running for the Manhattan District Attorney. My Chinese name is Omega Ling. I lived in Beijing when I was a child, my sister was adopted from China, and my father worked in China. Time is older than my age. So I have a deep bond with Asian and Asian communities.
Oume Ling said that because of her childhood experience and the fetters of her family, she has a deeper feeling for the recent surge in the Qiu Ya incident.
Oumei Ling: "These incidents of Qiuya really broke my heart and had an impact on myself, because of my family and friends, so I am very worried about this issue. And I was running for the post of District Attorney in Manhattan. It is to protect the safety of all New Yorkers, support the Asian community, and ensure that this judicial system serves everyone, and not unfairly serving only powerful white people."
In the previous several cases of Qiu Ya, the suspects were pending trial without guarantee, causing criticism from the Asian community on the judicial reforms of the previous two years. How can Asian suspects of hate crimes receive due legal punishment? The reporter asked Oume Ling about this issue. She did not give specific measures, but she repeatedly emphasized the need to loudly condemn hate crimes and urged the government to provide assistance to the victims.
Oumei Ling: "Sometimes, some things need to be resolved by publicizing what actually happened. Sometimes, hate crime legislation is used to make excuses for some potential problems or not to solve these problems at all. We speak out loudly. These things are important, but investing in our community is more important. If you think about the families of those who were murdered in Atlanta, they didn’t get any government assistance. Women who were attacked in San Francisco had to raise funds to pay for medical expenses through GoFundMe The government would rather spend billions of budget to maintain law and order and monitor surveillance, but it has not really helped and improved the community. The government is always after the matter, but it has not really helped from the beginning."
Oume Ling cited the National Treasure Bank as the only bank prosecuted after the 2008 financial crisis and condemned the judicial system that was eroded by racial discrimination. She said that carrying out more comprehensive judicial reforms is one of the focuses of her campaign platform.
Oumei Ling: "There are many district attorneys in the United States who did not serve the Asian community impartially. In many cases, when they targeted the Asian community, no one pointed it out. For example, after the Atlanta shooting, people tried to say, "We don't know. Is this case related to ethnicity?" In fact, we all know it. We should speak out loudly so that we can combat the phenomenon of Qiuya."
But on the point of bail reform, Oumei Ling believes that the only effect of cash bail is to ensure that the suspect returns to the court, but it is very unfair to those who have no money to pay the bail. She said that research has shown that not prosecuting low-level cases can reduce the likelihood of the suspect's re-offending.
